Chapter 411: Chapter 410: Invitation from the Miracle Ridge (Forty-third Update)

Lin Bai heard the sound of cheering, and with an expressionless face, he walked over to Tuoba Feng and picked up the Taishan Seal.

"Master once told me that this Taishan Seal contains an Earth Spirit Pearl, which holds pure earth attribute spiritual energy that can help me cultivate an Earth Attribute’s Spirit Vortex," he said.

Lin Bai held the Taishan Seal, feeling it for a moment. As his Master had indicated, an intense earth attribute spiritual energy indeed radiated from within it.

In his pride, Lin Bai pocketed the Taishan Seal, storing it inside his Storage Bag.

Tuoba Feng looked at Lin Bai, and even at this moment, his face still held an indomitable spirit. He watched Lin Bai calmly, without displaying even a shred of fear in his eyes.

"Come on, Lin Bai," Tuoba Feng coldly chuckled.

Tuoba Feng knew why Lin Bai approached him - it was clear that Lin Bai wanted to take his life.

"Your death will bring a perfect end to this battle between our nations," Lin Bai declared.

He lifted his Sharp Sword and slashed it towards the neck of Tuoba Feng!

"No!" a distressed cry rang out from Consort Yun.

Splat!

Blood spattered everywhere!

Lin Bai decapitated Tuoba Feng with a single swing of the sword.

The Emperor of Dayue Kingdom closed his eyes in agony.

As for Consort Yun, she fainted in the arms of the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom. Lin Bai heard the piercing cry and glanced back to see Consort Yun.

At that moment, he noticed a trail of bright red blood between Consort Yun’s legs.

"Was she pregnant?" he wondered aloud, finding it hard to believe as he looked at the unconscious Consort Yun.

The blood suggested that she had miscarried.

The Emperor of Dayue Kingdom, who was nearing death himself, could not have possibly fathered a child. So who could be the father of the child that was in her belly?, Lin Bai wondered, glancing back at the decapitated Tuoba Feng and saying nothing.

From Diao Cheng, a smile crept onto the face of the City Lord: "Now that the battle is decided, you may honor your promise, Great Dayue Kingdom."

The Emperor of the Dayue Kingdom, his face expressionless, turned to Lin Bai and spoke, "The Dayue Kingdom, in the presence of the Senior from Diao Cheng at the Miracle Ridge, solemnly swears to retreat this day. For the next ten years, we shall not offend Shenwu Kingdom."

"Senior from Diao Cheng, my son has just passed, and I must attend to his funeral. We will take our leave now. If there is any disrespect, the Dayue Kingdom will surely send gifts to make amends to you, Senior," said the Emperor once he finished his speech. Holding Consort Yun, he climbed aboard his chariot."

"Pull back! Let’s return to the Dayue Kingdom!" shouted the General accompanying them.

The three elite legions of Dayue Kingdom - namely the Moon God Legion, the City-Destroying Cannon Legion, and the Black Moon Legion - all began their journey back. They left behind a ten-thousand-foot trail of dust on the horizon as they advanced.

"We won!"

"We won!"

"We’re still alive! We won!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

"Long live Prince Consort! Long live Prince Consort!"

All the soldiers in the city were in high spirits, shouting in unison, their faces glowing with unparalleled cheer.

The First Princess, watching the departing figures of the Dayue Kingdom’s army, let out a sigh of relief, "Finally, it’s over. This battle is finally over."

Ji Bei and Ji Bai, covered in blood, took deep breaths. The pressure they’d felt over half a month had been enormous. But now that the Dayue Kingdom had retreated, the situation would naturally return to calm.

Wu Jian and the Fire Spirit, who were pressed against the city wall, were dumbfounded as they stared at the scene before them: "Did the Dayue Kingdom actually retreat? These cowards, come back! Are you being stupid? If you had just persisted a little longer, you could have taken the Shenwu Kingdom. Come back!"

Fire Spirit also angrily added, "I find myself agreeing with Brother Wu Jian. Why are these cowards running away?"

Murong Qi led other martial artists to stand aside in silence, watching Lin Bai. She quietly sighed, "Lin Bai’s growth is too fast. We need to find a way to slow him down."

"The Spirit Sword Sect’s Core Martial Artist Assessment is coming up. I hope Su Cang can kill him," she murmured to herself.

"This Su Cang is no simple character," Murong Qi said in a cold voice.

Immediately, Murong Qi moved, sending the soldiers pressing down Wu Jian and Fire Spirit flying.

"Murong Qi, what do you think you’re doing?" asked one of the soldiers angrily, having been flung aside.

Murong Qi replied, "The battle here is over. I am taking my disciple and returning to Canghai Yuntai Palace. Goodbye."

"Wu Jian, come with me."

Murong Qi immediately dragged Wu Jian away.

Murong Qi was frightened. He feared that once Lin Bai resolved the military affairs at Jia Yueguan and cleared his head, he might turn against Canghai Yuntai Palace.

Especially Wu Jian, who had provoked Lin Bai. What if Lin Bai would kill him with a single stroke?

Last time, at the Chaoyang Palace, Lin Bai killed all the martial artists from Canghai Yuntai Palace.

Would Lin Bai kill off all the martial artists from Canghai Yuntai Palace once again?

After weighing pros and cons, Murong Qi decisively rescued Wu Jian and departed directly with him.

After all, Murong Qi had a ten-day agreement with Lin Bai, and both parties were at stake.

Now, Lin Bai had fulfilled his promise.

Within ten days, the Dayue Kingdom had retreated.

Based on the bet, Murong Qi should offer his head to Lin Bai.

So, all in all, there was no way Murong Qi could stay here.

Taking Wu Jian with him, the warriors of Canghai Sky Palace departed.

"Go to the Imperial Capital and inform the Xu Family that everything is over at Jia Yueguan, and Canghai Yuntai Palace has done what it should have done. From now on, we won’t meddle in their matters anymore," Murong Qi told a disciple after leaving Jia Yueguan.

He immediately left the group, heading straight for the Imperial Capital.

On the battlefield.

Diao Cheng slowly approached Lin Bai, smiling "It is indeed rare for a crackerjack like you to emerge from such an obscure place like the Shenwu Kingdom. Truly admirable."

Lin Bai bowed his fist and said gratefully, "I thank Senior Diao Cheng for lending a hand. Otherwise, the Dayue Kingdom might not have retreated so easily."

Diao Cheng smiled faintly, "Not at all, I am just fond of talent."

"Lin Bai, I want to ask you something, have you ever thought about practicing at the Miracle Ridge?" Diao Cheng asked bluntly.

Lin Bai nodded, "The Miracle Ridge is the Martial Arts Sacred Land of Lingdong. As a junior, I’ve been admiring it for a long time and planned to go to the Miracle Ridge after next year’s Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition in Shenwu Kingdom."

Diao Cheng said joyfully, "That’s perfect. Let me give you a present."

While speaking, Diao Cheng took out a silver invitation from his storage bag and handed it over to Lin Bai.

The sight of the silver invitation astounded Wu Song, who was standing nearby. His eyes widened in shock.

Diao Cheng laughed. "If you plan to go to the Miracle Ridge, you can bring my name card directly to me at the Young Dragon Courtyard on the Miracle Ridge."

Lin Bai looked at the silver invitation, asking in surprise, "This is...?"

Diao Cheng laughed, "This is my invitation for you to join the Miracle Ridge."

Lin Bai’s mind tightened.

Not every martial artist could get an invitation from the Miracle Ridge.

The invited ones were either talents from the 700 States of Lingdong, individuals with astonishing gifts in certain areas, or those whose Cultivation had reached the peak and were no longer suitable to stay in the 700 States of Lingdong.

No matter what.

Not a single martial artist who had received an invitation from the Miracle Ridge was ordinary!

Those who received the invitation would definitely shake the world on the Miracle Ridge.

With excitement, Lin Bai slowly opened the silver invitation. It read, "This is Diao Cheng, Dean of the Young Dragon Courtyard of the Miracle Ridge. I saw in you, Lin Bai, a sword skill that shakes the world, courage, and wisdom. You are a unique talent in the world. I sincerely invite you to join the Young Dragon Courtyard at the Miracle Ridge, so we can explore the Martial Arts’ peak and seek the path to immortality together."
