The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 480 - 479: Sect Leader Supreme! Su Jiannan!

Chapter 480: Chapter 479: Sect Leader Supreme! Su Jiannan!

Second Elder, no, he should now be addressed as Sect Leader Supreme Su Jiannan!

Su Jiannan’s expression was solemn, the aura of the Human Elixir Realm emanated from him without restraint, intimidating all the guests present. He stepped forward with resolute strides, as if each step could shatter stars, towards the altar.

On the altar were the divine seats of all the Supreme Leaders since the establishment of the Spirit Sword Sect!

"Su Jiannan has actually broken through to the Human Elixir Realm!"

"Right, not just the Human Elixir Realm! He’s also getting quite close to the Human Elixir Realm Second Layer, looks like he will break through soon."

"It seems the Spirit Sword Sect has gained some blessings. With a warrior on the brink of reaching the Human Elixir Realm Second Layer, there’s hope for the rise of the Spirit Sword Sect."

The guests whispered among themselves.

Wang Yingjie from the Shengyue Sect sneered disdainfully, "Hmph, it’s just a mere Human Elixir Realm First Layer warrior. Our Shengyue Sect has over twenty such warriors."

"There is only one in the Spirit Sword Sect, truly befitting of a low-level sect."

Wang Yingjie laughed coldly. Even though his cultivation was inferior to Su Jiannan’s, he did not fear him because he had the support of a powerful sect as his backing!

The warriors of the Canghai Yuntai Palace, particularly Di Huayue, glanced at Su Jiannan a few more times, but soon averted their gaze.

Su Jiannan walked across the 3,000-meter square, arriving under the altar.

He turned around, observing all sides.

Shortly, he retracted his Human Elixir Realm aura, thus relieving the pressure bearing on the shoulders of all the warriors present.

"We pay our respects to the Sect Leader Supreme of Spirit Sword Sect!"

"We pay our respects to the Sect Leader Supreme of Spirit Sword Sect!"

All the guests paid their respects in unison.

With a slight smile, Su Jiannan said, "I appreciate all who have travelled long distances to attend my succession ceremony at the Spirit Sword Sect. If there are any shortcomings in our hospitality, I ask for your understanding."

"Not at all, not at all!"

"The Spirit Sword Sect has been considerate in every aspect, we are honored by the treatment."

"Thank you for the Spirit Sword Sect’s hospitality."

The guests responded with polite chatter.

Su Jiannan smiled, "In that case, let’s begin the ceremony."

All the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect focused their attention seriously on Su Jiannan.

Su Jiannan said solemnly, "Lin Bai, where are you?"

Upon hearing Su Jiannan’s call.

The First Princess said, "He’s calling you."

Lin Bai frowned and said, "What else is there for me to do?"

The First Princess advised, "Go quickly, don’t keep the Sect Leader waiting. After all, today is a big day for the Spirit Sword Sect. Don’t embarrass us in front of the other sects."

"Okay."

Lin Bai responded and exited his seat, heading to the altar.

Upon hearing Su Jiannan calling for Lin Bai.

All the guests present turned their keen gazes toward him.

Many guests at the event were there simply to see Lin Bai.

After all, Lin Bai’s recent influence between Shenwu Kingdom and Dayue Kingdom was colossal, causing a stir among more than a dozen neighboring kingdoms.

Seeing Lin Bai get up from his seat, the crowd exclaimed.

"Is he Lin Bai?"

"He’s so young. How old is he, not even twenty, is he?"

"My goodness, not even twenty years old and he already possesses such glory. If we let him continue to grow, it would be inconceivable."

"Incredible, I bet it won’t be long before the Spirit Sword Sect manifests Lin Bai’s true rise."

Lin Bai moved steadily and powerfully toward the altar.

The Second Elder, Ji Bei, and Ji Bai all looked at Lin Bai with gratified expressions in their eyes.

Watching Lin Bai, the eyes of Wang Yingjie from Shengyue Sect narrowed, full of murderous intent: "That’s Lin Bai, the one who killed Zhao Liu. Huh, looking at him, he doesn’t seem capable of killing Zhao Liu."

"I wonder if it’s because Zhao Liu was too careless and was killed by him."

Wang Yingjie glanced at Lin Bai with a face full of disdain.

When Tang Tianhao saw Lin Bai, he immediately recalled the scene of Tang Yuan falling under Lin Bai’s sword, and said coldly: "Wang Yingjie, don’t underestimate Lin Bai. All those who underestimated him have now reported to Yama Hall."

Wang Yingjie laughed: "Elder, don’t worry. With my cultivation at the middle stage of the half-step Divine Pill Realm, I am confident that I can defeat Lin Bai in less than three rounds!"

Hearing Wang Yingjie’s confidence, Tang Tianhao laughed: "If you are so confident, then that’s great. After the heavenly sacrifice ceremony, I will do everything possible to persuade Su Jiannan to hold a martial arts competition. At that time, you must not hold back against the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, especially against Lin Bai! Show no mercy!"

Wang Yingjie sneered: "Rest assured, Elder. Didn’t I come to the Spirit Sword Sect to slaughter Lin Bai?"

Di Huayue of Canghai Yuntai Palace looked at Lin Bai and said coldly in her heart: "Hmph, so this is Lin Bai, Bai Xiaoxiao’s prince consort. What virtues and talents do you possess to make the First Princess like you so much?"

"Because of your record of victories in the Chaoyang Palace? I can easily achieve the same level of victory. You are not brave."

Di Huayue was contemptuous of Lin Bai.

At one side, a prince from the royal family of Shen Feng Kingdom looked at Lin Bai with interest, and said: "So this is Lin Bai who has made such a name for himself in Shenwu Kingdom and Dayue Kingdom in the past year."

"The Lin Bai who forcibly abducted Consort Yun from the Imperial Capital of Dayue Kingdom and almost split the Imperial Palace of Dayue Kingdom with a single sword?"

"Interesting?"

The prince said with a faint smile.

The crown prince of Dayue Kingdom, Toba Xiu, was watching Lin Bai at this moment, saying nothing. However, from his gaze, one could see a fleeting sense of gratitude.

Had Lin Bai not stood strong on the Southern battlefield, the throne of Dayue Kingdom would probably have fallen into the hands of Tuoba Feng by now.

As for him, he would have had to go into exile, if not for his death at the hands of Tuoba Feng.

Thus, Toba Xiu was grateful to Lin Bai.

People were unaware that among the guests of the Spirit Sword Sect, there were two figures in white and black robes.

The figure under the black robe was an elderly man with a friendly smile. Although his energy was nearly depleted, his eyes were as sharp as a drawn sword, and his entire body emanated the aura of a sharp sword.

The figure under the white robe was a woman with a cold look. When she saw Lin Bai, her eyes were almost devoid of any reaction.

It was as if she were looking at a dead man.

"Ruohan, what do you think of this man?" The elderly man asked with a faint smile.

The white-robed woman said coldly, "Mediocre."

The elderly man laughed, "This man is Lin Bai. Over the past year, his exploits have won a great reputation among the Spirit Sword Sect, Shenwu Kingdom, and Dayue Kingdom. On our journey here, we have heard about it."

The woman in the white robe said, "Indeed, it wasn’t easy."

The old man laughed and said, "If we are lucky, we can invite him to participate in the Sword Discourse Conference!"

The woman in the white robe said, "Let’s wait and see."

The old man smiled and stopped talking.

Lin Bai went to the foot of the altar, made a fist salute, and respectfully said, "Disciple Lin Bai, greeting Sect Leader Supreme!"

Su Jiannan looked at Lin Bai approvingly and said, "Lin Bai, according to the rules of the Spirit Sword Sect, during each sect leader’s succession ceremony, all the elders in the Elder Pavilion and the core martial artists of Spirit Sword Sect need to participate in the Heavenly Sacrifice together. That’s why I have asked you to come. We go together."

"So it is, I’m willing to participate!"

Lin Bai nodded and smiled.
