Chapter 496: Chapter 495: Returning to the Old Place!

Half an hour later.

Lin Bai approached the Qingling Mountain Range but passed by Lingxi City first.

"Lingxi City."

Standing atop the clouds, Lin Bai looked down at this bustling city with a glimpse towards the Lin Family.

Slowly, Lin Bai descended and walked along the streets of Lingxi City.

This was where Lin Bai had lived for over a decade.

The Lin Family!

Looking at the tall walls of the Lin residence, a hint of reluctance appeared in Lin Bai’s eyes.

After all, this was where he grew up.

"Hey, have you heard? Lin Zi’er has already reached the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm in her cultivation at Canghai Yuntai Palace. Her strength is incredibly terrifying."

"Heard about that, they say that the Canghai Yuntai Palace even offered Lin Zi’er the position of the next Sect Leader, but she refused."

"Joking, my cousin Lin Zi’er has her sights on the Miracle Ridge. A mere Shenwu Kingdom couldn’t possibly stop her."

"...."

"Humph, do you guys still remember Lin Bai?"

"Who can forget him? The eternal disgrace of Lin Family, the most useless piece of trash in the history of Lin Family."

"Supposedly this kid had some sort of luck and even became the king within Shenwu Kingdom."

"Cut the crap, with his capabilities, not to brag, but my cousin Zi’er could crush him with just a finger."

"I also think that Lin Bai is nothing compared to Cousins Zi’er. One is a Phoenix in the Nine Heavens, the other is a mud fish in the Mud Pond, How can you even compare?"

"Hahaha, Lin Bai is just a muddy loach!"

"Well said, Lin Bai is a muddy loach!"

Lin Bai stood silently outside the Lin Family Mansion. The disciples of Lin Family who passed by were saying some extremely harsh words.

"Hey? Who are you, and what are you doing in front of Lin Family’s Mansion? Don’t tell me you’re up to no good?"

At this moment, the group of people who had been laughing at Lin Bai turned suddenly cold and inquired.

Hearing this, Lin Bai, expressionless, turned around to look at these people.

"You seem familiar. Have we met before?" One of the Lin Family disciples asked.

With a cold smile, Lin Bai replied, "My name is Lin Bai."

Crack!

Hearing this, the eyes of the disciples widened in surprise as they stared at Lin Bai.

"You are Lin Bai..."

The disciples of the Lin Family were astonished.

Lin Bai sneered, "Who just called me a ’Muddy Loach’, I wonder?"

"It was me who insulted you, what can you do? Lin Bai, let me tell you, you are now just a low-ranking member of the Lin Family, while I am a high-ranking member. Soon, I will be admitted to the Canghai Yuntai Palace. In front of me, you are nothing more than a muddy loach."

"If you know what’s good for you, kneel down and beg for mercy. Otherwise, you will not be spared from the punishment of our Family rules."

A young man from the Lin Family arrogantly laughed, revealing his superior rank in the Family, trying to suppress Lin Bai.

"Heh." Lin Bai chuckled, his palm striking fiercely.

Thump!

With one palm strike, Lin Bai hit the young man’s chest, sending him flying hundreds of meters away. His bones were nearly all shattered, and he was vomiting blood constantly.

"Ahahah, it hurts, it hurts. My True Qi, no no no, my True Qi."

"Lin Bai, you’ve destroyed my Dantian!"

The young man could not believe it.

Lin Bai spoke coldly, "Today I destroyed your Dantian, consider this a lesson."

At that moment, Lin Bai’s cold gaze swept over the other disciples of the Lin Family.

The disciples, terrified by Lin Bai’s ferocity, hastily fell to their knees begging for mercy, fearing that Lin Bai would trash them with a single palm.

"Lin Bai, spare us, please."

"Brother Lin Bai, please don’t disable me, don’t disable me."

"Brother Lin Bai, I’m sorry, I didn’t say these things, I didn’t curse you."

These Lin Family disciples said.

Lin Bai said, "Go back and tell Lintai Yue to collect Lin Zi’er’s body at Canghai Yuntai Palace in two months!"

After that, Lin Bai stepped onto the flying sword and dashed out of Lingxi City.

"I shall never return to this place."

Lin Bai stood on the flying sword, glanced back at Lingxi City, his eyes conveyed a sense of sadness and determination.

Returning to Lingxi City, Lin Bai wanted to reminisce the old times, but unexpectedly, this only increased his sorrow.

Qingling Mountains.

Lin Bai, standing in the clouds, was heading straight for Leize.

"I should probably check out Demon Slaying Alliance first."

Lin Bai left Lingxi City, headed for Qingling Mountains, feeling a small pinch of relief.

Lin Bai remembered that, after he left, the Demon Slaying Alliance had become the most powerful alliance within the Qingling Mountains.

Almost a year had passed, Lin Bai was curious if Tie Feng had taken the Demon Slaying Alliance to a new height.

His flying sword landed in a forest. Lin Bai walked towards the Demon Slaying Alliance without creating much uproar.

The headquarters of the Demon Slaying Alliance was still located in the same canyon and had not moved anywhere else.

Therefore, Lin Bai was able to find it swiftly.

As Lin Bai emerged from the jungle and came to the mountain gate of the Demon Slaying Alliance, a warrior shouted from a watchtower, "Who goes there?"

Lin Bai shouted with a smile, "I am a friend of the Demon Slaying Alliance. Please kindly notify your brother that Lin Bai has come to meet the Alliance Leader Tie Feng."

"What! You are Lin Bai!"

The warrior on the watchtower stared at Lin Bai, his eyes wide open with surprise.

Lin Bai smiled gently and nodded.

The frightened warrior said, "Please wait, let me go in and notify the Alliance Leader. Once your identity is confirmed, I will take you in."

"Alright."

Lin Bai nodded.

When seeing this warrior so surprised, Lin Bai didn’t hold any suspicion.

After all, when he was in the Qingling Mountains, Lin Bai single-handedly overturned the Qingtian Alliance and helped the Demon Slaying Alliance gain absolute dominion.

Less than a year had passed since that time, and Lin Bai came back again. When they heard the name Lin Bai, although surprised, Lin Bai was calm.

However, after this warrior went in to announce.

It took almost half an hour for him to come back.

The warrior came back, sweating profusely and apologized, "I’m really sorry. The Alliance Leader was in retreat. I waited for a while and ended up coming back late. I made Brother Lin Bai wait."

"The Alliance Leader has commanded me to take you in."

Lin Bai laughed, "It’s alright. Lead the way."

"Please."

The warrior led Lin Bai into the Demon Slaying Alliance.

As Lin Bai slowly walked into the canyon of the Demon Slaying Alliance, he discovered that there were thousands of people gathered there, all looking at him with surprise.

Lin Bai smiled and glanced at these people. Their cultivation was not high, around the Ninth Level of Martial Arts, and only a few were warriors of the First and Second Level of True Martial Realm.

Such level of warriors had already become too low to catch Lin Bai’s attention.

These warriors, looking surprised, stared at Lin Bai with their eyes open wide. More noticeably, their faces were filled with shock and apprehension, with a touch of solemnity.

This solemnity felt as if they were facing a major enemy.

"Hmm?"

Lin Bai furrowed his brows, feeling that something was not right.

"Why do these people seem... to treat me like an enemy?"

Lin Bai wondered to himself.
