Chapter 497 - 496: See You Again, Zhao Rong!

Chapter 497: Chapter 496: See You Again, Zhao Rong!

Lin Bai arrived at the guest hall of the Demon Slaying Alliance.

The warrior smiled and said, "The Alliance Leader will soon be out of his isolation. He said you’ve had a long journey and suggested I serve you some good wine and food."

"Brother Lin Bai, have a drink. This is our premium wine from the Qingling Mountains. The Leader doesn’t usually offer this to just anyone."

As he spoke, the warrior poured Lin Bai a cup of wine and handed it to him.

Lin Bai held the cup of wine, smiling at the warrior and asked, "Where is Tie Feng?"

The warrior replied, "The Alliance Leader will soon be out. Don’t be anxious. First, have a sip of the wine."

"Oh."

Lin Bai let out a meaningful smile, holding his cup of wine, gazing at it, a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Your wine here is quite interesting. You guys like to poison it... and this poison, it seems to be Snake Heart Poison?"

Lin Bai said faintly with a smile.

At Lin Bai’s words, the warrior immediately turned pale, his eyes filled with fear, and began to sweat profusely. His legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Lin Bai smiled again, saying, "Why not call the hidden warriors with their swords ready to strike? What’s the point of hiding?"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Instantly, over a hundred warriors who were at the first level of the True Martial Realm burst through the doors. Every single one of them looked vicious, glaring menacingly at Lin Bai. Their swords shone cold, radiating murderous intent.

"Lin Bai, you’ve got real nerve to come back here. Today, you’ll definitely become a ghost under our blades!"

A warrior at the first level of the True Martial Realm spoke viciously.

Lin Bai wasn’t interested in wasting words with warriors of the True Martial Realm. He coldly asked, "Where is Tie Feng? Is this how the Demon Slaying Alliance treats its guests? Is this how Tie Feng treats his guests?"

Lin Bai demanded coldly.

Lin Bai felt that even though he wasn’t close with Tie Feng, he had helped the Demon Slaying Alliance before.

It wasn’t like Tie Feng to turn against him so ruthlessly.

"Demon Slaying Alliance? Hmph, The Demon Slaying Alliance was annihilated six months ago. Open your eyes and take a good look, this place is the Qingtian Alliance!" sneered a warrior at the first level of the True Martial Realm.

"Qingtian Alliance?"

Lin Bai exclaimed in amazement.

Lin Bai remembered that the Qingtian Alliance had already been wiped out. In fact, he himself had killed the former leader and had even burned down the Qingtian Alliance’s base.

"What’s going on?" asked Lin Bao, looking puzzled at everyone.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha."

At that moment, a sharp feminine voice rang out.

The Qingtian Alliance members surrounding Lin Bai instantly opened a pathway. A woman with a youthful face under a luxurious black robe walked out from another room and in front of Lin Bai.

"Lin Bai, let me tell you what’s going on."

The woman walked in, her eyes filled with frosty killing intent staring at Lin Bai.

Upon seeing this woman, Lin Bai coldly exclaimed, "Zhao Rong!"

This woman was Zhao Rong.

Zhao Rong had once been the leader of the Qingtian Alliance and was the wife of Qin Xiangtian. When they were in Leize, Lin Bai had intended to kill her. However, in the end, he decided to rescue Tiehai Tang and Zhao Rong was able to escape.

Next to Zhao Rong were two ominous-looking black-robed figures.

These two figures were covered head to toe in black robes, making it impossible to see their faces.

However, when Lin Bai saw these two black-robed figures, he discerned their cultivation: "There are two top-notch warriors at the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm with Zhao Rong."

Correct, these two black-robed figures were at the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm.

In a remote place like Lingxi City and Qingling Mountains, the presence of two warriors at the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm was almost miraculous.

Generally, very few warriors who had reached the Xuanwu Realm would come to a place like the Qingling Mountains.

Zhao Rong pointed at Lin Bai, her voice filled with murderous rage, "Lin Bai, you killed my son! I was just forcing Tie Feng to reveal your whereabouts and background, and here you are, delivering yourself right into my hands. This saves me the trouble of looking for you!"

Lin Bai was startled, and asked, "What have you done to Tie Feng?"

Zhao Rong sneered, "Hmph, didn’t expect this old geezer to be so resilient despite his low cultivation. I tortured him for more than five months, chopped off his limbs, gouged out his eyes, and he still refused to give away your whereabouts."

Buzz—

Upon hearing Zhao Rong’s words, Lin Bai’s expression gradually turned icy cold.

Lin Bai asked, "Where’s Tie Feng?"

Zhao Rong snorted coldly, "Don’t be impatient, I’ll send you to him soon."

"Seize him!"

Zhao Rong ordered.

All the warriors of the Qingtian Alliance raised their knives and swords and charged at Lin Bai.

"Get lost!"

Lin Bai roared in rage, sweeping his wide sleeve. Immediately, a Qi sword swung out, cutting down the incoming group of warriors at the first level of the True Martial Realm.

Zhao Rong laughed coldly, "Hmph, didn’t expect your cultivation to have increased so significantly during the half year you were away. You should be at the level of the Xuanwu Realm, right?"

"But it doesn’t matter. Even if you have broken through to the Earth Martial Realm, today you won’t escape death!"

"The two of you, it’s your turn."

Zhao Rong said to two black-robed people beside him.

These two black-robed people heard Zhao Rong’s voice, slowly lifted their heads, and sneered, "Hmph, never expected it, but an impoverished and remote ghost place like Qingling Mountain could produce a warrior of the Xuanwu Realm."

"Yeah, too unusual."

"Quit the talking, let’s join forces and take care of him."

These two black-robed people sneered at the same time, attacking Lin Bai from left and right!

The twos’ bodies were enveloped by a black mist, their fists coming down like demon gods.

Lin Bai didn’t dodge or evade; he stood on the spot.

Their punches landed on Lin Bai’s body.

"Are you guys tickling me?" Lin Bai looked at the two black-robed people and sneered.

The black-robed people were stunned, "What! Two full-force attacks from the Ninth Level of Earth Martial Realm, and you casually resist it without any defensive measures!"

"Humph!"

Lin Bai shook his body; the True Qi within him surged, turning into a strong shock wave, throwing both of them back.

Splat!

The two black-robed people were flung away like kite strings broken, shouting, "Heaven Martial Realm!"

Zhao Rong yelled, "Two useless trash, everyone attack together, kill Lin Bai, reward ten thousand spiritual stones!"

"What! Ten thousand spiritual stones!"

"We’re rich, we’re rich!"

"Attack!"

Great rewards make valiant men.

These warriors heard about the reward of ten thousand spiritual stones and rushed towards Lin Bai recklessly.

"Seeking death!"

Lin Bai sneered, a golden light flashed out from between his brows.

Suddenly, an overwhelming sword intention filled the whole field, hanging over the heads of all the warriors.

Whiz—

This golden light flew out, directly targeting the warriors.

Splat! Splat! Splat!

A golden light crazily stabbed through the throats of the warriors, emerging from the back of their necks, then flying towards the next warrior.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred warriors of True Martial Realm level one and two who charged at Lin Bai, all fell into a pool of blood.

On their throats, there was a blood hole the size of a fist.
