Chapter 543: Chapter 542: Ji Xiang and Ling Tianzi

Just then, Lin Bai saw the severely wounded Young Master Yishan. Without hesitation, he launched his ferocious flying sword towards Yishan.

"Die!"

The sword, radiating a bright aura, darted towards Yishan’s throat.

"No!"

Chen Deqi, pale with fear, moved in a flash to stand in front of Yishan.

Squelch——

The flying sword pierced right through Chen Deqi’s heart. Blood splattered all over the scene.

"Father!"

Chen Deqi’s blood smeared on Yishan’s face, painting a ghastly picture.

Chen Deqi said, "Quick, leave. My old life means nothing. You still have your youth and future ahead of you. Go!"

"Father!" Yishan yelled in agony.

"Go——"

When Chen Deqi exhaled his last words, his breath grew weak and he died.

Yishan laid Chen Deqi down and sent a vicious glare toward Lin Bai. He muttered coldly, "Lin Bai, wait for me. I will return for you. After I’ve killed you, I’ll go for your parents, your clan, and will exterminate your entire family, leaving nothing behind."

Having said that, Yishan made a swift getaway into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains without even looking back.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Having become a sworn enemy of Yishan, Lin Bai had no intention of letting him off.

Lin Bai quickly gathered up Chen Deqi’s storage bag and set off to pursue Yishan.

Yishan was incredibly quick, in a blink of an eye, he was already thousands of miles away.

Lin Bai took his first step, with his flying sword beneath his feet, he shot forward.

Lin Bai pursued Yishan through the air, standing on his flying sword.

Yishan, having grown up in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, had ample knowledge of the landscape and used it to dodge Lin Bai’s attacks.

After Lin Bai pursued for several thousand miles, Yishan suddenly disappeared.

"Where is he?"

Lin Bai descended into the woods, beginning his search in the valley.

The moment when Lin Bai’s sword shattered the undergrowth to reveal a circular teleportation array of a hundred meters in diameter, a chilling look crossed his eyes.

There was a highly secluded teleportation array hidden in this place.

It was obvious that Yishan was aware of the teleportation array’s existence and had deliberately rushed towards it.

This teleportation array was designed for one-way, one-time use only.

In other words, this array could only teleport people away from here and could only be used once.

By now, to pursue and kill Yishan was already impossible.

Lin Bai was unsure as to where the teleportation array had taken Yishan, and moreover, the array had broken and was beyond use.

"Sigh!"

Feeling a sense of loss, Lin Bai softly sighed, got on his flying sword, and returned to Qi Mountain.

With a commanding presence radiating from Lin Bai, he silenced the crowd.

Upon Lin Bai’s advice, Mengyun Chuan agreed to take control of Qi Mountain once again.

The Meng Clan members who were saved by Mengyun Chuan were overjoyed when they heard that Lin Bai had saved Qi Mountain. But when they learned of Mengyun Xiang’s death, they were deeply grieved.

Five days later!

Holding a White Ghost Orchid, Lin Bai walked into a flower valley.

In this valley, there was a meticulously maintained grave.

"Little girl, I’m leaving. This is my last visit to you. Perhaps, I won’t ever come back."

"You, behave yourself over there..."

"Even though we didn’t know each other for long, I loved your personality. You were like a pure white lotus, incompatible with this dirty world..."

"Your existence showed me that there was goodness in the hearts of warriors too."

"At the beginning of life, humans are innately good!"

Lin Bai stood up, surveying the surroundings. This Flower Valley was full of flowers planted by Lin Bai.

After lingering in the Flower Valley for more than an hour, Lin Bai flew back to Qi Mountain on his flying sword.

In Qi Mountain, after selling all the demon beasts he had hunted, Lin Bai made a profit of two billion spiritual stones.

Originally, the demon beasts Lin Bai hunted were worth at most, only around one hundred and fifty million. But, Mengyun Chuan directly gave Lin Bai two billion, saying that the extra spiritual stones were a token of gratitude.

Lin Bai did not hesitate, accepting it right away.

The next morning,

Mengyun Chuan saw Lin Bai off from Qi Mountain, saying, "Brother Lin, are you sure you don’t want to stay?"

Mengyun Chuan recognized Lin Bai’s powerful strength and wanted him to stay in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. He was even willing to offer him the lordship of Qi Mountain.

Because with Lin Bai there, Qi Mountain would definitely thrive.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Brother Meng, my path isn’t in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains but somewhere much further."

"Well, Brother Meng, if I have the opportunity, I will come back to visit you."

Mengyun Chuan nodded and said, "Alright then, Brother Lin, you’re going to the Famous Sword Manor in the Heavenly Sword Dynasty to attend the Sword Discourse Conference, right? You must be careful, this year may be the strongest year for sword cultivators in Famous Sword Manor."

Lin Bai smiled and said, "It is only interesting when competing with the strong."

"Then Brother Meng, I shall take my leave."

Mengyun Chuan nodded.

Lin Bai gave a small smile. His flying sword descended and Lin Bai soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

Watching Lin Bai take off on his flying sword, Mengyun Chuan said seriously, "My clan and I will never forget Brother Lin’s kindness."

The elders of the Meng Clan who had come with Mengyun Chuan were all taken aback by the speed of Lin Bai’s flying sword.

"That’s so fast. He’s already tens of thousands of miles away in an instant."

"He flew a hundred thousand miles in the blink of an eye."

"How powerful! Even a strong one in the Flying Sky Realm wouldn’t be able to perform such a fast escape light."

"This man has extraordinary abilities and immeasurable potential!"

The elders of the Meng Clan all expressed their deep feelings.

When Lin Bai left the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains,

a figure descended from the sky and landed within the temple.

He stood tall and looked at the dead Phoenix Tree in front of him.

"Ji Xiang! I will kill you!"

At this moment, the old monk’s roar of fury and outrage was still echoing from the dry well beside the temple.

The figure sneered disdainfully at the well, then let out a cold snort.

At this very moment, the Headless Knight and the Desolate Sword Cultivator launched an attack on the temple.

When the Desolate Sword Cultivator saw the figure standing in the temple, his blood-red eyes flickered with surprise and delight. His husky voice echoed, "Oh, Mentor..."

The figure silently turned around, he looked at the Desolate Sword Cultivator just as casually.

This person was none other than Ling Tianzi.

The Desolate Sword Cultivator tossed his sword away, knelt in front of Ling Tianzi, his face filled with excitement and joy, crying out, "Registered Disciple Ji Xiang, pays his respect to his mentor."

Ling Tianzi was expressionless, his eyes tinged with faint anger as he said, "Ji Xiang, I set up the Heaven-Connecting Secret Method for you, sealing off tens of thousands of miles here, allowing you a hundred-year period. But you have yet to slay this old monk."

Ji Xiang was guilty, "Ji Xiang has failed you, mentor."

Ling Tianzi said, "You have disappointed me greatly."

Ji Xiang bowed his head in anguish.

Ling Tianzi took a deep breath and said, "You have encountered Lin Bai, haven’t you?"

Ji Xiang said, "The warrior who entered the temple earlier? He was sent by you?"

Ling Tianzi casually responded, "He is my fourth disciple."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiang’s heart sank, he forced a bitter smile and said, "So that’s how it is."
