Chapter 612 - 611: Divine Scorpion Sub-Altar

Chapter 612: Chapter 611: Divine Scorpion Sub-Altar

Lin Bai was healing in the forest, after having consumed many healing pills.

Three days later, Lin Bai’s injuries had largely been healed.

Meanwhile, Ji Xiang stood by Lin Bai’s side, just like a piece of wood.

"Let’s go, Ji Xiang...Senior Brother," Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

Ji Xiang shook his head, "There’s no need to call me Senior Brother. I have already been expelled from the sect. Just call me Ji Xiang."

Lin Bai laughed, "But you were once a disciple of Master, you joined earlier than me, so it’s not inappropriate for me to call you Senior Brother."

Hearing this, Ji Xiang could only give a bitter smile.

Lin Bai looked at the three headless corpses of the black-robed men on the ground and asked curiously, "Who are these people exactly, and why would they have three Human Elixir Realm experts attempt to kill me?"

Lin Bai walked over, picked up the storage bags of the three people, and checked them carefully. They were impeccably clean.

Ji Xiang unbuttoned the robes on these people’s chests.

It was then that Lin Bai suddenly noticed that on their chests was a tattoo of a scorpion.

The tattoos on all three were exactly the same.

"What does this scorpion tattoo represent?" Lin Bai asked in confusion.

Ji Xiang said, "Five Poison Sect, Divine Scorpion Sub-Altar."

Lin Bai asked curiously, "Senior Brother Ji Xiang, do you recognize this tattoo?"

Ji Xiang said, "A hundred years ago, Five Poison Sect was the most powerful Devil Path sect in the Lingdong 700 States. Most of their disciples practiced poison techniques. They were terrifyingly powerful and ruthless, often slaughtering the martial arts cities in the Lingdong 700 States."

"The Miracle Ridge sent multiple experts to the Lingdong 700 States on countless occasions, but they were never able to find the Five Poison Sect, and always returned empty-handed."

"But, I heard that twenty years ago, a man named Lin Duo stormed the Five Poison Sect, and almost all of their experts were slaughtered. Afer that, the Five Poison Sect disappeared from the Lingdong 700 States."

"But who would have thought that this once mighty sect is still around."

"Five Poison Sect still exists."

Ji Xiang said.

Hearing Ji Xiang’s explanation, Lin Bai was more or less certain that these warriors were indeed the followers of the Five Poison Sect.

Ji Xiang said, "The Five Poison Sect is divided into five altars. These men had a scorpion tattoo on their chests. If I’m not mistaken, they should be warriors from the Divine Scorpion Sub-Altar of the Five Poison Sect."

Lin Bai came to a sudden realization, "So that’s how it is."

Ji Xiang asked, "Why did you provoke them?"

Lin Bai was very puzzled.

Could it be that Five Poison Sect found out Lin Bai is Lin Duo’s son and want revenge?

But after thinking it over carefully, Lin Bai found this to be impossible. If the Five Poison Sect really knew that Lin Bai is Lin Duo’s son, they wouldn’t just send a few Human Elixir Realm warriors to kill him. Rather, the Five Poison Sect would most likely mobilize all their forces to kill Lin Bai, to avenge their past blood feud with Lin Duo.

If it wasn’t for the sake of revenge, then why did these members of the Divine Scorpion Sub-Altar from the Five Poison Sect want to kill Lin Bai?

"Could it be because of the Vermilion Bird Seal ..."

Lin Bai suddenly realized.

During the previous battle, the green-faced big man had said that Lin Bai had taken something he shouldn’t have.

After a lot of consideration, the only thing Lin Bai had taken from Chen Deqi’s storage bag was the Vermilion Bird Seal.

"It seems I’ll have to be more careful in the future. If the Five Poison Sect still harbors ill intentions and attempts to kill me again, I’m afraid I’ll be in danger."

"However, since these three did not reveal their identities, it means that Five Poison Sect does not want to expose itself to the public at the moment..."

"Don’t provoke me, otherwise your Five Poison Sect will be wiped out again. This time, I’ll ensure that you are completely destroyed!"

Lin Bai said deeply.

At this thought, Lin Bai remembered the storage bag he had obtained from Young Master Yishan.

Lin Bai immediately opened it, but didn’t find the other half of the Vermilion Bird Seal in Young Master Yishan’s storage bag.

"Don’t have it, it must be in the hands of Five Poison Sect then. Forget it, I don’t even know what the Vermilion Bird Seal is for anyway," Lin Bai shook his head and said.

After a moment of thought, Lin Bai said, "Let’s go, Senior Brother Ji Xiang. Let’s return to the Spirit Sword Sect."

Lin Bai took out his flying sword and hopped on.

Ji Xiang followed suit.

The flying sword plunged into the cloud sky, heading straight to the Spirit Sword Sect.

It was now three or four days later. If nothing untoward had happened, Ji Bei, Ye Guxing, and Nanli Dao should have arrived at the Spirit Sword Sect.

Seeing Lin Bai’s flying sword, Ji Xiang’s eyes did not show a trace of envy.

At this point, Ji Xiang no longer wished to gain any legacy; his sole desire was to beg for Ling Tianzi’s forgiveness.

The Spirit Sword Sect.

Ye Guxing and Nanli Dao, accompanying Ji Bei, had been hustling for four straight days and nights before they finally arrived at the Spirit Sword Sect.

Days before, Su Jiannan had arranged for disciples to wait outside the Spirit Sword Sect for Lin Bai’s return.

Now that they saw Ji Bei coming back, these disciples hastily conveyed the message into the Spirit Sword Sect.

Shortly afterwards, Su Jiannan, accompanied by a group of elders from the Elder Pavilion, swiftly arrived at the mountain gate.

"They’re back."

"They finally returned."

"Has Senior Brother Lin Bai returned? Dongling’s First Sword Cultivator, the pride of our Spirit Sword Sect!"

Many disciples from the Spirit Sword Sect spoke up excitedly.

In front of them, on the ancient path, three fast horses sprinted towards them, stopping in front of Su Jiannan.

Su Jiannan’s initial joyous expression immediately fell. He did not see Lin Bai among these three men, so he asked, "Ji Bei, Ye Guxing, and Nanli Dao, how come only you three returned, where is Lin Bai?"

Ji Bei dismounted from his horse, spurting out blood on the spot. He said in urgency, "Sect Leader, Sect Leader, hurry and save Lin Bai, he is being pursued by a master of the Human Elixir Realm!"

"What!"

Su Jiannan was furious, his face crimson with rage.

"All warriors above the Heaven Martial Realm ninth layer of the Spirit Sword Sect, follow me!"

While speaking, Su Jiannan prepared to lead all the warriors of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm from the Spirit Sword Sect out of the sect.

"Let’s go, let’s go, let’s save Lin Bai!"

"Go to the stable, bring me all the panting demon horses."

"I also want to go, I want to go, I want to save Senior Brother Lin Bai."

One by one, the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect began shouting one after another.

In an instant, the entire Spirit Sword Sect was on the move.

Some were preparing elixir pills, some were fetching treasure swords, and some were leading battle horses, moving with great haste.

The Spirit Sword Sect had finally nurtured a person of such talent against heaven, how could they let him perish just like that?

If they could swallow this bitter pill, then there would be no difference between the existence or non-existence of the Spirit Sword Sect.

In half a day, all the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect were on standby, as if prepared to march off to destroy the enemy.

Just at that moment, Lin Bai, riding his sword, arrived above the Spirit Sword Sect, and asked curiously, "Strange, why are the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect so busy today?"

Standing in mid-air, Lin Bai saw the angry looks on the faces of Su Jiannan and Ji Bei.

Immediately, Lin Bai descended, smiling as he asked, "Sect Leader, Elder Ji Bei, what happened? Did someone offend you?"

Whoosh—

Lin Bai descended from the sky on his sword.

"Senior Brother Lin Bai!"

"It’s Senior Brother Lin Bai!"

"Damn, Senior Brother Lin Bai actually returned on a flying sword."

One after another, the warriors on standby, upon seeing Lin Bai descending on his flying sword, shouted with full excitement.

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, you’re finally back, I thought you were gone."

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, I missed you so much."

One after another, the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect wept and shouted.

Seeing all the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect dressed in mourning and sobbing as they looked at him, as if he couldn’t return, Lin Bai’s face immediately darkened.
