Chapter 617: Chapter 615: The Giant God Clan, Just Gave Me a Direction to Strike!_2

Lin Bai said with appreciation, "Thank you, Master, for your kind considerations."

"Please rest assured, Master, I will never surrender to the minions of the Giant God Clan."

"Fate presents itself in two outcomes - either the Giant God Clan perishes, or I do."

"And, as it happens, there are only three types of people in my world."

"One is family and friends. I will never point my sword at them."

"The second is those already slain by my hand ..."

When he got to this point, Lin Bai paused for a moment.

Ling Tianzi asked, "And the third type?"

Lin Bai grinned, "The third kind are those I’m about to slay! Without a doubt, the Giant God Clan fall into this category."

"Hahaha, to have such a fighting spirit, you are indeed my, Ling Tianzi’s, disciple!"

"Lin Bai, I eagerly await the day when the Sky-swallowing Clan reappears in front of the Giant God Clan after countless eras. It will indeed be a spectacle."

"In my lifetime, I have met many Sky-swallowing Clan members, but you are the only one who stands out as particularly special. I believe you may be able to break the Sky-swallowing Clan’s predetermined fate."

Ling Tianzi solemnly told Lin Bai.

"Once you manage to withstand the Giant God’s Intent, you can temporarily elude the crisis presented by the Giant God Clan. Among all the heavens and realms, it will take them at least a decade to locate you in a specific world."

"You should make good use of these ten years."

Ling Tianzi seriously discussed with Lin Bai.

"Master, I won’t disappoint you!" Lin Bai said with determination.

Lin Bai had clarified all his doubts, leaving just one last thing concerning Ji Xiang.

Remembering Ji Xiang, Lin Bai still felt a pang of compassion.

Ji Xiang’s first half of life was infinitely brilliant, his monster-level genius aura suppressing all other geniuses in the 700 states of Lingdong.

Then, an old monk arrived with the Demon Sword in an attempt to challenge his sword skills, which resulted in the extermination of Ji Xiang’s entire clan.

Ji Xiang returned from Miracle Ridge and pleaded with Ling Tianzi to kill the old monk on his behalf.

Ling Tianzi taught Ji Xiang to control the Demon Sword and set up an eternal boundary to trap the old monk in the temple.

Originally, Ling Tianzi took these measures to buy time for Ji Xiang, allowing him to find a method to deal with the old monk. However, Ji Xiang didn’t understand his intentions and spent his time guarding the temple.

A hundred years passed without Ji Xiang making any progress, causing Ling Tianzi to lose heart.

"Master, about Big Brother Ji Xiang...," Lin Bai began.

Ling Tianzi replied, "Enough, Lin Bai. The martial arts competition of the Four Major Sects is about to begin. If you wish to survive, you must bring back the Heavenly Protecting Stone Realm."

"You must entirely focus on resisting the Giant God’s Intent without being distracted by other things."

"Go and get some rest."

Ling Tianzi said.

As soon as Lin Bai heard this, it appeared that Ling Tianzi didn’t want him to mention Ji Xiang and promptly cut him off.

Refusing to give up, Lin Bai continued, "Master, about Big Brother Ji Xiang, he..."

Once Ling Tianzi heard him bring up Ji Xiang again, his face darkened and he growled with palpable anger, "Leave!"

Kacha—

Hearing Ling Tianzi’s furious shout, Lin Bai turned pale with fright and nodded hesitantly, "Yes, Master. I will take my leave."

Lin Bai left the study room.

Li Shanqing and Ji Xiang, standing at the top of the White Cloud Peak staircase, were startled by the shout of "Leave!" from Ling Tianzi’s study room, their eyes widening with shock.

Li Shanqing laughed, "Seems like Lin Bai asked for mercy on your behalf and angered Master."

Ji Xiang’s face showed guilt towards Ling Tianzi and gratitude to Lin Bai.

Soon, Lin Bai emerged from the study, looking as pale as death. He exchanged wry smiles and shook his head at Li Shanqing and Ji Xiang.

Ji Xiang said, "Thank you, Lin Bai."

Lin Bai responded with a bitter smile, "Master does not want to see you. He does not even want to hear your name. Every time it comes up, the Master loses his temper."

Ji Xiang gave a wry smile, "Okay, I understand, Lin Bai, Third Senior Brother, you all get on with your things. I will wait here for Master’s summons."

Sighing softly, Lin Bai descended from the mountaintop and returned to his room midway up the hill.

He rested that night.

The next morning, Lijian Xing arrived at Lin Bai’s residence.

Lijian Xing laughed, "Congratulation Lin Bai. You are the top Sword Cultivator of Eastern Ridge. To think you defeated even Yejian Qiu and Feng Yunxiu, truly impressive."

Lin Bai laughed and said, "It was pure luck."

Surprised, Lijian Xing said, "Luck? I saw you wield the flying sword and defeat Yejian Qiu. You made it look easy."

Lin Bai chuckled awkwardly and neither confirmed nor denied his claim.

Lijian Xing laughed, "Alright, I didn’t just come here to congratulate you. The date for the Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition has been set. It will take place half a month from now at the Canghai Yuntai Palace."

Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile appeared on Lin Bai’s face, as well as a spark of murderous intent in his eyes, "So it’s finally starting?"

Lijian Xing laughed, "This time, the one who has attracted everyone’s attention is Lin Zi’er, currently known as the top genius of Eastern Ridge. She possesses a Heaven Level Fifth Grade Martial Soul, her potential is limitless, and she has achieved the Great Perfection of Half-Step Divine Pill Realm. Absolutely startling."

Lin Bai smirked slightly, neither approving nor denying.

Lijian Xing’s laughter abruptly stopped as he seemed to recollect the grudge between Lin Bai and Lin Zi’er. He smiled and changed the subject, "Let’s forget about that. Lin Bai, the Sect Leader asked me to inquire if you’re planning on participating in the Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition."

"I will!"

"I must!"

Hearing Lijian Xing’s question, Lin Bai immediately replied resolutely.

"I have been preparing for this battle for a year!"

The tone of Lin Bai’s voice suddenly became severe.

Hearing this grave tone of Lin Bai, Lijian Xing felt a shiver run down his spine.

Lijian Xing said, "The Sect Leader knew you would participate, so he has already secured the spot for you."

"Apart from you, in our Spirit Sword Sect, the warriors who have reached the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm and are under the Bone Age of thirty are only Duan Qinghong, Lixuan Qing, and Sun Qiaomei. You will go together."

"As for us, Wang Hao, Sun Qian, Ye Guxing, Nanli Dao, our cultivation is too low. We haven’t even broken through to the Half-step Divine Pill Realm, we can only cheer you on."

Lijian Xing said with a laugh.

The Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition required warriors under the Bone Age of thirty and at least in the Realm of Half-step Divine Pill.

In the Spirit Sword Sect, the strongest warriors in the Half-step Divine Pill Realm are Duan Qinghong, Lixuan Qing, and Sun Qiaomei. Now, with Lin Bai, they made a total of four.

These three has long since comprehended the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm. They have spent years in overseas comprehension, attempting to break through to the Human Elixir Realm but have been unable to succeed.

With the Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition coincidentally about to start, these three returned to the Spirit Sword Sect.

This Chapter is 3700 words, a rather lengthy one.

It is important to clarify the Giant God Clan as this concerns Lin Bai’s future course.

Now that the backstory of the Giant God Clan and the Sky-swallowing Clan has been told, next, let’s continue with passion!

The Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition is about to begin! Time to kill Lin Zi’er!
