The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 701 - 699: A Rich Young Master!

Chapter 701: Chapter 699: A Rich Young Master!

Jian Xuan said, "I can’t stay in the Spirit Sword Sect for long, even though everyone thinks I’m dead, they are still closely monitoring every move of the Spirit Sword Sect."

"If I stay here for too long, my presence will definitely be discovered."

"As I heard from Junior Brother Lin Bai, Su Zhan is still on the run outside. Not to mention, it’s about time I settled our scores with him in the time I have left."

"Fortunately, the Spirit Sword Sect is now an unrivaled force inside the Shenwu Kingdom, and we are tied through marriage to the Royal Family. With the Royal Family’s support, the Spirit Sword Sect won’t end up in the dire straits it was in before, so I can leave with peace of mind."

Jian Xuan said profoundly.

Su Jiannan knew that Jian Xuan had no choice but to leave; it was an unavoidable event.

But for Su Jiannan, as long as Jian Xuan was alive, he would always be a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect, regardless of whether he resided within the sect or not.

Su Jiannan then looked at Lin Bai and asked, "What about you, Lin Bai?"

Lin Bai said, "Sect Leader, I also plan on leaving."

Jian Xuan grinned, "Indeed, Junior Brother Lin Bai, the water pond in Lingdong is way too small. It’s not large enough for both of us to fully exert our abilities. If it weren’t for the incident of Su Zhan poisoning the Sect Leader years ago, I would have made a big name for myself in the Miracle Ridge by now."

"Unfortunately, with my current identity, I can no longer live under the sun."

"Junior Brother Lin Bai, when you get to the Miracle Ridge, be sure to practice hard, make the Spirit Sword Sect proud, and also make the Sword Cultivator proud, haha."

Jian Xuan patted Lin Bai on the shoulder as he spoke.

Lin Bai chuckled, "Alright."

Jian Xuan continued, "Go to the Miracle Ridge without worries. You don’t need to worry about the sect, even though I won’t be inside the Spirit Sword Sect, Master can find me if needed. Should anything major happen to the Spirit Sword Sect, I’ll be back."

Su Jiannan suddenly felt a bit desolate, looking in front of him at the two most prominent disciples in the history of Spirit Sword Sect.

One had to hide in the darkness, never to see the sun again.

The other had to leave Spirit Sword Sect, in search for greater power.

Su Jiannan spoke despondently, "Just go, all of you just leave. Let me, this old man, stay behind to watch over the Spirit Sword Sect, to keep the house safe, waiting for your return."

Upon hearing these words, Jian Xuan’s eyes welled up with tears.

Lin Bai also felt rather reluctant, but in the end, he resolutely bowed his fist and said, "Take care, Sect Leader."

"Take care, Master." Jian Xuan also paid his respects with a clenched fist.

Su Jiannan gave a slight nod.

Immediately, Jian Xuan left the Spirit Sword Sect that very night, heading off to Lingdong’s 700 states in search of traces of Su Zhan.

And Lin Bai, after bidding farewell to everyone including Li Qingxuan, Lijian Xing, Wang Hao, and Sun Qian the next morning, he hopped on his flying sword, heading straight for the Imperial Capital of the Shenwu Kingdom.

Before leaving, Lin Bai had to find the First Princess to say his goodbyes.

In the Shenwu Kingdom, besides his friends at Spirit Sword Sect and the First Princess, Lin Bai didn’t have anyone else.

...

Shenwu Kingdom, Imperial Capital.

Upon entering the Imperial Capital, Lin Bai headed straight for the mansion of the First Princess.

Having reached the age of eighteen, the First Princess had already left the Imperial Palace and established her own mansion.

Lin Bai swiftly walked to the entrance of Princess Chang Mansion, where two guards stopped him: "Halt, this is the mansion of the First Princess. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed!"

Lin Bai gently smiled and said, "Could you please inform her that Lin Bai has come to visit the First Princess."

"Lin... Lin Bai!"

The guards were startled upon hearing Lin Bai’s name, their faces turning pale with fear.

Immediately, the guards recognized Lin Bai.

"We pay homage to you, Sword Prince!"

"I deserve punishment for failing to recognize the Sword Prince’s identity. Please forgive me, Sword Prince."

The two guards quickly knelt down, their voices trembling with fear.

Lin Bai laughed lightly, "Stand up, since I was not recognized, no one can blame you. Is the First Princess in the mansion? Lead me to her."

"Yes, Sword Prince, come with me."

Following the guard, Lin Bai entered the Princess Chang Mansion.

In a crimson tower.

"Halt! Who allowed you to come here?"

Standing in front of the crimson tower, an arrogant young master from a rich family, looked disdainfully at the guards and Lin Bai, "Don’t you know that the First Princess has important guests today?"

A guard spoke angrily, "How dare you! Who are you to speak wildly in the First Princess’s Mansion!? I’ve never seen you among the guards of the First Princess!"

"Who could be a more precious guest than the Sword Prince in the First Princess’s Mansion!"

The guard stated coldly.

These guards were filled with respect and admiration for Lin Bai.

In the military of the Shenwu Kingdom, Lin Bai was a living war god.

Lin Bai took a closer look at the young master. He was handsome, frivolous, and full of disdain. He looked exactly like an heir from a powerful family.

What surprised Lin Bai the most was the young master’s cultivation realm, which had already reached the Human Elixir Realm!

"Human Elixir Realm!"

Lin Bai was taken aback. The young man, who looked no older than Lin Bai and was around the same age, had already broken through to the Human Elixir Realm, which was almost inconceivable.

In Lingdong’s 700 States, he definitely ranked among the monster-level geniuses.

Such a person could not have remained unknown in Lingdong’s 700 States.

The rich young master sneered, "Who is this Sword Prince? I don’t know him. Everyone here had better stay put. Even if the emperor of Shenwu Kingdom arrives, he will have to wait!"

The guard roared, "How dare you act so presumptuously in the First Princess’s Mansion! Do you have a death wish?"

He was enraged by the young master’s disrespectful words towards Lin Bai. With an angry roar, he thrust with his spear towards him.

The power of the Xuanwu Realm’s ninth level emanated from him.

Rich young master sneered, "Huh, a rugged peasant. A mere Xuanwu Realm Ninth-level dares to strike me!"

"Get lost!"

Angry, the rich young master moved. His figure blurred as he struck back forcefully at the guard.

This attack contained the full power of the Human Elixir Realm. If it were to hit the guard, the power of Human Elixir Realm was sufficient to kill the guard instantly.

Upon seeing this, Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, and he rushed forward like lightning.

His Qingge Sword was drawn immediately, and he fiercely hacked down.

The guard, terrified by the rich young master’s power, went pale. His face was fraught with terror, and a death’s shadow weighed heavily on his heart.

Just when the guard felt sure of his death under the young master’s hit.

Suddenly, a sword aura fiercely hacked down, shattering the young master’s attack.

The death’s shadow on the guard quickly dissipated. Seeing Lin Bai had saved him, the guard quickly said, "Thank you, Sword Prince, for saving my life!"

Lin Bai asked coldly, "Who are you?"

The rich young master sneered, "Interesting. Unexpectedly in this wilderness, a warrior with such exceptional sword skills could be found. I want to spar with you!"

"If you can’t even take my three techniques, you’re not worthy enough to know my name!"
