The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 850 - 848: The Five Poison Sect, What Exactly Are They Plotting!

Chapter 850: Chapter 848: The Five Poison Sect, What Exactly Are They Plotting!

Looking at Gu Yueqing standing on the flying sword, Lin Bai couldn’t understand why the flying sword seemed to like her so much!

"Let’s go, we will first return to Elixir King City to retrieve the Spirit Boat, and then head back to the Miracle Ridge."

"You still have injuries on your body, once we return and you’ve fully recovered, I will teach you how to refine the Human Emperor Elixir!"

Lin Bai said calmly.

"Mhm." Gu Yueqing obediently nodded.

Immediately, Lin Bai’s figure shifted, and he landed on the flying sword.

Since there wasn’t much space on the flying sword, as Lin Bai landed, his chest ended up pressed tightly against Gu Yueqing’s back.

What Lin Bai didn’t know was that when Gu Yueqing felt his sturdy chest, a hint of girlish shyness appeared on her face.

"Sword-controlling Skill!"

Lin Bai then manipulated the sword technique, and the speed of the flying sword increased explosively, entering Elixir King City in a flash.

Arriving next to the Spirit Boat, Lin Bai and Gu Yueqing boarded the Spirit Boat.

Since Gu Yueqing’s injuries hadn’t fully healed yet, it was Lin Bai who was controlling the Spirit Boat.

The Spirit Boat flew out of Elixir King City, and standing high in the sky, Lin Bai glanced towards the direction of the He Family, where he saw Grandpa He and He Yunfei busying themselves amidst the ruins of their home.

"The Five Poison Sect has eventually resurfaced, and it seems Lingdong and the Miracle Ridge won’t be peaceful for long."

"Holy War!"

"What exactly is the ’Holy War’ that the followers of the Five Poison Sect speak of?"

"What is the Five Poison Sect really plotting?"

Lin Bai stood on the Spirit Boat, gazing out at the majestic mountains and rivers of Lingdong, taking a deep breath.

"No matter what the Five Poison Sect is plotting, I can’t just stand by and watch, not just because of the old grudge for crippling my Third Uncle, but also because his wife and children are in the hands of the Five Poison Sect, and moreover, my father had once destroyed the Five Poison Sect."

"This blood feud, the Five Poison Sect will come for me sooner or later."

"Between me and the Five Poison Sect, there are already countless ties that cannot be cut!"

Lin Bai took a deep breath, his eyes deepening, as if he could already see the moment the Five Poison Sect would come seeking revenge.

However, before that, Lin Bai needed to make adequate preparations; otherwise, once the Five Poison Sect attacked, with his current strength, he would have no power to resist.

"What is Brother Lin thinking about?" At this moment, Gu Yueqing emerged from the rest area inside the Spirit Boat and saw Lin Bai contemplatively standing at the bow. She smiled and asked.

Hearing her voice, Lin Bai smiled and said, "Nothing much, just thinking. Now that we’ve encountered a branch of the Five Poison Sect and since they have dared to appear so brazenly in Elixir King City, it seems the idea of the Five Poison Sect rising again is unstoppable."

Gu Yueqing gently nodded and said, "If the Five Poison Sect wants to rise again, they will definitely need massive resources and many strong ones."

"And Elixir King City is the headquarters of the Lingdong Dan Dao Alliance. As long as they control Elixir King City, the Five Poison Sect will have an abundant supply of Spiritual Medicine and Spiritual Pills."

"I think the reason why the Five Poison Sect wanted to eradicate the He Family is also that the He Family was blocking their plans."

"Once the He Family is gone, then within Elixir King City, only the Zhang family will dominate."

"And the Zhang family is with the Five Poison Sect. Once the Zhang family prevails, all the Spiritual Medicine, Spiritual Pills, and Alchemists within Elixir King City will have to follow the Zhang family’s arrangements."

"Most importantly, if the He Family is gone, the Dan Dao Courtyard is very likely to establish a cooperative relationship with the Zhang family, obtaining some rare Spiritual Medicine from them."

"This would give the Five Poison Sect the opportunity to slowly consume the Dan Dao Courtyard!"

Gu Yueqing stated in a light and breezy tone.

Lin Bai laughed and said, "I didn’t expect you to have such far-sightedness to recognize the significance of Elixir King City."

Gu Yueqing gave a wry smile and said, "Is Brother Lin mocking me? I believe when the Five Poison Sect made their move against the He Family, Brother Lin had already grasped the critical connections involved, hadn’t you?"

Lin Bai smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying it.

In fact, just as Gu Yueqing had said, when the Five Poison Sect set out to destroy the He Family, Lin Bai had already surmised the subsequent chain of reactions.

As Gu Yueqing had stated, there was a direct link between Elixir King City and the Dan Dao Courtyard. Controlling Elixir King City was akin to prying open a gap leading to the Dan Dao Courtyard. If the Five Poison Sect were to make any significant moves, they could fully exploit this gap to control the Dan Dao Courtyard.

This is not good news.

Gu Yueqing said, "Actually, there are many places in Lingdong that have intricate connections with the Miracle Ridge; in fact, they are forces that the Miracle Ridge has implanted in Lingdong to keep an eye on the movements of the Five Poison Sect."

"For example, Elixir King City was established by the Dan Dao Courtyard."

"Behind Elixir King City is the Dan Dao Courtyard, pulling the strings."

"Also, the Famous Sword Manor of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty is actually backed by the Sword Art Academy!"

"The Holy Night Dynasty is Miracle Ridge’s headquarters in Lingdong. Once disciples of the Miracle Ridge descend the mountain, the first place they go is definitely the Holy Night Dynasty."

"In Lingdong, there are many forces cultivated by the Miracle Ridge, with the sole purpose of monitoring the Five Poison Sect. Once the Five Poison Sect rises again, the Miracle Ridge will be the first to know."

Gu Yueqing spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai’s eyes lit up in surprise and he exclaimed, "Famous Sword Manor is actually a force of the Miracle Ridge?"

"If what you say is true, if the Five Poison Sect wishes to reemerge under heaven, then they must completely uproot the forces the Miracle Ridge has implanted in Lingdong!"

"And their primary targets will certainly be these forces."

"No wonder the Five Poison Sect would expose their movements in a rage, just to take down Elixir King City."

Lin Bai took a deep breath, having not expected the Miracle Ridge to have implanted so many forces in Lingdong.

However, Lin Bai also realized that this might be a double-edged sword.

Although these forces could help the Miracle Ridge guard Lingdong, if the Five Poison Sect were to gain control of these powers, they could also silently infiltrate the heart of the Miracle Ridge.

But the Miracle Ridge also had a solution.

All the descendants of the leaders of the forces implanted in Lingdong, such as their sons and grandsons, are now cultivating on the Miracle Ridge.

Though it is said to be for cultivation, in reality, the Miracle Ridge intends to use these descendants to control the forces.

Otherwise, if they were tempted by the Five Poison Sect, then the Miracle Ridge would be in danger.

Of course, this method of controlling the descendants of Lingdong’s forces was carried out in secret by the Miracle Ridge and was not publicly announced.

If this matter were to be spread, what would differentiate the Miracle Ridge from the Five Poison Sect?

"For now, let’s not think too much about this. Let’s just go back and focus on cultivating on the Miracle Ridge!"

"Once my power is enhanced, no matter how strong the Five Poison Sect becomes, they will no longer be of any concern to me!"

Lin Bai made up his mind that once he returned to the Miracle Ridge, he would definitely hasten the enhancement of his cultivation!

"Devouring Sword Spirit, it’s been a long time since you’ve fed. Once we’re back on the Miracle Ridge, I will go to the Primordial World to hunt demon beasts. Then I’ll let you feed to your heart’s content!"

Lin Bai secretly smiled to himself.

"Miss Gu Yueqing, the night air is damp on deck, and you are still injured. You’d better go back to the cabin and rest."

Lin Bai said with a light smile.

Gu Yueqing replied, "Brother Lin, you don’t have to call me Miss Gu Yueqing anymore. Just call me Qing’er, that’s what everyone else calls me."

Lin Bai was taken aback, then chuckled, "Qing’er, isn’t that nickname a bit too intimate?"

Gu Yueqing asked puzzledly, "But my master has called me that since I was little."

Lin Bai explained, "Only those who are very close to you, or who have a great relationship with you, can call you that. Otherwise, it would be somewhat inappropriate for others."

"Oh, I see." Gu Yueqing nodded, her eyes flashing with understanding.
