Chapter 920: Chapter 918: You’re Crying? Why? (5 Updates)

Lin Baoyu and Xue Qing both stood atop the Spirit Boat, their Eyes filled with shock as they looked toward the tragic scene within New Qingshan.

Tragic!

Too tragic!

Corpses everywhere, blood everywhere!

The bodies of Demon Beasts and Warriors were intertwined, countless severed arms and legs, a sight of flesh and blood flying everywhere...

And among the disciples of the Sword Art Academy, originally more than five thousand had entered New Qingshan, but after this fierce battle, less than five hundred of the Sword Art Academy’s disciples had survived!

Among these fallen Sword Art Academy disciples, there were actually a few from the Genius Group that Lin Baoyu had especially valued. Their deaths enraged Lin Baoyu deeply.

Immediately, Lin Baoyu and Xue Qing exterminated more than ten thousand Demon Beasts surrounding New Qingshan in a quarter of an hour, leaving not one alive!

"Elder Lin Baoyu has come, thank goodness, we are saved!"

"Whimper... Elder Lin Baoyu, my brother died, killed by a Demon Beast!"

"Elder, so many of our disciples are dead!"

Disciples from the Sword Art Academy huddled around Lin Baoyu, sobbing and speaking.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Lin Baoyu looked at the surrounding Sword Art Academy disciples and said, "Alright, tally up the surviving disciples and immediately board the Spirit Boat, let’s head back to the Sword Art Academy first."

"Go check inside Sky-breaking Cliff, see if there are any disciples still alive!"

Soon, all the disciples from the Sword Art Academy couldn’t wait to board the Spirit Boat, eager to leave this place.

Simultaneously, Ye Jian Qiu carried Jian Ruohan onto the Spirit Boat.

At this moment, Jian Ruohan had also awoken.

"Don’t worry, the Great Wall Defense Army has arrived, we are saved," Ye Jian Qiu told Jian Ruohan softly.

"Oh," Jian Ruohan suddenly realized, looking around and seeing each of the Sword Art Academy disciples wearing smiles of having survived a great disaster.

Suddenly.

Jian Ruohan surveyed the Crowd in all directions, his expression becoming instantly solemn, and he asked Ye Jian Qiu, "Where’s Lin Bai?"

"Lin Bai? Isn’t he here?" It was only then that Ye Jian Qiu stood up to look, indeed, among the survivors he couldn’t find any trace of Lin Bai.

Yejian Qiu said, "Just now he told us to go first, he stayed behind to cover our retreat. He should be in Sky-breaking Cliff now, and since he has not shown up yet, it seems things are more likely grim than not!"

"No, no, he can’t be dead! I must find him!" Jian Ruohan stood up from the ground, ready to leave the Spirit Boat.

The surrounding Sword Art Academy disciples started shouting, "Jian Ruohan, what are you doing! The Spirit Boat is about to return, why are you going down?!"

"Come back quickly, let’s leave this damned place together, I don’t ever want to come here again!"

"Mad, this place is a nightmare for me!"

Many Sword Art Academy disciples looked at the great mountain of New Qingshan with eyes full of resentment, inwardly swearing never to return.

Lin Baoyu looked at Jian Ruohan and yelled, "Ruohan, what are you doing? The Spirit Boat is about to head back, you’re all injured, stop running around!"

"Elder, I want to go down and find Lin Bai!" Jian Ruohan told Lin Baoyu.

"Lin Bai?" Lin Baoyu was taken aback.

"He just blocked a major enemy for us, giving us the opportunity to escape, he should still be in Sky-breaking Cliff now..." Jian Ruohan looked at Lin Baoyu with a pleading gaze, hoping Lin Baoyu would let him go down!

"Lin Bai? That waste from the Low-Level Group?"

"Hmph, the Demon Clan Powerhouse earlier was so powerful, and he hasn’t come out yet, he’s probably already dead!"

"Stop wasting time, let’s go."

Many Sword Art Academy disciples started to call out insistently.

Lin Baoyu turned back to look at New Qingshan and said indifferently, "I’ve already ordered the disciples to search once. We found no one else alive inside New Qingshan, he must have..."

"It won’t happen, Elder, give me some time, I will definitely find him!" Jian Ruohan, hearing Lin Baoyu say this, immediately had mist in his eyes and looked at Lin Baoyu with a pleading gaze.

Seeing Jian Ruohan’s tearful eyes, Lin Baoyu’s heart softened on the spot, and he sighed lightly, "Alright, I’ll give you a quarter hour. All other disciples, search through New Green Mountain again to see if there are any other survivors!"

"Thank you, Elder!" Jian Ruohan, upon hearing this, hastened off the Spirit Boat and dashed into New Green Mountain.

Yejian Qiu followed him.

"If you want to go, then go! I sure as hell won’t!"

"Me neither, I definitely won’t go. If I’m going to die, I’d rather die on this Spirit Boat!"

"In your dreams, I’m not coming to New Green Mountain for the rest of my life."

Many of the Sword Art Academy disciples cursed one after another.

But still, some disciples disembarked from the Spirit Boat, looking for survivors in New Green Mountain.

"Lin Bai!"

"Lin Bai!"

As Jian Ruohan charged into Sky-breaking Cliff, he began to shout loud.

A few moments later.

Neither Jian Ruohan nor Yejian Qiu had found anything.

"Ruohan, we’ve searched New Green Mountain again, it seems that Lin Bai really did perish at the hands of Long Lie..." Yejian Qiu came over to Jian Ruohan’s side and spoke softly.

Yejian Qiu naturally knew how powerful Long Lie was, even for himself; despite pulling every trick, he felt he wouldn’t have survived under Long Lie’s grasp.

Therefore, when Yejian Qiu didn’t find any trace of Lin Bai on the Spirit Boat earlier, he had already concluded in his heart that Lin Bai was dead.

"It can’t be!" Jian Ruohan stubbornly said.

Her eyes searching around, Jian Ruohan looked in all directions.

New Green Mountain was a mess, the stench of blood was overwhelming, nauseating!

"Lin Bai, where are you?"

Jian Ruohan whispered in her heart.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, Jian Ruohan’s gaze turned towards a crevice nearby.

This crevice, obscured by a huge rock, was out of sight to many.

But Jian Ruohan felt a familiar presence there!

Jian Ruohan walked over and cleaved down with her sword, shattering the giant rock!

As the rock fragments scattered, Jian Ruohan saw that within the crevice, there lay a man with a weak breath, a pale face without a hint of color, hanging on to half a life; beneath him, his blood had already formed a small river!

"Lin Bai!"

Jian Ruohan cried out in surprise, her figure flashed, and she appeared in front of the crevice, spiritual power circulating, carefully pulling Lin Bai out from the crevice.

Jian Ruohan examined Lin Bai’s injuries; though they were severe, he still clung to a thread of life!

"He’s not dead! He actually survived Long Lie’s hands, but where is Long Lie?" Yejian Qiu, seeing that Lin Bai was still alive, was also dumbfounded, his pupils dilating in shock!

Lin Bai leaned weakly against Jian Ruohan, now unable to muster the slightest bit of strength in his body.

"Are you crying? Why?" Lin Bai, resting on Jian Ruohan’s shoulder and seeing two red trails of tears on her snowy cheeks, asked weakly.

"It’s the wind," Jian Ruohan replied casually. "Come on, I’ll take you back!"

Jian Ruohan immediately picked up Lin Bai and headed towards the Spirit Boat!
