The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 927 - 925: Nine Swords of Yunhai!

Chapter 927: Chapter 925: Nine Swords of Yunhai!

Dugu Yun’s voice boomed like thunder, as if it carried the authority of the heavens. Every word that reached Yuan Qing’s ears frightened him so much that his body trembled uncontrollably, and an amber liquid involuntarily flowed from beneath him.

He was so scared he peed himself!

Lin Bai gave a slight smile and sheathed his Qingge Sword.

Since Dugu Yun was here, there was no need for Lin Bai to take action himself.

"Go to the Elder Pavilion yourself to resign your position as an elder, then go to the Forbidden Area to face the wall for ten years, not allowed to leave!" Dugu Yun said coldly, "If you dare to commit such an act again in the future, beware that I might take your little life!"

"Scram!"

Dugu Yun bellowed.

When Yuan Qing heard that Dugu Yun did not intend to kill him, nor would he send him to the Enforcement Hall, he was so grateful that he burst into tears and said, "Thank you, Dean, so much, thank you."

After speaking, Yuan Qing struggled to his feet, trembling, and staggered away in a panic.

"Dean, if you hadn’t arrived in time, I would have been greatly wronged today." Lin Bai looked pitifully at Dugu Yun.

Dugu Yun glared at Lin Bai irritably and said, "Do you think you’re a good thing? Lin Bai, do you think you’re a good thing?"

"Had I not arrived, I’m afraid neither Yuan Qing nor Liu Tian would have been able to leave your house alive today, right?"

"Hmm?"

"I suppose my arrival made you feel restrained, didn’t it?"

"You wished I hadn’t come, so you could have killed Yuan Qing yourself, correct?"

Dugu Yun stared at Lin Bai and spoke harshly.

Lin Bai, realizing Dugu Yun had seen through his inner thoughts, touched his nose in embarrassment and showed a bitter smile on his face.

Just as Dugu Yun said, if Dugu Yun hadn’t come, Lin Bai would have certainly killed Yuan Qing today.

When Liu Tian came earlier, Lin Bai had already sensed Dugu Yun’s presence. Lin Bai took action decisively, without second thoughts, and executed Liu Tian straight away, without Dugu Yun intervening.

Because Lin Bai and Dugu Yun both knew that since Liu Tian was the first to take action, his death by counter-kill was his own fate, and he couldn’t blame others.

But Yuan Qing was different; he was an enabler of tyranny, and moreover, a man made use of by others. In the end, he was nothing but an insignificant pawn.

Therefore, Lin Bai was certain that Dugu Yun wouldn’t interfere with him killing Liu Tian; but if it came to killing Yuan Qing, Dugu Yun would undoubtedly intervene.

Instead of forcing Dugu Yun to show himself to save Yuan Qing, it was better for Lin Bai to call Dugu Yun out directly and let him handle the situation, thus giving Dugu Yun face in the process!

"Elder Dugu Yun, did you come here today to bring me points?" Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Hah! Did you not already know the purpose of my visit? I’m afraid you had already guessed that I would come to you tonight," Dugu Yun said with a smile as he looked at Lin Bai.

Seeing that Dugu Yun had once again seen through his thoughts, Lin Bai shrugged helplessly.

Indeed, Lin Bai had suspected that Dugu Yun was sure to come to visit him this evening.

This was also a assurance for Lin Bai tonight, so that if he could not defeat Liu Tian or Yuan Qing, with Dugu Yun hidden in the shadows, Lin Bai wouldn’t end up dead!

"Take out your identity token," Dugu Yun said indignantly.

Lin Bai smiled slyly and handed over his token.

Dugu Yun took out his own identity token, slid it across Lin Bai’s token, and immediately, 100,000 points transferred into Lin Bai’s token.

Lin Bai joyfully received the points, his face blooming with happiness upon seeing the number on the screen.

140321!

"140,000 points!"

Looking at the number, Lin Bai was overcome with excitement.

Lin Bai originally had over ten thousand points of his own, then won another ten thousand points in the Physical Spirit Arena against Liu Xuan.

In the newcomers’ assessment, Lin Bai killed Demon Beasts to earn 9,700 points and won Fang Hai’s 1,300 points, on top of the 10,000 points reward for coming in first.

Just from the newcomer assessment, Lin Bai had already obtained 21,000 points.

Here, Dugu Yun rewarded Lin Bai with an additional 100,000 points.

Lin Bai’s total wealth now amounted to 121,000 points.

To say he became rich overnight was by no means an exaggeration!

You should know that on the Miracle Ridge, the most affluent warriors of the Human Elixir Realm only amassed over 50,000 points in their lifetime; those in the Earth Elixir Realm, at most 100,000 points; and those in the Heavenly Elixir Realm, up to 200,000 points.

Now that Lin Bai had a wealth of 100,000 points, if word got out, who knows how many people would be envious.

"Oh, quite wealthy, aren’t you?" Dugu Yun glanced at the number on Lin Bai’s token with the corner of his eye and said with a smile, "Since you already have 100,000 points, remember to go comprehend the second move of the Mo Wen Sword tomorrow!"

"I was planning to go tomorrow," Lin Bai said with a smile.

The power of the Mo Wen Sword, Lin Bai had truly come to understand it now.

With just the first move possessing such formidable strength, the second move must be even more powerful.

Lin Bai’s passion for the Mo Wen Sword was growing hotter by the day.

"By the way, since you’ve provoked Murong Hai, you might want to be a bit cautious." Dugu Yun said to Lin Bai in a low voice.

"What, does even you, the esteemed Dean of the Sword Art Academy, have to be wary of this Vice Dean?" Lin Bai looked at Dugu Yun curiously, smiling slightly and jokingly said.

"I naturally wouldn’t be wary of him," Dugu Yun said with a nonchalant smile, "but perhaps you should be."

"Murong Hai has great influence within the Sword Art Academy. Do you know how he came to sit in the position of Vice Dean?"

Lin Bai shook his head. "I’m not aware of that."

Dugu Yun softly said, "Back when Murong Hai was a mid-level Elder, he had once served as the mentor for the newcomer’s Genius Group, for a full ten years!"

"During those ten years, the Sword Art Academy experienced its highest number of geniuses."

"And without exception, all these geniuses were taught by Murong Hai!"

"Among them, there are surely many whose names are well-known, like Bo Yu..."

"Murong Hai, having taught well, was directly promoted from a mid-level Elder to the position of Vice Dean through the recommendation of the Elder Pavilion."

"And as I have often traveled outside, seldom returning to the Sword Art Academy to manage its affairs, so now, most of the large and small matters within the Sword Art Academy are essentially handled by Murong Hai!"

"Moreover, during the time he has been Vice Dean, he has continued to teach some disciples with talent! And relying on the convenience of the position of Vice Dean, he has provided them with quite a few cultivation resources!"

"It’s not an exaggeration to say that at least half of the geniuses on the Sword List of the Sword Art Academy have been taught by Murong Hai, honoring him as their mentor."

"Among them, the nine most outstanding are known as the ’Nine Swords of Yunhai’."

"These nine individuals, some have already become top ten experts on the Sword List, and others are about to become top ten, with infinite potential, they are the nine most talented people in the Sword Art Academy right now."

"And in the Elder Pavilion, basically, eighty percent of the Elders look up to Murong Hai as their leader."

"To put it simply, if I did not possess the cultivation of the Flying Sky Realm, I’m afraid the position of Dean of the Sword Art Academy would have fallen into Murong Hai’s hands long ago."

"Now, you know how much power Murong Hai wields within the Sword Art Academy," Dugu Yun said to Lin Bai with a light laugh.

After hearing this, Lin Bai was also inwardly shocked.

Among the disciples, Murong Hai’s influence spread far and wide, with half the disciples on the Sword List being his pupils, many of whom had benefited from him!

In the Elder Pavilion, eighty percent of the Elders bowed down to Murong Hai.

In other words, Murong Hai has already sidelined Dugu Yun, only out of fear of Dugu Yun’s Flying Sky Realm strength; otherwise, the position of Dean of the Sword Art Academy would likely already be Murong Hai’s.

"It seems this Vice Dean is not a simple character at all," Lin Bai said with a smile.

"You are wrong, Lin Bai," Dugu Yun said with a smile. "Among the warriors who have survived on the Miracle Ridge, not one is a simple character!"
