1403: Chapter 1400: Fairy Cave Mountain!
After visiting White Battle Camp for a long ti, Lin Bai returned to his Cave Mansion.
Upon his return, Lin Bai took out the Demonic Sword and gently wiped it clean.
At that mont, Zhuo Lian and Jing Shu arrived and, seeing the Demonic Sword in Lin Bai’s hands, smiled faintly and said, “I didn’t expect that Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint and Zhu Lie both failed to snatch away this Demonic Sword?”
Lin Bai sneered and said, “Hmph, even if they had snatched it away, what could they do?
The Demonic Sword has a spirit; as long as I am not dead, it will not recognize anyone else as its master.
Even if they had obtained it, it would have been nothing more than a piece of scrap iron to them.”
“Zhu Lie looks down on the Demonic Sword, believing that after obtaining that vein of Divine Iron, he could forge other Treasure Swords that are better than the Demonic Sword!”
“Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint is even less likely to co after the Demonic Sword.
He knows well that to snatch the Demonic Sword from my hands, he’d have to wait for my death, but he clearly won’t do that, because he plans to sell for a sky-high price!”
Lin Bai said with a faint smile.
Jing Shu curiously asked, “How do you know what Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint is thinking?”
Lin Bai replied, “Do you rember, when I was in the Fighters Arena just now, how I sliced off half of Bai Feng’s face with a single sword strike?”
Jing Shu and Zhuo Lian nodded lightly and said, “Yes, at that ti Bai Feng was furious, ready to fight you to the death, but he was stopped by that man nad Bai Ling.”
Lin Bai continued, “Exactly.
If I were a Warrior that the White Snake Clan had acquired for a small price, then at the mont I sliced off Bai Feng’s face, Bai Ling would have imdiately had executed!”
“But he didn’t do that, which ans he must have paid a great price to buy from the hands of Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint.”
Lin Bai said with a light smile.
Jing Shu nodded slightly, feeling Lin Bai made sense, “That’s right, if it were who had sliced off half of Bai Feng’s face with a sword, Bai Ling would have probably ordered to be killed long ago!”
Zhuo Lian said, “Junior Brother Dongfang, you have been designated a Monster-level Genius by Tianbao Tower; across the entire Lingnan Continent, there are now only nine Genius Demons, and any power, be it Sects, Dynasties, or the Demon Clan, would want to win you over!”
“By now, the White Snake Clan probably wouldn’t let a Monstrous Genius like you die in vain, at least not until they have completely given up on winning you over.
They won’t let you die!”
Lin Bai chuckled and said, “If the White Snake Clan really has that in mind, then it’s the perfect opportunity for to cultivate and break through the Yangshen Realm, so I can leave the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!”
Jing Shu said, “But breaking through to the Yangshen Realm is extrely difficult!”
Lin Bai replied, “I have my own thods!”
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Lian’s face lit up with ecstasy as he asked, “Junior Brother Dongfang, do you really have the confidence to break through to the Yangshen Realm?”
Lin Bai smiled and said, “Quite confident, I’d say.”
Both Jing Shu and Zhuo Lian were brimming with surprise, saying, “In that case, Junior Brother Dongfang, could you possibly take us with you after you break through to the Yangshen Realm?”
Lin Bai smiled and responded, “Of course, if I truly have that strength, I will certainly take you with .”
Zhuo Lian said excitedly, “That would be great, once we return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, we must have that bastard Zhu Lie quartered by five horses, along with the Zhu Family!
The Valley of Demons!
All of these people must die!”
Lin Bai said coldly, “Settling accounts, that’s certainly sothing we’ll be doing with Zhu Lie, the Zhu Family, the Valley of Demons!”
“Let them wait!
Once we return, all these people will die!”
Lin Bai said coldly.
“We must keep this matter secret and not tell anyone; otherwise, if the news leaks, it would be troubleso.”
“Don’t be too anxious, just think of this as a trial given to us by the Sect.
Once we’ve passed the trial, when we return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, what sort of strength will we possess?”
Jing Shu and Zhuo Lian both nodded slightly.
The three conversed until late into the night before parting ways.
Lin Bai sat in his Cave Mansion and began his Cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and Lin Bai had visited White Battle Camp several tis to exchange ideas and also learned much news.
One noon that day, suddenly, a ringing of bells spread throughout the White Snake Valley!
Jing Shu and Zhuo Lian were still in Lin Bai’s Cave Mansion when they heard the bell toll.
Jing Shu said, “Senior White from the White Snake Battle Camp once ntioned that upon hearing the bell, we should gather in the White Snake Valley.
Does this an there’s a mission for us?”
Lin Bai replied, “Let’s go and find out!”
Jing Shu and Zhuo Lian nodded in unison and headed toward the White Snake Valley.
Inside the White Snake Valley was a new platform, and at that mont, Senior White stood atop it.
Disciples gradually erged from their respective caves in the surrounding cliffs and converged at this location.
Senior White said, “The White Snake Clan is cultivating a ‘Spirit Awakening Grass’, a type of Spiritual dicine within Fairy Cave Mountain.
If consud by Demon Beasts, it can awaken their Spiritual Wisdom.
This herb is extrely important for the White Snake Clan.”
“But for Warriors, this Spiritual dicine is utterly useless!”
“In recent days, the Warriors guarding Fairy Cave Mountain from the White Snake Battle Camp were suddenly killed by a group of Demon Clan Powerhouses.
The White Snake Clan needs to send soone to continue the defense of this place!”
“However, the danger there is imnse.
The Spirit Awakening Grass attracts hordes of Demon Beasts that would risk their lives for it, including formidable ones from the Eight Great Monster Clans.
Thus, mbers of the White Snake Clan are reluctant to defend that place!”
“Therefore, the task has been handed over to our White Snake Battle Camp.”
As Senior White spoke, his face grew dark.
Below stood a one-ard man who had followed Senior White for a long ti.
He asked incredulously, “Are you saying that all the Warriors at Fairy Cave Mountain have died again?
Wasn’t it just over twenty days ago that more than a hundred people went there?”
“So soon?”
The one-ard man exclaid in shock.
Many of the veterans from the White Snake Battle Camp frowned upon hearing the na ‘Fairy Cave Mountain.’
Senior White shook his head, resigned, and said, “Now, who wants to go to Fairy Cave Mountain, co forward to enlist.
We need a hundred Warriors.
If a hundred have not signed up within two hours, then I will personally call out nas!”
“Let’s begin now.”
Senior White said with a sense of helplessness.
Lin Bai’s expression darkened as he muttered to himself, “Guarding Fairy Cave Mountain, protecting the Spirit Awakening Grass, which will attract a massive number of Demon Beasts, including the powerhouses from the Eight Great Monster Clans… this is actually a good opportunity!”
At this mont, Jing Shu said, “Junior Brother Dongfang, Senior Brother Zhuo, listening to Senior White’s tone, Fairy Cave Mountain doesn’t seem like a benign place.”
Zhuo Lian gravely nodded and responded, “Yes, look at those veterans from the White Snake Battle Camp.
Their faces turn pale at the ntion of Fairy Cave Mountain.
It must be very dangerous indeed!”
Lin Bai gave a slight nod and declared, “I am going to Fairy Cave Mountain.”
Both Zhuo Lian and Jing Shu showed faces of horror, asking, “Junior Brother Dongfang, Fairy Cave Mountain is so dangerous, why would you go there?”
Lin Bai shook his head and reassured, “It’s better than sitting around here.
Don’t worry, nothing will happen to .”
Zhuo Lian and Jing Shu exchanged a glance, their expressions uneasy.
Jing Shu said, “Junior Brother Dongfang, I will accompany you!”
Lin Bai looked at Jing Shu in surprise.
Jing Shu continued, “You promised that day, as long as your strength was sufficient, you would take with you when you leave the Hanhai Demon Kingdom.
I cannot let anything happen to you now; I will stay by your side!”
Zhuo Lian bit the bullet and said, “Well, coming to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom is already a Nine Deaths One Life situation.
Junior Brother Dongfang, I’ll also accompany you.
However, if there truly cos a day when your Cultivation breaks through to the Yangshen and you prepare to leave the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, I hope, Senior Brother, you will rember the companionship and protection I have offered you along the way…”
Lin Bai replied, “Senior Sister Jing Shu, Senior Brother Zhuo Lian, rest assured, if a day cos when I indeed plan to leave the Hanhai Demon Kingdom, I will certainly take you both with !”
Although Zhuo Lian and Jing Shu beca disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect much earlier than Lin Bai, both of their talents and Cultivations were considered very low among the Inner Disciples.
For them to rely on their own abilities to break through to the Yangshen Realm might take a Hundred Year Period, perhaps even longer!
But Lin Bai was different.
Recognized as a Monstrous Genius by Tianbao Tower, the owner of the Demonic Sword, and the potential of his Quasi-Divine Martial Soul, Zhuo Lian and Jing Shu both believed that Lin Bai could breakthrough to Yangshen in a short span of ti.
This short period could be tomorrow, a year from now, or ten years, but it was certainly much faster than either of them could manage!
