1430: Chapter 1427: Baifeng, I Killed Him Too!
In the luxurious palace of the White Snake Clan,
a man and a woman sat in high positions—it was none other than the White Emperor and Baihou Empress!
Below, standing respectfully was a man in a white robe, the Spirit Inspiration Venerable.
At that mont, Bailin entered the Great Hall with Dongfang Bai, making Lin Bai feel as if he had stepped into Yama Hall.
Bailin said, “Father, Mother, this is Dongfang Bai!”
Lin Bai looked up and saw the White Emperor and Baihou Empress, as well as the Spirit Inspiration Venerable.
The White Emperor’s face was cold, his eyes as sharp as knives, piercing Lin Bai, as if seeing right through him.
Baihou Empress, on the other hand, wore a furious expression.
Upon hearing Bailin speak, she sharply retorted, “Was it you who killed my son?
You scoundrel, you are beyond redemption!”
The White Emperor wore a cold expression.
Upon hearing Baihou’s words, Lin Bai’s face showed little change; he neither denied nor admitted, acting as unbothered as a pig facing boiling water.
Baihou coldly demanded, “Why aren’t you speaking!”
Lin Bai asked, “What would Baihou Empress have say?”
Baihou coldly questioned, “Was it you who killed my son?”
Lin Bai lightly laughed and said, “Hasn’t Baihou Empress already passed judgnt on ?
There’s nothing more to say!”
Baihou scoffed, “It seems you’ve co here today with a death wish, haven’t you!”
Lin Bai neither confird nor denied, rely giving a slight smile.
However, Lin Bai was puzzled as to how exactly the White Emperor and Baihou Empress had managed to find him.
At this mont, the Spirit Inspiration Venerable stepped forward and laughed, “I am the Spirit Inspiration Venerable.
Are you Dongfang Bai?
One of the nine genius demons of the Lingnan Continent, truly a hero erges from the youth!”
“Dongfang Bai, I sensed an extrely powerful sword cultivator’s aura on the Spirit Boat where Lord Baifeng died.
This person, in his early twenties, had already cultivated his Realm of Comprehension to the middle stage.”
“Having seen you now, your aura is exactly the sa as that on the boat.”
“If I’m not mistaken, you are the sword cultivator who killed fifteen mbers of the Eighth Level Demon Race of the Yin Saint Realm with two strikes, and then you killed Xiang Lei with another two!”
When Lin Bai entered the Great Hall, Spirit Inspiration Venerable instantly confird it was him!
It was this man!
He was the one who, with just two strikes, killed fifteen people of the Eighth Level Demon Race of the Yin Saint Realm!
It was astonishing!
Such a young age, yet his cultivation so weak, yet he killed these fifteen formidable foes with just two strikes.
If allowed to grow, what then!
Lin Bai, hearing the Spirit Inspiration Venerable speak, curiously looked at the man, and once he finished speaking, a chill gradually appeared in Lin Bai’s eyes.
Bailin was also surprised as he watched Lin Bai, awaiting his next response.
The White Emperor coldly said, “Dongfang Bai, what else have you to say?”
Lin Bai shifted his gaze from Spirit Inspiration Venerable back to the White Emperor, and smiling, he said, “Alright, I admit it, those fifteen mbers of the Eighth Level Demon Race of the Yin Saint Realm were killed by !”
“Xiang Lei was also killed by !”
“Baifeng was also killed by !”
Lin Bai said with a light smile.
Both the White Emperor and Bailin, upon hearing Lin Bai’s answer, were filled with shock.
They had thought Lin Bai would desperately defend himself, but they hadn’t expected such forthcoming admissions.
Spirit Inspiration Venerable gave a slight smile, looking at the White Emperor as if to say: See, my sensing technique was not wrong, praise already!
Baihou roared, “Ling Bai, kill him for !”
Ling Bai’s eyes turned cold, and a powerful aura emanated from him.
“Hold on!” Lin Bai spoke again.
Ling Bai said coldly, “What else do you have to say?”
Lin Bai smiled, “Lord White Emperor, Baihou Empress, if I say it was , do you truly believe it was?”
White Emperor said coldly, “What do you an?”
Lin Bai said, “Since Venerable Spirit Inspiration sensed the aura was mine, then he must be aware that there are far too many people in this world who are adept at disguising their aura.”
“Moreover, the strongest at disguising their aura must be your Demon Clan.”
“Is it not so, Lord White Emperor?
The masters of your Demon Clan often disguise themselves as the Human Clan, concealing their demonic qi and infiltrating within the Territories, don’t they?”
Lin Bai said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, White Emperor and Baihou’s eyes narrowed.
They knew that Lin Bai was correct—the world was full of techniques to disguise one’s aura, especially among assassins from certain sects whose skills in concealnt were unmatched!
Lin Bai continued, “Take Venerable Spirit Inspiration, for example.
He said the aura on the Spirit Boat was mine; does that necessarily an it was ?
Could it not be himself?”
Click!
Hearing Lin Bai’s words, Venerable Spirit Inspiration’s pupils dilated as he pointed at Lin Bai and yelled, “Nonsense!
I have always revered the White Snake Clan and wouldn’t dare to offend them lightly.
Are you seeking death by slandering like this?”
“Baihou Empress, I can now confirm that this man killed Lord Baifeng.
Please, Baihou Empress, deal with him!”
Lin Bai chuckled, “What benefit do I have from killing Baifeng?
For the Spirit Awakening Grass?
The entire Demon Clan of Hanhai knows that Spirit Awakening Grass only benefits your clan – it’s useless to the Human Clan!”
“Since Spirit Awakening Grass is of no use to , why would I risk killing Baifeng?”
“Even if I really killed Baifeng, why would I risk returning to the White Snake Clan to await death?”
“Venerable Spirit Inspiration, don’t you find this contradictory?”
Lin Bai chuckled.
Venerable Spirit Inspiration said coldly, “Because you know you can’t escape.
This is the territory of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom.
You, a Human Clan warrior, can hardly move an inch here.
Moreover, you have the White Snake Bracelet in your possession; if you dare to flee, you are undoubtedly dood!”
“Is this the bracelet you’re referring to?” Lin Bai stretched out his hand and easily took off the White Snake Bracelet from his wrist, throwing it on the ground.
White Emperor, Baihou, and Ling Bai were all stunned by the sight of the White Snake Bracelet.
Lin Bai had removed the White Snake Bracelet without triggering the Magic Circle!
White Emperor said coldly, “How is this possible?
The Magic Circle on the White Snake Bracelet is a secret of our White Snake Clan.
Without being personally undone by soone from our clan, it’s impossible to unlock!”
Lin Bai smiled, “Coincidentally, I once followed a master of Magic Circles and, although I didn’t learn much about setting them up, I did beco quite adept at breaking them!”
“Venerable Spirit Inspiration, tell , since I already had the ability to unlock the bracelet, why would I wait for death in the White Snake Clan after killing Baifeng?”
Lin Bai asked, smiling.
At that mont, doubt also appeared on the faces of White Emperor and Baihou.
Lin Bai was right.
First, Lin Bai had no motive to kill Baifeng; the most valuable thing on Baifeng was the Spirit Awakening Grass, which was useless to Lin Bai, a Human Clan warrior, so he wouldn’t risk so much!
Secondly, even if Lin Bai killed Baifeng and took the Spirit Awakening Grass, having unlocked the White Snake Bracelet, it wasn’t necessary for him to return to the White Snake Clan to await death, even if his current cultivation level prevented him from leaving the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!
These two points were vastly contradictory!
At this mont, as White Emperor looked at Venerable Spirit Inspiration, a hint of doubt and suspicion crept into his gaze!
And Lin Bai, seeing this look from White Emperor, smiled slightly in his heart: It seems Lord White Emperor also doesn’t quite trust Venerable Spirit Inspiration!
