The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2587 - 2562: Because I Come from the Mortal World!
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
"What consequences?" Gu Daozhi inquired, looking somewhat baffled.
A smile appeared on Lin Bai's face as he explained, "Countless powerhouses are flooding into the Three Great Dynasties and Three Great Regions, bound to spark conflicts or outright battles with the local clans and sects in those territories!"
"Clashes among small sects and families might be tolerable, but should tensions rise between major sects and powerful clans, disaster looms... These warriors invading the Three Great Dynasties and Three Great Regions aren't truly here to crush the Demon Sect. Their real aim is to shatter the Three Great Regions!"
"Do you get it?"
Lin Bai declared.
Upon hearing Lin Bai's sharp analysis, Gu Daozhi and Lan Ling's faces shifted dramatically, grasping the dire implications instantly!
At the same time, Hu Xiner and Lan Yuxin experienced a flash of insight, gazing at Lin Bai with eyes full of awe and respect.
With a cold tone, Gu Daozhi remarked, "Saint Lin Bai, are you suggesting that the incoming sects and families will clash with those already established in the Three Great Dynasties and Regions?"
Lin Bai chuckled, "Absolutely unavoidable!"
"These fleeing sects and families need places to settle down, don't they?"
"Many arrived with entire clans in tow, enduring exhausting journeys that drained their spiritual energy, now desperate for vast supplies of cultivation resources and precious pills!"
"They crave stable bases and abundant cultivation materials!"
"Every Elder here knows well: in this brutal Martial Arts World, cultivators will go to any lengths for those precious resources!"
"If the sects and families can't secure enough cultivation resources in the Three Great Dynasties and Three Great Regions, what then?"
"They'll plunder! They'll wage war!"
"Naturally, the resident clans and sects in the Three Great Dynasties and Three Great Regions will fight back fiercely!"
"Once battles erupt across the regions and dynasties, the Demon Sect's sinister plan succeeds!"
"The Demon Sect deliberately lures these fleeing sects and families into the Three Great Dynasties and Three Great Regions, even dispatching agents to ignite the sparks of conflict!"
"Those very sects and families will serve as the Demon Sect's vanguard weapon, ripping apart the Three Great Dynasties and Three Great Regions from within!"
"With chaos engulfing the Three Great Dynasties and Three Great Regions, the Demon Sect can conquer them effortlessly without lifting a finger!"
"That's the heart of the Demon Sect's cunning plot!"
Lin Bai shared his deduction verbatim with the Nine Elders.
The Nine Elders nodded in unison after absorbing Lin Bai's insight.
"Saint Lin Bai's reasoning rings true; this explains why the Demon Sect holds back from obliterating the Ten Great Dynasties and Nine Great Domains outright!"
"The Demon Sect craves chaos and infighting among the Three Great Regions and Three Great Dynasties!"
"What a vicious scheme!"
"Quickly send voice transmissions to all East Continent Academy disciples stationed in the Three Great Dynasties and Three Great Regions—warn them to watch the incoming families and sects closely!"
"Moreover, press the Three Great Dynasties and Three Great Regions to accommodate these refugees properly!"
"..."
Gathered in discussion, the Nine Elders swiftly devised a solid strategy based on Lin Bai's revelation.
Turning to Lin Bai, Gu Daozhi stated, "Saint Lin Bai, your intelligence is crucial for the East Continent right now; I'll handle arrangements for the Three Great Regions and Three Great Dynasties!"
Lin Bai gave a nod, replying, "Good!"
"Where to next?" Gu Daozhi probed.
"Heading to the Phoenix Song Area!" Lin Bai answered.
"The Phoenix Song Area fell recently; Demon Sect disciples are likely scavenging treasures everywhere. Stay extremely vigilant!" Gu Daozhi cautioned.
"Got it!" Lin Bai assured with a nod.
"Fine, stay connected—reach out anytime!" Gu Daozhi urged.
Lin Bai nodded once more.
Afterward, Lan Yuxin deactivated the Sound Transmission Array and turned to Lin Bai, curiosity sparking, "How did you uncover it? How did spotting those warriors in the Jianghai Region reveal the Demon Sect's true aims?"
Lin Bai let out a soft laugh, meeting Lan Yuxin's gaze, "Because I hail from the Mortal World!"
Lan Yuxin furrowed her brows at him.
With another light chuckle, Lin Bai elaborated, "I rose from the Mortal World, from the wild frontiers, from a forgotten little town!"
"You, on the other hand, were born a highborn daughter of the Lan Clan, a prized East Continent Academy disciple; of course, such truths escape you!"
"Back in my early days, my family battled rival clans over a modest Medicine Mountain for three full months; another time, for a near-worthless vein of ore, we clashed with other fighters for over half a month!"
"Survival in the Mortal World's savage wilds demands constant strife and competition!"
"You elites born with silver spoons can't fathom it—everything handed to you from birth, just cultivate when ready and climb higher!"
"How could you grasp our harsh reality?"
Lin Bai shook his head while speaking.
Stunned, Lan Yuxin stared at Lin Bai, feeling an unbridgeable gap even as she stood beside him...
Just as Lin Bai described, his roots lay in the Mortal World, amid its untamed wilderness.
Lan Yuxin, by contrast, entered life with every advantage laid out, fated to rise as a Lan Clan powerhouse!
She couldn't comprehend the grueling trials Lin Bai overcame to claim his present power!
"Time to move—to the Phoenix Song Area!"
Lin Bai piloted the Spirit Boat, swiftly departing the Jianghai Region.
Within the Jianghai Region, Lin Bai located a Teleportation Array; after multiple jumps, they neared the Phoenix Song Area's edge five days later!
Nestled among the Nine Great Domains of the East Continent, the Phoenix Song Area sprawled immensely, teeming with warrior clans and sects, birthing legions of mighty experts!
Encircling the Phoenix Song Area stood more than a dozen mid-tier regions!
Now, Lin Bai alongside Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner reached the frontier linking the Phoenix Song Area to the Tiandou Region!
The Tiandou Region, a mid-sized domain bordering the Phoenix Song Area. With the latter ravaged by the Demon Sect's onslaught, panic gripped Tiandou's warriors, spurring mass exodus lest the Demon Sect turn its gaze next!
Thus, the Phoenix Song Area's downfall triggered ripples, unsettling dozens of neighboring domains!
"Up ahead stretches the Mang Gu Jungle, straddling the Tiandou Region and Phoenix Song Area!"
"The Mang Gu Jungle was once a deadly hazard, overrun by ruthless bandits and ferocious demon beasts!"
"Yet fleeing warriors from the Phoenix Song Area trampled it into a broad escape route, wiping out all robbers and beasts inside!"
Lan Yuxin stood before the Mang Gu Jungle, stating coolly.
