The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2599 - 2574: Poison Dragon Forest!

In the underground palace, the Feng Family Seventh Ancestor gazed at the scroll featuring a white snake alongside a mesmerizing beauty, his eyes filled with deep gravity.

Next to the scroll lay an inscription: "Poison God Clan, rebel Zhao Yue, violated clan rules, committed a grave mistake, fled the family. Now orders are given to all Barbarian Ancient cultivators to join forces and hunt her down without mercy, by both Heaven and Man!"

The Feng Family Seventh Ancestor stared silently at the scroll for a prolonged moment, then retrieved an ancient tome from his storage bag, filled with records of numerous events, mostly from over ten thousand years ago.

His eyes scanned the ancient book's words: "Ten thousand years ago in that war, the East Continent split into Nine Domains and Ten Kings, and today, whether the disaster of the Nine Domains and Ten Kings is related to the events of that time?"

"Now, the Longteng Dynasty, Dayan Dynasty, Xuan Ying Dynasty, Flaming Dragon Dynasty, Qingyu Dynasty, Divine Sky Dynasty, True Martial Dynasty, all have been annihilated, with the royal families slaughtered to extinction!"

"East Mountain Area, Blade Area, Tianbei Region, Pill Cauldron Region, Divine Dragon Domain, Phoenix Song Area, have all been eradicated one after another, especially the clans within them, which have been slaughtered entirely. This is definitely not a normal war!"

"Underneath this war, there must be something else hidden!"

A calm look crossed the Feng Family Seventh Ancestor's face as he solemnly declared while eyeing the ancient book.

...

After leaving the Feng Family, Lin Bai, Lan Yuxin, and Hu Xiner pressed onward without delay.

"Lin Bai, where to next?" Lan Yuxin drew close to Lin Bai and inquired.

Lin Bai replied, "Since the Feng Family Seventh Ancestor said only the Poison Dragon Mountain Range can shelter people, let’s head there and investigate!"

Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner nodded faintly in agreement.

The trio sped directly toward the Poison Dragon Mountain Range.

"What is the Demon Sect truly plotting?"

This question lingered relentlessly in Lin Bai’s thoughts.

Lin Bai still couldn’t unravel the Demon Sect’s grand scheme behind the massive upheaval across the East Continent!

As the group raced toward the Poison Dragon Mountain Range, a message pinged on Lan Yuxin’s Sound Transmission Compass. Her face chilled instantly upon reading it.

Noticing Lan Yuxin’s grim look, Lin Bai and Hu Xiner asked curiously, "What’s wrong?"

"My father just sent word—the Demon Sect Master himself has led hundreds of Wending Realm experts straight to the Li Dynasty..." Lan Yuxin revealed.

"The Li Dynasty is wiped out, nearly every royal family member butchered, none left alive!"

"After the

fall of the Li Dynasty, the Demon Sect Master vanished once more."

Lin Bai shook his head, declaring, "The Demon Sect is ramping up its efforts. We must move faster! Locate Shen Qin quickly and uncover the Demon Sect Master’s true plans from him!"

The three surged toward the Poison Dragon Forest.

Nestled in the Phoenix Song Area, the Poison Dragon Forest sprawls as an enormous woodland cloaked in perpetual miasma, teeming with venomous serpents and savage beasts, rarely visited by anyone. Most warriors shy away from venturing inside lightly.

"Here lies the Poison Dragon Forest."

The trio reached the edge of the Poison Dragon Forest, their faces etched with seriousness as they beheld the swirling miasma, awe dawning on their features like never before.

"We won’t plunge into the Poison Dragon Forest yet—let’s find a spot to rest first."

Rather than charging ahead, Lin Bai led Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner to a nearby small town bordering the Poison Dragon Forest, where they booked rooms at an inn.

This tiny town boasts scant size, its inhabitants wielding modest cultivation bases, overlooked by Demon Sect disciples, keeping it mostly tranquil.

Once settled in the inn, Lin Bai secluded himself in his chamber.

Suddenly, his form blurred, and an identical copy of Lin Bai materialized behind him.

Lin Bai pulled a black garb, robe, and bamboo hat from his storage bag, tossing them to the duplicate with a frosty expression. "Go scout the Poison Dragon Forest depths—search for Shen Qin!"

"Report back the instant you spot him!"

This duplicate was none other than Lin Bai’s clone.

The Demon Body slipped into the black attire, robe, and hat from Lin Bai, then morphed into a streak of azure mist, slipping soundlessly into the Poison Dragon Forest.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai stayed put in the town, awaiting updates from the Demon Body!

...

Deep within the Poison Dragon Forest, throngs of the Demon Sect’s elite martial artists had converged!

In a shadowy, moisture-laden cavern, the Heavenly Dog True Person bellowed in fury, "Damn it! Damn it! Who’d have thought the Feng Family Seventh Ancestor wielded such terrifying power!"

"I couldn’t stand against him!"

Were Lin Bai present, shock would grip him, for the cave housed at least hundreds of warriors, predominantly at Death Reversal Realm and Wending Realm.

The mightiest among them was undoubtedly the Heavenly Dog True Person.

Naturally, the gravely wounded Shen Qin lurked there too.

Having roused from recovery, Shen Qin’s face darkened as he uttered coldly, "I never imagined the Saint of the East Continent Academy had already reached the Phoenix Song Area. I figured he’d reinforce other realms and dynasties!"

"Senior Heavenly Dog, is there truly no counter for the Feng Family Seventh Ancestor?"

Shen Qin probed with curiosity.

The Heavenly Dog True Person answered with icy chill, "The Feng Family Seventh Ancestor ranks as the eldest surviving Great Perfection Wending Realm powerhouse in the Phoenix Song Area, hailing from seven or eight centuries past!"

"I believed he’d perished long ago, yet this ancient fossil endures!"

"His strength overwhelms, bolstered by the Feng Family’s supreme art, ’Wind God Taoist Scripture’. He outmatches me completely!"

Shen Qin responded coldly, "Then trouble looms for you, Senior Heavenly Dog—the Life and Death Talisman triggers in half a month. Fail to seize the Feng Family by then, and you’ll suffer agony beyond death!"

A frigid stare pierced Shen Qin from the Heavenly Dog True Person, murder glinting icily in his gaze.

"Fear not," the Heavenly Dog True Person snapped coldly, "In half a month, I’ll claim the Feng Family for the Sect Master. Envoy Shen Qin, please hold off reporting our delays to him for now!"

Shen Qin nodded, affirming, "Naturally!"

"Senior Heavenly Dog, can you truly take the Feng Family in half a month? Any plan ready?"

A grave look settled on the Heavenly Dog True Person’s face as he shook his head. "That’s beyond your concern—I have my methods!"

"Remain here in the Poison Dragon Forest, focus on healing. I’ll be away briefly; when I return, the Feng Family will fall utterly!"

With that, the Heavenly Dog True Person whirled and exited the cavern.

Shen Qin eyed the surrounding Wending Realm powerhouses. "Stay alert in the area, and dispatch scouts to probe the Phoenix Song Area’s status. I demand updates on the Feng Family’s next actions!"

"Yes, Envoy." These Wending Realm experts showed utter deference to Shen Qin.

At his command, they promptly departed!

Only Shen Qin lingered in the dim cavern.

Now, a chill mask descended on Shen Qin’s features as he murmured, "Heavenly Dog True Person, just where are you heading off to for these few days?"

With those words, Shen Qin too vanished from the cavern!
