The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2609 - 2584: Dynasty of Beasts! Tianxin City!

With a darkened gaze, Lin Bai stowed the Sound Transmission Token and strode out of the chamber.

The moment Lin Bai exited the room, Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner approached together toward his quarters. Noticing the grave look on his face, they inquired: "We came searching for you, Lin Bai. What troubles you? Your complexion seems off."

Lin Bai promptly questioned: "How distant is this place from the Dynasty of Beasts?"

Lan Yuxin thought briefly before replying: "The Dynasty of Beasts lies in the Thousands of Demons Area, a mid-tier domain on the East Continent. Via the Teleportation Array in Feng Ge Territory, the journey spans roughly seven days!"

A subtle shift chilled Lin Bai’s features.

"What’s the matter, Lin Bai?" Lan Yuxin probed.

"We need to rush to the Dynasty of Beasts right away," Lin Bai declared.

"Why the sudden change? Weren’t we tracking Shen Qin in Poison Dragon Forest? We still haven’t located Shen Qin— are we abandoning that?" Lan Yuxin asked with curiosity.

Lin Bai denied it with a headshake: "No need anymore. I’ve uncovered the Demon Sect’s following move. They’re bound for the Dynasty of Beasts."

"Lan Yuxin, alert the Order Divine Court at once. Inform them the Demon Sect targets the Dynasty of Beasts next!"

"You certain, Lin Bai?" Lan Yuxin exclaimed in shock.

Lin Bai affirmed with a nod: "Absolutely. We’ll talk en route. Locate the closest Teleportation Array here without delay, relay the intel to the Order Divine Court, and warn the Dynasty of Beasts’ fighters to stay alert!"

"Understood!" Lan Yuxin agreed with a nod.

"Move out!"

In no time, the trio dashed from the inn, racing to the nearest Teleportation Array and speeding off to the Dynasty of Beasts.

During transit, Lan Yuxin passed on Lin Bai’s discovery to the Order Divine Court.

The Order Divine Court confirmed they’d bolster defenses at the Dynasty of Beasts.

After seven days, Lin Bai’s group arrived in the Thousands of Demons Area!

A mid-sized realm on the East Continent, the Thousands of Demons Area boasts treacherous landscapes, sheer peaks and ravines, with scarce cities perched on lofty bluffs— a haven for forest demon beasts.

Thus, the Thousands of Demons Area earns fame as the East Continent’s prime demon beast sanctuary.

The Dynasty of Beasts’ imperial lineage even carries half-demon clan heritage.

Perched on a sheer precipice stands a city.

Right then, three figures materialized from the city’s Teleportation Array.

Emerging, the trio lifted their eyes in stunned awe.

The city reeked of acrid blood, and beyond the Teleportation Array sprawled myriad warrior cadavers alongside demon beast carcasses.

Blood pooled across the ground like rivers.

Clearly, a brutal clash had just raged here!

"What in the world?" Lan Yuxin stared in shock at the carnage.

Solemnity etched the faces of Lin Bai and Hu Xiner.

"Tianxin City—this is the nearest hub to the Dynasty of Beasts!" Lan Yuxin stated.

"Yet it’s plainly endured a savage fight recently!"

From the Teleportation Array, Lin Bai advanced a step.

Suddenly, a fierce Sword Aura slashed from the gloom toward Lin Bai’s visage, paired with a furious cry: "Demon Sect scum, face me!"

"Watch out, Lin Bai." Tension gripped Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner as they yelled warnings.

Lin Bai turned his impassive gaze to the incoming Sword Aura. Though formidable, the attacker’s power barely registered to him.

A mere stare from Lin Bai shattered the Sword Aura mid-flight, leaving him unscathed.

Once the Sword Aura burst before him, Lin Bai spotted the assailant lurking there—a scarred youth, face contorted in rage!

Lin Bai seized the youth’s sword edge and demanded icily: "You from Tianxin City’s warriors?"

Seeing Lin Bai snag his blade so effortlessly, the young warrior bellowed: "Cursed Demon Sect fiends, rot in agony!"

"Reinforcements will crush you soon."

Anger fueled the young warrior’s roar.

"We’re no Demon Sect members—we’re East Continent Academy disciples. You a Tianxin City warrior?" Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner advanced to clarify.

"What went down here?"

Lan Yuxin pressed forward with the question.

"East Continent Academy disciples?" Skepticism filled the youth’s face as he gaped at Lin Bai’s group.

Lin Bai quietly let go of the sword and drew his Identity Token from the Storage Bag to verify.

"You truly are East Continent Academy disciples!" the warrior cried with thrill.

"What occurred? Tianxin City, a key outpost by the Dynasty of Beasts—how did it crumble like this?" Lin Bai inquired.

At those words, the young warrior dropped to his knees before Lin Bai, anguish twisting his features: "East Continent Academy disciples, rescue the Thousands of Demons Area, I beg you!"

"Demon Sect monsters lack any humanity. They invaded Tianxin City, slaying all in sight, looting whatever they could. From elders to suckling babes, none survived their Demon Swords!"

"In mere three days, nearly every one of Tianxin City’s million warriors perished!"

Tears streamed as agitation overwhelmed the young warrior.

"And the Dynasty of Beasts?" Lin Bai questioned.

The young warrior shook his head: "Unclear. Since the onslaught started, I’ve lurked in Tianxin City, seldom straying. No word on the Dynasty of Beasts."

Lin Bai spun about: "Then onward—to the Dynasty of Beasts’ Imperial Palace!"

Lan Yuxin summoned the Spirit Boat, ready for departure.

"You’re ignoring Tianxin City?" the young warrior called desperately.

Atop the Spirit Boat, Lin Bai surveyed the ruined Tianxin City: "True Demon Sect forces are few—they couldn’t wipe out the whole city alone!"

"Tianxin City’s dire state stems mostly from locals masquerading as Demon Sect under the chaos!"

"Grasp that, please!"

"Depart."

Lin Bai concluded and launched the Spirit Boat toward the Dynasty of Beasts.

Lin Bai’s explanation sparked fury in the young warrior: "Impossible! So... the bulk of Tianxin City’s assailants these three days were fellow Thousands of Demons Area warriors!"

His beliefs shattered upon Lin Bai’s revelation.

These attackers he’d deemed elite Demon Sect operatives might actually be acquaintances cloaked in black robes and bamboo hats!"
