The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2615 - 2590: The East Continent Academy’s Stance

Prior to his departure for the Dynasty of Beasts, Lin Bai had dispatched a message to the Order Divine Court, revealing the Demon Sect's impending actions.

Lin Bai then raced toward the Dynasty of Beasts, only to find it transformed into barren wasteland in a matter of days!

A mighty power among the Ten Great Dynasties of the East Continent crumbled in mere days; Lin Bai could scarcely credit it without beholding the ruin himself.

Leng Qianxue gazed upon Lin Bai and stated, "After you transmitted the message to the Order Divine Court, we truly obtained it from them, and our preparations were intensely thorough!"

"Yet we never anticipated..."

Leng Qianxue's expression darkened as she continued.

Lin Bai inquired, "Exactly what transpired? With prior preparations in place, how did the Dynasty of Beasts fall so swiftly?"

Both Chen Qing and Leng Qianxue wore solemn expressions and stayed quiet.

Hua Muqing appeared deeply mournful as well.

Lan Yuxin questioned, "What's happening? Why the silence?"

"Allow me to clarify." Zhang Xianqi interjected right then.

Lan Yuxin alongside Lin Bai shifted their attention to Zhang Xianqi.

Zhang Xianqi regarded Lin Bai and explained, "Saint Senior Brother, preparations were made, yet we gravely underestimated the threat!"

Lin Bai creased his brow while eyeing Zhang Xianqi.

Zhang Xianqi continued, "Before the Demon Sect even fully arrived, without a glimpse of the Demon Sect Master, the Dynasty of Beasts' Imperial Palace had already been overrun."

Lin Bai cried out in shock, "What? The Demon Sect Master never showed, and still the Imperial Palace fell?"

Zhang Xianqi affirmed, "Indeed, as the Demon Sect neared, numerous elite corps from within the Dynasty of Beasts betrayed their posts one by one, launching a ferocious assault on the defenders inside the Imperial Palace!"

"The warriors fought desperately against the onslaught, defying death itself!"

"Countless others, desperate for survival, donned black garments, robes, and bamboo hats from their storage, swelling the Demon Sect's ranks to butcher foes within the Imperial Palace!"

"Thus, the Dynasty of Beasts collapsed in those fleeting days!"

Lin Bai's knitted brows refused to ease upon hearing this!

Leng Qianxue added now, "I personally witnessed several East Continent Academy disciples, confronted by death, pull black attire and robes from their storage bags before vanishing amid the Demon Sect's forces!"

Chen Qing declared, "Saint Lin Bai, you might not realize, but nowadays in Golden Tree City, virtually every warrior carries black garments and robes in their storage. The instant the Demon Sect breaches Golden Tree City!"

"They'll don those black outfits immediately, turning into our foes!"

The faces of Chen Qing and Hua Muqing brimmed with icy resolve.

Zhang Xianqi let out a soft sigh, "Saint Senior Brother, we geared up for combat, unaware our true adversaries lurked among us!"

"Visible foes prove easy to counter, but hidden strikes prove impossible to evade!"

Zhang Xianqi spoke with deep sincerity.

Lin Bai gave a faint nod, "I understand you've given your utmost."

Zhang Xianqi and Chen Qing offered only bitter shakes of their heads.

Lin Bai chuckled, "What's this? Feeling utterly defeated?"

Chen Qing managed a wry smile.

Zhang Xianqi wore a bitter grin too.

Yet Hua Muqing and Leng Qianxue struggled to mask their profound dejection!

Lin Bai chuckled lightly, "You Quasi Saints from East Continent Academy, pinnacles of the East Continent, former peerless Tianjiao who dominated the skies. Who imagined you'd face such dire straits!"

"Still, it's beneficial—a harsh lesson learned."

Lin Bai remarked smilingly.

Leng Qianxue responded, "Lessons can wait, Saint Senior Brother. What now? Dynasty of Beasts is lost—do we reinforce the next Territory?"

Lin Bai shook his head, replying, "I haven't a clue myself; the Demon Sect's schemes strike at the heart, rendering defenses futile!"

"I suspect the East Continent Academy grapples with equal turmoil!"

True to Lin Bai's words, the Nine Elders of the Order Divine Court hadn't smiled in months amid the East Continent crisis!

Zhang Xianqi murmured softly, "Worst of all, the Demon Sect's influence seeps everywhere; erecting any barrier grows ever harder. Should this persist, the East Continent will inevitably fall under Demon Sect control!"

Chen Qing turned to Lin Bai, inquiring, "Saint Senior Brother, our next step? Simply linger here?"

Lin Bai shook his head once more, "Seems waiting is our sole option for now."

Suddenly, Lan Yuxin’s Sound Transmission Token chimed.

Lan Yuxin retrieved the Sound Transmission Token and inquired, "Father, what’s happened?"

The voice of Lan Ling echoed from the Sound Transmission Token, capturing the focus of every warrior inside the Great Hall.

Gazes from Lin Bai, Zhang Xianqi, Hua Muqing, and the rest shifted toward Lan Yuxin.

"Lan Yuxin, where are you and Lin Bai at this moment?" Lan Ling questioned.

"We’re in Golden Tree City, having linked up with the East Continent Academy warriors," Lan Yuxin replied.

"You and Lin Bai, together with the other East Continent Academy warriors, must head back right away using the Teleportation Array in Golden Tree City to the East Continent Academy!" Lan Ling commanded.

"Has something gone wrong at the East Continent Academy?" Lan Yuxin cried out in shock.

"No, a method to counter the Demon Sect has been discovered. All East Continent Academy warriors need to assemble and return immediately!" Lan Ling explained.

Lan Yuxin glanced over at Lin Bai.

"We’ll head back without delay!" Lin Bai declared.

To Lan Ling, Lan Yuxin responded, "Got it, we’re returning to the East Continent Academy straight away!"

Having spoken those words, Lan Yuxin stored the Sound Transmission Token away.

"At last, a solution against the Demon Sect appears!" Zhang Xianqi exclaimed with thrill.

"It seems the Order Divine Court is stepping in," Chen Qing added, grinning.

Right then, Zhang Xianqi and Leng Qianxue drew their Identity Tokens from storage bags, each bearing a message from Gu Daozhi!

"Command every East Continent Academy disciple—Inner Disciples, Outer Sect Disciples, or Registered Disciples—to rush back to the East Continent Academy at once!"

Having gotten this directive, Zhang Xianqi and the others turned their eyes to Lin Bai.

"With the order reaching us all, let’s move. How many East Continent Academy warriors remain in Golden Tree City currently?" Lin Bai asked.

"Around a hundred thousand Inner Gate Disciples, roughly five hundred thousand Outer Sect Disciples, though Registered Disciples are yet to be tallied," Zhang Xianqi reported.

"Please issue your orders, Saint Senior Brother."

Zhang Xianqi urged.

Chen Qing and Leng Qianxue fixed their gazes on Lin Bai as well.

"Fine, Lan Yuxin and I will go back to the East Continent Academy first. Organize the East Continent Academy disciples in Golden Tree City and the Dynasty of Beasts to return to the East Continent Academy!" Lin Bai instructed.

"Understood! Saint Senior Brother!"

"Yes! Saint Senior Brother!"

Zhang Xianqi and Chen Qing affirmed with nods.

Lin Bai then spun around, rushing toward Golden Tree City’s Teleportation Array to swiftly return to the East Continent Academy.

No sooner had Lin Bai and the others departed than Zhang Xianqi started coordinating the massive group of East Continent Academy disciples to begin their journey back to the East Continent Academy!
