The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2616 - 2591: Winds and Clouds Shift

Ten days afterward, Lin Bai together with Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner showed up once more at the brink of the God-Demon Sea. They produced their Spirit Boat and raced directly toward the Order Divine Court.

"The Order Divine Court has discovered a method against the Demon Sect. Curious what that approach might be?" Lan Yuxin remarked.

Lin Bai stayed poker-faced and mute.

Hu Xiner declared, "Whatever the method turns out to be, since the East Continent Academy recalled every disciple, a massive operation looms. It looks like they plan a final clash with the Demon Sect."

Lin Bai responded, "Enough baseless speculation. Let's head to the Order Divine Court and uncover the truth."

Beneath the Order Divine Mountain, countless Inner Disciples had assembled in the last few days.

Just then, the Spirit Boat bearing Lin Bai and his two allies docked below the Order Divine Mountain.

"Saint Senior Brother is back!"

"That's right, Saint Senior Brother himself!"

"Paying respects to Saint Senior Brother!"

The warriors under the Order Divine Mountain yelled in thrill while eyeing Lin Bai and Lan Yuxin atop the Spirit Boat.

Lin Bai brushed them off, vaulted from the Spirit Boat, and strode right up the Order Divine Mountain.

Arriving at the peak, Lin Bai beheld the Nine Elders still seated in cross-legged meditation on enormous stone pillars soaring around a hundred meters, surrounded by hundreds of warriors on the mountaintop.

The bulk of warriors atop Order Divine Mountain were now the backbone forces of the East Continent Academy!

Seniors from four ancient families were present!

Deans of the East Continent Academy's diverse courtyards were included!

Numerous Quasi-Holy Sons stood among them.

Lin Bai recognized Eastern Courtyard Quasi-Saint Gu Xi, Gu Xing, Shi Zhongxian, Wu He, Jian Kong, Leng Yun, Huo Fentian, Lin Yibing, Tu Ziyun, Blackstone Roland Sword Nine in the crowd.

Yet the Four Heavenly Disabled Brothers, Yin Jiuling, and their group were nowhere in sight.

West Court Quasi-Holy Sons included Kong Lianxin, Kong Mo, Zhaohai Qing.

Southern Yard Quasi-Saint: Lin Bai, Lan Yuxin, Wang Qing, Fang Yi, Chen Qing.

At the same time, Lin Bai spotted Fang Yiyun, Changsun Yun, Shu Xiang, Wu Ming, Meng Li, and more.

"Lin Bai!" Meng Li called out to him.

Lin Bai approached Fang Yiyun and the rest straightaway, cupped his fists, and greeted, "Greetings, Master Fang!"

Fang Yiyun gave Lin Bai a faint smile and replied, "With your present cultivation, you qualify as the Saint of the East Continent Academy."

Lin Bai grinned while glancing at Fang Yiyun. To his shock then, he realized Fang Yiyun had advanced to the Wending Realm!

"Master Fang, you've broken through to Wending?"

Lin Bai exclaimed in surprise.

Before Fang Yiyun replied, Meng Li blurted eagerly, "Lin Bai, you have no idea the lengths we went to support Master Fang's breakthrough. It was no easy feat!"

Fang Yiyun chuckled, "I was once stuck at Death Reversal Realm. But after unlocking my true potential and restoring my cultivation, breaking into Wending Realm came swiftly!"

"Naturally, Changsun Yun and the others' assistance made it possible!"

"Still, while I was absent from the East Continent Academy, chaos engulfed the entire East Continent."

Only then did Lin Bai grasp that upon his own return to the East Continent Academy, Changsun Yun and others had aided Fang Yiyun in achieving his cultivation breakthrough.

Lin Bai laughed heartily, "Then allow me to offer congratulations to Master Fang on your breakthrough."

Fang Yiyun gave a bitter smile, "Congratulations for what? That Chinese Bellflower confined me for countless years. You deserve the thanks—if you hadn't destroyed the Chinese Bellflower within my heart, I might still be blind to it!"

Lin Bai just smiled without adding more.

Meanwhile, Gu Daozhi, seeing Lin Bai's arrival, announced, "Good, with the Saint back, no more delays. Now, let's plan our counter against the Demon Sect!"

Lin Bai gazed up at the Nine Elders, noting their somber expressions.

Clearly, the Demon Sect's tactics had shaken the Nine Elders deeply.

Should this persist, the East Continent could truly succumb to the Demon Sect.

Right then, Eastern Courtyard Quasi-Saint Wu He pressed urgently, "Elder Gu Daozhi, you said before there's a counter to the Demon Sect. Please explain it now?"

Lin Bai shot a look at Wu He.

Wu He, Crown Prince of the Great Witch Dynasty—one of the Ten Great Dynasties—faced the fall of the others, leaving his dynasty as the last holdout.

Without a Demon Sect countermeasure soon, the Great Witch Dynasty might crumble next.

Lin Bai comprehended Wu He's desperation.

Lin Bai shifted his gaze toward Gu Daozhi as well, intensely curious about the plan the Order Divine Court had devised to counter the Demon Sect.

Gu Daozhi declared, "The method for handling the Demon Sect wasn't devised by our Order Divine Court, but by others!"

"Now that everyone has gathered, let's call them forward!"

"Li Jiuge, bring them up!"

Gu Daozhi glanced toward the base of the Order Divine Mountain and called out.

Lin Bai suddenly realized Li Jiuge wasn't standing on the Order Divine Mountain.

With Gu Daozhi's words resounding, every warrior directed their eyes to the foot of the Order Divine Mountain.

Just then, Li Jiuge, escorted by troops in shining silver-white armor, started climbing the Order Divine Mountain.

As the group steadily ascended the Order Divine Mountain, Lin Bai at last spotted beside Li Jiuge a majestic woman robed in royal attire.

This woman possessed unmatched beauty, clad in a royal robe, her features coldly solemn, eyes brimming with sovereign aura, as though she dominated all living beings!

When Lin Bai's gaze settled on her, he observed the soldiers in their silver-white battle armor and muttered, "Incorruptible Divine Iron!"

Lin Bai further noticed ahead of the soldiers a robust, mature general rigidly escorting Li Jiuge and the woman.

Shock filled Lin Bai as he blurted, "Chu Jiangliu!"

By this point, Li Jiuge and the royal-robed woman had reached the Order Divine Mountain's peak.

Lin Bai finally identified her, grinning inwardly, "Bai Xiaoxiao!"

The woman in royal robes turned out to be none other than Bai Xiaoxiao!

Bai Xiaoxiao, adorned in her royal robe, gracefully mounted the Order Divine Mountain and raised her eyes to the Nine Elders of the Order Divine Court. Her look swept across the gathering, apparently hunting for a specific individual.

The moment her gaze connected with Lin Bai's, a subtle smile bloomed on her lips.

"Wow, what a gorgeous beauty!"

"Her aura overwhelms completely, radiating such imperial presence!"

"Yes, that sovereign vibe almost drives me to kneel and pay homage."

Right now, the warriors upon the Order Divine Mountain beheld Bai Xiaoxiao with evident shock etched on their faces.

Li Jiuge guided Bai Xiaoxiao onto the Order Divine Mountain, saluted the Nine Elders, and announced, "Nine Elders, here stands the Xiao Emperor, Sovereign of Shenwu Kingdom!"

"Xiao Emperor, meet the Nine Elders of the East Continent Academy’s Order Divine Court; they command the East Continent at present."

"Furthermore, most gathered here are the top powerhouses and Quasi-Holy Sons of the East Continent Academy!"

"This is Lin Bai, Saint of the East Continent Academy!"

Li Jiuge considerately highlighted Lin Bai.

Bai Xiaoxiao regarded Lin Bai, curved her lips in a soft smile, and greeted, "Saint Lin Bai!"

Lin Bai answered, "Your Majesty Xiao Emperor!"
