The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2652 - 2627: Imprisoned Dragon Abyss
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
Arriving at Mo Qing’s residence, Mo Qing somewhat dazedly opened the door and saw Lin Bai standing at the entrance. He immediately smiled and said, "Lin Bai, you’ve come!"
Lin Bai laughed and said, "Why do you look like you haven’t woken up yet?"
Mo Qing smiled wryly and said, "These past few days, I’ve been invited every day to the Great Witch Dynasty’s celebration banquets. It wouldn’t be good not to go, and once I go, they keep pushing me to drink and I’ve had quite a lot!"
Lin Bai nodded with a smile and said, "I see!"
"Lin Bai, come in and have a seat!" Mo Qing invited Lin Bai inside and then laughed, "The world has truly changed, some even dare to drink with disciples of the Poison God Clan these days."
Lin Bai entered the room and, after sitting down, jokingly asked, "What do you mean by that? Do the disciples of the Poison God Clan have a high alcohol tolerance?"
Mo Qing shook his head and said, "It’s not about tolerance; it’s about being good with poisons!"
"Lin Bai, you might not know this, but back in the days on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, the Poison God Clan excelled in poison usage. Quite a few warriors were assassinated with poison by the Poison God Clan during banquets!"
"Ever since those times, warriors under heaven have been avoiding the Poison God Clan, fearing that their disciples might poison their drinks..."
Mo Qing shook his head and said.
Lin Bai let out a wry smile, "Mo Qing, I’m here to thank you. Thanks for coming all the way from the Southern Continent. If not for that, it would have been difficult for us to defeat Zhao Yue’s poisons!"
Mo Qing nodded and said, "Zhao Yue and I are both third generation disciples of the Poison God Clan. If anyone under heaven could counter Zhao Yue’s poisons, it would have to be me!"
"However, Lin Bai, as Senior Gu Dao once said, Zhao Yue’s Divine Soul has now merged with Ye Suxin’s Divine Soul, and separating those two souls now..."
"It’s extremely difficult!"
"Basically, no one on the Barbaric Ancient Continent can do it!"
Mo Qing looked at Lin Bai and said.
Lin Bai said, "I still have six months; I will work hard to find a solution."
Mo Qing nodded, "I know Ye Suxin is very important to you. So, Lin Bai, I won’t attend the upcoming celebration banquets in the East Continent!"
"I will set off immediately to return to the Southern Continent and see if I can find some methods in the ancient books of the Poison God Clan!"
"If I find any, I will notify you right away!"
Mo Qing said sincerely.
Hearing this, Lin Bai was deeply moved and clasped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Mo Qing!"
Mo Qing laughed and said, "No need to thank me, Lin Bai!"
Lin Bai felt incredibly touched. When he first met Mo Qing, it was in Lingxi City. At that time, Lin Bai asked Mo Qing to detoxify his third uncle, Lin Yue. That was the first time Lin Bai met Mo Qing.
And along the way, whether it was in Lingnan when Lin Bai was poisoned, Mo Qing came to the rescue.
Or now, when Bai Xiaoxiao sent a transmission, Mo Qing came from 10,000 miles away in the Southern Continent.
This friendship, Lin Bai will forever remember in his heart!
Lin Bai said, "If ever you are in trouble, just send me a message, even at the ends of the earth, and I will come to help you!"
Mo Qing nodded with a smile, "Alright then, Lin Bai, I’ll pack up and prepare to return to the Southern Continent!"
Lin Bai nodded slightly.
That afternoon, Lin Bai saw Mo Qing off from the Jianghai Region!
After escorting Mo Qing out of the Jianghai Region, Lin Bai did not return to the Imperial Palace of the Great Witch Dynasty.
Instead, he headed in a different direction.
Beside the Imperial Palace of the Great Witch Dynasty, there was a continuous mountain range.
And at the very heart of this mountain range, there was an abyssal canyon!
This place was the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss!
Lin Bai quickly landed above the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss, looking down, and saw nine strong ones sitting cross-legged.
Seeing Lin Bai arrive, these nine people all glanced at Lin Bai.
But only one man came up to the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss, looking at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai clasped his hands and said, "Senior Lan Yuanqing, sorry to trouble you."
These nine were precisely the strong ones from the East Continent selected to guard the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss.
They were Gutian Xuan, Gu Lianxing, Lan Yuanshan, Lan Yuanqing, Chen Xinghe, Kong Wu, Zhang Xifeng, Shi Ziliang, along with the strong ones from the Sword Domain, Soul-breaking Area, and the Jiang Clan.
Without exception, they were all strong ones at the Great Perfection of the Wending Realm!
Lan Yuanqing laughed and said, "No worries, it’s only six months, which for us is just a nap!"
"But you, you have dared to provoke all the warriors from the East Continent to adamantly protect this woman. Do you realize you have committed a grave offense?"
"These past few days, ever since Gu Daozhi returned to the Order Divine Court, he has convened the Nine Elders, and they are attempting to depose you from your Saint position. It is only due to Lord Lan Ling's steadfast refusal that a stalemate exists!"
Lin Bai stated, "The position of Saint, let it be dissolved if it must. I hold no regard for it whatsoever!"
"Senior Lan Yuanshan, it appears..."
Lan Yuanqing let out a laugh and advised, "Pay him no mind; he always carries himself as if he’s near death, and you shall eventually grow accustomed to it!"
"So, have you devised a method to release the Divine Soul?"
Lin Bai shook his head, replying, "No."
Lan Yuanqing explained, "Your situation has already been reported to Lord Lan Ling, and he has commenced a thorough search within the East Continent Academy. Even Lord Lan Ling has secretly visited the Gujin Tower, yet he too could not find a resolution!"
Lin Bai expressed his surprise, "Lord Lan Ling secretly journeyed to the Gujin Tower?"
Lan Yuanqing chuckled, "Haha, there is no need for you to concern yourself with such details; it is hardly his inaugural visit there!"
Lin Bai gave a slight nod, "Very well, may I have permission to descend into the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss and investigate?"
Lan Yuanqing cautioned, "Any warrior who enters the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss will have their spiritual power completely sealed, rendering them mortal. Thus, we do not dare to venture in lightly, and can only maintain watch from the exterior!"
"If you intend to enter the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss, you must exercise the utmost caution!"
"Zhao Yue, though currently stripped of her cultivation beneath the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss, she undoubtedly remains a formidable figure of the Poison God Clan, possessing methods that are far beyond ordinary comprehension. Be exceedingly vigilant!"
Lin Bai nodded, acknowledging, "I understand!"
Lan Yuanqing gave a nod of affirmation and said, "Proceed with your descent if you wish; should any peril arise, summon me immediately, and I shall descend to your aid!"
"Thank you, Senior!"
Lin Bai offered a respectful bow before plunging into the depths of the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss!
Below the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss, an oppressive darkness pervaded, devoid of any light!
Lin Bai swiftly reached the abyss floor, where the surroundings were illuminated by ancient stone lamps.
Following the path marked by these stone lamps, Lin Bai soon discerned a mountain cave situated ahead.
Upon entering the cave, Lin Bai discovered a woman with silver hair already observing him with an inquisitive gaze.
"Lin Bai!"
The white-haired woman greeted him with a smile.
Lin Bai drew a deep breath, his gaze fixed upon the face that was both familiar and now strangely distant, his heart overcome with a flood of emotions.
"Five Poisons Holy Master, Zhao Yue!" Lin Bai softly uttered her name.
The white-haired woman chuckled, "I never imagined that after ten millennia, my name would still be remembered by someone!"
