The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2653 - 2628: Sword God Family! Water Mirror Sword! (5 Updates)

Lin Bai stood before Zhao Yue, his gaze fixed upon her in silence.

"Everything that transpired is my fault; I will find a way to atone for it!" Lin Bai spoke softly.

Zhao Yue let out a chuckle. "Lin Bai, do you know? When my Divine Soul merged with Ye Suxin's Divine Soul, I witnessed all of her memories!"

"Indeed, this is your fault!"

Zhao Yue stated with a smile.

Lin Bai lowered his head, a sense of helplessness washing over him.

Zhao Yue continued, "Had it not been for you, Ye Suxin would have experienced a joyous family life and married her betrothed. In Lingdong, she was hailed as a prodigy!"

"But your arrival disrupted everything!"

"She was carrying your child! Yet, she dared not inform you, enduring it all alone, cursed by her father, forsaken by her fiancé; at that moment, she was reduced to naught but a pawn for an alliance!"

"For the sake of that child, she exerted immense effort to unlock the Ice Extinguishing Skill using the Sunfire artifact, a feat that demanded considerable cost!"

"Ultimately, atop the Miracle Ridge, she perished for you, and the child met an innocent demise as well!"

"Though you endeavored to revive Ye Suxin with the Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation I devised, you couldn't have foreseen that upon summoning Ye Suxin's soul, my own soul would return as well!"

"And my soul possessed a greater strength than Ye Suxin's. When we both awakened concurrently, I sealed her soul!"

"Her body subsequently became mine!"

Zhao Yue observed Lin Bai, a smile gracing her lips.

Lin Bai's expression contorted with agony upon hearing Zhao Yue's words.

Zhao Yue remarked, "A woman who should have known happiness and joy, yet due to you, her family was shattered, and she met such a fate. Truly, all the blame rests upon your shoulders!"

"In the end, even with a miraculous resurrection, her very body became a vessel for another's union."

Lin Bai choked out, "I wronged her!"

Having spoken, Lin Bai turned, exiting the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss. He declared coldly, "Zhao Yue, I will devise a means to separate both of your Divine Souls. When that day comes, I will personally end your life!"

Zhao Yue burst into laughter. "Do as you please! Regardless, I have already faced death once; it holds no further significance!"

Lin Bai departed from the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss.

Zhao Yue watched his retreating figure, a faint smile persisting on her face.

At that moment, a solitary tear traced a path from Zhao Yue's left eye.

Wiping the tear from her cheek, Zhao Yue softly chuckled. "Crying, are these your tears, Ye Suxin?"

Swish—

Zhao Yue's demeanor shifted abruptly, her gaze fixed on Lin Bai's receding back, her voice laced with anguish as she cried out, "Lin Bai..."

Swish—

Instantly, Zhao Yue's countenance reverted to a cold smirk. "No need to call out; he is already gone!"

From within Zhao Yue's form, another voice emerged. "Zhao Yue, how much longer can you maintain control over me? Hmph, you can never assimilate my Divine Soul, for my Martial Soul is the Undying Phoenix!"

"I am eternal!"

Zhao Yue's eyes glinted as she responded icily, "Who knew Lin Bai would permit you to possess a Transcendent Martial Soul, one that surpasses all beneath the heavens, transcends the six realms of reincarnation, and goes beyond the world and nature itself!"

The voice within her retorted, "Just wait. Lin Bai will find a way, and when he does, he will end you! Since you have perused my memories, you must comprehend the nature of Lin Bai!"

"The sword he wields shows no mercy!"

Zhao Yue let out a cold, derisive laugh, her expression chilling as she approached a plant, touching it and causing it to instantly wither and crumble. "I should have eliminated him while I had the chance!"

It became apparent that Zhao Yue harbored other potent poisons within her being!

...

Emerging from the Imprisoned Dragon Abyss, Lin Bai located Hu Xiner within the Imperial Palace, and together they departed from the Jianghai Region.

"Lin Bai, where are we headed?" Hu Xiner inquired.

"We're returning to the East Continent Academy. I need to consult some information!" Lin Bai took a deep, cleansing breath and set his course for the East Continent Academy.

En route back to the East Continent Academy, Lin Bai's Sound Transmission Token suddenly activated.

"A message from Lord Lan Ling," Lin Bai exclaimed in surprise.

He activated the Sound Transmission Token, and Lan Ling's voice immediately reached him. "Lin Bai, I have discovered a viable method for you."

Lin Bai's voice tinged with excitement. "Truly? What method is it, Lord Lan Ling?"

Lan Ling's voice was cold. "The method is somewhat involved; return to the East Continent Academy without delay, and we shall discuss it in detail there!"

Lin Bai nodded in agreement. "Understood!"

Without another word, Lin Bai, accompanied by Hu Xiner, hastened directly towards the East Continent Academy.

A day later, Lin Bai, riding his sword at great speed, arrived back at the East Continent Academy.

He proceeded directly to the Lan Clan's estate with Hu Xiner.

Lan Ling remained seated by the lake, observing Lin Bai's approach.

Lin Bai and Hu Xiner approached, and Lin Bai immediately clasped his fist, inquiring, "Lord Lan Ling, is there a method to liberate the two Divine Souls within Zhao Yue?"

Lan Ling nodded, responding, "When Lan Yuanqing sent his report, I was already seeking a solution for you. It's true that within the East Continent Academy, no such method exists to unlock two Divine Souls!"

"However, I discovered a record within the Gujin Tower!"

Lin Bai, with curiosity, asked, "What record is it?"

Lan Ling stated, "The Sword God Family, and their Water Mirror Sword!"

Lin Bai's brow furrowed as he looked at Lan Ling.

Lan Ling gently elaborated, "The Water Mirror Sword is renowned as one of the nine supreme swords of the Sword God Family. It is an Emperor-level Spiritual Tool, meticulously forged with a unique Divine Iron!"

"This peculiar Divine Iron is known as 'Thousand Souls in One Dream.' Only a mere nine catties of this Divine Iron exist throughout the Barbaric Ancient Continent, which the Sword God Family acquired to craft the Water Mirror Sword!"

"And owing to this Divine Iron, the Water Mirror Sword possesses the capability to assault Divine Souls. If wielded with precision, it should be able to extricate the two Divine Souls residing within Zhao Yue!"

"It is the sole item capable of severing two merged Divine Souls without causing harm to either!"

"Nevertheless, severing Divine Souls demands extraordinary caution; a true Sword Art Strong One must be the wielder. Any slight error could imperil the Divine Souls!"

Lan Ling explained softly.

Lin Bai had once contemplated using his Devouring Sword Spirit to sever the Divine Souls, but the notion was instantly discarded upon its conception. The Devouring Sword Spirit's power was excessively potent. A single misstep, and its formidable Power of Devouring would obliterate both Zhao Yue and Ye Suxin's Divine Souls completely!

After much deliberation, Lin Bai hesitated to court such a risk!

Upon hearing Lan Ling's words, Lin Bai's face brightened with excitement, "The Sword God Family, the Water Mirror Sword!"

"Lord Lan Ling, do you happen to know the whereabouts of the Sword God Family?"

Lan Ling replied, "The Northern Continent!"

Lin Bai inquired with surprise, "The Sword God Family is not situated in the East Continent?"

Lan Ling chuckled, answering, "Certainly not. The Sword God Family's methods for cultivating disciples are distinct. They favor placing their family members across the Barbaric Ancient Continent to undergo rigorous training. Perhaps in the East Continent, perhaps the Southern Continent, or even the Central Holy Nation!"

"Different environments are believed to forge the temperament of warriors in unique ways!"

"However, the ancestral lands and primary domain of the Sword God Family are located within the Northern Continent!"

"Regarding this matter, Fu Qingshuang would likely possess more knowledge than I do!"

Lan Ling added with a faint smile.

Lin Bai pondered, his brow furrowed, "Why would Uncle Fu Qingshuang be more informed?"

Lan Ling let out a laugh, "Because he himself is a disciple of the Sword God Family!"

A look of astonishment flashed in Lin Bai's pupils; Fu Qingshuang was, in fact, a disciple of the Sword God Family!
