Lin Bai refuses Prince Mo Chang's banquet invitation, offending An Chuxue. He asserts his arrogance is justified by his superior world and dismisses the Lounan Dynasty's imperial clan and vassals. Later, Mo Chang discusses Lin Bai with his top swordsman, Wan Qing, who believes he can defeat Lin Bai. Mo Chang then reveals he has obtained information on Lin Bai, identifying him as the 'Demonic Sword Purple Hui, Saint of the East Continent'.

Beside the portrait, there were only ten words.

But upon seeing those ten words, Wan Qing’s expression instantly transformed, his eyes burst open, and he couldn’t help but exclaim, "He is actually the Saint of the East Continent, Lin Bai!"

Mo Chang nodded and said, "After learning his name today, I felt the name was very familiar, but I couldn’t recall where I’d heard it before!"

"Later, before the banquet started, I specifically sent Lin Bai’s portrait and name back to the Zhennan Royal Mansion."

"Zhennan Royal Mansion’s Tianji Tower responded with just those ten words!"

"Demonic Sword Purple Hui, Saint of the East Continent, Lin Bai!"

Mo Chang said calmly.

Wan Qing looked over and over again at the sheepskin scroll with Lin Bai’s portrait and the ten words beside it.

Mo Chang said in a low voice, "Although Lin Bai is the Saint of the East Continent, the East Continent is far from us in the Northern Continent, but I’ve heard of this name!"

"Once when he participated in the East Continent Academy’s evaluation, he appeared on the East Continent Heroes Record!"

"At that time, Tianbao Tower’s evaluation of this person was... Rising from obscurity and tempered amidst life and death, his sword art mastery reaches heaven and earth, with unmatched sword talent!"

"Such a high evaluation from Tianbao Tower!"

"Tianbao Tower never easily gives warriors too high an evaluation, but it gave Lin Bai an exceptionally supreme one!"

"Sword art mastery reaches heaven and earth, with unmatched sword talent!"

Mo Chang said, taking a deep breath.

Wan Qing put away the sheepskin scroll, handing it back to Mo Chang, said in low voice, "Is he really that formidable? Maybe Tianbao Tower overestimated?"

Mo Chang shook his head and said, "Tianbao Tower did not overestimate Lin Bai; rather, I think Tianbao Tower underestimated Lin Bai!"

"When Tianbao Tower gave this evaluation, Lin Bai had just walked out from the territory of all nations, initially arrived at the East Continent, and had no battle achievements to speak of!"

"But later... On the Nine Heavens Primordial Ancestor Mountain, Lin Bai defeated all the heroes!"

"Within the East Continent Academy, atop Saint Island, after defeating all East Continent Tianjiao, he ascended to the position of Saint!"

"It’s truly unimaginable that a nameless warrior walking out from an inconspicuous territory in the East Continent would one day ascend to the status of a Saint!"

Mo Chang was particularly amazed by Lin Bai.

Wan Qing asked, "So what does the Princely Heir mean by this?"

Mo Chang said, "If we can recruit him, we should try to do so; if he really doesn’t want to serve the Zhennan Royal Mansion, we won’t force him, but also won’t make things difficult for him!"

"Help him as best we can, just to forge a good relationship!"

"Wan Qing, since he has come to the North State, but hasn’t traveled the North State under the title of the Saint of the East Continent, we shouldn’t reveal his message either!"

Wan Qing said solemnly, "I understand!"

Mo Chang curiously asked, "Do you still think you would win against him in a fight now?"

"This..." Wan Qing’s expression was a bit hesitant, not answering.

It was evident that Wan Qing also had some apprehensions about Lin Bai.

Seeing Wan Qing’s face showing hesitation, Mo Chang smiled slightly but didn’t continue to press the issue.

...

The night passed without words, Lin Bai stood in the room, watching the physician heal Lin Ye.

By noon the next day, Zhennan Royal Mansion’s Spirit Boat had reached Meng Gu City.

At that moment, Prince Mo Chang entered Lin Bai’s room, seeing the physician still treating Lin Ye, he asked, "Sir, how much longer is needed?"

The physician laughed and said, "Approximately half a day’s time!"

Mo Chang nodded slightly, then said to Lin Bai, "Brother Lin, we have now reached Meng Gu City, and healing Lin Ye is still needed; if Brother Lin doesn’t mind, you can stay at Zhennan Royal Mansion’s residence in Meng Gu City for now!"

"After all, Zhennan Royal Mansion has a very large mansion in Meng Gu City, accommodating thousands is not a problem!"

Mo Chang said with a smile.

Originally, Lin Bai intended to part ways with the people of Zhennan Royal Mansion directly in Meng Gu City after Lin Ye was healed, but now Lin Ye was still unconscious and needed half a day’s treatment.

With no alternative, Lin Bai could only agree to Mo Chang’s request.

"Alright, sorry for the trouble," Lin Bai nodded and said.

Mo Chang laughed, "No matter, no matter, I’ll get someone to arrange accommodation right away!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

In a short while, the physician stopped, and Lin Bai picked up Lin Ye and walked out of the Spirit Boat.

After stepping out of the Spirit Boat, Lin Bai looked up, beneath the Spirit Boat, there lay an Ancient City emitting an ancient and time-worn atmosphere, showing the traces of the passage of time.

At this moment within the Ancient City, there were many powerful sword cultivators moving back and forth.

And from these sword cultivators, a faint sword intention emanated, gathering in the sky above the Ancient City, transforming into a heaven-reaching sword aura, sweeping across thousands of miles.

Ordinary warriors would be terrified by such sword aura.

On the deck of the Zhennan Royal Mansion’s Spirit Boat, when Lin Bai with Lin Ye walked out, suddenly, Lin Bai’s sword intention within uncontrollably manifested, congregating above his head and shooting skyward.

"Hmm?" Lin Bai felt his sword intention exposed, hurriedly controlling.

However, even though Lin Bai quickly controlled the sword intention, above his head still emerged a six-foot-long golden glow, like a sharp sword!

Above Lin Bai’s head, that six-foot-long golden glow was the transformation of Lin Bai’s sword intention.

On the Spirit Boat’s deck, seeing the emergence of a six-foot golden glow above Lin Bai’s head, the expressions of hundreds of warriors couldn’t help showing a hint of amazement.

"Six-foot sword aura..."

"This person counts as a strong one!"

"His sword dao cultivation is quite impressive! Sword aura actually reaches six feet long!"

The surrounding warriors all turned their gaze towards Lin Bai, slightly shaken.

Lin Bai looked up, noticed that on the deck, the heads of several hundred warriors also have a golden glow, but with varying lengths.

Some have only one foot, others have two feet, and some have three feet...

Among them, Lin Bai also saw that in the crowd, out of several hundred, only a dozen people had golden glows reaching six feet long, including An Chuxue and Wan Qing.

An Chuxue seeing Lin Bai’s perplexed face, said irritably, "This is a formation set up by the Sword God Family in the Ancient City; every sword cultivator entering the Ancient City will be induced by the formation to transform their sword intention into sword aura above their head!"

"And the length of the sword aura indicates the warrior’s strength, talent..."

Hearing An Chuxue’s explanation, Lin Bai understood.

An Chuxue said crossly, "I told you to socialize more with people, you didn’t listen, and now you know nothing about these things!"

At this moment, Mo Chang approached with a smile, saying, "Brother Lin, don’t panic, this is indeed a formation set by the Sword God Family, every sword cultivator entering here will have sword aura condensed above their head!"

"And before the Martial Arts Competition begins, warriors within the Ancient City will assess warriors based on the sword aura above their heads!"

"With Brother Lin’s current six-foot sword aura, it’s clear Lin Bai is already a master within this Ancient City!"

Mo Chang said with a smile.

Lin Bai seemed to partially understand, nodded, looking at Mo Chang, noticed a five-foot sword aura above his head.

"Truly an interesting place!" Lin Bai thought with amusement: "Just now I controlled my sword intention, if I hadn’t, and let the formation induce it, I wonder how many feet the sword aura above me would be?"

Earlier when Lin Bai realized his uncontrolled sword intention emerged, he immediately controlled it, thus only forming a six-foot sword aura.

"If I fully unleashed my sword intention, I wonder how high the sword aura would go!" Lin Bai thought humorously, yet he didn’t act thus, because Lin Bai knew, it’s unwise to stand out too much!

With a current six-foot sword aura, within the Ancient City, it doesn’t count as a top Tianjiao, but not a worthless person either, still at middle ground, Lin Bai considered this satisfactory!
