Lin Bai is revealed to be the Saint of the East Continent, a warrior with unmatched sword talent. While traveling to Meng Gu City, Lin Bai's uncontrolled sword intention manifests as a six-foot sword aura. Upon arrival, he learns this is a common phenomenon in the Sword God Family's Ancient City, used to gauge a warrior's strength.

Lin Bai followed the hundreds of Sword Cultivators from the Zhennan Royal Mansion off the Spirit Boat.

Mo Chang, An Chuxue, Wan Qing, and others walked at the forefront.

The group sequentially entered the streets of Meng Gu City, heading to a certain place within the city.

Lin Bai, holding Lin Ye, walked among the crowd, occasionally glancing at the surrounding warriors, who were mostly Sword Cultivators, with golden Sword Aura floating above their heads.

The Sword Aura of these warriors varied from three feet to six feet.

Essentially, there were none with Sword Aura under three feet.

Walking past several streets, Lin Bai also saw many warriors, forming a preliminary assessment of the city’s warriors.

Currently, in Meng Gu City, many warriors had Sword Aura of three feet; fewer had four or five feet of Sword Aura, while Lin Bai only saw two or three with six feet of Sword Aura after walking several streets; they must be quite rare.

Since Wan Qing, An Chuxue, Lin Bai, and the others had achieved up to six feet of Sword Aura, their presence on Meng Gu City’s streets attracted quite a few warriors’ astonishment.

Seeing hundreds entering Meng Gu City, these warriors constantly clicked their tongues: "It must be a formidable force; having so many warriors with six feet of Sword Aura!"

The surrounding warriors exclaimed, seeing Zhennan Royal Mansion’s warriors.

The group walked the streets for about half an hour, arriving at a tranquil and elegant North Courtyard, the plaque inscribed with "Nan Wang Estate."

Mo Chang smiled and said: "Here we are; this Nan Wang Estate is our Zhennan Royal Mansion’s residence in Meng Gu City, diligently cleaned by maids dispatched earlier."

"I’ll arrange everyone’s accommodation!"

Immediately, Mo Chang guided a group of warriors inside.

As Mo Chang stepped into the estate, an old man with a kindly smile, leading a group of stunningly beautiful maidens, hurried to the door, saying to Mo Chang: "Your Highness, forgive this old man for the delayed greeting!"

Mo Chang smiled and said: "No need, Housekeeper Lin, I just accelerated my journey midway!"

"Well, Housekeeper Lin, arrange for them to rest first."

"Yes!" Housekeeper Lin cheerfully said: "Please, gentlemen, follow me; this old servant has prepared rooms for you!"

"Come, escort the gentlemen to their rest."

Housekeeper Lin respectfully instructed the maids behind him.

The group of maids responded affirmatively, proceeding toward each warrior.

Simultaneously, a maid approached Lin Bai, saying: "Master Lin Bai, please follow me!"

Lin Bai silently nodded, stepping forward to follow the maid.

Walking across the tranquil courtyards of Nan Wang Estate, Lin Bai felt a sense of serenity and delight.

Not long after, upon crossing several corridors, the maid led Lin Bai to an elegant residence.

Standing at the door of the residence, the maid respectfully said: "Master Lin Bai, this is your abode, named Jianxin Courtyard, specially prepared for you by Prince Mo Chang. I hope you enjoy it!"

Lin Bai, carrying the unconscious Lin Ye, entered the elegant residence, noting its complete layout and tranquility, clearly a rare gem within Nan Wang Estate.

Lin Bai said: "I am very satisfied, please thank Prince Mo Chang for me!"

The maid nodded and said: "I am Shui Xian. Before the Sky Sword City Competition, I will remain in Jianxin Courtyard, responsible for attending to Master Lin Bai’s daily needs. Should you have any requests, you may call upon this servant at any time!"

Lin Bai nodded and said: "Thank you, please have a doctor come."

Maid Shui Xian nodded and said: "Yes!"

Maid Shui Xian turned and left the Jianxin Courtyard.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai placed Lin Ye onto the bed within the residence.

Half an hour later, Shui Xian brought a doctor to Lin Bai’s courtyard.

"Master Lin Bai." The doctor greeted with a cupped-fist salute.

Lin Bai apologized: "Doctor, I know you’ve been traveling and are weary, having just arrived in Meng Gu City. I had hoped you could rest, but I truly cannot be at ease regarding my younger brother’s injuries..."

"Hence..."

Lin Bai apologized, feeling guilty.

The doctor laughed and said: "Haha, Master Lin Bai, no need for formality. A healer’s heart is like a parent’s, especially under Prince Mo Chang’s orders, compelling me to come immediately!"

"Rest assured, Master Lin Bai. Within half a day, Lin Ye’s injuries will surely heal."

Lin Bai said: "I am grateful!"

The doctor smiled slightly and approached Lin Ye, commencing treatment.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai and Maid Shui Xian stood beside them.

At that moment, Lin Bai asked: "How soon does the Sky Sword City Competition start?"

Maid Shui Xian replied: "The Sword God Family hasn’t notified of the exact time, but traditionally, the Sky Sword City Competition commences in mid-August!"

"It lasts three days!"

"Currently, it’s early August, so it should be in the coming days. However, the precise timing depends on the Sword God Family’s announcement!"

Lin Bai curiously asked: "Are there warriors from the Sword God Family in Meng Gu City?"

Maid Shui Xian smiled and said: "Meng Gu City, being the largest city outside Yunmeng Marsh, naturally attracts numerous Sword Cultivators from all directions, which the Sword God Family is well aware of!"

"Therefore, the Sword God Family will dispatch experts to infiltrate Meng Gu City, seeking promising talents!"

"But no one knows which warrior belongs to the Sword God Family!"

Lin Bai nodded in realization: "I see, the Sword God Family intends to observe the warriors participating in the competition through Meng Gu City?"

Maid Shui Xian said: "Master Lin Bai, the Sword God Family’s assessment begins the moment you and the other competitors entered Meng Gu City."

Lin Bai curiously asked: "Why?"

Maid Shui Xian smiled and said: "Because of the Sword Aura above your head, sir!"

Lin Bai looked up, seeing the six-foot Sword Aura above his head flashing golden light.

Maid Shui Xian said: "The Magic Circle within Meng Gu City was personally established by the Sword God Family, so every Sword Cultivator entering this city will be drawn by the Magic Circle, causing their Sword Intent to involuntarily reveal!"

"The longer the Sword Aura, the stronger the warrior’s strength and Sword Intent cultivation!"

"Indeed, this formation incidentally categorizes the Sword Cultivators in Meng Gu City into different levels!"

"Over the years of observation, warriors with longer Sword Aura have a greater chance of entering the Sword God Family!"

Maid Shui Xian said matter-of-factly.

Lin Bai silently nodded.

After Lin Bai arrived at Nan Wang Estate, aside from attending to Lin Ye’s recovery,

other Sword Cultivators began their excursions in Meng Gu City, exploring its ancient charm while observing the warriors competing!

Wan Qing, An Chuxue included.

Earlier, An Chuxue led the warriors from the Frostfire Tribe into Meng Gu City for leisure and intelligence gathering.
