The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2899 - 2874: Awakening!

In the forest, Lin Bai confusedly opened her eyes, her gaze met by a lush green forest.

Lin Bai hurriedly sat up, feeling that her meridians, blood, bones, and organs had all healed, yet there was no sign of spiritual power within her.

Looking up, she saw beneath a large tree ahead, a white-haired woman standing with her back to her.

"Awake?"

The white-haired woman silently turned around, a hint of a mischievous smile on her face.

"Suxin?" Lin Bai tentatively called out.

Lin Bai was somewhat uncertain, because the smile appearing on her face at this moment was too unfamiliar to Lin Bai; it was definitely not a smile Ye Suxin would have shown.

The white-haired woman smiled slightly and said, "She willingly gave me her body to rescue you."

"Zhao Yue!" Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, her gaze fierce; gritting her teeth, she immediately jumped up from the ground and rushed towards Zhao Yue.

Yet Zhao Yue, watching Lin Bai charge over, smiled slightly, neither dodging nor evading. Just as Lin Bai was about to strike, Zhao Yue lightly raised a finger, a massive force sending Lin Bai flying, landing a hundred meters away, spitting blood, her face pale.

Lin Bai was somewhat shocked.

Zhao Yue softly said, "You’d better not be reckless. Your Divine Elixir and Dantian have already been overdrawn too much with the potential from the ’Unbeatable Sword Skill’ and are now dry, in a state of deathly silence!"

"Even though you’re not useless, without spiritual power, you’re like a common person."

"Don’t be impulsive now, I put in a lot of effort to pull you back from Ghost Gate Pass!"

Zhao Yue coldly laughed as she spoke.

Lin Bai lay on the ground, feeling intense, tearing pain from her Dantian whenever she operated the ’Five Elements Scripture’, as if draining all life from within her.

Zhao Yue chuckled as she walked up to Lin Bai, reached out her five white fingers and grabbed Lin Bai’s throat, lifting her from the ground, chuckling lightly, "Without spiritual power, you’re just like a waste in front of me!"

Lin Bai was suffocating from Zhao Yue’s grip on her neck, her face flushed red, she gritted her teeth and snarled, "What did you do to Ye Suxin?"

Zhao Yue said coldly, "She used her Divine Soul to exchange for your life, and I gladly accepted!"

"So, I killed her!"

Zhao Yue pursed her lips, chuckling softly.

Lin Bai heard this, her eyes glazed over, staring at Zhao Yue in shock.

Zhao Yue smiled slightly, "Hahaha, you believed it? Alright, I’m done teasing you. Although I did want to devour her Divine Soul earlier, I restrained myself in the end!"

"Because I think she’s more useful alive than dead!"

Zhao Yue tossed Lin Bai to the ground, smiling slightly as she spoke.

Lin Bai said coldly, "What do you want to do with her?"

Zhao Yue said, "I’m not very interested in her, but I’m quite interested in you."

"I want you to assist me with something."

"This matter relies on my power alone and it’s quite difficult!"

"Once you help me accomplish this, I can return her body to her!"

Zhao Yue said with a smile.

Lin Bai directly said, "Alright, I agree!"

Zhao Yue said, "I haven’t even mentioned what it is yet, and you’re eager to agree?"

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Regardless of what it is, I’ll agree."

Zhao Yue pursed her lips, chuckling softly, "It seems your feelings for her are truly special, it’s not in vain that she’s willing to give up her life to save you!"

"Since you’ve agreed to help me, then you need to quickly find a way to restore your Divine Elixir!"

"Your Dantian and Divine Elixir have been overdrafted to such extent that a lot of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects will be needed to recover!"

"Do you have a way to recover?"

Zhao Yue asked.

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, she said coldly, "Let’s go to Shenwu Kingdom! Once there, Emperor Xiao will give me plenty of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, I think I can recover in no time!"

Zhao Yue shook her head and said, "I’m afraid not, your Dantian and Divine Elixir have overdrafted too much of their potential. Unless there is a Heaven-and-Earth-crafting object between heaven and earth, nobody can revitalize your Divine Elixir again!"

"Or I could directly take you to Southern Continent, there’s a place called the Divine Spirit Pool, where you can restore your Dantian!"

"Moreover, the task I need your assistance for is also in Southern Continent!"

Zhao Yue said calmly.

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, she said, "Traveling from East Continent to Southern Continent will take some time, and if during this time, I can repair my Dantian, wouldn’t that be great?"

"Moreover, I must go to Shenwu Kingdom at the moment, I’m somewhat worried about them..."

Zhao Yue smiled and said, "Alright, then we’ll first go have a look at Shenwu Kingdom!"

Lin Bai slightly nodded, looking at the two flying swords that had fallen to the side, and with a thought, the flying swords rose from the ground and entered Lin Bai’s body, vanishing without a trace.

The flying swords were originally part of her, although Lin Bai couldn’t wield the Flying Sword Skill due to lack of spiritual power now, the intrinsic power of the flying swords was still exceptionally potent.

These flying swords are now Lin Bai’s only life-saving objects in hand.

After putting away the flying swords, Lin Bai looked around at the dense forest.

Zhao Yue smiled slightly, stepped to Lin Bai’s side, grasped Lin Bai’s shoulder, and soared into the sky, she said, "Let’s first find a place to buy a Spirit Boat, then figure out which territory of East Continent we are in, so we can plan how to get to Shenwu Kingdom!"

Then Zhao Yue took Lin Bai, flying in the air for three days, found a city, purchased a Spirit Boat and a map, after which the two set out on the journey to Shenwu Kingdom.

Half a month passed.

During this half month period, several pieces of news in East Continent swept across Under Heaven like a storm!

The first news: Lin Bai, the Saint of the East Continent Academy, was stripped of his title and expelled from East Continent Academy!

The second news: At the Demon Slaying Conference, Lin Bai swept through heroes, rescued the Demon Sect Master!

The third news: Ancestor Zhang Yushan of the Sky Area, Songyun He of God Ghost Impassable Mountain, Su Cheng of Everlasting Night City hunted Lin Bai, all met a tragic end. Only Li Fu and Gu Daozhi returned, who kept silent about the other three’s fate.

Li Fu directly led the Li Family warriors back to Kunxu; Gu Daozhi returned to East Continent Academy and announced a retreat.

The Sky Area, God Ghost Impassable Mountain, and Everlasting Night City, these hidden families were enraged, placing the blood feud on Lin Bai’s head, and simultaneously issued a hunting order for Lin Bai across East Continent.

The fourth news: Lin Bai dared to defy the world, rescued the Demon Sect Hierarch, infuriating East Continent warriors, with East Continent Academy and Great Witch Dynasty spearheading a hunt for Lin Bai.

The fifth news: With Lin Bai rescuing the Demon Sect Hierarch, the warriors of East Continent were men and gods alike mad, frantically searching for Lin Bai’s whereabouts.

Originally, the Kunxu Li Clan had issued a hunting order against Lin Bai, and now even God Ghost Impassable Mountain, Everlasting Night City, the Sky Area, East Continent Academy, and Great Witch Dynasty have issued hunting orders against Lin Bai.

Other families, sects, and individual warriors who hate the Demon Sect also put out treasures, offering bounties for Lin Bai’s head.

The bounty for Lin Bai across East Continent has now reached... nine trillion Spirit Liquids!
