The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2976 - 2951: Second Disciple! Chen Zhixiao!

Lin Bai also did not go to the Old Man to collect the refunded normal Spirit Liquid, after all, the events on the Manwu River were so sudden, and Zhaixing Tower and the Old Man couldn’t be blamed.

After disembarking from the Guest Ship, Lin Bai saw the Mu siblings, Mu Yu and Mu Ting, approaching.

Mu Ting gratefully said, "Lin Bai, we won’t express our thanks in words, but if you ever need the Dragon Scale Tribe, please don’t hesitate to ask!"

Mu Yu, crying with pear blossom tears, said, "Thank you, Brother Lin Bai, for your assistance!"

Lin Bai shook his head and smiled, "No problem, it’s a small matter, and after all, these things are somewhat related to me!"

"So, what are your plans next, you two?"

Mu Ting smiled lightly and said, "Originally, I wanted to take my sister to Fire Lotus Mountain to see the excitement, but now these events have happened, I’ve lost interest entirely, so we’ll rest for a few days at Hidden Dragon Ferry Crossing before returning to the Family."

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Alright then, let’s say goodbye here!"

Mu Ting asked, "Brother Lin, are you still going to Fire Lotus Mountain?"

Lin Bai smiled gently, "Since I’ve come this far, following the Manwu River, it will take at most five or six days to reach Fire Lotus Mountain. Why not go?"

Mu Ting smiled lightly and said, "That’s true, with Brother Lin’s strength, you can certainly hold your own against those talented individuals at Fire Lotus Mountain. I wish you a triumphant success!"

"Thank you." Lin Bai expressed his thanks.

Immediately, Lin Bai bade farewell to the Mu siblings.

Lin Bai made some inquiries at Hidden Dragon Ferry Crossing and found that the fastest departing Guest Ship belonged to Tianbao Tower, so he paid the fare and boarded the ship with Ye Suxin.

Half an hour later, Tianbao Tower’s Guest Ship left the port, heading towards Fire Lotus Mountain.

Ye Suxin and Lin Bai stood on the deck, smiling and saying, "I wonder if we’ll encounter that Prehistoric Giant Beast again after re-entering the Manwu River this time!"

Lin Bai chuckled with a hint of helplessness, "I hope not for now. The last encounter nearly cost me half my life, and the Prehistoric Giant Beast’s vitality is too tenacious, making it incredibly difficult to kill!"

If we encounter it again, even Tianbao Tower’s Guest Ship is likely doomed." Lin Bai said with a wry smile.

Ye Suxin chuckled lightly, "I would quite like to use the ’Qiankun Beast-controlling Art’ to bring a Prehistoric Giant Beast under my command! But for now, it seems impossible with my current strength."

Lin Bai furrowed his brow and pondered, speaking quietly, "Not entirely impossible. If there’s a way to severely wound a Giant Beast, or even push it to the brink of death, there might be a chance to subdue it."

Ye Suxin commented, "That would be very difficult!"

Lin Bai said, "Indeed, Tiandao has its flaws, and everything has a weakness. Even if the ’Qiankun Beast-controlling Art’ can subdue Giant Beasts, making one willingly submit is likely not a simple task."

Ye Suxin nodded slightly.

Half an hour later, Tianbao Tower’s Guest Ship smoothly departed the port.

Lin Bai and Ye Suxin stood on the deck, enjoying the scenery on both sides.

The journey was much calmer this time.

Compared to Zhaixing Tower’s Guest Ship, Tianbao Tower’s Guest Ship provided a strong sense of security due to the character of its warriors and the ship’s defense.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the seventh day’s dusk.

On that day, Lin Bai and Ye Suxin were resting in their room.

Suddenly, a shout was heard from the deck: "We’ve reached Fire Lotus Mountain, and in half an hour, we will arrive at the Fire Lotus Mountain Ferry Crossing, marking the end of this journey!"

Upon hearing the sound, all the warriors came out from the cabins and onto the deck to enjoy the scenery on both sides.

Lin Bai, Ye Suxin, and Lin Ye also came out.

Lin Bai looked up to see both sides of the Mountain Range covered in charred blackness, with no vegetation within. The barren mountains looked extremely desolate, with hardly any signs of life.

Not to mention people, even finding warriors was difficult here.

Upon entering the Territories of Fire Lotus Mountain, Lin Bai could clearly feel a significant increase in the surrounding Fire Attribute Spiritual Power.

"The Fire Spirit Power is quite dense here," Ye Suxin murmured, "For warriors cultivating Fire Attribute Skills or possessing a Fire Attribute Martial Soul, this place is an excellent area for cultivation!"

Lin Bai replied, "Yes!"

As dusk fell and the sun set in the west.

Tianbao Tower’s Guest Ship entered Fire Lotus Mountain Ferry Crossing and docked on the shore.

The warriors slowly disembarked from the Guest Ship and entered Fire Lotus Mountain.

Before the Fire Lotus Mountain Ferry Crossing stood a Young man dressed in luxurious robes, with sword-like brows and star-like eyes, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, watching Tianbao Tower’s Guest Ship as it docked.

A hundred servants stood respectfully behind the Young man.

"I am Chen Zhixiao, the second disciple under Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures. Welcome all to Fire Lotus Mountain!" the Young man said with a courteous smile and a fist greeting as he saw the warriors disembark from the Guest Ship.

"My master has already prepared rooms for everyone, feel free to stay!"

Chen Zhixiao said with a smile.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Chen!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

The warriors expressed their gratitude.

Immediately, Chen Zhixiao smiled and gestured, prompting the servants behind him to lead the warriors from the Guest Ship into Gu Dao within Fire Lotus Mountain.

Lin Bai followed them.

Just then, as everyone was about to leave the Ferry Crossing, another group of warriors emerged from the Spirit Boat, carrying themselves with an air of exceptional lineage.

Chen Zhixiao stepped forward and greeted with a fist courtesy, "Greetings to the Seniors of the Jiuli Tribe!"

Among this group, several elderly men immediately smiled and said, "Chen Zhixiao, long time no see!"

"How is Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures doing?"

"I haven’t had a drink with him in ages. Your Fire Lotus Mountain’s Blaze Wine is renowned Under Heaven. We wonder if this time, we’ll have the fortune to taste it?"

The elderly men said with hearty laughter.

Chen Zhixiao smiled and said, "Upon hearing of the arrival of the Seniors from the Jiuli Tribe, my master instructed me long ago to prepare plenty of Blaze Wine, waiting for you all to savor!"

"Seniors, please follow me. My master has arranged accommodations for you on the south side of Fire Lotus Mountain!"

Chen Zhixiao personally led these elderly men over.

Then, a few young men and women emerged from behind the elderly men, greeting with fists, "Greetings to Senior Brother Chen Zhixiao!"

Chen Zhixiao looked up and said, "These are the talents from the Jiuli Tribe, are they not?"

The elderly men laughed, "Haha, what talents, merely some youngsters!"

Chen Zhixiao chuckled lightly, "I’ve heard the Jiuli Tribe has produced an impressive talent this year named Li Can. I’m curious, is he among the warriors in this group?"

Upon hearing Chen Zhixiao’s inquiry, the elderly men looked at a young man and said, "Li Can, aren’t you going to greet Senior Brother Chen Zhixiao?"

Chen Zhixiao’s eyes turned, and from the crowd emerged a youth appearing only seventeen or eighteen. He had a handsome face and a faintly proud smile at the corner of his mouth.

He greeted with fists, saying, "Li Can greets Senior Brother Chen Zhixiao!"

Chen Zhixiao smiled and said, "Indeed, a young hero, such spirit is truly extraordinary!"

"It seems this year’s Life Anniversary Martial Arts Competition will be especially exciting!"

Chen Zhixiao said with a smile.

Several strong individuals from the Jiuli Tribe smiled silently, and one among them asked tentatively, "Chen Zhixiao, do you know if the people from the Sword Pavilion Clan and the Emperor Tribe have arrived?"

"Who from these factions did they send?"
