Lin Bai, wielding only a wooden sword, single-handedly defeated a massive force of warriors. The Great River Sect and Wan Shan Alliance, having suffered heavy losses, chose to withdraw rather than risk further depletion of their strength. Xiao Yu, left alone and facing Lin Bai's inevitable approach, desperately pleaded with Ye Suxin for help, but she halted Lin Bai's final strike at the last moment.

"Stop! Lin Bai!"

Ye Suxin immediately shouted.

At the moment she heard Ye Suxin’s voice, Lin Bai’s sword edge was only a hair’s breadth away from Xiao Yu’s eyeball.

Just a slight push forward, and Xiao Yu’s head would be pierced through by Lin Bai’s sword.

But Lin Bai stopped.

Xiao Yu was scared out of his wits, his eyes staring at the wooden sword above his brow, terrified.

Looking again, Xiao Yu saw Lin Bai’s cold eyes and indifferent expression, making him even more frightened, his body almost giving way.

Ye Suxin walked up gently, placed her hand on Lin Bai’s wrist, and softly said, "Lin Bai, I’ve suffered such an injustice. If we kill Xiao Yu now, the Poison God Clan will probably send other experts to capture me. We need to resolve this matter properly."

"Just killing Xiao Yu, even if you wipe out all the warriors of the Poison God Clan here today, the Poison God Clan will let me go."

Ye Suxin said softly.

Upon hearing Ye Suxin’s words, Lin Bai’s cold expression softened slightly, as if he found some sense in what Ye Suxin said.

But immediately, Lin Bai said, "But I’ve already killed so many warriors of the Poison God Clan, one more won’t make a difference."

"Anyway, the Poison God Clan won’t let me off."

Ye Suxin shook her head and said, "Let me think of a way. Hopefully, we can clear up the misunderstanding with the Poison God Clan."

Xiao Yu’s eyes flickered at this moment, and he said, "If you two spare my life today, I can return immediately to the Poison God Clan and explain this situation clearly. I hold an elder’s position within the Poison God Clan, so with my word, they might reconsider!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai withdrew the wooden sword from Xiao Yu’s front and looked at Ye Suxin, asking, "Do you trust him?"

Ye Suxin shook her head and said, "No, but he is more useful alive than dead."

"Let him live a few more days, and if it doesn’t work out, we can always kill him then."

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Alright."

Ye Suxin turned her head and saw all the warriors in Rouge Lane staring at Lin Bai in shock. She also saw the ground littered with corpses in Rouge Lane and said with a slight shake of her head, "You’ve caused quite a stir here. We should leave first and then figure out our next move!"

Lin Bai silently nodded, a sword qi entered Xiao Yu’s body, and he said, "I’ve left a sword qi in your body. If you dare to act rashly, with just a thought, this sword qi will immediately shatter your Divine Elixir and Dantian, and crush your Divine Soul!"

Xiao Yu’s face turned pale, and he said in terror, "I dare not! I dare not!"

Immediately, Lin Bai grabbed Xiao Yu and said in a low voice, "I’ve instructed Lin Ye to meet us outside the city; let’s go out first."

Ye Suxin nodded slightly.

Immediately, the three of them soared into the Cloud Sky, left Jiangshan City, and found Lin Ye.

Then Lin Bai and the others left Jiangshan City directly.

As Lin Bai and the others soared into the sky, the Wolf King and Snake King in Rouge Lane of Jiangshan City looked up at Ye Suxin.

The Wolf King said in a low voice, "The Sect Leader seems to have left? He doesn’t seem to be following the original plan to go to the Poison God Clan!"

The Snake King chuckled, "Perhaps...the Sect Leader has other ideas."

At this time, the Snake King suddenly looked into the Storage Bag, took out the Sound Transmission Token, and a woman’s voice flew over it immediately.

After hearing it, the Snake King chuckled, "Indeed, the Sect Leader has other ideas, telling us to stay on standby."

The Wolf King nodded slightly.

After leaving Jiangshan City, Lin Bai and the others flew swiftly for a long time.

They arrived at a small tribe called "Sky Light Tribe" and bought a villa to stay.

The villa was named ’Dew Pavilion.’

Xiao Yu also followed Lin Bai and the other two here.

In the villa, Lin Bai directly sealed Xiao Yu’s cultivation and threw him into a room for Lin Ye to watch over.

Lin Bai then took Ye Suxin away.

In the deep of the night.

On the pavilion of this villa, Lin Bai worriedly looked at Ye Suxin, and said in a low voice, "Suxin, are you alright."

Ye Suxin chuckled and shook her head, "I knew you would come back to save me, so I was never worried."

Lin Bai coldly said, "I really should have killed Xiao Yu with one sword, to give the Poison God Clan a lesson, or else, this bunch of mad dogs probably won’t let it go."

Ye Suxin laughed and said, "I told you, he still has his uses, don’t be in such a rush..."

Lin Bai seriously looked at Ye Suxin, touched her hair, and said softly, "I really don’t want to see you get hurt again!"

"In my life, the person I owe the most to is you!"

Ye Suxin raised her eyes, her eyes flashing gentle light as she looked at Lin Bai, somewhat moved.

She laughed, "Really?"

Lin Bai said foolishly, "Just like you, I’ve suffered too many wounds along the way."

"When we met before, we were enemies, you fought for Su Cang, and I fought for survival."

"Once, I left an indelible sword mark on your back."

"Once, I did some wrong things in Flower Valley."

"And it was those wrong things that left me with guilt in my heart!"

Ye Suxin asked, "Is it because of this guilt? Is that why you’re staying with me now, just to make up for it? Not because you love me?"

Lin Bai laughed at himself and said, "Initially, it was indeed because of guilt that I wanted to make it up to you. But later, ever since I learned on the Miracle Ridge that you were going to marry Su Cang, at that moment, I realized what my heart truly wanted."

"It was then that I knew...what love is."

Lin Bai said somewhat self-mockingly, "You must find it strange that someone as cold and emotionless, a sword cultivator known as a demon to the outside world, would say such things."

"Even I find it a bit strange!"

Ye Suxin laughed, "No, not strange at all, keep going, don’t stop, I love hearing it."

Lin Bai seriously looked at Ye Suxin and said, "I’ve spent my life amidst slaughter, unable to utter words as refined as scholars, but what I can promise you is... should the day come when anyone dares to harm you, harm us, I will use my sword to cut their blood and soul piece by piece."

"Suxin, I know you’ve lost a lot in Lingdong, lost friends, lost family, lost siblings."

"But you’ve lived again, and I hope you understand that in this world, you will never lose me!"

"No matter when or where, no matter the circumstances, as long as you need me, I will come to help you!"

"You are no longer alone. From now on, to the ends of the Earth, to the other side of the stars, I will walk with you!"

Lin Bai looked at Ye Suxin with tenderness.

"You seem to have a lot to say tonight, why didn’t you say it before!" Ye Suxin seemed touched by Lin Bai, with a hint of tears in her eyes.

Lin Bai held Ye Suxin’s face and seriously said, "I thought...I was going to lose you again!"
