The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 3113 - 3088: July 15th!

No one knows where Xu Li got the information from, but he somehow knew that the Seventeenth Prince’s banquet was set for July 15th.

There were still more than twenty days remaining until July 15th.

During this period, Lin Bai stood in the courtyard, expelling poisonous beasts every day. Lin Bai also noticed that in the surrounding residences, more and more warriors were moving in.

They were evidently here to attend the banquet as Wending Realm strong ones.

Some warriors even approached Lin Bai for polite conversation, but after a few words of evasion from Lin Bai, they left.

"It seems Xu Li wasn’t wrong. At this rate, it’s estimated that by the time the banquet starts on July 15th, there will be nearly a thousand Wending Realm strong ones from the Poison God Clan, gathering almost one-tenth of the strong ones in the Southern Continent." Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with coldness as he looked towards the current Guest Quarters of the Poison God Clan.

As Lin Bai saw more and more Wending Realm strong ones in the Guest Quarters, he also occasionally noticed that Xu Li seemed very interested in them.

Xu Li would visit almost every warrior who came to the Poison God Clan for a few courteous words.

"Xu Li’s actions don’t seem so pure," Lin Bai noted as he observed Xu Li’s actions with a slight change in expression.

Although he noticed Xu Li’s peculiar behavior, Lin Bai did not inquire further.

Some people just like making friends, while others prefer solitude, like Lin Bai, who would rather be alone than stay with unfamiliar warriors.

But Xu Li seemed different; he seemed to enjoy making friends.

Time passed day by day, and Lin Bai continued to inquire about Ye Suxin’s whereabouts in the Poison God Clan while arduously cultivating and contemplating the Soul Refining Banner, trying to communicate with the Golden Soul within it.

After all, that platinum Golden Soul is comparable to a Near-Dao Realm strong one.

If Lin Bai could communicate with the Golden Soul, it would surely become a big killer in his hands.

But it didn’t seem so easy.

After many days of hard cultivation and deliberation, Lin Bai could only mobilize some Silver Souls, and not many—only about a hundred.

The strength of Silver Soul is comparable to the peak of Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection.

A hundred Silver Souls are equivalent to having over a hundred warriors at the peak of Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection as guardians around Lin Bai.

Moreover, if these hundred-plus Silver Souls are well-used by Lin Bai, they might even eliminate a Wending Realm strong one.

"It would be great if I could mobilize the Golden Soul..." Lin Bai felt unsatisfied.

On this day, while Lin Bai was sitting cross-legged in his room cultivating, suddenly a long snake slithered through the crack of the door and appeared before Lin Bai, raising its head.

Lin Bai stared blankly at the long snake. It was a poisonous beast, albeit not very strong in power or toxicity.

This long snake appeared in front of Lin Bai, seemingly unafraid of him.

It should be noted that Lin Bai, while residing in this room, dispersed his cultivation to prevent the poisonous beasts from easily approaching.

The long snake coiled up and looked at Lin Bai, uttering familiar human words: "The Seventeenth Prince and the Poison God Clan have agreed that on July 15th of this month—five days from now—the banquet officially begins. Any Death Reversal Realm warriors from the Poison God Clan may attend, and Guest Officials only need a cultivation level of Wending Realm to attend."

"The banquet will be held in the Poison Mountain, on the northwest side, Yun Tian Peak!"

"Of course, attending the banquet depends on your personal intentions. If you’re interested, don’t miss the hour, go early."

"If you don’t want to attend, the Poison God Clan won’t force you."

After uttering these words, the long snake looked at Lin Bai, turned around, and slipped away through the door seam, seemingly very afraid of him.

"That’s Elder Li’s voice..." Lin Bai recognized the voice from the long snake’s mouth as indeed belonging to Elder Li, who had brought Lin Bai and others to the Poison God Clan that day.

Lin Bai chuckled lightly: "The methods of the Poison God Clan are really interesting. They don’t even need to deliver messages in person, just control a poison to deliver it directly to the warriors."

"I estimate that not only I received the message but the other warriors in the Guest Quarters should have received it too."

Lin Bai spoke calmly.

"Hope to see the Ninth Elder at this banquet," Lin Bai’s eyes flickered as he took a deep breath and spoke.

Immediately, Lin Bai settled down and cultivated in his room for five days.

On the dawn of the fifth day, early in the morning, Lin Bai, after washing up, left his residence and headed towards Yun Tian Peak.

Today was the day of the banquet held by the Seventeenth Prince and the Poison God Clan.

When Lin Bai stepped out of his residence, he realized that the Guest Quarters, once crowded with strong ones, were now deserted, seemingly already departed.

Lin Bai took a look, then pulled out a map, confirmed the direction of Yun Tian Peak, and began walking.

"Little brother..."

As Lin Bai had just taken a few steps, a voice suddenly called from behind.

When Lin Bai turned his head, it was Xu Li: "Brother Xu Li, aren’t you planning on attending today’s banquet?"

Xu Li laughed: "Naturally, I will attend. Isn’t that where I’m heading? Are you going too? Shall we go together?"

Lin Bai paused; Xu Li’s proactive invitation made Lin Bai a little hesitant, but he smiled and said, "Alright, let’s go together."

"Good, good, good, I still don’t know your name, little brother?" Xu Li asked with a smile.

"Me? I’m called Lin Bai," Lin Bai chuckled.

Xu Li nodded with a smile: "Good name."

Lin Bai let out a bitter laugh and said, "It seems many warriors in the Guest Quarters have already gone ahead?"

Xu Li said, "Yes, some of them went over as soon as they got the message five days ago."

"Now it seems only we haven’t gone yet."

Lin Bai chuckled lightly and suddenly asked, "Brother Xu Li, I didn’t come to pledge loyalty to the Seventeenth Prince, so I’m not that interested in the banquet and hence not in a hurry to go."

"And you? Brother Xu Li, you also don’t seem very interested in the banquet, do you?"

Lin Bai asked with a smile.

Just as Lin Bai said, the warriors who sincerely wanted to pledge loyalty to the Seventeenth Prince had already gone to Yun Tian Peak.

Only those like Lin Bai, who had no interest in the banquet and even less in the Seventeenth Prince, would proceed so slowly.

Evidently, Xu Li seemed to be similar to Lin Bai.

Xu Li chuckled lightly: "Going early isn’t as good as going at the right moment. If the Seventeenth Prince doesn’t care for you, even if you knelt before him last year, he still wouldn’t spare you a glance; but if he sees potential in you, he’ll come looking for you even if you don’t seek him out."

"The Seventeenth Prince coming to the Poison God Clan is precisely for this reason, isn’t it?"

"After all, the Seventeenth Prince has taken an interest in the status and strength of the Poison God Clan in the Southern Continent, so he came personally!"

"So, I’m not in a hurry; if it’s gold, it’ll shine naturally."

Xu Li said with a beaming smile.
