The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 3166 - 3141: Departure!
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
Lan Ling heard these words from Lin Bai and felt it was hard to continue blaming Lin Bai.
At this moment, Lan Ling sighed softly, looked toward the Nanzhou Continent, and said mildly, "After this battle alone, it’s likely that the situation of Nanzhou Continent will have to be reshuffled."
Feng Lingzi nodded and said, "Indeed, the Poison God Clan is seriously injured, with most of the strong ones dead or wounded, only a few hundred central Wending Realm strong ones survived. Now, the Poison God Clan will probably struggle to influence the situation on the Nanzhou Continent."
"Even if the Poison God Clan wants to recover their vitality, without decades of careful recuperation, it’s impossible to recover."
Lan Ling nodded slightly, took out a Jade Slip from the Storage Bag, handed it to Lin Bai, and said, "Take a look, both Feng Lingzi and I have already seen it."
Lin Bai took the Jade Slip suspiciously, opened it, and it read a sentence: "Our unit encountered the troops of Qingyang Marquis, Beiyang Marquis, and Dongyang Marquis in Pingyang River of Nanzhou, fought fiercely, annihilated over half of the enemy, the remaining troops fled back to the Holy Kingdom, report this to the Crown Prince!"
After reading it, Lin Bai looked at Lan Ling.
Lan Ling said in a low voice, "While you were taking action within the Poison God Clan, the Seventeenth Prince dispatched three Military Marquises to the Nanzhou Continent, stationed at Pingyang River, 700,000 miles north of the Poison God Clan!"
"And just as you took action, the Crown Prince deployed several Military Marquises, along with nearly 50 million troops to secretly find the enemies stationed by these three Military Marquises and engage them in battle. The three Military Marquises were killed, most of their men annihilated, the rest fled back to the Holy Kingdom!"
Lin Bai exclaimed in shock, "The Seventeenth Prince actually dispatched Military Marquises to enter Nanzhou?"
Lan Ling said, "Indeed, the Poison God Clan recently pledged allegiance to the Seventeenth Prince; they are the sharp sword in the Seventeenth Prince’s hands, considered his current right-hand support. Now, this arm has been severed by you, so it’s estimated that the Seventeenth Prince hates you to the core, you must be extra cautious!"
"But don’t worry too much about these matters; after all, it’s the battle for the throne of the Central Holy Nation!"
Lin Bai said softly, "Is it possible for the Central Holy Nation to ignore the fact that their three major Military Marquises died in Nanzhou?"
Lan Ling laughed lightly, "Of course, they need to deal with it, but don’t forget, who dispatched the warriors to kill these three Military Marquises? It was the Crown Prince!"
"Even if this matter gets escalated, the Crown Prince will naturally find a way to suppress it!"
"Besides, you really think the Crown Prince did it just because he had nothing better to do, to kill these three Military Marquises?"
"No! It’s not that, the Crown Prince has his own ideas!"
"He killed these three Military Marquises and let this news spread back to the Central Holy Nation to give those still undecided Military Marquises a deterrent, to let them think clearly before choosing sides!"
Lin Bai said, "So the Crown Prince had that intention too."
Lan Ling laughed lightly, "You don’t need to deal with these matters for now; neither you nor I can influence the throne battle!"
"Not only you, even the East Continent Academy and the Poison God Clan can’t influence the throne contest of the Central Holy Nation!"
Lan Ling said softly.
"These mere three Military Marquises, what are a few tens of millions of troops to this? It’s just the appetizer for the throne battle. In the future, once the real battle for the throne begins, even more, people will die on the Barbaric Ancient Continent." Lan Ling’s expression sank and said solemnly.
"Moreover, the Nanzhou Continent may fall into chaos in just one or two months!"
"So, if you want to leave Nanzhou, you should do it soon."
Lan Ling said softly.
Feng Lingzi frowned and said at this moment, "But I calculated a hexagram for Nanzhou Continent and for the next fifty years, it will be calm and peaceful."
Lan Ling glared at Feng Lingzi with irritation and sneered, "Really? Are your divinations reliable?"
"Hahaha!"
Lan Ling laughed manically looking at Feng Lingzi.
At this time, Lan Ling said, "Lin Bai, I’m going back to the East Continent, as for where you want to go, I won’t interfere, but I want you to understand, every step you take next, you must think carefully before taking action."
"Remember, do not be as wanton and reckless as this time."
Lan Ling spoke earnestly and sincerely.
Lin Bai nodded and said, "I understand!"
Feng Lingzi laughed lightly and said, "Since you’re all leaving, I’ve had enough of staying in Nanzhou, it’s time to take my disciples out to see the world!"
Lin Bai curiously asked, "Where are you going, Uncle Feng?"
Feng Lingzi looked at Lin Bai with a smile and said, "Do I need to account to my nephew where I’m going?"
"Of course not!" Lin Bai laughed bitterly.
Feng Lingzi laughed, "Well, there you go!"
"I plan to take a turn in the Central Holy Nation, with my skills in divination, I might land a position as the Imperial Master there."
Feng Lingzi said with a full smile, "It’s decided then, I’ll go to the Central Holy Nation to be an Imperial Master."
Lan Ling couldn’t help but smile bitterly, and then looked at Feng Lingzi and said, "Be careful."
Feng Lingzi nodded and said, "Don’t worry, the Central Holy Nation hasn’t caught me in over twenty years, they still won’t catch me this time."
Lan Ling nodded slightly.
Then, Lan Ling and Feng Lingzi left the Daogu Tribe successively.
Before departing, Lan Ling took Lan Yuxin with her.
Lin Bai walked down from the mountain top, back into the Daogu Tribe.
While walking along the ancient path of the Daogu Tribe, Lin Bai could faintly hear many warriors of the Daogu Tribe discussing the major events happening on the Nanzhou Continent.
"Have you heard? That battle caused the Poison God Clan to lose nearly more than a thousand Wending Realm strong ones, now the Poison God Clan is seriously injured!"
"..."
"Who would have thought there were so many strong ones beneath the Corpse Burying River!"
"..."
"It’s said that in the mountains outside the Poison God Clan, they found corpses of more than twenty million people, and it’s said these bodies were wearing the battle armor of the Central Holy Nation..., it seems like it’s the army from the Central Holy Nation!"
"..."
"The Young Master Yan Ji of the Emperor Tribe was actually blinded by Ning with one sword, probably affecting his Martial Soul greatly!"
"..."
"The decline of the Poison God Clan, now the sudden rise of the Nanzhou Divine Gate, when the Sword Pavilion Clan and Emperor Tribe were supporting the Poison God Clan, they suddenly attacked the mountain gates of the Emperor Tribe and Sword Pavilion Clan, causing heavy casualties among the warriors of these two great tribes..."
"..."
"Not only that, now the Nanzhou 72 Great Clans seem to consider this as an opportunity for their own tribe’s rise, frantically plundering the resources and territories of surrounding tribes, now nearly half of Nanzhou is engulfed in war!"
"..."
When Lin Bai passed by these warriors, he heard them speak of these matters.
Some matters Lin Bai knew, but some he didn’t know.
But the more he listened, the more Lin Bai felt the complexities of the matters.
