The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 3168 - 3143: None Can Escape Their Fate

After obtaining the head of the Old Turtle, Gu Qi was overjoyed, immediately bid farewell to the Old Turtle and Lin Bai, and quickly left the hall to make arrangements.

Once Gu Qi and the strong ones of the Daogu Tribe had left, Lin Bai chuckled softly and said, "For all living beings under heaven, cultivating is not easy. Is this what you wanted to say to me?"

The Old Turtle laughed and said, "You shouldn’t overthink it."

Lin Bai chuckled softly and said, "In your heart, am I just a demon that kills without a second thought? Is this why you go to such lengths to avoid following me?"

"More precisely, you don’t want Bauer to follow me?"

From the Old Turtle’s earlier conversation, Lin Bai could see that the Old Turtle seemed to have some reservations about him.

Moreover, when the Old Turtle mentioned involving the Daogu Tribe in the calamity of Nanzhou, he clearly stated that he would not leave Nanzhou with Bauer, nor leave the Daogu Tribe.

Lin Bai, being clever, naturally understood the meaning behind those words.

The Old Turtle didn’t want Bauer to follow Lin Bai!

The Old Turtle laughed and said, "Aren’t you?"

Lin Bai turned around, walked to the entrance of the great hall, looked up at the bright sun in the sky, took a deep breath, and said, "Perhaps you’re right! Bauer following you might indeed be better than following me!"

"Where I’m going, it’s all places where there’s a narrow escape from death!"

"Where I’ve walked, the ground is covered with bones and a sea of blood!"

"Where my eyes reach, there’s smoke everywhere and ruins aplenty!"

"Bauer truly shouldn’t follow me!"

Lin Bai said softly, his back to the Old Turtle.

Even though Lin Bai said this, the Old Turtle could still hear the loneliness and sadness in his words.

The Old Turtle, unwilling to hurt him, said, "Lin Bai, that’s not what I mean. You’re still Bauer’s father. I’m just saying, Bauer is still young. When she grows a bit older, I will let her return to your side..."

Lin Bai looked back at the Old Turtle, nodded, and said, "I understand!"

Suddenly, Lin Bai walked step by step across to Bauer’s side and smiled as he touched Bauer’s cheek.

Bauer looked at Lin Bai with a sweet smile and affectionately called, "Daddy, you pinched me too hard!"

Lin Bai smiled slightly, stood up, and looked at the Old Turtle above Bauer’s head.

His smile on his face faded at this moment, his cold eyes looking into the Old Turtle’s tiny eyes, and he said coldly, "You don’t trust me, and I don’t trust you either!"

"I still stand by what I said!"

"I once said these words to you within the East Continent Academy!"

"I hope you remember, no matter who you are, no matter where you come from, no matter how powerful the force behind you, no matter how profound your cultivation, as long as I find that you have any harm to Bauer, I will come to kill you!"

Lin Bai’s cold eyes were fixed on the Old Turtle’s eyes, and he said coldly and ruthlessly.

The Old Turtle was startled into a stupor by Lin Bai’s icy gaze.

Lin Bai sneered and said, "You can try and see if I can’t kill you!"

"You can come and try, see if the tribesmen of the Sky-swallowing Clan are as strong as the legends say."

Lin Bai said with a cold sneer to the Old Turtle.

Lin Bai’s cold and ruthless words once again sounded a warning bell for the Old Turtle.

The Old Turtle looked at Lin Bai, momentarily speechless.

Lin Bai turned and left, saying, "If you want to stay in Nanzhou, then stay."

After speaking, Lin Bai turned and disappeared from the great hall.

After a while, once Lin Bai had left, the Old Turtle slowly regained his composure, and lowly said, still with a lingering fear, "Sky-swallowing Clan... No wonder the Giant God Clan puts in so much effort to exterminate you, it’s not without reason!"

...

As Lin Bai walked out of the main hall of the Daogu Tribe, he was about to head to his residence.

But halfway there, a laugh echoed by his ears, "I have a pot of wine, enough to comfort the weary, pour it into the rivers and lakes, gift it to all under heaven!"

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Bai turned and looked, seeing at the end of the street, a young man leaning against the wall, holding two wine jugs in his hands.

He held one wine jug up to drink, while the other seemed to be meant for someone else.

Lin Bai chuckled, walked over, and approached this person.

This person handed the untouched wine jug directly to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai opened the jug, took a sip, and smiled, "Your wine is one of the few good wines I’ve tasted!"

The man smiled and said, "Indeed it is good wine, only the strongest wine in the world can warm the coldest people in the world!"

Lin Bai seemed to understand the subtext of the words, and bitterly smiled, "I know I’ve brought chaos to the lands of Nanzhou..."

The man smiled and said, "No! It wasn’t you who brought it, Lin Bai, you think too highly of yourself!"

"The battle with the Poison God Clan was just the prelude to the calamity in Nanzhou, this calamity can’t possibly end anytime soon!"

"So, don’t overestimate yourself, you’re not that capable!"

The man took a gulp of strong wine and said with a smile.

Lin Bai drank a mouthful of wine expressionlessly and said, "But I have indeed brought a lot of trouble to Nanzhou."

The man laughed and said, "Actually, all of this is destined. When the struggle for the throne began, the calamity had already started to shroud Nanzhou!"

Lin Bai took a deep breath and asked, "Shangguan Cun, in the Ancestral Temple of the Southern Continent, you have the Ancient Stele that can predict all things, do you have any remedies, I can contribute!"

The young man standing with Lin Bai was indeed Shangguan Cun!

Shangguan Cun took a sip of wine, laughed freely, and said, "There is no remedy! The Ancient Stele said, all of this is destined!"

"Every struggle for the throne marks a moment for the Barbaric Ancient Continent to change the layout!"

"Nanzhou is like this, East Continent is also like this!"

"It’s just that Nanzhou has taken a step ahead of you!"

Shangguan Cun said with a smile.

Lin Bai asked, "Then since you’ve come here, why is it?"

Shangguan Cun said, "I’m under orders to bring you a message!"

Lin Bai frowned and asked, "What message? Who asked you to deliver it?"

Shangguan Cun smiled and said, "The Ancient Stele!"

Lin Bai pondered and asked, "What message did the Ancient Stele ask you to deliver to me?"

Shangguan Cun smiled and said, "The rise of a killing intent, the calamity is imminent; the descent of the Giant God, all beings cannot escape!"

Lin Bai heard the words from Shangguan Cun and immediately frowned and asked, "What does that mean?"

Shangguan Cun smiled and said, "I don’t know, the Ancient Stele told me to bring the message, how would I know what it means? I still want to ask you what it means?"

"Since I’ve delivered the message, and had my drink, I should head back!"

"Farewell, Lin Bai!"

Shangguan Cun waved his hand and carefree left the Daogu Tribe!
