The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 3203 - 3178: Out of Luck

"Ah ah ah ah ah..." The dozen or so Governor’s Guards were lying on the ground, wailing incessantly.

Lin Bai’s face was frosty. Holding the Demonic Sword, he coldly said, "Get lost!"

The dozen or so Governor’s Guards got up, looked at Lin Bai, and said coldly, "Alright, alright, kid, you’ve got one foot in Yama Hall now. We won’t let this go easily. Just wait, you won’t get out of Qingyun City!"

"Let’s go!"

With that, the dozen or so Governor’s Guards stood up and turned to leave.

While Lin Bai was dismissing the Governor’s Guards, the Sloppy Old Man fell into deep thought. He kept saying to himself, "He is Lin Bai!"

"Could the things he wanted to investigate be the ones from over twenty years ago?"

"No, I can’t let him go to his death so quickly!"

The Sloppy Old Man smiled slightly, looked at Lin Bai, and said, "I never thought your cultivation was this impressive, kid."

Lin Bai sheathed the Demonic Sword and said quietly, "It’s not that I’m too strong; they’re too weak. Just a mere dozen or so warriors from the Death Reversal realm — where did they get the courage to dare act in front of me?"

"Can’t they see my cultivation is in the Wending realm?"

The Sloppy Old Man, Su Jin, said, "They can naturally see it, but they’re relying on their backing!"

"They know you don’t dare kill them, because their background is significant!"

"They are the Governor’s Guards, warriors cultivated by the Governor of Longhe County!"

"In other words, they are the Governor’s minions, his lackeys, and also the Governor’s confidants!"

"For example, the young man who just came in — he is the Governor’s brother-in-law!"

Su Jin said calmly.

When Lin Bai heard this, his expression slightly tensed. He looked at Su Jin and said, "Why didn’t you say so earlier!"

Su Jin laughed and said, "You didn’t ask!"

Lin Bai said helplessly, "Now, tell me immediately how to get into the Celestial Monitoring Ministry?"

Su Jin said, "The Celestial Monitoring Ministry is the place that manages the Central Holy Nation’s hidden archives. Naturally, it’s not a place where ordinary warriors can enter. Even the Four Great Princes of today’s Central Holy Nation need the Emperor’s permission to enter to examine the archives, so it’s extremely difficult for ordinary warriors to enter the Celestial Monitoring Ministry!"

"Moreover, the archives of the Celestial Monitoring Ministry contain various secrets of the Central Holy Nation, such as the country’s defense, military formations, secret realm cultivation locations, and more — how could such an important place allow people to enter freely?"

Upon hearing Su Jin’s words, Lin Bai more or less understood that entering would be quite difficult.

However, at that moment, Su Jin said, "But I know how to enter!"

Lin Bai asked, "How to enter?"

Su Jin laughed and said, "Ah, I’m feeling a bit tired now. Let’s find a place to sleep first..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai immediately understood that Su Jin was stalling him again.

Without hesitation, Lin Bai coldly said, "I remember those Governor’s Guards saying that they’ve poisoned the hot spring, your meridians and Dantian are sealed, meaning your life is completely in my hands now!"

"If you don’t speak, I’ll kill you now!"

Saying this, Lin Bai walked toward Su Jin, drew the Demonic Sword, and pointed its cold blade at Su Jin’s throat, speaking icily and mercilessly.

Su Jin smiled slightly and said, "Do you really think those second-rate poisons can hold me?"

As he spoke, Su Jin flew up, shaking off Lin Bai’s sword edge, and darted to the door, looking at Lin Bai and saying, "Lin Bai, in today’s Central Holy Nation, there are few who can help you enter the Celestial Monitoring Ministry, and I’m one of them!"

"If you want to enter the Celestial Monitoring Ministry to inquire about the events of over twenty years ago, meet me in the mountains a hundred thousand miles outside Qingyun City at dusk tomorrow!"

After speaking, Su Jin turned around and disappeared from this separate courtyard.

"What remarkable movement technique!"

Lin Bai watched Su Jin leave, his expression tensed: "He actually knows my name? Doesn’t he claim to be a warrior from the Central Holy Nation? How could he recognize me at a glance?"

Just as Lin Bai wondered, Su Jin’s laughter echoed again in the room: "Oh, by the way, let me remind you, the Governor’s Guards have considerable influence within the county mansion. You’ve just offended the Governor’s Guards, so be careful — in this Qingyun City, there are quite a few gangs and families that want to curry favor with the Governor using the Guards!"

"You, newly arrived in the Central Holy Nation, should really take in the local customs and culture here."

The voice of the Old Wine Ghost Su Jin rang out again.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai’s expression sank, and he immediately walked out of the separate courtyard.

But before Lin Bai could leave the courtyard, the woman who had escorted him in earlier stopped him, smiling and said, "Sir, you haven’t given the Spirit Liquid yet?"

Lin Bai asked, "How much?"

The woman covered her mouth and laughed, "Five billion Spirit Liquid!"

Lin Bai expressionlessly tossed out five billion Spirit Liquid from his Storage Bag, intending to leave.

But at this moment, the woman stopped Lin Bai again and said, "Oh oh oh, sorry, I made a mistake, it’s not five billion, it’s fifty billion Spirit Liquid!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai’s expression turned cold: "Are you kidding me?"

The woman laughed and said, "If you don’t have Spirit Liquid, then please stay here. I’ve prepared a room for you, and for the next few days, your food, drink, and entertainment here won’t cost you, just stay!"

"Heh!" Lin Bai paused, hearing this, he understood. This was the work of the Governor’s Guards who had instructed the woman to stop him from leaving.

"Move aside!"

Lin Bai said coldly.

The woman shook her head and said, "No!"

Lin Bai no longer wasted words, and with a shock of spiritual power, he sent the woman flying.

"What audacity, daring to take action here!"

At that moment, seven warriors of the second level of the Wending realm leaped out of the surrounding darkness, surrounding Lin Bai.

Lin Bai said coldly, "Coming to court death?"

The seven responded coldly, "You dare offend Young Master Qin Yun of the Governor’s Guards, and think to leave so easily? Young Master Qin Yun has ordered that you must be kept here!"

Lin Bai said, "What if I insist on leaving?"

The seven’s expressions turned icy as they said, "Then don’t blame us for being rude! Break his arms and legs, destroy his Dantian — after all, Young Master Qin Yun said he only wants you alive!"

"Attack!"

With those words, the seven lunged at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai’s expression remained ice-cold as the Demonic Sword from his Storage Bag roared out, a single, icy sword light swept across the seven’s throats.

In an instant, all seven dropped to the ground, their blood flowing like a river across the floor.

"Ah!" The woman was dumbfounded as she watched this scene, witnessing a single sword killing seven warriors of the second level of the Wending realm.

After glaring at the woman, Lin Bai stepped out and left the courtyard.

When Lin Bai walked out of the courtyard, there was a young man dressed in a blue winter coat, riding a steed, blocking Lin Bai’s path on the street ahead. He smiled lightly and said, "Qingyun City, Mo Family, Mo Qingshu, I ask this brother not to leave Qingyun City!"

Lin Bai took one look at him and directly turned, intending to leave in another direction.

But at that moment, more than a hundred warriors came in mighty numbers from that direction, each ferocious, glaring at Lin Bai, saying, "The Dragon Wolf Gang, also asks this brother not to leave Qingyun City!"

Lin Bai shook his head slightly, sighed, and said, "How fickle is fortune! I didn’t expect to have to take action and kill on my first day in the Central Holy Nation!"
