The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 571 - 570: Sword-serving Cliff

All around the Famous Sword Manor for ten thousand miles, virtually every spot was filled with warriors, all of whom had dared to come and watch the battles from the seven hundred states of Lingdong.

Huge Projection Stone Walls floated in mid-air with the images of various remarkably talented individuals in sword art from Sword-serving Cliff appearing on them.

"This year’s Sword Discourse Conference is really brimming with geniuses."

"Look quick, that’s Feng Yunxiu! This man is known as the uncrowned king, everyone has concluded that he will definitely be this year’s first sword cultivator of Lingdong!"

"That is the Prince of Fire Sword, the crown prince of our Fire Burning Kingdom! Cheer on, Your Highness!"

"Jian Ruohan, the icy aura emanating from this woman, I can even feel it through the Projection Stone Wall."

"All of the eighteen sword masters are truly the cream of the crop!"

"..."

As one prodigy after another appeared on the screen, the whole audience screamed in excitement.

Lishu An came to the foot of Sword-serving Cliff and said to Lin Bai, "Senior Brother Lin Bai, I can only take you this far. Walk up this stone path to the end, and you will reach the Sword-serving Cliff, which is also the starting point of the Sword Discourse Conference."

"What I need to remind Senior Brother Lin Bai is that once you step on the stone path, you can’t turn back."

Lin Bai nodded, "I understand!"

Immediately, Lin Bai stepped onto the stone path with unwavering determination, walked to the end, and ascended the Sword-serving Cliff.

By the time Lin Bai arrived at Sword-serving Cliff, it could be considered rather late. Many warriors had already seized the advantageous terrain on the cliff, ready to strike at a moment’s notice. As soon as the martial arts competition began, they would be the first ones to rush into Wanshou Ridge, passing the three challenges at the fastest speed, and ascending to Sword Discussion City.

With Lin Bai stepping on Sword-serving Cliff, it attracted quite a few glances.

On Sword-serving Cliff, there were now more than thirty thousand sword cultivators standing together. The sword intent emanating from them, like divine swords out of their sheaths, made it so that within ten thousand miles of the sky above the cliff, not a single cloud could be seen.

Even if there were clouds, they were shattered by these people’s sword intentions.

"Is that Lin Bai?"

"Is he the one who received the Famous Sword Manor Invitation at the middle stage of Half-step Divine Pill Realm? I think this guy is nothing more than an ant."

"I really don’t know what despicable means he used to get the Famous Sword Manor Invitation. Humph."

"I also think that, as even I didn’t get the invitation, how could he, a mere warrior at the middle stage of Half-step Divine Pill Realm, could get it?"

"Wait until we are in Wanshou Ridge, I want to try his ability. If he doesn’t have the ability, he doesn’t even qualify to step on Sword Discussion City."

"Among the thirty thousand sword cultivators here, the lowest cultivation realm is the late stage of Half-step Divine Pill Realm. Yet, he, being at the middle stage of Half-step Divine Pill Realm, is simply an eyesore."

"Exactly, how can a martial artist in the middle stage of Half-step Divine Pill Realm step on Sword Discussion City and tarnish this sacred land of sword cultivation!"

"Martial artists under the late stage of Half-step Divine Pill Realm are not worthy of stepping on Sword Discussion City!"

One sword cultivator after another, with soaring arrogance and sneering eyes, looked at Lin Bai.

Even some sword cultivators glared at Lin Bai with murderous intentions. They felt that although they did not get an invitation from the Famous Sword Manor, why should Lin Bai get one?

When Lin Bai stepped onto Sword-serving Cliff, there were indeed many people who resented him.

"Brother Lin."

At this time, Yejian Qiu approached him.

Lin Bai smiled, "Brother Ye."

Yejian Qiu looked around with a bitter smile and said, "What do you think? Didn’t I tell you? You will inevitably become everyone’s target. These sword cultivators are all naturally proud and consider their sword skills unmatched with exceptional talents. They will not accept a martial artist at the middle stage of Half-step Divine Pill Realm."

"Especially when this martial artist also got the Famous Sword Manor Sword Cultivator Martial Arts Competition invitation that they dream of! Do you think they will let it go?"

Lin Bai smiled slightly, "It’s no problem, let them be green-eyed."

Yejian Qiu chuckled, saying, "Be careful during the triple test, Brother Lin. Not all sword cultivators are going to dutifully complete the triple examination. If some people find they are unable to pass, they won’t let others pass either...Such petty tactics are truly a sight for sore eyes!"

Lin Bai nodded and said, "I wasn’t aware of this. Thank you for the warning, Brother Ye."

Yejian Qiu smiled slightly. As his gaze surveyed the surroundings, he said to Lin Bai, "See those three men? They are the Four Sword Emperors of the Famous Sword Manor, Jian Ruohan, Wu Wei, Fu Yiling, and Yuwen Jianguo!"

Following Yejian Qiu’s gaze, Lin Bai indeed saw, beside Jian Ruohan, three cold-faced young men standing.

Each of these men emitted exceptionally sharp second-stage late Sword Intention, their eyes sharp like swords.

"Four Sword Emperors!"

Lin Bai murmured softly.

As Lin Bai looked at them.

Besides Jian Ruohan, Fu Yiling, Wu Wei, and Yuwen Jianguo all gave Lin Bai a contemptuous smirk.

After the quick glance at Lin Bai, they lost interest and instead set their eyes on Feng Yunxiu.

In the eyes of the Four Sword Emperors, their biggest opponent today was Feng Yunxiu.

At that very moment.

The distant Gentle Breeze Hermit looked at Lin Bai and coldly instructed the warrior beside him, "Guys, this man is Lin Bai. Don’t hold back if you meet him later!"

Several friends gathered around the Gentle Breeze Hermit. As they glanced at Lin Bai, they each sneered, "What’s so proud of a warrior in the Middle Stage of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm? We’ll make sure there is no return for him later!"

"Enough, the fate of this kid has come to its end. Daring to harm Gentle Breeze Hermit, he’s tired of living."

The friends of Gentle Breeze Hermit all started yelling.

The Gentle Breeze Hermit’s severed arm, treated with precious Spiritual Medicine by the Famous Sword Manor, had already fully recovered.

Among the crowd, Lin Bai found another pair of murderous eyes.

Lin Bai turned to find the source. Among the crowd, he spotted someone.

"Young Master Yishan, I didn’t expect him to be participating in the martial arts competition."

Looking at the young man, Lin Bai gave a light smile.

At this moment, Young Master Yishan looked at Lin Bai, his eyes filled with brutal, malicious intent, as if he wanted to devour Lin Bai alive with his gaze.

With a glance at Young Master Yishan, Lin Bai retracted his gaze.

Standing next to Young Master Yishan was a woman with a white veil on her face. Her beautiful eyes were filled with curiosity as she looked at Lin Bai, asking, "This is Lin Bai? The one who took the treasury key?"

The expression of Young Master Yishan eased slightly as he respectfully replied, "Yes, Saintess."

"Saintess, you shouldn’t underestimate Lin Bai’s abilities. Although he seems to be at the Middle Stage of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm, the methods he used in battle are surely no weaker than Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm."

The woman laughed and said, "I know. I’ll pay attention to him. If I get a chance later, I’ll kill him and retrieve the key. This way, we won’t have to search for him everywhere after we leave the Famous Sword Manor."

"Also, how many times have I told you not to refer to me as ’Saintess’ outside. Call me Hua Yuxian."

Upon hearing this, Young Master Yishan obeyed, "Yes, Saintess... Miss Yuxian."

Lin Bai and Yejian Qiu stood together, chatting leisurely, not minding the hostile gazes from the crowd.

A moment later, the owner of the Manor, Jian Qianqiu, appeared on top of the sword-serving cliff with a flash of his figure.

"Greetings to Master Jian Qianqiu!"

All thirty thousand sword cultivators bowed simultaneously.

Jian Qianqiu smiled faintly and spoke, "Now, let me explain the rules of the martial arts competition..."
