The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

"Isn’t this Lan Yuxin too fierce, cousin, can you handle her?" Hua Yuxian asked with a smile, simultaneously directing her gaze towards Lin Bai.

"Cousin?" Lan Yuxin looked at Hua Yuxian and Lin Bai in surprise.

Hu Xiner heard this title and was completely puzzled!

Lin Bai’s face turned iron green upon hearing Hua Yuxian’s words, his eyes unfriendly as he looked at Hua Yuxian.

Hua Yuxian chuckled, saying, "Cousin, haven’t seen you in years, and now you show me a nasty look upon our first meeting!"

Lin Bai replied indifferently, "Haven’t seen you for years, and the first thing you do is tie me up?"

Hua Yuxian helplessly said, "Cousin, don’t be mad, I had no choice. Without putting on a show, it would not have been easy to fool the Tiger King!"

While speaking, Hua Yuxian waved her hand, and the golden ropes binding Lin Bai and the others immediately loosened, returning to Hua Yuxian’s storage bag.

Standing on the Lonely Mountain, Hua Yuxian gazed into the distant heavens and earth!

Once freed, Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner quickly approached Lin Bai.

The two girls looked at Lin Bai with a face full of surprise.

Lan Yuxin asked, "Lin Bai, what is your relationship with her?"

Hu Xiner was also full of curiosity.

Lin Bai stood up helplessly, looking at Hua Yuxian, he said, "Her name is Hua Yuxian, she’s my cousin!"

Hua Yuxian smiled slightly, turning to look at Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner, she said, "I am Hua Yuxian, no need for an introduction, cousin, I’ve certainly heard of the heiress of the Lan Clan!"

"As for this one, she doesn’t seem to be the Quasi-Saint of the East Continent Academy."

Hua Yuxian looked towards Hu Xiner and said.

Lin Bai said, "Her name is Hu Xiner, she’s my friend."

Hua Yuxian remarked meaningfully, "Oh, a friend..."

Lin Bai’s face darkened, he said coldly, "Don’t overthink it, she’s really just a friend."

Hua Yuxian pursed her lips and said, "I wasn’t overthinking! It’s you who are overthinking, cousin."

Lan Yuxin said quietly, "Lin Bai, since she’s your cousin, how did she become one of the Eight Great Envoys of the Demon Sect?"

Lin Bai glanced at Lan Yuxin and said, "That’s what I’m trying to figure out!"

"You guys take a rest and recover from your injuries, I’ll go have a chat with her!"

Lin Bai said this and then walked towards Hua Yuxian.

He came to stand beside Hua Yuxian, looking over the vast territories leading to the Dynasty of Beasts!

Although Lin Bai asked Hu Xiner and Lan Yuxin to heal their injuries, the two girls paid no mind to healing, instead focusing on listening to Lin Bai and Hua Yuxian’s conversation!

"How are Third uncle and aunt now?"

Standing beside Hua Yuxian, Lin Bai asked.

Hua Yuxian nodded with a smile and said, "They are doing well."

Lin Bai said, "After coming to the East Continent, I wanted to find you guys, but until now, I haven’t had the time!"

Hua Yuxian nodded and said, "I understand, father said there would be many things happening once you arrived in the East Continent!"

"Moreover, you wouldn’t easily find where we live!"

"Let alone, you are now the Saint of the East Continent Academy, with such prestige that countless strong ones would follow a call from you, and beauties surround you, how could you remember us poor relatives!"

Hua Yuxian said the last sentence with a playful smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai’s face immediately turned cold, and he said sternly, "Do you want to be hit? Just because you have achieved the Eighth Level of Death Reversal doesn’t mean you can act recklessly."

"I’m telling you, if I want to deal with you, I definitely can make you obey meekly!"

Hua Yuxian awkwardly laughed and said, "I know, I know! I was wrong, cousin."

"To achieve the position of Saint in the East Continent Academy by relying solely on one’s abilities, without any background support, you certainly have your own confidence!"

"Even if I hadn’t come to save you just now, I suppose cousin would have found a way to escape from the Tiger King!"

"But the cost of that escape should be significant, right?"

Hua Yuxian stated softly.

Lin Bai shook his head and asked, "How did you become one of the Eight Great Envoys of the Demon Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yuxian’s smile faded, she replied coldly, "Not by my own will!"

Lin Bai curiously asked, "Do you carry the Life and Death Talisman?"

Lin Bai turned his head and peeled back the clothing on Hua Yuxian’s neck, revealing her fair skin, upon which nothing was inscribed, she hadn’t been implanted with the Life and Death Talisman.

This puzzled Lin Bai.

It was known that all Demon Sect Martial Artists were implanted with the Life and Death Talisman, facilitating management and assignment by the Demon Sect Master.

Yet, Hua Yuxian was not implanted with the Life and Death Talisman.

Another among the Eight Great Envoys, Shen Qin, did have the Life and Death Talisman.

Hua Yuxian laughed, "I don’t have the Life and Death Talisman!"

Lin Bai asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Hua Yuxian said, "My parents are in the hands of the Demon Sect, I’m forced to work for them! Cousin, I am compelled to do so."

Hua Yuxian looked at Lin Bai with a pitiful expression and said.

Lin Bai’s eyes turned cold, speaking with a chill, "Third uncle and Aunt are in the hands of the Demon Sect?"

Hua Yuxian nodded, "Yes."

"Cousin, please don’t ask further, I am trying to find a way to rescue my parents!"

"Once I rescue my parents, I will leave the Demon Sect immediately."

Lin Bai silently regarded Hua Yuxian, and after a long period, he spoke, "I don’t plan to return to Lingxi City anymore, so relatives in this world are few!"

"Third uncle, aunt, and you, count among my few relatives!"

"I hope you don’t hide anything from me!"

"Though we have had many misunderstandings before, we are connected by blood after all!"

"Do you understand?"

Lin Bai said to Hua Yuxian resolutely.

Hua Yuxian nodded slightly and said, "Cousin, you all should leave, I will handle my own matters! As for the affairs inside the Dynasty of Beasts, as you’ve seen, I cannot influence them at all!"

"I must return now; otherwise, suspicion will arise."

Hua Yuxian said, looking at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai nodded slightly, "Alright!"

Having said that, Hua Yuxian turned and soared into the sky, vanishing from Lin Bai’s sight. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After watching Hua Yuxian disappear, Lin Bai turned back to Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner, noticing the two were listening intently to his conversation with Hua Yuxian. When Lin Bai glanced at them, they pretended to be diligently healing their injuries.

Lin Bai said speechlessly, "Alright, stop pretending. Since you don’t feel like healing here, let’s go to Golden Tree City!"

Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner shared an awkward laugh, simultaneously stood up, took out the Spirit Boat, and the three continued their journey towards Golden Tree City.

Once Lin Bai left, Hua Yuxian reappeared atop the Lonely Mountain, watching Lin Bai on the Spirit Boat, a trace of smile playing on her lips, "It seems cousin knows a lot, he even knows about the Life and Death Talisman..."

Hua Yuxian touched her neck, as a smile danced on her lips, "I really want to know, when cousin sees her... what kind of expression will he have?"
