The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

After temporarily parting with Hua Yuxian, Lin Bai, along with Hu Xiner and Lan Yuxin, turned and headed straight for Golden Tree City inside the Dynasty of Beasts.

Before the Dynasty of Beasts fell, the disciples of the East Continent Academy had once pleaded for help from the East Continent Academy. At that time, the Order Divine Court had instructed them to evacuate to Golden Tree City first.

On the journey to Golden Tree City, Lin Bai stood on the Spirit Boat, gazing far into the distance ahead.

Ever since Lin Bai had reunited with Hua Yuxian, he felt increasingly uneasy.

Especially Hua Yuxian’s words—they were riddled with inconsistencies!

"Hua Yuxian’s words are definitely not true!"

"Full of loopholes!"

"But she doesn’t want to speak, and I can’t force her to open up!"

Lin Bai shook his head and said with a bitter smile.

When Lin Bai was conversing with Hua Yuxian, he could tell that she was hiding something from him, but he didn’t press further. After all, at this moment, it wasn’t the time for Lin Bai and Hua Yuxian to tear each other apart, nor was it the time to rectify internal issues.

Golden Tree City, located outside the Dynasty of Beasts and within the Thousands of Demons Area, was considered a vast city.

After the fall of the Dynasty of Beasts, the warriors across the Thousands of Demons Area were panic-stricken and flocked to Golden Tree City for mutual support. If the Demon Sect intended to attack Golden Tree City, the warriors in the Thousands of Demons Area would fight to the death!

Three days later, Lin Bai and his companions sped through the sky and arrived at Golden Tree City.

From a great distance, Lin Bai stood on the Spirit Boat and saw that Golden Tree City was already overcrowded, with barely any empty space even on the streets.

And still, a large number of warriors were arriving at Golden Tree City from all directions.

Spirit Boats sailed one after another towards Golden Tree City.

Lin Bai’s Spirit Boat slowly approached as well.

Outside Golden Tree City, a golden glow, much like a Magic Circle, protected the city within.

"Why won’t you let us in? We’ll pay the entrance fee in Spirit Liquid."

"Let us in!"

"Please, let us in."

Many Spirit Boats stopped before Golden Tree City, unable to enter.

Countless warriors stood on the Spirit Boats, shouting towards the interior of Golden Tree City.

"What’s going on?" Lan Yuxin said with a somewhat strange expression.

Lin Bai also frowned, looking at Golden Tree City.

It wasn’t until Lin Bai’s Spirit Boat reached the vicinity of Golden Tree City that he heard clearly what was happening.

On the city walls of Golden Tree City, a warrior in armor said solemnly, "Ladies and gentlemen, Golden Tree City is now overcrowded. The City Lord has ordered that only warriors above the Yin Saint Realm are allowed to enter the city!"

"As for the other warriors, Golden Tree City will no longer host them."

"Furthermore, to enter Golden Tree City, you must pledge allegiance to the City Lord!"

The armored warrior said coldly.

Upon understanding, Lin Bai looked around at the warriors.

Currently, outside Golden Tree City, there were about tens of thousands of Spirit Boats, each one crowded with warriors.

Lin Bai estimated that outside Golden Tree City, there were about 100,000 warriors, all hoping to seek refuge in Golden Tree City!

However, Golden Tree City was already overcrowded and could not accommodate more warriors, so the City Lord ordered that only warriors above the Yin Saint Realm were allowed to enter.

Lan Yuxin said coldly, "Only warriors above the Yin Saint Realm are allowed into the city, but most of the warriors on the Spirit Boats are below the Yin Saint Realm. If they can’t find a refuge and wander outside, wouldn’t that be very dangerous!"

Hu Xiner said calmly, "But Golden Tree City is only so large; you saw it yourself—through the Magic Circle, you can see that the streets within Golden Tree City are packed with warriors, and it can’t accommodate any more."

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "Let’s get inside and find the disciples of the East Continent Academy to come up with a plan!"

This was Golden Tree City’s regulation, and Lin Bai had no way to resist it.

Thus, Lin Bai guided his Spirit Boat forward, arriving before the Magic Circle. With a flash of his hand, an Identity Token appeared. In a cold voice, he said, "I am the Saint Lin Bai of the East Continent Academy!"

"Let me ask you, are there any warriors from the East Continent Academy here?"

Lin Bai approached the Magic Circle and directly asked coldly.

Upon seeing Lin Bai’s Identity Token, the armored warrior’s eyes flashed with recognition. He quickly saluted with clasped fists, saying, "So it’s the Saint of the East Continent Academy. Indeed, there are quite a few warriors from the East Continent Academy inside Golden Tree City!"

"Please, Saint, come in. I’ll take you to the East Continent Academy’s warriors!"

Immediately, the armored warrior opened the Magic Circle to allow Lin Bai’s Spirit Boat to enter.

After entering Golden Tree City, Lin Bai turned back and saw the other warriors on the Spirit Boats outside the Magic Circle looking enviously at his Spirit Boat.

Feeling a twinge of regret, Lin Bai turned away and sped off with his Spirit Boat.

The Spirit Boat flew through Golden Tree City for a while and soon arrived at East City.

The armored warrior said, "Saint, the warriors of the East Continent Academy have all been arranged by the City Lord to stay within East City. Among them, there are also a few Quasi-Holy Sons resting here!"

"Alright!" Lin Bai nodded slightly, stepping out and entering East City.

As the Spirit Boat entered East City, Lin Bai immediately saw the flags of the East Continent Academy hanging throughout the streets.

"Saint Senior Brother!"

"The Saint Senior Brother is here!"

Seeing Lin Bai on the Spirit Boat, many warriors of the East Continent Academy in East City shouted joyfully.

Just then, more than a dozen warriors flew out of a palace. Their cultivation was profound, but their expressions were solemn, quickly approaching Lin Bai.

"Saint Lin Bai!"

"Greetings, Saint Senior Brother!"

"Greetings, Saint!"

Upon arriving before Lin Bai, these dozen warriors clasped their fists in a salute.

Lin Bai raised his head, seeing among these dozen individuals, four were Quasi Holy Sons of the East Continent Academy, including Leng Qianxue and Chen Qing from the North Courtyard, and Xian Qi Zhang and Hua Muqing from the Southern Yard!

Lin Bai said, "Leng Qianxue, Chen Qing, Xian Qi Zhang, Hua Muqing!"

Xian Qi Zhang said excitedly, "Saint Senior Brother, you finally arrived. We previously received a message from the Order Divine Court of the East Continent Academy saying you had reached the Dynasty of Beasts and were on your way to Golden Tree City."

"But these recent days passed, and you still hadn’t arrived, so we thought you might have encountered some trouble."

"Seeing you’re okay is such a relief."

Xian Qi Zhang laughed and said, "Come, let’s go inside and talk."

Lin Bai nodded slightly and entered the Great Hall with the four Quasi Holy Sons.

Once inside, Lin Bai immediately asked, "How did this happen? How did the Dynasty of Beasts fall so quickly? I previously sent a message to the Order Divine Court alerting them that the Demon Sect’s next target was the Dynasty of Beasts!"

"Why wasn’t the Dynasty of Beasts prepared?"

Lin Bai looked at Leng Qianxue, Chen Qing, Xian Qi Zhang, and others, puzzled and confused, as he asked.
