The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

"Now that the warriors willing to come to support the Jianghai Region from the East Continent have basically arrived, I wonder what Emperor Xiao plans to do next?" The Great Witch Emperor asked solemnly.

Bai Xiaoxiao replied, "Earlier, I had the Order Divine Court arrange the layout within the Jianghai Region. I wonder how it is now?"

The Great Witch Emperor said, "It has been arranged according to Emperor Xiao’s plans. The Jianghai Region has been divided into four battle zones. The eastern battle zone is handled by my Great Witch Dynasty!"

"The northern battle zone is managed by the Jiang Clan!"

"The western battle zone is handled by other supporting warriors!"

"The southern battle zone is managed by the disciples of the East Continent Academy!"

The Great Witch Emperor said.

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, "This arrangement is the best. Then we don’t need to do anything further, we just need to wait now!"

The Great Witch Emperor asked, "Wait? But how long must we wait? Emperor Xiao knows that such strong figures entering Jianghai Region is already a disadvantage for Jianghai Region!"

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, "I understand the concerns of Jianghai Region; we don’t need to wait long. I anticipate that within three months, the Demon Sect will act!"

"If the Demon Sect remains silent for three months, it means they have already decided to give up."

"We can stop waiting then."

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded and said.

The Great Witch Emperor, looking around, noticed that the warriors seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Bai Xiaoxiao’s decision.

But given that so many strong figures had already arrived, the Great Witch Emperor could only grit his teeth and uphold his stance.

"Alright, as Emperor Xiao said, let’s wait for three months. If the Demon Sect doesn’t appear, we’ll make our decision then!" The Great Witch Emperor nodded and said.

"Then everyone, please return to your own battle zones for now. If any unusual circumstances arise, contact us promptly."

The warriors present stood up, saluted the Great Witch Emperor, and subsequently left the imperial palace of the Great Witch Dynasty.

At this moment, the Great Witch Emperor said to Bai Xiaoxiao, "Emperor Xiao, I have prepared the imperial residence for you and the Saint of the East Continent Academy; please go to rest!"

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, "Thank you."

After saying this, a maid led Bai Xiaoxiao and Lin Bai to the imperial residence.

After Bai Xiaoxiao left, the Great Witch Emperor sat on the dragon throne, deep in thought.

Wu He came to the Great Witch Emperor, speaking coldly, "Father, are we really going to follow Xiao Emperor’s words?"

The Great Witch Emperor replied coldly, "What choice do we have now? The Order Divine Court appointed Emperor Xiao to command this battle, apparently trusting her greatly!"

"Meanwhile, our Great Witch Dynasty cannot offend the Order Divine Court!"

"After all, the Order Divine Court summoned the Sword Realm Warriors and Soul-breaking Area Warriors out of the Territories to support the Jianghai Region!"

"If we break with the Order Divine Court now, Jianghai Region’s current strength won’t be able to resist the Demon Sect’s strong figures."

The Great Witch Emperor replied coldly, "If not for the Order Divine Court’s support, how could she, a mere girl, dictate from the Golden Palace!"

Wu He silently nodded.

The Great Witch Emperor asked, "Wu He, how is the task I assigned to you going?"

Wu He replied, "The task Father assigned to me, I’ve already started. Recently, I’ve invited all the strong figures arriving in Jianghai Region to gather at the imperial palace!"

The Great Witch Emperor smiled in satisfaction, "Good, with the East Continent in chaos, many warriors are displaced, and many strong figures are homeless. This is the perfect time to recruit them!"

"Once we pass this East Continent catastrophe and the Great Witch Dynasty absorbs all these strong figures, then after the catastrophe, our Great Witch Dynasty will become the greatest dynasty in the East Continent!"

"At that time, the Great Witch Dynasty will definitely possess the strength to challenge the East Continent Academy!"

"Then, our Great Witch Dynasty will become the ruler of the East Continent!"

"This is an opportunity for the Great Witch Dynasty!"

"Let’s see if Jianghai Region can endure through this catastrophe."

The Great Witch Emperor’s face showed joy but even more concern!

Wu He said, "Father, while we’re recruiting strong figures into the Great Witch Dynasty, it seems that the Jiang Clan is also recruiting..."

The Great Witch Emperor replied coldly, "The Jiang Clan, don’t bother with them, just focus on our own tasks."

Wu He nodded, "Yes!"

The Great Witch Emperor laughed, "Son, you must work hard. If you succeed in this task and recruit more strong figures, then you will be the ruler of the East Continent!"

"Even in front of the Central Holy Nation, you’ll have some standing!"

Upon hearing this, Wu He couldn’t help but smile, "Father, can I make a request?"

The Great Witch Emperor nodded, "Of course, the future East Continent is ours, you can ask for anything."

Wu He said, "After this matter is settled, I’d like Father to kill Lin Bai; I want to become the Saint of the East Continent Academy!"

The Great Witch Emperor smiled, "No problem!"

Wu He was overjoyed.

...

At the imperial residence, the Order Divine Court instructed Lin Bai, Lan Yuxin, and Li Jiuge to protect Bai Xiaoxiao.

Though called protection, it was more like surveillance.

After arriving at the imperial residence, Bai Xiaoxiao immediately shut her door, seeing no one but Chu Jiangliu.

However, Lin Bai could tell that Chu Jiangliu and Bai Xiaoxiao had been particularly busy these days, seemingly arranging something.

Lin Bai walked in the garden of the imperial residence, watching Chu Jiangliu emerge from Bai Xiaoxiao’s courtyard.

Chu Jiangliu approached with a solemn face, cupping his fists, "Sword Prince!"

Lin Bai asked, "Has it started?"

Chu Jiangliu nodded seriously, "Whether or not the Demon Sect comes, Emperor Xiao’s plan is set to begin! I must now leave the Jianghai Region and return to the Southern Corner’s 180 Domains to oversee the battle there!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Lin Bai patted Chu Jiangliu’s shoulder, "You’ve worked hard!"

Chu Jiangliu smiled bitterly, "The Chu Family has been loyal to the Bai Dynasty for generations; I’m no exception. Besides, I believe Emperor Xiao is a great monarch of ancient times; to be trusted by her is an honor in my life!"

Lin Bai smiled and nodded.

Watching Chu Jiangliu, Lin Bai felt a deep admiration; if not for Chu Jiangliu’s years of fighting battles, Bai Xiaoxiao’s realm wouldn’t be this stable.

Moreover, Chu Jiangliu has his own strength and capability to wage war across Under Heaven!

Chu Jiangliu said, "Then Sword Prince, I’ll take my leave!"

Lin Bai nodded.

Chu Jiangliu cupped his fists and turned to leave.

But after taking a few steps, he hesitated, turned back toward Lin Bai, and said, "Sword Prince..."

Lin Bai asked, "Is there something else?"

Chu Jiangliu hesitated for a long time but finally said through gritted teeth, "Sword Prince, regardless of any decision or action Emperor Xiao takes in the future, please know she bears no ill will toward you!"

"She doesn’t want to hurt you nor see you hurt!"

"But whether she tells you certain things is her fault, and not telling you is also her fault!"

"I hope the Sword Prince can understand the circumstances of Emperor Xiao!"

"I take my leave."

After saying this strange sentence, Chu Jiangliu hurriedly departed the Jianghai Region.

Lin Bai frowned as he watched Chu Jiangliu’s departing figure, muttering to himself, "Xiaoxiao, indeed, you are hiding something from me, what is it exactly?"

"What is being concealed, where telling me is her mistake and not telling is also her mistake?"

"Is it about the Demon Sect?"

"Is this why she has been particularly cold to me these days?"

Lin Bai pondered deeply.
