The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

When the Corpse-eating Ants and Yellow Smoke Bees joined the battlefield in large numbers, it was as if death had arrived; all the warriors of East Continent Academy were utterly powerless against such a multitude of poisons.

Gu Daozhi, the host of the Wending Realm battle, did not look at the battlefield.

Instead, Bai Xiaoxiao, one of the commanders of this battle, was staring intently at the battlefield. Her face grew solemn as she watched warriors mysteriously die one by one.

Bai Xiaoxiao immediately said to Gu Daozhi, "Quick, have all the warriors retreat to Heavenly Destiny Pass, and let the strong ones from your Chen Family of the East Continent Academy fix the Nine Saints Barrier Formation!"

Gu Daozhi replied coldly, "What’s wrong?"

Bai Xiaoxiao said coldly, "The Demon Sect Master has made a move. If the warriors are not withdrawn promptly, it will only lead to more casualties. Withdraw first."

Gu Daozhi looked at the battlefield, countless warriors turned into pus and blood, and some warriors were even completely devoured, leaving no flesh and blood behind.

"All disciples, retreat to Heavenly Destiny Pass!"

Gu Daozhi took out the Sound Transmission Token at that moment, using a method unique to East Continent Academy to transmit the order to each warrior of the academy.

In an instant, the disciples of East Continent Academy on the battlefield immediately retreated and returned to Heavenly Destiny Pass.

Meanwhile, within Heavenly Destiny Pass, Tiger King and Snake King, along with the remaining Wending Realm strong ones of Tiangang Thirty-Six Stars, charged out of Heavenly Destiny Pass to encounter the strong ones of the Demon Sect.

The battlefield between East Continent Academy and the Demon Sect reopened!

After more than half a day of combat, it seems both sides have returned to the starting point!

Seeing countless warriors from East Continent Academy retreat to Heavenly Destiny Pass, Bai Xiaoxiao took out a Sound Transmission Token from her Storage Bag and said faintly, "Have they arrived?"

After a while, a childish voice came from the Sound Transmission Token, "Already arrived at Jianghai Region."

Upon hearing this voice, Bai Xiaoxiao let out a long breath; her tense expression finally found a bit of relief, showing a slight smile on her face.

"The war is only just beginning now!"

Bai Xiaoxiao said coldly.

All the warriors of East Continent Academy retreated within Heavenly Destiny Pass, while the Chen Family warriors of East Continent Academy were fully repairing the Nine Saints Barrier Formation.

Now, the several strong ones at the Great Perfection of the Wending Realm—Gu Lianxing, Gutian Xuan, Lan Yuanshan, Lan Yuanqing, Chen Xinghe, Kong Wu, Zhang Xifeng, and Shi Ziliang—also stood on the city wall.

Gu Daozhi and the Outer Sect Master took a deep breath.

All the quasi Holy Sons also returned to Heavenly Destiny Pass. In this battle, none of the quasi Holy Sons perished. Although many were severely injured, luckily, none were in life-threatening danger.

Lin Bai and Lan Yuxin came beside Bai Xiaoxiao, standing not far from Gu Daozhi.

In front, before Heavenly Destiny Pass, numerous Demon Sect martial artists gathered, appearing before the Nine Saints Barrier Formation.

In the air, the sky-filled Yellow Smoke Bees covered the firmament, densely appearing outside the Great Array.

Underground, Lin Bai could vaguely see some bronze-colored ants emerge from the ground but then disappear back below the earth, vanishing without a trace.

Before the Great Array, Four Great Dharma Kings, Tiangang Thirty-Six Stars, Seventy-two Earthly Demons, and the remaining Heavenly Palace’s 108 Generals stood in a line, looking towards Heavenly Destiny Pass.

Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at Lin Bai and said faintly, "The Demon Sect Master has already taken action; it seems she is losing patience and intends to fight with full force!"

"Lin Bai, are you ready?"

Bai Xiaoxiao asked coldly.

Lin Bai smiled slightly and said, "I’ve been fighting on the battlefield for half a day, and now you ask if I’m ready? I’ve naturally prepared thoroughly!"

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded expressionlessly, "That’s good!"

At that moment, Bai Xiaoxiao’s body slowly flew into the air, appearing at the edge of the Nine Saints Barrier Formation, clad in an imperial robe, her peerless empress demeanor making all the warriors under heaven exclaim in amazement.

"Can it be that such a significant event as attacking Jianghai Region only involves these few strong ones from your Demon Sect?"

"Demon Sect Master, since you’re here, why not show yourself."

Bai Xiaoxiao vocally challenged.

The Four Great Dharma Kings looked at Bai Xiaoxiao emotionlessly, their expressions unmoved.

Behind the Four Great Dharma Kings, amidst innumerable black-clothed warriors, a passage was slowly cleared, as if an important figure was gradually walking through!

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the passage, through the wolf smoke ahead, she seemed to see a woman slowly walking up.

"The Demon Sect Master is coming?"

"The war has been fought for so long, and we have yet to meet the Demon Sect Master."

"Indeed, it’s said that every place the Demon Sect Master traverses is left barren; even if someone has seen her, they’ve already died!"

"I wonder if the Demon Sect Master truly relies on three heads and six arms to stir such great chaos in the East Continent."

On the city wall, one by one, the disciples of East Continent Academy held their breath, looking intently at the Demon Sect martial artists in front.

Lin Bai’s gaze also followed.

Lin Bai was equally curious about who this Demon Sect Master could be!

Amidst the Demon Sect martial artists, a powerful aura emanated from the passage, striking upon the Nine Saints Barrier Formation.

"I wondered who was orchestrating the array within Jianghai Region; turns out it’s Emperor Xiao of Shenwu Kingdom. I didn’t expect you’d come to Jianghai Region to oversee the battle?" A gentle laughter from a woman’s voice was heard.

Within that passage, a white snake over a hundred meters long slowly appeared in the sights of all present.

When Lin Bai saw that white snake, his eyes showed a hint of shock.

This white snake, Lin Bai could never forget!

Because once, Lingdong of the territory of all nations was almost destroyed by this very white snake!

And this white snake is also the sacred beast of the Lingdong Five Poison Sect, perpetually in slumber.

In the battle of Lingdong years ago, the Five Poisons Sect Leader took desperate measures and awakened this white snake; back then, if not for Lin Bai and Hong Su joining forces, with Hong Su using "Sleep Song" to forcibly lull the white snake to sleep, otherwise, all the warriors of Lingdong would have died at the hands of this white snake!

"It’s her!"

Lin Bai looked at the white snake in a daze.

Then, when the white snake appeared in the eyes of all warriors.

All warriors slightly lifted their gaze, they all saw, standing atop the white snake’s head, was a barefooted white-robed woman, her face breathtakingly beautiful, her red lips alluring.

Her head of white hair swayed in the wind; she didn’t seem like a fallen celestial maiden, but rather a seductive witch intending to capture souls!

And when Lin Bai saw the barefoot white-robed woman atop the white snake’s head, his emotions collapsed, his pupils shattered, and even the demonic sword tightly gripped by Lin Bai unintentionally fell to the ground.

Clang—

The demonic sword slipped from Lin Bai’s hand, embedded into the ground.

Beside Lin Bai, Lan Yuxin stared at Lin Bai in shock; she knew well, a Sword Cultivator would never let go of his Treasure Sword!

Yet now, Lin Bai could not even hold his sword!

Lan Yuxin saw Lin Bai’s expression was filled with extreme terror as he looked at the white-robed woman with a look of disbelief, hesitated for a long while, and with a trembling voice, he lightly called out: "Ye Suxin..."
