Chapter 2735: Chapter 2710: Lin Bai’s Identity!

Looking at the Treasure Box placed in front of him by Tangjing Xiu, Lin Bai’s expression remained unchanged. He took it lightly, glanced at it, and said in a low voice, "Patriarch Tang, are you injured? To obtain this Treasure Box, your Tang Family must have paid a considerable price!"

Tangjing Xiu replied softly, "It’s no matter. Lin Bai, Guest Official, you may open it and see. If there are no issues, I hope you can fulfill your promise!"

Lin Bai took the Treasure Box, flipped it open, and inside was a thick tome, emitting an aura of age and history. The cover boldly marked with the five large characters of "Houtu Divine Thunder Skill"!

In front of Tangjing Xiu, Lin Bai slowly opened the tome, reading each word of its contents carefully.

"It is indeed the Houtu Divine Thunder Skill!"

After finishing, Lin Bai nodded slightly and said.

Having already cultivated the "Qingmu Divine Thunder Secret Skill" and the "Black Water Divine Thunder Skill", which is originally aligned with the "Houtu Divine Thunder Skill", Lin Bai knew at a glance that this tome was genuine!

Moreover, Lin Bai also discovered the cultivation manual for "the Five-Thundered Skill" within it.

Tangjing Xiu said, "It is undoubtedly real; it is one of the nine copies imprinted within the Wang Family clan!"

"Since Lin Bai, Guest Official, has acknowledged this as the true ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill,’ then your promise..."

Tangjing Xiu asked at that moment.

Lin Bai took a deep breath and said, "I stated before, whoever provides me with the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill,’ I will assist them in the Dragon City Battle to seize the Commander Flag!"

"Since the Tang Family has given me what I desire, then within the Dragon City Battle, I shall exert all efforts on behalf of the Tang Family to seize the Commander Flag, enabling the Tang Family to become the next City Lord of Black Water City!"

Lin Bai spoke seriously.

Tangjing Xiu’s expression lit up with joy, clasping his fists and said, "Please, Lin Bai, Guest Official, keep your word. There are five days left until the Dragon City Battle. Please rest well, Lin Bai, Guest Official!"

"If there are any requirements, feel free to ask Yuezhi. The Tang Family will do its utmost to fulfill them!"

"I am unwell and will retire to rest first."

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s agreement, Tangjing Xiu promptly left.

Lin Bai saw off Tangjing Xiu, letting Lin Ye train by himself, while Lin Bai entered the Secret Chamber directly to delve deeply into the "Houtu Divine Thunder Skill".

...

Tangjing Xiu and his daughter Tang Yuezhi walked out of Lin Bai’s small courtyard. Not far away, Tangjing Xiu’s face suddenly turned white, staggering as he clutched his chest and coughed up blood.

"Father." Tang Yuezhi hurriedly stepped forward, supporting Tangjing Xiu, asking, "Father, are you alright!"

Tangjing Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "I’m fine!"

"Let’s go!"

Supported by Tang Yuezhi, Tangjing Xiu staggered back into the Main Hall.

At that moment, inside the Tang Family Main Hall, three shadows awaited again, all with weak breaths and numerous injuries on their bodies!

"Did he promise?"

Seeing Tangjing Xiu and Tang Yuezhi return, these three shadows immediately inquired.

Tangjing Xiu sat down, nodded slightly, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing these three shadows, Tang Yuezhi understood they were among the Tang Family’s Six Elders, these six elders possessing immense strength, being the true pillars of the Tang Family.

Though, at this moment, only three were present, the whereabouts of the other three unknown!

"I hope he can truly help the Tang Family seize the Commander Flag."

"There is no other option; he is our last hope!"

"Jing Xiu, are we doing the right thing?"

The three shadows asked in a somewhat somber tone.

Tang Yuezhi, standing beside Tangjing Xiu with a puzzled expression, didn’t understand what her father and the three Elders were discussing.

Moreover, Tang Yuezhi was very curious about where exactly Tangjing Xiu obtained the Houtu Divine Thunder Skill!

Tangjing Xiu coldly smiled and said, "Esteemed Elders, I made this decision for the sake of the Tang Family, and also, this is the Tang Family’s final move!"

"If the Tang Family cannot capture the Commander Flag, becoming the City Lord, then soon enough, the Tang Family will be devoured by the other seven families!"

"So, this battle is the Tang Family’s opportunity, one I must seize!"

"And the heavens have not abandoned my Tang Family, for at this critical juncture, they have sent Lin Bai to aid us!"

"This is a fortune for the Tang Family!"

Though Tangjing Xiu’s face was pale, he smiled happily.

The three Elders whispered, "Is this Warrior Lin Bai truly worth us infiltrating Houtu City at night to seize the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’? For this, even leading to one death, one injury, and one unconscious among the others!"

Tang Yuezhi was instantly terrified upon hearing this.

Tang Yuezhi thought with shock, "What! Father, along with the Six Elders, actually broke into Houtu City at night, stealing the Houtu Divine Thunder Skill from the Wang Family?"

"For this, the other three Elders ended up in such dire straits, one perished, one heavily injured, and one unconscious..."

"Paying such a huge price just to enlist Lin Bai’s assistance?"

Tang Yuezhi exclaimed incredulously.

The three Elders remained somewhat concerned about Lin Bai’s strength, since Lin Bai’s cultivation was merely at the Death Reversal Realm Seventh Layer.

Tangjing Xiu laughed wildly and said, "Of course, he knows! Esteemed Elders, you have been secluded for many years, seldom venturing the Northern Continent, even less regarding the Barbaric Ancient Continent’s happenings!"

"You surely don’t know about the illustrious background of Lin Bai, Guest Official!"

"Today, within the Black Water City Fighting Arena, able to defeat the Sword Demon Xu Guang, Lin Bai of the Barbaric Ancient Continent! On the East Continent, he holds another identity..."

"Lin Bai is the Saint of the East Continent Academy!"

"The East Continent’s foremost Tianjiao!"

"Now, legends about him circulate even outside of East Continent!"

"Esteemed Elders, if you were now to visit East Continent, upon mentioning Lin Bai, these two names, everyone knows!"

"Demonic Sword Purple Hui, Saint of the East Continent!"

Tangjing Xiu said with a smile.

"With this Saint of the East Continent assisting, the Tang Family capturing the City Lord of Black Water City is at our fingertips!"

Tangjing Xiu’s face beaming with joy.

The three Elders were shocked upon hearing Tangjing Xiu’s words, "What! Lin Bai is actually the Saint of the East Continent Academy? Why wouldn’t he stay at the East Continent Academy to cultivate, but come to the Northern Continent?"

Tang Yuezhi’s beautiful eyes widened, staring dumbfounded at Tangjing Xiu.

Tangjing Xiu shook his head and said, "Unknown, but the news of Lin Bai being the Saint of the East Continent Academy is definite, spread from within the Fighting Arena!"

The three Elders said, "Since the news comes from the Fighting Arena, naturally it won’t be false, it seems indeed our Tang Family has hope to rise again!"

Upon hearing of Lin Bai’s identity, the three Elders’ faces brightened with delight.

The three Elders said with a laugh, "If possible, with the Tang Family succeeding in allying with the Saint of East Continent Academy, even if survival in the Northern Continent becomes hard, we might move to East Continent..."

"The East Continent is more prosperous than the Northern Continent!"

"If the family could relocate to the East Continent, the Tang Family is sure to reach new highs!"

Thinking of this, the three Elders spoke with jubilant laughter.
