Chapter 124 - White Sheep City
Chapter 126 of "The Unparalleled Sword Emperor" opens revealing: White Sheep City, a small city not far from the Spirit Sword Sect, was home... Keep going!
White Sheep City, a small city not far from the Spirit Sword Sect, was home to over thirty million warriors, most of whom were True Martial Realm warriors.
After a three-day journey, Lin Bai arrived from Flying Dragon City to White Sheep City.
âFinally here.
Since this task was issued by the Lord of White Sheep City himself, I should go see him directly.â
Lin Bai entered White Sheep City and after asking around, he found the City Lordâs Mansion.
Crossing the bustling streets, Lin Bai saw a grand and imposing architectural complex not far ahead.
It was the City Lordâs Mansion.
At the entrance of the City Lordâs Mansion stood two robust Da Han warriors in their late twenties.
They wore battle armor and held long spears, looking impressive and formidable.
Lin Bai arrived at the entrance, cupped his fist in a salute and said with a smile:âHello, sir.
Could you please announce my arrival to the City Lord?
Let him know that Lin Bai, a disciple from the Spirit Sword Sect, has come to see him.â
The two guards looked at Lin Bai in amazement and then laughed excitedly, âYoung man, are you really an accomplished disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect?â
âGuaranteed genuine.â Lin Bai smiled faintly.
âOh my, judging by your appearance, you canât be more than sixteen or seventeen years old and youâre already an accomplished disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Indeed, young people today are quite remarkable.
Please follow me to the reception hall to have some tea.
After I inform the City Lord, he will naturally come to receive you.â
The guard said with a smile.
âAlright, thank you.â Lin Bai responded, smiling.
âItâs my duty.â The guard replied with a grin.
The guard led Lin Bai to the reception hall just as a man and a woman were standing inside.
The man appeared to be in his fifties, clad in a golden robe.
His face bore a majestic expression â a clear sign of someone who had held a high position for a long time, and carried an extraordinary momentum.
The woman, on the other hand, was a cute young girl.
Tiny and big-eyed, she gazed at the middle-aged man in the golden robe as her face held a somewhat naughty smile.
âAre you really sure?
Why donât we wait until the accomplished disciple from the Spirit Sword Sect or the Canghai Yuntai Palace arrive to make a plan?â the middle-aged man in the golden robe looked worriedly at the young girl.
âOh dear, Lord of White Sheep City, relax.
With me in charge, that Demon Path Warrior called Zeng Liang is certainly not going anywhere.
And who knows when the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect and the Canghai Yuntai Palace will arrive?
Just tell me where Zeng Liang is, and I will kill him.â
âAnd then, the reward for this task will belong solely to me.â
The young girl laughed with visible excitement.
âThisâŚ
Youâre only at the First Level of the Earth Martial Realm while Zeng Liang is at the Second Level.
Moreover, he operates in a very covert manner.
What happens if you canât take care of him?
And if you scare him away and he leaves White Sheep City, countless innocent girls might get into trouble.â Seará´h the NovelĆire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Turns out that man in the golden robe was the Lord of the White Sheep City.
As for the young girl, she claimed to be a ranger and had apparently heard about the job involving Zeng Liang.
She had come to White Sheep City specifically to meet the City Lord.
The guard who brought Lin Bai to the reception hall was overjoyed to see the City Lord was there too.
âI greet the City Lord.â
âWhatâs the matter?
Donât you see that I am with esteemed guests?â The Lordâs face turned cold, and he spoke in a frosty tone.
âPlease forgive me, my Lord.
This man here, Lin Bai, claims to be a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Thatâs why I brought him to the reception hall.â Seeing the City Lord getting angry, the guard was scared to his bones and hastened to explain the situation.
âThe disciple from Spirit Sword Sect is here.â
The City Lord looked overjoyed at the news and his gaze fell upon Lin Bai.
âI am Lin Bai, an Outer Sect Disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect.â Lin Bai stepped forward, cupping his fist in salutation and smiled.
âHmph.â The young girl, seeing Lin Baiâs arrival, looked upset, her face clouded with discontent as she glared at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai had arrived, which meant that she was to share the reward of the task she had completed.
This displeased her.
It was not easy to find such a highly rewarding task and now, she had to share the gains!
âHm?
Only at the Xuanwu Realm Ninth Level?â
The Lord of White Sheep City, looking apprehensively at Lin Baiâs cultivation level, after a brief surprise, welcomed her in, âLin Bai, the Spirit Sword Sect and White Sheep City are miles apart, you must be tired from your journey.
Please, rest a bit.â
The Lord of White Sheep City invited Lin Bai to sit down.
Lin Bai could see that the City Lord seemed unsatisfied with her martial art cultivation.
In fact, Lin Bai was right.
The Lord of White Sheep City was indeed surprised upon seeing Lin Baiâs cultivation level, he thought to himself, âDid I not clarify on the task that Zeng Liangâs martial art level is the Second Level of Earth Martial Realm?
Why would the Spirit Sword Sect send a warrior from the Xuanwu Realm Ninth Level?â
Despite his bewilderment, the Lord of White Sheep City dared not offend Lin Bai, considering the formidable Spirit Sword Sect stood behind her.
âYoung Friend Lin Bai, may I see your task and your identity token?â the Lord of White Sheep City cordially said after having Lin Bai seated.
Lin Bai immediately took out the task scroll and the identity token and handed them over to the Lord of White Sheep City.
Only after verifying Lin Baiâs identity did the Lord of White Sheep City return the scroll and the token, while simultaneously saying, âMr.
Lin, Zeng Liang is a warrior of the Earth Martial Realm, Second Level.
Are you confident in handling him?â
âYour level of cultivationâŚâ the Lord of White Sheep City halted mid-sentence.
âRegarding your worries, City Lord, rest assured.
As I have arrived here, Zeng Liangâs end is not far.â Lin Bai declared confidently.
âHuh, a warrior of the Xuanwu Realm Ninth Level with a low cultivation level doesnât doesnât lack confidence.â The young girl sitting across Lin Bai commented disdainfully.
âWho might you be?â Lin Bai asked curiously.
The City Lord was about to speak, âThis young lady isâŚâ
âI am Bai Zhiyuan, just a wandering cultivator.
Iâve heard that warriors of the Spirit Sword Sect are well-versed in the Sword Art, their sword skill extraordinary.
If an opportunity arises, Iâd like to learn from you.â Bai Zhiyuan, although her expression was somewhat disgruntled, challenged Lin Bai defiantly.
Before the City Lord could introduce Bai Zhiyuan, she introduced herself.
Her words were filled with anger as she confronted Lin Bai directly.
Lin Bai was puzzled.
She had just arrived at White Sheep City, she has no grudge against Bai Zhiyuan.
Why would she pick a fight as soon as she opened her mouth?
However, since she had already provoked him, Lin Bai would not back down.
As a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect, Lin Bai was obligated to uphold the sectâs reputation.
She said, âHehe, if Miss Bai wishes to fight with me, Iâm afraid youâll need two more years of practice.â
âYou look down on me, do you dare to fight me?â Bai Zhiyuan yelled angrily.
âIâm sorry, Iâm here to kill Zeng Liang, the Demon Path Warrior.
Iâm not interested in getting involved with you.â Lin Bai shook his head.
Bai Zhiyuan only had the cultivation level of the First Level of Earth Martial Realm.
Lin Bai could easily defeat her with one strike.
No interest in such a trivial match, she flatly declined.
âYou donât even dare to fight me and yet, you want to kill Zeng Liang?
Heâs at the Second Level of the Earth Martial Realm, youâre just courting death.â
âIf you know whatâs good for you, leave.
Give this task to me and you can save your life.â
Bai Zhiyuan warned.
âMiss Bai, since you are a woman, I can show you some leniency, but please, donât push too hard, otherwiseâŚâ As Lin Baiâs eyes opened and closed, a chilling killing intent quietly spread across the meeting room.
