Chapter 34 - Give Me a Year If You Dare

“Are you sure you’re unwilling to reconsider?

Are you certain you want to make an enemy of my Canghai Yuntai Palace?” Murong Qi said with anger.

“I don’t wish to be your enemy, but I do wish to protect Lin Bai for one year,” Lin Yue said with a slight smile.

“After one year, if the Canghai Yuntai Palace still wants to kill Lin Bai, that’s your business.

It doesn’t concern me!!”

“Third Uncle, what are you saying?” Lin Bai looked at Lin Yue in utter surprise.

What did he mean—after a year, if they still wanted to kill Lin Bai, it would be their business and not his?

Was this still family?

Lin Yue smiled slightly, “But in this year, if the Canghai Yuntai Palace dares to send an assassin to kill Lin Bai!”

“I can assure you of this.”

“If Lin Bai loses a single strand of hair, I’ll kill a thousand disciples of your Canghai Yuntai Palace’s Xuanwu Realm.”

“If Lin Bai loses a finger, I’ll kill a thousand disciples on your Canghai Yuntai Palace’s Earth Martial Realm.”

“If Lin Bai loses an arm, I’ll kill a thousand disciples of your Canghai Yuntai Palace’s Heaven Martial Realm.”

“If Lin Bai dies, I’ll exterminate every one from Canghai Yuntai Palace!”

Lin Yue stated resolutely.

“Ha ha, who do you think you are?

Even the Ten Kings of Shenwu wouldn’t dare to make such a bold claim!” Murong Qi said angrily.

“They don’t dare because they are too weak!”

“Why don’t you test me and see if I can kill you?”

Lin Yue said laughing merrily at Murong Qi.

Murong Qi was startled.

When Lin Yue had attacked suddenly before, Murong Qi had sensed that his strength was far beyond his own.

Otherwise, Lin Yue’s casual punch couldn’t have knocked him back a hundred meters and gravely injured him.

Murong Qi looked at Lin Yue with hostility, but he didn’t dare to strike.

Becasuse he knew, he was no match for Lin Yue.

Lin Yue laughed, “Now, you’re just afraid that Zhao Xiansheng will blame you.

How about this?

I’ll write you a letter.

You give it to Zhao Xiansheng, and I guarantee he won’t blame you for what happened.”

Lin Yue threw a letter that he had already prepared to Murong Qi.

Murong Qi caught the letter and said, “Just this letter?”

“That’s enough,” Lin Yue laughed.

Murong Qi hesitated, unsure of what to do.

What if Lin Yue was playing a trick on him?

Lin Yue laughed, “I reiterate, within this year, the Canghai Yuntai Palace is forbidden from laying a hand on Lin Bai.

After a year, if you still wish to kill him, do as you please.”

Murong Qi replied, “Alright then, I’ll give Way today out of respect for you, Senior.

If this letter doesn’t work, I’ll come for Lin Bai’s life.”

“Senior Brother, there’s no need for that.

After a year, I’ll personally kill Lin Bai!”

Lin Zi’er suddenly interjected, speaking fiercely.

“Hahaha, how funny.

A defeated loser dares to bluster!” Lin Bai ridiculed her while laughing wildly.

“In the next year, I’ll be cultivating at the Canghai Yuntai Palace.

After a year, I’ll have reached a height you can’t even imagine.

By then, you’ll be nothing more than an ant beneath my feet.”

“If I say you die, you die!”

Lin Zi’er said coldly to Lin Bai.

“Alright then, Lin Zi’er, let me tell you, I can defeat you now and beat you into a dog.

After a year, I’ll still be able to beat you into a dog!”

“After a year, you won’t need to come find me.

I’ll definitely come to the Canghai Yuntai Palace to kill you!” Lin Bai challenged Lin Zi’er.

“Good!” Murong Qi suddenly exclaimed, staring at Lin Bai.

“Lin Bai, if you don’t come to the Canghai Yuntai Palace after a year, Lingxi City will be annihilated under the fury of the Canghai Yuntai Palace!”

The Lord of Lingxi City was taken aback, “What the hell does that have to do with us?”

Murong Qi said coldly, “Lord of Lingxi City, isn’t he a warrior of your city?

Shouldn’t you take responsibility?”

“Preposterous!” The Lord of Lingxi City retorted angrily.

Lin Zi’er said, “In a year’s time, I’ll definitely kill you!”

“Hehe!” Lin Bai looked down on Lin Zi’er with a scoffing smile.

Murong Qi took another look at the envelope and placed it in his robe.

“Everyone, I won’t contend with you all over the genius of Lingxi City this time.”

“Disciple, follow me back to the Canghai Yuntai Palace.”

Murong Qi then pulled Lin Zi’er to leave Heavenly Hidden Valley.

After this event, Murong Qi didn’t want Lin Zi’er to stay there for long.

He would have liked nothing more than to immediately fly Lin Zi’er back to the Canghai Yuntai Palace and hand her to King Zhao, so he could be rid of this burdensome matter once and for all.

The Lord of Lingxi City sighed softly and announced, “All the warriors, leave the Heavenly Hidden Valley and give up the tokens you’ve acquired.”

“Tomorrow morning, all warriors gather at the City Lord’s Mansion.

The Four Major Sects will choose from among you to be their disciples!”

“Lord of Lingxi City, these are my points,” Lin Bai handed all of the points he had obtained from Lin Zi’er.

There were a total of one hundred and twenty-three points which he handed to the Lord of Lingxi City.

Following that, Lin Yue took Lin Bai back to the Lin Family.

After recuperating and ingesting some healing pills, Lin Bai finally managed to stop his bleeding.

Not until the late night did Lin Yue arrive, rousing Lin Bai from his rest.

“How are your injuries?” Lin Yue asked.

“Third uncle, your elixir pills really work wonders.

I feel much better after having them,” Lin Bai answered with a smile.

When they returned to the Lin Family residence, Lin Yue gave Lin Bai some peculiar elixir pills.

After consuming them, Lin Bai’s wounds began healing rapidly.

“That is the power of elixir pills.

Otherwise, why do you think alchemists are so sought after?” Lin Yue chuckled.

“Lin Bai, the Four Major Sects will be selecting disciples tomorrow.”

“Now that the Cang Hai Yun Tai Palace has left, only the Edgeless Sect, the Fire Palace, and the Spirit Sword Sect remain.”

“Which sect do you plan to join?” Lin Yue asked.

“I don’t know.

I am not familiar with these three sects.

The only sect I am familiar with is the Cang Hai Yun Tai Palace.”

“But with the falling out I’ve had with the Cang Hai Yun Tai Palace, I fear I would be killed on the spot by King Zhao if I go there,” Lin Bai replied, forcing a wry smile.

“Since you have not made up your mind, allow me to choose for you,” Lin Yue offered with a laugh.

“You should join the Spirit Sword Sect.”

Lin Bai frowned.

“Third Uncle, among these three sects, the Fire Palace and Edgeless Sect are equally strong, while the Spirit Sword Sect is considered the weakest of the Four Major Sects.

Why would you suggest I join the Spirit Sword Sect?”

“If you go to the Spirit Sword Sect, you will naturally reap great benefits,” Lin Yue replied.

“What benefits?” Lin Bai asked curiously.

Lin Yue took a deep breath and said, “If you really decide to join the Spirit Sword Sect, you should seek the tutelage of someone named Ling Tianzi.”

“Ling Tianzi?

One of the Ten Kings of Shenwu?” Lin Bai asked curiously.

“No, but he is no less powerful than the Ten Kings of Shenwu.

When Elder Brother Lin Duo reached a bottleneck in his cultivation, Ling Tianzi once provided invaluable guidance.”

“After receiving Ling Tianzi’s guidance, Elder Brother Lin Duo broke through his cultivation level.”

“Ever since then, Elder Brother Lin Duo has been very grateful to him.”

“In the entire Shenwu Kingdom, there are few people that Elder Brother Lin Duo respects, but he greatly admires Ling Tianzi.”

“And the three students he has taught are now all renowned in Shenwu Kingdom.”

Lin Yue added with a smile.

“Is he really that formidable?” Lin Bai asked, astounded.

“Trust me, throughout the Shenwu Kingdom, hopefully, Ling Tianzi is the only one capable of teaching you.

The others simply do not qualify,” Lin Yue chuckled.

“Alright, since you have recommended it, Third Uncle, I’ll join the Spirit Sword Sect and seek Ling Tianzi’s teachings,” Lin Bai agreed.

“By the way, Third Uncle, what exactly did you write in the letter you gave to Murong Qi today?” Lin Bai asked suddenly, curious about the content of the missive.

Lin Yue laughed mysteriously upon hearing this.

Several days later.

Murong Qi returned to the Cang Hai Yun Tai Palace with Lin Zi’er, and relayed to Zhao Xiansheng what had occurred in the Heavenly Hidden Valley.

Then, he handed over an envelope.

Zhao Xiansheng opened the envelope and read the contents.

On it was written just one sentence.

“Give me a year, and I will defeat all the geniuses in the Cang Hai Yun Tai Palace!

— Lin Bai.”

Boom!

After reading the letter, Zhao Xiansheng was taken aback.

An immense force spread from him, causing Murong Qi to shiver in terror.

Zhao Xiansheng was silent for a long while before uttering one word, “Arrogant.”

“Murong.” Zhao Xiansheng called.

“Senior Brother, I’m at your disposal.” Murong Qi replied tremblingly.

“You’ve worked hard on this journey.

Go rest.

I’ll take care of Lin Zi’er’s matter.

As for Lin Bai, do not lay a finger on him for a year,” Zhao Xiansheng spoke evenly.

“As you command, Senior Brother,” Murong Qi replied before taking his leave.

“Hehe, I’ll see how you plan to defeat all my disciples of the Cang Hai Yun Tai palace within a year!”

“Even after a year, if you don’t come, you won’t be able to escape the palm of the Cang Hai Yun Tai Palace!” Zhao Xiansheng muttered to himself.
