Chapter 3197 - 3172: Envoy of the Seventeenth Prince

Chapter 3197: Chapter 3172: Envoy of the Seventeenth Prince

Bai Xiaoxiao sat beside Lin Bai, Lin Bai looked at the worry on Bai Xiaoxiao’s face.

He gently pulled Bai Xiaoxiao into his arms and said softly, "Don’t worry, I won’t act impulsively! If I didn’t have to, I wouldn’t choose to confront the Central Holy Nation at this time."

Bai Xiaoxiao said, "As long as you know, the Central Holy Nation has dominated the Barbaric Ancient Continent for many years; it’s definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface!"

Lin Bai deeply agreed with Bai Xiaoxiao’s analysis, especially after the battle with the Poison God Clan, he learned of the existence of the Heavenly God Tomb.

This rang an alarm for Lin Bai.

Even behind the Poison God Clan lies such an astonishing foundation of strength, what about the Central Holy Nation?

What powerful presence is behind the Central Holy Nation?

Bai Xiaoxiao stayed by Lin Bai’s side for three whole days.

During these three days, neither of them left the Sword King Mansion; they cooked together, fished together, weeded together, just like living a simple married life in the mortal world.

During these three days, Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t attend court, but fortunately, at the imperial court, there were Chu Jiangliu and the Imperial Master Shang Lang, so Bai Xiaoxiao’s absence for these few days didn’t matter.

Three days later, Lin Bai, dressed in a white robe, walked out of the Imperial City of the Shenwu Kingdom, turned around, and saw Bai Xiaoxiao from afar on the city wall watching him. He showed a slight smile on his face, pressed his cloak down on his head, and continued walking forward, heading towards the East Continent Academy!

After seeing Lin Bai off, Bai Xiaoxiao turned back to the Imperial Palace.

"The journey of the Shenwu Kingdom has begun!"

Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression flashed; she knew the Shenwu Kingdom could no longer continue in peace.

Next, Lin Bai had a tough battle to fight, and for this battle, he might need the power of the Shenwu Kingdom!

"I need to unite the East Continent as quickly as possible, so I have enough strength to help him!"

"Help him challenge the Central Holy Nation!"

Bai Xiaoxiao clenched her fists and walked on the golden jade road of the Imperial Palace, her face cold.

At this moment, Chu Jiangliu and the Imperial Master Shang Lang hurriedly came forward on the road, clasped their fists, and shouted, "Your Majesty, you finally returned!"

Chu Jiangliu looked at Bai Xiaoxiao’s side but didn’t find Lin Bai’s presence, so he asked, "Your Majesty, where is the Sword Prince?"

Bai Xiaoxiao said, "Gone!"

"Are you waiting for me here because there’s something going on?"

Bai Xiaoxiao asked.

Imperial Master Shang Lang immediately replied, "Your Majesty, at dusk yesterday, a mysterious person came to the Imperial Palace and specifically requested to see Your Majesty!"

Bai Xiaoxiao asked, "Mysterious person? Someone from the East Continent Academy? Or from the Great Witch Dynasty?"

Imperial Master Shang Lang said, "Neither, it’s someone from the Central Holy Nation!"

Bai Xiaoxiao paused, silently for a moment, then said, "Bring him to see me."

After a while, on the Wind Listening Terrace, Bai Xiaoxiao wore a royal robe and sat on the Dragon Throne.

Imperial Master Shang Lang led an old man, walking quickly.

As the old man came before Bai Xiaoxiao, he clasped his fists and shouted, "This old man Zhang Jinwu, pays respect to Emperor Xiao of the Shenwu Kingdom!"

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled, "No need for formalities! I heard from the Imperial Master that Elder Zhang is from the Central Holy Nation?"

Zhang Jinwu smiled, "Yes, to be precise, I am here on the orders of the Seventeenth Prince to visit Emperor Xiao!"

Bai Xiaoxiao asked, "The Seventeenth Prince?"

Zhang Jinwu chuckled, "The Seventeenth Prince is interested in supporting Emperor Xiao to unite the East Continent... I wonder if Emperor Xiao is interested in this?"

Hearing Zhang Jinwu’s words, Bai Xiaoxiao’s pupils shrunk fiercely, staring at Zhang Jinwu, not responding for a long time.

But deep in Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart, her mind began to shake, and inwardly she coldly said, "The battle for the throne has begun!"

Clearly, Bai Xiaoxiao understands well that if the Crown Prince hadn’t already pulled the East Continent Academy to his side, the Seventeenth Prince wouldn’t support the Shenwu Kingdom in uniting the East Continent!

As long as the Shenwu Kingdom unites the East Continent, it would undoubtedly be one of the forces the East Continent Academy cannot provoke!

In other words, the Seventeenth Prince is supporting the Shenwu Kingdom to deal with the East Continent Academy!

...

All the way forward, traversing thousands of mountains and rivers.

Lin Bai once again stepped into the God-Demon Sea, arriving at the East Continent Academy.

"It’s been a long time, but now I’m back."

Lin Bai looked at the palaces on the God-Demon Sea, watching the warriors constantly flying past, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, Lin Bai took a step forward, heading straight ahead, skillfully and effortlessly bypassing various magic circle prohibitions, immediately heading towards the Southern Yard.

Arriving at the Southern Yard, Lin Bai did not pause at all and went straight to the Lan Clan.

When Lin Bai appeared outside the Lan Clan, Lan Ling at the lake shore, who was originally resting with eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes at this moment; his eyes flashed with brilliance. After a while, he sighed helplessly and said, "Finally, you still came!"

"Yuxin!"

Lan Ling called softly.

Immediately, Lan Yuxin came to Lan Ling, clasped her fists, and shouted, "Father, you’re looking for me?"

Lan Ling said, "Lin Bai is here, go bring him to me."

"Lin Bai is here? I’ll go immediately!" Hearing that Lin Bai had arrived, Lan Yuxin immediately stood up with a smile and flew straight outside the Lan Clan.

"Hmm?" Lan Ling saw Lan Yuxin’s expression, his face looking slightly strange, then he chuckled softly and said, "This girl, does she know what kind of charm Lin Bai used on her? From being indifferent before, now she smiles just hearing that Lin Bai has arrived, really..."

"Lin Bai has such good luck with women once again!"

"Sigh!"

Lan Ling smiled helplessly.

Lan Yuxin flew out of the Lan Clan, saw the white-robed man standing in the clouds, and walked over with a smile, "Lin Bai!"

Lin Bai saw Lan Yuxin coming, immediately said, "Let’s go, take me to meet your father!"

Lan Yuxin nodded slightly, bringing Lin Bai into the Lan Clan, arriving at the lake shore where Lan Ling was.

Lan Ling sat as usual next to the lake, looking at the calm waters.

Lin Bai walked over, clasped his fists, and shouted, "Uncle Lan Ling!"

Lan Ling laughed, "Sit down!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai sat beside Lan Ling, chuckled, and said, "I wonder if there are any fish in Uncle Lan Ling’s lake here? Previously, when I was in the Shenwu Kingdom, I was fishing at the Sword King Mansion for several days, and not a single fish bit the bait, so strange!"

Lan Ling said, "Your mind was not on fishing in the first place; how could you catch any fish?"

"Perhaps." Lin Bai chuckled.

Lan Ling asked, "I heard you beat Wu He and Shi Zhongxian and the others into a sorry state?"

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "Just taught them a casual lesson, but it seemed these Quasi-Saint Sons of the East Continent Academy, their cultivation is not going anywhere, their progress over the past year or two seems to have resulted in nothing but growing older!"

Lan Ling chuckled, "Do you think everyone is like you? Desperately wanting to become stronger!"

"Many people become complacent when they stay in a comfortable place for too long, and naturally they become slack."

"You’ve fought in battles all over, eating in the wind and sleeping in the rugged wilderness, dealing with treachery, so of course, you’ve progressed quickly."

"While they in the East Continent Academy, with their status, have no opponents anymore, hence they become complacent too!"

"But this time, you’ve given them a wake-up call; perhaps they will work hard to cultivate diligently for a period of time!"

Lan Ling said softly.
