The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 2468 - 2344: The Battle Was Devastating!

Lin Bai stood silently on the city wall, watching the bone spirits retreat quickly and disappear into the dense forest.

The cheers of the Li Family’s martial artists echoed around him, but Lin Bai couldn’t bring himself to smile.

"I heard that strange buzzing sound again."

"But looking at the people around, it seems they can’t hear it. Could it be that only I can hear it?"

"Or did they hear it but just didn’t pay attention?"

Lost in thought amidst the cheering, Lin Bai fell into silence.

"Nevertheless, this buzzing sound is definitely not baseless..."

"If it’s really as I suspect, and someone is secretly manipulating this bone spirit siege, then things are going to be troublesome."

Lin Bai coldly thought to himself.

By rights, Lin Bai was merely a guest at the Li Family and didn’t need to get involved in their affairs.

However, ever since his arrival, the Li Family disciples had treated him with great care, especially Li Zhengyi and Libu Zheng, who were exceptionally kind to him.

Now, Lin Bai had proactively come to the Bone Withering Secret Realm, albeit seeking opportunities for breakthrough, but he was already involved in this conflict.

For Lin Bai to stand by idly now would be truly impossible!

Lin Bai looked expressionlessly into the distance.

As the bone spirits retreated, all the warriors in the Life-and-Death Realm on the city wall cheered for half an hour.

Finally, the commanders of the battle camps ordered a regrouping.

At this time, all the injured warriors in the Life-and-Death Realm either returned to the city for healing or directly used the teleportation array to return to the Li Family.

Lin Bai assisted the severely injured Li Fugui back to his residence and said lightly, "Li Fugui, you are now gravely injured and can return directly to the Li Family. I’ve seen many severely injured warriors leave already."

"Rest assured, if you leave now, I believe the Li Family’s martial artists won’t blame you!"

Lin Bai said, looking at Li Fugui’s pale face.

Li Fugui shook his head silently and said, "Brother Lin Bai, when you were fighting the bone spirits on the city wall just now, you might not have noticed, but I did."

"After this battle, the Eighth and Ninth Army Corps of the South City’s Life-and-Death Realm suffered heavy losses, with a large number of warriors seriously injured or fallen. Less than one-tenth remains viable now!"

"If all the disciples return to the Li Family for treatment, the Eighth and Ninth Army Corps might dissolve, and there will be no one to defend the South City!"

"Furthermore, none of the Death Reversal Army Corps who went after the bone spirits have returned."

"This is not the time for us to leave."

Lin Bai nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, it’s surprising that none of the Death Reversal Army Corps returned!"

"I wonder if the bone spirits’ sudden retreat is related to the Death Reversal Army Corps?"

Lin Bai’s expression grew increasingly solemn.

During the battle earlier, Lin Bai had exerted a lot of effort but didn’t sustain significant injuries, so he was in better shape than Li Fugui.

Half a day later, Lin Bai stood in Bone City, gazing at the sky.

A half day had passed, yet not one member of the Death Reversal Army Corps had returned!

At dusk, Lin Bai stood in the courtyard of his residence and saw a white-robed woman approaching slowly from a distance.

When the woman arrived before Lin Bai, he asked, "Here for a fight?"

The white-robed woman smiled slightly, "I have no interest in fighting you now. If you want a match, you can challenge at the Battle of the Ten Children!"

Lin Bai chuckled, "Forget it, the Battle of the Ten Children is a competition among your Li Family’s Tianjiao, I don’t want to get involved."

"Since you’re not here to fight, Miss Li Qianqian, what brings you to me?"

The stunning white-robed woman before him was none other than the witch Li Qianqian!

Li Qianqian said, "It’s not me looking for you; it’s the Bone City Alliance Army’s Alliance Leader who’s seeking you!"

Lin Bai frowned and asked, "Senior Li Guai?"

Li Qianqian said, "Come on, let’s go to the great hall; almost everyone is already there."

After speaking, Li Qianqian turned and left.

Lin Bai hesitated for a moment, said something to the recovering Li Fugui inside, and followed Li Qianqian.

The two walked out of the South City and arrived outside a great hall.

Walking alongside Li Qianqian, Lin Bai entered and saw hundreds of martial artists seated inside the hall.

These martial artists were the commanders of various battle camps, and among them, Lin Bai spotted Litian Ba.

Seeing Lin Bai enter, Litian Ba wasn’t overly surprised; it seemed he had anticipated Lin Bai’s return.

Li Guai was seated at the very top center.

Li Qianqian entered the great hall and walked straight to a chair on the east side.

Lin Bai noticed that on the east side, two young men were sitting, both extremely handsome, with features as elegant as jade, rare beauties in this world.

Li Guai looked at Lin Bai and Li Qianqian as they entered and immediately said, "Lin Bai, you’ve arrived, so have a seat. There’s too much to handle with Bone City’s affairs, so I couldn’t wait for you!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly, following Li Qianqian, and sat on a chair on the east side.

At this moment, Li Guai said, "Continue, report the battle damage!"

Then, the commander of East City said, "In East City, the Life-and-Death Realm First, Second, and Third Army Corps, with over twenty thousand people in total, have suffered more than seven thousand deaths, with five thousand severely injured, and countless lightly injured!"

"As for the East City’s Death Reversal First Army Corps, ever since they hastily left Bone City to pursue the bone spirits, they have been missing, and we can’t contact them even with the Sound Transmission Token!"

Li Guai frowned and asked, "How about the South City?"

Litian Ba stood up and said, "The situation in South City is almost the same as East City, the Death Reversal Army Corps are missing, and the Life-and-Death Realm Corps have been practically wiped out."

Upon hearing this, Li Guai was filled with melancholy, "Then it goes without saying, the same must be true for West City and North City?"

The commanders of West City and North City stood up, nodding slightly.

Litian Ba observed this and said coldly, "Alliance Leader, with the current combat strength of our four cities, South, East, West, and North, it’s difficult to withstand another assault by the bone spirits!"

"If the bone spirits launch another wave, they could easily overtake Bone City!"

Litian Ba spoke earnestly.

"Litian Ba, you think I don’t know that?" Li Guai said expressionlessly, "But what can be done now?"

"The main forces within Bone City, the Death Reversal Army Corps, are missing."

"The Life-and-Death Realm Corps, who bravely blocked this battle, are broken!"

"So what do you want me to do now?"

Li Guai gritted his teeth angrily.

At this point, a young man seated higher up on the east side spoke lightly, "Alliance Leader, don’t blame Commander Litian Ba, he’s just stating the facts!"

"As he pointed out, with our current forces, we really cannot resist another assault by the bone spirits!"

As this young man spoke, Lin Bai glanced up at him.

Li Qianqian whispered beside Lin Bai, "His name is Li Zhaoxing, one of the Seven Great Proud Children, on par with Lidao Yuan and Libu Zheng!"
