The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 2494 - 2469: Strange Black Shadow!

Lin Bai intended to leave, but after taking a few steps, he heard the old man’s muttering voice.

Hearing the voice, Lin Bai paused slightly, turned back to look at the old man, and smiled as he walked back to ask, "Senior, what were you just saying? Who is Li Subai?"

The old man saw Lin Bai return, and immediately smiled: "Haha, just rambling nonsense for a moment. Alright, Saint Lin Bai, you can leave now."

Lin Bai laughed and said, "Senior is clearly brushing me off. I just came to Kunxu and am very curious about things here. If you know about Li Subai, could we chat about it casually?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Hahaha, I was just rambling for a moment, and you took it seriously!"

"Go now!"

The old man clearly didn’t want to entangle further with Lin Bai. After speaking, he sat down and closed his eyes.

Seeing the old man sit down, Lin Bai smiled slightly, knowing it wasn’t appropriate to ask more, fearing suspicion, so he turned to leave.

Exiting the Realm Cultivation Valley, Lin Bai did not encounter Li Fugui.

He and Li Fugui had agreed to meet ten days later, but now Lin Bai had been cultivating in the Realm Cultivation Valley for more than twenty days. Even if Li Fugui came by, he would have probably left.

Therefore, Lin Bai could only leave the Realm Cultivation Valley alone.

After leaving the Realm Cultivation Valley, Lin Bai entered the dim dense forest ahead.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Lin Bai.

Lin Bai stared blankly at the black shadow in front of him.

"If you want to know about Li Subai, come to the Li Family’s Northern Forest in three days, and you will know everything," the black shadow said directly after appearing before Lin Bai.

Hearing this, Lin Bai asked, "Who are you?"

The black shadow chuckled coldly, "You do not need to know who I am. If you want to know about Li Subai, just remember to come to the Northern Forest!"

"Lin Bai, let me tell you, within the Li Family, if you want to learn about Li Subai, only I can tell you. No one else will!"

The black shadow said coldly.

Lin Bai asked, "Why?"

The black shadow laughed, "Because they are afraid!"

"Remember, three days later, the Li Family’s Northern Forest!"

"Come or not, it’s up to you!"

After saying this, the black shadow flickered and disappeared in front of Lin Bai.

Lin Bai intended to track this person’s trail, but after a slight flicker of his form, the person disappeared without a trace.

Lin Bai coldly said, "A truly skillful escape method, this must be an extremely formidable movement technique. Even I couldn’t catch up with him!"

"Three days later, the Northern Forest!"

Lin Bai memorized this location and, with a trace of doubt, returned to his residence.

On the way, Lin Bai kept pondering the words of the black shadow.

When Lin Bai returned to his residence, he muttered to himself solemnly, "How does this person know I’m investigating Li Subai? Why is he now inviting me to the Northern Forest?"

"Is it to deal with me?"

"Or does he simply want to tell me about Li Subai?"

"Is there some other connection in between?"

Lin Bai’s eyes sparkled, his face icy.

At that moment, Lin Bai closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

Time flew by, and on the third evening, Lin Bai frowned and slowly opened his eyes, which were as bright as the starry sky.

Then, Lin Bai stood up and walked straight outside!

The direction Lin Bai headed was, indeed, the Northern Forest!

Three days had passed!

Three full days of contemplation.

In the end, Lin Bai decided he had to go to the Northern Forest to take a look!

After all, this was the reason Lin Bai came to Kunxu. He couldn’t miss anything related to Li Subai and Lin Duo.

Even though this place was now a Dragon Pool and Tiger’s Den, Lin Bai wouldn’t retreat!

Even knowing it might be a trap, Lin Bai had to go.

Because in this world, in Kunxu, there are too few people who can tell Lin Bai about Lin Duo and Li Subai. If he misses this chance, Lin Bai won’t know where to find further clues about Li Subai.

Surrounding the Li Family’s territory, the forest to the north was particularly vast, stretching endlessly.

This place was the Sacred Land for the Li Family’s Martial Artists to settle private duels and secret trysts.

In other words, the Li Family’s Northern Forest was a lawless place outside the Li Family. Even if someone was killed here, the Li Family would not pursue it, nor would they be able to.

The bright moon shone in the sky, its gentle moonlight casting down on the earth, illuminating Lin Bai.

Lin Bai gradually walked into the forest.

The dimness of the forest was such that even the moonlight could not reach in.

"You came."

As Lin Bai stepped into the forest, a black shadow stood on a branch of a large tree ahead.

Lin Bai looked up and upon seeing this black shadow, immediately sensed that this person’s aura was exactly the same as the black shadow outside the Realm Cultivation Valley three days ago.

Without further words, it was obviously the same person.

Lin Bai smiled faintly, "I’m here. Can you tell me now?"

The black shadow smiled slightly, "Don’t rush. Follow me!"

As he spoke, the black shadow was about to leap from the branch and head deep into the Northern Forest.

Lin Bai hurriedly shouted, "Wait, before I follow you, may I ask who exactly you are and why you want to tell me about Li Subai?"

The black shadow stopped and smiled slightly, saying, "Hmph, Saint Lin Bai, I will say it again. If you want to know about Li Subai, follow me. If you don’t want to, just go back now. I won’t force you!"

After speaking, the black shadow no longer paid attention to Lin Bai and flew forward.

Lin Bai saw the shadow not answering his question, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. However, Lin Bai didn’t have any other options now. Since he had come to this place, he couldn’t return empty-handed!

In an instant, Lin Bai flew forward, matching the black shadow’s speed.

The black shadow was clearly waiting for Lin Bai. After flying forward for a while, he intentionally slowed down, allowing Lin Bai to follow!

But when Lin Bai increased his speed to catch up, the person’s speed would again abruptly increase, maintaining about a hundred meters distance from Lin Bai.

"This person is definitely not a simple warrior in the Li Family!"

"Such movement skills probably rival the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills."

Lin Bai tried a few times, and seeing the black shadow deliberately maintaining a certain distance from him, decided not to chase further.

Following from afar, Lin Bai and the black shadow, one in front and one behind, sped for about two hours, arriving at the deepest part of the Northern Forest.

The black shadow first stopped, and in the moonlight, Lin Bai still couldn’t see his face clearly.

"We’re here?" Lin Bai stopped a hundred meters away from the black shadow, looked around the silent surroundings, and curiously asked.

The black shadow laughed, "We’re here."

Lin Bai remained silent.

At this moment, the black shadow let out a long howl toward the sky and said, "Everyone, the person you are looking for, I have brought him!"

Lin Bai’s expression remained unchanged as he looked around calmly.

At this moment, from the dense forest around, a dozen black-clothed warriors silently emerged. They wore black clothes and black robes and hats, obscuring their faces.

But they all had one thing in common... they all exuded terrifying waves of power, the aura of strong warriors of the Death Reversal Realm!
