The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 2536 - 2511: Defection!

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, the Grand Elder looked at Li Ge and asked coldly, "Is what Lin Bai said true?"

Li Ge hurriedly denied, "Of course not, Grand Elder. Saint Lin Bai is framing me. I ask the Grand Elder to make a judgment. If I really did it, what evidence does Lin Bai have?"

"Saint Lin Bai, anyone can make baseless accusations. Do you have evidence?"

Li Ge said coldly to Lin Bai.

"You have no evidence of me colluding with tribal warriors, but I have evidence of you trying to kill me," Li Ge said coldly.

Lin Bai chuckled lightly, "Why wouldn’t I? Do you think only you could have prepared a Recording Orb in advance, and I wouldn’t have?"

"Since I was going to the Northern Forest, I would naturally be well prepared!"

"Even though you were shrouded in black mist that day, the movement technique you used was the Great Soul Skill. You know better than I do how many in Kunxu can use the Great Soul Skill!"

Lin Bai took out a pearl from his storage bag and spoke coldly.

It was indeed a Recording Orb!

Seeing the Recording Orb in Lin Bai’s hand, Li Ge’s expression drastically changed, and he thought in shock, "Did he really prepare a Recording Orb in advance that day?"

"He went to the Northern Forest alone that day; he should have been prepared!"

"Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare go to the Northern Forest alone."

Li Ge was filled with hesitation.

Lin Bai, holding the Recording Orb, handed it to the Grand Elder and said, "Please, Grand Elder, have a look!"

As he spoke, Lin Bai tossed the Recording Orb towards the Grand Elder from a distance.

The Recording Orb flew steadily towards the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder reached out to grab it, about to take the Recording Orb into his hand.

Li Ge’s face turned even paler, and he thought coldly, "If he really prepared a Recording Orb in advance and recorded me, I was using the Great Soul Skill!"

"Currently, in the Li Family, only the Grand Elder and I can use the Great Soul Skill!"

"At that time, I would have nothing to argue."

"Colluding with tribal warriors and assassinating the Saint of the East Continent Academy, if the Patriarch and the Grand Elder knew about this, even as one of the Kunxu Ten Sons, I would be... executed!"

"In the family rules of the Li Family, collusion with tribes is a capital offense!"

Li Ge’s face was drenched with sweat, watching that Recording Orb slowly fly towards the Grand Elder, his face growing more uneasy.

Just as the Recording Orb was about to fall into the Grand Elder’s hand, a wisp of black smoke suddenly appeared in front of the Recording Orb, transforming into a figure, surprisingly it was Li Ge.

Li Ge used the Great Soul Skill to appear in front of the Recording Orb, striking it with a fierce palm, intending to shatter it!

"Li Ge, what are you doing!" the Grand Elder roared in anger.

Seeing Li Ge suddenly appear in front of the Recording Orb, Lin Bai swiftly reached out, and grabbed the Recording Orb back.

Missing his strike, Li Ge coldly said to the Grand Elder, "Grand Elder, today Saint Lin Bai targets me, everything inside this Recording Orb is fabricated by him!"

"Saint Lin Bai has a noble background and profound strength, I know I’m no match for him. Even if this escalates to the Patriarch, the Patriarch won’t favor me!"

"But please rest assured, Grand Elder, I will definitely find evidence to prove my innocence!"

As he spoke, Li Ge transformed into a black smoke once again, disappearing from Lin Bai and the Grand Elder’s sight.

He pushed the Great Soul Skill to its limit, vanishing from the Li Family in an instant!

"Li Ge! If you are innocent, why would you leave? I will ensure your innocence!"

"Li Ge, come back!"

The Grand Elder shouted coldly.

Lin Bai walked to the Grand Elder’s side, looking in the direction Li Ge fled, and said coldly, "Grand Elder, now you should believe what I said is true!"

The Grand Elder remained expressionless, snorting coldly several times.

Although Li Ge claimed to go find evidence to prove his innocence, neither the Grand Elder nor Lin Bai were fools. Li Ge’s appearance clearly showed him fleeing in panic!

"I will go bring Li Ge back!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t kill him!"

Lin Bai stepped forward, ready to chase down Li Ge.

The Grand Elder said coldly, "Saint Lin Bai, until the matter is clarified, Li Ge is still one of the Kunxu Ten Sons and a disciple of my Li Family. If he were to die at your hands, the longstanding friendship between Kunxu and the East Continent Academy might end!"

"Saint Lin Bai, do you understand my words?"

The Grand Elder said coldly.

Lin Bai nodded and said, "Rest assured, I won’t kill him!"

’Very well then, I leave it to Saint Lin Bai to bring Li Ge back, and moreover, I will report this matter to the Patriarch. The Kunxu Ten Sons colluding with tribal warriors is no minor affair!"

"And I ask Saint Lin Bai to give me the Recording Orb as evidence!"

Lin Bai looked at the pearl in his hand and laughed lightly, "The Recording Orb? Haha, I’ve never had the habit of using a Recording Orb to record events during my travels!"

"This orb was merely to scare Li Ge!"

"I knew Li Ge wouldn’t dare let you see the Recording Orb. Whether in any influence or sect, colluding with outsiders and betraying the family is a capital offense!"

"No matter what is or isn’t inside the orb, Li Ge wouldn’t want to take that risk!"

Lin Bai chuckled.

The Grand Elder said in amazement, "Your Recording Orb is fake?"

Lin Bai tossed the orb to the Grand Elder and said, "Since the Grand Elder likes this orb, I’ll gift it to you!"

The orb fell into the Grand Elder’s hand, while Lin Bai stepped onto a flying sword, soaring into the sky, heading straight towards the direction Li Ge fled.

Sword-controlling Skill, traversing a hundred and eighty thousand miles in an instant!

The Grand Elder grabbed the orb, hurriedly inspected it, and indeed found it completely empty!

At that moment, the Grand Elder crushed the orb, coldly watching the direction where Lin Bai and Li Ge disappeared, and said coldly, "These two are truly rare rogues under heaven!"

"One of the Kunxu Ten Sons, conspiring with foreign tribes, assassinating the Saint of the East Continent Academy!"

"One dares to act recklessly, acting against Kunxu disciples in Kunxu!"

"No wonder they are considered Tianjiao. The audacity and capability of these two are beyond ordinary people!"

"However, Li Ge, even though you are one of the Kunxu Ten Sons, you know that betraying the Li Family and collusion with tribes are capital offenses, regardless of your status!"

The Grand Elder’s silhouette flickered and he vanished within the peripheral areas.

When the Grand Elder reappeared, he was already in front of Li Zhengyi.

After the Grand Elder explained the ins and outs of the situation to Li Zhengyi, Li Zhengyi’s face showed a hint of sudden realization, "So it was Li Ge!"

The Grand Elder curiously asked, "Patriarch, did you already know about this matter..."

Li Zhengyi said, "I did hear about Lin Bai encountering an assassination by a Strong One in the Northern Forest and I had sent Libu Zheng and the warriors from the Heavenly Dragon Hall to investigate!"

"As Lin Bai said, those who attempted to assassinate him were all Strong Ones from the Black Sword Hall of the Broken Sword Tribe!"

"And what I’m curious about is... the Northern Forest is a remote place, why would Lin Bai go there without reason."

"If Li Ge lured him there, then it makes sense."

Li Zhengyi chuckled as he spoke.

The Grand Elder asked, "Patriarch, what should be done about this matter now?"
