The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 2584 - 2559: Investigating the Demon Sect!

Chapter 2584: Chapter 2559: Investigating the Demon Sect!

"Since none of the Quasi-Holy Sons want to investigate the Demon Sect, I will go," Lin Bai looked at the other Quasi-Holy Sons from the other monasteries. They all chose to support the territories and dynasties.

There was not a single person who chose to investigate the Demon Sect at this moment.

Lin Bai had no choice but to step forward and primarily investigate the Demon Sect.

As soon as Lin Bai’s words fell, the eyes of all the warriors and elders in the audience turned to Lin Bai in surprise.

"Saint Lin Bai!" Gu Daozhi looked at Lin Bai with some satisfaction.

But Lan Ling was somewhat reluctant, hesitating to speak. Finally, he said, "Lin Bai, I have more important matters to entrust to you. You don’t need to participate in this mission."

Lin Bai naturally understood the meaning behind Lan Ling’s words.

Lan Ling knew that the warriors outside the East Continent Academy were all thinking of ways to kill Lin Bai and take his head to Kunxu for a reward.

Thus, Lan Ling did not want Lin Bai to leave the East Continent Academy.

Upon hearing Lan Ling’s words, Gu Daozhi’s eyes flashed, and he said coldly, "Yes, the Saint is not suited to act, you need not go!"

The grudge between Gu Daozhi and Lin Bai always existed, after all, Lin Bai had killed many of the strong ones from the Ancient Clan and the Eastern Courtyard. Gu Daozhi was particularly discontent with Lin Bai.

But Lin Bai was now the Saint of the East Continent Academy. If a Saint were to die outside, it would be a significant blow to the academy and would cause warriors under heaven to mock the East Continent Academy as incompetent.

Therefore, Gu Daozhi stepped forward to advise Lin Bai not to go, not to protect Lin Bai, but to preserve the reputation of the East Continent Academy and the Ancient Clan.

Lin Bai laughed and said, "Lord Lan Ling, I understand your good intentions, but I am, after all, the Saint of the East Continent Academy. Now that the East Continent is in chaos, and all the academy’s disciples are supporting the territories and dynasties, yet I, as the Saint, hide within the academy—would that not be laughable?"

"Let me go investigate the Demon Sect."

Lin Bai said while clasping his fists.

Gu Daozhi and Lan Ling, at this moment, exchanged glances.

At this moment, Lin Bai also heard the voices of the warriors behind him: "I heard that before Saint Lin Bai stole treasures from Kunxu and even killed a Kunxu elder, and now Kunxu is pursuing him relentlessly!"

"Lord Lan Ling and Gu Daozhi do not wish to let him go, probably to prevent him from taking risks!"

"Hmph, as the Saint of the East Continent Academy, doing such thieving deeds, truly brings disgrace to our academy!"

"Indeed, such conduct is unworthy of a Saint!"

"..."

Many of the Quasi-Holy Sons behind were mocking and ridiculing him. Although their voices were low, Lin Bai and the other warriors heard it all.

Even though Lin Bai heard it, he did not argue or rebut; his expression remained unchanged.

Gu Daozhi glanced at Lan Ling, waiting for his decision.

Lan Ling was momentarily indecisive.

At this moment, Lan Yuxin said, "Father, let me go with Lin Bai!"

Lin Bai frowned at Lan Yuxin and said coldly, "I am enough alone, Lan Yuxin, don’t cause trouble. Do you know how dangerous it is to investigate the Demon Sect? A careless mistake could lead to death!"

Lan Yuxin said, "That’s precisely why, with my Bloodline Legacy Martial Soul, I can help you solve many problems if necessary. Don’t worry, I am also a Quasi-Saint of the East Continent Academy; I am not an ordinary warrior!"

Lan Yuxin declared firmly.

Lan Ling looked at Lan Yuxin, and after a long silence, he nodded, "Alright, then Lin Bai, if you must go, then go with Lan Yuxin!"

"If you two do not go together, you cannot leave the East Continent Academy!"

Seeing Lan Ling say this, Lin Bai had no choice but to nod, "Alright!"

With Lin Bai taking the initiative to investigate the Demon Sect, the other Quasi-Holy Sons chose to support the territories and dynasties instead!

There were two teams of Quasi-Holy Sons tasked with investigating the Demon Sect.

Lin Bai and Lan Yuxin formed one team.

Li Jiuge and Xing Hen formed another team!

They all were Quasi-Holy Sons of the Southern Yard, while the Quasi-Holy Sons from other monasteries seemed unwilling to investigate the Demon Sect.

After everything was allocated, Gu Daozhi said, "The Quasi-Holy Sons supporting the territories and dynasties may return to the monastery. Later, your respective deans will assign you to support the territories and dynasties!"

"As for the Quasi-Holy Sons investigating the Demon Sect, you must be extra cautious!"

"Additionally, take this token..."

As he spoke, Gu Daozhi sent out four tokens, landing before Lin Bai, Lan Yuxin, Li Jiuge, and Xing Hen.

Lin Bai held the token, looking at the words on it.

On the front of the token, four large golden words were inscribed: "East Continent Academy!"

On the back of the token, it said: "Order Divine Court!"

Gu Daozhi said, "This golden token represents the Order Divine Court of the East Continent. If you encounter trouble while investigating the Demon Sect, you can present this token to any family or sect within the territories, and they will help you unconditionally!"

"Holding this token means you represent the Order Divine Court."

"Moreover, you need to know, during this investigation of the Demon Sect, you are acting independently, without support. If you encounter danger, we may not be able to rescue you in time!"

"Therefore, be extremely careful!"

Gu Daozhi advised meaningfully.

Lin Bai and the other three nodded in agreement.

Gu Daozhi said, "Since everyone is clear about their tasks, go prepare!"

"The latest you can leave the East Continent Academy is three days from now."

Gu Daozhi instructed.

"Yes! Elder!" All the Quasi-Holy Sons saluted and then turned to leave.

Lin Bai, Lan Yuxin, and the others also returned first to the Southern Yard!

After all the Quasi-Holy Sons had left, Gu Daozhi turned to look at the other eight elders with a grave expression.

"It’s time to let go," one elder said calmly.

Gu Daozhi nodded with a bitter smile and said, "Indeed, it’s time to let them take over the East Continent!"

Lan Ling expressionlessly stood up to leave.

Gu Daozhi looked at Lan Ling and said indifferently, "Lan Ling!"

Lan Ling stopped and turned back to look at Gu Daozhi!

Gu Daozhi said indifferently, "Though the Gu Family of the Eastern Courtyard and your Lan Clan of the Southern Yard do not get along, Lin Bai is, after all, the Saint of the East Continent Academy. Even if he were to die, it could only be within the academy!"

"I will never allow any warrior outside the East Continent Academy to kill him!"

"After all, he is the Saint, he is the Saint of the East Continent Academy!"

Gu Daozhi said indifferently.

Lan Ling smiled, "I know, the Gu Family has always valued face above all else!"

Gu Daozhi said, "Once the East Continent Chaos is over, if our East Continent Academy still exists, I will go to Kunxu personally to resolve Lin Bai’s issue!"

Lan Ling nodded, "You also know how inconvenient it is for me to get involved!"

Gu Daozhi nodded, "Therefore, within the East Continent Academy, only you and I can solve this issue. If you cannot step in, then I must go."

Lan Ling nodded, "For this matter, I thank you on behalf of Lin Bai."

Gu Daozhi snorted coldly, "No need for thanks. I said earlier, even if Lin Bai were to die, it could only be at the hands of the warriors of the East Continent Academy!"
