Chapter 2729: Chapter 2704: Invincible Beneath Wending

Late at night, Lin Bai walked out of the Zhao Family, strolling through Black Water City.

At this moment, Lin Bai looked up at the night sky, then at the city within Black Water City.

Behind him, Lin Ye followed quietly. When Lin Bai stopped, he stopped as well.

Lin Bai said, "Lin Ye, haven’t you felt the wind in Black Water City changing..."

Lin Ye seemed not to understand Lin Bai’s words, looking around bewildered, his face showing confusion.

Lin Bai chuckled lightly, "The wind in Black Water City carries a pungent smell of blood, a storm of blood and rain is about to come!"

"However, I’m just a passerby in Black Water City; this storm of blood and rain has nothing to do with me, and I don’t intend to get involved in it!"

"I’ve made up my mind; if none of the Eight Great Clans can give me the Houtu Divine Thunder Art, then I will not concern myself with this storm of blood and rain!"

Lin Bai said resolutely.

The Eight Great Clans of Black Water City are powerful. Even though Lin Bai now has a bit of fame in the Fighting Arena and Black Water City, his strength is still too low, and he doesn’t want to completely break ties with the other Eight Great Clans.

After all, these Eight Great Clans have deep roots in Black Water City, with many strong ones in the Wending Realm. Completely breaking ties with them offers no benefits to Lin Bai!

"Let’s go back and wait for news from the Tang Family!"

Lin Bai said calmly.

Immediately, Lin Bai, along with Lin Ye, returned to the Tang Family.

A quiet night passed.

At dawn the next day, Tang Yuezhi and Tangjing Xiu both came to Lin Bai’s small courtyard.

By then, Fatty and Uncle Ban Ye had also left the Tang Family.

"Guest Official Lin Bai, are you there?"

Tangjing Xiu and Tang Yuezhi called softly outside Lin Bai’s courtyard door.

Hearing the noise, Lin Bai sensed Tangjing Xiu and Tang Yuezhi standing outside the door, shook his head helplessly, got up, walked out, opened the door, and said, "Patriarch Tang, Miss!"

Lin Bai welcomed the two into the courtyard.

At that moment, Lin Ye also walked out from inside, standing beside Lin Bai, watching Tangjing Xiu and Tang Yuezhi vigilantly.

When Tangjing Xiu and Tang Yuezhi saw Lin Ye, they were shocked and said in horror, "Qian Family’s Undefeated General, the Beast?"

Lin Bai said softly, "He’s now called Lin Ye, he’s with me now, unrelated to the Qian Family!"

Tangjing Xiu said in surprise, "The Qian Family is actually willing to let the Beast, that money tree, leave the Qian Family?"

Lin Bai laughed, "Regardless of whether they are willing or not, I must take Lin Ye with me!"

"Patriarch Tang, Miss, you came today for something, right? The matter of me resigning, Miss should have informed you, right? When can I leave the Tang Family?"

Lin Bai said calmly.

Tangjing Xiu and Tang Yuezhi exchanged a glance, then Tangjing Xiu smiled and said, "I came here specifically for this matter. Guest Official Lin Bai, since coming to the Tang Family, we have treated you well!"

Lin Bai laughed, "That’s for sure. Although there haven’t been many great benefits, you haven’t treated me poorly either. Lin Mou feels grateful."

Upon hearing this, Tangjing Xiu smiled and said, "Since Guest Official Lin Bai wishes to resign, our Tang Family will not force you to stay. However, before you leave, could you help the Tang Family with something?"

Lin Bai laughed, "If it’s about the Dragon City Battle, please don’t mention it. I am too weak to be of help to the Tang Family, so please look for someone more capable."

Tangjing Xiu laughed, "Guest Official Lin Bai, you are too modest. As the Sword Demon, who now dominates the Fighting Arena, your strength has been recognized by all the warriors in Black Water City!"

"How can you say your strength is insignificant?"

Tangjing Xiu laughed as he spoke.

Hearing this, Lin Bai realized that Tangjing Xiu was aware of Lin Bai’s identity.

Lin Bai was taken aback, and with a wordless smile said, "Sure enough, once one’s movement technique is exposed, it brings too much trouble. It’s impossible to find peace day or night!"

Tangjing Xiu asked, "Night? Has someone disturbed Guest Official Lin Bai’s rest?"

Lin Bai said, "Last night, an Elder from the Zhao Family forced me to the Zhao Family. They also wanted to invite me to be a Guest Official for them."

"What!" Tangjing Xiu looked at Lin Bai in great surprise.

What surprised Tangjing Xiu the most was that the Zhao Family also knew Lin Bai’s identity.

And what shocked Tangjing Xiu the most was that an Elder from the Zhao Family could come and go from the Tang Family unnoticed by anyone.

This didn’t mean there weren’t many experts in the Tang Family, but rather that there must be an insider from the Zhao Family within the Tang Family.

"Did you agree?" Tangjing Xiu asked nervously.

Lin Bai shook his head slightly.

Seeing Lin Bai shake his head, Tangjing Xiu’s face showed delight. As long as Lin Bai had not agreed to the Zhao Family, there was still hope for the Tang Family.

Lin Bai continued, "Patriarch Tang, since you’ve brought it up, I will be straightforward. I told the Zhao Family the same thing last night!"

"In the Dragon City Battle, if you want my help, I have only one demand: I want the Houtu Divine Thunder Art!"

"Whichever family among the Eight Great Clans can provide me with the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Art’, I will assist them!"

Lin Bai said in a low voice.

"Houtu Divine Thunder Art..." Tangjing Xiu’s expression was somewhat pained; Lin Bai’s demand was truly too difficult!

Lin Bai laughed, "Patriarch Tang, I understand your thoughts. I also know that by saying this, I’m a bit too arrogant and conceited!"

"But after all, this is the Dragon City Battle of Black Water City, not mine, Lin Bai’s battle. So, if you can’t provide the Houtu Divine Thunder Art, that’s even better, because I don’t want to get involved!"

"After all, Patriarch Tang, as we both know, once I step in during the Dragon City Battle, if I help the Tang Family get the Commander Flag, it will definitely provoke the other seven families!"

"That’s certainly not a good thing."

"So, for me, participating in the Dragon City Battle is fine, but not participating is the best!"

Lin Bai said with a light laugh.

Patriarch Tang nodded slightly.

Looking over the years at the Dragon City Battle, any guest officials invited by the Eight Great Clans were either of absolutely formidable strength or of extremely noble birth; if they were other dark horse guest officials, once the Dragon City Battle ended, these weaker guest officials would become targets for the other seven clans’ revenge.

Tangjing Xiu asked seriously, "Do you really have to have the Houtu Divine Thunder Art?"

Lin Bai laughed, "Besides the Houtu Divine Thunder Art, I want nothing else!"

Tangjing Xiu’s face darkened, his eyes shifting uncertainly. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "If our Tang Family gives you the Houtu Divine Thunder Art, how confident are you in helping us seize the Commander Flag?"

Lin Bai laughed softly, "Undefeated below Wending, is that enough?"

Upon hearing this, Tangjing Xiu’s face lit up with joy, as if he had made some kind of decision in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "Very well, Guest Official Lin Bai, give us one day!"

"After one day, our Tang Family will definitely deliver the Houtu Divine Thunder Art to your hands!"

"Please, Guest Official Lin Bai, patiently wait for one day. During this day, please do not accept any other clans’ invitations!"

Lin Bai laughed, "Alright, I will give the Tang Family one day!"

Tangjing Xiu nodded slightly, then turned and left Lin Bai’s courtyard with Tang Yuezhi!
