Chapter 2734: Chapter 2709: Madam Yang’s Departure!

"I’ve told you so much, not to seek your sympathy, but to inform you that if you want to obtain the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’ from the Wang Family, unless you annihilate the Wang Family, there’s no other way!"

"So if you are willing to change to another request, I will do my best to satisfy you!"

"For example, your cultivation is currently low, and I can completely have the Zhao Family provide many precious miraculous elixirs, allowing your cultivation to break through to the Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection in a short time!"

"Furthermore, I can have the Zhao Family provide enough cultivation resources for you to smoothly cultivate to the Wending Realm!"

City Lord of Blackwater City, Zhao Wuji, looked at Lin Bai and said earnestly.

Lin Bai pondered for a long time, finally shaking his head and saying, "Without the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’, I don’t want to take risks in Blackwater City. After all, once I participate in the Dragon City Battle, I will inevitably attract many strong enemies!"

"Please rest assured, Lord City Master, if you want me to help in the Dragon City Battle, unless one of the Eight Great Clans comes with the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’, otherwise, I won’t assist any family!"

Lin Bai said firmly.

Zhao Wuji chuckled lightly and said, "Is your desire for the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’ so intense?"

Lin Bai smiled and said, "It is only because the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’ is tempting enough for me to take the risk!"

"Just like the miraculous elixirs you mentioned earlier, these things are not enough for me to take risks!"

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s resolute words, Zhao Wuji finally laughed helplessly and said, "Alright, since you insist that only the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’ will make you willing to act, then I won’t force you."

"In Blackwater City, even the Zhao Family cannot produce the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’, and neither can the other seven great clans!"

"I hope you will keep your promise!"

"You may go."

Zhao Wuji looked at Lin Bai and said.

Lin Bai got up, clasped his fist in salute towards Zhao Wuji, turned around, and found Lin Ye outside the Lake Pavilion, leaving the City Lord Mansion together.

After Lin Bai left.

A middle-aged man hurriedly arrived at the Lake Pavilion, clasped his fist and said, "Uncle, did Lin Bai agree to assist?"

This middle-aged man was none other than the Patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhaoyun Tian!

Zhao Wuji shook his head and said, "This person is extremely resolute in his mind, he categorically demands the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’. Since we can’t provide it, neither can the other seven Patriarchs!"

"He has said, without the ’Post-celestial Divine Thunder Technique’, the Dragon City Battle is not worth the risk!"

"Then we need not bother with him!"

"Fortunately, I’ve already selected a suitable Guest Official for the Zhao Family, but he has sent a message saying he needs seven days to arrive at Blackwater City!"

Zhao Wuji shook his head and said.

"Who is this Guest Official that Uncle has found? He needs seven days to reach Blackwater City? But there are only three days left until the Dragon City Battle, there’s not enough time!" Zhaoyun Tian said in a low voice.

Zhao Wuji shook his head and said, "No matter, I will postpone the time for the Dragon City Battle!"

"This Guest Official I’ve found is extraordinary by nature, he’s a disciple from the Sword God Family!"

"Moreover, this person is among the Sword God Family, a famous figure, one of the Nine Great Swords!"

Upon hearing this, Zhaoyun Tian’s face turned astonished, joyfully said, "One of the Nine Swordsmen of the Sword God Family! If we have this Sword Child’s assistance, our Zhao Family will surely take over as City Lord!"

"Even if it’s Sword Demon Lin Bai, he is nothing compared to the Sword Child of the Sword God Family!"

...

Walking out of the City Lord Mansion, Lin Bai and Lin Ye strode along the streets of Blackwater City.

Suddenly, a woman appeared in front of Lin Bai.

Beside this woman were four men, even more beautiful than the woman.

Seeing this woman, Lin Bai stepped forward, clasped his fist and said, "Madam Yang, if you came to ask me to help the Zhao Family, then spare your breath. I’ve made it very clear, without the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’, I won’t assist!"

The charming woman before him was none other than Madam Yang.

Madam Yang’s face was haggard, she smiled bitterly and said, "No, today I came to warn you, it’s better not to help the Zhao Family because they are a pack of white-eyed wolves!"

"If you help them seize the Commander Flag, the Zhao Family won’t offer any reward!"

"On the contrary, if you make even the slightest mistake in the Dragon City Battle, they will blame everything on you, and you’ll surely die!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Madam Yang approached Lin Bai, speaking softly.

Upon hearing Madam Yang’s words, Lin Bai was particularly curious, since Madam Yang was a warrior from the Zhao Family, why would she speak ill of the Zhao Family now?

Madam Yang laughed coldly and said, "You must be puzzled, I was clearly a warrior of the Zhao Family, and even a direct lineage of the Zhao Family, why speak against them?"

Lin Bai smiled slightly, looking at Madam Yang.

Madam Yang said, "Because none of this matters anymore!"

"Lin Bai, I must be going!"

Lin Bai curiously asked, "Going? Where to?"

Madam Yang laughed and said, "Wandering the world!"

"I’ve had enough of Blackwater City, I’m disillusioned with the Zhao Family, it’s time to find a new place to live."

"Lin Bai, we may meet again when the Green Mountain remains unchanged and the Green Waters flow long!"

Madam Yang said with a gentle laugh.

After saying this, Madam Yang turned and walked away with the four handsome men, heading straight out of Blackwater City. As Lin Bai watched Madam Yang’s departing figure, he sensed her utter desolation.

Perhaps, Madam Yang really had given up on the Zhao Family!

After Madam Yang left, Lin Bai and Lin Ye finally returned to the Tang Family.

Time passed quickly for two days.

During these two days, not a single warrior from the Tang Family came to disturb Lin Bai.

Lin Bai was quietly cultivating in the small courtyard, while also instructing Lin Ye.

"Wild Beast Eight Styles..." Lin Bai found the Tang Family people today, to inquire clearly about the Qian Family’s ’Wild Beast Eight Styles’!

And the Tang Family’s efficiency was extremely high, in just one morning they found the ’Wild Beast Eight Styles’, which is essentially commanding Lin Ye’s punches in eight moves.

The Eight Styles of the Wild Beast are: Fury, Attack, Tear, Shock, Kill, Defend, Break, and Annihilate.

This is a set of cultivation skills tailor-made for Lin Ye, that only he can perform.

The Wild Beast Eight Styles, both offensive and defensive, complemented by Lin Ye’s supreme divine strength, the power is overwhelming!

During these two days, Lin Bai had Lin Ye perform the ’Wild Beast Eight Styles’ in his presence. After watching it, Lin Bai indeed felt the power of the Wild Beast Eight Styles was extraordinary.

As Lin Bai was having Lin Ye practice the ’Wild Beast Eight Styles’ in the courtyard, at this moment, outside Lin Bai’s small courtyard, Tangjing Xiu and Tang Yuezhi with pale faces walked in.

"Guest Official Lin Bai..." Tangjing Xiu walked in, his face pale, smiling at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai rose and, with a smile and clasped fists, said, "Patriarch of the Tang Family!"

Tangjing Xiu wasted no words, directly took out a treasure box from his Storage Bag, placing it in front of Lin Bai, and said softly, "This is what you wanted, the ’Houtu Divine Thunder Skill’!"

"Our Tang Family has given you this, hoping Guest Official Lin Bai will lend our Tang Family a hand in the Dragon City Battle!"

Tangjing Xiu placed the treasure box in front of Lin Bai, speaking with determination.

Lin Bai looked down and saw the treasure box was made of bronze, and at that moment there were still drying bloodstains on it, exuding a pungent smell of blood...
