The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Chapter 2847 - 2822: Hidden Ghostly Motives

Within the Sword God Family, the Ye Clan.In the main hall of the Ye Clan, Yejian Zun sat with a sullen expression on the chair, his gloomy face almost dripping with anger as he glared below.

"I didn’t expect Lin Bai to have ascended!"

"And I didn’t expect... Lin Bai to have such a deep relationship with the Edgar Clan!"

"That old fox Edsword Lord! He remains unobtrusive and yet managed to win Lin Bai over!"

"It seems this time Lin Bai traveled all the way from the East Continent to the Sword God Family for the Edgar Clan!"

Yejian Zun murmured.

Now, seeing Lin Bai so close to the Edgar Clan, Yejian Zun speculates that Lin Bai was invited by the Edgar Clan to the Sword God Family, with the intention of having Lin Bai ascend Sword God Mountain, seeking opportunities for the Edgar Clan!

Upon hearing Yejian Zun’s speculation, Ye Qingtian said, "What Sword Venerable says is reasonable, Lin Bai is the Saint of the East Continent, and compared to the Northern Continent, the cultivation resources in the East Continent are richer; Lin Bai has no reason to come to the Northern Continent!"

"If it is indeed as Sword Venerable says, that Lin Bai was secretly invited by the Edgar Clan, and Lin Bai entered the Sword God Family through Sky Sword City, it’s all arranged by the Edgar Clan to divert attention!"

Ye Qingtian said blandly.

Yejian Zun murmured, "I’ve underestimated that old fox Edsword Lord!"

"This will not be good. No matter what Lin Bai obtains on Sword God Mountain, if he gives it to the Edgar Clan, it won’t be long before the Edgar Clan rises again!"

"This is not a good thing for the Ye Clan!"

Ye Qingtian’s eyes flashed, nodding slightly.

Yejian Zun murmured, "Especially if that secret is discovered by the Edgar Clan’s warriors; they might immediately turn against our Ye Clan!"

Ye Qingtian said meaningfully, "What Sword Venerable refers to is..."

Yejian Zun said coldly, "Our Ye Clan is the guardian of the Edgar Clan, merely slaves to the Edgar Clan!"

"Even long ago, the ancestors of the Ye Clan fought hard to rid themselves of the slave title, even going as far as to destroy most of the legacy of the Sword God Family!"

"Any records concerning the Ye Clan were destroyed, even if it was just a few words!"

"Thus, the Ye Clan earned the right to be equal with the Edgar Clan!"

Yejian Zun murmured.

Ye Qingtian nodded slightly, taking a deep breath.

"Ye Jianjun!" At this moment, Yejian Zun suddenly turned to a certain person in the great hall, calling softly.

Ye Jianjun’s eyes flashed, clenching his fist and saying, "Sword Venerable!"

Yejian Zun said coldly, "Three days hence is your duel with Lin Bai at Mu Mountain. Initially, I did not agree with you battling the Saint of the East Continent!"

"Because, either you kill the Saint of the East Continent, or he kills you, it’s not very good for our Ye Clan!"

"But now, it seems I must support you in doing so!"

"At Mu Mountain, you must kill Lin Bai and bring back his storage bag. I believe in his storage bag, there are definitely other treasures!"

"Perhaps he hid some treasures without giving them to the Edgar Clan!"

"Once we get his storage bag and find some treasures within, then we shall stand equal to the Edgar Clan again."

Yejian Zun said firmly.

"Are you confident in killing Lin Bai?" Yejian Zun asked.

Upon hearing Yejian Zun support him in battling Lin Bai, Ye Jianjun immediately smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Sword Venerable, I will absolutely not lose this time and will kill him swiftly!"

"I will also let the whole Under Heaven’s warriors know, among the sword cultivators of the younger generation, I, Ye Jianjun, am the leader!"

Yejian Zun said with praise, "Good, with such resolve, I believe in you!"

...

Within the Sword God Family, the Edgar Clan.

In the main hall, only Edsword Lord and several other elders were present.

In the dim light, the elders murmured, "Sword Venerable, even though Saint Lin Bai offered the Jade Slip, there is only one... I don’t believe he obtained only one Jade Slip on the Sword God Path!"

"He certainly has hidden something!"

The elders of the Edgar Clan all said.

The other elders nodded slightly, indicating agreement.

The Edgar Clan, holding the Jade Slip, chuckled lightly and said, "Even if he hid something, what can we do? Can we do anything to him?"

The other elders were startled, saying, "He should be made to hand over his storage bag for us to thoroughly search!"

Upon hearing this, Edsword Lord laughed, "Search his storage bag? Humph, I think you’re still dreaming!"

"Don’t forget his identity!"

"He is the Saint of the East Continent Academy, the Saint of the East Continent, the foremost warrior of the East Continent!"

"Even if there are hidden things in his storage bag, do we actually dare to detain this Saint of the East Continent?"

"If we forcibly leave him, and this news reaches the East Continent Academy, do you think the four ancient families of the East Continent Academy are really a bunch of pushovers?"

"One hundred thousand years ago, the God-Demon Sect was the foremost Great Sect, and a century later, although the sects splintered, one survived as the Divine Sect and remains one of the few potent forces today!"

"Never underestimate the strength of the East Continent Academy!"

Edsword Lord said coldly.

The other elders grudgingly said, "Sword Venerable, are we going to just watch as Lin Bai carries away the treasures of our Sword God Family?"

Edsword Lord said softly, "He currently bears the title of the Saint of the East Continent Academy, and across the Barbaric Ancient Continent, only the Central Holy Nation dares to challenge him, no other force would dare harm him!"

"Moreover, we have obtained what we wanted!"

"This Daoist Rhyme Jade Slip is enough to lead our Edgar Clan back to glory!"

"I can break through to the Taoist Realm with this!"

Edsword Lord clenched the Jade Slip tightly, his expression filled with delight.

"Congratulations, Sword Venerable!" Upon hearing this, the other elders said excitedly.

Edsword Lord smiled slightly and said, "Of course, apart from this Jade Slip, Lin Bai also gave us another gift!"

"I always thought the Ye Clan was a family existing alongside our Edgar Clan!"

"Yet now Lin Bai claims that the Ye Clan is merely a servant to our Edgar Clan, forcing me to reconsider the existence of the Ye Clan!"

The elders were taken aback, their faces darkened at the mention of the Ye Clan.

Edsword Lord said, "I can tolerate the existence of the Ye Clan, but I cannot tolerate the old Sword God Family’s lost legacy records!"

"Nor can I tolerate a family that, against the hierarchy, reverses the role of master and servant under my nose!"

"But this cannot be rushed!"

"Everything will be reassessed after I break through to the Taoist Realm!"

Edsword Lord said solemnly.

Edsword Lord was already a warrior at the peak of Great Perfection in the Wending Realm, a mere step away from the Taoist Realm; over the years, he comprehended Heaven and Earth, and explored the path to the Taoist Realm, already having some insights.

Now, having obtained this transformative Jade Slip, he felt even more assured.

Therefore, Edsword Lord believed that having acquired the Jade Slip, even if Lin Bai had other treasures, as far as he was concerned, it wasn’t of great concern!
