The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Chapter 671 - 669: Jian Xuan’s whereabouts!

Chapter 671: Chapter 669: Jian Xuan’s whereabouts!Lin Bai spent the entire night in Ling Tianzi’s study room.

Throughout the night, Lin Bai earnestly listened to Ling Tianzi’s teachings.

The following morning, Lin Bai stood on the White Cloud Peak, bidding farewell to Ling Tianzi and Li Shanqing.

"What was the true purpose of Master’s visit to the Spirit Sword Sect? I asked many times last night, but my Master didn’t answer me explicitly." Lin Bai watched Ling Tianzi and Li Shanqing leave, speaking in confusion.

Ling Tianzi and Li Shanqing left, leaving Lin Bai alone on the White Cloud Peak.

"Anyway, I need to focus on my training. Master said that the day we meet again will not be far once I reach the pinnacle of martial arts in the Barbarian Ancient Continent."

"I shall strive hard!"

"Just in time, I have to look for my parents as well!"

Lin Bai descended the White Cloud Peak intending to return to his residence and figure out how to get the Thousand Star Bead from the Shengyue Sect.

But at this moment.

As Lin Bai descended the White Cloud Peak, Lijian Xing ran up gasping for breath, calling out to Lin Bai, "Oh, Lin Bai, what are you doing here? I’ve been

Clearing his throat slightly to regain his composure, Su Jiannan said, "Lin Bai, your guess is correct. Finally, Sword Xuan’s whereabouts have appeared."

"So where is Sword Xuan Senior Brother now? And why didn’t he return to the Spirit Sword Sect in hundreds of years?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Su Jiannan said to Li Qingxuan, "Qingxuan, you tell him."

"Alright!"

Li Qingxuan replied, "A year ago, our Spirit Sword Sect received a tip suggesting that after escaping from the Spirit Sword Sect, Sword Xuan Senior Brother went to the Dayue Kingdom and disappeared without a trace."

"After more than a year of investigating in the Dayue Kingdom, I finally found some clues related to Sword Xuan Senior Brother."

"Someone said that Sword Xuan Senior Brother, gravely injured and on the brink of death, fell outside a city of the Dayue Kingdom, only to be taken away soon after."

"After asking around, I finally found out who took him away," Li Qingxuan explained.

Curiously, Lin Bai asked, "Who?"

Li Qingxuan said, "The Shengyue Sect!"

Buzz——

Upon hearing this name, Lin Bai squinted his eyes.

Why would the Shengyue Sect take Sword Xuan?

Lin Bai asked, "So, is Sword Xuan Senior Brother in the Shengyue Sect now?"

Li Qingxuan calmly said, "After I found out that the person who took Sword Xuan Senior Brother was a disciple of the Shengyue Sect, I disguised myself as Li Yao and infiltrated the Shengyue Sect. After several months of investigation, I’m sure that Sword Xuan Senior Brother is currently imprisoned in the forbidden area behind Shengyue Sect’s mountain."

"Because a month ago, I tried to sneak into the forbidden area to see what was inside."

"But I accidentally heard from a guarding disciple that a person had been imprisoned there for a hundred years."

"This time aligns. Sword Xuan Senior Brother left a hundred years ago."

"And I learned from them that the reason they were keeping this person was because they had a big secret."

"The Shengyue Sect intends to get this secret, so they’ve kept him alive."

"So there’s also a purpose. Sword Xuan Senior Brother’s sudden escape indeed has a big secret related to it!"

Li Qingxuan said, pausing for a moment.

Excitement flashed in Su Jiannan’s eyes as he said, "Qingxuan, these are all your guesses. Do you have any more definite evidence that Sword Xuan is really being held by the Shengyue Sect?"

Li Qingxuan replied, "Yes! After learning this news, I wanted to look inside the forbidden area. When I sneaked in and shouted Sword Xuan Senior Brother’s personal name, an answer came from inside!"

"However, Sword Xuan Senior Brother’s condition is probably vastly different from our memories of him."

"Sect Leader, I hope you are prepared."

As he spoke, sadness shadowed Li Qingxuan’s face.

When Lin Bai heard this, he immediately understood. Since the Shengyue Sect kept Sword Xuan alive, they wanted him to reveal the secret.

If Sword Xuan refused to speak, he would undoubtedly be subjected to inhuman abuse.

This reminded Lin Bai of Tie Feng in the Qingling Mountain Range...

When Zhao Rong forced Tie Feng to reveal Lin Bai’s whereabouts, Tie Feng refused, and Tie Feng’s fate....

And now, how similar are Tie Feng and Sword Xuan...

Would Sword Xuan’s fate be any better than Tie Feng’s?
