Hu Qi asked, "I seem to have heard Master mention the Blood Fiend before, is it related to the Giant God Clan?"
Lin Bai nodded and said, "That’s right, in the Spirit Realm, there exists a clan dominating all the heavens and myriad realms, known as the Giant God Clan!"
"And the blood of the Giant God Clan is one of the rare Divine Bloods in the myriad realms."
"To prevent their clan’s blood from being tainted by other warriors, the Giant God Clan cast a spell on certain special clansmen, known as the Burial God Curse."
"This Burial God Curse has only one effect: at the moment of a clansman’s death, all their blood turns into deadly poison. If not handled immediately, over the years, these bloods will give rise to a monster known as the Blood Fiend!"
"The monster that has now appeared in the Miracle Ridge is the Blood Fiend!"
Lin Bai said in a low voice.
Yin Jiuling asked, "How many are there in Miracle Ridge?"
Lin Bai’s expression was particularly solemn, "Impossible to estimate!"
Ning chuckled lightly, "Looks like we have a tough battle ahead."
Lin Bai gave a bitter smile and said, "Truly, as the tree wishes for calm, the wind will not stop!"
Just at this moment!
Lin Bai stood on the spirit boat and called softly, "Zhuo Lian, wait a moment!"
Zhuo Lian immediately ordered the spirit boat to stop.
Feeling the spirit boat stopping, Yin Jiuling and others came onto the deck, looked at Lin Bai and asked, "What’s wrong? Lin Bai!"
Lin Bai did not speak, but looked ahead.
At this moment, from the distant mountains, a giant walked step by step.
On this giant’s shoulder, sitting cross-legged, was a black-clothed swordsman wearing a mask.
Zhuo Lian immediately shouted, "Enemy incoming! Prepare for battle!"
Lin Bai raised his hand to interrupt, "Not an enemy!"
The giant approached the spirit boat, gradually shrinking in size, and the black-clothed swordsman landed in front of Lin Bai.
These two were indeed Lin Bai’s avatars.
Originally, they were rushing from the East Continent to support Lin Bai, but the battle with the Poison God Clan had already ended before they arrived.
So, Lin Bai told them not to come further.
Just as Lin Bai was about to return to the East Continent, he instructed them to wait along the way.
After the Sword Demon and the Giant God Clan avatar landed on the spirit boat, they merged directly into Lin Bai’s body and disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Lin Bai’s power surged once again.
"Let’s go!"
"Zhuo Lian, no need to go to Shenwu Kingdom, direct your spirit boat to the Miracle Ridge of the Territory of all nations!"
"Speed up with all your might, reach Miracle Ridge as quickly as possible!"
Zhuo Lian cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Senior Brother Dongfang!"
When Lin Bai apprenticed and honed his skills at the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, he used the alias "Dongfang Bai," so now the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain generally call Lin Bai Senior Brother Dongfang.
Lin Bai, used to it, didn’t feel much against it.
The spirit boat hoisted the Shenwu Kingdom’s flag, traveling unimpeded across the Southern Continent territory.
Seven days later, the spirit boat arrived at the southern border, re-entering the East Continent Territories.
"East Continent, I have returned."
Lin Bai looked at the vast expanse of the East Continent, his expression particularly emotional.
The last time Lin Bai left the East Continent, he was gravely injured, heading to find the Divine Spirit Pool.
But this time, Lin Bai returned not only healed, but his cultivation also reached the First Level of the Wending Realm.
The cultivation at the Wending Realm on this East Continent territory can be considered a master.
As per Lin Bai’s instructions, Zhuo Lian did not direct the spirit boat to Shenwu Kingdom but headed straight for Miracle Ridge.
Today’s Shenwu Kingdom is incomparable to before.
Shenwu Kingdom now controls half of the heaven under East Continent, with a strong army and cloud of powerhouses.
Therefore, the Imperial Capital of Shenwu Kingdom is no longer within the Territory of all nations, but has been moved to another territory, making it more convenient for Bai Xiaoxiao to strategize!
After ten days of full-speed flight, consuming an unknown amount of spiritual liquid and spiritual stones, the spirit boat finally returned to the Territory of all nations.
Standing on the spirit boat, Lin Bai saw the familiar Territory of all nations and saw countless warriors heading towards Miracle Ridge, their expressions seemingly excited.
Seeing their looks, Lin Bai could guess without much thought that they were treasure hunters.
The upheaval at Miracle Ridge, with the earth’s crust rising, all believed a heavy treasure was about to appear.
Zhuo Lian approached Lin Bai at this moment and whispered, "Senior Brother Dongfang, we should reach Miracle Ridge by noon. I have already instructed the other brothers of the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain to meet us."
"Additionally, I have notified Emperor Xiao; His Majesty has already departed from the Imperial Capital heading to Miracle Ridge!"
"Good, speed up a bit more, reach Miracle Ridge as soon as possible!" Lin Bai said softly.
Upon hearing Lin Bai’s instruction to increase the speed of the spirit boat, Zhuo Lian realized Lin Bai was indeed very concerned about the situation at Miracle Ridge.
The spirit boat sprinted, skimming over the Territory of all nations.
Originally, Zhuo Lian estimated they would arrive at noon, but Lin Bai urged them to speed up further, so they reached Miracle Ridge before noon.
Due to the half-month long journey, and the heavy load on the spirit boat, upon arrival at Miracle Ridge, the spirit boat had essentially become scrap.
"Miracle Ridge, we have arrived!"
As the spirit boat, swaying, approached above Miracle Ridge, strong figures flew in from all directions, numbering over seventy.
Among these seventy, Lin Bai saw many familiar faces, such as Jing Shu, Li Chou, Nie Xiong, Luo Xuan, Lei Yizhe, and others. They were the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain who had once ventured to the Holy Kingdom of Thousands Demons with Lin Bai.
"Senior Brother Dongfang!"
"Greetings, Senior Brother Dongfang!"
"I see you, Senior Brother Dongfang!"
"Senior Brother Dongfang, you have returned."
One by one, the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain called out with joy.
Upon hearing their calls, Lin Bai immediately said, "Save the talk for later, how is the situation at Miracle Ridge?"
Nie Xiong stepped forward and said softly, "The current situation is still manageable. Although the Blood Fiends show signs of breaking out of Miracle Ridge, the seals here can still hold for a time. We estimate that in at most two or three months, the Blood Fiends will break through the seals."
"Moreover, the Blood Fiends that have escaped so far have been exterminated by our brothers."
"Most importantly, more and more treasure-seeking warriors are coming to Miracle Ridge. If they discover traces of the Blood Fiends, it could cause quite a commotion."
Lin Bai’s expression darkened as he said, "Are there any Shenwu Kingdom troops here?"
Zhuo Lian cupped his hands and said, "Shenwu Sword God Camp has already arrived at Miracle Ridge!"
Lin Bai nodded, "Good, Zhuo Lian, transmit my order, let Shenwu Sword God Camp surround Miracle Ridge, no warrior should enter without permission!"
"Other brothers, kill any escaping Blood Fiends if possible, if not, notify me!"
"Nie Xiong, take me to where the Blood Fiends are escaping from!"
"Yin Jiuling, Ning, Hu Qi, Lin Ye, come with me!"
Lin Bai immediately instructed.
"Yes, Senior Brother Dongfang, I will immediately notify Shenwu Sword God Camp!" Zhuo Lian said.
Others of the Seventy-two Swordsmen of Xian Dong Mountain spoke together, "We will follow Senior Brother Dongfang’s orders!"
Nie Xiong said, "This way, please, Senior Brother Dongfang."
Afterward, Lin Bai took several people and flew away.
They entered the dense forest within Miracle Ridge.
Along the way, Lin Bai asked, "Is the Academy of the Miracle Ridge on Miracle Ridge still there?"
Nie Xiong said softly, "Since Emperor Xiao unified the Territory of all nations, an ancient path was opened on Miracle Ridge, allowing Lingdong’s warriors to peacefully cross the Primordial World of Miracle Ridge. Thus, many Lingdong warriors went directly to Lingnan to learn, and therefore, Academy of the Miracle Ridge closed three years ago."
"Now on Miracle Ridge, apart from some primordial variants and demon beasts, there are no other human clan forces."
"I see." Lin Bai nodded silently.
Nie Xiong led Lin Bai flying through the cloud sky above Miracle Ridge.
Lin Bai looked down and saw a fissure in the ground below, as if the earth had grown a pair of jaws.
Beneath that fissure, Lin Bai could vaguely feel a wave of destructive force.
"Senior Brother Dongfang, this is the place!"
Nie Xiong pointed to the fissure below and said softly.
