Su Jin looked at Lin Bai and said, "Lin Bai, I know why you came to the Central Holy Nation! I also know what you want to do at the Celestial Monitoring Ministry?"
"Moreover, I guess you might be a descendant of one of the strong ones among the Eighteen Immortals of Peach Mountain?"
"You went to the Celestial Monitoring Ministry to investigate the matter of Lin Duo back then?"
Hearing Su Jin’s words, Lin Bai then reacted, realizing that Su Jin considered him a descendant of the Eighteen Immortals of Peach Mountain, but he didn’t know that Lin Bai was the only son of Lin Duo.
Lin Bai said, "What makes you say that?"
Su Jin said, "Back then, Lin Duo created the Dragon Slayer Sword Technique, making the geniuses of the Barbaric Ancient Continent bow their heads, and after its establishment, Lin Duo only taught it to the Eighteen Immortals of Peach Mountain, and only passed on a few moves!"
"Except, within Kunxu, Lin Duo left the legacy of the Dragon Slayer Sword Technique to Li Subai!"
"You were able to cultivate the complete Dragon Slayer Sword Technique, so you should have a considerable connection with Kunxu!"
"Are you a disciple of Kunxu? Or an illegitimate child of Li Zhengyi of Kunxu?"
Lin Bai said expressionlessly, "None of your concern!"
Su Jin nodded and said, "Indeed, these matters have nothing to do with me!"
"However, you need to know, if you want to uncover the events of back then on the land of the Central Holy Nation, you must go to the Celestial Monitoring Ministry!"
"I can tell you how to get to the Celestial Monitoring Ministry!"
Lin Bai asked, "How?"
Su Jin walked forward, speaking coldly, "If you want to know, follow me! If you don’t, then don’t follow!"
Su Jin flew away, heading straight for the horizon.
Lin Bai stood on the mountain top, hesitated for a while, shook his head helplessly, stomped his feet, and chased after Su Jin’s steps.
"According to what you said, it seems I have to follow you for this period of time? Then there are some things I need to clarify first. How many enemies do you have? Who can be killed? Who cannot?" Lin Bai came to Su Jin’s side and asked softly.
Su Jin laughed and said, "Anyone who strikes at us can be killed; in the Central Holy Nation, as long as you don’t kill people of the Imperial Court, generally you won’t cause too much trouble!"
Lin Bai silently nodded.
"Where are we heading now?"
Lin Bai asked.
"Jian Lake!" Su Jin’s face suddenly turned cold, spitting out the two words icily.
On the way to Jian Lake, Lin Bai asked, "Why does the Governor’s Guard of Longhe County want to arrest you?"
Su Jin laughed, "Two reasons, one is that an order was given from above, the other is that the Governor of Longhe County wants to acquire Jian Lake’s town sect ultimate technique!"
"Let’s go, I’ll explain slowly when we reach Jian Lake!"
Su Jin smiled lightly as he spoke.
But Lin Bai could see that Su Jin’s smile carried a trace of bitterness and age.
The two flew stealthily over Longhe County for a full seven days, avoiding cities along the way, whenever they encountered the Governor’s Guard, Su Jin would lead Lin Bai to hide far away.
Seven days later, Su Jin and Lin Bai arrived in front of a mountain range.
This place seemed like it was inhabited; judging by the terrain and layout of this mountain range, it looked powerful, as if it was the mountain gate of a great sect.
"We’ve arrived!"
Su Jin said softly.
Su Jin landed, walked forward step by step, stepped onto the ancient path, and headed into the mountains.
Following behind Su Jin, Lin Bai walked slowly.
As they walked along the ancient path, Lin Bai saw signs of combat among the trees on both sides, with a large number of trees toppled.
And upon reaching the front palace, Lin Bai looked up, seeing an endless cluster of palaces in the mountain range, but at this moment these palace clusters had all been destroyed, turned into ruins.
In the ruins of the palaces, there seemed to be corpses already decayed!
"It seems there was a fierce battle here?" Lin Bai asked quietly.
Su Jin walked among the palace clusters, smiled faintly, and said, "Yes!"
Lin Bai followed behind Su Jin.
Su Jin slowly began to speak, "About half a year ago, the Celestial Monitoring Ministry suddenly reported to the Central Holy Nation, saying Jian Lake was conspiring rebellion."
"The next day, Hanging Sword Agency sent people to Jian Lake to investigate."
"Our Jian Lake declared its conscience clear, allowing the Hanging Sword Agency to investigate!"
"The Hanging Sword Agency investigated within Jian Lake for a whole month and found no signs of rebellion at Jian Lake."
"When the Hanging Sword Agency left, we at Jian Lake thought this matter was over!"
"But unexpectedly, the next month after Hanging Sword Agency returned to the Holy Kingdom, strong ones from the Dragon Slaying Ministry came to Jian Lake!"
"Jian Lake was truly wronged, but the Dragon Slaying Ministry claimed to hold the Emperor’s order to annihilate Jian Lake!"
"And the evidence they had was merely a nebulous prophecy from the Celestial Monitoring Ministry!"
Lin Bai curiously asked, "What prophecy?"
Su Jin said, "The Celestial Monitoring Ministry said, within one year at Jian Lake, there must be one person, holding a sharp sword, who would ascend to the Cloud Sky, sword finger pointing at the Emperor!"
"Just because of this nebulous prophecy, the Central Holy Nation ordered the Dragon Slaying Ministry to massacre all 35,000 disciples of Jian Lake completely!"
"I myself was seriously injured, forced to flee to the East Continent!"
"To seek you in the East Continent!"
Su Jin said with a low, bitter smile.
At this time, several young men suddenly walked out from the ruins of the front palace, surprisingly the Governor’s Guard of Longhe County, upon seeing Su Jin, they exclaimed, "Su Jin!"
Su Jin’s eyes flashed, raising his hand with a sweep, sending a wave of Sword Aura, directly annihilating these Governor’s Guard members under the Sword Aura.
This lifting hand and foot could annihilate dozens of Governor’s Guard; such strength couldn’t be achieved by an ordinary Wending Realm.
Clearly, Su Jin’s strength was extremely strong.
But after this strike, Su Jin also clutched his chest, coughing lightly, spitting some blood from his mouth.
"You’re injured?" Lin Bai said in surprise.
"Haha, don’t worry; I’m already nearing my end." Su Jin smiled wanly, "Did you really think it was easy to escape from the hands of the Dragon Slaying Ministry? There must be a price to pay!"
"Originally, I could last a year or so, but earlier in Qingyun City, I was calculated by Qin Yun, poisoned, causing my injuries to flare up!"
"Barring an accident, in at most a month’s time, I..."
Su Jin paused his words here, smiled bitterly, then changed the subject, saying, "There are still many Governor’s Guards stationed here, we need to be more cautious, but rest assured, since it’s been over half a year since the Dragon Slaying Ministry’s massacre, the Dragon Slaying Ministry wouldn’t stay in Jian Lake foolishly waiting, so there won’t be any strong ones from the Dragon Slaying Ministry here!"
Lin Bai asked, "The warriors who escaped from the Dragon Slaying Ministry at Jian Lake? How many are left? Is it just you?"
