Chapter 2784 - 2759: Martial Arts Competition Begins!
At dawn the next day, in Nan Wang Estate, Mo Chang got up and walked out of the Secret Chamber.At this moment, Housekeeper Lin approached with a smile and said, "Princely Heir."
Mo Chang nodded and asked, "Have you found out? Where did Lin Bai go after leaving Nan Wang Estate?"
Housekeeper Lin nodded and said, "To report to the Princely Heir, this old servant has found out that after Lin Bai left Nan Wang Estate, he stayed at Donglai Inn with the Sword Intention of a Nine-chi Sword Aura!"
Mo Chang’s eyes flickered: "Nine-chi Sword Aura!"
Housekeeper Lin said, "Yes, currently in Meng Gu City’s four inns, the premium rooms are all occupied by Warriors with a Nine-chi Sword Aura. These four are likely the best choices for the Sword God Family’s recruitment this time!"
"There’s another thing, Princely Heir, the Sword God Family has announced the time."
Mo Chang asked in surprise, "The Sword God Family announced the time? How long?"
Housekeeper Lin said, "Three days later. However, the rules for the Sky Sword City Competition are different this time. Instead of selecting just one person, the Sword God Family will be recruiting multiple people, selecting the best!"
Mo Chang’s eyes flickered as he said, "So, this time the Sword God Family might select many Warriors to join them together?"
Housekeeper Lin said, "Yes, according to this old servant, this is the largest gathering of Sword Cultivators in Meng Gu City in years, with many strong ones, including as many as four Warriors with a Nine-chi Sword Aura!"
"Thus, the Sword God Family probably plans to recruit all four of these Warriors with a Nine-chi Sword Aura into their ranks at once!"
"Therefore, they made an exception to change the competition rules, no longer taking just one person!"
Mo Chang lightly laughed, "In that case, this is also our opportunity. Recruiting a few more people increases the chances for Hu Han and Wan Xing considerably! As long as they display astonishing strength, I believe the Sword God Family will see their potential!"
...
In the morning, after a night’s rest, Lin Bai came to the window and looked at the rising Morning Sun.
In the room, Lin Ye sat in front of a pile of bones, all meat food delivered by Donglai Inn last night, now completely consumed by Lin Ye.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door, and the Waiter from the Outer Sect obsequiously called out, "Sir, are you awake?"
Lin Bai asked expressionlessly, "What’s the matter?"
The Waiter said, "It’s nothing major. I just came to inform you that the Sword God Family has scheduled the competition to start in three days, lasting for three days."
"At that time, all Sword Cultivators in Meng Gu City can go to Yunmeng Marsh, and once there at Sky Sword City, the competition can begin!"
"However, if Sword Cultivators haven’t arrived at Sky Sword City within three days, they will lose eligibility!"
Lin Bai said, "I understand."
The Waiter said, "Well then, sir, is there anything else I can assist you with?"
Lin Bai shook his head and said, "Just bring some more meat, please."
The Waiter smiled, "Alright."
Upon hearing the word meat, the sleeping Lin Ye suddenly woke up and looked at Lin Bai with surprise.
Soon, the Waiter brought in a large quantity of meat, and the now-awake Lin Ye began feasting on it.
"Three days..." Lin Bai stood at the window, holding a Green Gourd, drinking by himself.
During these three days, Lin Bai hardly left Donglai Inn, and other Warriors trying to meet Lin Bai were all refused by him.
Without being disturbed, Lin Bai smoothly spent three days in Donglai Inn!
On the morning of the third day at dawn.
Before the Morning Sun rose, Lin Bai heard the noisy sounds of Meng Gu City’s streets from his premium room.
Lin Bai awoke from cultivation, went to the window, and saw Sword Cultivators rushing out of Meng Gu City towards Yunmeng Marsh outside the city.
At this moment, a loud voice from an Old man resonated in Meng Gu City.
"All Sword Cultivators in Meng Gu City, listen up, this old man Dugu Fei, an Elder of the Sword God Family, is tasked to host this year’s Sky Sword City Competition!"
"Today the time has come, all Sword Cultivators in Meng Gu City wishing to participate in the Sky Sword City Competition can set out across Yunmeng Marsh to Sky Sword City!"
"From this dawn, the Sky Sword City Competition will last for three days, during which the Sword God Family will select exceptionally talented Sword Cultivators from within Sky Sword City and invite them to cultivate in the Sword God Family!"
"If you’re ready, you may set out now!"
"This old man, along with the other Elders of the Sword God Family, will welcome you in Sky Sword City!"
This loud voice spread throughout Meng Gu City.
And when Lin Bai heard this voice, his eyes sparkled brightly.
At this point, there was a sound at the door, and the Waiter said, "Sir, the competition has started!"
Lin Bai nodded and said, "I know, let’s go, Lin Ye."
Lin Bai called out to Lin Ye, who was still sitting on the ground with his meat. Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Lin Ye stood up from the ground and walked out of Donglai Inn with Lin Bai.
The Waiter saw Lin Bai off from Donglai Inn, marveling quietly.
Stepping onto the street, it was just the Dawn Moment, with the Morning Sun rising from the east.
Half of the Sword Cultivators in Meng Gu City had now left the city, heading towards Yunmeng Marsh.
Meng Gu City backs up to a mountain, and after crossing this mountain lies Yunmeng Marsh.
Yunmeng Marsh, as legend has it, is an ancient perilous land, filled with miasma and poisons that never dissipate, with terrifyingly formidable Demon Beasts and Fierce Beasts.
It is a paradise for Demon Beasts.
In the history of the Sky Sword City Competition, almost 90% of the Warriors have perished within Yunmeng Marsh, with only 10% worthy of entering Sky Sword City.
This shows just how treacherous a place Yunmeng Marsh is.
At this moment, Lin Bai, together with Lin Ye, followed the people flowing out of Meng Gu City, arriving at the Mountain Range behind the city, looking at the vast white mist-covered world ahead!
This is Yunmeng Marsh.
At the moment, not only Lin Bai, but other Warriors were also standing on the Mountain Range, looking out at Yunmeng Marsh.
"Yunmeng Marsh extends tens of thousands of miles north to south, with Sky Sword City right in the center!"
"No matter which direction we start from, it won’t take long to reach Sky Sword City!"
"Within Yunmeng Marsh, there are fierce, domineering Demon Beasts and deadly poisonous creatures; these are what we must be most cautious of!"
"..."
Many Warriors looked at Yunmeng Marsh with trepidation, not daring to enter easily.
Of course, there were also many Warriors who had made ample preparations and, reaching the mountain top without hesitation, plunged directly into the white mist, entering Yunmeng Marsh.
Lin Bai turned around and recognized a few familiar figures in the Crowd.
They included the Warriors from Zhennan Royal Mansion, among whom he saw Mo Chang, Wan Xing, Hu Han, and An Chuxue.
Although An Chuxue is a Warrior of the Nanzhou Continent, she has come to Meng Gu City and is quite close to Mo Chang, planning to enter Yunmeng Marsh together with the people from Zhennan Royal Mansion!
