Chapter 226: The Crisis of The Capital

Countless vengeful souls vanished into thin air, turning into black ash that floated above the evil sea. It was several layers thick. This was enough to see just how powerful Lin Bai’s sword was, and just how many souls it had sliced off.

Monstrous waves rose up above the black sea. Even the incomparably large vortex in the center was affected and was showing signs of slowly closing up.

“No!”

Lin Bai heard an unwilling roar from the depths of the vortex. The cold voice made his eardrums hurt.

The speed at which the arm reached out increased. The creature seemed to want to come out before the vortex closed. The waves churned, and even the space outside was affected. It became bleak once again.

Dark red tears seeped out of the eyeball in the center of the giant hand, leaving traces of blood. This drop of blood condensed the resentment and hatred of thousands of years. It gave off a fishy smell.

A rain of blood suddenly fell, and an evil aura emerged from the ground. Countless black shadows were summoned out to bathe in the rain of blood, so much so that their bodies were covered in a layer of red light. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they pounced toward Lin Bai.

Such a huge commotion had caused the ripples of space distortion to spread outside. Even though there was a formation to block it, the enormous aura had leaked out. The few great families and sects in the capital had all sensed the strangeness of the City Lord’s Estate.

Even the elders of some ancient families who were in closed-door cultivation, as well as the hermit powerful beings, had been alarmed. Although the history of that year had long since disappeared with the passage of time, leaving behind only a handful of relevant records and records, there were still some people who knew about the ancient battlefield and the matter of the City Lord’s Estate’s underground seal. After all, their ancestors had also participated in the seal back then, and it had been passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, they also knew about these secrets.

So many years of peace had passed. The City Lord was worried that it would cause panic. Therefore, only a few trusted aides and those who were involved in this matter knew about the loosening of the seal. Most people did not know about it.

Now, they saw black qi seeping out of the City Lord’s Estate and even the color of the sky had changed. For a moment, the hearts of the people wavered.

“Not good. There’s an incident in the City Lord’s Estate. Could it be that the seal has loosened… ?”

A few streaks of light beamed through the air, carrying a powerful aura. Everyone passing by looked around, and in a daze, they saw meteors flying toward the City Lord’s Estate.

Countless powerful figures and grand elders had walked out. This day was destined to not be peaceful.

It was clearly still daytime, but it suddenly dimmed. The enormous sun in the sky seemed to be covered by something, and an uneasy aura filled the entire capital.

There were already cultivators who had sensed that something was wrong. They wanted to know what exactly had happened and searched for the place where the abnormality had occurred.

The cultivators who were good at fortune telling placed the tortoise shells on the ground, ready to perform a divination. However, the simple tortoise shell scattered on the ground, but they could not calculate anything. They tried a few more times.

The tortoise shell fell to the ground one last time with a heavy sound. The ground was smashed into a big pit. There was an explosion on the spot. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He cried out involuntarily, “Why can’t I perform the divination?”

Black blood spilled on the cracked tortoise shell. It looked very ominous, and nothing could be seen on the divination. It was chaotic, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged in his heart. He wanted to know what the divination was all about.

He focused his mind and looked, trying to find the secrets of the heavens. However, countless black gases rose from the turtle shell, forming countless skeletons. He heard the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves.

He squeezed out a drop of blood from the tip of his tongue, and only then did he regain some consciousness. He quickly looked away, and when he looked again, the original place of the turtle shell had already turned black.

He once again spat out a large mouthful of blood and stared at the scene in front of him with his mouth agape. It had to be known that this was an unprecedented phenomenon. It was said that the secrets of the heavens could not be revealed, and this time, he had undoubtedly touched upon the secrets of the heavens, which was why he had suffered a backlash.

In the blink of an eye, his black hair instantly turned into white hair, and his cultivation had also dropped by a large amount. However, he muttered to himself, “Could it be that the capital is about to suffer a great calamity…”

The ordinary people still did not know that an unprecedented calamity was heading their way. They all walked out of their homes and looked at the spectacle in the sky, discussing animatedly.

“Could it be that the heavenly dog is eating the moon?”

“There has never been such an abnormality in the capital. Could it be that something big has happened?”

“If you ask me, you are worrying over nothing. However, the sun is blocked by the dark clouds. The capital has been safe for a hundred years. Under the protection of the City Lord, what kind of major event can happen?”

At this moment, Lin Bai still did not know that the commotion here had already affected the outside world.

Back then, the sword tomb had collapsed along with the Ruoshui sword’s recognition of him as its master. Then, it had entered his body and was sealed deep within his Dantian. It could be seen that the core of the sword tomb was the Ruoshui sword.

Although Lin Bai was the owner of the Ruoshui sword and had received the Sword Immortal’s inheritance, and could be considered half the owner of the sword tomb, he had never been able to find a way to use the sword tomb.

No matter how hard he tried, there was no reaction. It was as if it was just a decoration. As time passed, Lin Bai almost forgot about its existence.

Later on, in the Alchemist Association, Lin Bai accidentally entered the forbidden area and encountered a crisis. After the sword tomb automatically protected its owner, it disappeared again. He did not expect that when it appeared again, it would trigger such a grand scene.

Countless sword qi surrounded the rRoshui sword’s figure. It was clearly just a sword, but thousands of divine weapons appeared on its thin blade. Then, they all merged into one.

Lin Bai’s body was surging with an inexplicable power. The veins and blood in his body were all covered by the sword light, and it actually grew into a sword vein. This vein seemed to be independent and outside of his body.. The aura surging around his body made people shudder. It was really strange.

A silver sword-shaped mark even appeared on his forehead. It was faintly discernible and filled with supreme majesty, as if a real Sword Immortal had come to the world..
