Chapter 2019: Chapter 2016: The Suling Siblings
The Sky Valley Mountain Range is located in the south of Evil Dragon Island, serving as the division between the depths and outskirts of the island. Once you cross the Sky Valley Mountain Range, you enter the most dangerous area of Evil Dragon Island.
Previously, Lin Bai saw the white-robed woman in front of the Sky Valley Mountain Range. It seems she intends to go deep into Evil Dragon Island to hunt even stronger monsters.
Outside the Sky Valley Mountain Range, the beautiful woman approached Lin Bai with a sincere smile, accompanied by four others.
Lin Bai turned his gaze towards these four, his expression emotionless.
The woman noticed Lin Bai’s slightly changed demeanor, seemingly colder than before, and casually said, "Please don’t misunderstand, young man. I am Suling Su, an Outer Sect disciple from the Southern Yard."
"Today, I’m taking my younger brother to travel on Evil Dragon Island, seeking an opportunity for him to break through the Life-and-Death Realm."
"I see that you only possess the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Yangshen Realm, so I assume you are also an Outer Sect disciple, hence why I wish to invite you to join us."
"We Outer Sect disciples are not as strong as the Inner Disciples, so we travel together to keep an eye out for each other."
"If you feel inconvenienced, then we’ll forget it."
This beautiful woman, Suling Su, smiled faintly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai was momentarily stunned, chuckling inwardly: So they regard me as an Outer Sect disciple...
As Lin Bai was frowning in thought, the young man beside Suling Su, who looked younger than her, impatiently said to Lin Bai, "Sister, if he doesn’t want to join, then forget it. After all, we have Senior Brother Jiang Heng, which is enough."
"Isn’t that right, Senior Brother Jiang Heng?"
After glancing at Lin Bai impatiently, the young man turned to a handsome young man beside him. When looking at him, Suling Su’s brother’s face showed enthusiasm and admiration.
The young man smiled slightly and said, "Ling Shan is right. Ling Su, if others don’t want to join, then forget it. We are also enough."
Suling Su’s brother is named Suling Shan.
And the young man named Jiang Heng is the second warrior at the First Level of the Life-and-Death Realm among the five.
Among these five, both Suling Su and Jiang Heng are warriors at the First Level of the Life-and-Death Realm, while Suling Shan and the other two, like Lin Bai, possess the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Yangshen Realm.
Hearing Suling Shan and Jiang Heng’s words, Suling Su resignedly shook her head, cupped her hands, and said to Lin Bai, "Originally, I wanted to invite you to join us, but if it’s inconvenient for you, then I apologize for the disturbance. Farewell."
Seeing Suling Su saying goodbye, Lin Bai finally spoke with a smile, "Hold on, Senior Sister Suling Su. If my joining doesn’t inconvenience you, then I’d be willing to accompany you, as I’m not very familiar with the Sky Valley Mountain Range."
Suling Su, upon hearing this, immediately said with delight, "That’s great! Having one more person means we have more strength in the Sky Valley Mountain Range and more safety."
Lin Bai smiled subtly, saying nothing.
However, her brother, Suling Shan, said sarcastically, "Sister, what do you mean one more person means more safety? With Senior Brother Jiang Heng accompanying us, we’re already very safe. Senior Brother Jiang Heng is about to enter the Inner Gate."
"And he... should just try not to cause trouble."
Suling Shan looked at Lin Bai disdainfully and said.
Upon hearing Suling Shan’s words, Lin Bai frowned slightly.
Jiang Heng shook his head and said, "Forget it, Ling Shan. If your sister wants this person to follow, then let him follow. As long as your sister is happy, I don’t mind."
As Jiang Heng spoke, he looked at Suling Su, his eyes filled with affection.
Suling Su, hearing Jiang Heng’s words, smiled slightly. Although she was smiling, Lin Bai could tell that there was a trace of disdain in Suling Su’s eyes towards Jiang Heng.
Suling Su said, "I don’t yet know the surname and name of the young man here?"
Lin Bai cupped his hands and smiled, saying, "I am Lin Bai!"
Suling Su smiled and said, "Junior Brother Lin Bai, let me introduce my friends to you."
"This is my brother, Suling Shan."
"This is Senior Brother Jiang Heng."
"This is..."
Suling Su introduced the members of the group to Lin Bai one by one, and Lin Bai cupped his hands in greeting.
"As for the monsters we’ll slay in the Sky Valley Mountain Range later, the Spiritual Energy Crystals we acquire will be temporarily kept by me. Every evening, we’ll divide them equally. Junior Brother Lin Bai, how does that sound to you?"
Suling Su asked with a smile.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "No problem."
Suling Su said, "Then, let’s set off."
As she spoke, Suling Su led the group into the Sky Valley Mountain Range.
Lin Bai followed along with the group.
Lin Bai noticed that Suling Shan was extremely admiring of Jiang Heng and hardly spoke to his sister along the way, continuously conversing with Jiang Heng.
And Jiang Heng seemed to enjoy being admired by Suling Shan, his face revealing a hint of pride and arrogance. While chatting with Suling Shan, he also occasionally explained some sword art to him.
"Sword Art?"
Lin Bai listened with interest as Jiang Heng explained sword art to Suling Shan.
It was then that Lin Bai realized Jiang Heng, Suling Shan, and Suling Su were all sword cultivators.
At this moment, Lin Bai suddenly felt his mind stir and hurriedly called out to Suling Su, "Senior Sister Su, be careful, there are enemies."
Suling Su, hearing Lin Bai’s words, was shocked. Her beautiful eyes immediately shone as she drew a sharp sword from her storage bag, warily scanning the surroundings.
At that moment, Jiang Heng and Suling Shan also quickly focused their attention.
The other two also drew their weapons to prepare for battle.
In that instant, beneath Lin Bai and the others, the smooth mountain surface violently twisted. With a loud rumble, it transformed into a stone demon.
The moment the stone demon appeared, it swung a fist directly at Lin Bai and the others.
Lin Bai and the others quickly responded, and with Lin Bai’s warning, Suling Su immediately looked stern and struck decisively, a heaven-reaching sword aura sending the attacking stone demon flying.
Preventing the stone demon from injuring the group.
"It’s a stone demon of the Second Level of the Life-and-Death Realm."
"That was close! If not for Junior Brother Lin Bai’s warning, if the stone demon struck, we would have been in trouble."
"Yeah, it really was close."
The other two said, still shaken.
Suling Su was also surprised, realizing that if it weren’t for Lin Bai’s timely warning, the stone demon’s punch would have been quite troublesome for them.
Jiang Heng was also slightly shaken and coldly said, "I was explaining sword art to Ling Shan, so I didn’t notice the beast."
Suling Su gratefully said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Lin Bai."
Lin Bai nodded slightly.
Possessing the Realm of Slaughter, Lin Bai had discovered the stone demon’s presence the moment it was about to strike.
"Since we managed to find the stone demon, let’s strike together and kill it quickly," Suling Su said solemnly, in a cold voice.
Immediately, Lin Bai, Suling Su, Jiang Heng, and the other five wielded their weapons and attacked the stone demon together. After several moves, they swiftly slew the stone demon.
