Bai Bijiang's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he raged. The thunderbolts from his palms were unstoppable, forcing Jiang Chen to defend passively. The Black King and him were in great danger even when they teamed up. This battle was indeed too difficult for him.
However, Jiang Chen remained the same. He wanted to squeeze out every last bit of his strength. He wanted to continuously become stronger. Only by doing so could he continue to improve.
"How dare you fight me? You don't have the ability to do so."
Bai Bijiang's every move carried endless momentum. The invincible might of a Ninth-level Starlord was unstoppable. Jiang Chen and the Black King used all their means, but they were still losing ground. Bai Bijiang's momentum greatly inspired the disciples of the White Tiger Residence. This battle completely ignited the flames on the ruins. Facing the counterattack of the disciples of the White Tiger Residence, Da Huang, Long Shisan, and the others also gritted their teeth and charged forward. With the help of the monsters of the Ninth-level Starlords, the fierce battle did not stop for a while.
Jiang Chen was the only one who kept looking for an opportunity while retreating. Although he knew that he would lose, Jiang Chen's indomitable spirit shocked even Bai Bijiang. This guy was completely courting death. However, he was able to escape from Bai Bijiang's hands and retreat unscathed. Although he was in a sorry state, the black-robed man took most of the attacks for him. He was slippery like a loach and always managed to escape from death.
"Damn it! Since you only know how to escape, let's see my real killer move! "
Bai Bijiang struck out with both palms. Winds howled from his palms, and the winds and clouds shifted. A frightening palm strike came from all directions. His target was only one, to kill Jiang Chen! That was because Bai Bijiang was no longer in the mood to continue playing with him.
"Master, be careful!"
The Black King's pupils constricted. He took the lead and stood in front of Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen's expression was solemn as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He grasped the Sky Ascension Stairway and instantly teleported himself and the Black King away, vanishing from the spot.
"How is this possible?"
Bai Bijiang's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes narrowed. Jiang Chen's figure had already appeared a hundred meters away. Bai Bijiang was extremely puzzled. How did this guy do it?
"Die!"
Bai Bijiang's palm strikes were getting closer and closer. Jiang Chen was able to escape each time, but he could only passively defend himself. Every time he fought with Bai Bijiang, it was extremely dangerous, and he had a slim chance of survival.
What Jiang Chen wanted was the pressure of a life and death battle. Although he knew he was no match for Bai Bijiang, he still relied on the Stairway to Heaven. He knew he couldn't defeat Bai Bijiang, but with the help of the Stairway to Heaven, he still went ahead even though he knew he couldn't defeat Bai Bijiang.
Bai Bijiang couldn't help but fly into a rage out of humiliation. Every time he was close to killing Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen would always escape. Although Jiang Chen wasn't a match for him, Jiang Chen must have some amazing secret treasure that allowed him to teleport. That was enough to put him in an invincible position.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!
”
Bai Bijiang's palm slashed down like a blade. Jiang Chen retreated with great caution. His strength was constantly being squeezed out, but this wasn't the thrill of being abused. Instead, it was the growth that came from fighting an expert. He was growing with every exchange, and he was transforming with every second.
"Master Bai, please show mercy!"
Following a loud shout, a yellow-robed figure suddenly flew over and appeared between Jiang Chen and Bai Bijiang. His expression was grim and solemn.
"Your Highness, what's the meaning of this?"
Bai Bijiang's eyes were sharp. Leng Leng asked a question he already knew the answer to.
"There may be some misunderstanding in this matter. I hope Master Bai will show mercy. We can sit down and talk about it," Lin Tianlin said in a low voice.
Bai Bijiang was the Crown Prince after all. Although he was angry, he had to put aside his anger for the time being.
"A life for a life, a debt for a life. It's only right and proper! I couldn't do anything about Bai Lu and Bai Zhe's deaths in the Four Mansions and One Battalion Grand Competition. I've already done my best. However, he doesn't know what's good for him. How dare he behave atrociously in front of the White Tiger Mansion and kill the people of the White Tiger Mansion. This matter concerns the dignity of the White Tiger Mansion. Please make a decision, Your Highness. "
Bai Bijiang harrumphed coldly. His words were like pearls, pointing to Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen has saved my life before. He's like a famous teacher. Please calm down for the time being. It's better to squash enmity than keep it alive."
Lin Tianlin said.
"Teacher, may I know why this matter started?"
Lin Tianlin knew that Jiang Chen was not an unreasonable person. Logically speaking, there was no reason for Jiang Chen to behave atrociously in the White Tiger Prefecture and kill people to show off his power. To him, this was indeed not in line with his identity and temperament.
"Da Huang and Long Shisan were almost killed by the people of the Azure Dragon Mansion and the White Tiger Mansion. If I hadn't arrived in time, they would have died. How do you explain this matter, Master Bai? The competition in the Minorcosm World is a battle of life and death. Blades and swords have no eyes. Yet, you actually ordered your disciple to do such a dishonorable thing. Looks like this isn't what a gentleman would do. "
Jiang Chen sneered.
"Bullsh * t! As the Mansion Master of four manors and one camp, how could I do such a despicable thing? You're right, I do hate you and want nothing more than to hack you into a thousand pieces. However, as the Mansion Master, do you think I'd do anything to a junior? If I wanted to kill you, why would I cower and do such a dishonorable thing? Hmph, you're slandering me! "
Bai Bijiang's face was filled with arrogance.
"Who knows if the White Tiger Mansion is filled with repulsive, sinister, and cunning people? Hmph hmph! "
Jiang Chen said indifferently.
"You — nonsense! Today, I must seek justice for my dead disciple! "
Bai Bijiang's palm wind rose again. It was as powerful as a thunderbolt, and its killing intent was unstoppable.
"Mansion Master Bai! Wait! There's something fishy about this. Please think twice! "
Bai Bijiang's palm wind landed in front of Lin Tianlin, but it didn't strike him. After all, Lin Tianlin was the crown prince of the Lin Kingdom. His status wasn't something that could be shaken by anyone. Although he didn't have any real power now, nobody dared to ignore his status.
"Teacher! Tianlin is willing to swear on my head that this is not Mansion Master Bai's doing. It's highly possible that there's more to it. Please calm down. Let's discuss this further. "
Lin Tianlin wore a solemn expression. As the Mansion Master of four manors and one camp, Bai Bijiang was the Emperor's confidant. He only took orders from the Emperor. His status was second only to the Emperor, and he was extremely arrogant. The Mansion Masters of the four manors and one camp were all upright people. Otherwise, they would not have been entrusted with such an important task by the Emperor. Lin Tianlin believed this very much.
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and narrowed his eyes. Perhaps it was just as Lin Tianlin had said. This matter might have something to do with the White Tiger Mansion, but it might not have been planned by Bai Bijiang.
Chapter 4273: Death
Die for me to see
In a side hall of the White Tiger Mansion, Jiang Chen and Bai Bijiang sat facing each other. Their eyes were filled with the desire to fight.
Lin Tianlin sat in the middle. The three of them had complicated looks in their eyes.
"I trust Mansion Master Bai's character very much. As the Emperor Father's most trusted man, he would never secretly order the White Tiger Mansion to assassinate Da Huang, Brother Long, and the others, even though he has a grudge against Master. I can guarantee that. Everyone knows that Master has offended many people in the competition of the four manors and one camp. Therefore, it's highly possible that someone is making a big deal out of this matter to mislead the public. They want us to kill each other. Whether it's to kill Master or to weaken the strength of the four manors and one camp, it'll be of great benefit. "
Lin Tianlin narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.
"You're saying that someone is trying to make things difficult and mislead the public so that the four manors and one camp will fight against Jiang Chen?"
Bai Bijiang said in a low voice.
"That's right. Therefore, I suspect that it's that person's doing. If it's really him, it's obvious that he's up to something. "
Lin Tianlin looked at Jiang Chen and took a deep breath.
"If it's really him, perhaps you should be prepared."
Jiang Chen said.
"What on earth are you two talking about?"
Bai Bijiang was dumbfounded. He didn't understand what Jiang Chen and Lin Tianlin were talking about.
"Now that things have come to this, there's something I must tell you. Please keep it a secret for me, Mansion Master Bai."
Lin Tianlin rose to his feet and bowed slightly. He looked at Bai Bijiang with a solemn expression.
"Your Highness, I can't do that!"
Bai Bijiang rose to his feet immediately. No matter what, Lin Tianlin was the future Crown Prince. He couldn't afford to lose his status and etiquette.
"Your Highness, feel free to speak your mind. His Majesty is in closed-door cultivation, so you're half a master of the Lin Kingdom. I dare not act rashly. "
"Very well, Mansion Master Bai. I'll be frank with you. You're my father's most trusted aide. Tianlin doesn't dare to hide anything from you. "
Lin Tianlin took a deep breath. To him, making this decision was akin to putting his life in someone else's hands. He couldn't afford to underestimate it.
"I think the person who wants you to kill each other is the current Empress."
"How is that possible?"
Bai Bijiang's body sank, and his expression changed. The Empress was the Crown Prince's mother. Why would he suspect his own mother? Empress Lin was the motherly model of the entire Lin Kingdom, and everyone knew about her.
"I didn't believe it when I heard the news, but it's the truth. But the truth is that my mother has left me forever. The current Empress Lin is the Feather Clan member who was spurned by the Lin Kingdom. My mother is the Feather Clan member who was chased away by the Lin Kingdom many years ago. "
Lin Tianlin's eyes were moist as he spoke in a low voice.
"I can't talk nonsense about my mother's identity. The current Empress Lin is the evildoer of the Feather Clan! But I don't have enough evidence. Moreover, the Feather Clan's Monster Empress's influence in the Lin Kingdom is spread all over the Lin Kingdom. Since my father went into closed-door cultivation, she's practically in control of the Lin Kingdom now. The Lin Kingdom could be overthrown at any time. Once that Feather Clan demonic woman joins the Feather Clan and causes trouble for the human race, it will be the end of the human race. The consequences will be unimaginable. "
Lin Tianlin's words made Bai Bijiang's face darken, but he didn't say a word. He knew how serious this matter was, and it wasn't something that a Mansion Master of the Four Mansions and One Camp could control.
"I wanted to compete with her secretly, but I almost got Brother Long Shisan killed. Now, many people in the Lin Kingdom, including the Four Mansions and One Camp, have turned to the Feather Clan's Monster Empress. So, the whole story is probably the Feather Clan's Monster Empress's plot. As long as she gradually controls more than half of the Lin Kingdom's power, the Lin Kingdom will be in danger. Back then, she wanted to blacklist me, and that was why my strength plummeted. It wasn't until recently that I met Teacher that I gradually recovered. All of this is the Feather Clan's Monster Empress. "
"Teacher and the others have always been a thorn in her side. I'm guessing that she definitely wants to use this opportunity to kill Teacher. He has offended too many people from the Four Prefectures and One Battalion, and she just so happens to have the ability to mobilize the people from the Four Prefectures and One Battalion to plan this assassination. Even if she kills Teacher and the others, no one will suspect it. It's only logical because he has already been at odds with the people from the Four Prefectures and One Battalion. If he can kill the people from the Four Mansions and One Camp, it's a good thing for her. No matter what the result was, it would only benefit her and not harm her at all. It seemed to be a flawless plan, but it was precisely because she had misjudged the character and determination of the Four Constabularies and One Camp Lords that she had failed to take them down for so many years. This was enough to prove that Imperial Father's trust in them was unparalleled. However, it's also a good thing for her to be able to exhaust your strength in the end. It's very likely that Master misunderstood because of the assassination attempt by the disciples of the White Tiger Mansion and Azure Dragon Mansion. This could be a meticulously planned scheme. In summary, these are Tianlin's words from the bottom of his heart. I hope Master Bai will understand. "
Jiang Chen didn't refute Lin Tianlin's words because he trusted Lin Tianlin's words. Since Lin Tianlin was willing to use his life as a guarantee, he must have a lot of trust in Bai Bijiang. Moreover, he was telling Bai Bijiang everything he had. If he didn't have enough trust in Bai Bijiang, he wouldn't have done so.
Bai Bijiang sighed and nodded heavily.
"His Majesty once said that Crown Prince is his only successor. Now, it seems that it's true. His Majesty has a unique vision. Your Highness's words have enlightened this old man. The Lin Nation seems peaceful now, but in fact, undercurrents are surging. Maybe we really need to prepare for a rainy day. I, Bai Bijiang, have a clear line between love and hate, but I also know what is righteous. I am indebted to His Majesty for appointing me as the Mansion Master of the White Tiger Mansion to protect the Lin Nation. I, Bai Bijiang, am willing to listen to Your Highness's orders to eliminate the Demon Empress and help the human race! Until death. "
"Mansion Master Bai is a righteous man. Tianlin is deeply indebted to you for the Lin Nation."
Lin Tianlin said in a low voice with a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Since that's the case, since the Demon Empress of the Feather Clan wants to kill us with a borrowed knife, we'll beat her at her own game."
Jiang Chen said in a low voice. His eyes were sharp and murderous. That damned Demon Empress could only blame herself for attacking his brother. Not only her, but Jiang Chen would also kill the Feather Clan. Those demons with wings always wanted to unify the human race and take over the human race. This time, Jiang Chen would make them pay the price.
"What do you mean by that?"
Bai Bijiang and Lin Tianlin looked at Jiang Chen at the same time.
"Since she wants to kill me, then I'll die for her."
