The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 2539 - 2514: High Priest! Cui Qing!

Lin Bai and Fang Dehao slowly walked through the mountains with the medicine gathering team of the Ninth Squad from the Heishan Tribe, as the blood-red sunset spilled like blood over the Heishan Mountain Range.

From afar, Lin Bai saw under a mountain a series of endless dwellings, most of which were crafted as wooden houses, with a few luxurious palaces.

Following the medicine gathering team, Lin Bai entered the Heishan Tribe and noticed that each yard in the dwellings had a simple medicine garden planted with a variety of spiritual medicines.

Although the population within the Heishan Tribe was not large, it still numbered about fifty to sixty thousand people, making it one of the smaller tribes among the 108 Tribes of Kunxu.

"The medicine gathering team is back."

"Elder Zhang, how was the harvest today?"

"Looking at your medicine gathering team, it seems like today’s harvest was pretty good."

"Eh? Who is this person? He doesn’t seem like one of our warriors from the Heishan Tribe?"

"..."

As the medicine gathering team entered the Heishan Tribe, the passing warriors warmly greeted Fang Dehao, while others cast curious glances at Lin Bai who accompanied him.

After Fang Dehao responded to these warriors one by one, he said to Lin Bai, "Brother Dongfang, our tribe is simple, forgive us if it lacks sophistication."

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "No worries, although it is simple, there is a sense of the Dao’s natural aura within."

Fang Dehao smiled slightly, "Simple is simple, what Dao’s natural aura, Brother Dongfang is really good with words. Please come with me, after we submit the spiritual medicines, I’ll take you to meet our High Priest."

"A warrior from the Broken Sword Tribe arriving at our Heishan Tribe is not a trivial matter, I must report to the High Priest."

Fang Dehao said with a smile.

Lin Bai nodded with a smile, "Okay."

Then, Lin Bai followed Fang Dehao to submit the spiritual medicines they had gathered today and received their rewards before heading to the luxurious palaces within the Heishan Tribe.

Upon hearing that there was a warrior from the Broken Sword Tribe, the High Priest of the Heishan Tribe was thrilled and promptly summoned Lin Bai in person.

"Brother Dongfang, our High Priest is inside, please proceed."

Fang Dehao said with a smile.

Lin Bai, expressionless, nodded and stepped up the stairs into the palace, encountering an elder in a purple robe, exuding immortal wind and bone, standing in the great hall, smiling as he looked at Lin Bai.

"I am Dongfang Bai, greetings to the High Priest of the Heishan Tribe." Lin Bai entered the great hall and promptly cupped his fist in a salute.

The High Priest laughed, "Haha, Fang Dehao told me there was a strong one from the Broken Sword Tribe, I didn’t believe it, but upon seeing you today, the sword intention soaring to the sky and profound cultivation, it must be true."

"I am Cui Qing, the current High Priest of the Heishan Tribe."

The elder in purple robe said.

Lin Bai cupped his fist in salute again.

At this moment, the sunset outside disappeared, and the last ray of light vanished between heaven and earth.

The entire Kunxu was shrouded in eternal night.

Even with the bright moon overhead and the sky full of stars, their glow seemed unable to reach the Heishan Tribe.

The Heishan Tribe was still a pitch-black darkness.

In the great hall, Lin Bai and Cui Qing chatted for a long time, fortunately, Lin Bai was skilled in deceit, and in his relaxed chats with Cui Qing, he did not reveal any flaws, making Cui Qing completely believe Lin Bai was a warrior from the Broken Sword Tribe.

Cui Qing said, "Hahaha, what a pleasant chat, I forgot the time, it’s getting late, I’ve already arranged a banquet, Brother Dongfang, please!"

Lin Bai smiled, "Thank you for the hospitality!"

Then, Cui Qing and Fang Dehao walked out of the great hall and set up the banquet in a side hall.

As Lin Bai and Cui Qing arrived at the banquet, Lin Bai saw many other warriors on both sides, their cultivation ranging from the first to the ninth realm of Death Reversal.

Cui Qing arranged for Lin Bai to sit down and announced the start of the banquet.

One by one, maids delivered delicious dishes, and some even had spiritual medicine as accompaniment.

Cui Qing said with a smile, "I hope Brother Dongfang doesn’t mind the simple fare."

Lin Bai smiled reluctantly and nodded slightly.

At this moment, Cui Qing stood up and addressed all the warriors present, "This brother is named Dongfang Bai, a warrior from the Broken Sword Tribe!"

"Brother Dongfang, the warriors here are either elders or outstanding warriors from my Heishan Tribe."

"Haha, we have long been residing here at the Heishan Tribe, and aside from selling spiritual medicines, we rarely connect with other tribes, so these warriors haven’t seen much of the world!"

"By chance, we met Brother Dongfang today, and I wanted to broaden their horizons."

"I hope Brother Dongfang doesn’t mind."

Cui Qing said with a smile.

Lin Bai chuckled lightly and said, "As warriors, we should travel thousands of miles to witness the different landscapes of the world. Today, being fortunate to be seated with outstanding warriors from the Heishan Tribe is indeed my honor."

Lin Bai glanced around the room and saw some middle-aged men and elders, presumably the elders of the Heishan Tribe.

Lin Bai also noticed a few young men and women, who undoubtedly were the outstanding warriors of the Heishan Tribe.

Lin Bai looked at them, and among them, two men and one woman particularly caught his attention.

The two men wore black attire, their faces chiseled, eyes sharp, and when Lin Bai looked at them, their eyes also scrutinized Lin Bai, their expressions arrogant.

The woman, despite having a stunning beauty, was as cold as ice.

Lin Bai smiled at these three, then ignored them!

The banquet proceeded smoothly.

Cui Qing said to Lin Bai with a smile, "Brother Dongfang, I heard from Fang Dehao that you came to the vicinity of the Heishan Tribe to hunt down a prey?"

"Our tribe is quite familiar with the surroundings, if you need assistance from the Heishan Tribe, feel free to ask."

Lin Bai smiled lightly, "Indeed I chased a prey here, it’s called the Flying Sky Eagle, its flying speed is extraordinarily fast, making it difficult for me to catch up."

"However, I speculate that it should be not far around the Heishan Tribe, it can transform into a devil cultivator!"

Cui Qing frowned and said, "A transformation-capable devil cultivator, that’s hard to find."

Lin Bai used this as an excuse.

In reality, Lin Bai was indeed chasing Li Ge here.

Based on the escape technique that Li Ge previously displayed, Lin Bai deduced that Li Ge should be somewhere nearby the Heishan Tribe, but Lin Bai couldn’t ascertain the exact location.

Lin Bai said, "He was severely injured by me, and now fleeing here, he probably needs to find a place to heal or find a strong one to seek revenge on me!"

"Is there such a place around the Heishan Tribe?"

Lin Bai asked tentatively.
