The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 2557 - 2532: The Origins of Li Subai

"You want to let Lin Bai leave; this matter should be discussed with me first!"

Mo Wenshen said coldly.

Li Zhengyi sat in the Great Hall, hearing this, smirked and said, "Lin Bai came to Kunxu for cultivation, not to be imprisoned. He is a free man. Since he wishes to leave, I naturally must let him go!"

"Besides, Lin Bai is a distinguished guest invited by the Kunxu Li Clan. Since he is their esteemed guest, whether or not to let him leave does not require consultation with you."

"Am I, as the Lord of Kunxu, not even able to decide on this matter?"

Li Zhengyi said coldly.

Mo Wenshen and Li Zhengyi clashed head-on; both were supreme hegemons under Heaven.

Li Zhengyi, the Lord of Kunxu, possessed unfathomable strength, a dominant figure!

Mo Wenshen, the Envoy of the Central Holy Nation, backed by the most powerful force on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, the Central Holy Nation!

Mo Wenshen said coldly, "If it were another warrior, I wouldn’t care if you let him go, nor would I want to. But Lin Bai, this person, currently holds significant suspicion!"

"Don’t you know?"

Mo Wenshen said coldly.

Li Zhengyi laughed and said, "What suspicion? Just your conjecture. Where is your evidence?"

Mo Wenshen said coldly, "There was no evidence before, but now there is!"

Li Zhengyi smiled and said, "Then why don’t you present the evidence!"

Mo Wenshen said coldly, "Alright, Li Zhengyi, let me ask you, did you grant Lin Bai the qualification to cultivate the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills, and allow him to choose treasures at will from the Kunxu Divine Tower?"

Li Zhengyi nodded calmly and said, "Yes, that’s because Lin Bai, before the Heavenly Saber Tribe, rescued core members of the Li Family. It is the reward he should receive!"

Mo Wenshen said coldly, "The Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills and the treasures in the Kunxu Divine Tower are the foundations upon which Kunxu stands. For an ordinary warrior, cultivating the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills is as hard as ascending to Heaven!"

"Just because Lin Bai saved a few core members you consider insignificant before the Heavenly Saber Tribe, you kindly rewarded him with the qualification to cultivate the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills?"

Li Zhengyi remained calm and continued, "Indeed, I did not handle this matter appropriately. The Elder Pavilion later questioned me on this, which is why I organized the Battle of the Ten Children to select ten potential Li Family warriors for cultivation in the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills as well!"

Mo Wenshen sneered coldly and said, "Very well, Li Zhengyi. I knew long ago you were articulate, and it seems your rhetorical skills are still sharp as ever after all these years!"

Li Zhengyi said, "I am just stating the facts!"

Mo Wenshen said coldly, "Then let me ask you again! Did you promise Lin Bai that whenever he made a request, as long as it was within Kunxu’s capabilities, the Kunxu Li Clan would unconditionally fulfill it for him?"

Li Zhengyi nodded and said, "Yes, that’s because Lin Bai, in the Bone Withering Secret Realm, fought fiercely for three days and made outstanding contributions to the Li Family. All Li Family martial artists wholeheartedly admire Lin Bai!"

"If I did not make some gesture, how could other Li Family martial artists be convinced?"

"Besides, Lin Bai later used this promise, and I fulfilled it!"

Mo Wenshen said coldly, "There was no need for you to make such a promise to Lin Bai!"

"Li Zhengyi, are you paving the way for Lin Bai!"

"By making this promise, do you think Lin Bai will one day inevitably have a use for Kunxu?"

"Or rather, do you believe that Kunxu will eventually stand on Lin Bai’s side?"

Li Zhengyi said expressionlessly, "Mo Wenshen, these are all rewards from Kunxu to Lin Bai. As the Lord of Kunxu, how I reward Lin Bai is my affair!"

"Does it concern you?"

"You accuse me of paving the way for Lin Bai? Why should I do this! What reason do I have to do this?"

Li Zhengyi said coldly.

Mo Wenshen snarled fiercely at Li Zhengyi, "You do! Of course, you have a reason!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Because you are the elder brother of Li Subai!"

"If Lin Bai truly is the son of Lin Duo and Li Subai, then he is your nephew! He is the cousin of Libu Zheng! The cousin of Libu Xian!"

Mo Wenshen’s words, sharp as knives, looked coldly at Li Zhengyi, speaking this passage.

After hearing, Li Zhengyi’s face remained expressionless.

In the Great Hall, after a long silence, Li Zhengyi said coldly, "He is not Lin Duo’s son!"

Mo Wenshen said coldly, "Then why do you care so much for Lin Bai? Paving the way for him, granting him the opportunity to cultivate the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills, allowing him to enter the Kunxu Divine Tower and choose treasures at will!"

"Fulfilling any request Lin Bai makes of Kunxu unconditionally!"

"Isn’t all this your support for Lin Bai?"

"Granting him the opportunity to cultivate the Kunxu Seventy-Two Skills, are you not aiding him in strengthening himself?"

"Fulfilling Lin Bai’s requests so that one day, if Lin Bai truly stands against the Central Holy Nation, you have legitimate reason to have Kunxu assist Lin Bai?"

"Li Zhengyi, you old fox!"

"Li Zhengyi, don’t forget, over twenty years ago, we were brothers in arms, cultivating together, exploring together, venturing across the world, I know your character too well!"

"What you are doing for Lin Bai today is laying the groundwork for when Lin Bai faces the Central Holy Nation in the future!"

"And when you say to assist Lin Bai within Kunxu’s capabilities, you actually want to allow Lin Bai to use this opportunity to have Kunxu intervene when facing the Central Holy Nation!"

"Isn’t that right?"

Mo Wenshen said coldly.

Li Zhengyi, hearing this, glared viciously at Mo Wenshen and shouted, "If Lin Bai truly is the son of Lin Duo and Subai, do you think I would stand by if he faced the Central Holy Nation in the future?"

Mo Wenshen said coldly, "If Lin Bai does not make this request of Kunxu, of course, you would stand by!"

"Li Zhengyi, don’t forget, how did Kunxu survive? How did you become the Lord of Kunxu!"

"If you hadn’t knelt to submit to the Central Holy Nation, Kunxu would have perished in that great battle over twenty years ago!"

Hearing this, Li Zhengyi could no longer suppress the rage within, stood furiously, and shouted coldly at Mo Wenshen, "Enough! Mo Wenshen, you are too presumptuous!"

Mo Wenshen’s face remained icy, looking at Li Zhengyi, coldly saying, "Whether right or wrong, Li Zhengyi, I hope you don’t forget, the traitor was not just me!"

"You are also a traitor!"

"If Lin Bai truly is Lin Duo’s son and seeks vengeance for his father, among the souls claimed by his sword, you will surely be one of them!"
