Free Web NovelChapter 2874: Chapter 2849: From This Day Forth, There Is No More Saint Lin Bai
"Since that’s the case, there’s only one choice: to fight!" Lin Bai looked at the roaring voices of millions of warriors and saw their ferocious expressions, his eyes also revealing a trace of coldness.
The Demonic Sword was unsheathed, held tightly in his hand.
A chilling light spread from Lin Bai’s body, coupled with Lin Bai’s icy and piercing gaze, causing the roaring voices of millions of warriors to instantly feel as if frozen.
The entire audience was dumbfounded, blankly staring at Lin Bai.
The Great Witch Emperor glanced over and immediately, with a cold expression, spoke to Gu Daozhi, "Elder Gu Daozhi, is this the intention of your East Continent Academy?"
Gu Daozhi was also somewhat dumbfounded by Lin Bai’s actions. Facing the accusation of the Great Witch Emperor, he retorted irritably, "Didn’t you hear what he said? It’s his personal intention!"
The Great Witch Emperor responded coldly, "If it’s his personal intention, he is the Saint of East Continent Academy. Does this Academy intend to stand aside and ignore his reckless behavior?"
Gu Daozhi’s expression turned solemn.
As the Great Witch Emperor said, Lin Bai is now the Saint of East Continent Academy, deeply respected by the warriors of the East Continent. Every move Lin Bai makes represents the East Continent Academy.
At the Demon Slaying Conference, witnessed by countless from the East Continent, as a leader of the Righteous Path, Lin Bai’s actions are indeed inappropriate.
Gu Daozhi, with determined eyes, looked at Lin Bai and coldly said, "Saint Lin Bai, as an Elder of the Order Divine Court, I command you to return at once and cease this nonsense."
Lin Bai raised his eyes to look at Gu Daozhi and said lightly, "I am not being nonsensical!"
Gu Daozhi shouted furiously, "Do you really intend to oppose the warriors of the East Continent today? Do you truly plan to rescue this witch here today?"
"By disrupting the Demon Slaying Conference, I have defended you non-stop because you are the Saint of our Academy!"
"But by doing this, have you considered the East Continent Academy? Haven’t you kept the Academy in your heart? Do you still regard yourself as the Saint of the East Continent?"
Gu Daozhi roared.
Lin Bai gazed at Gu Daozhi, his lips slightly curling without speaking.
Gu Daozhi calmed himself slightly and said in a gentle tone, "Saint Lin Bai, enough is enough. Return to your place now; you are still the Saint of the East Continent!"
"The future ruler of the East Continent Academy!"
Gu Daozhi looked at Lin Bai earnestly.
Within his heart, Gu Daozhi did not know whether it was hate or love for Lin Bai.
Hate, because Lin Bai once wreaked havoc in the Ancient Clan and even killed several Tianjiao of that clan.
Love, because Lin Bai showcased extraordinary talent.
Even Gu Daozhi had to admit, Lin Bai’s talent on the Barbaric Ancient Continent today is unparalleled.
For the Ancient Clan, Gu Daozhi could ignore Lin Bai’s actions, even if Lin Bai were to be killed by the Great Witch Dynasty, it would have nothing to do with Gu Daozhi.
But for the East Continent Academy, Lin Bai is its Saint, its future ruler. Once he grows stronger, his sword aura will sweep across the Barbaric Ancient Continent.
At that time, under Lin Bai’s leadership, the East Continent Academy could reach a new zenith, even competing with the Central Holy Nation!
Lin Bai asked Gu Daozhi, "What if I am unwilling to return to my place?"
Gu Daozhi’s eyes trembled, showing reluctance, biting his teeth, and spoke lowly, "If you insist on committing such a great betrayal today, then I, on behalf of the East Continent Academy, have no choice but to strip you of the Saint title and banish you from the mountain gate!"
Whoa—
Hearing this, Lin Bai’s expression was somewhat shocked.
The entire crowd of warriors stared at Gu Daozhi in astonishment.
To strip the Saint title and to banish him from the mountain gate.
If it were any other warrior, banishment would be simple, but Lin Bai is different. He is a Tianjiao who stood unparalleled on Saint Island, the only Saint of the East Continent.
The strongest Tianjiao in the East Continent.
If they gave up Lin Bai, it would be an enormous loss for the East Continent Academy!
"Hmm?" Zhang Yushan, from the Sky Area’s Zhang Family, was shocked, staring at Gu Daozhi.
Li Fu, Ancestor from Kunxu, said in surprise, "Since the establishment of the East Continent Academy, there has never been an incident of stripping the Saint title and banishing from the mountain gate!"
Su Cheng of the Su Clan in the Everlasting Night City, whispered, "Is the East Continent Academy really going to take the first-ever step ... to break a Saint?"
Breaking a Saint, severing a Saint.
For any power, breaking a Saint is a severely crippling act.
Even the Emperor of the Great Witch Dynasty was looking with some surprise at Gu Daozhi. He originally just wanted Gu Daozhi to suppress Lin Bai, so the Demon Slaying Conference could proceed smoothly, yet he didn’t expect Gu Daozhi’s stance to be so unyielding.
At the periphery of the plaza, stood two middle-aged men side by side, who were Fu Qingshuang and Lan Ling.
Fu Qingshuang said, "Gu Daozhi is indeed overbearing!"
Lan Ling smiled indifferently, "Though the Lan Clan and the Ancient Clan never get along well, I must say, no matter how fiercely we clash, our hearts are set on striving for the East Continent Academy!"
"I fully understand the reluctance in Gu Daozhi’s heart in making this move!"
"Gu Daozhi knows even better than I do that Lin Bai’s value to the East Continent Academy goes far beyond just being the position of a Saint. Lin Bai might be the future Supreme for the Academy!"
Lan Ling said coldly.
Fu Qingshuang said, "What a pity, Gu Daozhi must now make the painful decision to let go."
Lan Ling replied, "Indeed, if Lin Bai continues his solitary path today against the warriors of the East Continent, then if he still wears the Saint title of the Academy, the Academy might be dragged into the abyss by him!"
"Gu Daozhi is doing the right thing!"
Lan Ling said, looking at Gu Daozhi.
Lan Ling and Gu Daozhi, as clan leaders of the Lan and Ancient Clans, were both rivals and friends, often crossing paths, hence they understood and were familiar with each other deeply.
Lan Ling deeply knew the helplessness in Gu Daozhi’s decision today.
Gu Daozhi took a deep breath and said, "Saint Lin Bai, come back!"
Lin Bai looked at Gu Daozhi, his eyes somewhat flickering, then shifted his gaze to the white-haired woman.
The white-haired woman’s face still wore an insolent smile, as if she was merely a spectator, as if none of this was related to her!
"Lin Bai, don’t make a mistake!" Li Jiuge also stood up at this moment, shouting at Lin Bai.
The relationship between Li Jiuge and Lin Bai was also both as rivals and friends.
At this moment, Li Jiuge did not want to see Lin Bai steps into a dark path.
Lan Yuxin showed a look of suffering and helplessness, but she held her tongue.
While Yin Jiuling and Ning and others silently watched Lin Bai, awaiting his decision.
As for Bai Xiaoxiao, she simply watched Lin Bai, quietly supportive of whatever decision he made.
Under the expectant gaze of Gu Daozhi and Li Jiuge, Lin Bai withdrew his gaze from the white-haired woman, looking up at Gu Daozhi, and spoke words resoundingly, "Disciple Lin Bai, thanks the East Continent Academy for years of teaching and grace!"
Hearing these words, Gu Daozhi pain-strickenly closed his eyes.
These words declared Lin Bai’s stance!
He... will not return!
With these words spoken, it signifies from henceforth under heaven, there will be no Saint Lin Bai!
