Chapter 2875: Chapter 2850: If You’re Not Afraid to Die, Come at Me!
"Disciple Lin Bai, thanks the East Continent Academy for years of teaching grace!"
Lin Bai looked at Gu Daozhi, cupping his fists and bowing deeply.
Back then, Lin Bai ascended the Nine Heavens Primordial Ancestor Mountain, visiting Monarch Yuanzu, and that bow made Lin Bai a disciple of the East Continent Academy.
And today’s bow is to bid farewell to the East Continent Academy.
From now on, Under Heaven, there will be no more Saint Lin Bai!
Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Gu Daozhi painfully and helplessly closed his eyes, unwilling to continue watching.
Li Jiuge, his eyes blood-red, roared furiously: "Lin Bai, do you know what you’re doing? You scoundrel! Do you know what you’re doing?"
"Elder Gu Daozhi, today Lin Bai is not in his right mind; his words cannot be taken seriously!"
"I urge Elder Gu Daozhi to reassess!"
Li Jiuge hurriedly stepped out, cupped his fists, and said to Gu Daozhi.
Then, Li Jiuge looked at Lan Yuxin and said, "Lan Yuxin, aren’t you and Lin Bai close friends? Why are you silent now?"
Lan Yuxin glared at Li Jiuge, an expression of sorrow, but said nothing.
Li Jiuge then turned to Yin Jiuling, Ning, the Pale Old Strange Man, and others, saying: "What about you guys, Yin Jiuling, Ning, Lin Bai considers you Brothers, why aren’t you pleading for him now!"
Yin Jiuling and Ning remained silent, Yin Jiuling quietly watching Lin Bai with his eyes.
Seeing the other Quasi Holy Sons of the East Continent Academy all silent, Li Jiuge turned to Gu Daozhi and said, "Elder Gu Daozhi..."
"Li Jiuge!" At this moment, Lin Bai called out with a smile.
Li Jiuge originally wanted to plead for Lin Bai, but hearing Lin Bai’s voice, he turned back to look at Lin Bai, his expression dazed, a look of disbelief on his face.
"Why!"
Li Jiuge looked at Lin Bai and asked.
Lin Bai smiled and said: "After I leave, the Tianjiao of the Southern Yard should be led by you and Lan Yuxin. When the Eastern Courtyard and other Monasteries bully the Southern Yard in the future, please don’t stand aside!"
"Isn’t this the outcome you wish to see?"
"I am leaving the East Continent Academy, from now on the position of Saint is vacant, you are the most promising Warrior to become the Saint!"
Lin Bai smiled and said.
Li Jiuge smiled wryly: "A poor man does not accept charity! On Saint Island, you outshone everyone, becoming the Saint of the East Continent with your unrivaled talent. Even though I am unconvinced, you truly achieved it!"
"And from that moment, you have always been the Saint of the East Continent Academy, the Saint of the East Continent!"
"Even if you leave the East Continent Academy at this moment, I, Li Jiuge, will not participate in the Saint selection of the East Continent Academy anymore!"
"Because, in this era, there is already a Saint on the East Continent!"
"The Saint represents the strongest Tianjiao of the East Continent, and the strongest Tianjiao of this era already exists. Even if you leave, so what? As long as you live, any Saint selected would only be in name!"
"Such a Saint, I, Li Jiuge, disdain to become!"
Li Jiuge said coldly to Lin Bai: "Lin Bai, stop this nonsense, now if you yield to Elder Gu Daozhi, I will ask my father to plead to the Order Divine Court, I guarantee you will be safe, and you will still be the Saint of the East Continent!"
Li Jiuge sincerely said to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai chuckled lightly and said: "I didn’t expect that the one to hold me back from leaving the East Continent Academy is you!"
"No need, Li Jiuge, everyone has their own aspirations, I want to walk my own path!"
Seeing Lin Bai’s determination now, Li Jiuge shook his head with a dejected expression and silently returned to his seat, as if he had lost his soul, utterly downcast.
In Li Jiuge’s heart, it seemed he lost a good opponent.
At this moment, the Great Witch Emperor looked at Gu Daozhi and coldly asked: "Elder Gu Daozhi, with Lin Bai saying such words, do you have anything more to say?"
"Alas!" Gu Daozhi helplessly opened his eyes again, looked at Lin Bai, and said with compelling words: "Rebellious disciple Lin Bai, not abiding by the rules, defying Tiandao, from today deprived of the Saint position and expelled from the East Continent Academy, never allowed to set foot in the God-Demon Sea, henceforth, this person has no further connection with the East Continent Academy!"
"Henceforth, this person has no further connection with the East Continent Academy!"
"Henceforth, this person has no further connection with the East Continent Academy!"
"..."
With a single sentence, it was as if a heavy hammer slammed into the heart of every Warrior.
"Lin Bai, farewell!" Lin Bai cupped his fists and saluted towards Gu Daozhi and the Warriors of the East Continent Academy, bowing deeply.
The entire assembly of Warriors was instantly scared out of their wits!
"What does this mean?"
"Lin Bai has been deprived of the Saint position? Expelled from the East Continent Academy!"
"Heavens! This is the first time since the Mountain Splitting of the East Continent Academy that a Saint has been stripped of their title, expelled from the Mountain Gate!"
"From now on, Lin Bai is no longer the Saint of the East Continent Academy, nor will he be a disciple of the East Continent Academy, and is forever forbidden to enter the God-Demon Sea!"
"..."
Millions of Warriors were dumbfounded as they watched Lin Bai.
Some even laughed, mocking Lin Bai for being foolish.
Lin Bai was too foolish.
Countless Warriors yearned to become the Saint of the East Continent, and back on Saint Island, Li Jiuge and others went to great lengths, with every possible effort, to become the Saint of the East Continent, but none succeeded.
The Saint of the East Continent is not only the Saint of the East Continent Academy but also represents the strongest Tianjiao on the East Continent, future lord of the East Continent Academy, and the tenth elder of the Order Divine Court.
The Saint of the East Continent is respected wherever they go on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, even when they go to the Central Holy Nation, they must be given due respect.
The Saint of the East Continent has everything: fame, wealth, cultivation resources, power, women.
But they did not understand Lin Bai’s action, willingly giving up the Saint position of the East Continent Academy!
Gu Daozhi’s words were already clear, as long as Lin Bai returned, the East Continent Academy would not pursue the matter further, but Lin Bai remained resolute on the path he chose!
Hearing Gu Daozhi’s words, the Great Witch Emperor’s eyes gleamed, and he looked at Lin Bai again, coldly saying: "Lin Bai, since you are no longer the Saint of the East Continent Academy!"
"Then I, the Emperor, need not consider so much!"
"Now, I, the Emperor, give you one last chance, leave the Demon Slaying Platform, do not obstruct the proceedings of the Demon Slaying Conference, otherwise, I will see you as one of the Demon Sect, and kill you along with this witch!"
Without the title of Saint of the East Continent Academy, the Great Witch Emperor no longer feared Lin Bai and looked at him coldly, his words carrying an icy killing intent.
Lin Bai looked around at all the Warriors present and spoke in a loud voice: "Every word I say now, is not directed at the Great Witch Dynasty Emperor, but to all the Warriors present!"
"Listen well!"
"Today, anyone who wishes to kill her must kill me first!"
"You can fight me one-on-one, or you can all rush together, a hundred, a thousand, even a million, it doesn’t matter... anyone not afraid to die, come up!"
Lin Bai shouted coldly in anger.
