C2458 Start of the War

"You two, do you think that besides continuing on our path, there are any other paths of retreat?" Seeing the expressions of the jade artifact elder and Elder Seng Tan, the corners of Lin Bai's mouth gradually revealed a smile as he slowly said this.

In fact, not to mention them, even Lin Bai was shocked when the news of Jiang Wanli transforming into an immortal spread. Even though he had discovered that Jiang Wanli was extraordinary after taking a look at him with the help of the medallion, he hadn't thought that Jiang Wanli would be able to make such a big step in front of so many hidden experts.

How many years had it been since someone had turned into an Immortal? Even Lin Bai began to wonder if the so-called rose to immortality was just a lie set up by those people in the Celestial Realm.

But from the looks of it, everything was not as he had expected. Otherwise, how could Jiang Wanli have come to this?

However, Jiang Wanli's transformation into an immortal had also solved some of the doubts in Lin Bai's heart. Previously, when Jiang Wanli's figure appeared in the projection of the Immortal Token, he had felt a familiar aura from his body. At that time, he didn't know where this familiar aura came from, but now, it seemed that this aura was unique to immortals.

As for the matter of Jiang Wanli turning into an immortal, although it was indeed shocking for Lin Bai, it was far from the point of making him feel fear. It wasn't that he hadn't met immortals before, but that he had personally slayed two of them. At that time, he was still able to do such a thing and he didn't believe that he was not able to slay one.

Most importantly, from what he saw, Jiang Wanli was able to endure until now before leaking this information out. This meant that he had only become an Immortal not too long ago, and his foundation might not be stable yet. How could such an immortal-looking Immortal compare to the two people he had met before? And how could this make Lin Bai feel fear?

Needless to say, after he understood the immortal's intentions, Lin Bai already had a bad impression of the immortal's existence. He even regarded the slaying of the immortal as a heavy responsibility for his own shoulders. If Jiang Wanli turned into something else, it might cause Lin Bai to feel fear and lament in his heart. However, as he had turned into an immortal, he could only remain firm in his determination to kill Lin Bai.

However, he also understood that even if he did not fear immortals, it did not mean that the Jadeware Elder and Elder Zeng Tan would be like him, treating immortals as nothing. The existence of Immortals was something that countless people in the hidden realm yearned for. To the hidden world, it held far too much meaning. It would not be wrong to say that it was a mountain range that stretched before them.

In the past, they might have known about the existence of this mountain but it was fine that they could not see it. But now, this mountain had truly appeared before them. How could they not be afraid?

Not only them, the members of the Sword Pavilion and the Medicine Sovereign Valley were also in the same state.

After Elder Sai Tan and Elder Jade Artifact heard this, although they did not respond to Lin Bai's words, they could only bitterly smile. If what Lin Bai said was true, the situation had developed to this point. With their previous actions, the fight against the Spirit Spring Sect was already certain. There was no way to turn the situation around.

They were not confused by this, nor were they fearful of the possible death that might come to them because of the existence of immortals. They just weren't willing to allow the thousand years of inheritance from the Sword Pavilion and Medicine Sovereign Valley to end like this. If that was the case, then after their deaths, what face would they have to meet the ancestors of the Nine Springs?

The burden on their bodies was too heavy, and they had to bear too much of the burden. The reason they came to find Lin Bai and find out his tone wasn't because they really wanted to find a way to deal with Jiang Wanli, but because they wanted Lin Bai to give them some confidence that they could stand shoulder to shoulder with Lin Bai and fight on their own.

Obtaining some would let them know that this battle was not as hopeless as they had thought.

"If we can't retreat, we can only continue forward!" After chuckling, he said lightly: "Elders, please do not worry. I do not dare to guarantee anything else, but I believe that even if Jiang Wanli had turned into an immortal, I still have the strength to fight him. It is still too early to say who would win!"

Even though Lin Bai's tone was calm, his words were filled with confidence, and the confidence he exuded caused others to feel that there was no way to doubt him. To Lin Bai, it was as though everything was within his control and would not change.

Upon hearing these words, the jade artifact Elder and Elder Seng Tan looked at each other. Although Lin Bai's confident tone had slightly reduced their nervousness, it also made them feel slightly puzzled. They didn't understand where Lin Bai's confidence and confidence came from in the face of Jiang Wanli's transformation into an immortal …

"Elders, believe me, there is no need to fear. Instead of worrying, it would be better to think more about how we can make this battle more likely to win! " Lin Bai suddenly stood up, bowed deeply towards the two of them, and said with incomparable sincerity: "With the two of you helping me with all my might, I have nothing to repay you. I can only guarantee that even if the situation were to collapse, if it were irreparable, I would definitely die before the two of you!"

If the situation were to collapse, then I would die before the two of you! Although his words were spoken calmly, they gave off a sorrowful feeling. Moreover, throughout the entire world, what guarantee could he possibly have been more sincere?

"Since Brother Lin is not afraid of death, then why should we be afraid of you?" After living for so many years, those who were calm and peaceful would die, and those who were fierce would die. If he could drag an immortal down, then what else could be more vigorous? We will leave with you in this battle! To live and die together, and to fight together against a common enemy! "

The moment these words were spoken, the jade artifact elders and Elder Seng Tan immediately felt their hot blood boiling. An indescribable feeling of majesty was born in their hearts as they also clasped their hands and bowed towards Lin Bai before speaking in a deep voice.

At this point, they understood that at this point, other than continuing on as Lin Bai had said, there was no other way to proceed. They were also well aware that since Jiang Wanli had already turned into an immortal, then regardless of whether Lin Bai appeared or not, an unheard-of battle would unavoidably erupt at the end of the day.

Rather than waiting for that moment to come and wait for death, why not fight with all his might when Lin Bai was helping him? It was unknown if there would be an unknown turning point. Even if they truly failed, to be able to fight an Immortal, what was there to be ashamed about? Even in the underworld, if one met someone from the sect, they would still be able to straighten their back and speak.

"Let's declare war! Let the tide of the battle turn, and give the hidden world a choice, to submit or to die! " After a long period of silence, Lin Bai slowly straightened his back as the aura in his body greatly changed. He was like a world-shocking sword that, after being sealed in the dust, had finally been pulled out of its scabbard, releasing a monstrous sword's sharpness.

When Elder Zeng Tan and the Jade Artifact Elder heard this, although they were silent, the fighting spirit in their eyes was just like the fire in the earth at the time of the eruption of the Cauldron Mountain.

Lin Bai and the Spirit Spring Sect had officially started their war!

The jade artifact elder and Elder Seng Tan did not disappoint Lin Bai. After bidding Lin Bai farewell, they immediately issued a declaration of war to the world. At the moment this declaration was made, sound waves began to shake the heavens. Even the hidden worlds began to tremble in fear, and everyone was stupefied.

Although they already knew that the battle between the two was already at an inevitable step, the people in the hidden world still did not expect that all of this would happen so quickly. Especially Lin Bai's declaration of war; it was at the same time Jiang Wanli declared that he had become an immortal.

What kind of backing did they have to give them such confidence and make them feel like they had the power to fight against immortals?!

"If you want to fight, then I'll accept your invitation! "Killing my son and killing my fellow disciples, this kind of hatred, other than killing you, there is nothing else that can be avenged!" This time, the Spirit Spring Sect's response to Lin Bai's declaration of war was simple and straightforward. They didn't hesitate at all.

However, the one who responded to Lin Bai this time wasn't anyone else, but the silent Jiang Wanli from the start till now. From those words, he was decisive in killing. He was displaying his current power as an Immortal to the fullest.

"I can kill your son, and I can also kill your disciple. I can also take your dog life!"

Lin Bai was not afraid of Jiang Wanli's reply. His voice was sonorous as he shook the hidden world, and he replied forcefully, "Who do you think deities are? It's not like I've never killed a real immortal before. "I still have to say that. Wash your neck, Jiang, and you can wait for me to come get it!"

Each and every sentence from the declaration of war shook the entire universe, making everyone tremble uncontrollably. The collision between the two groups was no different from a comet hitting the Earth. The aftermath would definitely be an incomparably terrifying earthquake.

However, everyone was even more clear that this fierce battle was more suited to be called a confrontation between Lin Bai and Jiang Wanli than a clash between two colossal beings.

This was because what really decided the outcome of the battle was not the jade artifact Elder and Elder Seng Tan, as well as the Elders and Elites of the Spirit Spring Sect. Instead, it was Lin Bai and Jiang Wanli, the two backbone. Their victory or defeat was the key to everything.

The power of an immortal was unrivalled, and it was a power that surpassed immortals. Among these two, there was bound to be an answer!
