Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two and a half years had passed.
Compared to the bustling Shanhai Pass two and a half years ago, the Shanhai Pass now seemed very quiet.
Two and a half years ago, there were more than 14000 swordsmen in Shanhai Pass. There were battles on the defensive line every day, and the entire Zhou Tian Star Formation was very lively.
But now, there were less than 1,000 people left in Shanhai Pass. This was the minimum number needed to maintain the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation. Almost all the ancient sword grade swordbearers had been evacuated. Only a few ancient sword grade swordbearers remained in the more important positions.
As for the number of Famed Sword Rank swordbearers, it did not decrease. This was because every Great Heavenly Cycle Star Banner had to be guarded by a Famed Sword Rank swordsman. This was the only way to maintain the stability of the Great Heavenly Cycle Star Formation despite the large number of Ancient Sword Rank swordsmen being lost.
Ever since it was confirmed that Zu Wu's essence blood had been destroyed and that all the Wu people could not be revived, the humans, under the leadership of Guhan and Liunian Ling, started to kill all the Wu people. The Wu people, who had lost their ability to revive and their Great Shamans, could not resist the slaughter led by Guhan and Liunian Ling. 200,000 Wu people were killed in a year, and it was estimated that only a few thousand Wu people were left hiding in the dense forests. If the humans wanted to kill the rest of the Wu people, they would have to pay a heavy price.
Therefore, after some consideration by the Sword Committee, they believed that the Magi in Shanhai Pass were no longer a threat, so they began to transfer the sword bearers away in batches. In the end, it became the current situation. Gu Han also went from leading more than 7,000 sword bearers to less than 500 sword bearers.
If not for the fact that the Famed Sword Level sword-bearers could not be transferred away, the Twelve Grand Shamans might have broken through the suppression of the Great Heavenly Cycle Star Formation, and the humans would have transferred the last Famed Sword Level sword-bearers away.
However, the famous swordsmen in the Zhou Tian Star Formation had all been transferred away by the Sword Committee. Some of them had only been in Shanhai Pass for less than a year, but they were also transferred away. As for Liunian Ling, after confirming that the Wu people were no longer a threat, she left Shanhai Pass immediately. She had only been in Shanhai Pass for a year and a half.
What puzzled Guhan was that ever since they broke up that day, Liunian Ling had started to deliberately distance herself from him.
Not only did she refuse to accept any of his calls, she did not even look at Guhan when they fought side by side. It was as if Guhan did not exist … Liunian Ling did not even inform Guhan when she left Shanhai Pass. She left on her own. It was hard to believe that the two had been in a heated relationship before this.
Guhan felt a dull pain in his heart. He did not know why Liunian Ling would treat him like this, but Guhan knew that the root of the problem must be with the Liunian Clan. So, Guhan had to make a trip to the Liunian Clan and find out the truth about the Black Tortoise. But before that, Guhan had to spend three years in Shanhai Pass.
After killing all the Wu people, Guhan actually had nothing to do for a year and a half. This became a rare time for Guhan to relax. He brought his swordmistress around Shanhai Pass and perfected his swordsmanship at the same time … One should not underestimate this year and a half. Before this, Guhan had been like a clockwork machine, advancing without regard for anything else. Although Ling looked mighty and powerful, Guhan was already exhausted internally. His body was filled with all sorts of hidden injuries, both physical and mental.
After a year and a half of recuperation, Guhan's entire temperament had changed. He had gradually become more reserved from the sharp and unparalleled swordsman. He had retracted all of his sharpness into his body. He usually looked no different from an ordinary person on the side of the road. It was hard to imagine that Guhan was an unparalleled and powerful swordsman.
All in all, after dealing with the Wu people, Guhan had completely disappeared. Not only was there no news about Guhan in the real world, but even the Military Governor in the game did not come online again.
Humans were forgetful creatures. No matter how famous the admiral was back then, when he didn't have any new events, when there were other people with explosive news, humans would always be attracted by these new things and gradually forget about this person who had once caused them to gasp in surprise.
That was why when a familiar-looking fellow suddenly appeared in a teahouse in the game, no one around recognized that this was the Admiral who had once been popular throughout the game.
"Look!
Isn't that 'The Toad Who Eats Black Chicken White Phoenix Pills'?
Why is he here? "
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the teahouse. It turned out that a person with glossy hair and the aura of a successful person walked into the teahouse with four swordmaidens behind him.
This person was none other than 'The Toad Who Eats Black Chicken White Phoenix Pills' who had recently become very popular in the game.
"It's too noisy here.
Let's go to a private room! "Toad sat opposite Guhan, touching his glossy hair and said with a silly smile.
"It's fine!
This place is pretty good. "
Guhan shook his head and pressed a button on the table. A few curtains automatically extended from both sides of the teahouse, turning the originally public teahouse into a rather small enclosed space.
"F * ck!
Since when did this teahouse have such an advanced function?
Why didn't I know about it! "Toad said in surprise.
"I think it's because you haven't been to a teahouse for a long time!" Guhan smiled faintly. "Looks like you've been doing well with Ying Zheng!"
"What Ying Zheng … We still like to call him Boss Yaoguang!"
Toad scratched his head in a simple and honest manner, then began to order all sorts of drinks for the four swordmaidens beside him. "Recently, Boss Yaoguang has mentioned four big goals to achieve, which is to make Yaoguang Sword Faction the number one sword faction in the game. We've been so busy running around, how could we have the time to come to a small place like this to drink tea!"
"Is that so?
Is Ying Zheng finally ready to make a move against the Stormy Waves Sword Faction? "
Guhan said in a slightly mocking tone. Three years ago, he had put in a lot of effort to push Yaoguang Sword Faction into the ranks of the top ten sword factions. Who would have thought that after three years, Yaoguang Sword Faction was already preparing to snatch the title of number one sword faction?
However, there was nothing strange about this. Yaoguang had long announced his true identity as Ying Zheng in the game, attracting a large number of fans to join Yaoguang Sword Faction in real life. Yaoguang Sword Faction's strength was not inferior to the Stormy Waves Sword Faction. In fact, its overall strength was more than ten to twenty percent. On top of that, Ying Zheng had already become an Emperor Sword wielder in the game, so it was only natural that he wanted to snatch the title of number one sword faction.
"I say, Sour Popsicle, for the past three years, other than communicating with me occasionally, you haven't expressed any other intentions. Why do you suddenly want to meet me today?" Toad asked curiously.
"I heard that you've become a Famed Sword wielder in real life!" Guhan didn't answer Song Hama's question. Instead, he asked Song Hama a question.
Song Hama immediately patted his chest proudly and said, "That's not true. I'm not as crazy as you, becoming a Famed Sword wielder in a few months. It took me only three years to go from Ancient Sword to Famed Sword. I, Song Hama, am one of the fastest people in Yuzhang City."
Song Hama was right. Reaching the Famed Sword Rank in three years was indeed one of the best results in the base city. Most sword bearers would need more than 10 years to reach the Famed Sword Rank from the Ancient Sword Rank. Song Hama could already be described as an unparalleled genius in just three years.
"You're already a Spiritual Sword wielder in the game. It seems that it's only a matter of time before you become one in real life!"
Guhan took a few glances at Song Hama's Sword Maidens and realized that they were all lively and full of life. Clearly, these Sword Maidens were real Sword Maidens.
"Oh!
I forgot to introduce you to my Sword Maidens! "
Song Hama patted his head and began to introduce his Sword Maidens in the game one by one. "I won't introduce Cast Cloud Iron. Her life was saved by you, Guhan!"
"Brother Guhan, long time no see!"
Cast Cloud Iron was still tall and mighty, but she no longer had the carefree and carefree look she had three years ago. Instead, there was a hint of worry that only a little girl would have … And looking at her cautious attitude toward the other Sword Maidens, the source of this worry was obvious.
After all, the Cast Cloud Steel was just an Ancient Sword Maiden. When Song Hama was still an Ancient Sword Tier swordswoman, all the cores revolved around the Cast Cloud Steel. Naturally, the Cast Cloud Steel was one of a kind.
But now, even in the real world, Song Hama was already a Famed Swordswoman. The Core Swordmistress had obviously been replaced by an even more powerful Famed Swordmistress. In addition, Cast Cloud Iron's tall figure did not appeal to ordinary men. One could imagine how depressed she was.
"It's okay!
Look for me. I'll help you teach that stinky toad a lesson! "
Guhan smiled and nodded at Cast Cloud Iron. He said something meaningful, causing Cast Cloud Iron's eyes to turn red. It seemed like she had suffered a lot because of Song Hama. However, seeing how heartless Song Hama was, it was obvious that he did not realize this.
"This is my treasured sword, the Mountain Suppressing Sword. You guys didn't see it in the Zhenyuan Garrison Manor Crusade dungeon. However, I'm telling you now, the Mountain Suppressing Sword is also my treasured sword in real life," Song Hama introduced the similarly tall and mighty Mountain Suppressing Sword.
"Hello, Mr. Military Governor!"
It had been more than three years, but the Mountain Suppressing Sword still did not forget the ferocity and strength that the Military Governor had displayed in the Zhenyuan Garrison Dungeon. She still had enough respect for Guhan.
"This is my Famed Sword Maiden, the Darksteel Heavy Sword!
How is it? It's amazing, right?
It's also my Famed Sword Maiden in real life! "Song Hama proudly introduced.
"She's really powerful!"
Guhan could not help but nod. The Sword Maiden was ranked third among the Famed Swords. She was the initiator of his Chaos Sword Style. She had once been able to suppress his own Sword Maiden. Guhan did not expect Song Hama to be able to synchronize with such a Sword Maiden. This Song Hama was truly powerful!
