"You are …" Yi Wenjun opened her eyes and found that a beautiful woman had appeared in front of her.
Although it was the first time they met, Yi Wenjun had a vague feeling that he seemed to have met this beauty somewhere before.
"I'm Gu Xuanyuan!"
Gu Xuanyuan pulled Yi Wenjun out of the medical pod, then narrowed her eyes and said, "I know you, you're Yi Wenjun, my brother's friend."
"I'm your brother's friend?"
Yi Wenjun was stunned for a moment, then thought of Gu Xuanyuan's rare surname, and this familiar face, and immediately reacted, "You must be Lord Guhan's sister!"
"You're not that stupid!" Gu Xuanyuan stood up, "Tell me, why did you faint in the pool?"
"It was a Yuanbandit … a white-robed Yuanbandit …" Yi Wenjun's face suddenly revealed an expression of incomparable terror. "Me, Pavilion Master Lu Xihua, and Sword Spirit Mu Xue were attacked by a white-robed Yuanbandit.
Mu Xue sword spirit risked her life to block that white Yuan Kou, and I ran in a panic. I don't know how long I ran for, but I ran into a pool, and when I was stimulated by the cold water, I fainted. "Yi Wenjun panted heavily as she spoke, as if she was still immersed in endless fear.
"What did you say?
You met Lu Xihua and Mu Xue sword spirit! "
Gu Xuanyuan never expected that she would get such an important clue from Yi Wenjun.
"Yes!
We were looking for a water source together, and when we finally found one, we met with such a thing. "Yi Wenjun said in a low voice.
"Slow down a little. What happened?
How did you meet Lu Xihua and Mu Xue sword spirit? "Gu Xuanyuan tried her best to speak calmly.
"It's like this..." Yi Wenjun slowly told her story.
Ever since Yi Wenjun helped Guhan three years ago, she felt that she was too weak to revive the Yi family, so she decided to go out and train herself, using bloody battles to make herself stronger.
As such, Yi Wenjun had been with the sword-bearers for the past three years, completing all sorts of missions and killing all sorts of Yuan Kou. His strength had indeed increased, and he was now a Sword-rank sword-bearer.
Two months ago, Yi Wenjun had joined a team of twenty swordbearers. Their mission was to explore a dimensional crystal mine.
This mine was discovered by a team of Swordbearers a year ago. It was said that the mine was very rich, more than ten times richer than the mine in the Plum Ridge Mountain Range. It was the richest mine that humans had ever discovered, and it was very useful to humans.
However, the team that had discovered the mine was too small in number, and their strength was also very weak. They also did not have any special equipment, so they could not fully explore the mine. Therefore, they could only return to Yuzhang City immediately and ask Yuzhang City to organize a strong team to explore the mine.
This exploration team was led by two Spirit Sword level swordbearers, and the rest were all Famed Sword level swordbearers. It could be said that this was one of the strongest sword-bearer teams that Yuzhang City could send out.
According to the coordinates left by the team that had first discovered the mine, it was confirmed that the mine should be at the location of the Liujiaxia Reservoir before the Great Apocalypse.
After some exploration and fighting, the team finally arrived at the Liujiaxia Reservoir. As expected, they found an extremely rich mine. Not only was it ten times richer than the Plum Ridge Mountain Range, but it was also five times bigger than the Plum Ridge Mountain Range. The two multiplied to a difference of fifty times, which was enough for Yuzhang City to consume for ten thousand years.
After confirming the location and content of the mine, the team prepared to return to Yuzhang City. However, Yi Wenjun and the other four Famed Sword level swordbearers left the team and stayed behind.
They felt that it would be a waste to rush back to the ancient Gansu Province after going through so much trouble. It would be better to stay and explore and broaden their horizons.
As a result, Yi Wenjun and the four Famed Sword level friends wandered around the area for two months. When they felt that their adventure was almost over and were ready to return to Yuzhang City, they met the white-clothed Yuan Kou.
Yi Wenjun and the others fought with the white-clothed Yuan Kou, but they found that they were no match for him. The four Famed Sword level swordbearers all died at the hands of the white-clothed Yuan Kou. Yi Wenjun's Swordmistress was also broken. She no longer had the ability to fight with the white-clothed Yuan Kou. Just as Yi Wenjun was about to close her eyes and wait for death, she coincidentally met the Mu Xue sword spirit and Lu Xihua, who had come looking for water.
The Mu Xue sword spirit did not hesitate to fight with the white-clothed swordsman. Although the Mu Xue sword spirit was one rank higher than the Famed Sword level swordbearers, her strength was still very weak in front of the white-clothed Yuan Kou. The Mu Xue sword spirit quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, and her personal shield was also in danger.
At this critical moment, the Mu Xue sword spirit let Yi Wenjun and Lu Xihua escape separately, while she sacrificed herself to stall the white-clothed Yuan Kou.
Yi Wenjun had long been scared out of her wits by the white-clothed Yuan Kou. She did not have the courage to resist and could only run for her life. In the end, she fainted in the pool.
"That means the Mu Xue sword spirit and Lu Xihua are in a very dangerous situation right now!"
After listening to Yi Wenjun's narration, Gu Xuanyuan clenched his fists and immediately took out his own super hovercraft. Without any explanation, he pulled Yi Wenjun into the car, and under Yi Wenjun's command, they sped towards the location of the battle.
Actually, the location of the battle wasn't too far away. It was only about twenty kilometers away from this oasis. After all, Yi Wenjun had run all the way here, and his pair of legs could not run that far.
Only ten minutes later, Gu Xuanyuan arrived at the location of the battle … there was indeed an intense battle taking place here. Countless crisscrossing sword scars had appeared on the flat desert. The shortest of these sword scars was ten meters long and one meter deep, while the longest was more than five hundred meters long and ten meters deep.
Many of the sand in the sword scars had already become charred black. Some of the sand had even turned into glass, becoming the most primitive form of glass. From this, it could be seen how intense the battle had been.
"The one fighting here is most likely a peerless swordsman!"
Seeing these wanton crisscrossing sword scars, Gu Xuanyuan's mind couldn't help but think of scenes of intense battles. The core of these scenes was the image of a person wielding a longsword, constantly slashing out powerful sword qi.
"Miss Gu Xuanyuan, let's split up and search. Let's see if we can find any clues about the Mu Xue sword spirit!" Yi Wenjun suggested to Gu Xuanyuan.
"Alright!"
Gu Xuanyuan nodded. The two of them went in two different directions to search the entire battlefield. In the end, not long after, Yi Wenjun found an extremely important clue at the edge of the battlefield.
"Miss Gu Xuanyuan, look!
This is the sword lady of Lord Mu Xue sword spirit! "
Yi Wenjun's face was filled with grief as she dragged some incomplete fragments in her hands. These were fragments left behind after a sword was broken. It would be very difficult for a normal person to recognize the original appearance of this sword from these fragments, but Gu Xuanyuan, who was familiar with every spirit sword grade sword lady, immediately recognized that these fragments came from a spirit sword grade sword lady called the "Black Tortoise Sword". This was because it was said that this sword was forged from the turtle shell of one of the four sacred beasts, the Black Tortoise of the North … Speaking of which, Gu Xuanyuan wasn't unfamiliar with the Black Tortoise. When Gu Xuanyuan was the Taiyin Star Garrison, the Black Tortoise Garrison was an extremely important garrison area under Taiyin Star Garrison!
At the same time, Gu Xuanyuan was very clear that Mu Xue sword spirit's spirit sword lady was this Black Tortoise Sword … Luckily, Mu Xue sword spirit's spirit sword lady was man-made. Otherwise, if the real Black Tortoise Sword was broken here, then Yuzhang City's loss would be too great.
"Looks like Mu Xue sword spirit really did have a great battle here!"
Gu Xuanyuan looked at the remains of the Black Tortoise Sword and sighed in her heart. Although Mu Xue sword spirit's standpoint was different from hers, and she had also done many things that made her extremely disgusted.
But after all, they were both sword bearers of Yuzhang City, so Gu Xuanyuan couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.
After putting the broken Black Tortoise Sword into the dimensional pocket, Gu Xuanyuan and Yi Wenjun quickly found some other relics. These were all Mu Xue sword spirit's and Lu Xihua's belongings … There was also Yi Wenjun's own belongings … Yi Wenjun found the remains of her famous sword grade sword lady's broken sword, and hugged the remains as she cried.
After all, for every sword bearer, the Sword Lady was their lifeblood.
The Sword Maiden was their lifeblood. Now that their lifeblood was gone, every sword wielder would be grief-stricken.
"What's a man crying for?
Right now, the most important thing is to find that Lu Xihua and the others. I discovered that although there are many of their relics nearby, I still haven't found their corpses, not even a piece of minced meat. I suspect that Lu Xihua and the others didn't die, but were captured by Yuan Kou. Right now, our top priority is to find them! "
"But in this vast desert, besides these unconcealable sword marks, there aren't any other footprints. Where are we going to find traces of Pavilion Master Lu Xihua and the others?" Yi Wenjun knelt on the ground and said in a daze.
"Wait for him to come find me!"
Gu Xuanyuan said something that made Yi Wenjun feel incomparably flabbergasted. What was this? Why would he, Gu Xuanyuan, let that white robed Yuan Kou come find him?
Just when Yi Wenjun was feeling puzzled, Gu Xuanyuan suddenly slowly floated up. Facing the sun high up in the sky, he calmed his mind for a moment, then suddenly a sword qi slashed out from the Execution Immortal Sword in Gu Xuanyuan's hand.
In the next second, Yi Wenjun's pupils constricted.
Because the target of Gu Xuanyuan's sword qi wasn't anything else, but the sun suspended in the sky. The moment the sword qi slashed out, the sun in Yi Wenjun's eyes actually broke into two halves … Yes, that's right, the sun in the sky was cut into two halves by Gu Xuanyuan's sword qi.
