Guhan gave Mingyuan Jiandi a deep look. Before he had come here, before he had spoken to Mingyuan Jiandi, Guhan would never have imagined that Mingyuan Jiandi was actually an existence on the same level as himself.
It was actually because of the Seamless Corridor that she had become Yuan Kou.
This completely explained why Mingyuan Jiandi had betrayed humanity. It wasn't that Jiandi wanted to betray humanity; rather, Mingyuan Jiandi had no choice but to betray humanity. She couldn't survive in the human world any longer.
What about himself?
However, Guhan wasn't a sentimental person. This bit of worry was quickly tossed aside by Guhan. At the same time, Guhan was rather bothered by what Mingyuan Jiandi had encountered in the Seamless Corridor. Based on what Mingyuan Jiandi had said, Guhan estimated that Mingyuan Jiandi had entered the Seamless Corridor at the same time that he had left it.
But Mingyuan Jiandi had said that he had met Artoria. Who would've thought that Artoria would actually return to the Seamless Corridor? What the hell was going on?
Guhan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Did Artoria say anything to you? Does she really not remember anything?"
"Miss Artoria and I only met by chance. She wouldn't say anything to me, and even if she did, she probably wouldn't tell me the truth. How would I know so much?"
Mingyuan Jiandi shook his head. Just as Guhan was feeling a bit disappointed, Mingyuan Jiandi continued, "But what's interesting is that I actually met Artoria again in the real world. However, at that time, she was clearly still under the control of that filth, and she was causing trouble here."
"It just so happened that the mayor of the free metropolis was a guest here, so he helped me take care of this fellow.
The mayor of the free city is really a good person. He actually removed the filth from Artoria's body, which led to the story of Artoria's betrayal of the Martyr's Palace. Now that you mention it, it's really interesting! "Mingyuan Jiandi laughed.
"The source of all this is you!"
Guhan was dumbfounded. He never thought that the reason why Artoria could break free from the control of filth was because of Jiandi, the Mingyuan.
But if that was the case, then what was going on in the dungeon's storyline?
"My guess is that all of the Yuan Kou members in the Seamless Corridor were simultaneously thrown out into different dimensional worlds. That Artoria was most likely thrown into another dimensional world as well.
As for exactly which point in time and which dimensional world, only God knows! "
"Is that so?"
Guhan didn't say anything else. He had already saved Artoria once, and he wouldn't save her a second time. Whether or not they would meet again was all up to fate.
"But we've talked about so many things, but you still haven't told me the most important thing. What's going on with this black crystal?
How did you get it, and how did it come about? "Guhan asked with a calm expression.
"I don't know who gave it to me. At that time, I discovered that I was no longer human. In my grief, I could only wander aimlessly in the wilderness. The Yuan Kou that passed by didn't attack me like before, which made me feel even more despair."
"Then, I unknowingly walked to the ruins of Guilin City. At the foot of Elephant Trunk Mountain, I met a woman who was fishing."
Mingyuan Jiandi said faintly, "At first, I thought she was still human, but when I got closer, I discovered that while she was human, she was also a Yuan Kou. To be more precise, she was a hybrid of Yuan Kou and a human."
"Because I was also a half-human, half- Yuan Kou existence, I felt very intimate when I saw her. At the same time, I was very hungry, and when I saw the live fish, I couldn't help but be tempted. I asked her if I could roast some live fish to eat, but she didn't say anything, and her face was expressionless. She didn't seem to agree, but she didn't seem to refuse either."
"At the time, I didn't think too much about it, so I roasted the live fish for her and ate half of it … but I didn't eat hers for nothing. I took out my own ingredients and shared them with her."
"But when she saw me eat the fish, her expression suddenly changed. She said I was a thief and wanted me to pay her with some live fish.
I couldn't be bothered to argue with her, so I used my sword ki to grab a few live fish from the river for her.
But she refused, and insisted on eating the fish that were exactly the same as the live fish I had just eaten, even if there was one difference. "
"I was angry at that time. How could there be such a reason in the world?
Where could I find an identical fish for her? Then the two of us started fighting! "said the Demonic Iris Sword Emperor.
"So, Your Majesty, you won!" Guhan said, blinking his eyes.
"I also hoped that I would win, but in the end, it was the opposite. I lost, completely, completely, and even my underwear was lost to her!"
Mingyuan Jiandi said with a wry smile, "In only three minutes, she completely defeated me. I didn't even have a chance to resist, and I was completely controlled by her!"
"Lost!"
Guhan's expression changed. Mingyuan Jiandi's ability was not the strongest among the generations of Jiandi, and could even be said to be below average.
However, it was impossible for Gu Han to defeat an Emperor Sword-level sword wielder within three minutes, even with his current strength.
At the very least, Guhan had to be given 30 minutes.
"How did she defeat you, Your Majesty?
Did she use some celestial skill or divine skill? "
Guhan asked curiously. The top Yuan Kou were almost all immortals or gods, and they all used such abilities.
"No, it was not celestial skill or divine skill. She did not rely on anything else to defeat me, but something that we are most familiar with as sword wielder!"
Mingyuan Jiandi's expression froze. Even though hundreds of years had passed, he could not help but show some fear on his face.
"A sword!
A simple sword! "
Mingyuan Jiandi said with a trembling voice, "It was just an ordinary sword, not even a swordmistress. It was an iron sword that was casually forged, but it defeated me. Within three minutes, she broke through my protective shield and put the sword on my neck. I could not resist at all, and I could only let her kill me."
"An expert sword user …" Hearing this, Guhan's heart skipped a beat. A sudden possibility involuntarily emerged in Guhan's mind.
