After that, Guhan tried to find out more or less what had happened … At the very least, it was the version that the Liunian family had spread.
A few weeks ago, Hao Tian Jiandi had suddenly sensed that there were signs of an Emperor Sword Swordlady appearing in the direction of Gansu.
Moreover, this Emperor Sword Swordlady should have never appeared in the human world before. It was a brand new Sword Swordlady appearing for the first time.
However, this was an incredible matter. The humans had not had a new Emperor Sword Swordlady appearing for more than 500 years. Coincidentally, the humans were about to enter the Difficult Sword Era. Every new Emperor Sword Swordlady had the possibility of creating an Emperor Sword wielder.
As such, Hao Tian Jiandi had ordered his subordinates to go to Gansu to investigate. In the end, he had confirmed that the Emperor Sword should be near Changyang Mountain.
Hao Tian Jiandi was Jiandi, and he was a person who was about to die. He did not covet the Emperor Sword at all. His only thought was to keep this new Emperor Sword in the Yan Jing base city. As mentioned before, every base city had a heart to collect all the Sword Ladies.
As such, Hao Tian Jiandi had rushed to tell this news to the two most powerful families in Yan Jing, the Hongru family and the Liunian family.
This was a huge matter. After some discussion, the leaders of the two families decided to send their respective successors, Xu Tianyuan and Liunian Ling, to search for the Emperor Sword. This way, they could kill three birds with one stone.
Firstly, it could train the abilities of the two successors, and at the same time, improve their relationship.
Secondly, when the Emperor Sword Swordlady appeared, it would emit a bright sword light. The wielder who was illuminated by the sword light could greatly improve their affinity with the sword essence, allowing them to accumulate sword essence faster. At the same time, it would also increase their affinity with the Sword Lady.
Thirdly, bringing back an Emperor Sword Swordmistress was a great achievement. At the very least, with this achievement, the two families would be able to gain a wave of Favorability Points among the humans, and they would also be able to secure their positions as successors.
Fourthly, according to the first batch of Hao Tian Jiandi's subordinates, not only was the place deserted, but there were also very few traces of Yuan Kou. There were no traces of Nether Level or above Yuan Kou within a few hundred miles. In other words, that place was not a fatal danger to Liunian Ling and Xu Tianyuan.
As such, the leaders of the two families slapped their heads. and Xu Tianyuan went to Changyang Mountain with Liunian Ling.
In the beginning, everything went smoothly. The two of them used advanced scientific equipment to successfully find the suspected location of the Emperor Sword. In the end, when they were excavating the mountain, a Meteor Level Earth Bear came out. This was a Yu Level Yuan Kou, which was second only to Yuan Kou.
Fleeting Time Lin and Xu Tianyuan led a powerful party, and both of them were knowledgeable in their own right. Even so, the Earthen Bear was able to kill many of the Swordbearers. Most of the Swordbearers died at the hands of the Earthen Bear.
Xu Tianyuan had no choice but to activate a precious Void Talisman and hide his body in the void. Only then did he survive.
Liunian Ling could also use Void Talismans. She had four or five of these talismans that were worth hundreds of millions each. However, for some reason, Liunian Ling didn't use them. She was chased by the Earth Bear. In the end, she found the formation that Sky Covering Jiandi had set up. Then, Liunian Ling hid in the formation and didn't send any messages.
Xu Tianyuan recounted what happened to Liunian Ling. Although he hid in the void, he could still move and watch the battle outside. Xu Tianyuan watched the entire process of Liunian Ling's escape from the void.
Then, he quickly left Changyang Mountain and found a way to contact Yanjing City to report the news.
The Liunian Family panicked. They couldn't let their only heir die here. For a thousand years, the Liunian Family had only one heir. Liunian Ling didn't have any siblings … She didn't even have a child. If Liunian Ling died, the Liunian Family might not have any more descendants.
The Liunian Family had no choice but to inform the other base cities and ask them to send their best sword-bearers into the formation to save Liunian Ling … Even if they couldn't save her alive, they had to save her body.
As for why they wanted the best sword-bearers and not the advanced sword-bearers of their families, it was because Xu Tianyuan found an LED display near the formation.
Xu Tianyuan tried to connect the LED with electricity. Then, he saw a message left by Sky Covering Jiandi. It was a simple message.
"This is a trial ground for the younger generation. All sword-bearers above sword-bearers will have their sword marks broken if they enter."
What it meant was that this was a trial ground for the younger generation. If any sword-bearers above sword-bearers entered, their sword marks would definitely be broken. It didn't matter whether they believed it or not. In any case, no sword-bearers above sword-bearers dared to enter. Dying at the hands of Yuan Kou was a worthy death, but dying at the hands of Sky Covering Jiandi was nothing.
Since Sky Covering Jiandi had clearly said that this was a trial ground for the younger generation, those sword-bearers above sword-bearers would be too embarrassed to barge in.
As a result, the Liu Nian Clan went with the flow and announced this news to all the headquarter cities, telling them to quickly send their best sword-bearers to the trial … and save their heirs at the same time.
The Liu Nian Clan used this reason to justify asking them to send their best sword-bearers: If even the heirs of the Liu Nian Clan could not pass the trial, ordinary sword-bearers would definitely be trapped. So, they had to send their best sword-bearers in.
Although Liu Lei and Ju Wudao were very dissatisfied with the Liu Nian Clan's arrogant attitude, they had to admit that the heirs of each generation of the Liu Nian Clan were the cream of the crop. If even she could not come out, perhaps the trial ground was really not suitable for ordinary sword-bearers.
As a result, Liu Lei and Ju Wudao began to discuss which sword-bearers Yuzhang City should send to Changyang Mountain. Naturally, Liu Lei strongly recommended Guhan. He said that Guhan's strength was definitely second in Yuzhang City, and he was not far from first.
Ju Wudao naturally did not believe this. How could a little guy who had only been a sword-bearer for a few days have such strength?
Helpless, Liu Lei could only say that Guhan was the Military Governor. He even played the edited video of Guhan commanding Yaoguang to fight Heng Tian Qiushui to Ju Wudao.
It could not be helped. Ever since Ju Wudao became a sword-bearer, he had not logged into the game even once. In his words, no matter how much sword essence he accumulated in the game, it was not as useful as fighting in real life.
Unfortunately, his words, which sounded like they had the potential to become famous, were forcefully slapped in the face by Gu Jinniang.
Gu Jinniang was the best example of a rising star in the game. He was known as the strongest sword-bearer in the Later Jiangshan Jiandi Era. Ju Wudao did not even have the strength to refute the slap.
Helpless against Gu Jinniang, Ju Wudao could only vent his anger on the game. He swore that he would never step into the game again. Naturally, he did not know about the legend of the Military Governor, nor had he seen any of the Military Governor's battles.
Liu Lei could only show Ju Wudao the edited video afterwards.
Although he still disdained the game, after watching the video, Ju Wudao admitted that the Military Governor could be a top sword-bearer, be it in the game or in real life.
However, Ju Wudao doubted the identity of the Military Governor. It was impossible for Liu Lei's apprentice to be the Military Governor, which was why he had tested him at the beginning.
Liu Lei and Ju Wudao agreed to Guhan's name, and it appeared on the list of people going to Changyang Mountain. However, there were two other names that appeared together with Guhan's name.
When Guhan roughly figured out the ins and outs of the matter, someone knocked on the door of Liu Lei's office again.
"Come in!" Liu Lei responded, and a slender figure walked in.
"Greetings, Master. Greetings, Senior Yun Xiao!"
"Is this my teammate?
Why does the voice sound so familiar? "Guhan turned around when he heard the voice. The slender figure turned out to be Song Yifei.
Song Yifei was shocked when she saw Guhan turn around. She did not expect Guhan to be here. She thought that her master had called her over alone.
"Come, Yifei. Greetings, Senior Liu Lei!"
Ju Wudao gestured for Song Yifei to bow to Liu Lei. It turned out that the apprentice Ju Wudao was talking about was Song Yifei. What a coincidence!
Liu Lei squinted for a while and smiled. "I remember now. Aren't you the sword wielder who synchronized the Wisdom Sword? Oh, you seem to be good friends with my apprentice too!"
"Yes, Senior. If it weren't for Senior Guhan's Swordmistress, Yitian, I wouldn't have found Lady Wisdom Sword and become an ancient sword wielder. It was all thanks to Senior Guhan's help, Yifei!"
Song Yifei said sincerely. Indeed, without Guhan, Song Yifei would still be treating patients in the hospital.
"Thank you, Senior Guhan."
Then, Song Yifei also bowed to Gu Han, which made Liu Lei burst into laughter and Ju Wudao feel annoyed.
They had both taken in two apprentices. Somehow, his apprentice owed Liu Lei's apprentice such a big favor. She might even be suppressed by Guhan for the rest of her life.
"Hey, old man, your apprentice is only an ancient sword wielder!
We're going to use a treasured sword wielder this time. Your apprentice isn't qualified! "Liu Lei mocked.
"Hmph, ignorant!"
Ju Wudao said proudly. "Just yesterday, Song Yifei received the recognition of the Mingyuan Sword and became a treasured sword wielder. My apprentice's cultivation speed is faster than yours by a month!"
"What? It's the Mingyuan Sword!"
Liu Lei and Guhan's expressions froze at the same time. Wasn't the Mingyuan Sword the Swordmistress of the Mingyuan Jiandi who abandoned her identity as a sword wielder to become Yuan Kou?
It was obvious that the Mingyuan Jiandi's title came from the Mingyuan Sword.
