After Zhao Hao told him the entire story, Guhan believed half of it.
This was because there were two Sword Ladies' souls hidden inside the Juzi Sword, and King Yue's soul had also entered the other sword. As long as Juzi willed it, she could expel King Yue's soul from her body. This was almost the same as Zhong Dian Sword's current predicament.
However, on the other hand, Zhong Dian Sword's body was indeed empty. Zhong Dian Sword's soul was not in the sword. As long as Guhan hardened his heart, ignored Zhao Hao's words, and left with the broken Zhong Dian Sword, King Yue's soul would be able to reside in it without any problems.
At the same time, it also announced the complete death of Zhong Dian Sword's soul. Zhao Hao told Guhan,
Although the scalpel was made of the same material as Zhong Dian Sword, it was ultimately a replica made by humans. Perhaps the soul could exist in it, but it could not transform into a real Sword Lady.
Only by using the original Sword Lady's body and using humans to repair it would it be possible to create two Sword Ladies.
Although Zhong Dian Sword's soul could stay in the scalpel for a while, as time passed, it would dissipate sooner or later.
Therefore, if Guhan left with Zhong Dian Sword's body, King Yue might be able to be reborn, but Zhong Dian Sword's soul would definitely die.
At that moment, Guhan hesitated. He knew that his next move would completely determine King Yue's fate. Should he use Zhong Dian Sword's soul to dissipate in exchange for King Yue's rebirth, or should he give up on this rare opportunity and continue to wait like this for a lifetime?
"Sigh!"
Guhan sighed heavily in his heart, then asked Zhao Hao, "Where's your scalpel now?"
"I don't know either …" Zhao Hao said awkwardly, "After I was captured, all my things were confiscated by you.
I have to ask the Sword Committee about my scalpel. "
Guhan stopped talking and immediately contacted Lu Xihua, who was far away in Yanjing City, through his personal terminal. He asked Lu Xihua to find the whereabouts of this batch of things.
Very quickly, Lu Xihua replied. It turned out that Zhao Hao's original laboratory was an important piece of evidence, and no one dared to touch it. It was still there untouched.
Therefore, Zhao Hao's scalpel should still be in that prison experiment.
"Pack up and come with me to your lab now!" Guhan said to Zhao Hao directly after the call with Lu Xihua.
Guhan had to bring Zhao Hao along because other than Zhao Hao, Guhan did not know what to do next to redistribute the soul of the Zhongdian Sword in the scalpel into the two broken swords.
Moreover, Zhao Hao had already seen his true appearance. Once he found out that he was not a real prison guard, the fact that he had appeared in Mount Tai Prison could no longer be concealed.
Because of this, Guhan had to bring Zhao Hao along and lock him up somewhere. He would release him when the matter died down. He believed that Liu Lei would naturally help him deal with it, so Guhan did not have to worry too much.
In Zhao Hao's eyes, Guhan must have been communicating with the sword committee just now. After obtaining the sword committee's approval, he would immediately bring him to the lab.
Therefore, Zhao Hao did not doubt Guhan's orders at all. He simply packed up his things and left the prison cell with Guhan.
Fortunately, when he brought Zhao Hao out of Mount Tai Prison, no evil moths appeared. Everything went according to Guhan's plan. Under Lu Xihua's cover, they quietly left the heavily-guarded Mount Tai Prison.
It was not until five or six hours later that Lu Xihua's remote control of Mount Tai Prison ended. It was only then that the warden realized that Zhao Hao had disappeared from the prison. After that, the entire Mount Tai Prison's system was in a mess. More than ten prison guards under the warden's rank were all fired. The few special forces also realized their wish to retire from the military. However, only God knew whether they became the personal special forces bodyguards of the city's beautiful campus belle.
…
In fact, Guhan's actions that night could be summed up in one sentence: he went from one prison to another.
However, compared to Mount Tai Prison, the other prison's defense was practically nonexistent. There were only a few police detectives guarding the entrance. Lu Xihua disguised himself slightly, and Guhan successfully brought him into its original lab.
The rest of the matter went smoothly. Zhao Hao quickly found the scalpel on his table.
Therefore, Zhao Hao immediately activated his soul-scanning equipment and began to scan the scalpel. He discovered that things were just as he had imagined. There were indeed two souls of Swordmaidens in the scalpel.
"Oh no!
One of the Swordmaidens' soul is about to be squeezed out of the scalpel! "
Zhao Hao suddenly exclaimed. The smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by extreme anxiety.
Just like what Zhao Hao had said earlier, the battle between the souls in the scalpel was about to end.
One of the souls gradually showed signs of weakness, and was finally squeezed to the edge of the scalpel. Perhaps in a few minutes, this soul would be squeezed out of the scalpel and completely disappear into thin air.
The other soul was not much better. In a situation where it had exhausted a large amount of soul power in the battle, and could not be replenished by the Soul Restoration Fluid, this victorious soul would gradually disintegrate and disappear sooner or later.
In other words, if Guhan had come a few minutes later, Zhong Dian's soul would definitely have died.
"It's over …" Zhao Hao, who understood this scene, slumped to the ground, despair written all over his face. "It's over!
It's too late. I can't save these two souls. I'm a sinner through and through! "
"What's wrong?
Aren't the two souls still in the scalpel?
Can't you separate them right now? "Seeing Zhao Hao's despairing expression, Gu Han asked in a puzzled manner.
"So what if they're separated?"
Zhao Hao said weakly. "After they're separated, they have to be placed in their original broken sword fragments. I originally wanted to ask you to apply to the Sword Committee to bring the broken sword fragments here after confirming that the souls are in the scalpel. Only then can I separate them."
"But the speed of their battle far exceeded my expectations. I originally estimated that they would fight for at least another two days, but I didn't expect it to have already reached such a tragic stage … I'm useless, I'm the one who caused their deaths!" Zhao Hao wailed, but suddenly felt something thrown on his leg.
Zhao Hao looked down and saw that it was the remains of the two broken swords of Zhong Dian.
"Sir, how did this broken sword …"
"You don't have to ask about that. Hurry up and separate the souls. You don't have time anymore!"
Hearing Guhan's words, Zhao Hao instantly jumped up from the ground.
He grabbed the scalpel and rolled back to his workbench with the broken sword.
Fortunately, in order to protect the scene, all the equipment in the entire workshop was not moved. Zhao Hao could immediately use these equipment that he was extremely familiar with to carry out his work.
After working for about 20 minutes, Zhao Hao, who was fully focused, finally relaxed. He had successfully placed the two souls back into the broken sword, and Zhong Dian had regained its vitality.
Seeing this scene, Guhan's eyes were filled with both joy and pain.
He was naturally happy that the soul of a sword maiden had been redeemed by him. He was painful because when this sword body could not be used, when would the day of King Yue's rebirth be?
Guhan sighed and prepared to leave the laboratory.
Since Zhao Hao had already repaired Zhong Dian's soul, there was no need for Guhan to steal Zhong Dian's body.
In this way, there was no need for Guhan to hide his identity. Guhan only needed to confess everything to his master, Liu Lei. He believed that with Liu Lei's help, he would be able to quickly fabricate the truth that Guhan had seen through the information that Zhong Dian's soul was not dead. Then, he would rush back to Yuzhang City to help repair Zhong Dian's body.
Of course, this explanation was full of loopholes. Anyone with a bit of intelligence would be able to deduce that there were many things wrong with this explanation.
However, the matter had a comedic ending. This was a family matter in Yuzhang City.
Since Sword Immortal Nine Heavens Liu Lei, who was in charge of Yuzhang City, did not pursue this matter, outsiders could not say anything. Was it a bad thing for Guhan to save a sword maiden?
Therefore, Guhan decided to leave. After explaining to Liu Lei that night, he would return to Yanjing City and continue looking for a chance to revive King Yue.
"Sir, where are you going?" Guhan had just taken a step when he heard Zhao Hao ask anxiously behind him.
"Your matter is over, and there is no need for me to stay here.
You can rest in the laboratory for a while. The Sword Committee will send someone else to deal with this matter soon! "Guhan said to Zhao Hao plainly.
"Sir!
You're not the real swordsman sent by the Sword Committee, right? "Zhao Hao suddenly asked.
"That's right!" Guhan admitted readily. He was not interested in how Zhao Hao discovered his identity.
This was because he did not deliberately hide his actions along the way. As one of the four Sword Forging Grandmasters in Yuzhang City, Zhao Hao's intelligence was naturally higher than that of ordinary people. It was not surprising that he could discover his identity through some details.
"Then let me make a bold guess. Sir, you want to steal the broken sword of Zhong Dian!" Zhao Hao said again.
"Yes!" Guhan still admitted.
"Then let me ask one more thing. Sir, are you the sword bearer of Zhong Dian?" He thought Zhao Hao would keep guessing correctly, but he guessed wrong here.
He actually guessed that Guhan was the sword bearer of Zhong Dian. This was a thousand miles wrong.
