That night, Guhan received a report from the Sword Committee Association to the eight base cities and Shanhaiguan. The protector of Yuzhang City, the leader of the sword-bearers, and the chairman of the Yuzhang Sword Committee, Cloudy Sword Immortal Liu Lei, had passed away due to his severe injuries.
To express their condolences to Liu Lei, the Sword Committee Association announced at the same time.
The eight base cities collectively mourned for three days. Flags would be flown at half-mast for three days, all activities would be stopped for three days, and no red, yellow, or purple colors were allowed for three days.
These were the honors that Sword Immortal Level sword-bearers had after their deaths. Every time a human Sword Immortal Level sword-bearer passed away, the eight base cities would have the same event.
Just like a few months ago, after Sword Immortal Tian Hen of Yan Jing City had died in battle against the Run-level Yuan Bandit, the humans had also held a similar mourning event. This was not a rare occurrence.
However, in reality, something very strange had happened to Liu Lei's death.
Sword Maiden Online announced on its official website that to express its condolences to Liu Lei, the entire Sword Maiden Online would shut down its servers for three days starting from midnight the next day.
This was something that rarely happened in the history of Sword Maiden Online. Because it was claimed that there would never be a bug, Sword Maiden Online had never shut down its servers for system maintenance.
Sword Maiden Online's servers would only be shut down for ten days when an Emperor Sword Immortal Level sword-bearer passed away to express its condolences to Jiandi.
However, this was only out of respect for Jiandi. Sword Maiden Online had never shut down its servers for three days for any Sword Immortal Level sword-bearer.
This was the first time in history that something like this had happened, and it made all the players very curious.
At the same time, they wanted to find out what kind of earth-shattering things Liu Lei had done, so much so that Sword Maiden Online would shut down its servers for three days for the first time.
Although Sword Immortal Level sword-bearers were the absolute higher-ups among humans, at least 60% of humans did not know who Liu Lei was.
About 80% of them only knew that Liu Lei was the chairman of Yuzhang City's Sword Committee, but they knew nothing about Liu Lei's achievements.
Even the common people of Yuzhang City didn't know about these things. It was a very normal thing. Just like before the Great Calamity, many people in Huaxia might have known who the president of Huaxia was, but how many people knew who was on the seven-member standing committee of the highest authority in Huaxia?
Therefore, after looking it up, these humans found out about Liu Lei's great past. They knew about Liu Lei's "bloody battle at Jiayu Gate," "sending orphans thousands of miles away," and "fighting against the four Universe Level masters, Yuan Kou," and so on.
This allowed many people who knew nothing about Liu Lei to understand him. At the same time, they were filled with respect for him. Many people even lit candles to send Liu Lei off.
Liu Lei's fame among the humans increased by several folds.
These were things that Liu Lei couldn't do when he was alive, but he did it after he died because of a small game.
Even though this was something worth celebrating, it was still so sad to think about it.
Ordinary people might really think that Sword Maiden Online was just to mourn, but in fact, Guhan knew better than anyone else.
How could Sword Maiden Online break the convention and stop the server for a sword wielder of Immortal Sword Tier?
Obviously, this was just an excuse. The real reason was that there was a BUG in "Sword Maiden Online" that could only be resolved by stopping the server. This BUG was probably the "Twelve Skyscraping Temples" dungeon that he had triggered.
Since he had to stop the server for three days, there was no need for Guhan to hide in the Guardian's Mansion anymore.
For the first time in three months, Guhan took the initiative to leave the Shih Sing Garrison. He circled around his own Sh * t Star Garrison and secretly observed the 18 ancient sword wielder that belonged to him. He couldn't help but frown.
Some of these ancient sword wielder were sleeping, some were surfing the Internet, and some were playing football in two teams.
In fact, this wasn't anything out of the ordinary. It was completely normal entertainment … but it was this normal entertainment that was unforgivable in the eyes of the depressed Guhan.
So, Guhan used his authority as the Guardian to gather all the ancient sword wielder in front of him.
"Where are the white flowers on you?"
Seeing these ancient sword rank swordbearers gathered together, Gu Han asked with a harsh and cruel expression. These ancient sword rank swordbearers could not help but shudder. "Alright, alright, let's go. Let's go.
"Who has nothing better to do than to wear white flowers!?"
A few ancient sword wielder subconsciously said what was on their minds, but they immediately covered their mouths with their palms.
Because at this time, these ancient sword wielder realized that Guhan was wearing a white robe. He had a white ribbon tied around his head, white rings around his wrists, and a white paper flower on his chest …
This was not how a normal person would dress. No matter how they looked at it, it looked like their boss was wearing mourning clothes.
"Today, a great sword wielder passed away. Have you all forgotten the customs of the sword wielder?"
There was a custom among the sword wielder. When an immortal sword wielder passed away, all the sword wielder had to wear a white flower on their chest for three days as a sign of mourning.
But this was only a custom, not a rule.
Therefore, most of the sword bearers of Yuzhang City would wear this white flower, but the sword bearers of other cities would not be so lucky. He had not received any benefits from Yuzhang City, so why should he wear a white flower for the sword bearers of Yuzhang City who were at the Immortal Sword Tier?
When they reached a place like Shanhai Pass, there were even fewer people who would follow this custom.
After all, this was a precarious place. If they were not careful, they might die here the next day.
They might wear white flowers for others, but who would wear white flowers for themselves?
So the sword wielder in Shanhai Pass was probably the most disdainful of this custom. In the entire Shanhai Pass, there were probably no more than 100 sword wielder who wore white flowers for Liu Lei.
Hearing Guhan's question, these ancient sword wielder finally understood why their boss was so angry.
But they didn't care. If you wanted to be filial, that was your business. What did it have to do with them?
The emotions in their hearts were reflected on their faces, and these sword wielder's expressions were more or less filled with disdain.
"You can't be taught!"
Guhan's longsword pointed angrily at the ground, and then hundreds of thousands of sword auras burst out from the feet of these ancient sword wielder. They shot up into the sky like a geyser, and then landed on the ground and exploded into a cloud of smoke.
These ancient sword wielder were scared out of their wits. If they had not controlled the sword auras well, they would have lost an arm or a leg.
"Our boss is definitely a madman!
I definitely don't want to work under this madman! "
These ancient sword wielder all had the same thought. They wanted to immediately go to Baihu Guardian's Mansion and use their contribution points to apply for a change of position.
But on the surface, none of them dared to show such thoughts. They could only stand in front of Guhan even more respectfully, looking like obedient children.
"Sorry!
Did I scare you guys? "
Guhan suddenly sighed and then said to these ancient sword wielder who were scared out of their wits, "Sword Immortal Cloudy Sky is my master, so I can't help but be a little emotional."
"So that's how it is … so our boss is the disciple of an immortal sword wielder!" The sword wielder came to a sudden realization, and at the same time, a little bit of respect for Guhan emerged in their hearts.
To be able to grieve so much for his master, it seemed that their boss was a righteous and compassionate person.
But soon, these ancient sword wielder expressed that they had to take back their words. This was because not only was Guhan a righteous and compassionate person, he was also a demon who liked to torture people.
This was because Guhan told them that in order to express their condolences for Sword Immortal Cloudy Sky, he hoped that everyone present would draw a picture to express their grief for Sword Immortal Cloudy Sky.
Hearing the word "draw", these sword wielder were already screaming in their hearts.
These people were old and young, and they were very good at fighting. But when had they ever drawn a picture? In their entire lives, they had never even picked up a brush.
"Forget it!
I'll just make a few random mistakes and be done with it, "these ancient sword wielder thought to themselves.
These Ancient Sword Wielders thought to themselves. Then, just as they were about to scribble something on paper, Gu Han suddenly pulled out a cigarette.
"GU Yuechen."
Gu Han pulled out a yellow-haired Ancient Sword Wielder who was standing at the very front of the group.
This was the youngest of the ancient sword wielder, only nineteen years old.
But even though he was only nineteen, he was still half a year older than Gu Han.
"I walked around just now and found you hiding in the bushes smoking. I think you must be a good smoker!" Guhan said with a smile.
"Haha … what's wrong, boss … the rules don't say that I can't smoke!" GU Yuechen said with a bitter expression. He thought that Guhan was looking for an excuse to teach him a lesson.
"I didn't say that you smoked too much!"
Guhan directly stuffed the cigarette into GU Yuechen's mouth. Then, with a flash of the Juzi sword in his hand, the cigarette was instantly lit.
"Hu!"
GU Yuechen couldn't help but take a deep breath, letting the thick smell of tobacco fill his throat and lungs. He exhaled through his nose, and his nerves were instantly filled with satisfaction. It was as if he had just had a good time.
"Boss!
Your cigarette is too good! Where did you buy it?
I'll go buy a pack and smoke too! "
GU Yuechen seemed to have forgotten how scary Guhan was in front of him. He wanted to get close to Guhan, wanting to know where he could buy the cigarettes.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that the cigarettes were specially supplied by the chairman of the Yuzhang Sword Pavilion. Liu Lei didn't smoke, so he gave all the cigarettes he had accumulated over the past few decades to Guhan.
Guhan naturally didn't smoke either, so it meant that the cigarettes were given to the brat GU Yuechen for free.
"Don't worry!
I guarantee that you'll hate the smell very soon! "Guhan said with a smile.
"No way!
That's impossible!
I can't get enough of this thing in my life!
How could I hate it! "GU Yuechen said happily, not taking Guhan's words seriously.
"That's good. Now take another puff and exhale it!"
Although GU Yuechen didn't know why Guhan wanted him to do this, smoking wasn't a painful thing.
Therefore, GU Yuechen obediently followed Guhan's words.
When the smoke came out of GU Yuechen's nose, Guhan suddenly pulled out his sword and aimed at GU Yuechen's face like a kaleidoscope.
The sword light was so close to GU Yuechen's face that GU Yuechen felt that Guhan's sword was dancing on the tip of his nose. He was so scared that his legs went soft, and he knelt on the ground on the spot.
"Learn the sword technique I used just now and draw this painting!"
Hearing Guhan's words, GU Yuechen, who was sweating profusely, raised his head in confusion. He saw that the smoke that came out of his nose had turned into an ink portrait of a person floating in the air.
The portrait of this person was naturally the deceased Cloudy Sword Immortal, Liu Lei.
