The Yun Nation Emperor personally received Princess Qingling and gave her the highest treatment.
Princess Qingling followed the eunuch into the Morality Palace, but Gao Zhengyang stayed outside.
Because he insisted on not unsheathing his sword, he could only wait outside.
Seeing Gao Zhengyang's rude behavior, the Yun Nation's imperial guards all revealed angry expressions. A group of people surrounded Gao Zhengyang, glaring at him.
If not for the fact that they were in the palace, they would definitely try Gao Zhengyang's ability.
Gao Zhengyang did not care about the angry gazes around him. He sat quietly and rested as if there was no one else around.
This was the Morality Palace's side hall, separated by only a wall from the Morality Palace. No matter how courageous these Imperial Guards were, they would not dare to make a move here.
Of course, if they dared to make a move, Gao Zhengyang would definitely let them know what regret was.
"He is Gao Zhengyang?"
At the side of the hall, Lei Heng looked Gao Zhengyang up and down carefully. He asked with some uncertainty.
It was not that he doubted Gao Zhengyang's identity, but that he could not see how powerful Gao Zhengyang was. He did not believe in the rumors about Gao Zhengyang.
Something about two swords breaking an army, saving the princess alone. As the commander of the Imperial Guards, Lei Heng felt that these rumors were nonsense. But the more bizarre a story was, the more it would spread.
The public was always ignorant! When they talked about these, it was as if they had seen it with their own eyes, pretending to be serious.
During this period, Lei Heng did not know how many times he had heard it. Every time he heard it, he was especially annoyed. His resentment towards Gao Zhengyang almost made him explode.
Beside him, Yun Yan said fawningly, "Yeah, what two swords breaking an army, Xuan Tian Sect really dares to brag!"
As a swordsman selected from the common people, Yun Yan's swordsmanship was extremely brilliant. He was also handsome and quick-witted, and was now the leader of the Swordsman Guards.
After entering the capital, Yun Yan immediately hugged Lei Heng's thigh.
Lei Heng also needed to rope in this swordsman group, and he had an indescribable admiration for Yun Yan. The two of them had only known each other for a few days before they became good friends.
To them, Gao Zhengyang was just a citizen of Chu Country. His reputation was especially fake! Lei Heng and Yun Yan couldn't stand it.
Gao Zhengyang, on the other hand, was unusually arrogant and cold, looking down on everyone. The arrogant Lei Heng could not take it anymore.
All in all, after seeing Gao Zhengyang for the first time, Lei Heng felt uncomfortable all over. There was no reason for this rejection.
Lei Heng muttered to himself, "I don't know why, but seeing him like that makes me want to stab him with my sword."
"Me too."
Yun Yan immediately replied, "I really want to chop his head off and see if he can still maintain that annoying expression!"
Lei Heng's gaze flickered, and he instigated, "He is so arrogant, you can go over and challenge him. He will definitely accept the challenge. "
The responsibility of the Imperial Army was to protect the royal palace and the safety of the emperor. If he took the initiative to challenge Gao Zhengyang, whether he won or lost, he would be severely reprimanded.
Yun Yan, on the other hand, was different. Strictly speaking, he was just a commoner swordsman without any official status.
As a swordsman, it was reasonable for him to take the initiative to challenge an expert. If Yun Yan could defeat Gao Zhengyang, it would be for the Yun Nation's reputation. Even if he lost, it was only because his swordsmanship was not good enough.
Lei Heng actually did not think much of Yun Yan. Although he was a first-rate swordsman, that was all. From his demeanor to his body movements, Yun Yan was still a distance away from a top-notch swordsman.
On the contrary, Gao Zhengyang stood, sat, walked, and stopped, everything was in order. His breathing was long and drawn out. From his sword to his armor, every detail was exquisite and coordinated.
The strength that Gao Zhengyang displayed seemed impeccable.
In comparison, Yun Yan only had one sword, which was not bad. However, Gao Zhengyang's carefree aura was a far cry from Gao Zhengyang.
Of course, swordsmen ultimately looked at swordsmanship and strength. These external factors were not the most crucial deciding factor.
Lei Heng still had some expectations for Yun Yan. Of course, it did not matter if Yun Yan lost. At the very least, he could be used as a touchstone to test Gao Zhengyang's ability. He even gave them a reason to spar.
Yun Yan was actually a little afraid of Gao Zhengyang, but he could not say why. But he wanted to ride on Lei Heng's coattails, so he could not back down now.
He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, raised his eyebrows, and said decisively, "I will go over now. I want to see what he is capable of."
Yun Yan nodded at Lei Heng, then strode in front of Gao Zhengyang, and said in a low voice, "I heard that Daozhang's swordsmanship is peerless. I am untalented, but I would like to seek your guidance."
Yun Yan's words attracted everyone's attention. Most of the guards were excited. They had long disliked Gao Zhengyang, and finally, someone stood up.
There were also some who were more experienced and wanted to stop him. Lei Heng waved his hand, gesturing for the others to stay out of it.
Gao Zhengyang sat still, his eyes not even open, and did not respond to Yun Yan's challenge.
His complete disregard made Yun Yan extremely embarrassed and angry. The veins on his hand bulged, his handsome face was ashen, and his eyes looked like they were about to spit fire.
Many of the guards also had strange expressions. On one hand, they looked down on Yun Yan, thinking that he was asking to be humiliated. On the other hand, they felt that Gao Zhengyang was too arrogant and lacked a lesson.
"Are you afraid?!"
Yun Yan did not dare to draw his sword first, and shouted angrily.
Lei Heng was a little disappointed. He had hoped that Yun Yan was young and aggressive, and would draw his sword without caring about anything. Whether he won or lost, he had a reason to intervene.
Yun Yan's shout was very loud, but it was a show of strength, and he had already lost his momentum. Even if he fought, he had no chance of winning.
Gao Zhengyang still did not move, like a silent statue.
Yun Yan could not help but look at Lei Heng, who was frowning in dissatisfaction. He could only muster up his courage again, and was about to shout when Gao Zhengyang suddenly opened his eyes.
His black eyes were like the sharp edge of a sword, making Yun Yan feel as if he was being cut in half by two swords. The fear of death made him tremble.
In fear, Yun Yan hurriedly retreated a few steps. By the time he realized that something was wrong, he had already retreated seven or eight steps.
The surrounding guards all had disapproving expressions. Gao Zhengyang only opened his eyes. Yun Yan's reaction was a little too exaggerated, and too embarrassing.
Yun Yan saw the disdain of the crowd, but he could not explain himself. In his embarrassment, his face turned red. But he no longer had the courage to challenge Gao Zhengyang to prove himself.
When their eyes met just now, his spirit and courage were all shattered by the Invisible Eye Sword.
Gao Zhengyang did not even look at Yun Yan as he stood up and walked out. To be honest, Yun Yan's performance made him a little disappointed. He was, after all, a dignified Saint. It was fine that his memory was controlled, but his spirit, energy, and spirit were actually restricted.
Lei Heng, on the other hand, had a calm demeanor, and was much stronger than Yun Yan.
The Sword Realm could change one's memory, but it could not change the innate spirit of an expert.
Because of this, the naturally arrogant Feng Qingling would become a princess. Lei Heng, who had a strong will, would become the commander of the Imperial Army. Yun Yan, on the other hand, could only become a common swordsman.
Gao Zhengyang, of course, had long recovered his memory. The Four Sages Union was not simply a combination of four Saint level powers, but a harmonious and perfect unification of the four powers of the mind, spirit, body, and spirit.
Although Gao Zhengyang's memory was changed by the powerful laws of the Sword Realm, the moment he saw Feng Qingling, he suddenly came to a realization. All the memories that had blinded him also vanished like smoke in thin air.
But, he still could not figure out whether this world was real or fake. What were the standards used to judge the trials in the Sword Realm?
Hence, Gao Zhengyang patiently followed Feng Qingling. He wanted to see how the Sword Realm would arrange their fates!
Gao Zhengyang suddenly stood up, which made Lei Heng nervous. All the guards gripped their sword hilts, and Lei Heng even stood in front of Gao Zhengyang to block him.
Lei Heng was just about to speak when Gao Zhengyang's sharp gaze swept over. Lei Heng felt as if his chest was stabbed twice by a sword. The words that were at the tip of his tongue could not come out. Instead, he involuntarily took two steps back.
Gao Zhengyang said amiably, "Don't be afraid. I have no interest in bullying weaklings right now."
