However, the matter did not end there. Ever since Jianchen's identity was exposed, Han Xin was heavily implicated as well. As a result, his status in the Radiant Saint Hall plummeted day by day. Many Divine Kings who were usually on good terms with him now treated him like he was the plague. They stayed as far away from him as possible.
Occasionally, there would even be some Divine Kings who had conflicts with Han Xin who would directly come to the Soaring Clouds Peak to provoke him. They would mock and mock him, showing no mercy at all.
This was because in the eyes of many people, Han Xin was already a criminal of the Radiant Saint Hall. Taking in a member of the Martial Soul lineage was punishable by death in the Radiant Saint Hall. Even if Han Xin had no idea about Jianchen's identity, he would still be punished.
However, the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall did not interrogate Han Xin all this time, which was why Han Xin was able to maintain his status as the lord of the Soaring Clouds Peak until now.
However, in everyone's eyes, the day when Han Xin would be interrogated was not far away.
At this moment, a powerful sense of the soul swept over, sending a message to all the Divine Kings in the region where Han Xin resided.
Han Xin's eyes lit up slightly, but they dimmed very soon. He murmured, "Protector swords? What does that have to do with me? " Han Xin immediately lost interest. He knew that it was impossible for him to gain the recognition of a protector sword.
However, after a slight hesitation, he said, "Bai Yu, come see your master quickly!"
Before long, Bai Yu flew to the top of the mountain with Radiant Saint Force. She stood behind Han Xin and bowed, "Greetings to teacher."
Bai Yu was still as beautiful as ever. Her white robe wrapped around her body, perfectly outlining her exquisite figure. Her long black hair danced wildly in the wild wind on the mountain peak, causing her figure to look incomparably elegant.
The only flaw was that there was always a faint trace of worry on her face, which made her look much more haggard than before.
In the past few years, the status of the Soaring Clouds Peak in the Radiant Saint Hall had rapidly declined due to the matter with Jianchen. Even Bai Yu was affected, so she had not been doing well in the past few years.
She was the only one left of the three great disciples of the Soaring Clouds Peak.
"Bai Yu, I've just received a message from the elders. Nine protector swords have appeared in the Tower of Radiance. Whoever obtains a protector sword will become a peak expert. You can go and try," said Han Xin.
"Teacher, this disciple's aptitude is lacking. I'm afraid that I don't have the qualifications to obtain a Protector Sword," Bai Yu said calmly, without the slightest hint of joy.
"Bai Yu, don't underestimate yourself. There aren't many people in our Radiant Saint Hall who can become a Hallowed Saint Master with a two-colored soulcore," Han Yu said.
Bai Yu sighed gently when she heard that. Her eyes became gloomy. Only she knew that her talent was not particularly outstanding. The reason why she could become a Hallowed Saint Master with a two-colored soulcore was probably all thanks to her second senior brother.
This was because she had comprehended the Laws of the Hallowed by her second senior brother's side and become a Hallowed Saint Master gloriously. However, ever since she left her second senior brother, without him to explain things to her, her progress in the past few years was basically insignificant.
As a matter of fact, it could be described as nothing at all.
"Go. You're the pride of our Soaring Clouds Peak. If you can obtain a protector sword, the status of our Soaring Clouds Peak will skyrocket. We won't have to worry about people inciting us anymore," Han Xin encouraged.
"Yes, teacher." Bai Yu could not bear to disappoint Han Xin when she saw how haggard he was, so she could only agree reluctantly.
She did not even consider the nine protector swords because she knew it was impossible.
The Donglin clan was one of the peak organisations on the Desolate Plane, but it was indeed the weakest one.
This was because the ancestor of the Donglin clan, Donglin Ce, was a Grand Prime who had only broken through recently. He was currently a First Heavenly Layer Grand Prime.
However, even with that being the case, the Donglin clan still possessed a certain amount of authority on the Desolate Plane.
At this moment, Donglin Yan Xue sat in a pavilion in the garden of the Donglin clan. She placed a zither on the stone table before her as she played it.
In the past, ever since Jianchen's identity was exposed, Donglin Yan Xue had been brought back to the clan by the ancestor of the Donglin clan, and she had never visited the Radiant Saint Hall again.
As there was no formal trial, and the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall did not officially strip her of her status as Chosen Saint, she was still the Chosen Saint of the Radiant Saint Hall.
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over. He looked at Yan Xue gently and said, "Yan Xue, your master just sent me a message. He said that there's a great fortuitous encounter in the Radiant Saint Hall, and he wants you to go there as soon as possible."
The middle-aged man was Donglin Yan Xue's father, the current patriarch of the Donglin clan, Donglin Xiong.
Donglin Yan Xue stopped playing the zither. She asked in doubt, "Fortuitous encounter? Father, what's the exact matter? "
"I don't know the exact details either. However, your master, Mu Shui, will never harm you. Just go. With the clan supporting you, the Radiant Saint Hall won't make things difficult for you, "said Donglin Xiong.
With that, Donglin Yan Xue stood up and stowed the zither away. She slowly made her way out of the pavilion. When she passed by Donglin Xiong, she paused slightly and said after some hesitation, "Father, I acted willfully in the past and helped Jianchen escape, offending the Radiant Saint Hall as a result. Has the clan not blamed me at all?"
Donglin Xiong chuckled, "Protecting you was the ancestor's intentions. The ancestor is not short-sighted like those people. He could tell long ago that Jianchen was an extraordinary person. People like him can only be befriended, not offended. As a result, not only did the ancestor not blame you when you helped Jianchen escape, but he even praised you more than once. "
"That's because Jianchen is indebted to you. If Jianchen succeeds in the future, he'll definitely repay you …"
.....
Many Radiant Saint Masters had already gathered outside the Tower of Radiance in the sacred hall that stood above the clouds.
The Radiant Saint Masters varied in cultivation, but without any exception, they were all Hallowed Saint Masters who had comprehended the Laws of the Hallowed.
At this moment, they all stared at the Tower of Radiance excitedly as they studied it carefully.
"Hmm? Isn't that Bai Yu from the Soaring Clouds Peak? You actually have the face to come here? "At this moment, a voice filled with surprise and mockery suddenly rang out.
A young man was pointing at the white jade with a cold sneer on his face.
Bai Yu stood in the crowd and gritted her teeth silently. She remained silent as stubbornness filled her eyes.
Who knew how many times she had heard similar voices in the past few years. She had cried, grieved, hurt, and despaired. She had already become accustomed to it.
"What? Bai Yu, do you want the protector sword to accept you as its master? Are you certain you have the ability? "
"Bai Yu, you're related to the Martial Soul lineage. Do you think sir Artifact Spirit will let you inherit the protector sword?"
"Hahaha, Bai Yu, you're actually bold enough to enter the Tower of Radiance. Jianchen of the Martial Soul lineage stole the supreme legacy of our Radiant Saint Hall right under sir Artifact Spirit's nose, and you're related to Jianchen. Do you think sir Artifact Spirit will kill you out of anger after you enter the Tower of Radiance …"
"Hmm? That does make sense now that you mention it. Everyone, do you think sir Artifact Spirit will kill Bai Yu after she enters the Tower of Radiance …"
.....
Many Hallowed Saint Masters sneered in the surroundings.
