Looking at the middle-aged man who had silently appeared in front of her, Bai Yu felt that this middle-aged man seemed to have fused with the white light shining down from the nine mountains, becoming the only existence in this vast white world.
However, in the next moment, Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat.
At that moment, she could not see anything else apart from the middle-aged man. She could vaguely guess the middle-aged man's identity, and she immediately became nervous and uneasy. "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man smiled warmly. He seemed extremely friendly and said, "You must have guessed my identity from your reaction. I am the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance."
After her identity was confirmed, Bai Yu's face immediately turned pale. She subconsciously took a step back, and her heart turned cold.
The Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance was a god-like existence in Bai Yu's eyes. He was supreme, and all the Divine King and elders of the Radiant Saint Hall had to lower their heads. They had to refer to him as "sir" or "senior" politely. He was truly an unreachable existence.
However, such a supreme existence had actually come to find her. Bai Yu immediately connected this to what the Divine King of Radiance had said.
Was the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance really trying to kill her because of her relationship with her second senior brother?
After all, not only was her second senior brother a member of the Martial Soul lineage, but he was also the greatest enemy of the Radiant Saint Hall. Moreover, he had entered the Tower of Radiance and taken away the supreme legacy here. He had taken away the most important thing here.
"You don't need to be nervous. I have no ill intentions," said the middle-aged man. Afterwards, he extended his finger gently, and two stone stools and a stone table immediately rose up from the ground. He sat down on one of the stone stools before pointing at the other one to Bai Yu. He said, "Let's sit down and talk."
The Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance had personally shown up and specially prepared a stone stool for Bai Yu. If any other Divine King of Radiance saw this, they would be stunned.
This was because even Gongsun Zhi, a descendant of the Grand Exalt, did not receive such treatment.
In reality, let alone Gongsun Zhi, even the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall and the eight vice-leaders had never seen the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance. They had only heard its voice.
Bai Yu hesitated as she looked at the stone bench before her. She was rather confused about what the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance was trying to do, but in the end, she still made her way over uneasily and sat down.
"Your second senior brother's true identity is a member of the Martial Soul lineage. Do you hate him for lying to you for so long?" The Artifact Spirit said calmly. It was impossible to tell what she was feeling.
Bai Yu was silent for a moment. Then, she gritted her teeth and mustered her courage to say, "I don't hate him. No matter what his identity is, he has always been the one who treats me the best."
The Artifact Spirit glanced at Bai Yu deeply. Without saying anything, it suddenly vanished.
In the next moment, all the Divine King of Radiance gathered in the Tower of Radiance felt the ground shake violently. A suffocating, terrifying energy suddenly permeated the surroundings. Accompanying it was the clear thrum of a sword that ripped through the surroundings.
All the Hallowed Saint Masters gathered there clearly saw an extremely bright streak of white light fall from the sky, disappearing in a flash.
"It's a protector sword. It's a protector sword. Someone has already gained the recognition of a protector sword …"
"Who is it? Who is this person …"
.....
The hearts of all the Hallowed Saint Masters began to thump heavily. A protector sword represented an opportunity to reach the heavens in a single stroke. Since someone had obtained a protector sword, it meant that no matter what their cultivation was, they would become a peak expert in the future. They would become a supreme figure in the Radiant Saint Hall.
In the distance, the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall, Yu Chen, and the vice-leader, Xuan Zhan, stood with their hands behind their backs. They stared at the region enveloped by white light.
"Someone has already obtained a protector sword," said the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall. His feelings were mixed. He had no idea whether he was happy or worried.
"It doesn't matter who has obtained a protector sword. It means that the strength of our Radiant Saint Hall has risen to a whole new level," Xuan Zhan said emotionlessly.
The region was enveloped by the power of the protector sword. Coupled with the interference of the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of Radiance, the two of them were unable to see what was happening within the white light even with their strength. They had no idea who had obtained the protector sword.
On the other hand, Bai Yu felt a flash of light in front of her eyes as a longsword that gave off a dazzling radiance suddenly appeared before her eyes.
The sword was around a meter long and two fingers wide. It was simple in shape and was filled with the presence of time. The energy it contained was so great that it was earth-shaking.
At this moment, there was a flash of light. Before Bai Yu could even return to her senses, her finger had been cut open by the sword, and a droplet of blood was absorbed by the sword.
Afterwards, to her surprise, she discovered that a profound mental connection had already been established between her and the sword.
"The fourth protector sword, Cliff's Sword!" Bai Yu murmured softly. She discovered that she could communicate with the sword in front of her, and she instantly learned the sword's name.
Bai Yu's eyes immediately lit up. She was so excited that she struggled to contain herself. She struggled to believe that this was real.
The sword before her was actually a protector sword, and it was the one that ranked fourth out of the nine protector swords, Cliff's Sword.
"Henceforth, you are the master of Devilcliff's Sword. Devilcliff's Sword was not forged from any material. Instead, it was created by Devilcliff, ranked fourth among the Nine Retainers. This sword is Devilcliff, and Devilcliff is the sword."
"However, Cliff has already become the Artifact Spirit. You can communicate with the Artifact Spirit, and you can unleash the power of Cliff's Sword through the Artifact Spirit …"
At the same time, the Artifact Spirit's voice rang out in Bai Yu's head.
.....
"Donglin Yan Xue, have you ever regretted helping Jianchen of the Martial Soul lineage escape?"
The Artifact Spirit appeared before Donglin Yan Xue and asked her a question.
"I don't regret it. If I could turn back time and face that scene again, I would still make the same choice," Donglin Yan Xue said without any hesitation. Jianchen's figure had already been imprinted in her heart.
The Artifact Spirit nodded before vanishing.
In the next moment, a second thrum rang out. A protector sword fell with devastating power, hovering before Donglin Yan Xue.
"This sword is Yuanye's Sword. It ranks third among the nine protector swords. It was left behind by Yuanye of the nine retainers …"
.....
Before long, a third protector sword fell and hovered before Xuan Ming.
"A protector sword. It's actually a protector sword. I never thought I would be fortunate enough to obtain a protector sword. Hahahahaha, the eighth-ranked protector sword. From today onwards, I'll be relying on you to gain a foothold in the Saints' World. You are the most important treasure in my life … "
In just a short amount of time, three protector swords had already fallen, which made the Hallowed Saint Masters who had yet to obtain a protector sword uneasy. They were extremely nervous.
"Artifact Spirit, get out here …" Gongsun Zhi bellowed to another side. His face was extremely vicious.
Three of the nine protector swords had already fallen. None of them belonged to people he could control, which made him furious.
