Jianchen was slightly startled when he sensed Xuan Ming's attitude. He stared deeply at Xuan Ming. The current Xuan Ming gave him a feeling that was so foreign to the person in his memories.
However, he soon remembered that he had only met Xuan Ming by chance. They did not have a particularly deep friendship. Coupled with the fact that he was a successor of the Martial Soul lineage, which made him an enemy of the Radiant Saint Hall, it made sense for Xuan Ming to treat him like that.
Jianchen understood. He did not care about Xuan Ming's attitude. He slowly glanced past Donglin, Yan Xue, Bai Yu, Han Xin, and Xuan Ming. He said seriously, "In the Radiant Saint Hall, the only people I truly care about are you. I can't change my identity as a member of the Martial Soul lineage. I don't have the power to resolve the grievances that have accumulated between the Martial Soul lineage and the Radiant Saint Hall. I don't want to become enemies with everyone in the future, so I hope you can agree to a request of mine. In the future, unless the Martial Soul lineage attacks your Radiant Saint Hall, don't touch the Martial Soul lineage. "
"Of course, this is limited to the four of you, because you're the only ones I care about.
In the future, I really don't want to be your enemy. "
"Jianchen, your Martial Soul lineage is no longer the opponent of our Radiant Saint Hall. Even if you become our enemy, you won't be able to do much with your strength. You won't be able to turn the situation around." Xuan Ming said calmly. It was as if Jianchen had already become a stranger to him.
"Xuan Ming, are you saying that you'll deal with the Martial Soul lineage regardless of whether they attack your Radiant Saint Hall first?" Jianchen looked straight at Xuan Ming and spoke calmly. Even though Xuan Ming had obtained the Guardian Saint Sword and was now very powerful, Xuan Ming's battle prowess was still very strong.
But he was not afraid.
Han Xin, Donglin Yan Xue, and Bai Yu all stood to one side silently. They glanced back and forth between Jianchen and Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming fell silent for a while before looking at Jianchen with shining eyes. He said, "Jianchen, since we've met in the past, leave the Method of the Exalted Saint behind. I can guarantee you that as long as the Martial Soul lineage doesn't attack the Radiant Saint Hall, I won't point my sword at the Martial Soul lineage."
"You want the Method of the Exalted Saint?" Jianchen's gaze changed. He stared at Xuan Ming as if he had never seen him before. He had never thought that Xuan Ming would be interested in the Method of the Exalted Saint.
Was this still the Xuan Ming that he knew back then?
"The Method of the Exalted Saint is the treasure of our Radiant Saint Hall. It belongs to our Radiant Saint Hall in the first place, so we can't lose it," Xuan Ming said righteously. A sliver of desire appeared in his eyes as he became rather excited. He thought, "I already have a protector sword now. In the Radiant Saint Hall, even the Grand Exalt's descendant, Gongsun Zhi, won't be able to do anything to me. If I obtain the Method of the Exalted Saint as well, it'll truly be the best of both worlds. No one will be able to take it from me." At that moment, ambition silently appeared in Xuan Ming's heart.
This ambition had never appeared in his head before. As a matter of fact, he did not even dare to think about it because in the past, he was only a Divine King of Radiant who possessed some talent.
However, it was different now. He was the wielder of a protector sword now. He possessed great power. He now possessed the courage and confidence to attempt things that he never dared to think about or do in the past.
"I can't take out the Method of the Exalted Saint anymore. Xuan Ming, you have to consider this carefully. Once you move against the Martial Soul lineage, we will no longer be friends but enemies." Jianchen's face sank slightly, and his voice became rather cold.
"Jianchen, if you leave behind the Method of the Exalted Saint, we'll still be friends," said Xuan Ming firmly. His intentions were very clear. If Jianchen did not leave behind the Method of the Exalted Saint, they would become enemies.
Jianchen stared at Xuan Ming deeply. After quite a while, he finally sighed and said, "If that's the case, let's just wait and see." Xuan Ming's attitude greatly disappointed Jianchen. At that moment, Jianchen only felt very tired. A deep sense of helplessness filled his heart. He was no longer in the mood to stay here any longer. He was about to leave.
However, Xuan Ming did not let him leave. With a flash, he blocked the entrance and said coldly, "Jianchen, you better leave behind the Method of the Exalted Saint. It doesn't belong to you."
Jianchen stopped. He glared at Xuan Ming. Light flickered in his eyes, preventing people from looking at him directly. He growled, "You want to stop me?"
At that moment, Jianchen was truly angered. Sword Qi seemed to permeate his surroundings.
"Xuan Ming, don't forget that Jianchen has helped you in the past. Don't go too far." Donglin Yan Xue arrived before Jianchen. She stared at Xuan Ming with an ugly expression as her presence skyrocketed, "With me here today, Xuan Ming, your protector sword won't be able to harm Jianchen."
"Senior Xuan Ming, if you want to touch senior brother, I can only work with sister Yan Xue to deal with you," at this moment, Bai Yu stood forward and said firmly.
"Xuan Ming, don't be too ambitious. You already possess a protector sword, so why aren't you satisfied?" Han Xin also stood before Jianchen.
Now, Donglin Yan Xue, Bai Yu, and Han Xin had formed a united front. They all stood on Jianchen's side.
Xuan Ming's expression became rather ugly as he looked at Donglin Yanxue and the others.
"Ming 'er, come back with me." At this moment, a heavy voice rang out. The vice-leader of the Radiant Saint Hall, Xuan Zhan, suddenly appeared behind Xuan Ming.
Xuan Zhan glanced at Jianchen deeply. He said nothing, nor did he look at Donglin Yan Xue, Bai Yu, and Han Xin. He grabbed Xuan Ming by the shoulder and vanished. He had already left.
"Vice-leader Xuan Zhan, he- he's actually come as well," Donglin Yan Xue paled in fright. Lingering fear filled her face.
The most powerful person in the Radiant Saint Hall was no longer the leader, Yu Chen. Instead, it was the vice-leader, Xuan Zhan. She knew extremely well that if Xuan Zhan wanted to keep Jianchen here, no one would be able to stop him.
Not only was Xuan Zhan extremely powerful, but he also possessed a protector sword.
Even though the Protector Sword was not ranked very high, due to his own strength, he was able to unleash even more power with the Protector Sword in his hand.
"Xuan Zhan actually didn't take action?" Han Xin murmured. Xuan Zhan's attitude left him perplexed. Did Xuan Zhan not want to take back the Grand Exalt's cultivation method?
"Senior brother, it's no longer safe here. Leave quickly," Bai Yu said anxiously. Xuan Zhan's appearance made her extremely worried for Jianchen's safety. She was afraid that even more people would learn about his identity.
