Wu Lu and Gong Ji looked at each other when they saw how confident the young star lord was. They both frowned. They seemed to have guessed something.
…
On the extremely distant Desolate Plane, the disturbance caused by Jianchen had completely settled down. Even after so many years, many people on the Desolate Plane still could not forget Jianchen's name. However, very few people mentioned him anymore.
Only an extremely huge crater remained, proving just how shocking of a matter Jianchen had done on the Desolate Plane in the past.
Naturally, the huge crater had been created by Jianchen using the essence blood of the eight experts underground.
However, compared to before, the crater was clearly much smaller.
It was being filled up bit by bit by the warriors from the various forces in the Barren State. It was believed that it would not be long before this place returned to its original state.
The Celestial Sword Saint spent most of his time in seclusion in the Sword God Mountains, ignoring the matters of the world. He was extremely aloof, sitting firmly as the greatest expert on the Desolate Plane. The various peak organisations constantly competed both openly and covertly. It seemed like the current Desolate Plane was no different from before Jianchen's arrival.
Of course, this was only on the surface. If someone paid attention, they would be able to clearly sense that the entire situation on the Desolate Plane had undergone an overwhelming change.
This was because the Radiant Saint Hall, which originally only ranked towards the middle of the peak organisations on the Desolate Plane, now showed signs of unifying the entire Desolate Plane.
All of this was because of the protector swords in the Radiant Saint Hall.
At this moment, one of the wielders of the protector swords, Han Xin, sat on the top of the Soaring Clouds Peak within the Radiant Saint Hall. He faced a cliff as he stared at the sea of people in the distance in a daze.
Behind Han Xin stood a scholarly, middle-aged man. He possessed an extraordinary bearing and was an Infinite Prime. He gave off the bearing of someone who had been in a high position for a long time. He gave off a dignified aura.
However, right now, he was smiling as he stood behind Han Xin rather cautiously. He said a few things carefully, and there was some awkwardness in his voice.
"Han Xin, I know you have a lot of opinions about the family, but no matter what, the blood of the Han family flows in your veins …"
"The two old ancestors of the family talk about you every day. They say that you, Han Xin, are the greatest pride of the Han family. All the elders in the family are proud of you, Han Xin …"
"Han Xin, right now, everyone in the family, from the two ancestors to the children who haven't yet matured, is thinking about you all the time. Do you think you should take some time … take some time to go back and take a look?"
…
This scholarly middle-aged man was the patriarch of the Han family. He had an extremely high status in the Han family, but at this moment, he appeared very cautious in front of Han Xin. He even spoke softly and with a hint of flattery, as if he was afraid that he would offend Han Xin in some way.
Han Xin remained silent as he sat on the edge of the cliff. He stared at the clouds in a daze, completely unaffected. However, he sighed inside and thought, "If I hadn't obtained the protector swords, I wonder what I would be like right now?" Han Xin glanced down. He was at the foot of the Soaring Clouds Peak, but at this moment, many peak lords had gathered there. There were even two elders.
These people had all come to visit him. They all waited quietly at the foot of the mountain. Without his summons, even the two elders dared not take a single step onto the Soaring Clouds Peak.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the sound of a bell rang out from the sacred hall in the clouds, echoing through the entire Radiant Saint Hall.
This was the signal to gather all the upper echelon of the Radiant Saint Hall.
"Teacher!" A white figure flew out from a cave halfway up the Soaring Clouds Peak and arrived before Han Xin quickly.
She was Bai Yu. She wore the white robes that symbolized Radiant Saint Masters. She stood there gracefully with an extraordinary bearing. An extremely terrifying power seemed to be lurking around her.
This was the power of the fourth protector sword, Cliffscraper's Sword.
"So it's junior sister Bai Yu. It's been a while, and you've become more and more beautiful," the patriarch of the Han family smiled and greeted Bai Yu politely.
Bai Yu frowned and subconsciously took a step away from the patriarch of the Han family. She seemed to be extremely uncomfortable with the title of 'junior sister Bai Yu'.
"Bai Yu, let's go." Han Xin stood up. He ignored the patriarch of the Han family and called out to Bai Yu before taking off with her, directly flying towards the sacred hall.
As wielders of protector swords, Bai Yu and Han Xin possessed extremely esteemed statuses in the Radiant Saint Hall. They could enter and leave the sacred hall and the Tower of Radiance freely long ago. Even the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall did not have the authority to restrict the protectors.
However, the two of them were already accustomed to living on the Soaring Clouds Peak. As a result, even after becoming protectors, they still treated the Soaring Clouds Peak as their residence. They rarely went to the sacred hall.
At the same time, the two elders who waited at the foot of the Soaring Clouds Peak flew towards the sacred hall as well.
Before long, the sacred hall that stood at the end of the sea of clouds was filled with people. The leader of the Radiant Saint Hall, Yu Chen, the eight vice-leaders, the wielders of protector swords, Han Xin, Bai Yu, Xuan Ming, Donglin Yan Xue, Gongsun Zhi, and the various elders had all gathered there.
"Gongsun Zhi, why have you rung the bell to gather everyone?" The leader of the Radiant Saint Hall, Yu Chen, sat at the very front and asked Gongsun Zhi.
Gongsun Zhi stood with his arms behind his back. He looked around and glanced past the eight vice-leaders and the various elders. He said, "I've already found Jianchen's whereabouts. He's currently hiding in the southern region of the Cloud Plane, in a place called the Tianyuan family. Jianchen, the thief, snuck into our Radiant Saint Hall under the alias of Yang Yutian and stole our greatest legacy, the Method of the Exalted Saint. Now, it's time for us to take it back. "
"Hmph. Gongsun Zhi, don't slander me. My senior brother is not a thief. He snuck into our Radiant Saint Hall under an alias because he has the Anatta Tower on him. All the peak experts of the Saints' World want that. As for the Method of the Exalted Saint, why don't you think about it carefully? Why can't anyone else obtain it but my senior brother? That just shows that the Method of the Exalted Saint is fated with my senior brother, "Bai Yu rebutted forcefully as soon as Gongsun Zhi finished speaking.
They were all protectors, but they were unable to harm each other at all because the protector swords did not allow it. As a result, none of them feared each other.
