After all, they were only the wielders of the protector swords. They were not the masters of the protector swords. As long as they were not the masters, the protector swords could leave them at any time.
Of course, there were very few chances for the Guardian Swords to transmit information to them. Only when the Guardian Swords were in danger would the Guardian Swords send a warning to each other.
"Gongsun Zhi is a despicable person. The Radiant Saint Hall will be much more peaceful if he dies. Why do the protector swords want us to save him?" Donglin Yan Xue was extremely furious in the Donglin clan. She clearly hated Gongsun Zhi the most, yet she was told to save him now. She felt extremely conflicted.
In the end, the five protectors gathered together. Under the guidance of the protector swords in their hands, they all headed towards the foreign region where Gongsun Zhi was trapped.
The space where Gongsun Zhi was in was very far away. First, they used the cross-continent teleportation formation to cross a dozen continents. Finally, they used the power of the protector swords to cross an unknown distance in the vast sea of stars before finally arriving at the place where Gongsun Zhi was trapped.
At this moment, the six protector swords of the Radiant Saint Hall gathered in outer space for the first time.
However, when they saw the colossal space beast, all four of them aside from Xuan Zhan were shocked.
This was the first time the four of them had seen such a colossal space beast.
Afterwards, an earth-shaking battle naturally erupted. With the arrival of Xuan Zhan and the others, Gongsun Zhi was saved as well.
"Fantastic. Vice-leader Xuan Zhan, you've finally come to assist me. I've already battled the space beast for many days. It's basically exhausted. Quick, let's all work together and kill it," Gongsun Zhi laughed. The arrival of Xuan Zhan and the others allowed him to relax completely. He no longer felt despair from before. Instead, he became high-spirited as his presence swelled.
This was because he knew that he would not die to the terrifying space beast after Xuan Zhan and the others arrived.
Afterwards, Gongsun Zhi stopped being passive and began to take the initiative. He fought the space beast with Xuan Zhan and the others.
The six protector swords of the Radiant Saint Hall all shone brightly, illuminating the dark space. They engaged in an earth-shaking battle with the space beast.
However, the space beast was just too powerful, and its body was unrivalled. After a few clashes, they discovered to their shock that aside from Xuan Zhan, the five of them were unable to injure the space beast at all.
Even Xuan Zhan was only able to inflict some moderate wounds on this space beast.
Every time the space beasts attacked, they would be slapped far away. Even with the protection of the Guardian Swords, this kind of feeling made them feel uncomfortable.
"Let's retreat. We can't do anything to it," said Xuan Zhan.
"Are we going to let him go just like that?" Gong Sunzhi was unwilling to give up. He had been bullied by this Giant Star Beast for so long that his life had almost been in danger. Now that he had finally found a chance to take revenge, he found that he couldn't do anything to it. This made it difficult for him to calm down the resentment in his heart.
Xuan Zhan stared at Gong Sunzhi emotionlessly and said, "If you want revenge, you can stay behind. We won't be keeping you company." Because Gong Sunzhi had forced Yu Chen to abdicate, causing Yu Chen to leave the Radiant Saint Hall, Xuan Zhan did not have a good impression of Gong Sunzhi. He showed no mercy when he said that. He did not care about Gong Sunzhi's identity as the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall at all.
Gong Sunzhi was indeed unable to act tough before Xuan Zhan. At the very least, he did not have the confidence to stand up to Xuan Zhan while facing the threat of the space beast.
As a result, he could only snort coldly inside. He glared at the space beast that had humiliated him with great reluctance before turning around and leaving.
In the end, the six of them successfully left with the strongest Xuan Zhan bringing up the rear.
Soon after Gong Sunzhi returned to the Radiant Saint Hall, Huangfu Guiyi and Xu Zhiping of the Xu family went to find him. They hoped that Gong Sunzhi could fulfil his promise and allow some of the juniors in their clans to inherit the protector swords.
Both Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi had dragged themselves over with heavy injuries. They were quite injured from the battle against the Martial Soul lineage and the Rain Abbess, so they would not be able to recover in a short amount of time.
However, they could not care about their injuries right now. All they cared about was the protector swords of the Radiant Saint Hall. They wanted the protector swords to fall into the hands of some of the juniors in their clans as soon as possible so that they could consolidate the strength and status of their clans.
"Hmph, the Martial Soul lineage is still alive, and not a single one of them has died. I didn't get the Method of the Exalted Saint back from Jianchen either. I failed to complete a single task on the Cloud Plane this time, yet you're shameless enough to ask me for a protector sword. Piss off, piss off …"
As soon as he returned to the Radiant Saint Hall, Gong Sunzhi swelled up once again. The presence of the six protectors gave him the confidence to look down on everyone. Coupled with his anger, he immediately pointed at Huangfu Guiyi and Xu Zhiping and cursed. He did not care about their dignity at all.
Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi became rather dazed from the curses. They were mighty Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Primes. Just how esteemed were they on the Desolate Plane? They only needed to wave their hands to change the situation on the Desolate Plane, yet they had been cursed by Gong Sunzhi who they had never taken seriously before.
Perhaps, this was the first time they had experienced something like this in their countless years of cultivation.
However, Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi returned to their senses soon afterwards. Their faces sank as an undetectable gleam of light flashed through the depths of their eyes. Clearly, Gong Sunzhi's words had completely infuriated them.
However, they did not show it. In the current Desolate Plane, their Midheaven clan and Xu family were the closest to Gong Sunzhi. It had not been easy for them to establish a relationship with Gong Sunzhi. Before they obtained the protector swords, they were unwilling to fall out with Gong Sunzhi.
"Just bear with it for now. Look at the bigger picture. Gong Sunzhi won't be able to stay around for long with how arrogant he is. Once the protector swords give up on him, he'll be nothing more than an ant …" Huangfu Guiyi said to Xu Zhiping secretly.
"This is infuriating. That brat Gongsun is far too arrogant. Once the protector swords fall into the hands of our two clans, we'll immediately form an alliance with Xuan Zhan and teach that brat a lesson," Xu Zhiping replied telepathically. He was furious.
Gongsun Zhi's merciless words had challenged Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi's dignity.
Even though they were furious, Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi did not directly contradict Gongsun Zhi on the surface.
"You can't blame us for this. You've witnessed the Rain Abbess' strength. If she wanted to protect the Martial Soul lineage, there was nothing we could do. Moreover, Sha Yun died because of this, "said Huangfu Guiyi.
