It was only then that they realized there was no craving for authority, power, wealth, and the like in Edward’s eyes. All he sought was to be able to continue his research and the pursuit for the universal truth.

However, between Hui He and the King of Trepidation, one of them found it hard to accept being controlled by others, while the other could not allow himself to fear others. As for Grade, he just wanted to engulf Fang Xingjian and all of the other Commanders.

Additionally, Reverend Fahui was unable to accept Fang Xingjian’s method of massacring the armies’ warriors. Therefore, none of these four people could submit to Fang Xingjian. However, Edward did not have such a problem.

The group continued to persuade Edward, but the latter had no intention of changing his mind at all.

Just then, Reverend Fahui took out the Abyss Sword and said, “This divine sword was taken from Fang Xingjian. It contains the world’s profoundness. If you’re willing to join forces with us to defeat Fang Xingjian, we can hand this sword to you for you to study it.”

Hearing Reverend Fa Hui’s words, the countenances of both the King of Trepidation and Grade turned grim. They almost wanted to stop this.

However, Hui He brought out the determination of a strong man breaking his arm, saying, “Edward, if you don’t believe this, you can go ahead and check this longsword. We definitely will not stop you.”

“Oh?” Edward had not gotten much information about the Abyss Sword in the report he had received earlier. After hearing the duo’s introduction, a hint of curiosity grew in his heart.

At the next moment, countless probing devices inside and outside of the space station were all aimed at the Abyss Sword in Fahui’s hands. Edward’s attention was immediately drawn to it.

“Hmmm? Unknown metal, and this molecular structure… Is it man-made?

“What a powerful radiation and magnetic flux…

“To think that there’s still an unknown space within it?

“Interesting…”

Edward was initially calm and indifferent like there was nothing that could draw his attention. However, his gaze was now alight.

He looked at the Abyss Sword and asked, “You said that this was obtained from Fang Xingjian?”

“That’s right,” Hui He answered and immediately shared the situation that they knew about. Then he added, “The other two swords have been taken away by Ming Wang and Akaryuu Juushirou respectively. Both of them have gone into hiding to study this sword’s profoundness.”

After that, the King of Trepidation said, “Edward, if even you are unwilling to help, then we can only consider releasing those two.”

Hearing the King of Trepidation’s words, everyone’s countenance changed. Edward, who had appeared calmed all this while, also frowned and questioned, “You’re threatening me?”

The King of Trepidation shrugged. “We can’t possibly just sit and await death, watching as Fang Xingjian kills us one by one.” Naturally, he had not really planned on doing this. He was just trying to coax and threaten Edward.

However, the King of Trepidation’s words seemed to be very effective. As he spoke, the entrance that was at the lower section of the space station opened up gradually. Then Edward continued to communicate through the ring’s energy, “Come in.”

…

In a stretch of wilderness in North America on Earth, Akaryuu Juushirou was in a fortification 12 kilometers underground. His body was emitting streams of crimson red glow which entangled toward the Light Pursuit Sword like many strings.

Countless energies and knowledge seethed to and fro incessantly, helping him to probe the profoundness in the Light Pursuit Sword.
