Chapter 485 - Desolation (1/2)

Right when the sword flew away, Zhong Yue quickly hugged Xuan Yuan in his arms as they plummeted down from the sky. The Pure Yang lightning instantly struck them, coming in strong and fast.

They were in the Pure Yang lightning zone, and with their Yuan Shen still haven't reached the Pure Yang state, they would naturally attract the lightning. Although Zhong Yue's mortal body allowed him to withstand the lightning, Xuan Yuan was still a feeble child who couldn't even talk properly.

Zhong Yue curled himself like a ball, fully covering Xuan Yuan with his body. He took the brunt of the force and brought Xuan Yuan safely down to the ground.

As soon as they alighted down, the crowd has swarmed over. Without any hesitation, Fu Bao snatched her baby boy back from Zhong Yue and stood as far away from him as possible. The mother then said to Xuan Yuan, "From now on, stay as far away from Uncle Zhong as possible, understand?"

Jun Sixie, Shui Zian and the others and surrounded Zhong Yue in the middle; not even a mosquito could fly out from the encirclement.

"BRAT! Didn't you say you'd be good?!" Shui Zian grabbed Zhong Yue's clothes and lifted him up from the ground, "You … you! Now our Swords Gate Golden Summit is destroyed, what are you going to do!? What are you going to do!?"

Before Zhong Yue could answer, Jun Sixie, whose face held a dark and gloomy expression, stepped forward and chided, "Now even our Swords Gate godly spirit has run away because of you! Junior Martial Brother Zhong, you are really good! That's our Swords Gate's first headmaster. Look at that, he's got nowhere to stay anymore!"

"My Triple Yang Palace is destroyed!", Elder Leishan said, "Seal Suppression Hall Hall Master, you have to compensate for my loss!"

"My Peach Blossom Hill has also crumbled!"

"Four Ken Beast and Shen Dragon are gone as well!"

"The Swords Gate Mountain is now considerably shorter than before! And the Golden Summit is gone!"

...

The complaints continued to stream into his ears, and Zhong Yue quickly said, "Please, people! Please, calm down! Let me explain!"

The crowd then calmed down and Zhong Yue explained everything to them, he said, "This sword is a gift from the Human Sovereign, it's a treasure for Xuan Yuan. And now that I've brought Xuan Yuan to it, it will surely have to come out and be with its master."

Jun Sixie asked curiously, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong, are you sure that sword is a treasure from the Human Sovereign to Xuan Yuan? Then why did the sword fly away just now?"

The other higher-ups also had the same doubts. The godly sword was really incredible, being able to even scare away the first headmaster's godly spirit. If the Great Wilderness could have such a weapon stronger than the other races' saint weapons, the humans would be safer!

But the sword just flew away, it didn't look like a sword given to Xuan Yuan by the Human Sovereign, this couldn't help but to make them doubt.

Rays flashed across Zhong Yue's eyes and he said while smiling, "There is another use for this sword, and that is to kill the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor. The sword is now in the emperor tomb to kill Bi Xie Celestial Emperor, and it will return to Xuan Yuan after its work is done."

The whole of Swords Gate was then in shock, their hearts thumped heavily as they thought, Kill Bi Xie Celestial Emperor?

As the emperor that once ruled the Ancestral Star and the surrounding planets, Bi Xie Celestial Emperor's divine court was in the West Barren. The many celestial races in West Barren and the myriad demon races across the sea were all descendants of his subjects!

On the other hand, the human race in Ancestral Star was taken as slaves and livestock for those races. The humans were even lower in status than the monster race.

The Bi Xie Celestial Race back then was exalted as the highest of royalty; and now, Zhong Yue was talking about the puniest human race killing the most royal Bi Xie Celestial Race?

The mere thought caused the hearts of all Qi Practitioners across Swords Gate to burn with fervor. They felt their blood boil in excitement and their hearts palpitating!

Although it wasn't them who would be doing it, it was the godly sword of the Human Sovereign, they were still proud of their own race!

When the normal Qi Practitioners were feeling the proudness in them, the higher-ups like Jun Sixie, Shui Zian and the others have thought further than that. If the Human Sovereign's godly sword returns to Swords Gate after it killed Bi Xie Celestial Emperor, wouldn't that mean that Swords Gate would have an emperor-level divine weapon?

With this divine weapon, the human race wouldn't have to be afraid of the other races anymore!

The South Barren Zhong Li Celestial Race, the West Barren Xiao Mang Celestial Race, they all dared to invade Swords Gate only because Swords Gate was weak, it wouldn't be able to fight against them.

But it would be different from now on, with this divine sword on the human's side, who dared to touch Swords Gate anymore?

"That sword, is it really the Human Sovereign's?" Jun Sixie couldn't help but ask again.

"I think it is, I guessed so…" Zhong Yue hesitated as he answered.

Jun Sixie's face turned dark while Zhong Yue laughed and said, "I guessed it. But when Xuan Yuan awakened the sword, my guesses turned out to be true. This sword should've been left behind by the Human Sovereign, its here to kill Bi Xie Celestial Race when he revives. After that, this sword can guard the human race while we continue to grow stronger."
