Chapter 2436 - You’re Bai Yu?

Chapter 2436: You’re Bai Yu?

At this moment, a group of elders approached the Tower of Radiance as well.

Their arrival immediately made the surroundings fall quiet. Even the Hallowed Saint Masters who scoffed at Bai Yu shut up.

Bai Yu saw her former master, Mu Shui, with a single glance.

In the past, when Bai Yu was just a nameless disciple of the Soaring Clouds Peak, it was Mu Shui who came to the Soaring Clouds Peak to accept her as a disciple. Mu Shui had taken her into the sacred hall, which made Bai Yu’s status rise up. She became an elder’s disciple, a position that all people envied.

However, it was also Mu Shui who expelled her, severing their ties as master and disciple. Bai Yu had basically fallen from heaven to hell in a single moment.

As she looked at Mu Shui’s familiar face, mixed feelings appeared in Bai Yu’s eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she made her way through the crowd and arrived before Mu Shui. She bowed and said, “Master!”

Bai Yu’s action caused all the elders to cast their gazes over, but all of their eyes were cold.

Mu Shui’s eyes were cold as well. She stared at Bai Yu emotionlessly and said, “Bai Yu, it’s actually inappropriate for you to be here. And I stopped being your master many years ago. You should call me elder.”

Bai Yu’s heart turned cold when she heard Mu Shui’s icy words. Her eyes reddened and teared up.

She could endure the sneers and scoffs from the Hallowed Saint Masters around her, but she was unable to ignore the words of her former master. Mu Shui’s coldness and emotionlessness stabbed at her heart like a needle. It caused piercing pain.

“Look, Donglin Yanxue has actually come as well...”

“What? Donglin Yanxue? That traitor who helped the Martial Soul lineage? She actually has the face to return...”

...

At this moment, a soft discussion started. The crowd surged.

The white-robed Donglin Yanxue, who possessed otherworldly beauty, slowly walked through the crowd.

Wherever she passed by, the surrounding Hallowed Saint Masters would step aside and automatically form a path.

Donglin Yanxue could obviously hear the discussions in the surroundings, but she did not care at all. She seemed composed.

In the end, she arrived before Mu Shui and bowed towards her. She said softly, “Master.”

“Yanxue, you’ve come,” Mu Shui smiled faintly as she faced Donglin Yanxue.

Donglin Yanxue had also helped Jian Chen in the past. As a matter of fact, her crimes were far more severe than Bai Yu’s.

However, Mu Shui treated Donglin Yanxue completely differently.

“You have to do your best and try to obtain a protector sword this time. Once you gain the recognition of the protector sword, no one else will dare to speak badly about you in the Radiant Saint Hall in the future,” Mu Shui said gently.

Donglin Yanxue’s eyes lit up, and she nodded gently.

“The protector swords!” Bai Yu clenched her fists tightly to another side. Originally, she felt nothing towards the protector swords. However, she had already grown tired of the harassment and abuse from her seniors in the past few years. As soon as she heard about what the protector swords could do, she became interested as well.

“Although it’s almost impossible for me to obtain a protector sword with my talent, I must do my best,” Bai Yu swore inside.

Before long, the leader and eight vice-leaders emerged from the Tower of Radiance simultaneously. They worked together to unlock the Grand Exalt’s formation around the Tower of Radiance before sending in all the Hallowed Saint Masters.

Opening the Grand Exalt’s formation required two vice-leaders at the very least, and they could not keep it open for too long. Since there were far too many Hallowed Saint Masters this time, the Grand Exalt’s formation needed to remain open for a long period of time, so they needed the leader and the eight vice-leaders to work together.

All the Hallowed Saint Masters gathered there charged into the Tower of Radiance as quickly as they could once the Grand Exalt’s formation was opened. They constantly flickered, and the Hallowed Saint Masters still outside rapidly decreased.

Finally, all the Hallowed Saint Masters had entered the Tower of Radiance after several hours. Even the elders did not remain.

The crowded hall had now become empty.

“Let’s go in as well. Let’s see just who will gain the recognition of the protector swords,” said the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall before disappearing with the vice-leaders. They also entered the Tower of Radiance.

All the Hallowed Saint Masters had already gathered together in the Tower of Radiance. There were several hundred thousand of them.

The Radiant Saint Hall possessed over a million disciples, but not every single one of them had comprehended the Laws of the Hallowed. As a result, basically all the Hallowed Saint Masters had gathered there now.

After all, the protector swords represented a chance to rise up. Everyone was interested. There were definitely not a lot of outliers like Han Xin.

All the Hallowed Saint Masters sat on the ground as they looked curiously at the nine mountains that hovered in the sky. Their eyes were filled with burning interest.

“Those who wield the nine swords shall serve the master of the Tower of Radiance, and they will only fight for the master...” The artifact spirit’s voice echoed through the surroundings like booming thunder.

The artifact spirit repeated the origins of the protector swords. After a stern warning, he said, “If there is anyone unwilling, you can leave now. Otherwise, once you wield a protector sword and refuse to abide by master’s orders, you will die from the backlash of the protector swords.”

Yu Chen, the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall, sighed gently when he heard that. With a single movement, he departed. Clearly, he did not plan on competing for the protector swords.

Xuan Zhan hesitated for a while as well before making up his mind and following Yu Chen out. He left this place.

Burning interest filled the eyes of the seven remaining vice-leaders. Clearly, they wanted to take a protector sword for themselves.

“I wonder how the protector swords can be obtained?” Donglin Yanxue stared at the swords that stood on the nine mountains and wondered to herself.

All the Hallowed Saint Masters gathered here possessed varying strength. If they were supposed to contend using their strength alone, it would clearly be unfair.

Who would be able to beat the seven vice-leaders?

“Artifact spirit, do you hear me? Give the nine protector swords to whoever I designate,” Gongsun Zhi snarled seriously. His face was sunken as he was extremely agitated.

He discovered that the artifact spirit did not seem to take him, the descendant of the Grand Exalt, seriously at all.

The nine protector swords meant the power of nine peak experts. He hoped that the people who wielded the swords would be under his control.

At this moment, the nine mountains that hovered in the sky suddenly exploded with light. The light was almost tangible, enveloping all the Hallowed Saint Master seated below.

Immediately, all the people shrouded by the white light lost their senses. All they could see was a white haze. They could not even expand the senses of their souls.

Even the vice-leaders were no exception.

This was because none of them could resist the power of the nine swords.

Bai Yu sat within the white, hazy light. She felt unsettled and nervous.

“You’re Bai Yu?” At this moment, a warm voice rang out.

A middle-aged man had appeared before her silently.

The middle-aged man wore white robes, and he seemed benevolent. His body seemed to possess a wondrous power that could settle the agitation within people and calm them down unknowingly.
