The left and right old protectors on the two sides of the hall revealed very dissatisfied expressions towards Helan Zhixuan.
"This time, we have something to announce."”
"There are still ten days before the Sword Technique Conference, which is held every four years in the martial arts world," the Left Protector said. "In the past, we disdained to associate with those who claimed to be famous in the martial arts world. Although we disdained to dominate the martial arts world, we could not completely isolate ourselves from them. As a result, we knew nothing about martial arts masters, especially the young heroes of today. " We've received news that the Sacred Sacred Sect will send people over as well. As everyone knows, the Sacred Sacred Sect is the only enemy that our Divine Religion can take a fancy to. The Sacred Sacred Sect's Divine Lord Murong Sheng is also the only person that our lord is willing to fight.”He was Huo Mo Xu. Other than Gu Shi Xuan, he was the most powerful person here and also the one with the highest martial arts.
Right Protector He Lianrong continued," Therefore, our lord has discussed with us. The Heavenly God Sect will send two people to participate in this Sword Technique Conference. It is said that the Sword Technique Conference is mainly to provide a good opportunity for the young heroes of the younger generation to compete. After careful consideration, the lord chose the best candidate to understand the martial arts world.”
Everyone's gaze was focused on Helan Zhixuan and Ji Qingxi. They were clearly the chosen ones. Of the four great young masters, Flower and Moon were already on a mission outside. Only Wind and Snow were still in the sect. A domineering green-clothed youth standing at the side had an unwilling expression. He was Su Pengyong, Protector Right's favorite disciple, and also favored by Gu Shixuan.
The Right Protector He Lianrong added," The people we have chosen are Helan Zhixuan and Ji Qingxi. They are young and accomplished. They have been raised and taught by the Divine Religion for many years. This trip is also a good opportunity to train them."”
Ji Qingxi bowed and said,""Thank you for your appreciation, my lord. Don't worry, I will not fail my mission.”
Helan Zhixuan's face was filled with a contemptuous smile, but she didn't say anything.
"On this trip, you have to take care of each other and bring out the abilities of the God Sect!" Gu Shixuan said coldly.”
Ji Qingxi was completely obedient." Remember the lord's words. We will definitely not disappoint the people and show off our might for the Divine Religion!"”
Left Protector Huomo Xu couldn't stand Helan Zhixuan's nonchalant and frivolous look anymore. He said,""Helan Zhixuan, did you hear the lord's words clearly? If you do anything inappropriate, you should be very clear about the consequences!”
Helan Zhixuan looked drunk and did not respond.
Huomo Xu was enraged and roared,""Helan Zhixuan!"
Helian Rong had already endured Helan Zhixuan for a long time and reprimanded,"He's too arrogant. He's simply condescending!”
Gu Shixuan saw that He Lan didn't respect the left and right protectors and was unhappy. He shouted,"Helan Zhixuan!"
The lord shouted and the hall fell silent. Gu Shixuan's high pitch made Helan Zhixuan sober up a little. He stopped smiling and lowered his head.
In the stalemate, a person with a certain status in the Divine Religion said,""My lord, this is not the first time Helan Zhixuan has seen you drunk. It's really detestable. If you don't punish her severely, where will your dignity be? I think you should…"
Before he could finish, a silver needle shot out from Gu Shixuan's sleeve. Everyone was shocked and the silver needle flew into the forehead of the person who had just spoken, killing him on the spot. This scene caused Helan Zhixuan to be completely awake. Her heartbeat sped up, and cold sweat broke out on Ji Qingxi's forehead.
An image immediately flashed through Helan Zhixuan's mind:
It was in the training grounds of the Deity Cult. Gu Shixuan said to the fourteen-year-old Helan Zhixuan,"Do you see these people in front? They are all my prisoners of war. Use the skills I taught you to kill them all in half an incense's time!”
Gu Shixuan gave the guard a look and the guard lit the incense.
Helan Zhixuan looked at the dozens of black-robed men in front of him with long knives in their hands. His hand that held the sword was trembling. He was afraid to see others die, but he was even more afraid to face death himself. He Lan turned to look at Gu Shixuan. From his eyes, He Lan could see how lowly life was.
Gu Shixuan raised his voice and said in an unquestionable tone,"Kill them! If one of them is still alive within half an hour, even if you are not hacked to death by them, not only will they die, you will also die!”
Helan Zhixuan's hand that was holding the sword was trembling.
"Hurry up and do it!" Gu Shixuan clearly didn't have much patience.
Helan Zhixuan still didn't want to die. He vaguely felt that his fate had been controlled by someone else. He ran into the group of black robed men and slashed wildly. One by one, the black robed men fell to the ground. His sword was covered in blood. Helan Zhixuan had lost her senses and was only fighting on the edge of death when she heard Gu Shixuan's wild laughter.
This scene quickly flashed by, Helan Zhixuan lowered her head, not daring to look into Gu Shixuan's eyes.
Gu Shixuan scanned the entire hall and said,"It's not my place to be lectured by others!”
The left and right protectors didn't say anything when they saw Gu Shixuan so angry. Su Pengyong's face instantly paled. In the Divine Religion, the consequence of angering Gu Shixuan at any time was very tragic. Presumably, only Helan Zhixuan had such treatment.
"Helan Zhixuan, did you hear what I said to the two guardians?" Gu Shixuan paused.”
"I've heard it clearly. He Lan will definitely remember it in his heart."”
Gu Shixuan's killing intent had eased up a lot. He waved his hand and said,"Clean up the temple."
Two guards moved the body away.
Gu Shixuan continued,"Alright, that's all. Ji Qingxi and Helan Zhixuan will leave tomorrow."”
Helan Zhixuan and Ji Qingxi replied at the same time,""Yes."
Gu Shixuan waved his hand,"All of you can leave. Helan Zhixuan, stay behind.”
Other than Helan Zhixuan, everyone else retreated respectfully. Helan Zhixuan still had lingering fear in her heart.
Gu Shixuan walked down the stairs to Helan Zhixuan's side. He placed a hand on Helan Zhixuan's shoulder. Helan Zhixuan was really afraid that Gu Shixuan would suddenly break his arm with his hand, and he had to show a flattering smile.
"He Lan, I think highly of you. You should know this, you're the only one I've personally taught martial arts to." You have to listen to me and never disobey me, understand?”
"He Lan is loyal to my lord and has no second thoughts."”
Gu Shixuan, who had always been expressionless, revealed a rare smile."Very good. Don't let me down. You're a talent.”
He Lan heaved a sigh of relief. He did not want to say anything more. His pride and arrogance had disappeared without a trace. At this moment, all that was left was fear and flattery. This man had given him a lot and ruined him a lot.
Another scene flashed through Helan Zhixuan's mind:
In the same place, Gu Shixuan said to the eight year old Helan Zhixuan,"From now on, you are a member of the Divine Religion. I know you have suffered a lot in the past, but I will protect you from now on.”
Helan Zhixuan looked at Gu Shixuan innocently. The man in front of her had a kind smile as he stroked He Lan's hair.
Helan Zhixuan smiled. Her smile was very cute and bright as she said,"Uncle, thank you."
"Do you still remember who you are?" Gu Shixuan asked.”
Helan Zhixuan thought for a moment. He had almost no memory of what happened before he was eight years old. He seemed to have lost all his memories overnight. He shook his head.
"Then let me tell you, your name is Helan Zhixuan. Remember this name, it will shake the world."”
Every time she recalled this, Helan Zhixuan still felt a trace of warmth. No matter what, this egotistical man was his savior and also his benefactor. He gave him a chance to live again, so he should be filled with gratitude.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to complete this mission. I'll give you a treasure."”
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard came over with a sword rack and placed it on the rack. Just by looking at the sheath made of gold and silver and the diamond trim, one could tell that it was expensive.
"This sword is called Bi Ye, it will be your sword from now on. It can cut through iron like mud and is extremely hard."”
Helan Zhixuan was moved, taking the Bi Ye sword from Gu Shixuan's hand. This man always had a trace of concern for him,"He Lan will never forget how well my lord treats him.”
Gu Shixuan laughed,"You and I are like father and son."”
Then Gu Shixuan added,"As long as you are obedient."”Gu Shixuan's hand on Helan Zhixuan's shoulder landed on his handsome face. His eyes revealed an incomparable appreciation for the youth before him.
Helan Zhixuan accepted the sword and continued to smile stiffly. His life was in the hands of others. His life was no longer something he could control. Even his name was given by others.
