Ye Xuan removed the Overlord Pawn, directly causing a great shock throughout the land.
Within the Sword Tomb, some ancient elders who were undying could not help but open their eyes at that moment, looking towards the direction of Emperor Night Peak, their eyes revealing a color of shock.
The Overlord Pawn, it was actually taken by someone!
Inside the grand hall of the Sword Tomb, the four generations of Sect Leaders all revealed expressions of horror.
"To Emperor Night Peak!"
The leading young man spoke at the first opportunity, taking everyone with him as he was the first to arrive at the front of Emperor Night Peak.
"This person is extraordinary!" After arriving at Emperor Night Peak, Yuan Kong’s master, that is, the white-haired old man, couldn’t help but sigh softly.
Gu Ya, who was originally outside Emperor Night Peak and unable to extricate herself from the shock, suddenly woke up at this moment.
Only then did she realize that several people had suddenly arrived beside her.
"Sect Leader Uncle!?"
When she saw Yuan Kong, Gu Ya was startled, and then she greeted him with a bow: "Disciple Gu Ya, pays respects to Sect Leader Uncle."
Yuan Kong waved his hand slightly, indicating that Gu Ya need not be too formal.
Upon seeing this, Gu Ya straightened up, but she couldn’t suppress the shock in her heart and whispered, "Sect Leader Uncle, did this guy enter Emperor Night Peak with your permission? So, is the anomaly now related to him?"
She had personally seen Ye Xuan enter Emperor Night Peak and display an invincible posture.
However, the countless Flying Swords suspended in the Sky Dome, with their unceasing sword cries, left Gu Ya somewhat perplexed.
She didn’t know whether all of this had anything to do with Emperor Night Peak.
"The swords and sabers of the world are greeting their Emperor!" Yuan Kong said with a solemn expression, gazing at the summit of Emperor Night Peak.
Swords and sabers have spirits, and they know who their Emperor is.
When the Emperor appears, they will actively greet him.
The Overlord Pawn, it is their Emperor!
The Emperor of Swords and Sabers — the Overlord Pawn!
"King..." Gu Ya was somewhat dazed.
So, swords have kings too?
Then, who has obtained this ’Emperor’s Sword’?
From the expression of Sect Leader Uncle, Gu Ya could somewhat understand.
The one who obtained this sword was definitely the youth who had just broken into Emperor Night Peak!
Atop Emperor Night Peak.
Ye Xuan released his right hand, allowing the Overlord Pawn to fly towards the Sword Box on its own and be sealed within.
Immediately after, the Sword Box rose automatically, flying in front of Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan’s eyes were calm as he lightly touched the black Sword Box with his fingertips.
Above the black Sword Box, beams of black light shone, enveloping it.
Immediately afterwards, the Sword Box disappeared.
When it reappeared, it was already inside the Mud Ball Palace within Ye Xuan’s forehead.
Also at this moment, a small black sword emerged on Ye Xuan’s forehead, extremely tiny and eerily peculiar.
Having collected the Overlord Pawn, Ye Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air, his eyes twinkling with a sharp light.
In front, however, a figure emerged.
It was a phantom image, tall and robust, wearing coarse linen clothes, with strands of clear energy shrouding the face, obscuring it from view.
But from this phantom, could be felt waves of destructive fluctuations.
It seemed as if the laws of this world could not withstand its power.
He held a sword behind his back, and now, looking at Ye Xuan from a distance, he bowed and said, "Disciple Huang Chunqiu, pays respects to Master."
The voice did not transmit, but Ye Xuan heard it clearly.
This phantom was none other than Huang Chunqiu, known as the Sword Maddened, the Sword Ancestral, the First Sword Emperor of the Human Clan!
He was also the founding patriarch of the Sword Tomb!
"You’ve worked hard," Ye Xuan said with a slight nod.
The Overlord Pawn, he didn’t entrust it to anyone else, but to Huang Chunqiu, precisely due to his trust in him.
Additionally, Huang Chunqiu was also Ye Xuan’s fourth disciple.
The Giant Spirit Emperor was Huang Chunqiu’s second senior brother.
All along, the power within Guo Hezu had been preserved by Huang Chunqiu, and it was he who had gradually unleashed its power, step by step.
Back then, Ye Xuan was unable to utilize Guo Hezu.
The layout of today was anticipated by Ye Xuan years ago.
And within that arrangement, Huang Chunqiu was the most crucial element.
Huang Chunqiu did perfectly in preserving Guo Hezu until this day.
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, Huang Chunqiu’s figure gradually blurred, as if whisked away by the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
This apparition couldn’t even be considered as a remnant soul of Huang Chunqiu; it was merely an obsession left behind by Huang Chunqiu who had kept company with Guo Hezu all this time.
Now that Guo Hezu was taken by Ye Xuan, this obsession naturally dissipated.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh————
Simultaneously, myriad blades and swords returned to their rightful places at this moment.
Clang, clang, clang————
The Divine Sun Sword, the Winter Thunder Blade, were all claimed by Zhou Youwei.
Qiao Xinyu’s Black Saber also returned to its scabbard.
The Lifebound Flying Swords of Yuan Kong and the others returned to their sides as well.
All the famous swords in the three Sword Pools returned to their positions.
So did East Desolate.
This anomaly arrived quickly and departed just as fast.
But the shock it left was indelible.
The three demon-like existences at the Tower Ascending Sword Pool were also shocked beyond measure.
Especially the Heavenly Mansion Saint, who after the shock, looked at Xu Zhonglou with a dispirited expression and asked, "Brother Xu, does your Sword Tomb really house such a monster?"
He couldn’t even lift a famous sword, yet he had just witnessed such an anomaly.
It was terrifying to the extreme.
The Tiantong Holy Daughter was somewhat better off, as curiosity arose within her, "Big brother Xu, why not take us to meet this senior?"
Xu Zhonglou fiercly wiped his face and withdrew his gaze from the direction of Emperor Night Peak, saying in a deep voice, "To tell you the truth, I actually have no idea what happened."
He had never seen such an anomaly before.
But for some reason, he felt that this matter had a great connection with the Forbidden Land of Emperor Night Peak.
"Let’s continue with our affairs," Xu Zhonglou suggested.
"Alright then." Seeing this, the Heavenly Mansion Saint and the Tiantong Holy Daughter could only comply with their host and continue their cultivation.
However, after such an event, they found it difficult to calm their minds and senses, and they were unsuccessful for a long time.
Xu Zhonglou didn’t look at them, instead he occasionally cast his gaze towards Emperor Night Peak, his expression grave.
Outside Emperor Night Peak, Yuan Kong and others were waiting.
Chu Jiangqiu and others had also arrived on the scene.
Their eyes were all fixed on Emperor Night Peak.
Under the watchful eyes of many, a black-robed youth with his hands in his pockets, strolled leisurely out from within Emperor Night Peak.
As he walked, millions of threads of Sword Intent closely followed him.
The moment he stepped out of Emperor Night Peak, millions of threads of Sword Intent transformed into a force and vanished.
To be precise, it seemed to have been absorbed into the small black sword at Ye Xuan’s forehead.
The scene made everyone’s scalp tingle.
Yuan Kong and the others did not dare to be negligent. They approached Ye Xuan proactively and saluted, "May I ask how the friend’s battle turned out...?"
They didn’t even dare to address Ye Xuan as a junior anymore, but as a fellow Daoist.
"Emperor Night Peak will return to normal from now on," Ye Xuan said slowly.
"Does that mean, fellow Daoist, you really acquired Guo Hezu?!" The young man stared intently at Ye Xuan, his eyes showing a hint of excitement.
"Would you like to have a look?" Ye Xuan asked with a smile that was not quite a smile as he glanced at the young man.
