Apotheosis

With blood flowing down along its edge, the quaint cyan sword started glowing once again. The sword released a sharp aura.

As Zen saw this, his eyelids twitched as fear gripped his heart. He felt afraid that the cyan sword would cut him in half.

'This is the Truth of Eternal Sword Intent contained in the cyan sword, ' Zen thought.

In order to get the sword from inside the cave, Zen had risked his life fighting for it. He even got injured before he successfully got a hold of the sword.

Since this sword was activated by this pale faced woman, the power of the Truth of Eternal Sword Intent might have increased by a hundred times. Approaching it recklessly would probably have Zen cut into pieces by the Truth of Eternal Sword Intent alone.

He wondered how powerful the owner of the cyan sword was.

Buzz!

After it absorbed the woman's blood, a blood line was left on its blade. As the blood line gathered on its blade, dots of blood red light started to glow one by one gradually.

Looking at the dots of blood on the glowing sword, Kenelm and the lord of the Excellence City were surprised, their eyes wide open.

The standard sword in the Sword Light Palace was the Blood Kill Sword. Every Stinger Guard possessed this type of sword, and a dot of blood red light on it meant that its owner was a one-star Stinger Guard. It was also a secret known to most of the people in the Excellence City, even in the Gracious Province.

"One, two, three, four, five!" As Kenelm counted the number of blood light dots on the sword, his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Even the city lord's heart thumped wildly in his chest.

If a five-star Stinger Guard's tomb was excavated, and their personal effects were handed over to the Sword Light Palace, the excavator could get five places in the Sword Light Palace.

It was rare for anyone to get so many places at one time. Even the lord of the Excellence City could not ignore such a chance to earn a place.

"It's actually a five-star Stinger Guard!" Kenelm felt completely flabbergasted. His face reflected an indescribable expression.

Previously, he thought a one-star Stinger Guard would bring him satisfaction. At least, he could enter the Sword Light Palace. Never in his wildest dream did he expect what he had found was a five-star Stinger Guard's tomb.

The lord of the Excellence City couldn't help but step forward before he bowed to th

, and having the East Port, the flow of people and scale of trade were not small. Therefore, the overall wealth of all the people in the area was definitely not a small amount.

Just the mere thought of fifty times the wealth of the Excellence City would make anyone feel dizzy. Kenelm was afraid that he would faint as he set his mind on it.

Shifting her attention to Zen, the pale-faced woman stared at him with a strange expression. Through her sad eyes, she asked, "You seem to have… no... psychological fluctuation?"

Of course, Zen did not have much psychological fluctuation and his expression remained very serene.

The Sword Light Palace was, after all, a big force. The reward offered for finding the former leader was quite high and promising. However, the divine crystals that Zen received were the heritage of the entire Nine Li race. Although he only took half of it, it was still an astronomical amount. So hearing this now from the lady, Zen was not shocked at all.

On another hand, Zen was busy analyzing the turn of events. Knowing that Kenelm was not powerful enough and his talent was far from enough to attract the attention of the Sword Light Palace, Zen assumed that getting such a great fortune might not be advantageous on his end. Instead, it would be a disaster.

Rich as Zen was, only a few people like Emily and Leopold knew it. If Kenelm went to the Sword Light Palace to claim his reward, he would be killed in less than two hours after leaving the Sword Light Palace. What was more, it was very likely that the person who would do that was from the Sword Light Palace.
