Apotheosis

Zen hadn't expected this woman to pay attention to him.

After all, it was Kenelm who had presented the cyan sword to her, not Zen.

She shouldn't have reacted that way.

After thinking for a while, Zen immediately put on a worried look and said, "This huge reward is indeed amazing. I'm just worried that Kenelm may not be able to bear it. As the saying goes, an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth."

The pale woman looked at Zen and thoughtfully asked, "So you're worried about this? Well, it's not a difficult problem... I can only give him a part of it for the time being... But you are right! If all the reward is given to Kenelm, I'm afraid that many people from the Sword Light Palace will be tempted to rob him."

Nervousness was written all over Kenelm's face. He looked at the woman and asked anxiously, "Then what should I do?"

The pale woman glanced at him indifferently and looked away. She said, "What should you do? That has nothing to do with me. If you can find ten people, I will take you on the journey. However, I will only wait for one day."

With that, she floated in the air and left.

The three men from the Sword Light Palace followed her too. Worried about being seen as a poor host, the lord of the Excellence City also left to follow them.

Only Zen, Kenelm and the guards of the Qi Clan remained.

These guards couldn't dare to take revenge. They were sure that the woman would not trouble them, so they, too, escaped quickly one by one.

Kenelm was worried sick by now. The more he thought about Zen's words, the more he was convinced. He asked, "Zen, what... what should I do?"

Zen smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry too much, Kenelm. The reward of the Sword Light Palace is very valuable, but you can refuse it."

"What! Refuse it?" Kenelm was shocked to hear this.

The reward was enough to make the Lai Clan a formidable force in the entire Gracious Province. Nobody would refuse it casually.

Hesitation and pain were written all over his face.

"After all, you've attained your goal of getting the tomb and joining the Sword Light Palace, haven't you?

en Zen practiced several hundred or thousand Godly Ways if he was tens of millions of years old, or even hundreds of millions of years old. But this guy was less than two hundred years old!

There were six places left with Kenelm after Zen was specially given a place by the woman.

Two of the six places were allocated to the members of the Lai Clan, two to the lord of the Excellence City, and the other two to the two big clans of the Excellence City. So everyone could be happy. The Lai Clan was not a big clan in the Excellence City so it was likely that it would now gain prominence thanks to Kenelm.

The following day, in the East Port of the Excellence City, the lord of the Excellence City was seeing those people off with his subordinates.

The pale woman held the long cyan sword in her hand, and, there was an indelible sadness in her eyes.

She did not reveal the fact that the owner of the cyan sword was her own father.

Hundreds of years had passed, and her grief had already subsided, but many parties were involved in her father's death. If this sword was taken back to the Sword Light Palace now, she would have to suffer a lot.

As she was reflecting on this, her gaze swept down the large flying ship and finally landed on Zen.

In her eyes, he was the only one who had the qualifications to enter the Sword Light Palace among the eleven people who got the places. He was her only hope.
