So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

At this moment, there was silence in the huge hall.

Everyone swallowed subconsciously and looked at the beauty who slowly opened her eyes with some surprise.

As the ice cubes on her body melted, ice mist rose slowly, and the little ice crystals made the already white skin look even more beautiful.

Lord of the Sword Palace!

This is a woman whose life is full of legends. From being the daughter of the director of a small martial arts school, relying on an ordinary whiteboard sword, all the way to the end, she finally resonated with the avenue, understood the true meaning of swordsmanship, and founded the Sword Palace. The peerless empress!

The heartbeats of everyone were speeding up uncontrollably, and they stared at the rebirth of an empress with bewilderment.

When the outside world heard that the master of the Sword Palace disappeared mysteriously, no one knew why she disappeared. However, since then, the Sword Palace has slowly declined.

After that, the Sword Palace was gradually forgotten by history. People only remembered the supreme grace of the Sword Palace Master. They had heard of the prosperity of the Sword Palace, but they had never seen it.

However, at this moment, they saw the palace mistress...and from the looks of it, she might not be dead yet? !

If so, then she should have sealed herself in the Sword Palace.

However, a Sword Emperor who has existed since ancient times has no problem living for several lives even if she does not seal herself. Why would she go out of her way to seal herself?

This question echoed in everyone's mind, even Mu Zhian was filled with surprise at this moment.

Because Emperor Qing was in front of him, he actually had more or less similar speculations about the fact that the master of the Sword Palace was still alive.

It is too difficult for a strong person in the Hedao realm to die completely. Unless their last ray of spiritual consciousness disappears, it will be difficult for them to completely disappear between heaven and earth.

And looking at it like this, before they arrived, the Sword Palace Master had frozen himself in the formation...

But the question is, why did the ice sculpture dissolve on its own after they arrived?

coincide?

Or is it that the Master of the Sword Palace is looking for his heir, so he wakes up from the seal now?

At this moment, everyone didn't even dare to move. They just stared at the beautiful woman at the end of the hall in confusion, fearing that if they moved even a little bit, they would attract the other person's attention and some accidents would happen.

But while everyone was wondering, the ice sculpture on the woman's body had completely melted.

She wore a dress with layers of complicated dark patterns, and her plump breasts held up the fabric, revealing a hint of white.

Even though the hall was slightly dim, it was still difficult to hide the beautiful translucent snow-white skin. Under the hem of the skirt was a pair of small and exquisite climbing shoes.

At this time, someone suddenly raised his hand and cupped his fist and said, "Young Master of Hidden Sword Pavilion, Yu Zimo, I have met my senior!"

The sudden sound was particularly conspicuous in the hall, and the Master of the Sword Palace inadvertently cast his eyes on the person who spoke.

Her eyes were cold and calm, and after a brief gaze, she whispered softly: "The talent is good."

Her voice is full of texture, and like the sound of jade being struck, it has a magical power that makes people feel calm.

There was a hint of joy in Yu Zimo's eyes, and he raised his hand and bowed: "Thank you, senior. Actually, I didn't intend to offend the Sword Palace this time. It's just that the Sword Palace came by itself this time, so..."

When he said this, he was secretly glad that he was clever. Speaking at this time, he immediately attracted the attention of the Sword Palace Master.

When the people around him saw this, they couldn't help but frown secretly, scolding Yu Zimo for being clever, and at the same time secretly hating themselves for not taking the opportunity to speak just now to get the attention of the Lord of the Sword Palace.

Seeing this, Ye Yu also frowned slightly and was about to speak.

At this time, he suddenly seemed to hear something in the bottom of his heart. He was stunned for a moment, and then remained silent.

Mu Zhian remained quiet, standing aside and watching.

The origin of the old man in Ye Yu's body is mysterious. If he could get the inheritance of the Sword Palace by opening his mouth and attracting the attention of the Lord of the Sword Palace, the old man should have warned Ye Yu long ago.

But Ye Yu has never made any movement since just now. Does this mean that things are not that simple?

Anyway, let’s wait and see.

After all, he did want the treasure of the Sword Palace, but that didn't mean he had to take too big a risk.

The biggest purpose of coming to Sword Palace this time is Bai Ruoxi. As long as everything goes well for her, it doesn't matter for him...

When Mu Zhian thought of this, the master of the Sword Palace had already spoken again: "Are you all here for the inheritance of the Sword Palace?"

Because Yu Zimo was the first to speak, some people could not sit still at this moment. They immediately clasped their fists and said: "It is said that the master of the Sword Palace is unparalleled. This time, I came to the Sword Palace to take a look at the Sword Palace that my senior founded in the past. Secondly, it would be an honor for this junior to continue to carry forward the sword palace’s skills.”

Having said so much, to put it bluntly, I want the skills in the Sword Palace.

The Master of the Sword Palace stood silently, just raising his fingertips and pointing at the high platform beside her.

Only now did everyone realize that on the high platform next to it, there was an ancient bronze sword bound by four chains, and the four chains happened to come from the four directions of the hall, which looked quite shocking.

"What you want is there. Whether you can get it or not depends on your fate." The cold and sweet voice of the Sword Palace Master sounded.

"Ancient Bronze Sword!"

Almost at that moment, everyone present had a little more eagerness in their eyes, staring at the bronze ancient sword on the high platform in front of the hall, which was bound by four chains from four directions.

You know, this bronze ancient sword is the ancestral weapon of the Sword Palace Master. If you can get this sword, the first place in the Ascension Conference will be easy to get? !

Yu Zimo's eyes were happy, and he immediately asked: "Can the junior go on stage and try now?"

"If you fail, the loser will be punished." The Sword Palace Master said, and there was no expression on his delicate and flawless face.

However, Yu Zimo's eyes were completely attracted by the bronze ancient sword at this time. Hearing this, he did not hesitate at all. He stepped on the ground, stretched out his hand towards the high platform, and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

Wei Mengrou's eyes moved slightly, and she couldn't help but look at Mu Zhian, as if she wanted to say something.

This ancient bronze sword is probably the third bronze fragment that Bai Ruoxi lacks. If it is taken away by someone else here...

But seeing Mu Zhian's calm eyes, Wei Mengrou finally held back what she wanted to say.

A rumbling sound suddenly came from the high platform in the distance, and everyone's eyes were attracted involuntarily.

In front of the high platform, Yu Zimo's cauldron was running wildly, and spiritual energy burst out. He grabbed the hilt of the sword bound by the chain with one hand, and then tried his best to break the chain.

But it was useless.

Yu Zimo was obviously unwilling. He gritted his teeth and held the hilt tightly, as if he was fighting against something, and let out a beast-like roar.

However, the ancient bronze sword remained motionless.

Yu Zimo's body staggered and fell off the high platform.

Bang!

Along with the sound of the body falling heavily to the ground, the voice of the Sword Palace Master also sounded without emotion: "Is there anyone else who wants to try?"

"Wait... I haven't given up yet!"

At this time, Yu Zimo immediately raised his head and looked at the Sword Palace Master. Although he was in a mess, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

"You have no causal relationship with the sword, and you can't pull out the sword." The Sword Palace Master replied coldly.

Yu Zimo stared at this stunning beauty, his eyes flickered slightly, and said: "You are not the real Sword Palace Master, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone below was moved.

Is Yu Zimo crazy because he can't pull out the bronze sword? How dare he say such questioning words to the Sword Palace Master?

"You are just a remnant soul, and not the remnant soul of the Sword Palace Master!" Yu Zimo loudly told the truth.

He has a very special physique. From the moment he approached the Sword Palace Master, he realized that this woman was not the real Sword Palace Master!

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yu Zimo's eyes, and he threw a long, sharp needle from his sleeve at the woman in front of him.

Is this person crazy... Mu Zhian's eyelids twitched slightly, but there was a look of doubt in his eyes.

The breath of the Sword Palace Master in front of him was indeed very erratic, but he, a natural spirit, was still not sure that she was not the Sword Palace Master. How did Yu Zimo judge it?

And... even if she was not the Sword Palace Master, it would be too abrupt to attack rashly.

When Mu Zhian's mind was flashing, on the other side, the Sword Palace Master had slightly sidestepped to avoid the sharp needle.

Then, under the eyes of everyone, a faint white light quietly lit up in her plump chest.

From the white light, a bronze sword that looked extremely ancient appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The appearance of this bronze sword is exactly the same as the bound bronze sword in front of the high platform!

"Two bronze swords?" Mu Zhian's eyes were filled with surprise.

How could it be possible...?

While Mu Zhian was thinking about this, the Sword Palace Master had already swung the bronze sword in her hand forward.

She was clearly in front of Yu Zimo the previous second, but the next moment, she had already appeared behind everyone.

Then, the bronze sword in the Sword Palace Master's hand turned into a light spot and drifted away.

Boom!

There was a loud bang, and no one even saw the Sword Palace Master's sword, but an amazing sound broke out in front of Yu Zimo.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-feed', placement: 'Below Article Feed', target_type: 'mix' });

Then, Yu Zimo's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

Mu Zhian's scalp was numb.

This woman is indeed strange!

In the hall, the remaining monks subconsciously took a half step back, and at this moment they all wanted to retreat.

The Sword Palace Master turned his head expressionlessly and looked at the people behind him, and slowly said: "Who is the next one?"

After this, no one responded.

With Yu Zimo's previous experience, everyone was undoubtedly much calmer than before.

This time, no one was willing to be the first to stand out.

The Master of the Sword Palace scanned the crowd and spoke slowly: "If no one responds, it will be regarded as all abstentions and will be punished by heaven."

At the end of the sentence, her emotionless eyes became colder, like an emotionless machine.

"Let's start with you." Her eyes fell on the monk who had just spoken for the second time.

The monk seemed to sense some danger and subconsciously took half a step back.

Then, he suddenly pointed in the direction of Mu Zhian and said: "The strongest person among us is right next to him. If there is to be a test, the strongest person should start!"

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Mu Zhian.

To be precise, it should be the maid in the yellow skirt next to Mu Zhian.

The Sword Palace Master's eyes also fell on Wei Mengrou. After a brief gaze, an ancient bronze sword slowly emerged from her chest.

boom!

The monk who just spoke didn't even have time to dodge before he heard a scream, and then his figure disappeared into the hall.

The Master of the Sword Palace did not even look at the second monk, his eyes fell on Wei Mengrou.

"It's your turn."

This time, no one was gloating about the misfortune. Everyone was frowning and their minds were working faster.

There is no doubt that there is definitely something wrong with the 'Palace Master of the Sword Palace' in front of them. Those who fail to pass her test will be punished... and the price of this punishment, they don't know whether they will be expelled from the Sword Palace or directly bombarded. Clean... In this case, these proud men have already retreated in their hearts.

"Or are you also giving up the test?" The Lord of the Sword Palace asked again.

Before Wei Mengrou could respond, Mu Zhian stared at the ancient bronze sword in mid-air and suddenly said: "Senior, before you accept the test, can we know why you woke up from the seal?"

The woman glanced at him indifferently and said calmly: "One of you has a cause and effect with this ancient bronze sword, so you can pull out the bronze sword that was bound in it."

Her voice was extremely calm, as if she was telling a fact, but because of the scene that just happened in front of everyone, they all didn't believe what this woman said.

However, Mu Zhian's eyes were a little more thoughtful.

If this woman had not lied, then the person who could pull out the sword should be someone who had something to do with the bronze fragment.

Except for Bai Ruoxi, who may be receiving the inheritance, among the people present, the only ones who have causal connections with the bronze fragments are him and Ye Yu.

If anything, Mu Zhian was the only person present who had something to do with the bronze sword.

"Let me give it a try." Mu Zhian said.

Rather than letting Wei Mengrou take this risk, it would be safer for him to do it.

After all, even if he failed, he still had Lin Ling's words left on him. This suspected remnant soul left by the master of the Sword Palace could not directly kill him with the first blow.

The Master of the Sword Palace did not stop him, but took half a step back to give Mu Zhian space to take the stage.

Several monks on the side looked at Mu Zhian involuntarily, with somewhat complicated emotions in their eyes.

They didn't hope that Mu Zhian could pull out the sword, but they also hoped that he could pull out the ancient bronze sword. After all, only then would the test be over.

But if Mu Zhian really pulled out the ancient bronze sword, wouldn't this ancient bronze sword become Mu Zhian's?

With such complicated emotions, everyone's eyes were fixed on the young man who flew to the high platform.

Wei Mengrou clenched her fists hidden in her sleeves subconsciously, her eyes fixed on Mu Zhian. If he failed to draw the sword later, she would immediately take action and send Mu Zhian out of the hall at all costs.

Ye Yu also stared at this scene and sneered secretly.

idiot.

The teacher had just told him that the woman in the main hall was not the real Master of the Sword Palace, but another version of herself that she had killed in the past. It's good that Mu Zhian pulled out the sword. If he couldn't pull it out...then prepare to die.

As if aware of Wei Mengrou's worried gaze, Mu Zhian turned around and gave her a reassuring smile.

Then, his eyes fell on the ancient bronze sword bound by chains in front of him.

After a brief clue, Mu Zhian's eyes quickly became more dignified.

This chain is actually a formation.

And this formation came from all directions of the hall, and it happened to bind the ancient bronze sword within it. As long as the seals on the four sides of the hall were not released at the same time, the bronze sword could not be pulled out.

It's no wonder that Yu Zimo failed just now.

but……

Mu Zhian felt that he could pull it out.

Because from the moment he approached the high platform, he felt that this ancient bronze sword seemed to be calling him.

That should be the weapon spirit in the ancient bronze sword.

As for the reason... I'm afraid it's because Mu Zhian often nourished Bai Ruoxi day and night in the past, so the weapon spirit in this bronze sword also had a good impression of Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian took a shallow breath and exhaled it slowly.

Then, one hand grasped the hilt of the ancient bronze sword.

Wow...

The ancient bronze sword that had been silent suddenly reacted, and its blade began to vibrate slightly, causing a heavy sound of iron chains to be heard from the chains at the four corners of the hall.

The Master of the Sword Palace's eyes moved slightly, and for the first time there was a hint of surprise in his cold eyes as he stared at the young man in the high platform.

At this moment, several eyes were staring at Mu Zhian, not wanting him to pull out the bronze sword, but hoping that he could pull it out.

Under such a complicated human heart, the cauldron in Mu Zhian's body quietly operated, and spiritual energy slowly emanated.

He held the hilt tightly, as if he wanted to release the bronze sword that was tightly bound by the chain from the seal, and it was like pulling a sword out of a rusty scabbard.

Finally, the motionless hilt seemed to be pulled back a little, and accompanied by an extremely unpleasant sound like fingernails scratching glass.

"He pulled the sword out a little!" A monk in the audience saw the clue and whispered in disbelief.

Accompanied by another slightly harsh sound, the bronze sword was pulled out a little from the chain again, revealing a hint of its sharpness.

The Sword Palace Master's eyes flickered slightly, and his eyes were fixed on this scene.

Mu Zhian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Then he closed his eyes tightly and concentrated his spiritual energy on his whole body. At this moment, it seemed that there was only this ancient bronze sword in his world, and nothing else.

There was no doubt that the bronze sword in front of him was the third bronze fragment, so it reacted to him.

He could indeed pull out this sword.

He just needed to be fully prepared and work hard... It was not impossible to completely release it.

After a short period of preparation, Mu Zhian grasped the hilt of the bronze sword, took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy in his body burst out.

Clang!

Most of the sword body of the bronze sword appeared in everyone's vision.

Boom!

The whole hall was shaking violently at this moment. Mu Zhian did not hesitate at all, and completely freed the bronze sword from the shackles in the chains!

The edge of the bronze sword was revealed for the first time, cutting off the chains on all sides.

Then, it turned into a broken fragment and flew out, quickly attacking a certain cave, and drilled into the chest of Bai Ruoxi who was receiving the inheritance of the Sword Palace in the cave.

The three bronze fragments were pieced together to form a complete bronze sword pattern, and a faint white light emanated from Bai Ruoxi's chest.

From the white light, an ancient bronze sword silently emerged from Bai Ruoxi's lower breasts.

Then, Bai Ruoxi... No, it should be said that the real Sword Palace Master slowly opened his eyes at this time and stared at the direction where Mu Zhian was.

"Are you finally here?"

There was a hint of relief in her tone.
