Ye Xiao had no idea how long it has been since he left the Heavens, but he knew that at least a few million years has passed. At the same time, he also knew Heavens was destroyed.
Waves of emotion filled with pain attacked his heart, causing Ye Xiao’s body to tremble. He was so emotional that speaking even a single word became extremely difficult. He did not ask a second question and disappeared.
As for where he has gone, no one has an idea.
Emperor Star Forest, Xu Lingzi, and others were all stunned. It is because they did not sense how Ye Xiao disappeared. Ye Xiao was in front of them and then disappeared in an instant. They also released their Divine Sense and enveloped the entire Land of Morning Stars, but failed to find even a single trace of Ye Xiao. It was as if Ye Xiao had completely vanished from the surface of this land.
They could only sigh in marvel and became more curious about Ye Xiao. However, since Ye Xiao was not here, they could do nothing but focus on what was in front of them.
“Little girl, tell me, will you become my disciple? As long as you become my disciple, I guarantee I will help you become strong enough to leave the Land of Morning Stars and go adventuring on other lands. At the same time, as my disciple, you could also become Empress of Morning Stars, people of Morning Stars worship you, call you sword saint, and do anything as long as it is something you want.”
“Now tell me, what is your answer?”
Emperor Star Forest darted a deep look at Gu Xingyue and asked. He was very confident in himself and thought that as long as she is not a fool or a crazy person, she will definitely not reject his offer.
As for Lin Hao, this master, Emperor Star Forest did not think highly of him.
Yes, Lin Hao does have some ability to be able to withstand the pressure brought by his aura, but it doesn’t mean he could enter his eyes. He was not qualified to become Gu Xingyue’s master.
After all, Gu Xingyue is someone who was able to comprehend a sword skill from Divine Sword Boulder, something that even he failed to do after trying hundreds of times.
What he wanted to accept a disciple who could comprehend the sword skill hidden in sword marks on the Divine Sword Boulder so that he could make that disciple give him that skill later on.
His thoughts were very simple before, he wanted to use the person for his own benefit as long as that person comprehends the skill from Divine Sword Boulder. But when that really happened, he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to nurture Gu Xingyue.
But, of course, there seemed to be more in his mind.
“I’m sorry, I already have a master. I will never accept another master in life.” Gu Xingyue replied without batting an eye. As for Emperor Star Forest’s promise, she snorted in her heart.
How could someone replace her master?
Although her master is only a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior, his strength is far superior. Her master is not even afraid of Major Saints.
Not to mention, her master’s skills are unfathomable. His swordsmanship, his connection with the sword, his heart for the sword, and his way of the sword is very unique and filled with boundless profoundness. She has never seen another person like her master.
She could still remember what happened back then before coming to the Land of Morning Stars. That was the first time her master removed the white clothes wrapping the God Slaying Sword and slashed out.
The scene after that was memorable and hard to forget. She could still remember and even feel the terror of that sword strike. The enemy’s Dragonskin Flyingship was cut into tens of thousands of pieces along with many Minor Saints and Major Saints. But that was not the end, even the Void itself was shredded into pieces.
It was at that moment they saw a Land from one of the cuts in the void. It was through that gap in the void they came to the Land of Morning Stars and got to learn many things here.
She believed there is no other warrior who can do what her master did with a sword. Most importantly, it was her master who saved her from a group of Heavenly Demons when she was only ten years old. Her parents were powerful people but unfortunately, just like other wanderers, they were also wandering in the Void of Chaos.
On an unfortunate day, her parents encountered Heavenly Demons and died. If not for Lin Hao who appeared in time, she would have died too.
From that day, Lin Hao took her in and started teaching her cultivation. He saw her talent in swords was amazing, so he taught her everything about the way of swords. He never hide anything and told her everything she wanted to know about cultivation and sword. He even gave her all his resources for cultivation so that she can grow stronger.
And now, six years has passed.
To Gu Xingyue, Lin Hao was her everything. No one can replace Lin Hao. Lin Hao was not only her master but also her father. How can she betray Lin Hao’s trust and the sacrifices he had given for her?
Even if it is the King of Chaos himself offering her, she will still choose to stay with her master instead of ruling the Chaos.
She is Gu Xingyue, Lin Hao’s disciple, and she will always be.
“What?” Emperor Star Forest never expected Gu Xingyue to reject him.
Who is he?
He is Emperor Star Forest. He is a legend in the Land of Morning Stars. How could someone reject him? And that is just for a mere Chaos Spirit Realm warrior.
“Are you sure?” Emperor Star Forest asked again, but this time, his voice was cold and his eyes were flashing with cold glint.
When Gu Xingyue rejected him, he felt she has humiliated him. He, a Nine Vast Origin Sea Realm warrior, was rejected by a mere Chaos Dust Realm warrior.
He could not accept this result.
Be it the Land of Morning Stars or the Land of Blue Valley, as long as he opens his mouth, even Chaos Overlord Saints would fight to the death among themselves in order to become his disciple. But now, he was rejected by a mere Chaos Dust Realm warrior.
A terrifying aura burst out of his body and this time, he did not suppress his aura at all.
But surprisingly, nothing happened to the Land of Morning Stars and even Lin Hao and Gu Xingyue did not feel anything.
Why you ask?
It is because the moment Gu Xingyue rejected Emperor Star Forest, a wide smile appeared on Xu Lingzi’s face. She nodded her head in satisfaction.
At the same time, she seems to understand Emperor Star Forest’s character the best. She knew Emperor Star Forest will not be able to endure a rejection and will be furious.
That is why, she immediately created an energy field, surrounding everyone from the Fragrant Peach Fairyland, Emperor Star Forest, Lin Hao, and Gu Xingyue.
Who is she?
She is an Origin Fusion Sovereign Realm warrior.
Under her protection, how can a Nine Vast Origin Sea Realm warrior harm anyone?
It is under her protection, no harm was dealt to the Land of Morning Stars or anyone else. Otherwise, the core of this Land would have shaken under the mountainous pressure being discharged in the form of energy from Emperor Star Forest.
“Xu Lingzi…”
Emperor Star Forest seemed to have realized something and turned at Xu Lingzi furiously, his eyes red in anger.
He felt humiliated when Gu Xingyue rejected him, but this was enough to anger him this much. He was angered by the thought of losing out. He felt Gu Xingyue took advantage of him.
His condition was clear.
He would accept anyone as his disciple as long as they could comprehend the sword skill from the Divine Sword Boulder.
Gu Xingyue comprehended the sword skill, but when he wanted her to become his disciple, she rejected him.
Doesn’t it mean he lost the sword skill as well that he wanted badly?
That’s why, he wanted to forcefully suppress Gu Xingyue and her willingly hand over the sword skill. After that, he will kill her for rejecting his offer.
But Xu Lingzi interfered in time and stopped him. He could not do anything to a mere Chaos Dust Realm warrior even as a Nine Vast Origin Sea Realm warrior.
This fueled his anger, causing the current reaction.
“Humph!”
Xu Lingzi snorted coldly and Emperor Star Forest’s expression changed immediately. He felt like the world was on his back as he endured the invisible pressure from Xu Lingzi’s aura. Blood flowed out from his mouth and dripped on the ground. .
“Who do you think you are? Are you even qualified to call my name?” Xu Lingzi snorted, her eyes flashing with a cold glint.
