When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...
"What's your name? What's your position at Blue Hidden Divine Mountain? And which lineage do you belong to?" Lord Longhuang asked Bu Yao.
"I am Bu Yao, currently a menial servant, belonging to the Sword Shadow lineage!" Bu Yao reached out and placed her hand on Jiang Yuan's hand, indicating that he should not be nervous.
Although this was superfluous, Jiang Yuan really liked Bu Yao's behavior. At least she was serious about protecting people. Whether she was in a high position or after being demoted to a menial job, Bu Yao always stood in front of him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to have a peaceful rebirth these past five years.
"I never imagined that the Sword Hidden lineage would be so blind. With your talent, you're still just a menial servant. Is the current mountain lord's eyes just for show?" The Longhuang Mountain Lord was furious.
Bu Yao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "It's not the mountain lord's fault. It was Bu Yao who violated the rules of the sacred mountain, which is why she was demoted from a holy maiden to a menial servant!"
"What law can compare to a genius?" the Lord of Longhuang Mountain said angrily.
Jiang Yuan also turned his gaze to Bu Yao, waiting for her answer.
Bu Yao snapped out of her daze, glanced at Jiang Yuan, and then said firmly, "My husband and I have been married and have a daughter!"
"Who is he?" Lord Longhuang was puzzled, because he couldn't see through Jiang Yuan either.
"He is my husband!" Bu Yao deliberately circled back, not wanting to say that Jiang Yuan was a human or Lord Mi.
"Such a good match, yet Blue Hidden Divine Mountain still belittles you? Are they all senile? Who are the two mountain lords now?" Longhuang Mountain Lord roared.
“Tianyi of the Jianlan lineage, Zhangkun of the Jianlan lineage!” Bu Yao said truthfully.
Upon hearing the two names, the Lord of Longhuang Mountain's expression changed visibly. He said in a gloomy tone, "Both are from the Jianlan lineage?"
Bu Yao nodded.
"Well, no wonder you dared to belittle me. It turns out that Blue Hidden Divine Mountain doesn't even have a foothold for my Sword Hidden lineage!" The anger of the Longhuang Mountain Lord could no longer be suppressed.
"Very good, then you are even more obligated to complete this task!"
The Lord of Longhuang Mountain revealed a determined look in his eyes.
"Lord Longhuang Mountain, please speak frankly. If I am able, I will do my utmost to help you fulfill your last wish!" Bu Yao wanted to bow, but when she did, she accidentally raised Jiang Yuan's hand as well, making the scene awkward.
"Alright, we're from the same lineage, no need to worry about these formalities!"
Lord Longhuang waved his hand and said, "What I want you to do is very simple: take back the divine sword of our Sword Spirit Clan!"
"A divine sword?" Bu Yao looked puzzled, because she had lived in Lan Yin Divine Mountain for more than ten years and had never heard of such a thing as a divine sword.
"That's right. Do you know who the founder of Blue Hidden Divine Mountain is?" The Lord of Longhuang Mountain glanced at Bu Yao, his eyes filled with endless depth.
Without hesitation, Bu Yao replied, "They were the Lord of Guling Mountain and the Lord of Jiayu Mountain five thousand years ago!"
"Oh!"
The Lord of Longhuang Mountain chuckled self-deprecatingly, then shook his head and said, "No, the history of the sacred mountain is not just five thousand years!"
"Really?" Bu Yao seemed unaware of the situation.
Lord Longhuang put away his smile and said solemnly, "A long time ago, there were no Holy Spirit Clan and Demon Spirit Clan. There was only the Holy Demon Clan. At that time, the Three Thousand Divine Mountains suppressed a great world. Take the current Divine Kingdom for example. Back then, it wouldn't have been a problem. The true Holy Demon Clan only existed in the Three Thousand Divine Mountains, and my Blue Hidden Divine Mountain was enough to rank in the top ten among the Three Thousand Divine Mountains!"
"That was the peak of the Sword Spirit Clan, and the two founding ancestors who propelled the Sword Spirit Clan of Blue Hidden Divine Mountain to its peak were Jian Lan and Jian Yin. They were the most famous sword couple of that era!"
Bu Yao listened intently. The history of the Holy Spirit Clan had been distorted, and many people, including herself, were completely unaware of the full picture.
The Lord of Longhuang Mountain continued, "The two founding ancestors were unparalleled geniuses among the Holy Demon Clan. Jian Lan wielded the Lady's Sword, while Jian Yin wielded the Gentleman's Sword. When the two swords were combined, few could rival them."
"Ancestor Jianlan is a woman?" Bu Yao asked in surprise.
"Is it surprising?" Lord Longhuang smiled, seemingly showing great respect for the past glory of Blue Hidden Divine Mountain, hence the special expression on his face when he spoke.
"I really didn't know that Blue Hidden Divine Mountain had such a secret!" Bu Yao revealed a bitter expression. She had always thought that the founders of Blue Hidden Divine Mountain were the Lord of Gu Ling Mountain and the Lord of Jia Yu Mountain.
"The two founding ancestors ruled an era, but in the end, they both passed away due to their lifespans. From that time on, Blue Hidden Divine Mountain began to decline! Not only Blue Hidden Divine Mountain, but since the golden age of the Holy Demon Clan passed, the entire Holy Demon Clan has begun to decline. First, due to internal strife, it split into the Holy Spirit Clan and the Demon Spirit Clan. Then, the three thousand clans began to be wiped out. From three thousand to two thousand, then from two thousand to one thousand, until now, the once great Holy Demon Clan has only one hundred and eighty clans left."
Lord Longhuang sighed dejectedly. As a member of the Holy Demon Clan, he was unable to revitalize his clan, which would surely be a great regret for him.
"Lord Longhuang Mountain, what do you want us to do?" Bu Yao felt that this opportunity was extremely great.
"It's very simple. I want you to draw the Lady's Sword and the Gentleman's Sword!"
