Beauty and the Bodyguard

10181 Chapter 10180-

After a pause, Xu Taiyi asked carefully,””What about the remaining eight people?”

“This is the name list.”

A name list appeared in front of Lin Yi and Xu Taiyi as the sword Saint spoke.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. He’d done his homework before coming here. After all, the voidwalkers and priests had been rivals for so many years, and their intelligence network was one of the best in the sea.

The names that appeared on the screen were all disciples of the Sword Pavilion.

However, even though they shared a common identity, they had all sorts of backgrounds.

There were peerless geniuses from the royal families of the four Seas, low-level cultivators from humble families, Paladins from the four Seas who helped the weak, and vicious criminals who had laid down their butcher knives.

There were beautiful courtesans, ambitious scholars, and fierce generals on the battlefields.

Other than that, he also saw Wei Yu ‘er’s name.

Could a sword shadow also inherit the rules of the sword?

Lin Yi couldn’t help but be suspicious. Shadow Sword wasn’t a normal clone, especially for someone like Wei Yu ‘er. Theoretically speaking, it shouldn’t be a problem for her to be a completely independent body.

But in the end, it was not a normal life.

Strictly speaking, she was actually a body of energy that had been given Wei Yu ‘er’s memories.

It was obvious that there was something wrong with an energy body inheriting the rule of the sword, which was an even greater power. However, since the sword Saint had made such an arrangement, he must have had his own deep meaning.

For a moment, Lin Yi even suspected that this was the sword saint’s ultimate goal!

Whether it was him or the other eight participants, including Xu Taiyi, the purpose of their existence was only to accompany Wei Yu ‘er. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for the sword Sage to go through so much trouble to come up with this.

Obviously, Lin Yi wasn’t the only one who had such doubts. Xu Taiyi, who had just been exposed, was also hesitant to speak.

“Junior Sister Wei, she …”

Before Xu Taiyi could finish his sentence, the sword Saint closed his eyes tiredly.”Go and inform them. Tomorrow at noon, the sword tomb will be opened.”

“Yes.”

Xu Taiyi had no choice but to leave with Lin Yi.

When the news spread, the entire sword Pavilion was in an uproar.

So many disciples of the Sword Garret had come for the inheritance of the rules of sword. The difference was that some people knew that their hope was slim and laid down relatively calmly, while some people thought highly of themselves and always felt that they were the chosen one.

Some were happy, while others were sad.

The chosen ones were naturally overjoyed. No matter how calm they pretended to be, they could not hide their excitement. As for those who were full of confidence but were not on the list, they immediately broke through their defenses and lost their composure. Some even cursed at the injustice!

A Sword saint’s Supreme status in the sword Pavilion was almost equivalent to the sea god’s status in the sea God’s temple. Usually, no disciples would show him any disrespect, but once discovered, he would be spurned by all the disciples in the sword Pavilion.

However, none of the other disciples of the Sword Garret stood up to stop them today.

There was no other reason. There were many people who had their defenses broken.

If the name list was filled with people like Xu Taiyi, who was widely recognized as a popular candidate, then it would be fine. After all, strength spoke for itself. Even if the others were not convinced, they could only hold it in. Who asked you to not have the strength?

In this kind of matter, weakness was the original sin.

But the problem was that apart from Xu Taiyi and a few others whose strength was not disputable, the others were far from the expected standard.

Most of them were not even at the level of the average strength of the sword Garret, and they were just cannon fodder.

How could someone like him enter the ten-person list and get involved in the rules of the sword?

For a time, the sword Pavilion was filled with complaints, and dissatisfaction and anger were rapidly accumulating.

However, in the face of this situation, the sword Saint had no intention of coming forward to appease them. He chose to ignore the resentment of the disciples of the Sword Pavilion.

Very quickly, another new argument was spreading.

“The cannon fodders in the list of ten are destined to be mere sidekicks. Master’s intention is probably to make them the stepping stones of someone!”

When these words came out, everyone deeply agreed.

The sword Saint still ignored him.

Lin Yi didn’t comment on that.

At the level of a Sword Saint, he didn’t need to use such underhanded tricks to do anything. If he really wanted to choose someone, he could directly make a decision with one word.

Since this list was specially arranged, there must be some internal logic.

At least one thing was certain. The ten people on this list should theoretically have the possibility of obtaining the inheritance of the rules of sword.

The strength of an individual might not play a decisive role in the inheritance selection this time!

Strictly speaking, Lin Yi was the one who stood out the most in this list.

After all, compared to the other nine people, he was the only outsider. He had never had any interactions with the sword Saint before. No matter how he looked at it, it was a little strange that he was suddenly invited.

The entire sword Pavilion was unhappy with this.

An angry swordsman came to the door in public.””Fight with me. If you lose, you can withdraw from the selection. The inheritance of the sword Pavilion will not be touched by an outsider like you!”

“What if I win?” Lin Yi asked.

“If you win, I’ll even give you my life.”

The other party was indeed the sword keeper’s usual style, directly drawing his sword and starting a fight without a word of nonsense.

However, before his sword could even land, Lin Yi’s Dragon Claw had already pierced through his chest, killing him.

The whole place was dead silent.

There were a lot of people who wanted to make a move on Lin Yi. After all, no matter how weak the others were, they were still disciples of the Sword Pavilion, and killing each other was a taboo in the sword Pavilion.

On the contrary, if they could step on Lin Yi’s head to get to the top, even the sword Saint wouldn’t stop them. Instead, he would admire them even more!

Unfortunately, reality was cruel.

To be precise, it was brutal.

No one thought that Lin Yi, a golden class early phase peak venerable, would have such terrifying strength. The sword guard, who was one of the strongest among them, was killed in an instant.

He had never thought that he would actually dare to kill in public!

Lin Yi looked at the disciples who were leaving with complicated expressions and raised his eyes casually,””Do you all think that the sword Pavilion is so powerful that I, an outsider, have to lie down even if I’m a dragon?

Are all sword guardians so naive?”

The sword Pavilion was speechless.

Lin Yi smiled nonchalantly,”if any of you are like him, ready to bet your life on it, I’ll welcome you at any time. Maybe I’m just a paper tiger, and you guys will win the next bet, right?”
