"So, what should we do about the Holy Sword Temple? We don’t know what’s causing it to reject people." The Sixth Elder looked at the Sword Empress for her thoughts.
The Sword Empress shrugged, "How the hell am I supposed to know? Unless the creator of the temple is here, there’s no way we will know for sure."
"The God of Creation...? He died several eras ago, so that’s impossible."
Unbeknownst to them, the individual they were talking about was standing right behind them.
"Looks like we’ll have to shut down the Holy Sword Temple until we figure it out," said the Sword Empress.
"We’re going to have a lot of complaints."
"Fuck them." The Sword Empress calmly cursed. "If they can’t understand why we have to shut the place down, then let them go inside and experience the reason for themselves. Of course, we won’t be compensating for anything."
"And harm our reputation even more...?" The Sixth Elder shook her head.
The two of them fell silent.
"Umm..." Yuan suddenly spoke out.
"Huh? You’re still here? Get lost already," the Sword Empress said, waving him off with a dismissive gesture.
He continued, "This might sound crazy, but I’d like to enter the Holy Sword Temple."
The two ladies turned to look at him with raised eyebrows.
"Are you serious? Even after seeing everything that had happened?" The Sixth Elder remarked with a dumbfounded look on her face.
Yuan nodded, "Yes."
"Listen here, you dumb brat. The Descending Sword Pavilion’s Sect Leader only survived because he was a God Ascension Realm cultivator and could live without a physical body. If you go inside, you’ll definitely die."
"Even so, I’d like to try," Yuan said with a stubborn expression.
The Sword Empress rubbed her eyes and looked at the Sixth Elder, saying, "Can you believe this fucking idiot?"
The Sixth Elder could only shake her head in silence.
"You know what? I don’t know why you’re so eager to die, but it’s none of our business. Go ahead and enter the temple if you want." The Sword Empress said a moment later.
"Thank you." Yuan bowed to them and turned to face the temple’s entrance.
"You’re not serious, are you? Please think this through. You are one of the most talented individuals I’ve come across. It’d be a waste to die here."
While the Sword Empress couldn’t care less if Yuan died, the Sixth Elder, who’d witnessed his talents, couldn’t bear to see him die such a pointless death and decided to block his path.
"Since when were you such a busybody, Sixth Elder? Just let him die."
"You’re only saying that because you didn’t see his trial. This young man... his Enhanced Sword Aura is likely even stronger than yours," she responded.
