4304 Preparing to Leave

"I'm going to announce something. Listen carefully. I'll leave the Ancient Path of Stars in three days, and the God Sealing Tablet will be cleared again to select the second Ruler to enter the Great Clan Gathering." Sitting on the throne, Jian Wushuang was expressionless as he spoke slowly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Ancient Path of Stars burst into an uproar.

it seems that Lord Alliance leader has already obtained the first spot to participate in the Great Clan Gathering!

"What? Lord Alliance leader, you're leaving the Ancient Path of Stars?"

The Investiture of the Gods will be reset to zero?!

In an instant, the entire Hall exploded like a boiler, and the sounds of discussion rose one after another.

Even the Overlord, the Nine Stars Saint Son, and the young clan leader of Moluo raised their heads to look at Jian Wushuang, their pupils contracting.

"Be quiet." Jian Wushuang pressed down with his right hand and spoke indifferently.

In an instant, the noisy hall quieted down.

Everyone forced down the words that were about to come out of their mouths and looked at Jian Wushuang with respect.

Jian Wushuang's expression was indifferent as he glanced at them one by one. Although they didn't speak, their expressions were mixed with joy and worry.

Jian Wushuang naturally understood what they were thinking and sneered in his heart. He was afraid that once he left the Ancient Path of Stars, the seemingly powerful Sword Union would collapse and return to its previous state of killing.

Jian Wushuang didn't intend to solve this problem by force. After all, the Sword Union was just a backup plan he left behind. It was just for him to unite when he faced the oppression of the major forces in the future.

Therefore, he didn't care what they did in private after he left.

In any case, some of the true experts with decent potential on the Ancient Path of Stars had already made a law oath with him.

This was something that could not be changed.

"Alright, now I want to talk about the leadership of Sword Union after I leave."

Jian Wushuang looked at the Overlord, the Nine Stars Saint Son, and the young master of the Molo tribe, Huang Mo, and said, "The Overlord, Nine Stars Saint, and Huang Mo, after I leave, the three of you will be in charge of maintaining the overall situation in Sword Union. Is there a problem?"

"Yes! We will obey the Alliance master's orders!"

The Overlord, Huang Mo, and the Nine Stars Saint all stepped forward and cupped their hands in acknowledgment.

Jian Wushuang nodded and glanced at the three of them. The Overlord and Huang Mo looked normal but solemn. One of them had been saved by Jian Wushuang, who had saved his life, and the other had chosen to submit to him, even if he had to die.

On the other hand, the Nine Stars Saint's eyes, which had his head lowered, flashed with a strange look.

Jian Wushuang took in their expressions but didn't care. He said, "As for the others, everything will be the same. There's no need to change."

After giving some other instructions, such as letting commander Mountain Shaker lead the Army on behalf of the Overlord and the other two, Jian Wushuang announced that everyone was leaving.

However, before everyone left, Jian Wushuang called out to Ruler Hao Jin, who was standing at the back row.

Jian Wushuang stepped down from the throne. At that moment, he no longer had any majestic aura. It was as if he had become the most ordinary teenager again.

"Hao Jin, do you blame me for not giving you a commander position before I left?" Jian Wushuang looked at him and smiled.

Ruler Hao Jin hurriedly explained, "Sir Blood Sword, I would never dare to think that way. Although I am slow, I understand that you are doing this because you don't want me to attract too much attention and make others jealous."

Ruler Hao Jin was the only person who addressed Jian Wushuang as Lord Blood Sword. It was as if Jian Wushuang was still the person who had led him through the Ancient Path of Stars.

"I'm relieved that you can think this way." Jian Wushuang smiled, paused, and said, "Hao Jin, I didn't place you in the higher-ups of the Sword Union because you said so. Once I leave, I'm afraid the Ancient Path of Stars will once again be in chaos. At that time, if you take the position of commander, you'll definitely be the target of everyone's focus fire. On the contrary, it's possible that you'll be killed."

After saying that, Jian Wushuang patted Ruler Hao Jin's shoulder and continued, "For us cultivators, status and position are just empty titles. You don't need to care about it. As long as you are strong enough, everything is just at your fingertips."

"Lord Blood Sword, I understand!" Ruler Hao Jin nodded heavily upon hearing this.

Jian Wushuang replied with an 'en' and took out a glass Jade bottle. He said, "Hao Jin, in this Jade bottle, there are two drops of venom that I refined from Heavenly Snake Playboy's venomous fangs. There were originally three drops, but I have other uses for the last drop, so I won't give it to you. With these two drops of poison, as long as you don't encounter an invincible Ruler, I imagine no one on the Ancient Path of Stars will be able to harm you."

"Isn't this. Little too valuable..." Ruler Hao Jin was still hesitating.

Jian Wushuang flipped his right hand again and a small black sword appeared in his hand. He said indifferently, "Hao Jin, keep this small sword well. I've specially refined this for you to defend yourself before I left. Three of my sword Qi are sealed in this small sword, and each one is stronger than the previous one. In terms of power, it's much stronger than the two drops of poison. If you use it properly, you can kill even an invincible Ruler like the Nine Stars Saint with the last sword Qi!"

After saying that, Jian Wushuang's expression gradually became serious. In the end, he said in a deep voice, "Hao Jin, you must use these five protective items with caution. Otherwise, once you use all five of them, no one will be able to save you if you provoke any other Supreme figures!"

"Yes!" Ruler Hao Jin's expression turned serious. He didn't dare to be negligent. He carefully put away the glass Jade bottle and the small black sword that Jian Wushuang had given him. Then, he nodded heavily and said, "Lord Blood Sword, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of Sword Union for you!"

Hearing this, Jian Wushuang could not help smiling and said, "As for the Sword Union, just leave it to fate, no need to worry about it. You, on the other hand, can be considered someone who has gone through thick and thin with me. The Ancient Path of Stars is filled with danger, and after I leave, the competition for the God Sealing Tablet will only become more intense and crazy. Thus, I only hope that you can protect yourself and increase your strength."

After that, Jian Wushuang did not say anything more. He smiled at him and strode away.

...

Three days later.

In the 18th city of the Ancient Path of Stars, countless people were sending him off with great respect.

Jian Wushuang was wearing a black robe, a hood, and a sandalwood sword case on his back. He left the Ancient Path of Stars step by step and disappeared from everyone's sight. It was as if the legend of the Ancient Path of Stars had finally come to an end.
