Inside the Immortal Reception Hall.
Gu Jian Qingshuang, Ye Dongliu, and Grandma Muhua were there.
None of the others entered this deep, secluded hall.
Outside, voices surged like a boiling cauldron. People seemed to be arguing, and quite a crowd had gathered, but it did not affect the atmosphere within the Immortal Reception Hall.
"Please, sit."
The three of them took their seats.
Opposite them sat a woman whose skin resembled rock, sharp as a blade of sword light.
Even while seated, every inch of her body was exceptionally straight.
"I never expected the 'Godslayer with One Sword' to honor us with your presence. Forgive us for failing to welcome you properly; we are ashamed," Gu Jian Qingshuang said.
"Don't mention that empty title. There's no need for pleasantries either. Just call me 'Shi Yan.'"
The woman opposite them raised her chin slightly. Her hands rested on the armrests, her legs spread apart, and her bearing was terrifying.
Clearly a woman, yet she possessed a crushing pressure that made people tremble.
Her gaze pierced straight through one's state of mind.
Shi Yan. It was a simple, rash, unyielding name, yet it belonged to a woman.
As the saying went, a person lived up to their name. Everything about her made people feel one word: "hard."
Within the Divine Sword Sect, ranked fifth on the Heaven Rankings, she was a resounding figure—the junior sister of the sect master, the Beidou Sword Venerable.
For a woman to bear the title "Godslayer" showed just how fierce she was.
In people's eyes, she was the Beidou Sword Venerable's weapon—whoever he pointed at, the Godslayer killed.
Godslayer with One Sword!
She never needed a second sword strike to kill.
The atmosphere turned icy!
The rock-hard woman raised her head to stare at Gu Jian Qingshuang
