The two who had appeared just now were genuine Heavenly Demon Kings. Xie Jingxin had been able to take part in a battle between Demon Kings, displaying strength every bit equal to the legends of her severing a Demon King's arm.
"Sorry for the trouble, Sister Jingxin." Zhao Lian suddenly looked apologetic.
Confusion flickered in Xie Jingxin's eyes, and at last, she spoke:
"What trouble?"
Ever since the [Nether Annihilation Heaven Palace] had projected itself here, Zhao Lian had remained hidden in the White Residence, never coming out from beginning to end. How had she caused her any trouble?
Zhao Lian said, "The Seventh Sun-Eroding Demon King's sword belonged to this princess."
That sword resembled Xie Jingxin's because she had actually modeled it after Xie Jingxin's Five-Foot Steel Sword. As a princess who had grown up hearing legends of the Sword Saint, she naturally admired Xie Jingxin greatly. Having a replica of the Sword Saint's sword forged was perfectly normal.

"Oh. It's fine."
Xie Jingxin's expression did not change in the slightest, and she did not blame Zhao Lian for it.
Even without Zhao Lian, White Tree City still had fine swords, and the Seventh Sun-Eroding Demon King could have used another. Even if there truly had been no sword available, one must not forget that the Seventh Sun-Eroding Demon King still had one hanging at his waist.
As the Sword Saint, even though that sword had never left its sheath, she could sense the power and killing force contained within it.
If the Seventh Sun-Eroding Demon King had used his own sword rather than Zhao Lian's, there was no telling whether she would still have been standing
