"The door is opening...?" The Sixth Elder mumbled.
However, she didn’t think it had anything to do with Yuan and figured it was just a coincidence—that the person inside was finished with their training.
In the very next moment, the Sixth Elder watched as someone emerged from the Holy Sword Temple—no, they were launched out, as if forcefully ejected.
"What the...?"
The Sixth Elder followed the figure flying through the air with wide eyes.
"Fuck!" the individual shouted as they steadied themselves after being thrown from the Holy Sword Temple.
Once Yuan got a clear look at her, he saw an extraordinarily beautiful woman with shimmering silver hair and radiant jade-green eyes.
Then, she exclaimed in a loud voice, "What the fuck was that about?!"
"Senior..." The Sixth Elder didn’t understand where the woman’s anger came from. It was not uncommon for people to exit the Holy Sword Temple in ridiculous fashions, and she’d seen it many times.
"Th-that doesn’t count!" the woman suddenly said.
"Excuse me...?"
"I said that doesn’t count! I was forcefully ejected from the Holy Sword Temple, so I didn’t come out on my own free will! I’m going back inside!"
"W-Wait! Even if you’re the Sword Empress, you cannot—"
"Shut up! I just told you that I was forcefully removed!" said the woman, who turned out to be a Sword Emperor—a Sword Empress since she was female.
Even after one learns Supreme Sword Aura and becomes a Sword Emperor, the Holy Sword Temple remains an excellent training ground to further improve their Supreme Sword Aura, hence why Sword Emperors continue to return to the place even after they achieve their title.
"But that’s not possible! The Holy Sword Temple doesn’t even have such a function! We’ve been managing the Holy Sword Temple for several eras now, but the only people it has ejected are those who have become corpses! You should know that since you’re also part of our Holy Sword Clan!" The Sixth Elder exclaimed.
Surprisingly, the silver-haired also belonged to the Holy Sword Temple.
’She’s one of the three Sword Emperors in the Holy Sword Clan?’ Yuan thought to himself as he watched the situation unfold.
"I know, but I am telling you that’s what happened! Why would I lie about this? It’s not like this is my first time entering the temple!" said the Sword Empress.
The Sixth Elder was left speechless, but she couldn’t imagine the Sword Empress lying about such a thing, either.
"Unfortunately, regardless of the circumstances, once you leave the Holy Sword Temple, you are not allowed to enter again until your next turn," she said a moment later.
"Son of a bitch!" The Sword Empress cursed again. "I was so close to reaching the next level of Supreme Sword Aura, too!"
The Sword Empress suddenly snapped her head at Yuan and shouted, "What the fuck are you looking at, huh?!"
"Senior, let’s not take your anger out on a junior... Your reputation is already in the gutters because of your foul mouth," the Sixth Elder said as she shook her head.
"That’s bullshit! He was staring at me so intensely, so I told him off!"
Yuan couldn’t deny that he had been staring at her, though it was because of her potty mouth that was so out of place for someone of her stature and graceful appearance.
"I apologize. I didn’t mean to stare." Yuan apologized.
The Sword Empress suddenly narrowed her eyes and asked, "You... have we met before?"
"No, I don’t think so."
