Everyone who saw this scene was slightly stunned. They did not understand why Jessica would act so respectfully and seriously toward a longsword, to the extent of even praying and bowing to it.
Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, a soft sound rang out from the longsword. The silver longsword on the ground moved by itself. Without any signs of external forces, it started to move slowly, coming out from its sheath and revealing a hint of silver light.
Qin Wang's eyes narrowed slightly as he threw a glance toward the longsword in surprise and doubt. However, he could not feel any hint of extraordinary powers coming from the longsword.
This was how things were. The longsword was one that Fang Xingjian always had with him, the Panwei Sword—one of the four Divine Longswords.
The Panwei Sword had been modified from the Mountainous Sea Dynasty's Panwu Heavenly Raiment. After that, Fang Xingjian channeled in his Light Pursuit sword intent. It had the strongest foundation out of the four Divine Longswords.
Thereafter, he used the Heaven-Connecting Upper Extremity Sword Physique to reforge the sword, allowing it to have an almost indestructible shell. It could also be said to be the strongest sword in the world.
However, it had not been moved by the ring's energy. It was no wonder that Qin Wang and the others could not sense how powerful it was.
Seeing the longsword moving out from the sheath slowly without displaying any other abnormalities, the Gray Army's Major General Odom said coldly, "Putting up a farce. The White Army wants to use this lousy sword to secure the Book of Wisdom? What kind of joke is this?"
The Gray Army's Major General, McGraw, added, "This is an important conference between the White, Yellow, Black, and Gray Armies with regard to the jurisdiction of the Book of Wisdom. However, the White Army doesn't wish to hand over the page of the Book of Wisdom and is thinking of keeping it. This doesn't seem right."
Everyone started to chip in, one after another. More and more people stepped out to condemn the White Army and Jessica.
"That's right. The White Army isn't following the rules by doing this."
"The reason that a conference would be held to discuss the jurisdiction of each page of the Book of Wisdom is so that there would be fewer conflicts and Earth's safety would be secured. However, the White Army is now trying to keep the page to themselves just because of their own selfishness. What is this?"
"The White Army must hand over the Book of Wisdom. Otherwise, you'll be considered to be making enemies out of the other 12 armies."
"You guys are destroying Earth's peace. I strongly request the White Army's new commander to come forward and apologize."
"Right now, Lord Grade is feeling extremely fatigued from fighting the negative emotions in his mind and trying to stop his powers from destroying Earth. He has given up his entire life, and the Book of Wisdom is the only thing that can help him now. Yet, to think that you guys want to keep it for yourself... ? What are your motives behind this?"
All sorts of verbal attacks lashed out like a violent storm. Jessica was the only one who withstood all of these quietly, just like a small boat in the face of a great tsunami.
Although the countless audiences in front of their televisions felt some pity toward this weak young lady, they felt the same as what the other people were criticizing. In their opinion, the White Army's refusal to hand over the Book of Wisdom had destroyed the stability and unity on Earth.
Qin Wang, Grade, and the other armies' commanders watched on silently. They were not expecting Jessica to show any reaction. Instead, they were just waiting for the White Army's reaction.
Qin Wang's gaze became increasingly chilly, and he smiled coldly inwardly. 'White Army, are you guys going to just watch on like this? Are you going to act so shamelessly?'
Jessica was feeling increasingly nervous. Although she held great trust toward Fang Xingjian's capabilities like all the other members of the White Army, she was also worried about whether this longsword that Fang Xingjian had casually passed to her would be able to protect her before so many important characters from the other armies.
Just then, the spectators present were no longer satisfied with verbal criticisms. A Gray Army's officer-level warrior grabbed out with one hand, turning gray energy into a hand that was the size of a small car and attempting to seize Jessica.
"Since the White Army is acting so imperviously, then we'll arrest you and bring you to the Sacred White Crevice to ask for the page of the Book of Wisdom ourselves!"
Just as the gray hand was about to grab Jessica, the longsword that had been lying silently on the ground suddenly moved and floated up into the air, putting up a block before Jessica.
At the next moment, silver sword light was unleashed, and a stream of sword light pierced through the air, crushing the gray palm.
The sword light did not stop. Instead, it continued slashing out. The Gray Warrior, who had made a move from the distance, cried out agonizingly. His body was slashed repeatedly for a moment as he fell to the ground, covered in blood.
Everyone watched this scene in great astonishment like they had not expected the other party to deal a member of the Gray Army with such serious injuries.
At the sight of this, the Gray Army's Major General McGraw frowned in great fury."To think that you'd dare to commit such violent acts when there are so many members of the upper echelon from the various armies present? Is the White Army really going to become enemies with the remaining 12 armies?"
Jessica lowered her head silently as her entire body was encompassed by the silver sword light.
"We won't hand over the page of the Book of Wisdom. If you wish to get it, come and get it yourself. We'll kill whoever dares to make a move."
"You don't know what's good for you." McGraw snorted coldly, and gray light burst out. The streams of gray light turned into many light swords that pierced out toward Jessica like a meteor shower.
A myriad of gray light swords shot out, and the Panwei Sword trembled slightly. A ringing sound came out from it, and a sword light shot out from the Panwei Sword's body. In that instant, the myriad of light swords shattered, and the sword light swept through McGraw's body, slashing his body at the waist.
Pffft! McGraw's upper body fell onto the ground, and blood gushed out like a spring, splattering to a height of over three meters.
The eyes of all the Gray Army's warriors present turned red like blood was going to flow out from their eyes.
How long had it been? Ever since the One-Three Agreement was set up, how long had it been since there was a life-or-death conflict between the 13 armies? Although there was the occasional fight and conflict, there had not been any deaths occurring under the suppression of the 13 commanders.
Yet now, to think that someone would dare to kill a Major General from the Gray Army before several billions of people on Earth... How could the Gray Army not be enraged?
The Witch of Trepidation was also very shocked. 'These people from the White Army are too bold. Have they gone crazy?' She was now looking at Jessica with a gaze filled with pity.
'This woman is dead meat. I wonder how the Gray Army will execute her. '
"What audacity, what great audacity." The eyes of Hui He, the Gray Army's leader who was at the highest floor of the Heaven-Connecting Tower, were filled with great fury."This woman must die."
Concurrently, before Hui He gave any orders, all the Gray Army's warriors present at the scene unleashed the gray energy from their rings. They turned the energy into all sorts of guns, blades, huge hands, wild beasts, and other forms—attacking means that they were familiar with—and sent them smashing toward Jessica.
