If the Sword Guardians refused to recognize Jun Chen as the Sword Master, Jun Chen would have no way of proving that the Xuanyuan Sword had chosen him as its master. If people simply relied on the witness of various factions to claim the Xuanyuan Sword recognized Jun Chen as its master just because he pulled it out of the rock wall, frankly, that would be a bit far-fetched. How many people even attempted to pull the sword that night? You could count them on one hand. Out of Huaxia's one point four billion people, how many had yet to try? How could anyone definitively and with absolute certainty say that no one else could pull the Xuanyuan Sword out besides Jun Chen?
Therefore, at a time like this, the recognition of the Sword Guardians was tantamount to official certification, capable of resolving a great deal of unnecessary trouble.
If the other party rescued Xuanyuan Wuya and the other three, and then announced to the outside world that someone else was the Sword Master chosen by the Xuanyuan Sword, and that Jun Chen was not, would anyone believe it? Assuredly, some people would. Those with ulterior motives would believe it, and they would even help spread the word far and wide.
