Chapter 563: Isn't It Clear Enough Yet?
Su Yi's eyes slightly narrowed in secret, it seemed that the sect leader of the Divine Sword School had begun to suspect him.
And Su Yi wasn't surprised either. After all, the person in front of him was none other than the sect leader of the mighty Divine Sword School. It wouldn't be so easy to deceive someone of such stature.
"It seems that if I don't speak up, the rewards after winning the Grand Swordsmanship Competition will have nothing to do with me," Su Yi whispered.
"The rightful rewards will certainly not exclude you, but there are certain matters that concern the entire Divine Sword School and must be handled with caution," Situ Liuyun said to Su Yi, making his words very clear.
"My background has already been explained to Elder Su. I have a relationship with a sect, but I have yet to find a proper mentor. Inside the Forest of Demons, I was severely injured, but thankfully Elder Su came to my rescue and brought me back to the Divine Sword School."
Su Yi spoke up, without much concealment. He is now the sect leader of the Divine Demonic Sect, which means he has a sect to belong to. As for having a proper mentor, even though he received guidance from a mysterious person within the mystical place in the Forest of Demons and from Elder Su, strictly speaking, he has not truly had a mentor.
Situ Liuyun looked at Su Yi, his gaze shifting, as if he was deep in thought and trying to figure out something. After a while, he finally spoke up and continued to ask Su Yi, "So, in your perspective, what place does the Divine Sword School hold for you?"
Su Yi looked up and locked eyes with Situ Liuyun, a slight smile forming on his face. He said, "Sect leader, if you allow me to be honest, could it also mean that we can now have a fair conversation?"
Situ Liuyun's eyes showed surprise, and he raised his eyebrows a little. He nodded and said, "Of course."
"May I ask the sect leader, why did you summon me today? I wonder what position the Divine Sword School has assigned me to."
"This..."
Situ Liuyun felt a bit speechless. How could he not understand the meaning behind Su Yi's words? This young child was actually challenging him. Inviting him here to have this conversation undoubtedly showed a lack of trust towards him.
"Elder Su brought you back to the Divine Sword School, and you were able to participate in the Grand Swordsmanship Competition. Now, you are a disciple of the Divine Sword School without a doubt. But there are certain matters of great importance that affect the entire Divine Sword School. Naturally, they need to be handled with caution. One day, when you reach my position and level, you will understand," Situ Liuyun said to Su Yi.
"I am now a disciple of the Divine Sword School, and I will continue to be a disciple of the Divine Sword School. My life was saved by Elder Su, and I will never forget it!" Su Yi looked at Situ Liuyun with seriousness and said.
Situ Liuyun looked at Su Yi for a moment. He could see some sincerity in Su Yi's words, which made him feel more confident. Soon, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Alright, you are a disciple of the Divine Sword School. Now, we can start having a good conversation."
With a slight pause in his speech, Situ Liuyun continued to speak to Su Yi, "I won't hide it from you. This time, if you win the Grand Swordsmanship Competition, you should rightfully receive great benefits from the Divine Sword School. However, some of the elders are concerned about your unknown background. They are afraid that there might be some problems if they trust you completely. You must understand this. So, you need to have an attitude that can make me and the Divine Sword School believe that you are truly one of us. Otherwise, those great benefits might not come to you."
"Sect leader, you're clearly threatening me."
Su Yi raised his eyebrows, not holding back. If he truly was Elder Su's disciple, then this sect leader, Situ Liuyun, would have a lower identity compared to himself.
"Isn't it clear enough?"
Situ Liuyun had a slight smile on his face. This clearly meant that he was threatening Su Yi, making it very obvious.
"You..."
Su Yi felt helpless. He never expected that even the esteemed sect leader of the Divine Sword School would resort to such tactics. If this were to spread, it was unlikely that anyone would believe it.
"What kind of attitude does the Divine Sword School really need from me?
Su Yi took a deep breath quietly and felt a sense of relief. It seemed that the sect leader of the Divine Sword School was prepared today. So, Su Yi decided to face the situation bravely and stand his ground.
"In the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, you plundered so many disciples' space bags, isn't that true?"
When Situ Liuyun saw that Su Yi was feeling a bit defeated, he seemed quite pleased. It felt like he was happy because this young boy wanted the greatest benefits from the Divine Sword School. In order to achieve that, he had to be honest and obedient, without fearing any resistance.
"It's not stealing, just that the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords is full of danger everywhere. I'm just helping everyone take care of the space bag. There aren't really any rules in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, and I haven't broken any of them. Besides, I didn't do it alone."
Su Yi said calmly, emphasizing that he had not broken any rules. Furthermore, he pointed out that Situ Muyang was also involved in these actions.
Situ Liuyun furrowed his brow slightly. This young boy was clearly trying to intimidate him. Situ Muyang was involved too, and they couldn't find any rule that this young boy had broken.
"I heard that you have control over the creatures in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. Do you know how to control demon beasts?"
Situ Liuyun looked at Su Yi with a serious gaze, and this was an important moment.
If Su Yi truly has the ability and skill to control demon beasts, then the significance of this would be extraordinary.
Based on all the information they received, it was clear that Su Yi really did possess the ability and skill in this aspect.
"I only know a little bit of animal language, and the way I practice my special techniques seems to be quite similar to the power of the demons. That's why I can make some scary demon beasts become friendly towards me, but I can't really control them."
Su Yi remained calm and didn't show any signs on his face. The fact that he could use the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique to subdue demon beasts, as well as control them using the mysterious space, was something he couldn't reveal to anyone, not even a little bit.
"Is it like this..."
Situ Liuyun's eyes flickered, partially believing and partially doubting, but it was true that he knew quite a few cultivation methods that were very similar to the power of the demons.
The demon race is powerful. Many powerful ancestors and ancient warriors created formidable cultivation methods using the powers of the demons. These methods were closely linked to the demon race and could even suppress regular demon beasts.
Just like the Fuyao Sect in Youzhou, which has gained fame across the continent for its ability to suppress demon beasts, it stands tall and unwavering in Youzhou.
"The exit inside the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords has led to other realms, it is said that you were also there, did you discover anything? And when the exit to the Grand Swordsmanship Competition opened, there were divine beings undergoing a tribulation. You were closest to it at that time, did you notice anything?"
Situ Liuyun continued to ask, his gaze fixed on Su Yi, as if he wanted to understand everything about him.
"That space opened up, and many disciples including Situ Muyang and I went in. It was extremely dangerous, and we almost got injured. However, we also found many medicinal herbs. On the day the exit opened, we were chased by those direct disciples. Suddenly, there were flashes of lightning and thunder, and the sky and earth changed. We took this opportunity to escape, otherwise it would have been troublesome. Later, we learned that it was a heavenly and earthly spirit crossing the calamity. Besides that, we didn't discover anything else..."
Su Yi shook his head and even showed a hint of surprise, but he didn't show any other signs on his face.
As Situ Liuyun asked in this way, it meant that he was a loyal friend, showing no signs of revealing himself.
