Chapter 390: Do You Have Any Shame?
“Another elder has arrived, and it is Elder Yu from the Twenty-Eighth Sword Peak!”
On the square, a group of disciples had already been kneeling and bowing. At this moment, they trembled even more as another elder made his appearance. It seemed he too had come because of Su Yi, the outer disciple.
The mere presence of Su Yi had managed to draw two elders!
“Well done, young man. You have courage. I admire that. Come with me to the Twenty-Eighth Sword Peak. Once we get there, not even the Court of Justice would dare to falsely accuse or harm you.”
Elder Yu Changqing fixed his gaze on Su Yi, his eyes gleaming brightly, as though attempting to see through him, from head to toe, inside and out.
“Yu Changqing, how shameless you are! Does the Court of Justice really have the audacity to unjustly charge disciples of the Nineteenth Sword Peak without any proof or reason?”
A new voice suddenly echoed, and another figure materialized. This person appeared to be in his sixties, with black long hair neatly tied into a bun. Not a single strand was out of place. His deep brown eyes were profound and seemed to study Su Yi carefully.
“Is it that my 17th Sword Peak is exempt from this?”
“Whew…”
The sound grew nearer, accompanied by the noise of two rushing winds breaking through the air, and within moments, two figures landed on the square almost simultaneously.
They touched down, causing a slight tremor in the surrounding space.
A man and a woman had arrived. The man seemed to be in his sixties or seventies, sporting a goatee, long gray hair, and sunken brown eyes.
The woman was an elderly lady with a kind, weathered face. Her once-black hair was mostly gray now, with some silver strands scattered among them, partially covering her face, giving her a mysterious aura. Despite this, her complexion remained strikingly healthy and radiant.
“Elder Lv Baimai from the 19th Sword Peak, Elder Mei Huaye from the 17th Sword Peak, and Elder Duan Yuerong from the 9th Sword Peak.”
“Three more elders have arrived!”
“Respect to you, venerable elders!”
“It is an honor to meet you, esteemed elders!”
Everyone around trembled in shock as three more elders appeared. What kind of day was this turning out to be?
Elder Shangguan Hu’s expression was grim. He felt a sense of regret in his heart, wishing he hadn’t hesitated even for a moment and had taken Su Yi away the first chance he got. Now, he feared things would escalate into something serious.
“Please rise, no need for formalities.”
Elder Duan Yuerong gracefully waved her sleeve, signaling the disciples to stand. However, her gaze remained fixed on Su Yi, her compassionate expression unwavering.
“The Yuan Emperor’s realm! All of them are venerable elders!”
At that moment, several powerful cultivators from the Yuan Emperor Realm appeared. All of them were elders of the Divine Sword School, leaving Su Yi slightly stunned. Hadn’t he only been dealing with the disciples of the Fifteenth Sword Peak? How had he attracted so many elders?
“Your name is Su Yi, right? Come with me to the Seventeenth Sword Peak. I will offer you full protection, and I’m unafraid of the Court of Justice!”
Elder Mei Huaye appeared, his gaze sweeping across the area before reaching out to take hold of Su Yi.
“Elder Mei, please do not intimidate this outer disciple. Why should he go to your Seventeenth Sword Peak?”
“No, going to my Nineteenth Sword Peak is the proper choice!”
“Su Yi should come to my Twenty-Eighth Sword Peak!”
“Esteemed elders, you must remember your positions. The Court of Justice is in charge here, and you should not interfere with its duties.”
As Elder Mei Huaye made his move, almost simultaneously, several other elders, including Yu Changqing and Lv Baimai, spoke up. Figures of light began descending upon Su Yi one after another.
Initially, multiple hands enveloped Su Yi in a coordinated manner, but soon they collided with one another.
“Chirala…”
The radiant light dazzled the onlookers, and the surrounding space trembled uncontrollably.
Everything happened too quickly. Figures in the center of the square intertwined in different directions, and soon the space itself seemed to be in chaos, with blinding rays of light flashing everywhere.
Though no energy leaked out, the void surrounding Su Yi seemed ready to collapse at any moment.
At the center of it all, Su Yi stood, feeling an overwhelming pressure capable of crushing the surrounding void. The radiant light before him was so intense that it hindered his vision.
Su Yi soon relaxed, as a figure appeared, and an invisible force settled upon him.
“Chirp chirp…”
A burst of energy dispersed into the surroundings, vanishing within a few meters without any leakage.
It seemed that these elders were working together to control everything within the vicinity without disturbing the large group of disciples watching from nearby.
Everything gradually returned to normal, and the figures of the elders each took a step back.
“Are you all right?”
A soft voice reached Su Yi’s ears, and Elder Duan Yuerong’s figure appeared before him, her gaze full of warmth and kindness.
The previous clash between several powerful cultivators in the Yuan Emperor Realm had left Su Yi shaken to his core, causing his soul to tremble.
Although it might not have seemed too chaotic from the outside, Su Yi, being at the center of it all, was the one who understood just how intense the event had been.
The actions of the elders had been controlled, but had someone been caught in the aftermath, the consequences would have been severe.
“It’s an honor to meet you, Elder.”
Su Yi came back to his senses and looked up at the elder in front of him. Her kind, compassionate face reminded him instantly of his grandmother.
“No need for formalities.”
Elder Duan Yuerong nodded with a smile, addressing Su Yi gently.
“Elder Duan, this young man is the one the Court of Justice is searching for. I must take him to the Court of Justice.”
Upon seeing this situation, Elder Shangguan Hu seemed anxious, fearing that Elder Duan Yuerong might seize the opportunity first. He immediately spoke up.
“What do you mean by the Court of Justice? Elder Shangguan, are you pretending to be unaware of the truth? Everyone knows what is going on here!”
Elder Lv Baimai shot Elder Shangguan Hu a disdainful glance and spoke in an irritated tone. He then turned his gaze to Su Yi, his striking silver eyebrows almost glowing like threads of silver, and his deep brown eyes seemed to attempt a smile as he addressed him.
“Su Yi, how about you come with me to the 19th Sword Peak?”
“Elder, I…”
Su Yi had been confused from the very beginning, unsure why Elder Lv was so insistent on taking him to the 19th Sword Peak.
“Lv Baimai, what’s so great about going to your 19th Sword Peak? It’s laughable.”
Elder Yu Changqing interrupted, and though a smile appeared on his aged face, it seemed somewhat forced. He spoke to Su Yi.
“Su Yi, you should come with me to the 28th Sword Peak. That is the right choice for you.”
“Elders, this has gone too far. Do not forget your position as elders of the Divine Sword School. As an elder of the Court of Justice, I will now take the boy to the Court of Justice. If any of you try to stop me, don’t blame me for reporting you to the headmaster!”
Elder Shangguan Hu declared. As an Elder of the Court of Justice, he held a special status. At this moment, his only hope was to take Su Yi with him. If he could take him away alone, he wouldn’t be concerned about the boy’s compliance.
