Chapter 391: Hidden Thoughts
“Shangguan Hu, stop using the Court of Justice’s name to intimidate me. Do you think we don’t understand your intentions with this kid?”
Elder Mei Huaye’s voice was low and his eight-character mustache twitched as his lips moved. His brown eyes were deeply set in their sockets, locking onto Elder Shangguan Hu.
“I suggest we approach the sect leader. Let him decide if this disciple is guilty or not, and whether the Court of Justice is necessary.”
Elder Duan Yuerong spoke thoughtfully.
“Let the leader decide!”
Elder Shangguan Hu’s eyes flickered, and his sharp, obsidian-like gaze appeared to shift. His mind was clearly working through something.
“Very well, let’s go to the leader.”
Elders Yu Changqing, Lv Baimai, and Mei Huaye each nodded, lost in their own thoughts. In their intense gazes, calculations were silently being made.
“Su Yi, accompany me to meet the sect leader. If he accuses you of anything, just tell him you’ve become my direct disciple, and I will take full responsibility.”
Suddenly, Elder Duan Yuerong’s voice entered Su Yi’s ears as though it was a sound transmission, audible only to him.
Su Yi was momentarily stunned, his eyes betraying his surprise. He never anticipated that Elder Duan Yuerong, who was beside him, wanted to take him as her disciple.
“Su Yi, if the sect leader questions you later, simply tell him that you’ve become my direct disciple under the 28th Sword Peak. I will take you in.”
“Su Yi, become my disciple. A few days ago, I obtained a Dao-level treasure sword. Once you join me, this sword will belong to you in the future!”
“Su Yi, become my disciple at the 19th peak. The sect leader will not hold this against you. I have just acquired a ‘Mysterious True Pill,’ which, when consumed, will lay a solid foundation for reaching the Yuan True Realm. Once you reach that stage, you can easily defeat all your opponents!”
“Young Su Yi, when we meet the sect leader, tell him you wish to become my disciple, my direct disciple. As long as you remain in the Divine Sword School, the Court of Justice will eventually fall under your command. With me as your teacher, your cultivation will flourish!”
Just as Su Yi was processing this, almost simultaneously, a similar transmission from the other elders reached his ears.
“Go…”
Elder Duan Yuerong’s voice resonated in Su Yi’s ears, as a hand gently pressed on his shoulder. He found himself lifted into the air without control, the sound of rushing winds surrounding him.
The air currents howled, and within moments, Su Yi found himself suspended in mid-air.
At that moment, however, the shock in Su Yi’s heart was greater than ever.
These elders, who initially seemed like they were here to cause trouble, were all offering him something—each of them seemed to want him as their disciple…
The messages they sent left him utterly stunned. They were offering Dao-level weapons, mysterious pills, and even the Court of Justice as incentives.
Although Su Yi wasn’t a craftsman, he knew well about Yuan Weapons, Xuan Weapons, and Spirit Weapons. The difference between them and Dao-level weapons was immense.
An excellent Spirit Weapon was already highly valuable. For ordinary people, a Dao-level weapon was something of legend.
It was said that a Dao-level weapon could possess spiritual intelligence. Such treasures, once wielded, could sweep through the world with the power to move mountains, fill seas, and even shatter the void!
Although Su Yi had never seen the Mysterious True Pill, he understood from all the information that flooded his mind that this high-grade star pill was comparable to a low-grade Yellow-grade Pill.
Even Yellow-grade Pills were inferior to the Mysterious True Pill, which was rumored to offer immense benefits when breaking through the Yuan True Realm.
For any cultivator, the advantages it promised were irresistible.
Furthermore, the thought of the Court of Justice being handed to him in the future…
Elder Shangguan Hu, despite his fierce and sharp demeanor as head of the Court of Justice, wanted to take him as his disciple?
Such a temptation was extraordinary, and it meant that Su Yi could become a revered elder in the Divine Sword School.
Not just any elder, but the one in charge of the Court of Justice, a position of unimaginable power in the sect.
“What’s going on here…”
The winds howled around him, and a mournful sound echoed in his ears. Su Yi’s mind raced, struggling to comprehend the true intentions of these elders.
…
The mountains stretched endlessly, their peaks rising and falling.
The courtyard and pavilion were surrounded by the fragrant smoke of incense.
“Jian Shiyi has lost!”
In the small hall, a gray-clad elder in his fifties looked shocked and spoke to Situ Liuyun, who sat nearby.
“Has Jian Shiyi lost as well!”
Hearing this, Situ Liuyun immediately stood, his imposing figure clad in a black robe embroidered with golden flowers. His natural aura of dominance radiated as he asked, “Did you witness it with your own eyes?”
“I saw it with my own eyes!”
The gray-clothed elder nodded firmly, clearly shaken by what he had seen. The boy named Su Yi appeared far stronger than the rumors suggested.
“It’s becoming more surprising by the minute!”
Situ Liuyun murmured, his eyes flashing with intrigue. “Su Yi, from the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak…”
“Elder Yu, Elder Mei, Elder Lv, Elder Duan, and Elder Shangguan Hu are on their way to see you. They want your decision!”
The gray-clad elder smiled wryly, hastening to inform the Sect Leader of the situation.
“Interesting. I too am curious about this young man.”
Situ Liuyun smiled slightly, his gaze flickering with interest.
…
The mountain range stretched as far as the eye could see, converging into a magnificent peak, surrounded by lush greenery and intricate architecture.
Looking down from above, the valleys and peaks formed an undulating sea of majestic green, with seventy-two towering peaks reaching skyward.
One of the peaks stood out, towering above the others. It was firm and resolute, as if holding the sun in its grasp, while the surrounding peaks resembled a magnificent dragon soaring upwards.
The sound of rushing wind ceased, and Su Yi’s figure landed gracefully in an ancient square. The other elders followed suit, touching down at the same time.
