Chapter 397: Temporarily Passing Through!
“Not long after becoming Elder Su’s disciple, I was brought back to Divine Sword School by him. It’s been only a few days since then. Sect Leader and elders, after Elder Su returns, you may inquire about this matter directly with him.”
At this point, Su Yi had no choice but to move forward, resolutely reminding himself that he was a disciple of Elder Su.
“Um…”
The elders exchanged glances, while Situ Liuyun’s gaze involuntarily shifted.
As soon as Su Yi arrived at Divine Sword School, he could not escape their scrutiny. It was already known that he had recently arrived and had been brought back by Elder Su personally.
What Su Yi said seemed to be mostly accurate. Given his remarkable talent, if Elder Su had indeed taken him in as a disciple, it made sense.
“Su Yi, did Elder Su give you any specific instructions when he accepted you as his disciple?”
Situ Liuyun looked at Su Yi with a mixture of expressions.
“No…”
Su Yi shook his head, sensing that the looks from Sect Leader Situ Liuyun and the other elders hinted at something. Fearing saying too much and making a mistake, he decided it was best to say less. As long as he could prove his status as Elder Su’s disciple, that would be sufficient.
“Master, if he is truly Elder Su’s disciple, then…”
Elder Shangguan Hu, who had appeared certain of victory, now looked rather disappointed. No wonder this child was unaffected by his promises; it turned out that he was already Elder Su’s disciple, which changed everything.
“I’ll look into this matter when Elder Su returns. For now, you have no further role in it. I’ll have someone escort you back to the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak.”
Situ Liuyun took a deep breath and raised his eyes, gesturing for Su Yi to leave.
“I take my leave, Master.”
Su Yi’s gaze flickered briefly, and it seemed that he had passed this test, as there was no further mention of the Court of Justice.
At that moment, there was no reason to delay, so Su Yi quickly bowed and made his exit.
“Wait.”
Situ Liuyun stopped him, his gaze still complex.
Su Yi halted and looked at Situ Liuyun, a hint of unease creeping into his heart.
“I can’t confirm if you’re truly Elder Su’s disciple, but for now, take the outer disciple emblem of the Divine Sword School. Tell them it’s by my order, and they will handle everything for you. Tomorrow, you’ll participate in the Grand Swordsmanship Competition. As for the rest, we’ll see what fate has in store when Elder Su returns,” Situ Liuyun said.
“Understood,” Su Yi nodded, bowing once more.
Su Yi agreed to receive the outer disciple emblem himself. For everything else, he would leave it to fate until Elder Su’s return.
If Elder Su were to blame him later, he would have to accept it.
As Su Yi left the main hall, the oppressive atmosphere seemed to lift, and he immediately felt at ease, stretching lazily.
This left a deep impression on Su Yi. The elders of the Divine Sword School were incredibly powerful, especially Situ Liuyun, the head of the school. Despite his middle age, the aura surrounding him was far stronger than that of the other elders.
“With hard work and cultivation, one day I will become strong!”
Su Yi clenched his fists tightly, a flash of crimson in his eyes. He had the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique, a mysterious space, the identity of a Soul Tamer, and the tome “the Divine Demonic Ancient Verse.” One day, he would venture out to conquer the Six Lands, Three Continents, and the Great Ocean.
“Tweet…”
“Follow me, I’ll take you back to the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak!”
A loud roar rang out, and an armored disciple of the Divine Sword School appeared riding a massive demon beast, the Heavenly Soaring Eagle, to take Su Yi away.
The Divine Sword School’s peaks were scattered far apart, requiring travel through mountains and hills. Some of the smaller mountains were continuous, so it would take an entire day to walk from the Sky Sword Peak to the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, even with the use of True Qi.
The flying demon beast was a Heavenly Soaring Eagle, a powerful creature at the Demonic True Realm, which amazed Su Yi.
Taming a demon beast at the Yuan True Realm level as a mount was no small feat.
The Heavenly Soaring Eagle looked at Su Yi with fierce, intimidating eyes, making him feel a sudden surge of fear.
“Hiss…”
Su Yi quickly mounted the flying beast, riding alongside the armored disciple, sighing in relief. They had narrowly escaped danger and passed the trial.
Meanwhile, Su Yi remained unaware of the complex expressions on the faces of the elders, including Situ Liuyun and Yu Changqing, who had stayed behind in the hall.
“Master, could this Su Yi truly be Elder Su’s disciple?” Elder Lv Baimai asked, breaking the silence.
Situ Liuyun gave a slightly bitter smile and sighed, “If Elder Su truly accepts such a talented disciple, then it would be a good thing.”
Though he said this, the sadness behind his smile was clear to the others.
“Well, having such a talented disciple in our Divine Sword School is definitely a good thing!” Elder Mei Huaye commented, though some embarrassment showed in his eyes.
“If this kid were not just an outer disciple but actually Elder Su’s disciple, then we wouldn’t have a chance against him.” Elder Shangguan Hu remarked bitterly.
“At such a young age, he defeated Jian Shiyi. What will he achieve in five years?”
Elder Duan Yuerong’s eyes were filled with both shock and anticipation. When Liu Yunchuan, Yun Lingfeng, and the others entered the Divine Sword School five years ago, they were no match for Su Yi today.
What level would Su Yi reach in five years?
“I don’t know where Elder Su found this kid, but his talent is exceptional!” Elder Yu Changqing said with genuine admiration.
“Tomorrow is the Grand Swordsmanship Competition. We’ll see how far his talent can take him.” Situ Liuyun said, his gaze brimming with anticipation.
“Master, many elders have arrived at Sky Sword Peak, saying…”
A disciple dressed in armor suddenly entered the main hall, hesitating as he addressed the gathered elders.
“What’s the matter? Just say it plainly.”
The Right Dharma Protector urged the disciple to speak.
“Many elders have arrived and are asking for a disciple named Su Yi. They don’t want Elder Yu, Elder Shangguan, or the others to get ahead of them.”
The disciple was at a loss for words. To have so many elders come for an outer disciple was unprecedented in the Divine Sword School.
“Hmph, those guys were quick to act.” Elder Lv Baimai muttered, his voice laced with a faint coldness.
