Chapter 567: Sword-Hiding Peak!
As Situ Liuyun watched Su Yi depart, a flicker of contemplation appeared in his eyes, and his expression grew profound.
“This young man is truly exceptional,” remarked a figure emerging from the study. It was the Right Dharma Protector.
“Your thoughts?” Situ Liuyun asked with a slight smile.
“Both true and false, layered with depth, yet full of cunning and hidden intentions, while still valuing loyalty and righteousness. Honestly, I’ve never met someone like him in my life. His true motives are beyond my understanding,” said Right Dharma Protector, offering a thoughtful smile.
Situ Liuyun responded, “He reached the seventh level of the Heavenly Stairs with four distinct abilities. That’s something we’ve never witnessed before.”
“It seems the sect leader has already made up his mind?” Right Dharma Protector looked at Situ Liuyun, inquiring.
Situ Liuyun suggested, “Let’s visit in five days. By then, they won’t have anything to object to. All they seek is an opportunity. If that young man truly has the fortune to obtain that supreme benefit, it would indeed be fate.”
Right Dharma Protector’s eyes gleamed for a moment before he asked, “Does the sect leader now trust the young man?”
Situ Liuyun, standing by the table, gazed at the ‘sword’ character he had written. His voice took on a gentle tone. “Though crafty and shrewd, there’s still loyalty and honor in him. But I fear that, in time, the Divine Sword School will become too small for him.”
“Why did the sect leader send this young man there? If he truly attains that supreme benefit, then…”
Right Dharma Protector’s eyes flickered. If the benefit fell into the hands of someone they couldn’t control, it would be a considerable advantage for the Divine Sword School, but not a good one.
“Whether he succeeds or not, it all depends on fate. For all these years, no one has succeeded. Perhaps this time, the outcome will be the same.”
Situ Liuyun’s gaze turned intense with excitement. “Even if the young man has such incredible luck, I’m willing to take a gamble.”
“Things have been stirring there lately. Maybe this time, it will truly fall to someone.”
Right Dharma Protector’s eyes shimmered with a flash of excitement. He felt a strange shiver in his heart, sensing what this moment might signal.
“This generation of disciples is exceptional. If such an unparalleled opportunity arises and aligns with the right person, the Divine Sword School might really have a chance to thrive!” Situ Liuyun clenched his fist, his eyes filled with sparkling determination.
Su Yi made his way back to the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, a sense of joy and anticipation swelling inside him. Having obtained the Xuanyuan Soaring Dragon Pill, and with the Tribulation Blood Spiritual Ginseng he had successfully crossed, his confidence in healing his grandfather’s injuries had grown.
Once in the courtyard, ensuring no one was nearby, Su Yi summoned the mysterious space.
Inside the space, the Blood Spiritual Ginseng was still recovering, surrounded by a rich variety of flourishing medicinal herbs.
Su Yi gathered thirty-four Dark Spirit Fruits and quickly left the mysterious space. He headed toward Sword-hiding Peak with urgency, eager to deliver the fruits.
Su Yi lacked special containers for all the Dark Spirit Fruits, so he needed to deliver them swiftly to Sword-hiding Peak and the Divine Sword School, lest their potency diminish.
The Fierce Wind Golden Eagle had remained at the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, so Su Yi sought out Qing Chao and others, asking about the location and essential details of Sword-hiding Peak. Afterward, he summoned the Fierce Wind Golden Eagle, and they departed immediately.
Sword-hiding Peak had long been the site where the Divine Sword School kept its martial arts techniques, swordsmanship, and valuable swords. Only disciples who met certain qualifications were allowed there.
As Su Yi was heading to Sword-hiding Peak with the Dark Spirit Fruits, he naturally met the required qualifications.
From the back of the Fierce Wind Golden Eagle, Su Yi noticed a distant view of towering ancient buildings, with high towers and people moving about.
In the small square below, many demon beast mounts were scattered. Disciples of the Divine Sword School were dismounting one by one.
Su Yi elegantly dismounted from the Fierce Wind Golden Eagle, attracting the attention of many disciples who were watching him with admiration.
“It’s Su Yi. Has he come for martial arts techniques?” some disciples murmured, still in awe of the duel on Spirit Sword Peak that had taken place only three days earlier.
“Grand Uncle Su Yi, please follow me. The Dharma Protector is waiting,” came a voice.
A woman in her mid-twenties appeared at Su Yi’s side. She wore a practical, stylish outfit and had a charming, graceful presence.
“Who are you?” Su Yi asked, somewhat surprised, not immediately recognizing her.
“By seniority, I must address you as Grand Uncle. The Dharma Protector arranged for me to accompany you. Please follow me.”
The woman, named Qin, smiled and looked Su Yi over, her eyes examining him openly.
Su Yi, now well-known throughout the Divine Sword School, had gained recognition after the Grand Swordsmanship Competition three days prior. But what she didn’t know was that the young man before her, who appeared ordinary, was actually a remarkable force.
“I dare not accept such formalities.”
Su Yi nodded, somewhat amused. He never imagined that Elder Su had such a high status within the Divine Sword School. It seemed that Sect Leader Situ Liuyun had informed Sword-hiding Peak of his visit—likely due to the thirty-four Dark Spirit Fruits. That explained why disciples were waiting for him.
“No need to be formal,” the woman named Qin said, not boasting, and led Su Yi into a grand and ancient building.
Inside a side hall, the Dharma Protector was already waiting.
To Su Yi’s surprise, the Dharma Protector was someone he knew: Dharma Protector Hou Changming, Zhang Qing’s master.
“Dharma Protector Hou.”
Su Yi bowed respectfully, having always held Dharma Protector Hou in high regard.
“No need for such formalities. Have you brought the Dark Spirit Fruits?” Dharma Protector Hou Changming chuckled, a hint of resignation in his voice. Su Yi’s status far surpassed his own, so he couldn’t accept such rituals.
Su Yi, feeling a little awkward, didn’t clarify that he had never been formally accepted as a disciple by Elder Su. He handed a space bag to Dharma Protector Hou Changming, which contained all the Dark Spirit Fruits.
Dharma Protector Hou Changming, who had been eagerly awaiting the fruits, received the space bag from Su Yi. He eagerly opened it, and within moments, a Dark Spirit Fruit appeared in his hand.
His eyes widened in surprise as he examined the shimmering Dark Spirit Fruit with its vibrant energy. He couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement, “Incredible, absolutely incredible…”
The woman named Qin couldn’t help but gaze at the Dark Spirit Fruits. Such treasures, she thought, were beyond her reach five years ago.
“There’s nothing more to be done. I will handle the rest. Sword-hiding Peak is full of martial arts techniques, cultivation methods, and hidden swords. Feel free to explore. If you’re unfamiliar, Qin Zhen can help you get acquainted.”
Dharma Protector Hou Changming waved his hand, his attention still fixed on the Dark Spirit Fruits he held.
He had encountered Dark Spirit Fruits before, but these—these were truly incomparable to any he had seen in the past.
