Chapter 677: Sworn Brothers!
“The Saint Martial Assembly…”
Su Yi’s eyes brightened. The Saint Martial Assembly was the most significant event in the Central Region. The Divine Sword School would participate, as well as Sacred Mountain.
“In the Saint Martial Assembly, top two means top two. It’s a deal. You better keep your promise when the time comes.”
Su Yi nodded. If a Soul Tamer at the third grade of the Yuan Emperor Realm, someone like Lifetaken Yama Xi Wuqing, could join the Divine Demonic Sect for the Saint Martial Assembly, it would undeniably bolster the power of the Divine Demonic Sect.
“It’s a deal. Remember, just the top two!” Xi Wuqing swept his sleeve. The top two in the Saint Martial Assembly would be the ultimate showdown among the younger generation from across the Central Region. The most gifted talents from Sacred Mountain would take part. To secure a spot in the top two, extraordinary talent, recognized by the world, was required.
“Why would that be difficult?” Su Yi said confidently. If he couldn’t even rank in the top two of the Saint Martial Assembly, how could he ever hope to step onto Sacred Mountain?
“Good, if you truly make it to the top two, my old bones will join your sect, no problem.” Xi Wuqing lifted his gaze and took a sip, his eyes gleaming.
“Here, let me have a sip too.” Su Yi grabbed the wine gourd from Xi Wuqing’s hand, worried that he might drink it all.
“Kid, there isn’t much left. Save some for me, alright?”
“Senior Xi is being so stingy. Next time, I’ll bring you some fine wine!”
“Haha, what kind of good wine can a kid like you offer? Not all wine is worth calling good wine, you know.”
“For ordinary wine, I wouldn’t dare bring it out. Next time, I’ll make sure it satisfies Senior Xi!”
“Speaking of which, you understand my personality pretty well, kid. No need to call me ‘senior,’ I’m not that old yet.”
“Senior isn’t old, so how about this? Since we have a connection, let’s become sworn brothers, regardless of the age difference. What do you think?”
“You want to become sworn brothers with me?”
“By the heavens and earth, today, I, Su Yi, and Xi Wuqing become sworn brothers, supporting each other in adversity and sharing joy. We may not be born on the same day, but we aim for the same day… Ah, no. That’s not fair. Let’s just support each other in tough times and share happiness. If either of us breaks this oath, may lightning strike us, and thunder roar from the heavens!”
“Hahaha, you little rascal, you’re really… but you’re honest. Alright, today Xi Wuqing and Su Yi become friends of the opposite sex, facing difficulties together and sharing blessings. If we break this oath, let the thunder strike us, let the five thunders blast our heads!”
“Hahaha, bro!”
“You stinky kid.”
“…”
After a while, Su Yi lies on the ground, drunk and without exerting any energy. He finally gets his wish for a peaceful sleep and falls into slumber.
Looking at Su Yi lying on the ground, Xi Wuqing gazes at the dark sky. His eyes shine brightly, whispering softly, “Success or failure are just fleeting. The green mountains remain, the sunset appears several times. With white hair, I’ve watched the autumn moon and felt the spring breeze on the river. A cup of strong wine brings joy when we meet. Countless stories, both ancient and modern, all turn into laughter!”
As the words fall, filled with sighs, Xi Wuqing seems to be moved by something and also falls to the ground, asleep.
…
“A young boy, so ruthless!”
In the vast mountains and a small town, several strong men were lying on the ground in all directions. One tall man in a green outfit had a displeased expression on his face, his eyes filled with coldness.
“Boss, that kid is really ruthless. He crippled all of us. If you hadn’t arrived earlier, we would have all ended up in the belly of a demon beast.”
One man, covered in blood, looked terrified. They had all been disabled and encountered a demon beast. Normally, people would get swallowed, but they managed to narrowly escape.
“Search! Find him! As long as he’s still in the Forest of Demons, that kid won’t escape. Inform all the brothers to look for him. No matter who he is, we must not let him go. Otherwise, people will think my Blood Blade Mercenary Group is afraid!”
The tall man in the green outfit’s eyes glowed with murderous intent. An invisible aura of bloodthirst emanated from him, causing others to tremble.
…
The next morning.
Su Yi gradually woke up, slapped his head, and sat up immediately.
“Hey, did you wake up?” said Xi Wuqing, sitting cross-legged next to Su Yi, opening his slightly closed eyes and giving him a helpless look.
“Yes, I did,” Su Yi rubbed his eyes and glanced around. Then his eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at Xi Wuqing and asked, “Hey, bro, did we become sworn brothers?”
Although still a bit disoriented, Su Yi clearly remembered they had bowed and become brothers the previous day.
“You’re quite perceptive, kid. I, Xi Wuqing, have experienced so much in my life, yet I fell into your hands,” Xi Wuqing said helplessly, casting a disapproving glance at Su Yi. He had always been cautious and careful throughout his life, but yesterday he let his guard down, and now they were sworn brothers. If word of this gets out, he won’t be able to face anyone.
“Big brother, we can’t speak like that. Yesterday we bowed and paid respects together. In the future, we’ll share joy and help each other in difficult times. Otherwise, bad things will happen to us. Let’s not invite trouble upon ourselves.”
Su Yi chuckled, recalling the ceremony they had performed together. Now, he had someone he could rely on.
“Ah… like a falcon hunting all day, only to be pecked in the eye by a little chick. You sly kid.”
Xi Wuqing sighed, feeling as if he had fallen into a trap set by this young boy.
“Alright, I acknowledge you, you little brat,” Xi Wuqing said. “But let me make it clear, if you can’t rank in the top two of the Saint Martial Assembly, I won’t join your sect either. I’ve lived my entire life as a free man, and I don’t want to be a part of any sect.”
“The Saint Martial Assembly…”
Su Yi suddenly slapped his forehead, only then realizing the importance of the Saint Martial Assembly. Yesterday, he had promised Xi Wuqing that he would participate in the Saint Martial Assembly and rank in the top two before Xi Wuqing would join the sect.
“If you regret it, you don’t have to go,” Su Yi said.
Xi Wuqing looked at Su Yi. The Saint Martial Assembly would see the best of the young generation from the entire Central Region, along with the exceptional disciples from Sacred Mountain. To place in the top two meant surpassing the talented youths of all major sects in the region, ultimately having to face the strongest young generation from Sacred Mountain. The difficulty was evident.
Looking at Xi Wuqing, Su Yi shook his head. His expression firm, his gaze resolute, with a faint smile, he said, “I will participate in the Saint Martial Assembly and definitely enter the top two!”
Originally, Su Yi had planned to head directly to the Chaos Realm. He didn’t intend to participate in the Saint Martial Assembly, especially with disciples from Sacred Mountain and the Divine Sword School involved.
However, at this moment, Lifetaken Yama Xi Wuqing had set conditions.
Su Yi knew very well that participating in the Saint Martial Assembly wasn’t a big deal. But if he could get Xi Wuqing to join the Divine Demonic Sect, it would all be worth it.
