I Am Sword God Sui Yu

I looked in surprise at the purple-clothed youth. He didn't seem nervous at all, just quietly observing me with a profound calmness. I was their enemy, yet he wasn't afraid of me killing him.

"Great Hero, please take us as disciples! We will be very good disciples. Our talent is excellent, and we have great determination. You will be very satisfied if you take us as disciples, and we will bring you glory..."

"Stop!" I shouted, turning to look at two bald youths with their mouths open, wanting to speak but not daring to. What was going on? These two actually wanted to become my disciples. Ha, not bad. I hadn't had any disciples since arriving in this world. (You're only six years old, who would take you as a master?) Seeing their innate Fire Attribute bodies and their Life Primordial Energy being much higher than average, if I took them, they might bring me glory in the future and serve me on my journey. It was a good idea to take them.

"It's not impossible for you two to join my Tianxin Sect, but it mainly depends on your destiny. In essence, it depends on your moral character and how highly you regard things like respecting elders," I said, striking a pose as an elder.

"Yes, Master! We deeply respect Master. If Master tells us to go east, we will definitely go east. If Master tells us to go west, we will definitely go west. If Master wants tea, we will fetch it. If Master sleeps, we will guard the door for Master..." The two bald youths looked very bright under the sun. I found myself liking these two kids a bit. They were brave and charged forward in fights, and seeing how they acted towards me, they must be extremely diligent in their cultivation. They respected their master and were filial. Good, good.

"Hmm, not bad. I'll reluctantly take you. It's rare for me, your master, to take disciples. You are my first disciples. You must work hard and perform well in the future, understand?" I said in a tone of an elder lecturing a junior.

"Yes, Master! Master, how many people are in our Tianxin Sect now? Is it as many as Shaolin?" The two senior disciples looked at me expectantly. After seeing my martial arts, they estimated that my sect must be a major one and were already proud to belong to such a large sect.

Oh, there's no Tianxin Sect in this world right now. Isn't it just me in the Tianxin Sect? Heh, I'm establishing the Tianxin Sect in this world, so I'm the founding patriarch! Even if my senior sect members in the immortal realm found out, it would be fine. Aren't I just expanding the branches of the Tianxin Sect!

"This, this, our Tianxin Sect only has me. I am the founding patriarch! You two are also elders of the Tianxin Sect in the future," I said, looking at my two senior disciples. I didn't want them to lose face.

"Master, really? We are elders of the Tianxin Sect! Haha, we are elders now, haha..." My cute disciples were extremely happy.

"Master, may I ask what your title is in the martial world? We had someone called Invincible Divine Fist, but he was later defeated by someone called 'Immortal Flying from Beyond the Heavens.' What's your name? Are you even more powerful than them?" My two disciples started probing me.

"Master, I am the Sword God—Sui Yu! Much more powerful than those people. I'm comparable to the top ten experts on the continent, hmph!" I had no choice but to use my previous Daoist name, just adding "Sword God" in front. Honestly, it still sounded pretty cool.

"Master is so powerful, your father must also be a renowned hero! It's said that a tiger sire produces no dog offspring. Am I right, Master?" the slightly taller bald youth said.

Father, father, haha... He is a renowned hero, not just any hero.

My good mood from the two kids moments ago instantly vanished. Father, hero. I gave a bitter smile to the heavens. Just for sacrificing his own son for the family's interests, he could be called a great hero, an unparalleled great hero.

"Hahaha... My father is a great hero, an unparalleled great hero!" I roared towards the sky, and a surge of sword energy shot up, startling the birds on the mountain.

"Master, Master," my tall disciple whispered. He knew his words had been wrong.

My heart slowly calmed down. I looked at my two slightly frightened disciples, knowing that my previous sword energy had scared them.

"I'm fine. I just thought of something. It has nothing to do with you," I said reassuringly, looking at my two disciples. I didn't want this to create a distance between us.

"I still don't know your names. What are your names?" I asked my two disciples.

"Master, my name is Li Da, and this is my twin brother, Li Er. We've always wanted to learn profound martial arts, but we never had good masters before. We only learned from those in martial arts schools. The one who taught us the longest was the now-deceased Invincible Divine Fist. After he died, we taught ourselves. Later, we wandered to this mountain stronghold with Brother Xiao Yu and his father. To escape pursuit from enemies, we stayed here," the taller one said.

It seemed the shorter one was Li Er. "Then you will be the senior disciple, and Li Er will be the second disciple," I told them. I suddenly remembered the purple-clothed youth.

I turned my head and looked at the purple-clothed youth who had left a deep impression on me from the beginning. Just as I was about to speak, my senior disciple Li Da said:

"Master, this is our Brother Xiao Yu. Brother Xiao Yu is very capable and proficient in various military strategies and formations. His father, Uncle Zhang, was the chief carver at the nation's number one jade shop, 'Baoyuxiang.' Later, due to internal disputes within 'Baoyuxiang,' Uncle Zhang supported the eldest son. The second son then sent people to assassinate the eldest son. However, Uncle Zhang accidentally learned of this, and the second son sent people to hunt down Uncle Zhang. It's said that the eldest son has already been killed, but the second son hasn't stopped the pursuit, so we had to stop here."

I looked at the purple-clothed youth and smiled, "You are that Brother Xiao Yu, aren't you?"

"I am Zhang Yu," Zhang Yu replied, still looking cool.

"Please take me as your disciple." Zhang Yu, who had been so cool moments ago, immediately knelt down and begged me to take him as a disciple. It was truly unbearable. I looked at him; his aptitude didn't seem very good, and his physical attributes were water-elemental. He could only practice the Mysterious Yin Art. Yet, for some reason, I really liked him.

"Tell me, why do you want to become my disciple? Your aptitude is average, and you don't seem to have practiced any martial arts before. What makes you think I should take you as a disciple?" I asked Zhang Yu calmly.

Zhang Yu looked at me without speaking. After a long pause, he finally said, "For my father, to protect my father. During the repeated escapes, I could only be a burden. I could only hope that my two elder brothers would protect my father. I, who should have protected my father, was always protected by them. During one escape, my father took a knife wound himself to prevent me from getting hurt. I truly hate myself. Why can't I practice martial arts? Why can't I protect my father?" By this point, Zhang Yu was in tears.

Li Da and Li Er looked at their usually strong Brother Xiao Yu like this and were also extremely sad.

"Xiao Yu, don't say that. We've long been like brothers. Your father is my father. Don't be like this," Li Da and Li Er comforted Zhang Yu.

Protecting his father, his father disregarded his own life for him, using his body to block a knife for him. Haha, and my father?

"Good, good! Just for saying you want to protect your father, I'll take you as my disciple. You are my third disciple," I said loudly.

"Thank you, Master." Zhang Yu solemnly kowtowed three times.

"Get up and come with me to see if this mountain king has made his decision," I said with a laugh, walking towards Li Si.

"Li Si, have you made your decision? Speak quickly," I said sternly to Li Si.

"Great Hero, why are you still asking me? These guys have all become your disciples. They all know the location of my treasure," Li Si said with a helpless expression.

"How did we know about the small treasury you hid under the bed in the secret room?" Zhang Yu said with a smile, looking at Li Si.

"Ah, you, you, how do you know about my small treasury? I haven't told anyone! Ah, my heavens, I really don't have a single tael of silver left! Please, all you bosses, leave me some money, I beg you..." Li Si started crying.

"Master, some soldiers are starting to return to the stronghold. Let's hurry, lest they take it first," Zhang Yu reminded me.

I saw a few guys starting to sneak up the mountain. I smiled. Li Da, Li Er, you two go with Zhang Yu first. I'll be there in a moment.

"Okay, Master, the three of us will go first. Don't worry, we won't let those little brats take a single tael of silver," Li Da shouted in response.

Watching their departing backs, I walked towards Sister Yu and the others.

"Sister Yu," I immediately reverted to my original appearance. "When I left the Zhang manor a few days ago, I met an immortal who taught me a transformation spell. That's why I didn't return for seven consecutive days."

"Oh, no wonder. You didn't return for seven days, and even with the Zhang Family's influence, they couldn't find you." Sister Yu nodded as if she suddenly understood. Brother Wang and the others also looked enlightened. It wasn't because they were easily fooled, but mainly because the Zhang Family's influence was so vast that their inability to find me after searching for seven days made my explanation quite plausible.

"Let's go collect my first earnings. This is the first money I've ever made. Although it's by robbing, it's still money. Let's go!" I shouted.

"Let's go, let's get the money!" Brother Lang Feng was only ten years old. Unlike me, whose mental age was much greater and already very mature, everyone was still quite excited. Who wouldn't be happy to get money so easily?

The five of us walked towards the mountain.
