The Sword-Bearing Old Ape pondered for a moment and said, "The Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect should have already guessed your identity. Yet even so, they still took part in this pursuit. It seems something major has happened within their sect."
Su Yi rubbed his brow. "Xu Fushi, the founding Grandmaster of the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect, was my close friend. I truly cannot imagine why they would target me. Unless..."
The Sword-Bearing Old Ape said, "Unless some drastic upheaval occurred in the long years after you reincarnated and began cultivating anew!"
"That should be it."
A flicker passed through Su Yi's eyes. "When the time comes, I'll personally visit the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect and get to the bottom of this matter."
The Sword-Bearing Old Ape reminded him, "That fellow just proved with his death that if you go to the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect, you will surely die."
Su Yi laughed. "Do you believe that?"
The Sword-Bearing Old Ape laughed as well. "If you go, I'll only worry that none of them will survive."
"It is certain that the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect is full of hostility toward me. After their operation to hunt me down failed this time, they will likely make thorough preparations in advance. Once I go there, I am destined to face an unpredictable killing tribulation."
Su Yi said casually, "Then let them prepare properly first."
From that day onward, Su Yi remained in the Black Mist Abyss.
He devoted himself to cultivation, tempering the power of his Great Dao, while also helping the Sword-Bearing Old Ape dissolve the Divine Tribulation Power within him.
Time slipped quietly away.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Outside the Black Mist Abyss.
"Why has no one come out yet?"
