But Dong Qingzhi and Zhuo Yu soon calmed down.
Given what they knew of Su Yi, he was no cruel, cold-blooded man with a narrow heart.
If he had chosen to uproot the grass and eliminate the roots to prevent the news from leaking, how could he possibly have let the people of Tai Fu Temple leave?
Sure enough, Su Yi said, "This counts as a test?"
There was a trace of helplessness in his voice.
Phoenix Ancestor blinked. "I was just teasing you."
Everyone: "..."
"Wait here for the time being. I have something to discuss with him. Afterward, I'll arrange for you to head to the River of Destiny Origin."
As Phoenix Ancestor spoke, she lightly flapped her wings.
The next moment, both she and Su Yi vanished into thin air.
Dong Qingzhi, Zhuo Yu, and the others exchanged glances, all inexplicably heaving a sigh of relief as their entire bodies relaxed.
"Only now do I realize how laughable it was for us to contend with Daoist Su for opportunities in the Sea of Destiny back then."
Dong Qingzhi sighed.
Everyone felt the same way.
Earlier, Su Yi had been powerful enough to suppress a Dao Ancestor and force his opponent to fight desperately. How terrifying was that?
True, Su Yi had used power that did not belong to him, but one had to remember—he was only a Heaven's Mandate Realm sword cultivator!
"When had the Great Lord of Sword Emperor City ever regarded figures like Dao Ancestors as worthy of notice?"
An imperceptible fervor surfaced between Zhuo Yu's brows. "Every one of us Seed Figures has the hope of becoming a Dao Ancestor in the future!"
"But under heaven and earth, how many can hope to become an existence like the Great Lord of Sword Emperor City?"
