Su Xiuyi initially didn't want to pay attention to these people, but suddenly a thought struck her. After all, they were very polite, and it might be inconvenient to refuse them directly.
After all, he had a purpose in joining the Sword Gate: to make many friends, recruit talented individuals, and gather information for himself.
Now is a great opportunity to get to know these exceptional individuals.
The palace's owner could tell at a glance that he was no ordinary person.
The fact that they were escorted by a powerful protector at the True Immortal Realm level clearly indicates that they are no ordinary person, and such a person may bring them considerable benefits.
Thinking of this, Su Xiuyi immediately smiled, "Since you've invited me, young master, then I'll take my leave today."
Su Xiuyi nodded slightly to the other person, very politely.
"Please, young master!"
This True Immortal was very polite and did not underestimate Su Xiuyi because of his powerful cultivation. After all, he felt pressure from Su Xiuyi with just one glance.
His pupils involuntarily contracted, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
Su Xiuyi also took a step forward, and the immortal sword beneath her feet disappeared, entering the huge sword box on Su Xiuyi's back.
The sword box on Su Xiuyi's back was something she obtained by signing in during her Su Xiuyi in the Ten Thousand Races Ancient Realm.
As soon as the old man entered the palace, he whispered something in his young master's ear.
Yang Yi, standing in the main hall, showed a hint of excitement on his face. Upon seeing Su Xiuyi enter the palace, he immediately smiled and said, "I am Yang Yi, a direct descendant of the Yang Clan family. May I ask how you should address me, young master?"
Yang Yi was an arrogant man, but upon learning from his guardian that he sensed danger emanating from Su Xiuyi, a smile involuntarily crept onto his face. In Yang Yi's eyes, only a prodigy like Su Xiuyi was worthy of his personal greeting.
Seeing Yang Yi's politeness, Su Xiuyi immediately smiled and said, "My name is Su Yi, a humble Rogue Cultivator. Thank you for your kind offer, young master. Otherwise, I would not be qualified to step into this palace."
Upon hearing that Su Xiuyi was Rogue Cultivator, Yang Yi's eyes revealed a hint of shock. He hadn't expected that Su Xiuyi, a Rogue Cultivator, could make his protector feel threatened.
Even knowing he was Rogue Cultivator, Yang Yi still had a smile on his face.
However, the others, unaware of Su Xiuyi's true strength, couldn't help but show a mocking expression on their faces. Their previous curiosity vanished without a trace. After all, in their eyes, how could a Rogue Cultivator possibly catch the eye of these young masters from aristocratic families?
Seeing the disdain on their faces, Yang Yi's eyes flashed with mockery. In Yang Yi eyes, these people were nothing more than ordinary prodigies.
Yang Yi didn't even bother to introduce these people. He simply pulled Su Xiuyi towards the main hall, where seats had already been arranged for Yang Yi. Su Xiuyi sat in the same row as Yang Yi and the others.
The other prodigies couldn't help but look puzzled when they saw that Yang Yi had Su Xiuyi sit with him.
Yang Yi smiled at Su Xiuyi and said, "Brother Su Yi, let me introduce you. This is my close friend, Meng Hao, and this is Fairy Lu Yao. They are both Dao of the Sword prodigies. This time, entering Sword City, they will definitely be able to enter the Sword Gate for cultivation!"
"We all have the opportunity to become Sword Gate, and we'll probably need to look out for each other then."
As soon as Yang Yi finished speaking, Meng Hao and Lu Yao, who were standing to the side, immediately nodded to Su Xiuyi.
Both of them showed a hint of curiosity. Although they came from aristocratic families and were arrogant, they were also extremely intelligent. They knew very well that Yang Yi was not one to treat people with respect. Since Su Xiuyi valued Yang Yi so highly, they guessed that Su Xiuyi must be extraordinary, especially since Yang Yi's protector had whispered something in Yang Yi's ear earlier.
However, the moment Su Xiuyi sat down, a cold glint appeared in the eyes of some of the prodigies present.
After all, geniuses are all incredibly proud. These people are all extremely powerful beings in their respective immortal cities, but today they were not invited by Yang Ying to sit together, while Su Xiuyi, a mere Rogue Cultivator, was sitting with Yang Yi. Naturally, they all looked disdainful.
Fairy Lu Yao sat with Meng Hao and Yang Yi. In their eyes, the two of them were qualified, but Su Xiuyi was a Rogue Cultivator with no reputation. Where did she get the qualifications?
The reason these young masters from noble families gathered in this palace was that many of them wanted to follow Yang Yi and other prodigies. After all, wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue, and if they could be valued by an extremely powerful prodigy and become his followers, it would be an opportunity for them.
At this moment, a young man in black slowly stood up and said to Yang Yi, "Young Master Yang, I don't think Su Yi is qualified to sit with you!"
"Only the chosen ones of heaven can sit with Young Master Yang."
"What qualifications does a mere Rogue Cultivator have?"
The black-clad swordsman's voice had barely faded when Yang Yi's face turned cold. He snapped, " Liu Sheng, sit down! I personally invited Young Master Su Yi, so he naturally has the right to sit with me. Moreover, I am the master of this palace; do I not have the right to make arrangements?"
However, the swordsman named Liu Sheng still wore a defiant look on his face as he looked at Su Xiuyi and said, "Young master, Young Master Yang is known for his respect for scholars, but as a cultivator who has seen all aspects of the world, don't you know whether you have the ability or the right to sit with Young Master Yang?"
"The reason we are all here today is that we want to become followers of Young Master Yang, Young Master Meng, and Fairy Lu Yao. Does Su Yi intend to choose followers from among us?"
As the swordsman's voice faded, the geniuses present all revealed a mocking smile, their gazes towards Su Xiuyi filled with disdain.
" Liu Sheng!"
In that instant, Yang Yi shouted again, but his anger had lessened somewhat. Seeing that Liu Sheng was so persistent, Yang Yi had actually felt a pang of pity. Liu Sheng was not weak, and Yang Yi also wanted to use Liu Sheng to test Su Xiuyi's strength.
Neither Meng Hao nor Fairy Lu Yao spoke; their curious gazes fell on Su Xiuyi, wondering how she would handle the Su Xiuyi.
Seeing all eyes on her, Su Xiuyi remained calm, glanced at Liu Sheng, and said, "Then how do you want me to prove I'm qualified to sit here?"
Su Xiuyi remained calm and composed. The moment she finished speaking, she casually picked up the wine pot in front of her and poured herself a cup of wine, ignoring Liu Sheng's cold and provocative gaze.
When Liu Sheng saw Su Xiuyi finally speak, a look of excitement appeared on his face. What he feared most was that Su Xiuyi would remain silent, which would have made him extremely embarrassed.
Liu Sheng said arrogantly, "If you defeat me, then I have nothing more to say!"
As soon as Liu Sheng finished speaking, all the geniuses in the palace showed excitement on their faces. They knew very well that Liu Sheng was very strong, and they wanted to see Liu Sheng strength for themselves. As for Su Xiuyi, they thought she was just so-so.
However, in the instant everyone awaited Liu Sheng's sword strike, Su Xiuyi downed her drink in one gulp and said indifferently, "You are not worthy of my sword!"
As soon as Su Xiuyi finished speaking, all the geniuses in the palace were instantly dumbfounded. Everyone was shocked. No one expected that Su Xiuyi, Rogue Cultivator, would dare to speak so arrogantly!
"What?"
"How dare you! You say I, Liu Sheng, am not worthy of your sword?"
"Very well, then today I'd like to experience your skills firsthand."
"And let me show you just how strong the Liu Sheng family's Dao of the Sword is."
Already resentful, Liu Sheng's face contorted with rage. In the next instant, he drew his longsword from its sheath and, with lightning speed, struck at Su Xiuyi.
Seeing the dazzling sword light piercing towards her, Su Xiuyi didn't even look at Liu Sheng at that moment. In that instant, Su Xiuyi raised her hand and casually waved her sleeve.
The furious Liu Sheng suddenly changed his expression, his eyes filled with horror.
Because Liu Sheng discovered that as Su Xiuyi casually waved her sleeve, an extremely terrifying Great River Sword Intent swept towards him.
Liu Sheng's Dao of the Sword was extremely powerful, but when faced with Su Xiuyi's Great River Sword Intent in that instant, a look of horror appeared on his face, as if he were a lone boat adrift.
The incredibly powerful Liu Sheng was instantly blasted away by the terrifying sword intent. He felt a sweet taste in his throat, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell unconscious.
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
In that instant, those who had been mocking him in the palace all showed a look of horror on their faces. No one had expected that the incomparably powerful Liu Sheng would be like an ant in front of Su Xiuyi.
Yang Yi, Meng Hao, and Fairy Lu Yao were also shocked when they looked at Su Xiuyi. Even if they wanted to defeat Liu Sheng, they could never do it as effortlessly as Su Xiuyi.
"Brother Su is indeed an unparalleled genius, far beyond Non-Self reach."
" Yang Yi Brother Su!"
In that instant, to defuse the awkward situation, Yang Yi immediately straightened the wine glass in front of him.
"Young Master Yang, you flatter me. Although Su Yi has some talent, he is insignificant compared to you."
"Young Master Yang, please!"
Seeing that Su Xiuyi was being so accommodating, Yang Yi burst into laughter and shared a drink with Su Xiuyi.
Meng Hao and Fairy Lu Yao, who were initially only curious about Su Xiuyi, suddenly felt a desire to get to know her.
Both of them were very clear about Su Xiuyi's talent; it was definitely no less than theirs, and perhaps even slightly better. If she wanted to gain a foothold in the Sword Gate, making friends with many talented individuals was a no-brainer.
At that moment, Meng Hao and Fairy Lu Yao also raised their glasses and toasted Su Xiuyi.
After their initial shock, the expressions on the faces of the genius sword cultivators in the main hall instantly changed. Their mockery and contempt vanished, replaced by fervor.
In their view, it would be an immense blessing to be able to follow a formidable prodigy like Su Xiuyi.
After all, these people are very clear that it is extremely difficult to enter the Sword Gate Sect for cultivation, and it is even more difficult to gain a certain status within the Sword Gate.
Therefore, these geniuses all shared the same idea: to choose a follower, become a servant, and enter the Sword Gate to cultivate.
No one can be absolutely certain of entering the Sword Gate based solely on their talent.
In the blink of an eye, Su Xiuyi became a fragrant figure.
Su Xiuyi couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In this world, strength truly reigns supreme, and everything is incredibly realistic. If she truly lacked strength, she would probably have already lost all face by now.
Su Xiuyi was not arrogant; she quickly became quite friendly with these people, because Su Xiuyi also needed followers.
Soon, Yang Yi put down his wine glass and excitedly announced, "Everyone, we've arrived at Sword City!"
Su Xiuyi looked outside, and the next moment, Su Xiuyi discovered an ancient city floating in the void.
On this incredibly ancient city, one can see countless traces of time.
At the same time, in that instant, Su Xiuyi's Pupil of Void Breaking also saw the terrifying sword intent soaring straight into the sky within this ancient city.
Clearly, this ancient city contains an extremely terrifying aura of Dao of the Sword.
Su Xiuyi couldn't help but feel hopeful, wondering if she could find an unparalleled opportunity in such a terrifying ancient city.
"Brother Su, let's go check out Sword City first. Legend has it that there is a Wordless Sword Stele Wordless Sword Stele in Sword City, which contains the Dao of the Sword that reaches to the heavens. If one can comprehend it, one will benefit immensely."
"That Wordless Sword Stele was left by a senior member of the Sword Gate. The Dao of the Sword within it are extremely profound, and no one has ever been able to comprehend its true meaning. Let's see if we can find an opportunity."
"Rumor has it that this Wordless Sword Stele has an extraordinary origin, and if one can truly comprehend the inheritance within, there is a chance to become a true disciple."
"However, I don't know if it's true or not, but the Wordless Sword Stele does indeed contain a heaven-reaching Dao of the Sword."
From their conversation, Yang Yi knew that Su Xiuyi didn't know much about Sword City, so he explained, also hoping to make friends with her.
"In that case, let's go and see if we can find an opportunity."
Su Xiuyi did not refuse, and upon hearing Yang Yi's introduction, she became interested. After all, although Su Xiuyi Su Xiuyi Wushuang talented, what was even more impressive was her Sign-In System. If the wordless sword stele truly contained a boundless path, Su Xiuyi felt that the Sign-In System was very likely to receive an unparalleled inheritance.
"Then let's go take a look together!" Meng Hao laughed loudly and instantly Space Breaking towards the city gate.
Soon, the group passed through the city gate of Sword City. The moment they stepped through the gate, a look of shock appeared in their eyes. When they looked back at the gate after entering, a look of astonishment appeared in their eyes. The tall city gate seemed to be Dao Void.
For a moment, they didn't feel like they had entered a city at all; it was as if they had entered another world.
Su Xiuyi was also greatly shocked, her face filled with astonishment.
Looking back at the city gate, Su Xiuyi had a feeling as if she had returned to the Ten Thousand Races Ancient Realm and saw the Heavenly Gate appear in the void.
"As expected of the Wushuang Dust City, it is truly extraordinary and awe-inspiring."
Su Xiuyi spoke up directly.
Everyone was quite shocked, and their faces showed a look of astonishment. Only Yang Yi others, who understood the situation, were able to remain somewhat calm.
