The members of the Sword Gate Sect saw the followers of the Ninth Peak fleeing from Lutian Peak as if their lives depended on it, and a mocking smile appeared on their lips.
In their eyes, Su Xiuyi was courting death, lacking any sense of forbearance; such a person wouldn't last long.
I think Su Xiuyi should have stopped after defeating Luo Tianming and shouldn't have provoked Ye Qingcang.
That was a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Although the true disciples had terrifying talents, how many people could actually reach the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal?
So the moment Su Xiuyi declared war on Ye Qingcang, those who had initially felt threatened by Su Xiuyi were relieved.
In their eyes, Su Xiuyi was already a dead person.
In the temple, the Supreme Elder also closed his eyes.
"Well!"
"I never expected this little guy to be so arrogant. In just one year, even with monstrous talent, he would never dare to challenge Ye Qingcang. Ye Qingcang's strength is that of Great Luo Golden Immortal!"
"It seems we must get the sect leader to stop this duel."
"However, this time we must also use Ye Qingcang to teach him a lesson, otherwise, such an arrogant personality will be a curse rather than a blessing."
The Supreme Elder looked somewhat helpless and let out a long sigh.
On the Ninth Peak, Yang Yi, Ye Chen, and the others stood quietly in the main hall.
Su Xiuyi's gaze fell on the four of them, and she asked with a smile, "Aren't you four leaving?"
"You should know that I have provoked Ye Qingcang. From now on, the Ninth Peak will be suppressed from all sides, not just by Ye Qingcang. As far as I know, many of the true disciples are also Ye Qincang's followers. Ye Qingcang is a strong contender for the future sect leader position."
"Following me will mean a life without light!"
As Su Xiuyi finished speaking, Ye Chen took a deep breath and said, "I said that day that if you could master the art of the Dao of the Sword of Slaughter, then I would become your follower. Although I, Ye Chen, am afraid of death, I keep my word."
"And if I choose to leave out of fear, then my Dao of the Sword will come to an end."
As Ye Chen finished speaking, Su Xiuyi's gaze fell on Yang Yi and the other two, and she said with a smile, "Why did you three stay?"
The three exchanged a glance, Yang Yi stepped forward to explain, "Peak Master, you bestowed upon us the Dao of the Sword of Slaughter, which is a life-saving grace for us. The Dao of the Sword of Slaughter is an extremely terrifying path that will definitely allow us to go much further."
"A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude in return. Moreover, the three of us believe that the Peak Master is not an arrogant and ignorant person. Since he says he will challenge Ye Qingcang in a year, he must have the confidence to do so."
As Yang Yi finished speaking, Meng Hao stepped forward and said with a smile.
The three of us choose to believe in the Peak Master!
"If the Peak Master were truly the kind of arrogant and ignorant person who doesn't know his own mortality, then he certainly wouldn't have mentioned a year. Since he did mention a year, then the Peak Master must have his reasons."
When Fairy Lu Yao saw Su Xiuyi's gaze fall on her, she hurriedly explained, "Sword cultivators should forge ahead without hesitation. If they retreat when they encounter danger, then their path to enlightenment will come to an end."
"And as Meng Hao and Yang Yi said, I believe in the Peak Master."
Hearing the three's words, Ye Chen was shocked. Ye Chen had been pursuing Su Xiuyi because of a promise, but he never expected that Yang Yi Ye Chen and the other two would choose to stay because they thought Su Xiuyi could defeat Ye Qingcang. In Ye Chen's opinion, this was unbelievable.
Ye Qingcang, however, a terrifying Great Luo Golden Immortal.
If he were to venture out into the world, he would be a dominant figure.
"Hahaha!"
"Interesting. Right now, everyone in the entire Sword Gate thinks I'm crazy, yet the three of you choose to believe I can do it. Aren't you afraid of losing the bet?"
"Follow me, and you'll find it impossible to move an inch. Even within the sect, the world is a dangerous place!"
"Offending a Grand Great Luo Golden Immortal will make things very difficult from now on."
Have the four of you made up your minds?
"You still have a chance to leave now. If you miss this opportunity and try to leave later, I will simply eliminate you all."
Su Xiuyi stopped smiling, stared at the four people in front of her, and said, word by word.
"We are willing to follow the Peak Master!"
Ye Chen and his three companions knelt down instantly. Others might find it unbelievable, but the four weren't fools. In that instant, they gleaned a great deal from Su Xiuyi's words: Su Xiuyi truly had the confidence to defeat Ye Qingcang within a year.
Although it was unbelievable, Su Xiuyi had created too many miracles, so the three of them decided to take a gamble.
"Good!"
"Since that's the case, then I won't treat you unfairly."
Let's go!
"I've heard that every disciple who enters the Sword Gate has a chance to delve into the Sword Tomb. As sword cultivators, immortal swords have a great amplifying effect on us. Today, let's head to the Sword Tomb and choose a suitable immortal sword!"
After Su Xiuyi finished speaking, she didn't linger and strode out of the main hall. Ye Chen and the other three exchanged glances, immediately straightened their backs, and followed behind Su Xiuyi towards the core area of Sword Gate.
Within the Sword Tomb are countless immortal swords, some left over from the ancient times, and others left behind by the fallen predecessors of the Sword Gate. The Sword Tomb is incredibly vast, containing an unknown number of famous swords.
Su Xiuyi's declaration of war against Ye Qingcang caused a huge uproar throughout the Sword Gate. Just when everyone thought Su Xiuyi Su Xiuyi would be all alone, they suddenly discovered that four tall figures were following behind her, heading towards the Sword Tomb. Everyone couldn't help but show a look of shock on their faces.
"Interesting. The people who entered the sect this time are indeed interesting. I didn't expect that after Su Yi challenged Senior Brother Ye Qingcang, there would still be people who dared to follow him."
"I bet these people will leave Ninth Peak within a month at most."
At the Eleventh Peak, a terrifying figure entered the main hall. " Bai Zhan greets Senior Brother Ye."
" Bai Zhan, what brings you here?"
Ye Qingcang slowly turned around, his face gentle and refined, and smiled as he spoke to Bai Zhan.
"Senior Brother Ye, that Su Yi is courting death, daring to provoke you. His talk of a life-or-death battle with you a year from now is nothing but a ploy to buy time and prolong his life."
"In my opinion, only Ye Shen is qualified to occupy the Ninth Peak. What right does Su Yi have to claim it?"
Ye Qingcang said with a smile, "Don't underestimate Su Yi. Not only did he inherit the Dao of the Sword of Slaughter, but he also defeated Luo Tianming with only the peak of the early True Heart stage cultivation. He's no simple character, just a bit arrogant."
"With some trials and tribulations, he will become a pillar of the Sword Gate in the future."
"Of course, let alone a year, even if you give him 100 years, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble in front of me."
"If he is the Wushuang Monkey Sun, then I am the Tathagata the Western Heaven."
Upon hearing Bai Zhan Ye Qingcang's words, Bai Zhan's lips curled into a fanatical smile. In Bai Zhan's eyes, Ye Qingcang was an invincible figure.
Because Bai Zhan knew that Ye Qingcang had obtained the inheritance of the Immortal Emperor and was an extremely terrifying Immortal King, in Bai Zhan's view, Su Xiuyi challenging Ye Qingcang was simply courting death.
"Senior Brother Ye, I heard that Su Yi is incredibly arrogant. He just challenged you, Senior Brother Ye, and then led a few people to the Sword Tomb to retrieve a sword."
"I've been in seclusion all this time and haven't yet witnessed Su Yi's talent. Today, I'll see what kind of Wushuang sword his unparalleled talent can wield!"
"Perhaps that's why they can't even enter the Sword Gate." Bai Zhan seemed to suddenly realize something, a mocking smile appearing on his lips.
Ye Qingcang Ye Qingcang a smile, but a hint of killing intent flashed deep in his eyes.
Outside the Sword Tomb, Su Xiuyi led Ye Chen and the other three down slowly.
With the opening of the Sword Gate this time, many geniuses have been recruited, and at this moment, a large number of people have gathered outside the Sword Tomb.
Among them were many powerful individuals, who were not there to retrieve the sword, but rather to lead their followers to the Sword Tomb.
As soon as Su Xiuyi landed, whispers arose around her, and the gazes directed at Su Xiuyi were full of mockery, as if she were an idiot.
Some of them even went so far as to loudly mock and ridicule Wuji.
Ye Chen and the others were furious, but Su Xiuyi seemed not to hear them and whispered, "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?"
"As long as they don't dare call me by my name directly, isn't that good enough?"
Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, Ye Chen and his companions instantly noticed the disdain on the faces of those people.
Even though Su Xiuyi was a bit arrogant, no one in the entire Sword Gate dared to provoke Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Based on this alone, Ye Chen and his group of four felt that these people had no right to provoke them.
However, just as the four were about to enter the Sword Tomb, a voice suddenly rang out, and at the same time, an incomparably Wushuang sword intent enveloped Su Xiuyi and the other three.
" Su Yi, how dare you provoke Senior Brother Ye Qingcang? What gives you the right?"
"Don't even mention a year, even if you had 100 years, you still couldn't defeat Senior Brother Ye."
"Senior Brother Ye, you are a peerless genius, a rare talent, one in ten thousand years. It's only natural that I've met you here today. I'd like to see what you're capable of."
"I am Zhao Zhen, Early Golden Immortal, and a follower of Senior Brother Ye."
Facing Zhao Zhen's unparalleled Wushuang domain, Su Xiuyi's expression remained unchanged. She stared at Zhao Zhen and said, "Sorry, I don't have time to spar with you."
"Now I'm entering the Sword Tomb; a good dog doesn't block my way."
Su Xiuyi stared at Zhao Zhen in front of her and said, word by word.
"What did you say?"
Who are you calling a dog?
Zhao Zhen's face suddenly became incredibly ferocious.
"I said a good dog doesn't block the road. Whoever blocks my way is obviously a dog."
"And aren't you just Ye Qingcang's dog?"
Su Xiuyi looked at Zhao Zhen with disdain. Even though Zhao Zhen had the cultivation of Golden Immortal, and was even better than Luo Tianming, Su Xiuyi still did not take him seriously.
" Su Yi, how dare you humiliate me! How arrogant! Today I challenge you to Life and Death Platform. Do you dare to fight?"
"I'd like to see if you're truly confident, or just arrogant and ignorant."
As soon as Zhao Zhen finished speaking, an uproar erupted outside the Sword Tomb. No one had expected that Su Xiuyi would dare to humiliate Zhao Zhen so Wuji.
The Life and Death Platform is a place where life and death are determined; if one perishes there, no one will blame them.
Some people who knew Zhao Zhen sneered, thinking that Su Xiuyi was courting death. Although Zhao Zhen was not a true disciple, Zhao Zhen talent was even more terrifying than some of the true disciples.
Are you sure?
However, after hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Su Xiuyi was not afraid at all; instead, a mocking smile appeared on her lips.
"Snort!"
" Su Yi, I'll be waiting for you on the Life and Death Platform. If you have the guts, come on over. If not, get out of Sword Gate from now on."
Seeing that Su Xiuyi had agreed to the life-or-death battle, Zhao Zhen left behind some contemptuous words, then Skysoar into the air and headed directly towards the Sword Gate's Life and Death Platform.
"Peak Master!"
"Although Zhao Zhen is not a true disciple, his strength is even greater than Luo Tianming's. He is Ye Qingcang's follower who has been recruited outside. It is obvious that Zhao Zhen did this on purpose today."
"Perhaps this is Ye Qingcang's intention, to take this opportunity to cripple you. In Ye Qingcang's view, although you pose no threat to him, you dared to challenge him, and Ye Qingcang feels that you have humiliated him."
Ye Chen immediately explained.
"It's alright!"
"If we back down today, there will be even more trouble tomorrow."
"As a swordsman, one should break rather than bend!"
"Moreover, he's only a Golden Immortal."
"I can still handle it!"
"Let's make an example of them today to avoid future trouble."
Su Xiuyi sneered, her body Skysoar into the air as she headed towards the Life and Death Platform.
Soon, countless people gathered around the arena of Life and Death Platform.
Few people die on the Life and Death Platform, yet today, Zhao Zhen and Su Xiuyi have agreed to a life-or-death duel.
The Supreme Elder looked annoyed, feeling that Su Xiuyi was a troublemaker who had never made the Sword Gate peaceful since Su Xiuyi entered the Sword Gate.
"Damn bastard, Zhao Zhen is not Luo Tianming can compare to."
But at this moment, Su Xiuyi and Zhao Zhen are on the Life and Death Platform, and even he has neither the right nor the means to stop them.
Because the Life and Death Platform is where the Sword Gate settles its grudges, no one is allowed to stop it.
At the Eleventh Peak, Bai Zhan's eyes turned into shattered gold, piercing through the void as he looked towards the Life and Death Platform, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Senior Brother Ye, this Su Yi is so arrogant. Zhao Zhen is not someone Luo Tianming can compare to."
"Having agreed to Zhao Zhen's challenge to a life-or-death battle today, it seems that from this day forward, the Sword Gate will no longer have a figure named Su Yi."
"If I remember correctly, Senior Brother Ye Wentian Immortal Sword Technique to Senior Brother Zhao Zhen."
Bai Zhan looked at Ye Qingcang and said with a smile.
The Immortal Sword Wentian is an incredibly powerful immortal sword, the sword of an Immortal King. With the assistance of the Immortal King's sword, Bai Zhan believes that Su Xiuyi is doomed to die today.
After all, Zhao Zhen's strength was a whole realm greater than Su Xiuyi's.
"Let's watch the show!"
"Perhaps they have some hidden cards we can't even imagine; otherwise, where would they get the right and the audacity to challenge me to a duel?"
Ye Qingcang seemed unperturbed. With a wave of his hand, a tea set appeared before him, and he began to brew tea with elegant movements.
It was as if everything was irrelevant to him.
Bai Zhan also looked mocking, quietly waiting for it to begin, as if watching a monkey show.
