Chapter 376: Bustling Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak!

But Su Yi had no other choice. The remaining empty Sword Caves were all located on the highest level of Divine Sword Cliff. The required points to enter them were most likely not attainable even with the Xu Jiahui badge's accumulated points.

Initially, Su Yi had hoped to witness the remnants of the past masters of the Divine Sword School on the Divine Sword Cliff. However, at present, he could only chuckle wryly to himself as he had no other option but to venture within.

"Swoosh..."

Su Yi stepped into the light screen, and as his figure disappeared within it, the badge remained suspended in midair, hidden from view.

The radiance before his eyes suddenly dimmed slightly, but his vision remained clear. Su Yi gazed at the Sword Cave, which was quite spacious inside, except for a mottled old cushion, there was nothing else present.

Within the Sword Cave, it appears that a certain peculiar arrangement has been employed, lending an air of remarkable complexity to the spatial domain therein.

Inside the Sword Cave, a mural was engraved on one of the stone walls, depicting a figure holding a precious sword.

...

The night settled like a grim, vast shroud over the entire ancient land.

The brilliant moonlight set against the sky, creating a vast expanse, while the distant mountains faded into the darkness of the night.

"Roarrrr..."

The earth was asleep, the night breeze was gentle, and in the distance, the only sounds to be heard were occasional animal roars. On the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, there was a silent stillness.

A figure silently appeared on the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, without a sound, as if by magic.

This person arrived stealthily, but inexplicably, with the appearance of this old man, the surrounding space seemed to have solidified.

This is an elderly man with thin cheeks, deeply wrinkled with the marks of time. Long eyebrows and a few white whiskers float backward, giving him an air of celestial elegance.

The elderly man's eyes shone especially bright in the night sky. He looked around, then suddenly, he lifted his gaze and looked behind him.

A figure quietly appeared behind the old man. He was around sixty years old with serious black long hair tied up neatly into a bun on top of his head. His eyebrows, silvery in hue and clearly visible under the moonlight, were rather striking.

In the slightly sunken eye sockets of the old person, a pair of deep brown eyes were profound and boundless, as if they could speak of the vicissitudes of time.

"Lv Baimai, what brings you to the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak?"

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the old man with white eyebrows, the complexion of the white-bearded elder immediately soured, and he opened his mouth slightly, his tone seemingly devoid of any good humor.

"Yu Changqing, then what are you doing at the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak? It seems inappropriate for you to be running around at this late hour, without a proper reason that matches your status."

Lv Baimai said in a faint voice, and the expression on his face seemed to be quite unsightly, similar to that of Elder Yu Changqing.

"I..."

Upon hearing the words, Yu Changqing was momentarily rendered speechless.

Soon, a smile appeared on the slender and wrinkled face of Elder Yu Changqing, and his gaze softened as he chuckled softly and said, "I came to see Elder Su. After all, everyone knows about the relationship between Elder Su and me in the Divine Sword School."

"Nonsense, everyone knows that Elder Su hasn't been at the gate these days, what's the point of you coming to see Elder Su?"

Elder Yu Changqing had only just finished speaking when Lv Baimai immediately launched a vicious and completely uncivil diatribe.

"Do I need your approval to come to the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak? You came here in the dead of night regardless, did you not?" Elder Yu Changqing's gaze flickered, realizing he could no longer deceive this old follow and therefore ceased his politeness.

"Haha, the two elders are here as well."

Suddenly, another voice rang out clear and vibrant.

As the sound fell, a figure appeared out of nowhere beside Elder Lv Baimai and Elder Yu Changqing.

This person appeared much younger compared to the two elders. He seemed to be not more than 50 years old, with shining black eyes that resembled obsidian, and exuded a sharp and fearless aura even in the moonlit night. Though his eyes appeared calm, they concealed an intense gaze akin to that of a bird of prey.

He looked middle-aged, with deep and strong facial features, exuding a handsome and dignified aura that suggests he must have been a charming young man in his prime. Yet now, in the midst of middle age, he exudes an added sense of maturity and composure.

Although this middle-aged man may appear younger than Elder Lv Baimai and Elder Yu Changqing, his current demeanor and presence are no less than that of the two aforementioned individuals.

"Shangguan Hu, what brings you to the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak?"

"Why are you here at this time of night, Shangguan Hu?"

Gazing at the handsome middle-aged man approaching, the two elders, Lv Baimai and Yu Changqing, almost simultaneously and with shared animosity, fixed their unwelcoming gazes upon Shangguan Hu's figure.

"I came to see if Elder Su has returned or not..."

Shangguan Hu replied to the two without leaving a trace of emotion on his face, but his gaze was secretly scanning the surroundings.

"Amazingly, all three elders have arrived. What a coincidence."

A faint voice echoed and then a figure appeared.

"Has Elder Duan also come?"

Looking at the incoming person, Shangguan Hu lifted his gaze. Although his expression was secretly changing, his attitude was quite good.

An elderly woman arrived, with a face of kindness and vicissitudes, her once youthful long hair no longer black but instead silver strands, partially covered and partially obscured. Her facial features, however, were extremely vibrant and full of radiance.

"What brings you here, Duan Yuerong?"

"Duan Yuerong, have you also come?"

However, the attitudes of Elder Lv Baimai and Elder Yu Changqing were far from good, as they cast a casual glance at the old woman.

"Can you all come and I cannot? This Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak is not exclusive to you. That's ridiculous."

Observing the attitudes of Elder Lv Baimai and Elder Yu Changqing, Elder Duan Yuerong's demeanor also appeared displeased.

"What about Mei Huaye?"

Regarding Elder Duan Yuerong's attitude, Elder Lv Baimai seems not to care at all. He raised his eyebrows and continued to ask her about it.

"How would I know? I don't have much of a relationship with him!" Elder Duan Yuerong said with an unpleasant expression on her face.

"Bad news! Mei Huaye must want to get ahead of us, so Duan Yuerong is deliberately slowing us down."

Suddenly, it seems that Yu Changqing has discovered something. With a flash, his figure immediately transforms into a bolt of lightning and directly swoops toward a courtyard ahead.

"Welcome, Elder Mei..."

In the courtyard, around ten outer disciples of the Thirty-Sixth Sword Peak, led by Xu Jiahui, were shaking and kneeling down in reverence, and their eyes were filled with awe.

In the courtyard, there was an old man with a small goatee, sunken hazel eyes, and long disheveled grey-white hair. He was staring at Xu Jiahui and other outer disciples while carefully surveying something, and asked, "Who is Su Yi?"

"Um..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiahui trembled violently and her complexion turned pale. The beauty on her originally fair face faded away instantly.
