Chapter 84: Who Gave You The Courage To Say That?

Five minutes ago.

Outside Qingzhou Ancient City.

There were still about ten days to go before the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.

The entire Qingzhou Ancient City was already crowded with people, and the prices of food at restaurants had already surged. The Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time was much livelier than the previous meets.

Even the prestigious sects and geniuses of the Jin Nation were there.

However, the liveliest event was the sword platform outside the city.

The young man in black had already won 245 rounds so far.

Until now, he hadn’t lost a single round.

In fact, in the end, even the expert Sword Dao cultivators of the older generations couldn’t help but challenge him.

However, for the sake of fairness, they didn’t use any Dharmic powers and simply fought with sword techniques and sword momentum.

However, even so, no one defeated that young man.

That was also the reason that the entire Jin Nation began to pay attention to this matter. In fact, even the imperial court of Jin Nation had heard about it and especially sent people to observe.

The young man in black had already become a popular figure.

Some were glad, some were not.

The young man in black was delighted to have stolen the limelight, but the one who had it worst was the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect.

The Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect was the best in Qingzhou and no matter what, they would have to intervene and stop that young man from gaining too much clout.

However, the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect had lost terribly and only one of the disciples of the younger generation didn’t join.

It was not because he was preparing for the finale, but because he couldn’t afford to embarrass himself and the sect.

Anyone could tell that none of the disciples of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect could trump the young man in black, and they would only end up dying.

Hence, they might as well choose to sit out as they would at least get to save some pride.

At this time, outside the city gate.

The disciples of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect all looked rather dejected.

They were really upset and their eyes were full of shame.

The disciples of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect were all famous figures in the previous Sword Dao Meets.

They dominated the place and were formidable tyrants.

However, this time, it was different because they had been defeated into submission.

The disciples of the younger generation were all embarrassed, and previously, they were still thinking about winning the championship.

Now, it seemed that they would be considered lucky if they could make it to the top ten.

Thinking of this, the crowd felt even worse.

“Is my Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect really going to be utterly embarrassed?”

Some disciples couldn’t help but speak up, their expressions and words full of indignation and misery.

“Ah, who would have thought that this Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet would actually attract such a powerful expert?”

“Yeah, this person is seriously absurd. Not only did the disciples of the younger generation fail to defeat him, but even those of the older generation couldn’t defeat him either. His attainments in the Sword Dao are unimaginable. How can there be such a person in this world?”

They whispered while someone squeezed in awkwardly.

“Actually, it’s not a difficult task to defeat this young man in black.”

Someone in the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect suddenly said.

Hearing his words, all the disciples couldn’t help but look at this person with their eyes full of curiosity.

“What method is it?”

Everyone was curious.

“Do you guys remember… the inspection commander?”

The disciple’s tone was calm, but his voice was also very soft, so much that only the disciples of his sect could hear him.

Everyone came to a sudden realization after hearing that.

“You mean the inspection commander was the one who did that?”

“Yes. If the inspection commander attacks, why would he need a sword? The terrifying sword momentum and power of the commander would be able to kill him.”

“Yes, yes. If Elder Su were here, there would be no need to attack at all.”

Everyone discussed softly, looking extremely excited.

“But so what if Senior Su is here? Will Senior Su fight against him? Wouldn’t that be humiliating for Senior Su?”

Someone said.

There was some truth in this statement.

“There’s no need for Senior Su to fight. As long as Senior Su gives me a few pointers, I can defeat this person.”

Someone said, thinking that if Su Changyu appeared here, there was no need for him to personally attack as he could just teach them some moves.

“What? You need pointers? I’m not bragging, but Senior Su is a supreme Sword Dao expert. As long as he draws a sword mark on the ground, I’ll ascend immediately and comprehend the supreme sword technique.”

“Haha, you want him to draw a sword mark? I just need Senior Su to take a look at me and I can comprehend the invincible sword technique immediately. I can defeat that young man in black with one move.”

“What a joke, with your aptitude, what’s the point of talking about practicing the Sword Dao? As long as Senior Su is within a thousand-mile radius, I don’t even need to look at him. I can ascend just by sensing his sword intent.”

The few disciples began to brag again.

Since they were getting embarrassed anyway, they might as well have some fun too.

While they were bragging to each other, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

That team was very eye-catching.

The ancient beast warhorses were basically the standard for the royal family, although some powerful big shots might also purchase them. However, the fact that there were so many meant that they were royals.

How could the appearance of royals not catch the attention of everyone?

At this moment, all eyes were on the warhorses.

All the cultivators’ eyes were full of curiosity because they didn’t know who the person in the carriage was.

At this moment…

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the city.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of cultivators, someone stepped out.

It was Li Yu.

He was the first to walk out and was ignoring the gazes cast on him because he had already gotten used to it.

Su Changyu then walked over with Ye Ping behind him.

However, when Su Changyu came down, the disciples of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect looked at him in astonishment.

“Senior… Senior… Senior Su?”

“Is he Senior Su?”

“Look, is that person on the carriage Senior Su?”

The disciples of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect widened their eyes in shock.

They were a little astonished.

They really didn’t expect to really meet Su Changyu there and what shocked them further was seeing Su Changyu get out of such a carriage.

‘He’s obviously the inspection commander.’

The ancient warhorse was the standard mount of royals and Su Changyu got out of a carriage reigned to those warhorses.

It was concrete evidence.

‘He is the inspection commander.’

‘The Sect Leader has got a discerning eye.’

“Senior Su is indeed the inspection commander. Previously, we were apprehensive about what the elder said, but it seems to be true.”

“Indeed, Senior Su likes to keep up the pretense. Previously, I even suspected that he had made a wrong judgment, but it seems I was overthinking.”

“The Sect Leader is right, the inspection commander is extremely low-profile and good at disguise. When I met Senior Su previously, he seemed ordinary, but now, it seems that it’s not that Senior Su is a good-for-nothing. He’s just good at acting and I almost fell for it.”

“Cut the crap, let’s go over there, don’t be rude.”

“No, didn’t the Sect Leader say that we should not let Senior Su know that we’ve discovered his identity?”

The Four Thunder Sword Sect disciples all looked extremely excited. Most of them were actually apprehensive about Su Changyu’s identity.

However, now that they saw Su Changyu walking down from this kind of carriage, they were completely convinced that Su Changyu was the inspection commander of Jin Nation.

However, there were also disciples who kept calm and told the crowd not to mess up.

“Are you silly? Can’t we just treat him as a senior? As long as we don’t say that we know he is the inspector commander, Senior Su won’t know that we’ve already found out.”

A disciple hurriedly spoke up and explained.

“Yes, let’s treat Senior Su as an ordinary senior. Cut the crap and hurry over.”

After the disciple said that, he scurried towards Su Changyu.

They were extremely agitated and their eyes were full of excitement.

At this moment, Su Changyu stepped out of the carriage, and before he could take a breath of fresh air, a voice caught his attention.

“Senior Su, hurry and save us. We’re about to embarrass Qingzhou thoroughly.”

As a figure rushed in, the gaze in the eyes of Li Yu’s escorts turned cold as they were all vigilant.

However, seeing that the other party was a disciple of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect, they relaxed a little.

The disciples of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect walked towards Su Changyu and bowed to him respectfully.

All of a sudden, the onlookers were surprised and even Xu Qiubai and the others who had just alighted from the carriage were astonished too.

The Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect was the best Sword Dao sect in Qingzhou.

The Sect Leader, Daoist Siji, rose to fame in Jin Nation because of the Four Thunder Sword Technique and was now the top Sword Dao powerhouse in Qingzhou too. He could be considered a famous figure of status.

On the other hand, the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect was a first-grade Sword Dao Sect in Jin Nation. Although it was inferior to the Lijian Villa, they were definitely competent.

However, what surprised Xu Qiubai and the other was that the disciples of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect were extremely respectful towards Su Changyu.

They were in awe, as if they had seen some big shot.

That was strange.

Xu Qiubai could see through Su Changyu’s cultivation level at a glance.

He was only at the fifth level of Qi Refinement.

In the Lijian Villa, he wouldn’t qualify to be an outer sect disciple at all.

Yet, why would the prestigious Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect disciples be so respectful towards him?

‘Is Su Changyu… really a hidden expert?’

Xu Qiubai was full of curiosity. As the young master of the Lijian Villa, he had heard the elders talk about it.

Some peerless experts just liked pretending to be ordinary cultivators to train in the secular world.

Hence, all of a sudden, Xu Qiubai was confused.

Changsun Gaozhan, Nie Xin, and the two fairies of the Heavenly Apparel Pavilion were also all curious.

However, as the person in question, Su Changyu was a little dumbfounded.

‘Who are these people?’

‘Why do they know me?’

‘Also, why are they calling me Senior?’

‘Could it be that this group of people know that I used to be one of the top 500 in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet?’

Su Changyu was dumbstruck.

However, the more confused he was, the more indifferent he seemed.

Su Changyu was puzzled about his abilities too.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, his indifference and aura were that of an expert.

‘Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect?’

At the next moment, Su Changyu came to a sudden realization when he saw the clothes that the disciples were wearing.

‘Wait…’

‘These people are the disciples of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect. Why are they looking at me?’

‘Save them?’

‘How?’

‘Also, what does it matter to me if Qingzhou loses its pride?’

Su Changyu was in a state of extreme confusion.

However, the disciples of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect mistakenly thought that Su Changyu was just aloof.

They immediately seemed embarrassed. After all, forcing Su Changyu to help was indeed a bit too excessive.

However, some disciples still couldn’t help but speak up…

“Senior Su, we know that you don’t like keeping a high profile, but we’re helpless. That man in black has set up a sword platform and won more than 200 rounds in a row. He even defeated many disciples of Qingzhou.”

“That person does not look like a cultivator of Qingzhou. This was intentional. They just want to suppress the confidence of the Sword Dao disciples of Qingzhou. Such behavior is really overboard. I hope you will help us.”

A slightly older disciple could not help but speak up righteously while crying, as if he was doing it for the entire Qingzhou and not just himself.

“Senior Su, please help save the pride of Qingzhou.”

The rest of the disciples also followed suit and spoke up to plead for Su Changyu’s help.

That behavior made countless onlookers curious.

“Who’s this? Why are the disciples of the Four Thunder Swordsmanship Sect so respectful towards him?”

“I don’t know, but it seems that he should be a supreme Sword Dao expert.”

“A supreme Sword Dao expert? It can’t be, right? His cultivation level is only at the fifth level of Qi Refinement, is that considered an expert too?”

“Yeah, and he’s so young, he’s at most 24 or 25 years old, how can he be a Sword Dao expert?”

They were all discussing curiously about Su Changyu’s identity. Some people thought that he was a supreme Sword Dao master, but soon, many vetoed that idea.

However, soon, different voices sounded.

“How silly, the real experts are hidden, how can you see through them easily?”

“Exactly, there are a lot of supreme experts these days who like to hide their cultivation level. He seems to be at level 5 on the surface, but he’s very likely to be a Mahayana cultivator.”

“Yes, yes, yes, he’s a Qi Refinement cultivator on the surface, but he’s actually a Greater Mastery cultivator. I have a friend who once met such an expert who pretended to be a beggar. My friend gave him a pancake out of kindness, but that expert revealed his identity and gave my friend a hundred pancakes. Isn’t that impressive?”

“Now I remember, that expert fed him the pancake too, right?”

“He even invited him to his home.”

“What are you guys babbling about? Indeed, you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Cultivators at higher realms can modify their own realm, this man has an extraordinary aura. I doubt he’s at the Qi Refinement realm.”

“Me too. He can’t have such an aura at the Qi Refinement realm. His aura is splendid. To be honest, I once learned some skill and this person does seem like a king.”

The people were discussing fervently, and some were analyzing carefully while some were babbling nonsense. There was a variety of opinions.

However, standing below the carriage, Su Changyu was vexed.

He didn’t expect them to want him to challenge the young man in black.

‘I’m just a loser. How can I challenge someone who has won more than 200 consecutive rounds?’

‘How can they say that?’

‘Who gave you the courage to say such words?’

However, before Su Changyu could say anything…

All of a sudden, the dense crowd parted to clear up a passage.

500 meters ahead, a young man in black was standing under a passage and looking at Su Changyu from afar.
