Remould the Glory of Sword Art

However, this battle revealed an even more important piece of information—

That is, Xie Zhen's strength has a very high probability of overwhelming these Grotto Heavens who attended the Sword Qi Ceremony.

If he truly has an interest in participating in the competition.

Then... based on tonight's performance in battle, it seems that the only one with the power to fight him would be Prince Jiangning, Xie Sheng.

"It seems that the Law Enforcement results from Golden Turtle Peak are about to be announced..."

"In that case, isn't it a good thing that Xie Zhen is not participating in the Sword Qi Ceremony?"

"Regardless, the matter of the Lotus Jade Order must be explained to everyone."

For a time, the peaks in charge of reception at True Hidden Peak were buzzing with discussion.

Prince Jiangning hoped that Xie Zhen would participate in the Sword Qi Ceremony—

But the vast majority of people were against the idea.

Who would want to face Xie Zhen?

With just a wooden stick, he effortlessly defeated Jing Qingming, which indicates strength of at least the fifth level of Grotto Heaven, if not higher!

In such a tense and anxious atmosphere, many chose to watch and wait.

They were all waiting for the public announcement from Golden Turtle Peak.

...

...

Huang Su was no different.

She had already been at Golden Turtle Peak for half the night.

After leaving Xie Zhen's residence, she rushed to the back mountain of Golden Turtle Peak... She knew Qi Lie would lead a group of Law Enforcers to investigate the Lotus Jade Order incident, and she knew that many people would be watching tonight's drama.

Huang Su knew that this issue would definitely be "resolved."

But perhaps it wouldn't have to be so troublesome.

A word from someone with enough authority would suffice.

Many problems would be solved easily.

With the Pure Yang Sect Leader in seclusion and Sealing Mountains, naturally, there was only one person with enough authority.

The Tongtian Law Enforcer.

"Sect Uncle Mountain Master, you should go back."

A disciple from Golden Turtle Peak emerged from the clouds on the back mountain. He bowed and earnestly said, "The back mountain of Golden Turtle Peak is forbidden ground. Unless the Law Enforcer personally issues a command, even you, Sect Uncle, are not allowed to enter."

"It's okay, I'll wait a bit longer."

Huang Su's expression was calm.

She was very clear.

No need for anyone to report.

The moment she stood before the back mountain, the Law Enforcer inside already knew.

She wanted to seek an audience tonight.

And without a decree... that was the Law Enforcer's reply.

No audience.

"Sect Uncle Mountain Master..."

The disciple from Golden Turtle Peak looked troubled, wanting to urge her further, but Huang Su brushed her sleeve, indicating there was no need for more words.

In the entire Da Sui Sword Palace, from top to bottom, no one did not know of the new Lotus Peak Master's stubborn nature.

Thus, the disciple obediently closed his mouth, respectfully stood to the side, and chose to keep Huang Su company in the "standoff."

Before long.

Several golden streams of light fell in front of Golden Turtle Peak.

When the golden light touched down, the disciple who had been waiting with Huang Su's mood suddenly brightened, and he showed an excited light, immediately stepping forward: "Uncle Master Qi... Mountain Master Huang Su has been waiting at the back mountain for a long time."

Golden Turtle Peak is the second-ranked main peak of Da Sui Sword Palace.

The forbidden area of the back mountain is normally only inhabited and cultivated by the Law Enforcer.

In recent years, only one person could enter without reporting beforehand—

That person was Qi Lie!

The Law Enforcer favored Qi Lie for a simple reason.

Qi Lie's personality was nearly identical to that of the Law Enforcer in his youth.

Just as resolute, just as stubborn.

This behavior was actually a silent reminder to everyone... that after a few years, the position of "Mountain Master" of Golden Turtle Peak would be passed on to Qi Lie.

Qi Lie landed before the back mountain and waved his hand to dismiss everyone.

He looked at Huang Su and spoke evenly: "Junior Sister, since the Master does not wish to see you, why insist on waiting bitterly?"

Huang Su's expression turned slightly complex as she looked at Qi Lie.

Si Qi called her Junior Sister.

She would respond with a Flying Sword—

Because the time difference between their induction into the Sword Palace was barely the length of a tea ceremony.

She would not accept it.

But when Qi Lie called her Junior Sister, she had no choice but to accept it.

Huang Su knew that historically, Lotus Peak only had four True Disciples.

Zhou Zhiren, Xie Xuanyi, Jiang Miaoyin, Qi Lie.

Before she and Si Qi were taken to Lotus Peak, Qi Lie had been the most favored "little junior brother."

"At Golden Turtle Peak, we value 'a clear conscience,'"

Huang Su lifted her head and said earnestly, "Bestowing the Lotus Jade Command to Xie Zhen, I have a clear conscience, so both emotionally and rationally, I should pay a visit to Golden Turtle Peak."

"If you have a clear conscience, then you just need to return home and wait."

Qi Lie said softly, "Junior Sister should know that Golden Turtle Peak has always enforced the law impartially... especially this time, with the Sword Qi ceremony, where the main examiner is myself."

"There are some things you don't understand."

Huang Su shook her head, "I want to meet with the Law Enforcement Head."

If she could have the Tongtian Law Enforcement Head personally declare that the jade order was in compliance with the laws, then all the questions would dissipate like smoke in the wind.

"Junior Sister should not underestimate Golden Turtle Peak too much."

Qi Lie extended his finger, pointing towards the sky, and slowly said, "Perhaps... the Law Enforcement Master knows everything?"

This one sentence conveyed a lot of information.

Huang Su was momentarily stunned.

"Junior Sister should not overthink things, go back and rest well."

Qi Lie's gaze was gentle and he whispered, "... the Law Enforcement Master not seeing you isn't because he doesn't want to see you."

"Why would you say that?" Huang Su's eyes flashed with a sharp glint.

Qi Lie extended his hand, gently patted his junior sister's shoulder to reassure her, "The matter of 'Lotus Jade Command' is a minor issue, and the uproar will subside by tomorrow. The Master isn't seeing you because there's no need... Moreover, the Master needs to meet with a very important person tonight."

"A very important person?"

This sentence contained even more information than the previous one.

Huang Su's expression suddenly became vivid.

What kind of being was the Tongtian Law Enforcement Head?

A top figure in the Yang God Realm!

Nowadays, with the Pure Yang Sect Leader in seclusion, the entire Da Sui Sword Palace relies on him to support it!

The "very important person" who could merit a personal reception by the Tongtian Law Enforcement Head...

Clearly,

most likely, was also a Yang God Realm entity.

"A Yang God has come to the Da Sui Sword Palace this time for the mountain opening?"

As the acting mountain lord of Lotus Peak, although Huang Su was young and had only recently advanced to the Yin God Realm, apart from her own realm, she still had a series of "privilege bonuses" due to her status as mountain lord, such as the Sword Qi Decree left by the Sect Leader, and the superior Spiritual Treasure "Brushing Clouds" among others... With these privilege bonuses, she thought she had a thorough understanding of the Da Sui Sword Palace.

But if Qi Lie had not spoken out tonight,

she would have had no idea that such a person had arrived at the Sword Palace!

Even now, standing before the mist behind Golden Turtle Peak, not the slightest ripple had stirred in her Heart Lake.

"It's not that your brother is hiding it from you,"

Qi Lie spoke calmly, "It's just that the identity of this 'very important person' really isn't convenient to reveal."

"Brother, there's no need to say more... I understand,"

Huang Su reacted quickly.

In the entire Dachu Dynasty, plus Da Li, there were only so many Yang Gods.

Each could be called a "living immortal."

These Yang Gods were no longer just independent "individuals."

They represented the families and sects behind them.

In this situation, every word and action, every move they make, attracts the attention of countless people... if they wish, they can easily stir up great waves in the mundane world.

And now, it was actually a special period.

For ten years, since the Pure Yang Sect Leader went into seclusion, and Da Sui Sword Palace sealed the mountain,

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that all of this was related to the "Xuanyi Case."

And the other end of the "Xuanyi Case" was entangled with the Dachu Royal Family... This time the Da Sui Sword Palace unsealed the mountain, and the Dachu Royal Family only sent a simple congratulatory message without sending anyone.

No one knew what would happen next.

Before the Dachu Royal Family made their stance clear, the truly top figures would not show their intentions too early.

Perhaps, this was the reason for the visit of that very important person?

One thought after another flashed through Huang Su's mind, she didn't know if her guesses were right... but she knew, the arrival of such a high-level figure at the Da Sui Sword Palace, and their private meeting with the Law Enforcement Head behind Golden Turtle Peak, should be considered a "secret visit."

At such a moment, her insistence on a meeting was indeed too impolite.

She looked somewhat embarrassed and quickly bowed to her brother Qi Lie.

"... In any case, thank you for tonight."

After expressing her thanks, Huang Su quickly mounted her sword and left.

The stone in her heart had finally settled.

The words Qi Lie had transmitted previously, while ambiguous, conveyed a very clear message.

It seemed that she need not worry about the Lotus Jade Command matter... Xie Zhen, that lad, was really quite capable, to have even "handled" the law enforcement of Golden Turtle Peak!

"..."

Qi Lie watched as the sword qi and flowing light carrying Brushing Clouds departed, he shook his head slightly, and silently walked into the mist behind Golden Turtle Peak.
