Remould the Glory of Sword Art

"You…"

The Island Master of Wangyou Island looked at the Tongtian Law Enforcer, finding himself momentarily at a loss for words, and could only sit back angrily behind the stone table.

Body Refinement Martial Artists, often domineering and reckless, heedless of consequences.

Fighting with the Tongtian Law Enforcer didn't scare him in the least; in fact, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

But if this fight were to truly alarm Pure Yang, then it would not be a fight but a beating.

As the saying goes, one must bow their head under another's roof.

"Let it be."

After a long while, this warrior of Wangyou Island sighed heavily, feigned nonchalance with a wave of his hand, and pretended to give in, "…Children will eventually grow up, and having their own thoughts is a good thing. If he really wants to learn swordsmanship and wishes to join Da Sui Sword Palace, it's better than running off to Nanli."

"In fact, I noticed your child the moment he entered the mountain. This youth has robust physical roots and excellent talent, suitable for learning the sword."

The straightforward Tongtian Law Enforcer took the bait, "Which Peak Master does he like? I'll let him directly become a disciple under him."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the Island Master of Wangyou Island squinted and smiled, "Are you serious?"

"Of course…"

Right after uttering these words, the Law Enforcer slightly frowned, sensing a hint of unease rippling through his Heart Lake.

"This boy has always been very opinionated."

The Island Master of Wangyou Island said earnestly: "He is fond of Xie Xuanyi. Years ago on the island, he insisted on learning swordsmanship, so I made up a set of swordsmanship claiming it was personally passed down by Xie Xuanyi... He revered it like a treasure, and practiced it cluelessly for several years, cherishing it deeply. Tongtian brother, what's wrong?"

Onto hearing the name 'Xie Xuanyi', the Tongtian Law Enforcer nearly spat out a mouthful of tea.

He glared at the martial artist in front of him, irritated, "Mr. Duan, are you deliberately provoking me? Where am I supposed to find Xie Xuanyi for you!"

"Should I just bring him back to Wangyou Island then?"

Master Duan laughed heartily, repeating his trick, "A father always handles his own son, to save you the trouble…"

"Xie Xuanyi perished in the North Sea; it has been ten years."

At this moment, the Tongtian Law Enforcer had a complex expression, "If this young lad traveled thousands of miles to Da Sui Sword Palace to become Xie Xuanyi's disciple, he's bound to fetch water with a bamboo basket… However, if he is willing to enter Lotus Peak, the sword techniques and Dao scriptures studied by Xie Xuanyi during his cultivation at Sword Palace would naturally be open to him."

The Island Master of Wangyou Island asked with a smile, "Sword techniques, Dao scriptures, are these rare things?"

The Dao scriptures of Da Sui Sword Palace are treasures beyond reach for mountain vagrants and loose cultivators!

However, for the Island Master of Wangyou Island, this Yang God-level figure,

Although not as profound as Sword Palace,

Such treasures are certainly available on the Island, and comparatively, he would not show inferiority.

"Master Duan, you have come in person this time; there must be a deeper meaning…"

The Tongtian Law Enforcer picked up the teacup, slowly raising his head to look directly into the eyes of the martial artist in front of him, and said word by word, "Both of us are crude men; if there's anything to say, feel free to speak frankly."

"Pah, who is a crude man?"

The Island Master of Wangyou Island retorted with a laugh, then quickly put away his smile: "But you do know me well…"

He paused for a moment, then slowly asked: "Is Xie Xuanyi truly dead?"

"Truly."

The Tongtian Law Enforcer was calm: "Ten years ago, many saw him exhaust his primordial energy and perish in the North Sea."

"I've personally come to Da Sui, can you give me some different insider information?"

The Island Master of Wangyou Island sighed, "Brother Law Enforcer, rest assured, Duan's journey has been securely discreet, Wangyou Island has always been isolated from the world, and has no ties with the Da Chu Royal Family... This visit is purely a personal act."

"You know, being a father, I always want to do my best for my son; this kid just inexplicably admires Xie Xuanyi, and I really can't stop him, so I can only let him come."

He rambled on with these words.

The Tongtian Law Enforcer listened until he felt a headache coming on, unable to help but interrupt, "So you came to Sword Palace, to tell me that Xie Xuanyi is alive, so your son can become Xie Xuanyi's disciple?"

"…Cough, cough."

The Island Master of Wangyou Island coughed lightly. He didn't specify, but everything was evident in his silence.

"You must really be mad."

The Law Enforcer coldly said, "Xie Xuanyi is dead, not even a celestial being can change that. Advising him to become a disciple of Pure Yang would be more realistic than this."

"I actually wouldn't mind him becoming a disciple of Pure Yang, it's just that Pure Yang is too old…"

The Island Master of Wangyou Island explained helplessly, "Don't get me wrong, there's no other meaning. It's just that in the eyes of today's youth, these 'important people' of advanced age simply can't compare to the allure of Xie Xuanyi."

The Law Enforcer had nothing to say.

Because what the Island Master of Wangyou Island said was the truth.

In that grand era ten years ago, Xie Xuanyi stole all the limelight… Who wouldn't like such a youthful Sword Champion?

"How could you entertain such an idea? Could it be that you believe Xie Xuanyi actually didn't die, and Sword Palace has been sealing the mountain these years to 'shelter and conceal' him?"

The Law Enforcer furrowed his brows and said, "Let me tell you the truth, it doesn't matter if you came here in person or even a Daluo Golden Immortal arrived... This isn't an issue of losing face, Xie Xuanyi truly is dead."

"Is that so…"

The Island Master of Wangyou Island knew the man's character.

This person was always straightforward, never lied, nor did he bother to lie.

He had received his "answer".

"Regardless, thank you for your generous hospitality tonight, the tea at Da Sui is good, better than in previous years."

This middle-aged warrior stood up, his gaze meaningfully directed toward Lotus Peak, "My boy has grown up, I'm too lazy to meddle. If he insists on staying, just let him enter Lotus Peak."

The Law Enforcer stood up with his hands behind his back, aligning himself with the Island Master of Wangyou Island.

"Pure Yang has been in seclusion for a while now."

The Law Enforcer reminded, "According to Sword Palace rules, entering Lotus Peak, he can probably only take Peak Master Huang Su as his master."

"Better than entering Golden Turtle Peak."

The Island Master of Wangyou Island did not mince words and said with a smile, "You, Da Sui Sword Palace, relish having this precious disciple; just don't think about tying him down. I'm still hoping he'll return to the island in a few years to continue the family business. If this boy follows you, when will he have the days to return to the island?"

The Law Enforcer's expression was complex.

This statement was just a tease, but he took it to heart.

Ever since he took up the position of Golden Turtle Peak Master, he had hardly ever left the Sword Palace.

The Sword Palace is an umbrella that reaches to the heavens, holding aloft a clear sky for the millions of Sword Cultivators in Da Chu—

The Sect Leader is the canopy of the umbrella, shielding it from wind and rain.

And he was like the ribs beneath the canopy.

He was the backbone, the pillar, like a straight sword pointing directly to the sky, and it was because of this that the great umbrella had stood so firmly for so many years.

The perseverance of generations of Law Enforcers from Golden Turtle Peak could not be disregarded.

Generations of Law Enforcement Masters were the shadows standing behind the Sect Leader—

"Right. That Princely Heir from Jiangning, do you need my help dealing with him?"

Suddenly, the Island Master of Wangyou Island spoke up.

The Tongtian Law Enforcement Master regained his senses.

"I heard that, over the years, the Xie Family from Jiangning has climbed up the ranks of a formidable 'big shot' within the Imperial City."

The Island Master of Wangyou Island said softly, "Since I've come all the way to Da Chu, I should stretch my limbs a bit... There's no fun fighting with you, I was thinking of finding someone else to have a fight."

"You're going to the Imperial City to fight?"

The Tongtian Law Enforcement Master was startled by this statement.

In recent days, the case files about the changes in Qing State had spread far and wide.

King You Hai, Chu Lin, wanted to sacrifice Lichao City to ascend as a Yang God and then seize the Dao Pen—

If successful.

Chu Lin would enter the Imperial City as a Yang God!

Now… a month has just passed since the Qing State upheaval.

At such a time, any Yang God attempting to set foot in the Imperial City would likely attract immense attention.

"Don't worry, it's just a fight, no hard feelings."

The Island Master of Wangyou Island smiled, saying, "I've already informed the Holy Empress, and she welcomed me to come and also welcomed me to spar with anyone in the Imperial City."

"I don't even know what to call you."

The Tongtian Law Enforcement Master said, somberly, "Are you too carefree, or do you simply not care? The Da Chu Imperial City is not so easy to enter, even my brother, Pure Yang, wouldn't dare to enter it alone."

"You are you, and I am me."

The Island Master of Wangyou Island said indifferently, "The Da Sui Sword Palace has long been situated within the territory of the Da Chu Dynasty. For the Holy Empress, this sword is too sharp; if she cannot hold it in her hand, it's better to blunt its edges… Wangyou Island is different, whether it's Da Li or Da Chu, if they want to kill me, they must consider another issue, that is, if they kill me, what will they do about my wife on the island? Instead of scheming, it's better to invite me over for tea."

"As the saying goes, those close to me are foes, those far from me guests."

The Island Master of Wangyou Island looked at the Law Enforcement Master with a light smile, "Isn't that the logic?"

"It is the logic, but it's definitely not something a crude martial artist like you could come up with."

The Law Enforcement Master tilted his head slightly, his tone mocking, "Your wife must have taught you well. I suggest this time when you go to the Imperial City, you might as well visit Chen Jingxuan at the library for a drink; he would definitely be glad to invite you… to be precise, to invite your wife."

"What a coincidence, my wife said the same thing."

The Island Master of Wangyou Island not only wasn't shamed by this but took pride in it, smiling happily, "How many in the world can cultivate the art of divination to such a level? Since she won't leave the island, it might as well be me who pays respects to the Little National Master of Da Chu with a drink… but if I really go, it won't be for tea, but for booze. A crude person like me really isn't patient enough to drink tea, I should drink liquor."

Saying this, he glanced at the empty teacup beside him, which was quickly emptied.

The two had been talking up to now, referring to themselves as crude people.

But who is truly crude?

It was blatantly obvious.

"Don't look at me, I quit drinking long ago."

The Law Enforcement Master lowered his eyes and said softly, "You saw that disciple just now; he doesn't let me drink."

"It's been over a decade since we last met, and you've indeed changed a lot."

The Island Master of Wangyou Island murmured, "I vaguely remember the last time we met, we drank quite a bit and had a spirited fight… The gift you left behind, you lad actually sent it all back to Wangyou Island unopened."

The Law Enforcement Master sneered, shaking his head, "Who would want your manuals of fist techniques?"

"You won't even take my things."

The Island Master of Wangyou Island turned his head, looking at the Law Enforcement Master seriously, "Is the flying sword from the Xie Family of Jiangning better than my fist techniques?"

"You don't understand."

The Law Enforcement Master spoke softly, his eyes filled with a touch of melancholy, "To me, even if the Supreme Taoist Treasure were laid before me, it wouldn't mean much... The reason I sent a message to let him keep that set of Flying Swords was to see how he would choose."

As the words fell, the set of Golden Cloud Mysterious Thunder hovering over the chessboard trembled gently.

The value of this set of Flying Swords.

At the moment of his utterance, had already been exhausted.

The Law Enforcement Master gently waved his sleeve—

With a swish!

This set of Golden Cloud Mysterious Thunder Flying Swords, uncontrollably enveloped in a forceful Qi, surged forward into the Purple Bamboo Forest, and in an instant, stirred up dense, intense Sword Intent!

The quality of these Flying Swords was extremely high!

But within the Purple Bamboo Forest of Golden Turtle Peak, their bodies collided with countless Sword Qi, resembling a blacksmith swinging his heavy hammer, sparking a burst of dazzling light, and to everyone's surprise, this set of top-quality Flying Swords erupted at this moment with the most spectacular fire of its life. After a moment, the fire died out, and the Golden Cloud Mysterious Thunder was broken by an invisible pressure, falling to the ground one after another, completely turning into scrap metal.

"The sword I truly intended to gift him, how could mere 'Golden Cloud Mysterious Thunder' be comparable?"

The Law Enforcement Master glanced at the clouds in the Purple Bamboo Forest before withdrawing his gaze.

He said regretfully, "Looking at it now, Qi Lie is still too young. He still needs many more years, perhaps decades, to be able to accept the sword I intended to gift."

"Sixty years pass in the blink of an eye."

The Island Master of Wangyou Island said lightly, "A few years, a few decades, are all but a moment in time."
