Su Yie boasted about everything he had learned in his lifetime.
Even if his opponent was the Demon Emperor, he wasn't afraid because he possessed the ability to erase the members of Emperor Su's Sect. Thus, he boasted with his back straight.
Emperor Su said, "No matter who it is, troubles are inevitable. Now you must invest resources. Emperor Su's Sect doesn't take in useless people. The resources invested into Emperor Su's Sect are like buying a life. I don't ask you to donate much, it's all up to your conscience. In the future, Emperor Su's Sect will grow stronger, and more powerful people will join. When you encounter troubles then, the Emperor Su's Sect will help you, no matter who the enemy is. Considering the risk of seeking help directly with the resources you invested, if you are unwilling, I will expel you."
As soon as these words came out, the Black Tiger Emperor and Demon Lord Qing Yan exploded, especially when Su Yie mentioned the word "expel," their souls shook violently, as if they were about to be scattered—such intimidation made them more awe-inspiring towards Su Yie.
Black Tiger Emperor said, "Predecessor, I present you with a treasured sword. This is the Zhou Wu Sword from the Great Zhou Forbidden Land, absolutely a treasure!"
Demon Lord Qing Yan asked, "Zhou Wu Sword? One of the legendary Seven Great Immortal Swords?"
Black Tiger Emperor, "Yes, it's completely useless in my possession and even attracts other strong beings, so it's better to give it to you, Predecessor. It is said that this sword can slay Immortal Gods of the Land, possessing this sword, you shall be invincible!"
Demon Lord Qing Yan, "Are you really that good at flattering?"
While the Black Tiger Emperor was wildly boasting about the Zhou Wu Sword, a long sword appeared in Su Yie's left hand, measuring half a meter, looking ancient as if it had just been unearthed—a bronze sword.
Zhou Wu Sword!
One of the Seven Great Immortal Swords!
Su Yie was stunned. Was the sword teleported directly to him?
He subconsciously checked his phone, where the chat was still intensively underway.
Demon Lord Qing Yan teased, "Tsk tsk, one of the great Seven Immortal Swords, the Zhou Wu Sword, picked up by a mere tiger demon."
Wux Qingyao said, "Zhou Wu Sword, the sword of Zhou Wu Emperor, it is said to be capable of splitting mountains and rivers and reversing the sun and moon! It's astonishing that it's in your hands. If word gets out, you tiger demon are undoubtedly dead."
Black Tiger Emperor, "Hehe, I obtained it by chance, but it's completely useless for me and also very dangerous, so I am simply giving it to the predecessor of Emperor Su."
Demon Lord Qing Yan, "We are brought together by Emperor Su, and we still can't get rid of the images in our minds. How high is Emperor Su's cultivation? I'm suddenly very interested in Emperor Su's Sect."
The three were chatting enthusiastically, accelerating the conversation by the minute.
Su Yie swung the Zhou Wu Sword and discovered the sword was light as a feather, weightless. Could this sword be deadly?
He slashed the sword toward a wall, and it sliced through like cutting tofu, his eyes widening at the sight.
Holy crap!
Awesome!
Instantly, Su Yie was excited, his sense of security skyrocketing as he held the sword.
Immediately, he stepped out of the teaching building. It was still daytime outside, the sky clear, and across the field lay hundreds of students, scattered about, still dizzy from the effects caused by the Xuanyuan Human Emperor.
At that moment, Su Yie's expression turned to shock.
All around the campus, many tall trees appeared, even taller than the teaching building, dense and forming a wall that trapped the school like a prison.
A couple lying by the roadside began to wake up, as did the students on the field who were gradually coming to.
"Could it be that the school has traveled through time?"
Su Yie murmured to himself, thankful that the prior appearance of Emperor Su's Sect had already shattered his worldview, so he was no longer as panicked.
If they really had traveled through time, what would happen to his parents?
Su Yie's heart ached. He had come alone to study in a strange place; if he disappeared, his parents would definitely be heartbroken.
However, the appearance of the Zhou Wu Sword, Emperor Su's Sect, and the Xuanyuan Human Emperor gave birth to new fantasies in him.
If demons and monsters appeared, could the path to seeking immortality exist?
He remembered the words of the Xuanyuan Human Emperor—altering time and space!
"The most important thing now is to survive well, and in the future, I also want to reach that height and then go back to see my parents!"
Su Yie took a deep breath, gripping the Zhou Wu Sword tightly.
He needed to find a place, then continue to manipulate the Black Tiger Emperor, Demon Lord Qing Yan, and Wu Qingyao, to obtain more treasures, only then would he be able to survive in the Ancient Wilderness.
Thinking this, he headed toward the dormitory building, as it would probably be a death sentence to leave the school rashly now.
Who knew how many dangers lurked in the surrounding Mysterious Forest.
"Ah——"
"Help!"
Having just walked a few dozen meters, Su Yie heard screaming and cries for help coming from behind the teaching building. Soon after, a group of students, both male and female, including some school security guards, ran from around the corner, each with faces full of panic.
Hiss——
A spine-chilling sound erupted, and the next second, Su Yie's mouth fell open.
A snake head as large as a water barrel emerged from around the corner, its black scales reflecting a daunting cold light under the sun. Its snake eyes cold, tonguing a long forked tongue, it looked eerily terrifying.
Su Yie instinctively thought to run, but upon seeing a figure running towards him among the crowd, his feet seemed to take root, unable to move.
It was a beautiful girl wearing a red cheongsam, her delicate face filled with fright, her hair dyed a snow-white silver.
This girl was named Nan Xiaopao, Su Yie's best friend at school. They had met at a comic convention when he had started his freshman year, working as a temporary laborer. They had struck a conversation, and even then he had teased her about her name which, as Nan Xiaopao mentioned, was given by her father, an avid gamer.
Normally, Nan Xiaopao loved role-playing and often invited Su Yie to play; even he didn't understand what attracted her so much to him, that she was so enthusiastic about him.
He had seen how coldly Nan Xiaopao rejected boys who pursued her.
"Su Yie! Run!"
Nan Xiaopao also noticed Su Yie, but instead of asking for help, she shouted for him to run.
Su Yie's heart pounded violently, holding the Zhou Wu Sword, he rushed forward unhesitatingly.
At that moment, his mind went blank.
A voice in his heart screamed: "Swing the sword in your hand, slay the demon!"
Just like that, Su Yie sprinted at full speed, with students, teachers, and security guards running past him; he charged against the flow towards Nan Xiaopao.
Nan Xiaopao, seeing this scene, was so anxious that tears burst from her eyes, continuously shouting for Su Yie to run faster, but he paid no heed.
The students on the sports field came to their senses too, gasping in horror when they saw the giant python appear.
The python, covered in countless black scales, as thick as a water barrel and estimated to be at least twenty meters long, was terrifying beyond measure.
Su Yie quickly ran past Nan Xiaopao, startling her as she turned to try and grab him, but failed.
At that moment, Su Yie's eyes only saw the giant python, the Zhou Immortal Sword in his hand injecting a strange heat into his body, boosting his courage.
This python could be slain!
Just as he was less than ten meters from the python, Su Yie suddenly stopped and swung his sword.
In an instant, a cyan crescent-shaped sword qi slashed out, silencing every sound, shocking Nan Xiaopao who stood frozen in place, her beautiful eyes wide, and some students who looked back were frightened.
Phut!
The python was directly severed into two halves, blood splattering on the nearby wall, venom following, spilling on the ground, the stench unbearable.
The sight was tremendously shocking!
The python, lifting its body to the height of three floors, was indeed split in two by Su Yie's sword!
