A Tour of Mount Shu, the Common People
The news that Tang Yi had died the moment he stepped out the door spread through Tang Family Fortress. Everyone there was baffled; some even guessed that Tang Yi had been so heartbroken that he had suddenly dropped dead…
In any case, no one suspected Su Yu. After all, Su Yu was standing right here, while Tang Yi had died at the entrance. How could they possibly connect it to Su Yu? Besides, the Tang family had no intention of investigating Tang Yi’s cause of death. A second ago, he had already ceased to be one of them.
In a pavilion within the Tang residence, Xu Changqing looked at Su Yu and said, "Brother Su, the Poisoned People incident has been resolved. It is time for me to return."
"Mm. In that case, I also want to take a look around Mount Shu." As he spoke, Su Yu looked at Meng Qi and Wolf Lord. "Little Ha, are you two staying here, or coming with me to Mount Shu?"
Wolf Lord immediately said, "I am not going to Mount Shu. I would rather stay here. It is quite nice here."
Wolf Lord was deeply unwilling to go to Mount Shu. The place was full of immortal cultivators. He would not want to go even if someone beat him to death.
After thinking it over, Meng Qi said, "Master, I will not be going either."
Su Yu nodded. "All right, then. If anything comes up, just come find me."
Then Su Yu looked at Xu Changqing. "Changqing, let us go."
Xu Changqing nodded slightly, and the two left. This time, Su Yu did not fly too quickly. The scenery of Mount Shu was exceptionally beautiful, and it would have been a shame to fly straight through without even looking at it.
Since Su Yu was flying slowly, Xu Changqing could only slow down as well. Neither of them was in a hurry anyway, so Xu Changqing did not urge him.
Mount Shu Summit
After flying for a long time, the two finally arrived at the Mount Shu Sect. They entered the main hall, and Su Yu called out with a smile, "Sect Master Qing Wei, I have come to trouble you."
Qing Wei smiled. "Welcome to Mount Shu, young friend. I will have Changqing prepare a room for you shortly."
Su Yu smiled. "All right."
Qing Wei immediately looked at Xu Changqing. Without needing Qing Wei to say anything further, Xu Changqing clasped his fists and said, "Master, I will go prepare a room for Brother Su at once."
After saying that, Xu Changqing left. Su Yu said, "Well, I will not disturb the five of you any longer. I will go look around the Mount Shu Sect."
Qing Wei nodded slightly, and Su Yu departed.
After Su Yu left, one of the elders sighed. "I wonder whether inviting him to stay at Mount Shu was the right choice."
Qing Wei smiled. "We merely invited someone to stay at Mount Shu for a few days. How did it become a question of right or wrong? Though I cannot see through Su Yu, his nature does not seem that of a great villain. Rest assured, junior brothers."
"That is good. But if he dares cause trouble at Mount Shu, we will fight him to the death even if it costs us our lives!" one elder said.
After Xu Changqing had prepared Su Yu’s room, he returned to the main hall. Qing Wei asked, "Changqing, tell us about the Poisoned People incident."
Xu Changqing nodded slightly, then recounted the entire course of the Poisoned People incident.
Qing Wei nodded slightly after listening. It was good that the matter had been resolved. Then Qing Wei asked, "Changqing, did you learn anything about Su Yu’s strength?"
Xu Changqing nodded. "Yes!"
The five immediately became interested. Cang Gu asked, "Then just how strong is Su Yu?"
Xu Changqing took a deep breath. "Master, martial uncles, you saw Brother Su’s Sound Blade that day, did you not?"
The five nodded. Qing Wei said, "That Sound Blade was indeed terrifying. Even I would find it difficult to block it!"
Xu Changqing continued, "Sound Blades can be combined into a more powerful Sound Blade. I asked Brother Su, and he said he can unleash a golden Sound Blade formed from one million Sound Blades!"
The five were too stunned to speak. Blocking even one had nearly cost them their lives, yet Su Yu could unleash a million at once!
Qing Wei said with a bitter smile, "I fear Su Yu has no enemies in the Three Realms!"
Naturally. Even a black Sound Blade would be impossible for anyone to stop.
The five suddenly thought of something. After exchanging glances, a great weight lifted from their hearts. What they feared most was the Evil Sword Immortal, but seeing Su Yu’s strength now, what immortal could not be casually dealt with?
Qing Wei looked at Xu Changqing. "Changqing, you may leave for now."
Xu Changqing nodded and left the main hall.
Cang Gu said, "If Su Yu truly is that powerful, then there is no need to worry about the Evil Sword Immortal at all. We simply do not know whether he is really that strong."
Qing Wei stroked his beard. "This concerns the common people of the world. Tomorrow, I will ask Su Yu about it clearly. If his strength truly is that great, then Su Yu may be able to make up for our mistake."
The five all nodded. Each of them was thinking about how to destroy the Evil Sword Immortal, having long since cast aside any concern for their own lives. After all, the calamity had been created by the five of them. If they did not resolve it, they would feel guilty for all eternity.
The next day
Su Yu rose early in the morning. The moment he opened his door, he saw Qing Wei. Su Yu asked in confusion, "Sect Master Qing Wei, why have you come here?"
Qing Wei smiled. "I came to see whether you have grown accustomed to staying here."
"It is quite good." Su Yu looked puzzled.
"Are you going to have breakfast, young friend? Let us go together. There is something I would like to discuss with you." Qing Wei stepped aside to clear the way.
Su Yu nodded, then headed toward the Dining Hall with Qing Wei. Su Yu looked at Qing Wei and asked, "Sect Master Qing Wei, what did you want to discuss with me?"
"It is like this. I heard from Changqing about the power of your Sound Blades. I wanted to ask whether you can truly unleash one million Sound Blades at the same time?" Qing Wei asked, looking at Su Yu.
Su Yu waved his hand. "What is so difficult about that? I can casually unleash a golden Sound Blade. Why?"
Qing Wei’s mouth twitched, and he said, "There is a monster in this world that may bring calamity upon all living beings. When it appears, I hope you can step in and save the common people."
Su Yu smiled and patted Qing Wei on the shoulder. "No problem. If no one can deal with it, I will step in and suppress it. It is only a matter of playing one tune."
Qing Wei clasped his fists and bowed to Su Yu. "Then allow me to thank you in advance on behalf of the common people."
"All right, all right. Let us go eat breakfast instead. Oh, right, Mount Shu’s food does not lack meat, does it?" Su Yu suddenly remembered something very important and asked.
Qing Wei smiled. "Mount Shu does not forbid meat. We are not a temple, after all."
