The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

A sword wind slashed out from Su Wusi, sweeping across the earth, cutting off all the earth fire that emerged in the palace with one strike. Before this sword even struck Luo Jia, it had already caused him to spit blood and retreat pale-faced.

If this sword truly hit Luo Jia, he would likely be seriously injured if not dead.

Luo Jia retreated pale-faced, knowing at this moment that he was no match for Su Wusi.

He watched helplessly as the sword closed in on him.

But just then, this domineering sword wind suddenly disappeared from the palace. Simultaneously, an amiable old man’s laughter was heard: "Su Wusi, even if my disciple is at fault, there’s no need for your Sword Pavilion Clan to teach him a lesson, is there?"

As the voice echoed, the earth fire that Su Wusi had just cut off with one sword, emerged once more.

This time, the emerging earth fire was about a thousand feet high, almost melting the entire palace.

The thousand-foot earth fire transformed into thousands of fire dragons, angrily glaring at Su Wusi!

Su Wusi, his face full of terror, couldn’t help but take two steps back, drawing a King-level spiritual artifact from his storage bag, glaring coldly at the thousands of fire dragons before him.

Clatter——

In the next moment, these thousands of aggressive fire dragons suddenly vanished mid-air, and the earth fire retreated into the crevices, disappearing without a trace.

From the place where the fire dragons disappeared, an old man wearing a seven-colored long robe appeared in front of everyone.

He had crane-like hair and a youthful face, a kind expression, and smiling eyes, exuding an aura of transcendence and holiness.

He was the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures!

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures looked at Su Wusi, who was as if facing a great enemy, and chuckled lightly, "The sword in your hand was forged by this old man. Do you wish to use a sword forged by me against me?"

The King-level spiritual artifact currently in Su Wusi’s hand was a treasure sword specially forged by the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures after Su Wusi outmatched everyone and won first place at the Monarch’s Birthday Celebration of the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures decades ago.

Su Wusi hurriedly retracted the sword edge, clasped his fists, and said, "Please forgive us, Senior Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures, we truly have no other options; otherwise, we wouldn’t use such means to force your appearance!"

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures smiled with hands behind his back, saying, "A lot of old friends here today, Yan Long, Li Hai, Feng Chun, are you three old things still alive?"

Li Hai chuckled, "Without the decree of the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures, we dare not die!"

Yan Long also laughed, "Long time no see, Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures!"

Feng Chun also smiled and greeted.

Seeing the others, the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures chuckled, "This young lady here seems unfamiliar to me."

Ye Suxin clasped her fists and said, "I am Ye Suxin, I have seen the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures, Senior. Coming here today to disturb your cultivation, I truly feel a bit guilty and ask for your forgiveness."

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures smiled slightly, saying, "Not too humble, not too arrogant, a teachable child you are. If you are willing, this old man is willing to take you under my wing as my sixth disciple! How about it?"

Swoosh——

Hearing this, Li Hai, Yan Long, and the others all looked at Ye Suxin with an astounded gaze.

Since the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures became the first Artifact Refiner on the Barbaric Ancient Continent, countless warriors wished to become his disciple, yet were rejected by him!

Over all these years, he has only accepted five disciples.

Yet, upon first meeting Ye Suxin, the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures unexpectedly intends to accept her as a disciple, how could one not be shocked?

Ye Suxin smiled, "I do not like artifact refining, Junior."

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures chuckled, "What I learned in life is not limited to artifact refining, this old man also excels in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Artifact refining, alchemy, astrology, and array formation, this old man knows a bit about each!"

Ye Suxin smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior!"

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures shook his head after hearing this, "Alright, if you are unwilling, then so be it!"

Then, the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures looked toward the bald elder and chuckled, "Sir, you appear even more unfamiliar!"

The bald elder smiled and said, "I am the clan leader of the Tianji tribe, Tianji tribe is just a small tribe, and not one of the seventy-two major tribes, naturally the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures would not recognize me!"

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures frowned, "I feel your tribe’s name is quite improper..."

"Tianji Tribe, quite improper!"

"Too arrogant!"

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures chuckled.

The bald elder smiled gently, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

After greeting everyone one by one, the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures turned back to look at Luo Jia and asked, "Everyone, you all came here today in such numbers to use my disciple to force me out!"

"What is this about?"

Su Wusi immediately clasped his fists and said, "Senior, six days ago, Su Tingzong of our Sword Pavilion Clan disappeared in Fire Lotus Mountain, and we have not found his trace until now!"

Li Hai said, "Li Can of our Jiuli Tribe as well!"

Yan Long said, "Yan Ji also disappeared six days ago!"

Feng Chun said, "Feng Siyun of our Wind and Snow Tribe is also missing!"

The bald elder said, "Three warriors from our Tianji tribe are also missing, Liu Yuan, Ye Jing, Qin Yijun!"

Ye Suxin also spoke softly, "My fiancé Lin Bai is also missing, he left six days ago too!"

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures’ eyes contracted upon hearing this, saying, "Yan Ji, Su Tingzong, these two are legendary geniuses of the Southern Continent!"

"Li Can and Feng Siyun, these two are the top geniuses of the Jiuli Tribe and Wind and Snow Tribe!"

"As for the others, to have vanished alongside these people, they must also be extraordinary young talents!"

"How did they all vanish at the same time, six days ago?"

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures said with a smile.

While speaking, the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures turned to look at Luo Jia.

Luo Jia’s face turned pale as he hung his head, silent.

After informing the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures of the matter, everyone ceased to speak.

Now that the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures knew of this, he would naturally handle it.

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures looked at Luo Jia, expressionless, with a hint of anger, "Luo Jia, will you not present the item?"

Luo Jia said with an expressionless face, "I do not know... what item the Master is referring to?"

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures’ face showed a trace of anger, "Do I have to retrieve it myself? Was it not you who took the Dried Well Scroll from the treasury?"

"Hand over the Dried Well Scroll!"

The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures said harshly.

Hearing this, Luo Jia weakly shook his head. He knew that without handing over the Dried Well Scroll, it would be impossible.

Helplessly, Luo Jia could only retrieve a scroll from his storage bag and respectfully handed it over to the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures with both hands.

Holding the scroll, the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures tossed it directly into the air. It unfolded mid-air, revealing a dried well, from which strands of seven-colored glow began to emanate...
