First Immortal of the Sword

When Sun Yunqi knelt before A’Ning and A’Li, he finally understood why he was being humiliated.

Everything was because of that mediocre little mute!

“Su Yi, you’ve caused such an enormous disturbance. When the Northern Frost Sword Sect…” Qian Yu said in a quavering voice.

But before he could finish his sentence, Su Yi glanced over. Qian Yu clamped his jaw shut and quivered. His knees turned to jelly, and he collapsed to the ground.

Truly worthless. Chang Lexing sneered to himself.

“No matter who you are, you’ve caused a disturbance in the Northern Frost Sword Sect’s territory. You’ll pay for this!”

Zhan Changhu bellowed, his voice reverberating throughout the venue.

Su Yi looked over and saw the enraged Zhan Changhu raise his hand and shatter a talisman.

Bang!

The entire venue was in uproar. Who could have failed to realize that Zhan Changhu, an immortal, was requesting reinforcements?

“Big Brother Su, what do we do?” A’Li’s heart was on tenterhooks, and her little face was full of worry.

But Su Yi was entirely unperturbed. “Don’t be afraid, the greater the commotion, the faster they’ll die.”

He took out a jug of wine and had a sip. “To me, this tiny upset can only be described as ‘boring.’”

The crowd didn’t know what to say to that.

Before long, a group of immortals appeared out of nowhere, all of them seething with murderous intent. All of them were immortals of the Northern Frost Sword Sect. The leader was a majestic, dignified old man with graying temples. When his eyes moved, they flashed with divine light.

Mo Zun!

A higher elder of the Northern Frost Sword Sect and a long-established Void Realm True Immortal!

As the group of immortals arrived, the atmosphere in the Sky Tripod Ritual Grounds was instantly stifled and oppressive. Everyone felt suffocated.

What did they mean when they spoke of “immortal grandeur?”

It was simple: when immortals gathered, those yet to reach the Immortal Dao were no more than ants!

“That Su guy’s finished!” Wen Yuanming spat through gnashed teeth.

The experts of the other immortal factions felt their hearts quiver with fright. It was obvious to all of them that Su Yi would find it difficult to escape this time!

Now, when Ma Xingkong and the others looked at Su Yi, their gazes contained a hint of pity. Even if he were more heaven-defying than he already was, what good would it have done him?

Those who didn’t know when to stop were sure to meet their doom!

By now, the Void Realm True Immortal Mo Zun and the newly arrived Universe Realm Immortals had already learned the full story from Zhan Changhu. All of their gazes locked onto Su Yi.

“Let Sun Yunqi go, and I promise to execute you and you alone. I won’t implicate the others,” Mo Zun said coldly.

It was like the decree of a monarch! Every word went off like a thunderclap, reverberating throughout the entire area.

The crowd’s hearts palpitated with fright, no exceptions. Chills coursed through their entire bodies. The aura of a Void Realm True Immortal was far too frightening!

A’Li and A’Ning paled; they couldn’t have been any more nervous. Their concern for Su Yi was readily apparent.

Su Yi wasted no time talking. He just casually drew his hand through the air.

Bang!!

The kneeling Sun Yunqi exploded into bits, destroyed in body and soul.

The crowd looked over. All of them were flabbergasted.

Mo Zun was enraged, and his murderous intent soared into the heavens.

The immortals behind him were infuriated too.

“Don’t be afraid,” Su Yi casually comforted A’Li and A’Ning. “Once I’ve killed these eyesores, I’ll get you two out of here.”

“!!!!”

The crowd couldn’t even imagine how Su Yi could be so brazen under such circumstances.

“Young man, you dared provoke our Northern Frost Sword Sect. I imagine you have reason for your confidence. Go ahead, call out your backer!” Mo Zun took a step forward, charging through the sky at Su Yi.

As majestic as a god!

But before he’d gotten far, a slender, jade-like hand suddenly struck the air in front of him.

Bang!!!

Mo Zun, a Void Realm True Immortal, was sent flying back like a kite with its strings cut. He landed in the dirt several thousand feet away. His chest caved in, and blood spurted from his mouth and nose.

Meanwhile, an upright, impressive figure appeared in the air.

Her clothes were plain, but her face was exquisitely beautiful. Her snowy, crystalline skin was soft and delicate. She was the very picture of a yao immortal, a dazzling enchantress.

As soon as she appeared, an invisible, terrifying majesty swept throughout the entire area, like a tidal wave or avalanche.

Heaven and earth dimmed, and the sky rumbled and wailed.

The onlookers panicked. All of them felt more insignificant than ever before, and their hearts filled with despair!

Even Mo Zun and the Northern Frost Sword Sect immortals gasped. They were completely stricken.

An Immortal Lady!

Even by the standards of the province as a whole, she was an absolute expert! The seven factions present were considered first-rate in the Jing Province, but compared to an Immortal Lady, they weren’t even worth looking at!

An Immortal Lady!

Ma Xingkong and the others were dumbstruck. They were so startled that their scalps went numb; an Immortal Lady was like an existence straight out of a legend.

Even they, Transcendents of the Jade Firmament Immortal Sect, practically never had the opportunity to lay eyes on Immortal Lords and Ladies!

The reason for this was simple. Experts of the Immortal Lord level were rare and elusive, only to be found in Immortal Lord factions.

A’Ning and A’Li were stunned. It was as if they were witnessing a miracle.

Only Su Yi furrowed his brow, then shook his head, took out a jug of wine, and had a sip.

“Are you perhaps that young man’s backer?” said Mo Zun. He forced himself to be calm and spoke with great politeness.

In truth, he was inwardly frantic, and his mouth felt bitter. He’d only just told Su Yi that he could go ahead and call for his backer.

Now, the blink of an eye later, an Immortal Lady had appeared!

He was now fully aware of his predicament.

“Pillar of support?” This unearthly beauty was none other than Qing Wei. She shook her head and said solemnly, “You’re jumping to conclusions. I pale in comparison to His Excellency Su, like a firefly pales before the full moon.”

“???” No one knew what to make of that.

Mo Zun was dumbstruck. An Immortal Lady just called a young man ‘His Excellency?’ Who’d dare believe such a thing?

The atmosphere was instantly strange and silent.

Qing Wei continued, “I intervened earlier because I didn’t want to see unsightly small fries like you die at His Excellency Su’s hands; it would only dirty them.”

She was a dazzling Immortal Lady, yet her words were full of nothing but respect for Su Yi.

The crowd was increasingly flabbergasted. Just what kind of person was Su Yi, for an Immortal Lady to treat him with such reverence?

Mo Zun was completely overcome with fright, and he had no time to consider all that. He said hurriedly, “Senior, this is a misunderstanding! My Northern Frost Sword Sect…”

Qing Wei’s soft red lips parted. “The sincerest form of penance is death.”

She raised her fair hand into the air and swung it like a saber.

Splurt!

Several thousand feet away, Mo Zun split down the midline. A moment later, both halves of his bisected corpse burned to ash.

A Void Realm True Immortal had been cut down like grass!

“Then there’s you lot.” Qing Wei’s beautiful gaze shifted and landed on the other Northern Frost Sword Sect Immortals.

All of them turned and fled in panic.

“When the heavens wish someone dead, they’ll first drive him to madness. That goes for immortals too.” As Qing Wei’s soft, subtly magnetic voice echoed through the air, dazzling streaks of golden light swept outward.

In the blink of an eye, she’d slaughtered the entire group of Universe Realm Immortals!

The dense smell of blood and an imposing murderous intent permeated the Sky Tripod Ritual Grounds.

The plainly dressed, enchantingly beautiful Qing Wei was now the center of attention.

Then, beneath countless disbelieving gazes, this Immortal Lady of the Yao Path withdrew her majestic aura, hurried up to Su Yi, and lowered her head timidly.

“This junior intervened without permission. I dare not make excuses for my behavior. Please punish me, Your Excellency!”

Her voice contained a hint of unconcealable unease. She was as nervous as if she were walking on thin ice!

Everyone froze in place like statues. It seemed to them that nothing could have been more absurd.

She was an Immortal Lady, and she’d obviously intervened to help him turn the tides. Furthermore, she’d just slain a group of immortals with a snap of her fingers. How majestic had she been? And how prideful?

Who could have imagined that she’d apologize to a young man in panic, as if she’d done something horribly wrong?

She even said she dared not make excuses, and all she wanted was for him to punish her!

It was unbelievable!

“A trivial incident, barely even worth mentioning. How could I rebuke you?” Su Yi shook his gourd of wine and tossed it to Qing Wei. “If you really want to make it up to me, find a spare moment to refill that gourd.”

Qing Wei accepted the gourd with both hands. A massive weight lifted from her shoulders as she smiled and straightforwardly agreed. “Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Excellency!”

“You take care of the clean-up,” said Su Yi. His interest had waned a long time ago, so he immediately led the still-dazed A’Ning and A’Li away.

Qing Wei’s respectful voice emanated from behind. “I shall carry out your orders, Your Excellency.”

After Su Yi and the sisters fully disappeared from view, Qing Wei’s repressed majestic aura instantly burst forth. She was cold, aloof, and contemptuous once more.

“Wei Ming, have a group clean the place up,” Qing Wei said softly. “I have but one request. Everyone who slandered His Excellency Earlier must be punished.”

“Understood!” Wei Ming’s voice rang out. The scholarly immortal and his subordinates watching in secret immediately stepped forth.

An austere murderous intent instantly enveloped the entire area.

Wen Yuanming broke down.

As did Ma Xingkong.

And Qian Yu.

….and everyone else who’d insulted Su Yi earlier.

How could they fail to realize that they were about to face retribution?

Only Chang Lexing was inwardly celebrating!

Meanwhile, Su Yi walked through the bustling streets, hands behind his back. He was on his way to the House of Little Joys.

A’Ning and A’Li followed immediately behind him.

Perhaps because what had just happened in the Sky Tripod Ritual Grounds was too great a shock, both sisters looked dazed and out of sorts.

When they reached the House of Little Joys, A’Ning rallied her courage and said, “Su… Su Yi… just… who are you?”

A’Li instinctively looked over as well.

She wanted to hear the answer to that too.

Su Yi stopped in place. “Didn’t I tell you earlier?”

A’Ning froze, stunned, then suddenly recalled. Yes, she had indeed asked Su Yi that very question on their way to Sky Tripod Immortal City.

Su Yi answered that he was once the First Immortal of the Sword, and that he’d dominated the entire Immortal Realm!

At the time, A’Ning took it for a joke. She hadn’t taken it at all seriously.

But now, after witnessing Su Yi’s abilities and seeing how respectful an Immortal Lady like Qing Wei was to him, her heart suddenly shook. She suddenly realized that… perhaps… Su Yi hadn’t been joking!

The First Immortal of the Sword?

How lofty of a title was that?

But he was obviously so young, and he’d obviously displayed World King-level cultivation on stage. How could he dare refer to himself in such a way?

A’Ning was befuddled, but A’Li wasn’t concerned about all that. In a tense, slightly reserved tone, she asked, “Can I… still call you... Big Brother Su?”

Su Yi smiled. “Of course.”

A’Li instantly smiled too.

She didn’t care in the slightest about Su Yi’s origins or identity.
