Chapter 48: Not Interested

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

Under Su Yang’s suppression, the troublemakers on the streets under his management quickly disappeared.

Su Yang’s strength was too formidable, and once these troublemakers were caught, there was no escape. At that time, losing money was a small matter, but losing face was a big deal.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, they either set out to capture the evil cultivator or restrain themselves.

However, martial artists soon discovered something.

Although the Martial Suppression Division guarded the entire city, it was difficult for anyone causing trouble in the area guarded by Su Yang to escape.

Although there were people guarding other places in the county city, their strength was not as good as Su Yang’s. Even if they were discovered and caught in person, it did not matter. The people of the Martial Suppression Division could not stop them at all.

Furthermore, in those other areas, they didn’t have to compensate as they did with Su Yang. The other areas where the Martial Suppression Division only intervened to prevent conflicts from breaking out.

After realizing this fact, the martial artists immediately became smarter. They first identified the area where Su Yang was stationed and then kept their distance.

In other words, “If I can’t provoke him, then I’ll avoid him.”

Su Yang found himself at leisure, and he enjoyed it. He preferred to spend this time swinging his sword.

Although a large number of martial artists had swarmed into the other streets, there were no more intense conflicts.

The martial artists had come to the county city to rest after leaving their respective sects. Their main goal was to kill the evil cultivators. Therefore, after resting properly, they followed the clues given by the Martial Suppression Division and began to investigate the murder cases in the villages one by one. They went out to hunt down the evil cultivators of the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect.

The number of martial artists within the city decreased rapidly. In the desolate mountains and remote villages, the number of martial artists increased.

Time flew by, and a day passed.

Under the night sky, Su Yang, Ye Jiang, and Sun Tianpeng sat together in the restaurant.

“Hahaha.” Sun Tianpeng raised his glass and laughed heartily. “Brother Su, you have great courage today! A true man should be like this!”

“I’ve been displeased with those disciples from the sects for a long time. If it weren’t for my father’s strict orders not to engage in conflict with them, I would have given them a good beating!”

“They really think that cultivating in their sects makes them superior to us, completely disregarding us.”

Sun Tianpeng was furious, but he felt helpless.

He looked down on the sect disciples and was unhappy with the sect disciples’ arrogant faces. However, this was the truth. The sect disciples had a higher status than them, so they did not dare to offend them.

Just look at Sun Tianpeng, who used to be reckless in front of them. Could he still act recklessly in front of those disciples?

He mentioned his father’s orders, but if there wouldn’t significant consequences for conflicting with the sect disciples, would he still be forbidden?

This was something one could easily imagine.

Some sect disciples might not be as good as Sun Tianpeng, but don’t forget the sect behind them.

The sects were particularly protective, and if they offended the younger generation, the seniors would step in. If the seniors couldn’t handle it, the elders would come forward. If they couldn’t handle it either, they would have no choice but to endure.

This day was quite difficult for Sun Tianpeng. Hearing about what Su Yang had done somewhat relieved him of his pent-up frustration.

The three of them drank and chatted, but their words were also a little more respectful to Su Yang.

That’s how reality worked. When your abilities far surpassed others, they would naturally show more respect.

“Brother Su, although you acted boldly in this matter, you still have to be careful of the other party’s revenge.” Ye Jiang, who was more meticulous, reminded him after a few drinks.

“Thank you for the reminder, but I’ve already thought about it since the beginning. Don’t worry.” Su Yang smiled.

“We can’t take this matter lightly. Even if the older generation of these sects doesn’t make a move, the number one experts of the younger generation haven’t made a move yet.”

“If they knew that you bullied their junior brother, they would definitely come and find trouble with you.”

“Other small sects are relatively easier to deal with, but the Fire Sword Sect, the Golden Blade Sect, Xuanshan Temple, and the Moon Chasing Pavilion, these four forces still have to be careful and not provoke them.”

“Among their current disciples, there are already third-grade disciples who are qualified to compete for the Hidden Dragon Rankings.”

Sun Tianpeng saw that Su Yang didn’t care too much, so he reminded him. He had already treated Su Yang as a friend. He did not want anything to happen to Su Yang.

In Su Yang’s mind, he thought, “Third grade? Forget about the third grade. Even if the ancestors of their sects come out, it won’t be of any use. That wouldn’t be called asking the ancestors to come out; it would be asking them to come out and die.”

However, Su Yang could not say that.

The two of them would definitely not believe him and would only think that he was bragging.

There was no need for that. When they really did it, they would naturally know.

“Speaking of the Hidden Dragon Rankings, I often hear you mention it. Can you give me some details?” Su Yang asked.

“Don’t you know about it, Brother Su?” Ye Jiang was somewhat surprised, as he considered it common knowledge.

Seeing that Su Yang didn’t seem to be pretending, he continued,

“The Hidden Dragon Rankings record the outstanding talents under thirty years old and below the Grandmaster realm in Daxia. When one reaches the first grade of the Grandmaster realm, they can borrow the blessings of the national fortune. The higher their rank on the list, the greater the blessing from the national fortune. It’s considered one of the treasures of Daxia.

“To be listed, one must either challenge someone on the list or undergo a strength test at the location of the Hidden Dragon Rankings.”

“If you have enough strength, you can enter the rankings.” Ye Jiang explained in a slow and steady manner.

“What he said is true, but there is one thing.” Sun Tianpeng’s eyes were filled with yearning. “Once you’re on that list, you’ll gain fame throughout the world!”

Even Ye Jiang, who used to be lazy and indifferent, yearned for something at this moment.

Su Yang, on the other hand, was not as excited as the other two.

Could one be listed below the Grandmaster realm?

This thing wasn’t his cup of tea.

After having their fill of food and drink, the three parted ways.

Su Yang returned to the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he realized that someone was waiting in his courtyard.

“I am Gu Xiu. Greetings, young friend.” Gu Xiu stood still and spoke first.

“It’s not good to enter someone else’s house without permission.” Su Yang’s expression was calm. Before he entered the door, he had already sensed that there was someone inside.

“I was indeed excited to hear that you have comprehended sword intent.” Gu Xiu explained and then said, “Now it seems that you have a deep understanding of sword intent. I wonder if you’re willing to learn the way of the sword from

At this moment, Gu Xiu had already felt the sword intent emanating from Su Yang’s body. He had originally prepared some tests to test him, but now he just wanted to accept Su Yang as soon as possible.

Just the casual emanation of sword intent from his body has already reached the third realm of artistic conception.

At present, there were not many Sky Sword Mountain disciples who could comprehend sword essence. Among the younger generation, the one who had the deepest comprehension of sword intent seemed to only be at the sixth realm of artistic conception

One had to know that the Sky Sword Mountain was a holy land that all swordsmen yearned for. Among the younger generation, there is only one sword cultivator who has reached the sixth realm of artistic conception.

The sword intent that Su Yang casually emitted was at the third level of Concept. How could he not be excited?

“Practice with you?” Su Yang looked strange. “Are you suggesting that I become your disciple?”

“That’s right.” Gu Xiu nodded confidently.

“Not interested.” Su Yang said bluntly. He was not really talented in practicing the sword, nor did he really need to learn the sword. Why would he need a master?

“Young friend, don’t be so quick to refuse. I am a grandmaster-level sword cultivator, just one step away from reaching the realm of grandmaster,” Gu Xiu said calmly. In his view, as long as he revealed his strength, Su Yang would definitely bow and become his disciple.

In a small place like Tianfeng Prefecture, how could Su Yang have come into contact with an existence of his level?

“Not interested.” Su Yang still spoke like this. Although the other party’s strength surprised him, he was still not interested.

Gu Xiu immediately became anxious. He couldn’t maintain his pretentious look.

“Young friend, you have to think carefully. My cultivation is a little weaker than a great grandmaster, and I have the Sky Sword Mountain backing me.”

“Not interested.”

“Young friend, you don’t know about Sky Sword Mountain, right? That’s the holy land of swordsmen in Da Xia. If you follow me, I can immediately bring you to the Sky Sword Mountain to cultivate.”

“Not interested.”

Gu Xiu was a little flustered and exasperated. This was the first time he had been rejected by all kinds of names.

“Today, you have to follow me matter what!”

Gu Xiu was furious and planned to kidnap Su Yang first. After seeing the power of the Sky Sword Mountain, he would definitely change his mind.

“Oh?” Su Yang’s eyes lit up with excitement..
