Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1244 - 155: Future Sect Leader (Part 1)
Da Sui Sword Palace, Lotus Peak.
As the sun rose above the sea of clouds, golden light illuminated the entire mountain top of Lotus Peak, making it shine like a celestial realm.
A young man in black lay on a reclining chair, sheltered under the eaves.
The gathering light fell before his feet.
Xie Xuanyi kept his eyes closed, seemingly dozing, as the sharp sound of the wind echoed in his ears.
The crane let out a clear cry, approaching from afar.
The cries first circled in the clouds, then gradually descended, finally landing atop Lotus Peak above layers of mist.
"Senior Brother!"
Si Qi jumped down from the back of the crane.
He hurried forward, took out a green scroll from his sleeve.
Xie Xuanyi slowly opened his eyes and reached out to take the green scroll... the disciples of True Hidden Peak are spread across the Four Realms, and in terms of gathering intelligence, they are no less skilled than the covert agents of the Book Tower.
The content recorded on the green scroll was actually quite simple.
Huang Su took Xie Yueying to Jiangning.
At the Yu Family in Jiangning.
Xie Yueying loosened her shackles and had a fight, while Huang Su upheld justice with the Floating Cloud Sword Formation, directly suppressing the Yin God Venerable of the Yu Family.
The entire cause and effect of the matter was detailed in the green scroll.
"The only son of the Yu Family was beaten quite miserably."
Si Qi said in a low voice: "Though he wasn’t killed, it’s estimated he won’t be able to get out of bed for three to five years... judging by what the old man of the Yu Family implied, it seems he doesn’t want to let it go just yet... Just recently, True Hidden Peak received a communication from the Yu Family, hoping for a fair and just resolution to the matter."
"Ha."
After reading the green scroll, Xie Xuanyi merely chuckled: "How does the old man hope to resolve it?"
"According to him... although the Yu Family is at fault, the Sword Palace’s actions were somewhat excessive."
Si Qi said with a bitter smile: "Xie Yueying was not lenient in her actions, and Huang Su was even more severe. The Yin God Venerable of the Yu Family was also severely injured."
"Send some elixirs, as an apology from the Sword Palace."
Xie Xuanyi said lightly: "If he’s wise, he should find a way to step down from this."
"Elixirs have already been sent."
Si Qi paused, then said: "The old man and True Hidden Peak are still negotiating... He participated in the Battle of Poison, following the Jiang Family and earning many merits. After the fall of the Holy Empress, many young members of the Yu Family took office in the Imperial City."
"...So what is he insinuating?"
Xie Xuanyi’s smile remained, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"He probably wants to demand more."
Si Qi had nothing to hide and spoke the truth.
He shrugged helplessly and said: "Everyone knows that Senior Brother and the Xie Family have already severed ties. Now many families in Jiangning have formed alliances and begun to resist the Xie Family... The farce of yesterday only worsened the Xie Family’s situation, adding fuel to the fire. The old man of the Yu Family means that if the Sword Palace cannot uphold justice, he will disband the families in Jiangning."
"Let him disband them, then."
Xie Xuanyi answered without the slightest hesitation, straightforwardly.
He frowned and said: "There are always people who fail to understand the situation. How is swallowing the Xie Family supposed to please me? This big fish, if the Yu Family doesn’t eat it, naturally someone else will..."
Presently, it seems like the Jiangning heroes are dividing the Xie Family.
But in reality...
If Xie Xuanyi did not permit it, who would dare to touch the Xie Family at all?
This mountain of gold and silver is unwanted by Xie Xuanyi, hence these people qualify to divide and feast on it!
"This Family Head of the Yu Family, having experienced so many battles, how is he still so foolish..."
Si Qi scratched his head.
He didn’t quite understand why such a simple matter still had follow-ups.
Not to mention just a local general who followed Jiang Lie into battle.
Even if the Old Sir Jiang himself was here, he wouldn’t qualify to haggle with Senior Brother.
This matter, Sword Palace is rightly justified. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Elixirs were sent there as a sign of apology, yet the Yu Family started being unreasonable?
"The petty fear power but don’t respect virtue."
Xie Xuanyi lowered his eyelids and said calmly: "The thoughts of such trivial families as the Yu Family are actually quite predictable. This so-called only son got beaten, directly earning elixirs from the Sword Palace. If they persist further, the Sword Palace will surely give more."
Si Qi nodded earnestly.
Last night, through interactions.
He had a rough feeling... that’s precisely the idea behind the Yu Family.
"Retrieve all those elixirs."
Xie Xuanyi considered for a moment and slowly said: "Junior Brother Si, please make a trip to Jiangning, then select a suitable family, first considering their character and morals. If anyone in the family has been admitted to the Sword Palace, even better. If not, it’s okay, you can select one or two reasonably aged young men from their family, and send them to become disciples of the Sword Palace."
"Is Senior Brother going to take on disciples?"
Si Qi paused, somewhat surprised.
"What would I want disciples for..."
Xie Xuanyi felt a bit helpless and explained earnestly: "Sword Palace has sealed its mountain for ten years and extremely lacks young disciples. It has been some time since the last Sword Energy Festival to recruit disciples... The disciples brought back from Jiangning families this time, according to the rules, should be sent to whichever Sword Peak they’re destined for. However, the family you choose will receive strong support from Sword Palace. If there are cultivators of Perfect Cave Heaven in the family willing to use elixir for advancement, they can receive elixirs from Xiao Chong Mountain to help them condense into Tao Realm."
Si Qi vaguely understood Senior Brother’s intentions.
This meant... replacing the Yu Family!
"This Yu Family matter has served as a reminder for me."
Xie Xuanyi sank deeper into the recliner, gazed unfocusedly, and mumbled: "I’m not a Carefree Loose Cultivator, content with living freely alone. From this day forward, I have the entire Da Sui Sword Palace behind me... Some things need to be done."
In the past.
He traversed the Four Realms alone, focusing solely on cultivating his own Sword Energy Realm.
But after the Lotus Peak battle...
Master had already entrusted the heavy burden of the Sword Palace onto his shoulders.
The Jiangning affair is small.
But observing it gives a glimpse of everything.
Now Xie Xuanyi, is no longer Sword Cultivator Xie Xuanyi...
He is Lotus Peak Master Xie Xuanyi.
In a few years, he will be Sword Palace Master Xie Xuanyi.
To sever all ties with the Xie Family is the action of a "loose cultivator."
What Xie Xuanyi wants to do now.
Is not merely about cutting off old grudges with the Xie Family.
He also wants to personally support Jiangning, and rectify this muddled situation.
Because this matter involves "himself."
So whether it be Chen Jingxuan or other Holy Lands in Great Chu... none can interfere.
After all.
Everyone must give face to the future Sword Palace Master.
It’s precisely due to this, that the Yu Family’s Family Head dares to act recklessly... For this period, Jiangning has practically been a land without an owner. Even little fleas dare to act wantonly.
"I’ll go handle it right away."
Si Qi took the order and quickly steered the crane south.
Lotus Peak returned to solitude.
Xie Xuanyi pondered for a while, and took out a communication order from his sleeve.
This communication order was directly dispatched to Qing State.

(PS: 1, more tonight. 2, to explain the recent plot issues. Before the next major climax starts, there is much groundwork I believe is important and cannot be skipped. If it’s about plots unrelated to the main story, I will try to update more.)
