ThecrowdofouterdisciplesgatheredtogetherattheThirty-SixthSwordPeak,wearingsolemnexpressions.
TheyhadwitnessedeverythingattheDivineSwordCliff,whereSuYiwastakenawaybyseveralelderstomeetthesectleader,andtheconsequenceswereunimaginable.
Forthem,alltheycoulddowaswaitanxiouslyindespair,withnowheretoseekinformation.
"IhopeElderSureturnsassoonaspossible."
XuJiahui’sexpressionbecamesolemn,knowingthatSuYi’ssituationthistimemaynotbeoptimistic.
ThetroublecausedbySuYihasshakentheentireDivineSwordSchool.NowtheonlyhopeisthatElderSucancomebacksoon.
Otherwise,they,theouterdisciples,canonlywatchhelplessly.
Moreover,SuYiisonlyanouterdisciple,notatruediscipleoftheDivineSwordSchool,sotheconsequencesareevenmoreunpredictable.
"Chirp..."

However,seeingSuYi’sreturnandthefactthatthepersonwhohadclearlybeenbythesectleader’ssidehadjustsenthimbacktotheThirty-SixthSwordPeak,XuJiahuihadtobelieveittoacertainextent.

ParticularlyafterthebattlewithJianShiyi,SuYibecameevenmoreinterestedintheGrandSwordsmanshipCompetition.JianShiyirankedfifteenthontheSwordTower,showingsuchahighleveloftalentinmartialarts.
WhilefacingJianShiyi,SuYicouldclearlysensethatJianShiyihadsometricksuphissleeve.Naturally,thetop14oftheSwordTowerwereevenstrongerthanhim.

Therefore,SuYiisalsolookingforwardtotheGrandSwordsmanshipCompetitionverymuch,wonderinghowfarhecangoifhegoesallout.
