The Supreme Sword Master

Chapter 167

Besides those four beautiful women, there was also an old man with snow white hair in the hall that was standing at the seat of the host. Moreover, four middle aged men and a woman were standing on the old man’s right. Tang Ye didn’t know the four middle aged men and the old man, but he knew that woman. Because it was Su Qingshi. When Tang Ye walked into the hall, the gazes of everyone descended onto him. In the beginning, Tang Ye was bewildered about why that Sword Commanding Elder would want to see him, but when he saw Feng Yi now, he’d instantly came to an understanding. They’d come with ill intent! Tang Ye took a deep breath, and he walked forward to bow to the old man in the lead. He said, “Outer Court Disciple, Tang Ye, greets the Sword Commanding Elder!” The white haired old man nodded slightly, and then he looked at Feng Yi’s group and said, “All of you’ve come from afar, so I presume you’re slightly tired. Qingshi, take these four distinguished guests to have a rest!” Su Qingshi’s beautiful brows knit together slightly. She glanced at Tang Ye, and then hesitate for a moment before she walked over to Feng Yi and said, “Please follow me!” When she noticed that the old man refused to allow them to stay here, one of the beautiful women behind Feng Yi was slightly displeased. She was just about to speak when Feng Yi shook her head towards that woman and said, “We’ll be troubling you then!” Su Qingshi nodded lightly, and then she turned around and led them out of the hall. However, a wisp of worry flashed in her eyes when she passed by Tang Ye and took a glance at him. Feng Yi glanced at Tang Ye as well. However, her eyes didn’t carry any worry, and there was only ridicule. Tang Ye’s heart sank when he noticed this. Right at this moment, the old man who was in the lead looked at Tang Ye and asked. “Your mother is a disciple of the Flower Palace?” Tang Ye suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and then he cupped his fists and said, “Yes!” “The Flower Palace wants the Sword Sect to hand you and your sister over to them. What do you think about this?” The old man went straight to the point. Tang Ye took a deep breath, and then he smiled with self-ridicule and said, “Sword Commanding Elder, since you’ve already made your decision, then is my opinion important?” The old man went silent when he heard Tang Ye’s words that carried slight resentment. If it was up to him alone, he wasn’t willing to hand a disciple of the Sword Sect over to another because this would cause all the disciples of the Sword Sect to feel disappointed. However, he had no choice this time. Because the Flower Palace’s strength was much stronger than the Sword Sect, and the Flower Palace had a very good reason this time! However, if he did hand Tang Ye over, it would definitely disappoint numerous disciples of the Sword Sect! Meanwhile, a hawk nosed middle aged man on the old man’s right said, “Senior Brother Yu Lin, our Sword Sect is already like fire and water with the Ghost Sect now, so it’s truly inadvisable for us to form enmity with the Flower Palace. Moreover, the Flower Palace has such a good reason. If we don’t hand them over, then not only will enmity arise between our Sword Sect and the Flower Palace, it will leave a bad impression to others. This is truly unwise!” After he finished speaking, the middle aged man turned around to look at Tang Ye, and he said, “Kid, we’re both strangers to each other, and I wasn’t trying to go against you by saying all of that. I just said that for the Sword Sect’s sake. If you’re able to survive and want to take revenge in the future, then you can come looking for me. I’m called Chi Huo!” Tang Ye nodded, and he spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. “I’ll commit your name to memory. If I’m able to survive, then I’ll definitely look for Senior Chi Huo and ask for an explanation!” When they heard this, the four middle aged men and Yu Lin glanced at Tang Ye with surprise. We really underestimated this young man just now!Chi Huo glanced at Tang Ye with admiration and said, “Kid, your courage and bearing are really not bad. If it wasn’t for the sake of the Sword Sect, I wouldn’t want to send you off to your death!” Tang Ye asked abruptly. “Senior, allow me to make a bold move and ask you, what was the meaning behind the Founding Ancestors’ establishment of the Sword Sect all those years ago?” Chi Huo frowned and said, “What’re you trying to say?” Tang Ye said slowly, “Why do so many people want to join a sect? Because not only would one obtain plenty of cultivation resources upon joining a sect, it represented a form of honor as well. It represented that one wouldn’t be bullied by others in the future. To make a simple example, if I headed to the mortal world and those clans of the mortal world found out that I’m a disciple of the Sword Sect, then even if I’m merely an outer court disciple, they would still treat me with respect. “Since the Founding Ancestor was matchless in the world and no one in the world could bully him at that time, then why did he still establish the Sword Sect? I think that besides passing down his inheritance, it was also because he wanted his disciples to become united. Because only by being united would they be able to avoid being bullied by others once he was gone. “In short, it’s unity. A sect can only avoid being bullied by being united. My life isn’t precious at all, and it doesn’t matter if I die. However, if Seniors hand me and my younger sister over, then what would the disciples of the Sword Sect think? What would the people in the outside world think? “Seniors, do all of you think anyone will join a sect that can’t protect its own disciples? Would anyone see it as an honor to become a disciple of the Sword Sect? Would anyone work hard and fight for this honor anymore?” As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ye took a deep breath. He didn’t want to die, and he didn’t want his sister to die even more. He wanted to rescue his mother, so he had to strive to obtain a chance to survive. If he strived for and obtained this chance, then he would have an opportunity; if he didn’t strive for it, then he wouldn’t have the slightest opportunity.
