The descendants of immortals who’d survived the End of the Dharma were perhaps overly accustomed to power.1

Both Fu Dongli, the one with the Obscuring Heavens Umbrella, and Mo Qingchou, the one who’d sent Li Zhong here to persuade Su Yi, thought they could force Su Yi to accept their “good intentions.”0

They promised wondrous arts, precious treasures, protection, and that they’d bring Su Yi to the Immortal Realm to cultivate.0

But they were effectively just saying, “I know you’re in deep shit, so I’ll help you out, if you agree to lower your head and do what I say.”4

Were those really “good intentions?”0

No.0

They were really offering an exchange!0

Su Yi wasn’t averse to making deals. No, what bothered him was their lofty, superior attitude.0

He’d spent his whole life immersed in his pursuit of the Dao of the Sword. How could he possibly need another to lift him up?0

Even if he was surrounded by enemies on all sides, how could he possibly need another to shelter him from the wind and rain?3

The most ludicrous part was that both Mo Qingchou and Li Zhong obviously assumed he was in Universal Emptiness Temple because he wanted Sword Immortal Qingshi and the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha...0
