Li Sisui hadn't intended to kill him; he only needed the power to break the formation. Unexpectedly, this man had backed down first. Looking at the disciples behind him, they were all staring at Li Sisui with trepidation, their hands tightening and loosening their magical weapons repeatedly, displaying a timid and hesitant expression.
"Scatter, scatter! Put away your magical artifacts! Do you want to kill me?"
The elder of Shenxiao Palace was pale-faced, his eyes fixed on the transparent short sword between his brows. He kept shouting, which made the disciples who were already somewhat afraid of Li Sisui even more hesitant to act, and they all put away their magical weapons, looking flustered.
"Who are you?"
Li Sisui slowly walked closer, looking puzzled. The slow sword domain shrank further, barely covering Li Sisui and the elder. The transparent short sword remained motionless in mid-air, only an inch away from the elder's brow. If he had a thought, the transparent short sword would have instantly pierced his head, leaving him no time to react. Moreover, being within the slow sword domain, even if he had time to react, he wouldn't have been able to make a ripple!
"I am the First Elder of Shenxiao Palace. The Palace Master is away and has not returned. I am now in charge of the entire sect. Senior, do you have any instructions?"
At this point, the Shenxiao Palace elder subconsciously glanced at the transparent short sword in front of him, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. There were originally six elders in Shenxiao Palace, but the other five elders went out with the palace master, leaving him alone to guard the sect. Unexpectedly, he encountered Li Sisui coming to his door...
To emphasize his importance and attract Li Sisui's attention, he added "first" before his title of elder. In reality, elders in the sect were only distinguished by their cultivation level, not by any order of precedence.
"So you are the First Elder. It's a pleasure to meet you. I wonder when your Palace Master will return? I have a question I need to ask him, or perhaps you could answer it for me?"
The elder looked troubled, staring at the transparent short sword between his brows, remaining silent for a long time. Li Sisui understood, and with a slight thought, the transparent short sword changed direction and pierced the white mark between Li Sisui's brows. The elder let out a long breath, glanced at the strange domain around him, and said in a resounding voice:
"Please speak freely, senior. I will answer all your questions to the best of my ability!"
Li Sisui smiled and looked around, saying:
"You all know who I am, so I won't say much more. But there's one thing I don't understand: who leaked my exact location?"
His smiling expression turned cold by the end. He was furious whenever he thought about how his peaceful life had been suddenly disrupted. The worst part was that he didn't know who had done it, which made him even angrier and was what Li Sisui had been holding a grudge about!
He was originally an unknown person. Being wanted was one thing, but Wulipo was a vast place with very few people who knew him. In addition, he rarely showed his face and was a nobody from beginning to end. Even when Luoyun Sect was at its peak, few people knew him. Who would have thought that he would suddenly become a tourist attraction? Who could stand that?
If we don't investigate thoroughly, wouldn't we be being sold out and then counting the money for the seller?
Upon hearing this, the elder of Shenxiao Palace looked cautious. After pondering for a while, he tentatively asked:
"Senior, please forgive my intrusion. We only know that you are a wanted person by the Flying Flower Sect on the mountain, but we don't know your specific name at all. We only learned about your exact location from others. As for why everyone knows about it, it's a long story, so please allow me to explain slowly."
As he spoke, the elder no longer concealed anything and laid out his selfish motives in detail, including the disciple who had been killed by the palace master, and the pros and cons of the matter. Li Sisui never expected that the first elder of Shenxiao Palace would be so cooperative.
With a slight thought, he subtly controlled the sound of their conversation within the Slow Sword Domain. The disciples outside could only see their lips moving, but they couldn't hear anything else. However, at this moment, everyone's mind was elsewhere, hoping that the Palace Master could return as soon as possible and annihilate the arrogant wanted criminal in front of them!
As disciples of the number one sect in Wulipo, it would be impossible for them not to have some pride. Being humiliated and beaten soundly by a sudden visitor, with no power to fight back, and the sect's first elder even admitting defeat in front of them, was a great disgrace they had not suffered for many years. How could they let it go? They only endured it because they were outmatched.
The First Elder recounted the story in detail, his words filled with helplessness and regret. After listening, Li Sisui suddenly realized that there were so many things involved, which was quite unexpected. Moreover, the instigator of this matter had already been executed on the spot, so he couldn't say anything more. He couldn't very well go and whip the corpse, could he?
Li Si let out a long sigh, suddenly feeling somewhat listless, as if he had punched a pile of cotton, feeling uncomfortable all over. Fortunately, he knew his own limitations, so the trip wasn't in vain. However, he really had no idea where to go next. Thinking about this, he couldn't help but hesitate. He casually withdrew his slow sword domain, not knowing where to go for a moment...
As an elder of the Divine Firmament Palace, he had long since become a shrewd and perceptive person, his ability to read people's expressions and demeanor was already unparalleled. Li Sisui's bewildered expression naturally did not escape his notice. After a dry cough, he solemnly said:
"Senior's swordsmanship is profound and his skills are unfathomable. The Sword God of Wulipo is indeed worthy of his reputation. With such extraordinary abilities, how could the mere Luoyun Sect be worthy of you? I wonder if Senior is interested in Shenxiao Palace?"
As expected of a seasoned veteran, one second he was admitting defeat and begging for mercy, and the next second he was trying to get close to and win him over. Elder, you are the epitome of being able to bend and stretch.
