Chapter 145: Golden Thunder Bamboo Sword
Even mother pigs aren't spared?
Su Zhan glanced at Elder Huo, who died with his eyes open. Truly despicable!
Then, he looked at those several Elders.
Feeling Su Zhan's gaze, those people trembled, and two of them even wet their pants. They knew that whether they could survive now depended on Su Zhan's will.
Nie Yuan's mind raced, and he suddenly spoke loudly, "Lord Su, besides exposing Elder Huo's conspiracy, there's another matter!"
Su Zhan was a bit surprised, "You have something else?"
"Now that the position of the Sect Master is vacant, Lord Su possesses extremely strong strength, upright character, and unparalleled talent. I would like to invite you, Lord Su, to become the new Sect Master of our Sole Sword Sect!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other Elders also quickly spoke up.
"Yes, please have Lord Su become our new Sect Master!"
"Lord Su is both virtuous and talented, no one else is qualified for this position except for Lord Su!"
"I'm willing to support Lord Su!"
The Elders expressed their loyalty fervently.
They weren't fools either. If Su Zhan became the Sect Master, they would all be on the same side. It's likely that they would be spared their lives somehow.
Su Zhan also understood what they were thinking and said calmly, "I won't stay here for long, and I have no intention of becoming any Sect Master. As for all of you… Although you didn't act against me, I know what's in your hearts. Since you didn't make a move, I won't kill you either. Except for Nie Yuan, cripple your cultivation and leave!"
Cripple their cultivation!
The Elders exchanged glances, feeling bitter in their hearts.
But no one dared to defy Su Zhan's orders. Each of them crippled their own cultivation and left in a pitiful state.
At this moment, Su Zhan looked at Nie Yuan.
Nie Yuan quickly expressed his gratitude with tears in his eyes, "Thank you, Lord Su, for sparing my life!"
"Nie Yuan, I spare you not only because you captured Elder Huo, but also because I need someone to supervise the Sole Sword Sect for me," Su Zhan said, "I have no intention of becoming any Sect Master, but your sect must rein in your bullying behavior. There should be limits, and you should give people a chance to live. From now on, let the disciples focus on cultivation and refrain from bullying the weak."
"Yes, yes! I will follow Lord Su's instructions!" Nie Yuan hurriedly nodded.
"Alright, lead me to your sect's treasure vault!" Su Zhan ordered.
"Yes!"
Nie Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and expressed heartfelt gratitude to Su Zhan.
Soon, led by Nie Yuan, Su Zhan entered the sect's treasure vault.
"Where are the books on body movement techniques?" Su Zhan scanned the wooden shelves where the treasures were placed and asked.
"Lord Su, please follow me!" Nie Yuan quickly led Su Zhan to the wooden shelf containing the books on body movement techniques and respectfully said, "These body movement techniques are the best in our sect, far superior to those in the library. Lord Su, which body movement technique are you interested in?"
"I'll take a look myself." Su Zhan said and began to look through the books on body movement techniques one by one.
Before long, he chose a mid-grade escapism technique called "Thunderlight Escape." It was suitable for short-distance bursts of speed.
With his powerful physical strength, he could instantly burst forward to an enemy and strike them down with a punch!
Then, he checked some palm techniques and hand techniques, but there was nothing particularly suitable, so he didn't choose any. Ordinary palm techniques wouldn't be of much use to him.
"Hmm? This sword…"
Su Zhan's gaze fell on a golden longsword, and he noticed that the material of the sword seemed to be bamboo or wood, not metal. He became curious and reached out to grab the sword.
"Be careful, Lord Su!" Nie Yuan quickly warned, "That's the Golden Thunder Bamboo Sword. You must cultivate lightning attribute techniques to control it, or else you will be struck by lightning from the swor- How could this be possible?!" Before Nie Yuan could finish speaking, he saw that Su Zhan had grabbed the Golden Thunder Bamboo Sword without any harm, leaving him bewildered.
Ignoring Nie Yuan's astonishment, Su Zhan activated his unlimited treasure halo. Under this halo, there was no treasure in the world that he couldn't use, let alone a sword.
This sword seemed to be at the level of high-grade King Tier, and because of the unique material, the Thunder Bamboo, it had a special effect against demonic enemies. Against evil cultivators or demonic cultivators, this sword was almost equivalent to those half-saint-level treasures.
In his earliest memories, weapons were categorized as Ordinary, Spiritual, Profound, King, and Divine.
However, after perusing so many books, Su Zhan knew that what was called Divine should actually be called Saint. It was just that the Azure City Su family's strength was too weak back then, so there were some misconceptions about these divisions.
Half-saint-level treasures were basically failed attempts at crafting saint-level treasures. They were weaker than saint-level treasures but stronger than ordinary King level treasures, hence the name "half-saint."
Infusing true qi into the Golden Thunder Bamboo Sword, small golden electric arcs appeared. These were the bamboo sword's Purging Thunder, and after using them, the sword would replenish them by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth after some time.
"This sword is pretty good. I'll take it." After feeling the power of the Golden Thunder Bamboo Sword, Su Zhan nodded in satisfaction.
The Great Sun Star Sword was his lifesource sword, but it needed nurturing and growth most of the time. Naturally, he also needed a sword for daily use. This Golden Thunder Bamboo Sword had far greater power than the Ink Dragon Sword and was just perfect for his needs.
On the side, Nie Yuan looked at the thunder and lightning, recalling Su Zhan's invincible scene from earlier. For a moment, he felt somewhat regretful that Su Zhan didn't agree to become the Sect Master of Sole Sword Sect. If Su Zhan had taken on that role, their sect would undoubtedly prosper, and Nie Yuan himself would have naturally enjoyed many benefits.
However, it was a pity that Su Zhan didn't even spare a glance…
Nie Yuan sighed inwardly.
From now on, if there were any more people like Old Huo trying to harm Su Zhan, he would just catch them and offer them to Su Zhan as a tribute! After all, it was impossible to truly defeat such a freak like Su Zhan, so it was better to earn some merits! Nie Yuan thought to himself, becoming even more respectful towards Su Zhan.
Afterward, Su Zhan continued to search and plunder. He didn't hesitate to take various pills and unique treasures.
After leaving the treasure vault, he went to the Sect Master's Hall. The place was very spacious and had the densest spiritual energy among the many peaks, making it very suitable for cultivation.
In the following days, Su Zhan began to practice the Thunderlight Escape and the Celestial Dragon Sword Technique.
As for Nie Yuan, he designated the mountain where Su Zhan was located as a forbidden area, strictly prohibiting anyone from disturbing him. He also initiated reforms in the Sole Sword Sect, abolishing all the rules that exploited other forces and cultivators and imposed stricter discipline on the disciples.
The news of the turmoil in the Sole Sword Sect spread far and wide over the next few days. Within a radius of thousands of miles, all major forces were aware of it.
Such things couldn't be hidden because, after all, there was only one golden-robed elder left in the entire sect, Nie Yuan. How could they keep it a secret?
However, although they learned about the situation, no force dared to take any rash actions. They were not fools. The mysterious Su Zhan, who was rumored to have single-handedly killed the Sole Sword Sect's Sect Master and dozens of golden-robed elders, was still in the Sole Sword Sect!
There was no way for them to benefit from going there now.
Likely, the only possibility was death!
