Chapter 442: Fallen Into the Pit Again!
The Blood Spiritual Ginseng had firmly rooted itself in the soil, glowing brightly, as if it was preparing to undergo another tribulation.
When Su Yi and the Dark Golden Demon Falcon reached the mountain peak, Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, and the others were already waiting. The past two days had been uneventful, with nothing significant occurring.
Situ Muyang emerged from the cave, looking healthier, with a more vibrant complexion and an even more charming appearance.
As Su Yi observed him, he realized that two days ago, Situ Muyang had been severely injured. It seemed that his swift recovery was not just because of the powerful elixir Su Yi had provided, but also due to his own innate resilience.
It seemed this young man had many hidden abilities.
“It seems your recovery has gone smoothly.”
Su Yi greeted him warmly, as if meeting a long-lost family member.
“The direct disciples should be arriving soon, and the real competition for the Sword-patterned Stone will be in their hands. With their strength and speed, they’ll catch up to us in no time. We don’t have much time left. We need to secure some Sword-patterned Stones on the outskirts first. If not, it will be hard to venture into the heart of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords and face those direct disciples. We’ll lose any advantage.”
Situ Muyang explained to Su Yi, his youthful features still bearing a touch of innocence, yet also showing a hint of maturity and experience.
Situ Muyang had already started planning for the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords.
In the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, raw strength alone is not sufficient. The Sword-patterned Stone is essential, and battles are fought over it.
To acquire the Sword-patterned Stone, one must face various trials, seek out powerful demon beasts, and brave perilous regions.
“Is that so?”
Su Yi smiled faintly, appearing calm, though secretly impressed by Situ Muyang. Despite his youth, he possessed a clever mind, far beyond the typical second-generation heir.
“I see things differently.”
Su Yi expressed his disagreement, signaling that he had no intention of hunting demon beasts and their leaders.
The leaders of the demon beasts had already been subdued, and the Sword-patterned Stone now lay in Su Yi’s possession.
Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, and the others listened closely to the exchange between Su Yi and Situ Muyang, understanding that they had no room to interrupt and chose to remain silent.
“Can you share your thoughts?”
Situ Muyang asked, somewhat surprised. He knew that the person before him wasn’t ordinary, but he still wanted to hear Su Yi’s opinion.
“Besides the Sword-patterned Stone guarded by those demon beasts, is there anything else worth noting in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords?” Su Yi inquired.
“Apart from the Sword-patterned Stones guarded by demon beasts, there are likely others hidden in some dangerous areas. The Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords is a mysterious place. There are still undiscovered opportunities and chances. Even the experts from the Divine Sword School may not be aware of them. However, these chances seem to be concentrated in the deeper regions of the Battlefield,” Situ Muyang explained.
“Hehe, then that’s great.”
Su Yi chuckled, his eyes gleaming. He spoke to Situ Muyang, “Those undiscovered opportunities are the most valuable. Once missed, they’ll be gone forever. We should take advantage of the time before the direct disciples arrive and search for these unknown opportunities.”
“You make a good point,” Situ Muyang agreed, understanding the value of the opportunities hidden within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords.
“However, don’t forget that by searching for these unknown opportunities, we might not secure many Sword-patterned Stones. In the end, those who can fight at Spirit Sword Peak will be determined by the Sword-patterned Stones they possess!”
Situ Muyang added, glancing at Su Yi.
The Sword-patterned Stone is crucial, as it will decide the sixty-eight individuals who can battle at Spirit Sword Peak.
“Let the direct disciples handle the Sword-patterned Stones,” Su Yi said with a faint smile.
“But we won’t have any Sword-patterned Stones. How can we reach Spirit Sword Peak?”
Situ Muyang said seriously. For him, the unknown opportunities paled in comparison to the chance to battle the strongest direct disciples and ascend to the peak of Spirit Sword Peak.
“Those direct disciples will surely find the Sword-patterned Stones. In the end, we’ll only need to ‘borrow’ a few from them,” said Su Yi.
“Who would lend you their Sword-patterned Stones?” Situ Muyang gave Su Yi an incredulous look.
“Then we’ll just have to ‘borrow’ them using our strength. After all, this is the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, and there are no strict rules,” Su Yi said, raising his fist in the air.
“What are you implying…”
Situ Muyang was taken aback but soon understood. Su Yi wasn’t suggesting borrowing—they were planning to forcibly take the Sword-patterned Stones from the direct disciples.
“By forming an alliance, the two of us can dominate the battlefield. Unless, of course, you doubt your own strength and fear those direct disciples,” Su Yi teased, looking at Situ Muyang with a provoking expression.
“I fear no one, not even the direct disciples. I, Situ Muyang, am unafraid of anyone. Bring them on!” Situ Muyang proudly puffed out his chest, his eyes full of confidence. The direct disciples? They were nothing to him.
“Um…”
Xu Jiahui, Zhang Qing, Liu Ji, and the others forced smiles. Situ Muyang had walked into yet another trap. While his strength was formidable, he couldn’t compete with Su Yi in other areas.
“Then it’s decided. We’ll look for those opportunities and leave the Sword-patterned Stones to the others!”
Su Yi was pleased with this plan. He had already subdued the majority of the demon beast leaders in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, so there was no need for him to search for them himself.
Instead, the focus would be on finding those rumored hidden opportunities. Perhaps something valuable could be discovered.
Situ Muyang’s face darkened, his expression complex.
Situ Muyang wasn’t sure if Su Yi’s plan would work.
At the very least, he had never considered that they would end up “borrowing” Sword-patterned Stones directly from others.
With everything in place, Su Yi led Situ Muyang, Xu Jiahui, and the others aboard the Dark Golden Demon Falcon, heading deeper into the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords.
Situ Muyang was secretly curious. He couldn’t believe that Su Yi had managed to tame the Dark Golden Demon Falcon.
Taming a demon beast to serve as a mount was no easy feat.
“Something seems off. Have any of you noticed it?”
Soon, while riding the Dark Golden Demon Falcon through the mountains, Situ Muyang noticed something unusual.
The areas below were in disarray, with many demon beasts gathering and roaring. It wasn’t long before he saw groups of inner and outer disciples from the Divine Sword School in a chaotic state.
“It’s nothing unusual. There are many demon beasts here, and it’s hard to handle them, but thankfully, we can avoid them,” Su Yi responded calmly.
“Is that so?” Situ Muyang remained skeptical, sensing that something wasn’t quite right.
