Chapter 483: Identity Exposed!
At the very least, Meng Xuan was certain that these two boys were definitely not real outer disciples. It was also impossible for inner disciples to possess such strength.
Meng Xuan found it strange. If these two were direct disciples, then as a direct disciple of the Divine Sword School himself, he should have known about them.
“It doesn’t matter who we are,” Su Yi said with a smile. “Tell me about the situation outside.”
“Yes, how did you get in?”
Situ Muyang’s eyes were sharp, but his face still held a touch of youthful innocence. Both young men looked completely harmless.
“You… I got it! You must be Su Yi!”
Suddenly, Meng Xuan recalled the rumors. One of these two carried a striking broken sword—exactly like the famed Su Yi.
“Am I that famous?”
Su Yi raised an eyebrow, surprised by his growing notoriety.
Situ Muyang looked at Su Yi helplessly. With his audacity, it would be hard for him not to become famous.
Meng Xuan was stunned. It seemed his guess was correct. If he had known it was this guy, he would have been more prepared. Yet, he had unknowingly stumbled right into his path.
“Let’s cut to the chase. How did you get in here? What’s been happening outside lately?”
Su Yi didn’t bother avoiding the topic of his fame. What mattered now was gathering information.
Meng Xuan hesitated. After all, he was a direct disciple of the Divine Sword School, a known figure within the Sword Tower. Among his generation, he was well-respected.
Now, he had not only suffered severe injuries but had also lost his space bag. If this news spread, it would already be humiliating enough. If he was further threatened into revealing information, his reputation would be in complete ruins.
Initially, Meng Xuan planned to endure in silence, wondering what these two could really do to him.
But in the end, he had no choice. Under the wary and sharp gazes of Su Yi and Situ Muyang, he begrudgingly revealed everything they wanted to know.
Su Yi had threatened him, saying he would strip him naked and throw him somewhere for all the Divine Sword School disciples to see.
From Meng Xuan’s account, Su Yi and Situ Muyang learned that he wasn’t the only one who had entered this place. The ancient forest had inexplicably opened, revealing itself.
Many others had entered one after another, each seeking fortune and opportunity. Meng Xuan had merely been one of the first to arrive.
During this time, several incidents had also occurred within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords—especially after the direct disciples entered.
Many direct disciples had outstanding cultivation bases. Their first objective upon entering the battlefield had been to search for Dark Spirit Fruits and Sword-patterned Stones.
However, despite their efforts, no one had seen a trace of the Dark Spirit Fruits.
Meanwhile, the direct disciples had also caught wind of what had happened to the inner disciples.
“Some say you single-handedly took all the Dark Spirit Fruits,” Meng Xuan said, staring at Su Yi with a complicated expression. “Others claim you controlled the demon beasts and looted all the inner disciples’ space bags, taking a massive number of Sword-patterned Stones and causing a great plundering!”
Meng Xuan’s heart trembled slightly as he gazed at Su Yi.
This young boy—who didn’t even seem that old—had plundered tens of thousands of inner disciples within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords.
He had taken all the Dark Spirit Fruits and now carried countless Sword-patterned Stones.
This was truly shocking!
“What…?”
Su Yi was taken aback.
Had the news already spread?
As far as he knew, no one should have known about this.
In an instant, Su Yi’s mind began analyzing the situation.
Xu Jiahui and Zhang Qing knew the most about it, but they had always remained close to him. If this news had spread, it would put them at great risk as well. So naturally, they wouldn’t have exposed it.
Situ Muyang also didn’t know much, aside from the fact that the Dark Spirit Fruits were with Su Yi. He had also remained close to Su Yi, making it unlikely that he was the source.
Su Yi couldn’t think of anyone else—unless someone else also understood the language of beasts or had picked up on some clues and pieced everything together.
“So it was you who did it…”
Situ Muyang looked at Su Yi, his gaze filled with astonishment.
Having been inside the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords all along, he knew exactly what had happened—the demon beasts had gathered into a Beast Tide, plundering all the inner disciples. He had long wondered about the cause.
Now, hearing this news, he replayed everything in his mind.
If Su Yi could subdue the Dark Golden Demon Falcon and the leader of the Wolf-headed Demon Bats, then it was entirely possible that he had also subdued other beast leaders.
Based on what Situ Muyang had learned about Su Yi in this short time, he was absolutely capable of such a feat.
So, this great plundering that had shaken the entire battlefield—where tens of thousands of inner disciples were looted—had been orchestrated by this guy all along!
“Looking back, we’re on the same side.”
Su Yi grinned at Situ Muyang.
He then turned back to Meng Xuan, eager to find out who had spread the news.
Unfortunately, Meng Xuan had no idea.
“All the direct disciples, including Yun Lingfeng, Gu Chenyou, Gong Qi, and Liu Yunchuan, are searching for you,” Meng Xuan continued. “Many others have also formed an alliance and are scouring the battlefield for you.”
Meng Xuan didn’t think Su Yi would be able to escape.
After all, he had taken all the Dark Spirit Fruits. People like Liu Yunchuan would never let him go. There was simply no way to escape within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords.
“This news is useful.”
Su Yi fell into thought.
Now, he had gathered all the information he needed.
With the ancient forest fully opened, Su Yi suspected it had something to do with the divine bird’s bones. Meanwhile, word of his actions had already spread, making this area too dangerous to remain in.
Su Yi wasn’t afraid of ordinary disciples from the Divine Sword School, but the direct disciples were a different story.
Some of them were exceptionally powerful and considered rare talents.
Su Yi wasn’t intimidated, but with so many of them around, now was not the time for a head-on confrontation. His goal was still the grand rewards that the Divine Sword School would offer in the end.
With the ancient forest now completely exposed, there was no need to search for an exit anymore.
“Let’s go.”
Su Yi signaled Situ Muyang and left with confident strides.
As dusk settled, the sky burned with the glow of the setting sun. The golden light cast long shadows across the mountains.
The towering cliffs and rugged trees made for an excellent hiding place—secluded and difficult for anyone to reach except birds.
Both Su Yi and Situ Muyang used their own methods to rise into the air, preparing to spend the night.
“Did you really plunder all the inner disciples?”
Situ Muyang looked at Su Yi, still finding it hard to believe.
After all, tens of thousands of inner disciples had been affected!
“Of course,” Su Yi admitted without hesitation. “But since we’re allies now, you’ll definitely get your share of the benefits.”
His eyes gleamed with excitement.
