Chapter 519: Situ Liuyun’s Plan!
“Nothing much happened. Those so-called direct disciples in the Divine Sword School, even the ones ranked higher in the Sword Tower, are nothing more than mediocre,” Situ Muyang said, shaking his head, his youthful face radiating confidence.
Situ Liuyun’s gaze twitched. He was well aware of the strength and talent of those direct disciples who ranked high in the Sword Tower of the Divine Sword School.
Each of those disciples was a remarkable talent, yet at this moment, they were being treated with such indifference.
And this person was his own son, which made him feel quite helpless.
During this visit to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, Situ Liuyun had initially been somewhat concerned about Situ Muyang’s personality. He feared that his son might not fully appreciate the strength of the direct disciples of the Divine Sword School and could end up suffering losses as a result.
However, if Situ Liuyun’s true identity were revealed prematurely, it would defeat the purpose of honing Situ Muyang’s skills within the harsh environment of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords.
However, when Situ Liuyun finally learned about the outcome, he couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded. It was truly difficult to say whether this lad had brought honor to himself or tarnished his reputation.
He was astonished that he managed to escape the clutches of the countless disciples of the Divine Sword School after snatching the space bags. If he hadn’t received confirmed information, he would have found it hard to believe.
However, Situ Liuyun also understood his son’s immense talent. This time, within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, Situ Muyang’s cultivation had once again skyrocketed. With his current level of strength, he truly possessed the ability to contend with those extraordinary individuals who ranked high in the Sword Tower.
“However, this time I obtained many opportunities within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. But if it weren’t for Su Yi, I wouldn’t have obtained such chances,” said Situ Muyang earnestly to Situ Liuyun, and then he took out a jade box from the space bag and handed it to Situ Liuyun.
Situ Liuyun’s eyes flickered as he opened the jade box. A fragrant medicinal scent wafted, and the radiant Dark Spirit Fruit appeared before his eyes.
“This…” Situ Liuyun’s expression shifted as he examined the Dark Spirit Fruit before him. How could he not recognize it? Yet, at that moment, as he closely scrutinized the fruit, his eyes couldn’t help but reveal a look of astonishment.
“Is this the Dark Spirit Fruit obtained within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords?” Situ Liuyun immediately turned to Situ Muyang, his voice tinged with curiosity. How could he not see that this particular Dark Spirit Fruit was absolutely different? It was clear to the naked eye that this fruit seemed far more potent than the ones typically found within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords.
“This is indeed the Dark Spirit Fruit from within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. Its medicinal properties should have increased significantly,” Situ Muyang nodded.
“Enhanced its medicinal effectiveness,” Situ Liuyun’s eyes flickered and radiated with brilliance. This Dark Spirit Fruit, not only improved its medicinal effectiveness, but it also appeared to have elevated to a much higher level compared to regular Dark Spirit Fruits.
At the same time, Situ Liuyun was even more astonished. He had originally sensed a tremendous surge in Situ Muyang’s cultivation level, which made him guess that his son directly consuming the Dark Spirit Fruit without seeking his advice.
However, at this moment, it seems that Situ Muyang didn’t consume the Dark Spirit Fruit, but instead obtained another fortuitous opportunity.
The fortuitous opportunity seems to have a significant connection with Su Yi.
“In the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, a new space has emerged. Are you aware of this?” Situ Liuyun’s gaze flickered slightly, indicating that he was pondering something. He then turned to Situ Muyang and asked once again.
“I, along with Su Yi and others, were the first to enter. We barely escaped with our lives, and it was Su Yi who saved us,” Situ Muyang replied.
“What is inside there?” Situ Liuyun’s eyes flickered. He knew very well what the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords was. Everything that occurred inside, even evading the search of the formidable experts from the Divine Sword School, was undoubtedly extraordinary.
“There are quite a few spiritual herbs and demon beasts, but there weren’t any other particularly noteworthy discoveries.” Situ Muyang’s gaze darkened as he concealed the existence of the massive divine avian skeletons. He could sense that there must be some connection between Su Yi and the vanished divine avian remains.
However, Su Yi has great trust in him, knowing his true identity and exposing the earth-shattering secret he carries on him, so Situ Muyang doesn’t wish to burden Su Yi.
Observing the expression on Situ Muyang’s face, Situ Liuyun’s demeanor subtly changed, his gaze shifting with uncertain brilliance. Uncertain whether to believe or doubt, he then continued to inquire, “At the time when the exit opened, there was said to be a tribulation. It is said that you and Su Yi were nearby. What happened, exactly?”
“We don’t know either. Suddenly, heavenly thunderstruck. If we hadn’t escaped quickly, we would have suffered the tribulation,” Situ Muyang said, with lingering fear in his expression. Concealing any trace of emotion, he knew that he couldn’t let Su Yi be troubled by the matter of the Blood Spiritual Ginseng’s tribulation.
Watching Situ Muyang, Situ Liuyun observed in silence for a while, his expression carrying an air of profound inscrutability.
“I don’t have anything else to attend to, so I’ll take my leave for now. In three days, I’ll be battling those direct disciples of the Divine Sword School, so I need to prepare,” Situ Muyang said to his father, a hint of apprehension in his voice.
“Go ahead, but be cautious in three days. Although your cultivation has advanced significantly, the disciples who will ascend to Spirit Sword Peak will not be easy to deal with,” Situ Liuyun replied, handing the jade box containing the Dark Spirit Fruits back to Situ Muyang. With a wave of his sleeve, he gestured for his son to depart.
“Don’t worry, I am not someone easily provoked. Remember that you promised me. If I succeed, then you won’t be able to stop me from attending that grand gathering together!” Situ Muyang put away the jade box, his gaze filled with confidence, and happily departed.
As Situ Muyang departed, Situ Liuyun’s gaze continued to be immersed in contemplation.
“I didn’t expect the junior sect leader to make such astonishing progress. It seems that on Spirit Sword Peak three days from now, he will truly make a remarkable impact!” a voice came, and an elderly man approached.
Situ Liuyun raised his eyes slightly and asked the newcomer, “Do you think there is any truth to my son’s words?”
“Whether it’s partially true or not, one thing is certain—the relationship between your son and Su Yi is surprisingly close. Perhaps everything that happened in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords was the result of their joint efforts, or maybe they are hiding something for Su Yi,” the newcomer in gray robes said, his demeanor gentle yet sharpness gleaming in his bright eyes. There was an air of shrewdness about him. He was none other than the Right Dharma Protector.
“The Dark Spirit Fruits, the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree, the opened space, and even the object of tribulation crossing, it seems that everything is related to these two youngsters,” Situ Liuyun murmured lightly.
“It seems that you already have some plans in mind, doesn’t it?” The Right Dharma Protector looked at Situ Liuyun, based on his understanding of the sect leader, there should be some plans brewing in his mind.
“Three days from now is the Grand Swordsmanship Competition. I actually want to see how far that young man can go. As for other matters, let’s discuss them after three days,” Situ Liuyun’s eyes held a considerable amount of anticipation, with a glimmer of hidden radiance.
…
The night was hazy, and the night breeze was cool.
Inside the Divine Sword School, there were exotic flowers and rare herbs spread everywhere, emanating a distant and gentle fragrance that refreshed the soul.
“Hmph!”
In the courtyard, amidst the tranquility and elegance of the pavilion, Mu Yao’s rosy lips were tender and slightly pouted. Under the moonlight, her clear, watery eyes held a semblance of resentment and anger, yet they exuded an adorable air of frustration. Unfortunately, at that moment, there was no one around to witness her expression.
