"Nothingmuchhappened,thoseso-calleddirectdisciplesintheDivineSwordSchool,eventhoserankedhigherintheSwordTower,arenothingmorethanmediocre,"SituMuyangshookhishead,exudingasenseofconfidencefromhisyouthfulface.

SituLiuyun’sgazetwitched,hewaswellawareofthestrengthandtalentofthosedirectdiscipleswhorankedhighintheSwordToweroftheDivineSwordSchool.

Eachofthosediscipleswasaremarkabletalent,yetatthismoment,theywerebeingtreatedwithsuchindifference.

Andthispersonwashisownson,whichmadehimfeelquitehelpless.

InthisvisittotheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwords,SituLiuyunwasoriginallysomewhatconcernedaboutSituMuyang’spersonality,fearingthathemightnotvaluethedirectdisciplesoftheDivineSwordSchoolandendupsufferinglossesintheend.

However,ifSituLiuyun’sidentitywasrevealedinadvance,itwouldlosethepurposeofhoninghimwithintheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwords.

However,whenSituLiuyunfinallylearnedabouttheoutcome,hecouldn’thelpbutfeeldumbfounded.Itwastrulydifficulttosaywhetherthisladhadbroughthonortohimselfortarnishedhisreputation.

HewasastonishedthathemanagedtoescapetheclutchesofthecountlessdisciplesoftheDivineSwordSchoolaftersnatchingthespacebags.Ifhehadn’treceivedconfirmedinformation,hewouldhavefoundithardtobelieve.

However,SituLiuyunalsounderstoodhisson’stalent.Thistime,withintheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwords,hiscultivationonceagainskyrocketed.Withhiscurrentlevelofstrength,hetrulyhadtheabilitytobattleagainstthoseextraordinaryindividualswhorankedhighontheSwordTower.

"However,thistimeIobtainedmanyopportunitieswithintheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwords.Butifitweren’tforSuYi,Iwouldn’thaveobtainedsuchchances,"saidSituMuyangearnestlytoSituLiuyun,andthenhetookoutajadeboxfromthespacebagandhandedittoSituLiuyun.

SituLiuyun’seyesflickeredasheopenedthejadebox.Afragrantmedicinalscentwafted,andtheradiantDarkSpiritFruitappearedbeforehiseyes.

"This..."HowcouldSituLiuyunnotrecognizetheDarkSpiritFruit,butatthismoment,asheexaminedtheDarkSpiritFruitbeforehim,hiseyescouldn’thelpbutrevealastonishment.

"IsthisDarkSpiritFruitobtainedwithintheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwords?"SituLiuyunimmediatelyturnedtoSituMuyangandasked.HowcouldhenotseethattheDarkSpiritFruitwithintheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwordswasabsolutelydifferent?ItwasvisibletothenakedeyethatthisDarkSpiritFruitseemedmuchstrongerthantheonesfoundwithintheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwords.

"ThisisindeedtheDarkSpiritFruitfromwithintheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwords.Itsmedicinalpropertiesshouldhaveincreasedsignificantly,"SituMuyangnodded.

"Enhanceditsmedicinaleffectiveness,"SituLiuyun’seyesflickeredandradiatedwithbrilliance.ThisDarkSpiritFruit,itnotonlyimproveditsmedicinaleffectiveness,butitalsoappearedtohaveelevatedtoamuchhigherlevelcomparedtoregularDarkSpiritFruits.

Atthesametime,SituLiuyunwasevenmoreastonished.HehadoriginallysensedatremendoussurgeinSituMuyang’scultivationlevel,whichmadehimguessthathissondirectlyconsumingtheDarkSpiritFruitwithoutseekinghisadvice.

However,atthismoment,itseemsthatSituMuyangdidn’tconsumetheDarkSpiritFruit,butinsteadobtainedanotherfortuitousopportunity.

ThefortuitousopportunityseemstohaveasignificantconnectionwithSuYi.

"IntheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwords,anewspacehasemerged.Areyouawareofthis?"SituLiuyun’sgazeflickeredslightly,indicatingthathewasponderingsomething.HethenturnedtoSituMuyangandaskedonceagain.

"I,alongwithSuYiandothers,werethefirsttoenter.Webarelyescapedwithourlives,anditwasSuYiwhosavedus,"SituMuyangreplied.

"Whatisinsidethere?"SituLiuyun’seyesflickered.HeknewverywellwhattheBattlefieldofTenThousandSwordswas.Everythingthatoccurredinside,evenevadingthesearchoftheformidableexpertsfromtheDivineSwordSchool,wasundoubtedlyextraordinary.

"Therearequiteafewspiritualherbsanddemonbeasts,butthereweren’tanyotherparticularlynoteworthydiscoveries."SituMuyang’sgazedarkenedasheconcealedtheexistenceofthemassivedivineavianskeletons.HecouldsensethattheremustbesomeconnectionbetweenSuYiandthevanisheddivineavianremains.

However,SuYihasgreattrustinhim,knowinghistrueidentityandexposingtheearth-shatteringsecrethecarriesonhim,soSituMuyangdoesn’twishtoburdenSuYi.

ObservingtheexpressiononSituMuyang’sface,SituLiuyun’sdemeanorsubtlychanged,hisgazeshiftingwithuncertainbrilliance.Uncertainwhethertobelieveordoubt,hethencontinuedtoinquire,"Atthetimewhentheexitopened,therewassaidtobeatribulation.ItissaidthatyouandSuYiwerenearby.Whathappened,exactly?"

"Wedon’tknoweither.Suddenly,heavenlythunderstruck.Ifwehadn’tescapedquickly,wewouldhavesufferedthetribulation,"SituMuyangsaid,withlingeringfearinhisexpression.Concealinganytraceofemotion,heknewthathecouldn’tletSuYibetroubledbythematteroftheBloodSpiritualGinseng’stribulation.

WatchingSituMuyang,SituLiuyunobservedinsilenceforawhile,hisexpressioncarryinganairofprofoundinscrutability.

"Idon’thaveanythingelsetoattendto,soIwilltakemyleavefornow.Inthreedays,IwillhavetobattleagainstthosedirectdisciplesoftheDivineSwordSchool,soIneedtoprepare,"SituMuyangsaidtohisfather,feelingsomewhatapprehensive.

"Goahead,butbecautiousinthreedays.Althoughyourcultivationhasadvancedsignificantly,thediscipleswhocanascendtoSpiritSwordPeakthreedaysfromnowwillnotbeeasytodealwith,"SituLiuyunreturnedthejadeboxcontainingtheDarkSpiritFruitstoSituMuyang,wavinghissleevetoindicatehisdeparture.

"Don’tworry,Iamnotsomeoneeasilyprovoked.Rememberthatyoupromisedme.IfIsucceed,thenyouwon’tbeabletostopmefromattendingthatgrandgatheringtogether!"SituMuyangputawaythejadebox,hisgazefilledwithconfidence,andhappilydeparted.

AsSituMuyangdeparted,SituLiuyun’sgazecontinuedtobeimmersedincontemplation.
