"How terrifying!"
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
He had only unlocked his third spirit meridian slightly more than ten days ago.
If he were to cultivate normally in Tianhuang Mainland, it would take him at least a year to unlock his fourth spirit meridian.
To think that Su Zimo's fourth spirit meridian would have already appeared the moment he stepped into the ancient battlefield!
Given his cultivation speed, he would be able to unlock his fourth spirit meridian in less than 10 days!
Sensing the rich spirit qi in the surroundings, some of the cultivators breathed in greedily with intoxicated expressions, wishing they could cultivate immediately.
Standing at the front of the crowd, Jiang Yu turned around and swept his hawk-like gaze across the crowd. With a calm expression, he declared, "Everyone, listen to me!"
Gradually, everyone's voices died down.
"Everyone, this is the ancient battlefield. Every step is filled with danger and danger."
Pausing for a moment, Jiang Yu glanced at Su Zimo intentionally and said in a deep voice, "No matter what your identity is outside, you have to listen to my orders in the ancient battlefield if you want to survive!"
When he heard that, Su Zimo frowned.
Jiang Yu was the commander appointed by the emperor after all. Furthermore, he was the one with the highest cultivation realm among everyone present – nobody doubted him.
Jiang Yu continued, "Some people, I know that you're quite capable. However, I'm telling you, as long as you act brazenly in the ancient battlefield, you'll definitely die! Don't think that you're amazing just because you can kill someone above your cultivation realm. Some of the disciples of the top sects here can do the same and are even stronger than you! This is what they mean by there's always someone better than you! "
Although Jiang Yu did not say it explicitly, everyone could tell that he was clearly referring to Su Zimo.
Su Zimo lowered his gaze and remained silent.
Jiang Yu was clearly hostile towards him.
Su Zimo did not know how that hostility came about.
It could have come from Ji Yaoxue.
It could also have come from Dai Xu who died in his hands.
After all, there was a high chance that Dai Xu was acquainted with Jiang Yu in the palace.
Furthermore, given Dai Xu's capabilities, if he did not die in his hands, he would most likely enter the ancient battlefield as well.
Su Zimo remained silent. Of course, it wasn't that he was afraid of Jiang Yu. He just couldn't be bothered with him.
In this unfamiliar Primordial Battlefield, there was no need for Su Zimo to attack this person over some animosity.
The people from Misty Peak were unhappy, but since Jiang Yu didn't mention any names, they didn't say anything.
Ji Yaoxue frowned slightly and shouted softly, "Commander Jiang!"
Jiang Yu glanced sideways and asked, "What are your orders, Third Princess?"
Suddenly, Su Zimo felt that something was wrong.
Even though the emperor had appointed this person as the leader of their group, Ji Yaoxue was still superior to him in terms of status.
But now, Su Zimo had a feeling that Jiang Yu was not respectful towards Ji Yaoxue and there was even a hint of frivolity in his tone.
This is very strange.
If Jiang Yu had been hostile to him, it would have made sense.
However, Jiang Yu's attitude towards Ji Yaoxue was something worth pondering about.
Ji Yaoxue did not notice anything amiss and merely reminded, "Commander Jiang, let's hurry. We have to find a place to rest before nightfall."
"Yes."
Jiang Yu nodded in response.
The ancient battlefield was filled with living beings from the ancient era. At night, beasts and birds roamed the area!
If the forest at night was the world of demons, then the night was the world of demons.
In that case, the ancient battlefield at night would be the domain of the ancient living beings. Without immense strength, staying outside at night would result in certain death!
Typically speaking, there would be massive cities in the depths of the ancient battlefield where many cultivators and experts gathered.
However, there were almost no cities at the borders of the ancient battlefield.
Jiang Yu withdrew a map from his storage bag and compared it carefully before arriving before Ji Yaoxue. "Third Princess, we're here. There's a mountain peak closest to here. There's a cave at the foot of the mountain that can be used as a temporary foothold. "
"Yes, let's go there."
Ji Yaoxue nodded.
This map was drawn by cultivators who had survived the ancient battlefield. Apart from Jiang Yu, no one else had a copy of it.
As Ji Yaoxue and Jiang Yu were discussing, Su Zimo turned around and whispered to everyone from Misty Peak, "Stay by my side later and don't get separated."
"Night Spirit."
Su Zimo patted Night Spirit on the head and pointed to Xiaoning.
Night Spirit understood and came to Su Xiaoning's side to protect her along the way.
After making those arrangements, Su Zimo was finally relieved.
Right then, Jiang Yu arrived before everyone and said in a deep voice, "I'll arrange the formation for the journey. The ten cultivators of the Spirit Ranking will stand at the periphery. The weaker Elixir Refinement Masters and Talisman Masters will walk in the middle while the third princess will walk in the innermost. I'll walk in front with the other eight Great Zhou guards to scout the way for everyone. "
There was nothing wrong with that arrangement and some of the Elixir Refinement Masters and Talisman Masters thanked him.
"Let's go!"
Waving his hand, Jiang Yu identified the direction and led everyone towards their destination.
The surroundings were barren and filled with gravel and strange rocks. There was no greenery at all and the place was filled with a dead silence that was somewhat depressing.
Thankfully, they did not encounter any danger along the way.
After walking for about two hours, Jiang Yu suddenly paused and exclaimed softly.
Out of curiosity, many cultivators looked forward.
Not far away, there were pitch-black skeletons on the gravel. There was no flesh at all and they had long withered.
After a quick count, there were about a few dozen corpses, each of which had a storage pouch beside them.
The eyes of many cultivators lit up – it was clear that those storage bags were ownerless!
That was an opportunity!
Nobody expected that they would encounter such an opportunity the moment they stepped foot into the ancient battlefield.
The eight Great Zhou guards at the front were eager and looked at Jiang Yu instinctively.
Jiang Yu nodded, tacitly acknowledging that they could take the storage bags away.
The eight guards took large strides and rushed towards the corpses in front of them.
Many cultivators behind them could not hold themselves back either and sprinted forward, wanting to get their hands on a storage bag.
"Don't go!"
Right then, Su Zimo frowned and hollered softly.
Su Zimo sensed a hint of danger.
Furthermore, Night Spirit's reaction confirmed that as well!
At that moment, Night Spirit lowered his head slightly and growled to the front, blocking Su Xiaoning.
Initially, everyone from Misty Peak wanted to join in the fun as well. However, they paused instinctively when they heard Su Zimo's voice.
Although they were puzzled, everyone chose to believe in Su Zimo.
However, apart from those from Misty Peak, the other cultivators, including some Elixir Refinement Masters and Talisman Masters, ran over as well.
The only ones who were still standing on the spot were those from Misty Peak, Ji Yaoxue, Jun Hao of Azure Frost Sect and Jiang Yu!
Initially, Jun Hao of Azure Frost Sect wanted to head forward as well. However, when he caught sight of Jiang Yu standing still, he could not help but frown and a cold glint flashed through his eyes. In the end, he did not head forward.
