"Let's rest here for the night." Su Yun quietly landed on the ground.
The Coiling Dragon Mountain Range was located in the depths of Lin Yuan. The spiritual beasts that roamed around here posed a fatal threat to Su Yun.
If it weren't for Yixie's help, Su Yun would've been eaten by the spiritual beasts long ago.
"I wonder how those people from Quicksand managed to pass through here safely." Su Yun asked while cutting a tree trunk with a knife.
"They call the Coiling Dragon the Ancestral Dragon. It's the overlord of Lin Yuan. As its followers, the people from Quicksand wouldn't be targeted by the spiritual beasts in Lin Yuan." Yixie said.
Su Yun was stunned. "That's why they were able to control the seventh-level spiritual beasts last time."
"Yes, it's all thanks to that guy from Aoran College's forbidden area." Yixie said in a low voice. "I'm afraid it won't be long before he causes trouble again."
"Let the Canglan Academy worry about those matters." Su Yun acted as if it had nothing to do with him, as if it had nothing to do with him.
It was obvious that Aoran College's true strength wasn't just what it looked like on the surface. A force that had been established for thousands of years definitely wouldn't be simple.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to watch the fire burn across the river." Yixie said in a low voice.
Su Yun knew what he was talking about. He didn't say anything else and went straight into the hole that he had just dug. He pulled down the tree bark and draped it over the hole. If one didn't pay attention, it would be hard to notice that there was another world inside the tree trunk.
Every time someone passed by, Yixie would warn Su Yun in advance, and Su Yun would immediately stop cultivating. The night was quite peaceful.
The next day, Su Yun walked out early.
"There's still a few more days to go." The sun was just right, and Su Yun's injuries were almost healed.
His feet moved, and his body swept up like the wind, flickering above the treetops at an extremely fast speed.
"I'm about to break through!" Su Yun, who was traveling at an extremely fast speed, immediately stopped and sat cross-legged on the ground.
The surrounding spiritual energy surged, the wind blew, the grass and trees moved, and the beasts and birds flew.
Yixie knew that something was wrong. The Heaven Seizing Sword flew out from Su Yun's back and formed a light screen that enveloped Su Yun. Only then did the surrounding commotion slowly calm down.
However, such a commotion still attracted the attention of some people.
"Oh no!" Although Su Yun knew that now was not the time for a breakthrough, he had no choice but to complete it.
Some of the players that Quicksand had sent out to search for Su Yun were already rushing towards Su Yun's location!
Inside the light screen, spiritual energy was surging. This kind of small advancement did not require much spiritual energy from heaven and earth, so there was no problem at all in such an environment.
"This is …" One of them rushed over, but he didn't make a move rashly. "Could it be that he's breaking through?"
"A small breakthrough and such a big commotion. This person can't be underestimated." Another person said.
"He's here alone. He's definitely not from Quicksand."
"But he doesn't look like the person who stole the Black Dragon Pearl." Someone was puzzled.
"Yes, that person is a strong man. Their stature is too different."
Su Yun had already returned to his original appearance, so these people were still somewhat suspicious.
"But their realms are similar. It's just that that person's combat power is completely out of proportion to his realm. I don't know why."
"Isn't it simple? It's either some kind of secret technique, or he borrowed other forces to temporarily increase his combat power. I'm sure it's quite harmful to himself."
"Then how should we deal with this guy in front of us?"
"He's not strong, but that sword …" Someone had already noticed the looming Heaven Seizing Sword in the middle of the light screen.
"It seems to have the same fluctuations as the sword used by the person who stole the Black Dragon Pearl!" Someone exclaimed. "Could it really be him?"
"Hmph! How dare you touch the Ancestral Dragon's things! Let's take him down first! "A burly man stepped forward with his sword and slashed at the light screen with spiritual energy.
Then, everyone was dumbfounded. The burly man with the sword was sent flying several meters away with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth! After all, he was at the advanced stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm. It was quite unexpected that he would be thrown into such a mess.
"He must be the one who stole the Black Dragon Pearl!" The burly man's face was livid.
After that attack, he knew that he wouldn't be able to break the light screen, so he didn't attack again. That would only humiliate himself.
A Spiritual Grandmaster walked out slowly. He raised his hand and unleashed a blast of spiritual energy at the screen of light. Ripples appeared on the screen, but it didn't do anything to the screen.
"It won't work." The Spiritual Grandmaster shook his head. He wasn't confident that he could break the light screen.
"Then let's wait here. He'll come out in less than four hours. Then, with his cultivation, we can do whatever we want to him." One of them looked at Su Yun.
"Alright. Let's surround the area, just in case."
"Yes. Let's see where he can run to!"
Su Yun did not pay attention to the people outside because the spirit energy in his body was already on the verge of breaking through the bottleneck.
The Fiend Dragon Spirit Severing Curse didn't take effect. It only twitched for a moment.
On Pan Long Mountain, the coiling dragon that had been lying dormant seemed to sense something. It suddenly raised its head, but after a moment, it curled up weakly at the top of the mountain.
Two hours later, Su Yun's spiritual energy had increased by a small level before he knew it. However, he wasn't in a hurry to leave.
Although he didn't feel weak after the breakthrough, Su Yun still had to be cautious when faced with the situation outside. Therefore, he kept consolidating his cultivation and adjusting himself to his best state.
"What are the chances of me winning if I force my way in?" asked Su Yun.
"With your own strength, 30%," said Yixie.
"And if you attack?" asked Su Yun.
"70%," said Yixie.
"Even you only have 70%?" Su Yun was surprised.
"Do you think that light screen can be created so easily?" said Yixie.
Yixie had consumed a lot of energy yesterday. As a sword spirit, his recovery ability naturally couldn't be compared to Su Yun's. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to rely on Su Yun to recover slowly.
Su Yun was silent.
After a long time …
"Remove the light screen." Su Yun was like a gambler. There was an indecipherable look in his eyes.
"Have you thought it through?" Yixie asked in a strange voice.
"I just hope that you won't be a coward when necessary," said Su Yun.
Yixie didn't say anything, but the light screen was slowly fading.
If this continued, there would only be more and more people and they would become stronger. That would be even more disadvantageous for him.
Therefore, Su Yun stood up.
"He's out." Someone laughed sarcastically.
In their eyes, Su Yun was like a turtle in a jar. They could do anything they wanted to him.
"Did you take the Black Dragon Pearl?" someone asked.
He knew he was asking a stupid question, but he didn't know why he asked. Perhaps it was because he saw Su Yun use his sword to defeat the Spirit King Realm expert in one move to snatch the Black Dragon Pearl. At this moment, his heart was somewhat nervous, so he subconsciously spoke.
"That's right." The Heaven-Seizing Sword had already exposed Su Yun's identity, so it admitted it without hesitation.
"Are you going to put up a fight or surrender?" asked a Spiritual Grandmaster with a half-smile. He thought that Su Yun had only been able to snatch the Black Dragon Pearl from the jaws of a tiger because of his good luck. He was only a mid Spiritual Leader Stage cultivator and couldn't withstand a single blow.
"Are you going to fight me one by one? Or all at once? "asked Su Yun.
Although there were over 60 people here, the most powerful one was only a mid Spiritual Grandmaster. Su Yun still had a chance.
"Hmph, you're so arrogant despite your low cultivation level." The most powerful mid-stage Spiritual Grandmaster sneered and turned to a cultivator at the peak of the Spiritual Leader Realm next to him. "Go ahead. I'll make sure you're rewarded for it."
The reason why they didn't rush forward was not because they weren't tempted by the reward that the Great Leader had mentioned. Instead, it was because they knew that this kind of reward definitely had no fate with them. If someone was to obtain it, it would definitely belong to the Junior Leader.
However, the reward the junior chief was talking about would be theirs.
Therefore, the Spirit Cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Leader Realm smiled and suddenly rushed out.
Su Yun pretended to be flustered and looked like he was having a hard time dealing with the senior chief.
The mid Spiritual Grandmaster chief frowned. He couldn't figure out what Su Yun was up to.
He had sent the peak Spiritual Leader Stage cultivator to test Su Yun, not because he underestimated him. Instead, he thought so highly of Su Yun that even though he had the upper hand, he didn't dare act rashly!
He would stall until Su Yun made a mistake or more people from Quicksand arrived. He wouldn't attack with all his might until he was 100% sure that he could win!
Su Yun had taken the Black Dragon Ball right under the noses of the chiefs and Coiling Dragon. Anyone who underestimated him would pay the price!
Therefore, he couldn't understand Su Yun's current behavior. He might look like a mid Spiritual Leader Stage cultivator, but he shouldn't be this weak!
Su Yun and the man exchanged blows again. The Heaven-Seizing Sword looked like an ordinary fourth-grade spiritual weapon and didn't show off its power.
That man thought he had the upper hand. He chuckled and suddenly rushed out at an extremely fast speed. A steel saber flew out. His attack was extremely fast.
After the saber was deflected, Su Yun's legs connected and his spiritual energy vibrated.
Su Yun clearly had the upper hand, but he couldn't win. The peak Spiritual Leader Stage cultivator was running out of patience.
They exchanged blows again and both of them stumbled back a few steps. Su Yun stumbled and managed to steady himself.
The man's figure floated back. Suddenly, he touched the ground and leaped up a few meters. A steel blade surged with spirit energy. The blade light flickered. He raised it up high and with a cruel smile, he fiercely slashed towards Su Yun.
Panic flickered in Su Yun's eyes. He backed away quickly, but he was trapped and there was no way he could get out of the man's attack range.
Su Yun backed away, and so did the Quicksand men behind him.
The saber landed with a boom and the Heaven-Seizing Sword was already in front of Su Yun. Spiritual energy vibrated at the moment of contact, and Su Yun was sent flying like a kite with its string cut.
Just then, the middle-stage Spiritual Grandmaster captain who had been watching the battle jumped out.
"Stop him!" The Spiritual Grandmaster was fast, but it was too late. The Quicksand men behind Su Yun were already moving out of the way!
