Chapter 48: Inside Martial Bone Mountain
Su Yun had forgotten about the outer sect steward.He only knew that the old man was sly and calculating. The outer sect’s resources and rewards that were issued were all deducted by him. He was stingy and sarcastic. Many people behind his back just called him the old fox.
The steward squint to see Su Yun and chuckled. He sarcastically barked, “You actually decided to come, young master Su Yun!”
Su Yun walked over and glanced at the steward. Then he glanced at the enchantment formation behind him, and asked, “I do not know why the steward’s guards have brought me here for. What do you want me to do?”
“What can you do? Senior Su Shi Long order has already been given. You will participate in the trials at Martial Bone Mountain!”
“To participate in the trials?” Su Yun was surprised for a moment.
“The trials are an important task given by the Main House. It is open for all the disciples of the inner and outer sect. There are even numerous benefits, how about it? Do you want to join us?” The steward said as he glared at Su Yun.
“Of course not!” Su Yun quickly responded.
“Impudent!”
The old Fox’s face change and loudly shouted, “You are a disciple of the outer sect. You want to reject a task given by the Main House. To tell you the truth, because you did not return in a timely manner, as punishment, you will not receive all the supplies provided by elder Su Shi Long. Instead, you only get five satiety pills and ten anti-poison pills! Su Shi Long issued an order, you have to attend the trial! You obviously cannot just leave!”
“Right now, there is just me!” Su Yun eyes blazed in anger, “I am only at spirit novice realm and am going to go alone to Martial Bone Mountain. This is simply seeking death. Furthermore, there is only this much supplies, aren’t you guys just sending me to my death? To the point of no return?!”
“So that is to say that you do not want to go?” The old fox steward narrowed his eyes as he said this suspiciously.
As Su Yun saw this, his heart darkened.
He reluctantly asked, “If I do not go….what will you do?”
“What?” The old fox shouted, “Su Shi Long already said explicitly that you must participate during this time in the trial. You must enter Martial Bone Mountain. If you do not enter, you will be defying Su Shi Long’s command. To go against Su Family’s elder, you will be expelled from the entire Su Family! You’re cultivation will also be destroyed!”
After his harsh words, the other guards behind him moved away from Martial Bone Mountain and began to surround Su Yun.
As main guards of Su Family, their strength was already in spirit intermediate realm. They were powerful and unfathomable for the current Su Yun. It was impossible for him to beat them right now.
Su Yun took a deep breath and pondered for a moment. Then he raised his head and said, “So, well, I will go to Martial Bone Mountain, but before then, could I go to some markets to purchase some supplies!?”
“No, you can only have the two pills with you! You are not allowed to bring any other items!” The old fox chuckled.
Su Yun’s heart almost leapt out. However, to maintain a calm appearance, he took the two bottles of pills and silently went inside Martial Bone Mountain.
“Open the enchantment!” The old fox shouted.
Ka ! ! ! !
An odd sound echoed through the mountains.
As everyone watched the massive blue colored barrier split to form a two-meter gap.
Su Yun was still somewhat hesitant to enter, but in the end, he just walked through the barrier.
“Brat, even in your former position, the Su elder did not like you. Now that you are in the outer sect, but still dare to be arrogant enough to kill an elder’s son, Dong Fang! Well, looks like Su Shi Long wants you dead!”
As the old fox gazed at Su Yun’s leaving figure, his mouth flashed in a creepy smile.
It left in a flash.
Su Yun did not see the expression.
The old fox turned around and quickly left the area.
Whoosh!
Just then, a piercing sound burst forth and was aiming straight for the guards of Martial Bone Mountain.
“Be careful your excellency!” The surrounding guards shouted.
The old fox turned around and looked at the incoming blade. He suddenly became terrified.
It seemed that the slender flying blade was directly flying here.
On the blade’s slender body, there was a glimmering, yet chilly dragon engraved on it. As he looked at the marking, he felt horror. His scalp was tingling and he was very uncomfortable.
The old fox’s legs became soft. He was scared and quickly ran back. He was just a steward for the outer sect. He was old and his cultivation was not much. he has experienced a lot, but he had never saw such fierce flying blades.
What’s more, the blade was flying?
Was it the actions of the Immortal Sword Sect? However, the Immortal Sword Sect would never aim for a simple target like him, especially killing a cultivator of a major sect.
As the flying blade was about to pierce through the old fox’s heart, the sinister atmosphere began to spread out.
“Stop attacking the steward!”
A guard with quick reflexes, who had not been stunned by the strange weapon immediately jumped from the side and slashed away the flying blade.
The flying blade that was slashed away was still constantly rotating. However, it did not fall to the ground, instead, it maneuvered back aiming for the old fox again.
This strange phenomenon confounded everyone present.
The old fox dodged a little too late, so one of his arms was cut off. Blood was spurting out from the wound. He was rolling on the ground screaming again and again in pain. His face was completely pale.
The other guards also began to recover. Seeing this situation, how could they dare to stay in a daze? They quickly rushed to confront the strange flying blade.
Except….as the flying blade made several maneuvers in the air, it abruptly stopped. Then it suddenly flew back into Martial Bone Mountain’s direction. The enchantment formation was not closed off yet, so the blade just disappeared from view.
Ba da!
A hand stretched toward the empty air and seized the blood stained engraved dragon blade flying through the air. Su Yun’s eyes gazed at the old fox writhing in pain, who eventually fainted. Afterwards, he began to walk towards the depths of Martial Bone Mountain.
Martial Bone Mountain.
The largest forbidden area of the Su Family.
