Having been taken advantage of in public, how could Gong Qi possibly let it go? With a wave of her hand, she swiftly pursued, her figure bursting forward.
Su Yi's expression slightly changed. Gong Qi is definitely not someone to be trifled with. Just managing to gain a slight advantage earlier was due to her carelessness. She wouldn't be careless again. Descending to low altitude, he touched the ground once more, only to swiftly retreat once again.
"What audacity! Cease this immediately!"
A voice of rebuke resounded, and the one who spoke was an elderly man in his seventies. His temples were gray, his hair faintly white, yet his face was flushed with vigor, and his voice resonated like a resounding bell.
As the words of the old man fell, the furious Gong Qi's figure instantly paused. She stamped her foot in frustration and said to the old man, "Master, that arrogant and despicable fellow, he..."
"How am I the one who is arrogant and despicable? It was you who attacked first. This is no longer the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. Yet, you still dare to ask me for Dark Spirit Fruits. Even if I had them, why should I give them to you, let alone the fact that I don't have any!"
Su Yi also halted his figure and gazed at Gong Qi. With an unchanged expression, he finally spoke, someone had come forward to intervene.
"The Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords has already been left. What are you all doing?"
"Having left the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, do you still intend to act recklessly? Especially when the Dharma Protectors are present, disregarding the rules of the sect!"
Upon hearing Su Yi's words, the nearby elders and Dharma Protectors who had intended to seize the opportunity to investigate Su Yi's background found it difficult to pretend they hadn't seen anything. Many of the elders scolded and spoke out.
The direct disciples who had originally been creating a commotion around them fell silent.
However, a series of gazes were fixed upon Su Yi, with many eyes seemingly eager to flay him alive.
If it weren't for Su Yi, how could they have suffered so miserably within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords?
"You insignificant wannabe, you scoundrel..."
Gong Qi refused to give up and stomped her feet in anger. Her beautiful eyes were sharp and seemed to want to tear Su Yi apart with a thousand cuts.
"Do not make a scene..."
The aged elder gave Gong Qi a meaningful glance.
Gong Qi seethed with resentment as that insignificant Su Yi dared to embrace her, even putting his hands on her waist. Her anger was difficult to extinguish, but for now, she had no choice but to suppress it by clenching her teeth and gritting her jaw. Her piercing gaze, akin to a sword, remained fixated on Su Yi from a distance.
Amidst the crowd, Mu Yao fixed her gaze upon Su Yi, devoid of any unnecessary movements. She strode forward without a hint of awe towards the group of elders, passing by them with unwavering determination. Finally, she arrived before the steward responsible for inspecting the Sword-patterned Stones, and without hesitation, she reached into her hand and handed a piece of the stone directly to the steward. Casting a fierce glare at Su Yi, she turned and departed with purpose.
As Mu Yao departed with determination, the complex gazes on the faces of the elders lingered, observing her departure.
Each elder seemed to share a certain unspoken understanding, as if they hadn't even noticed Mu Yao's presence.
Su Yi observed all of this, feeling astonished and sensing something unusual.
"Disciples who have come out from the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, those with Sword-patterned Stones, step forward and have your Sword-patterned Stones counted!"
"Disciples without Sword-patterned Stones, please stand aside. Someone will come forward to register you!"
A steward spoke up, his voice intertwined with vitality, resonating across the square, clear enough for everyone to hear.
Upon hearing this, many direct disciples cast disdainful glances at Su Yi, reluctantly stepping forward to have the Sword-patterned Stones counted.
"Master, please make a decision for your disciple. This Su Yi and Situ Muyang are shameless and despicable. They used sneak attacks, and stole our space bags and Sword-patterned Stones!"
"Master, please make a decision for your disciple. My Sword-patterned Stones were also stolen by Su Yi and Situ Muyang through sneak attacks!"
"Elder, please arbitrate for us!"
"Elder, this Su Yi has gone too far. As soon as we entered the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, he plundered our space bags and even controlled a horde of demon beasts to attack us. I implore the Elder to intervene!"
"This Su Yi has been acting recklessly in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, snatching away the space bags of all of us. Elder, please intervene on our behalf!"
Mentioning the Sword-patterned Stones, at that moment, those direct disciples who had been slapped by Su Yi with black brick dust could no longer contain themselves.
They are all disciples of the esteemed elders, and they immediately started crying and seeking solace from their respective masters.
Subsequently, all the inner disciples also joined in, and they suffered even more. They had only been in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords for a few days, and yet Su Yi had completely plundered them all.
Inside the spatial teleportation gate, people continued to emerge one after another. Listening to the voices on the plaza, one would think that they were accusing Su Yi and Situ Muyang. Both the inner and outer disciples immediately joined in.
In an instant, a scene that left people astonished unfolded on the plaza.
A group of direct disciples and inner disciples, all wearing mournful expressions, were accusing Su Yi and Situ Muyang of their misdeeds.
One by one, as if they were children who had been bullied, their voices became increasingly grievous, like the plea of a child who has finally found their parents, pouring out their deep sense of injustice.
The entire plaza had also become a dedicated venue where Su Yi and Situ Muyang were accused, with various crimes being leveled against them.
On the faces of the elders and Dharma Protectors filling the entire hall, a look of shock and freeze had long settled upon them as they gazed upon Su Yi and Situ Muyang.
The faces, one after another, were not just shocked, but even more astonished!
Having plundered the space bags of tens of thousands of inner disciples, ambushing and striking them with bricks, many direct disciples fell victim to this treachery, including Zhang Diyun ranked ninth in the Sword Tower.
Amongst the accusations from the disciples in the entire hall, the elders and Dharma Protectors present could also discern that it appeared Su Yi and Situ Muyang were indeed the exclusive recipients of all the Dark Spirit Fruits.
In the end, tens of thousands of inner disciples and direct disciples from the Divine Sword School surrounded and pursued Su Yi, but he managed to escape.
All of this left the elders and Dharma Protectors present in a state of astonishment, unable to fathom how Su Yi managed to accomplish such feats.
Yu Changqing, Mei Huaye, Elder Lv Baimai, and others stared at Su Yi, their astonished gazes involuntarily reassessing him.
Of course, Situ Muyang at this moment also attracted no less attention than Su Yi.
Many elders' gazes fell upon Situ Muyang, causing them to twitch inwardly, appearing somewhat helpless and clueless about how this young lad ended up associating with Su Yi.
"Su Yi, is what they said the truth?"
Elder Yu Changqing also began to furrow his brows and addressed Su Yi, inquiring to ascertain the truth.
Su Yi shook his head, feigning ignorance.
"Su Yi, do you still dare to deny it? You are despicable and low!"
As Su Yi continued to deny, the entire scene instantly filled with even greater anger, causing a collective sense of indignation.
Observing the collective sense of indignation in the square, Su Yi, however, didn't pay much attention. Having already left the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, there was no need to worry.
Situ Muyang also didn't pay any mind to it, silently standing alongside Su Yi.
On the other hand, the group of elders and Dharma Protectors had a somewhat evasive gaze. Judging from the situation, it seemed like they were aware of the multitude of accusations, making the truth almost undeniable.
"This matter is of utmost importance. Let us defer to the sect leader for a final decision. Bring Su Yi and Situ Muyang to Sky Sword Peak!"
Among this group of elders, the esteemed elder with white temples, exhibiting the appearance of wisdom and old age, spoke with great authority.
Elder Zhong nodded immediately, observing the scene. If Su Yi and Situ Muyang were here today, this collection of Sword-patterned Stones would be impossible to count accurately.
