244: Make a deal

Looking at Su Yun, who was across from him, radiating Buddhist light and whose aura was soaring, the scene suddenly quieted down.

Across from him, Green Scale was filled with worry.

Through Su Yun and Mu Wuchen's conversation just now, she already knew that Su Yun was the mastermind behind the four black giant pillars and the strange Soul Chasing Pestle.

She instinctively moved a bit further away from Su Yun and closer to Mu Wuchen.

After all, Su Yun had tried to harm her earlier, while Mu Wuchen had saved her life at a critical moment. In her heart, she unconsciously felt that Mu Wuchen was more reliable.

Moreover, the words Su Yun had just spoken deeply pained her heart.

He had just said that he wanted to break apart Hongyu and Azure Cloud's bodies and erase their memories…

The speaker might not have intended it, but the listener took it to heart.

Green Scale didn't know the reason behind it, but she knew that those two women, like her, were Sword Maidens transformed from treasured swords…

If that black-clothed man would treat the other two sword spirits this way, perhaps her own future would be the same…

Such an outcome, for her who had broken free from her shackles and loved freedom, was undoubtedly unacceptable…

On the other side, after hearing Su Yun's words, Hongyu and Azure Cloud's expressions showed even stronger hostility.

They had their own thoughts and were independent individuals. Who they chose to serve as their master was their freedom and their own choice; it was not for an outsider to dictate!

Facing the magnificent Su Yun, Mu Wuchen didn't seem to care much.

He didn't let the little fox or Luo Shuihan make a move. He also wanted to test how far his current strength could go when facing a Son of Destiny!

He stepped forward in mid-air, and his aura suddenly changed. His white clothes turned black, the Xuanyuan Sword appeared in his hand, and his pair of purple-black eyes looked indifferently at Su Yun across from him!

Seeing Mu Wuchen's sudden change in aura, Su Yun was slightly startled.

With such an aura, he wasn't completely confident of victory!

And when he saw the Xuanyuan Sword in Mu Wuchen's hand, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He was extremely sensitive to divine weapons and sharp tools in the world, and the Northern Land Vajra Pestle in his hand was a Buddhist treasure he had spent a lot of effort to obtain. Its rating in the Hundred Refinements Divine Weapon Compendium could even reach A-grade mid-tier, even stronger than five individual Spirit-Transforming Treasure Swords!

But even such a treasure didn't make him feel a sense of dread.

Yet, the sword in Mu Wuchen's hand actually made him feel dread and fear.

How was this possible?

Beside Mu Wuchen, Hongyu had already seen the Xuanyuan Sword. When she first saw it, it made her feel ashamed of herself, but after Mu Wuchen's comfort, she now only felt fortunate and proud of her choice…

As for Azure Cloud, she hadn't seen the Xuanyuan Sword before. This was her first time seeing the Xuanyuan, which far surpassed her own power, but she didn't feel as troubled as Hongyu did initially. Instead, she felt even more admiration for Mu Wuchen in her heart.

Although she was far inferior to the Xuanyuan Sword in Mu Wuchen's hand at this moment, she could feel that when Mu Wuchen used her, he didn't show any disdain or dissatisfaction…

Having a powerful master was a sword's good fortune…

Not far from Hongyu and Azure Cloud, Green Scale was clearly stunned by the appearance of the Xuanyuan Sword.

She had originally thought that Mu Wuchen wanted her to acknowledge him as her master because he valued her as a transformation of the Qinglin Sword, high in grade and strong in power…

But the Xuanyuan Sword in Mu Wuchen's hand was clearly far superior to her in both grade and power.

So what did Mu Wuchen want her for?

Was it to satisfy his collecting desire, to open a compendium entry…

Or…

Did he desire her body?

She turned her head to look at her snake tail, adorned with green scales, and swayed it casually in the water, seemingly deep in thought…

But she was a snake body now…

Did he know that she could also transform into a human and grow legs?

…

Unlike the various thoughts of the Sword Maidens, Su Yun and the Hundred Refinements Divine Weapon Compendium on the opposite side had completely changed their attitude towards Mu Wuchen.

If it were other Sons of Destiny, they might not be able to discern the power of the treasured sword in Mu Wuchen's hand, but they were different…

They were professionals when it came to studying weapons!

"Hundred Refinements Divine Weapon Compendium, what grade is that treasured sword in his hand?"

Su Yun, holding the Northern Land Vajra Pestle, suddenly asked.

Beside him, the ethereal figure formed by the Hundred Refinements Divine Weapon Compendium remained silent for a while before answering.

"I'm not sure of its exact grade, but that sword must be an existence above A-grade top-tier!"

Hearing the Hundred Refinements Divine Weapon Compendium's reply, Su Yun was immediately startled.

In the Hundred Refinements Divine Weapon Compendium's rating system, there were seven grades: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and each grade was divided into top, middle, and bottom tiers. A-grade top-tier was already the highest grade, and they had seen many divine weapons and sharp tools before, but they hadn't even found one A-grade top-tier!

Therefore, he had come here so eagerly this time, wanting to obtain the five Spirit-Transforming Treasure Swords!

The reason was that the Hundred Refinements Divine Weapon Compendium had once said that when the five swords were combined, they could be rated as A-grade top-tier!

Possessing these five swords would undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength!

But at this moment, they had actually encountered a treasured sword that surpassed the Hundred Refinements Divine Weapon Compendium's rating!

How was this possible?

However, his shock only lasted for a moment before being replaced by a burning desire.

They could discern the grade of that treasured sword, but the other party might not be able to!

If he could seize the treasured sword from the other party's hand, what terrifying level would his strength reach!

Thinking of this, Su Yun suddenly suppressed the urge to make a move.

Because he knew that if they fought head-on, he might not win.

Across from him, Mu Wuchen was slightly startled.

Just a few minutes ago, Su Yun, the Son of Destiny opposite him, was filled with killing intent towards him, almost ready to draw swords.

But just now, for some unknown reason, the Son of Destiny opposite him suddenly withdrew his killing intent.

What was going on?

"Does Your Excellency want that sword?"

While Mu Wuchen was puzzled, Su Yun suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Green Scale.

Hearing this, Mu Wuchen frowned slightly. What exactly was this guy up to…

However, Su Yun, in his eyes, was now like a turtle in a jar, so there was no need to rush.

Hearing his question, Mu Wuchen slowly nodded.

"This Spirit-Transforming Sword Maiden is very cunning and not so easy to subdue. Earlier, I already killed several of her false bodies, and perhaps this current one is also fake!"

"But I have a way to make her nowhere to hide. With my help, I can guarantee you'll capture her!"

"It's better to have more friends than enemies. How about we make a deal?"

Hearing Su Yun's reply, Mu Wuchen seemed to understand what Su Yun wanted to do…

Seeing that Mu Wuchen didn't directly refuse, Su Yun's expression immediately brightened.

If he could exchange for the treasured sword in Mu Wuchen's hand without bloodshed, that would be the best outcome!

As long as he could obtain the golden treasured sword in Mu Wuchen's hand, temporarily giving up on the snake woman and the other two treasured swords was not out of the question!
