73: Value, Xiao Muying's plea, master

"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge? Get on the Arena quickly!" an Elder shouted to the surroundings.

Some Servants at the Great Perfection of qi-blood suddenly went silent. They had originally thought the position of a Three-Victory Blood Son would be easy to take, but looking at it now, it wasn't that simple.

Anyone afraid of death didn't dare go up. After all, Su Chen's punch just now possessed the power of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Brother Tang, your Servants don't dare go up," Zhou Ling mocked while standing in mid-air.

"Hmph, if you're so capable, let your own Servants go to their deaths," Tang Yu retorted with disdain.

Seeing Tang Yu turn the tables on him, Zhou Ling quickly shifted his gaze to Qiu Yueshuang and Su Linglong.

"Why are you looking at us? We aren't going to fight for that first place," Su Linglong said.

Qiu Yueshuang didn't respond and flew toward Blood Spirit Peak on her blood sword.

Basically, no one would challenge those with five victories or more. After all, everyone was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and this small Arena in the square couldn't withstand their fight. Therefore, any Blood Son with five or more victories would basically compete in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm.

Since no one challenged Jiang Yan, he was quickly confirmed as a Three-Victory Blood Son.

Moreover, Jiang Yan was also the first New Blood Son who dared to challenge the position of a Three-Victory Blood Son in his first year.

"Oh, Old Fang, I could tell your Disciple was extraordinary at a glance. Are you interested in having a chat?" Yang Huanzi quickly approached Fang Yu and asked.

"Speak. If your price satisfies me, I'll consider it," Fang Yu said calmly.

Fang Yu didn't actually plan to sell Su Chen; he just wanted to know exactly how much profit Su Chen could bring.

"A Third-grade Golden Core and five thousand Spirit Stones," Yang Huanzi said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Old Man nearby almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

One must know that he had sold Su Chen to Fang Yu for only two hundred Spirit Stones!

"Hey, Old Man, Old Man... what's wrong with you?" Xie Jingang quickly stepped forward to support him.

Fang Yu smiled and glanced at Yang Huanzi, his tone playful: "I say, Junior Brother Yang, do I look like a fool to you?"

Hearing this, Yang Huanzi's expression froze, and he immediately understood Fang Yu's meaning.

"Fine, this Disciple of yours is indeed quite good. Let's see what you'll do during next year's challenge."

Seeing Yang Huanzi leave in a huff, Fang Yu was very happy because he finally knew how immense Su Chen's value was.

To think someone would dare offer a Third-grade Golden Core right away meant Su Chen's value was far higher than that. If luck was on his side, it was very likely he could be rewarded with a Fifth-grade Golden Core!

As Jiang Yan walked toward the Arena, the Three-Victory Servants and Jiang Yan's original Servants immediately knelt to welcome their master.

"All of you, rise. After I finish participating in the Blood Spirit Secret Realm tomorrow, everyone will be rewarded with five Spirit Stones. Female Disciples get double!"

Hearing Su Chen's reward, the Three-Victory Servants, who were still worried, immediately cheered loudly. One must know that they were originally exploited Servants, but now Blood Disciple Su not only didn't exploit them but even offered rewards. How could they not cheer?

"Alright, you all continue watching. I have some matters to handle."

Jiang Yan left those words and walked toward Blood Heavy Peak.

The Servants present knew very well that the Blood Son was going to deal with the traitors.

Just as Jiang Yan reached the entrance of Blood Heavy Peak, Xiao Muying suddenly blocked him.

"What do you mean by this?" Jiang Yan frowned as he looked at Xiao Muying.

"I know the mistake Yin Duo made. I want to beg you to spare her. After all, she is our Junior Sister," Xiao Muying knelt and pleaded.

"Even Su Qingyan doesn't dare ask me for someone. Do you think you're worthy?" Jiang Yan asked coldly.

"I can exchange my body for her," Xiao Muying said aggrievedly.

Oh?

Jiang Yan didn't expect that this nominal Second Senior Sister would be willing to sacrifice herself to save Yin Duo.

"Is Yin Duo your relative?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.

"Yes," Xiao Muying nodded in admission. "She is my only younger cousin."

Hearing Xiao Muying's words, Jiang Yan finally understood a few things. No wonder Yin Duo dared to be so arrogant; it turned out she had Xiao Muying backing her up.

But thinking about it, with Xiao Muying's strength, she could easily kill a One-Victory Blood Son, yet something felt off.

"Does Yin Duo know you are her cousin?" Jiang Yan asked.

"She doesn't know. When I left home, she was only three years old," Xiao Muying said.

"Whoa, Second Senior Sister, you're something else. Playing the secret guardian, are you?"

Jiang Yan was quite surprised. He thought Yin Duo knew, but it turned out that little girl was just a complete idiot, acting on good intentions but doing the wrong things, daring to rush into anything.

Although Xiao Muying didn't understand why Su Chen's words were so strange, she understood the meaning behind them.

"I beg you to spare her. I'm willing to give whatever you want. Don't worry, I am still clean." Xiao Muying said.

Jiang Yan glanced at Xiao Muying. She was indeed beautiful, with a heroic and free-spirited air just like her name, giving off the vibe of a female general.

"A pity, I don't like your age. You should save yourself for someone else." After saying that, Jiang Yan stepped forward and walked up the peak.

"Su Chen, I..."

Jiang Yan stopped in his tracks and sternly interrupted, "Stop right there. If you keep blabbering, I really will have to kill her."

Hearing that Su Chen had no intention of killing Yin Duo, Xiao Muying immediately kowtowed three times to Su Chen's back.

Originally, Jiang Yan did want to kill Yin Duo, but Xiao Muying's words made him dismiss his killing intent. He knew very well that Yin Duo's value was likely far greater than the benefit of killing her. After all, Yin Duo's cultivation was too low, and the experience and items he could plunder from her weren't worth it. He might as well do Xiao Muying a favor; he might be able to use it later.

One must know that Xiao Muying was someone close to Su Qingyan. Once something went wrong on that side, he could even have Xiao Muying assassinate Lü Yue.

As Jiang Yan passed the intersection of the North Courtyard and South Courtyard, he glanced at the Disciples still lining up, and the corners of his eyes couldn't stop twitching.

'Good grief, why do they have to line up twice?'

He could only give a thumbs-up to those Disciples who were lining up twice.

He glanced at the South Courtyard again. He felt that he should switch with Guo Jingan later; that small courtyard was too unlucky.

When Jiang Yan walked into the Dojo, Yun Tianze and Liao Yuan stood up and cupped their fists: "Congratulations, Junior Brother, on becoming a Three-Victory Blood Son."

"It seems Eldest Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother are smart people." Jiang Yan cupped his fists in return.

"We hope for your guidance in the future, Junior Brother. We will certainly serve you." Yun Tianze said.

Jiang Yan nodded with satisfaction and looked at Liao Yuan: "Who is Third Senior Brother's master?"

"Hu Jian, a Six-Victory Blood Son from the Yin Ghost Cave," Liao Yuan said respectfully.

"Oh, so it's the Hu Jian who has the same rank as Su Linglong." Jiang Yan nodded, lost in thought. "I believe that after the Blood Spirit Secret Realm ends tomorrow, Third Senior Brother will be a free man."

Hearing Jiang Yan say this, Liao Yuan bowed deeply: "Thank you for your great kindness, Blood Disciple Su."

Jiang Yan smiled and waved his hand, then walked toward the terrified Yin Duo.

"Su Chen, I was wrong. Please don't kill me, okay?" Yin Duo pleaded, her face covered in tears.

She was truly scared now. She had even been woken up several times by the memory of Su Chen's eyes in her dreams.

Seeing Yin Duo's pleading look, Jiang Yan suddenly felt like teasing her.

"Oh, you little brat. I'm a Blood Son, your master. Don't you know that?"

Hearing Su Chen's words, Yin Duo quickly knelt: "Slave Girl greets the Master. I beg the Master to forgive me. I am willing to do whatever you want."

Jiang Yan glanced at her flat chest with a look of disdain: "With your figure, I'm afraid it wouldn't be me enjoying you, but you enjoying me."

Hearing Su Chen say this, a flush of red immediately appeared on Yin Duo's face, but her fear kept her calm.

"Alright, I don't want to tease you anymore. As for your life, I'll..." Jiang Yan intentionally drew out the last word, making Yin Duo's delicate body tremble incessantly, "...spare it."

Huh?

Yin Duo was stunned, but Yun Tianze and Liao Yuan smiled.

When Su Chen spoke those crude words, the two of them knew Yin Duo wouldn't die. If one wanted to kill someone, there was no need to tease them; a single sword strike or torture would suffice.

"Are you telling the truth?" Yin Duo looked up and asked softly.

"You're still too green; you're not worth my effort. But let this be a lesson to you. I hope you won't be so foolish in the future. Be careful not to be sold by others while you're still helping them count the money." Jiang Yan lightly tapped Yin Duo's head.

"Thank you for sparing my life, Master. From now on, Xiao Duo promises to be obedient. I will do whatever you say." Yin Duo said gratefully.

Jiang Yan didn't dwell on the matter. After telling Yin Duo to follow him, he bid farewell to Yun Tianze and Liao Yuan.

After all, he still had to deal with Qin Tai and Fang Wanrou. If he let those two off easily, how could he demonstrate his attitude toward traitors?
