The world situation is as turbulent as a vast ocean. It is not easy for survivors from both sides to escape from it, let alone to snatch the Peace Stone between good and evil. The difficulty is even greater!
Su Lin followed Xiao Linlin's advice and quietly stayed in the room without making a sound.
Nothing happened that night, except that there were many more patrolling swordsmen.
By dawn, Su Lin hadn't encountered anything unusual, but the tranquility of the inner courtyard was enough to show that Dugu Changshan had successfully escaped, and Su Qingyang hadn't returned either.
"Knock knock knock~!"
A knock sounded at the door. Su Lin looked up and heard a clear female voice outside: "Junior brother, are you awake?"
"I'm awake."
Su Lin nodded, signaling Xiao Linlin to open the door.
The door opened, and a pretty young woman dressed in martial arts robes stood outside, smiling as she looked at Su Lin inside.
"Junior brother didn't sleep all night? Was he worried about Master's safety?"
"Um."
Su Lin nodded calmly without comment. The woman smiled and said, "It's alright. Master is best at killing thieves. He is a great nemesis in the eyes of evil people. What happened last night will only take Master a few more days to think about."
"It is we who are burdening Master if we stay here any longer. Master has ordered us to return as soon as possible today."
“Dad told me yesterday that I’m ready.”
Su Lin nodded in agreement, speaking quite naturally. He hadn't slept all night, repeatedly practicing and getting used to the speech and customs of the ancient martial arts world.
At the same time, Xiao Linlin also analyzed for him a lot about the behavior and demeanor that Su Qingyang's son should have, his status in the sect, his interpersonal relationships, attention to detail, etc. Although she dared not say that these were 100% flawless, they would definitely be enough to deal with him for a while.
"Alright, let's set off then."
The woman nodded, signaling Su Lin to go out and follow.
Su Lin had already tidied up the room, bringing the sword manual with him and leaving behind all the valuables and valuables.
The rest was much simpler. Su Lin followed the woman, reunited with the Sword Pavilion members, mounted his horse, and set off on his journey.
There were many people in Jian Ge, so Su Lin didn't talk much during the journey, focusing mainly on observation. He quickly blended into the group without revealing any flaws, and also managed to figure out the identities and purposes of these people.
The group consisted of fifty or sixty people, with a small portion being senior members of the sect and their deacons, and the remainder being disciples of various senior figures in the Sword Pavilion.
It is worth mentioning that among peers in the Sword Pavilion, the distinction between superiors and inferiors is not based on age, but rather on their martial arts attainments.
In the current world competition, there is a unique and very detailed martial arts power system, which is ranked from low to high as follows: Peeping Martial Realm, Entering the Hall Realm, Entering the Subtle Realm, Understanding the Profound Realm, Myriad Phenomena Realm, Unfettered Realm, Carefree Realm, Nirvana Realm, and Limitless Realm.
The character played by Su Lin prefers a long sword. His martial arts skills within the sect are not proficient, barely reaching the "Entering the Hall" realm. The people in front of him are his senior brothers and sisters, most of whom are at the "Entering the Subtle" realm.
"They seem to look down on Big Brother, but they certainly don't know that Big Brother's strength is definitely more than just the Ascendant Realm."
Xiao Linlin was also absorbing information from various game worlds, whispering to Su Lin along the way: "According to their classification, big brother is at least a Tongxuan Realm cultivator, much stronger than them! If we also consider the power of this sword, he might even be able to fight against a Wanxiang Realm cultivator!"
"That's still not as good as Su Qingyang."
Su Lin shook his head silently. Xiao Linlin smiled helplessly when she heard this: "That's true, Sword Gentleman is too strong."
According to intelligence, there are seven Sword Gentlemen in the Sword Pavilion. Su Qingyang, the Little Heavenly Sword Master, ranks second in strength and has martial arts attainments at the Great Perfection of the Nirvana Realm.
Su Qingyang's swordsmanship is like that of a celestial being; few in the world can withstand it.
The evil demon lord Li Hanxiao, who led the attack last night, possessed extraordinary strength at the half-step limitless realm. Although he was stronger than Su Qingyang, he could only fight Su Qingyang to a draw.
This shows that Su Qingyang's strength is among the top in the world!
"The power system of this world is too advanced, stronger than any world we've encountered before."
Su Lin pondered silently, sensing a very obvious crisis: "I have a top-tier red weapon, and I have invested a lot of resource coins to strengthen myself. Considering my characteristics, talents and skills, I am only barely in the [middle class] in this world."
"If it were any other survivor, their situation would probably be even worse, and their strength and status would be even lower. In this match, it's already a miracle that everyone managed to escape successfully. As for stealing the Peace Stone... that's just wishful thinking!"
Thinking of this, Su Lin unconsciously exchanged a glance with Xiao Linlin and saw the helplessness hidden deep in the girl's eyes.
Her thoughts at this moment were similar to Su Lin's.
Last night, she was still ambitious and determined to get the Peace Stone for Su Lin, but after carefully gathering information today, the two of them felt more and more deeply how difficult this escape world was.
The Peace Stone is something that the world's top sects and powerful individuals are vying for, and the strength of those involved is basically at the three major martial arts realms of Wuwang, Xiaoyao, and Nirvana.
Below the Boundless Realm, one has no right to compete for the Peace Stone; at best, one is cannon fodder.
"Let's just focus on escaping. This time, we're not aiming for the highest rewards."
Su Lin had figured it out and felt much more relaxed: "After all, this is the highest quality reward in the entire escape game. Color-level items are definitely not easy to get."
It doesn't matter anymore, he already has a color, which puts him far ahead of others.
If you forcibly try to seize the Peace Stone, you not only risk being killed by experts from the opposing faction, but also the possibility that your own faction will discover your identity and role.
At that point, I'm afraid I'll end up pleasing neither side, with both factions hunting me down.
Su Lin didn't want to fight Su Qingyang. Their encounter in the corridor yesterday had made Su Lin realize how terrifying this man was.
Once that sword is drawn, I'll probably give up my first death record in the escape game.
As Su Lin pondered and observed along the way, a day flew by.
On the morning of the third day after the start of the game, Su Lin and the main group rode all the way to Tianyong Sword Pavilion. There were three green mountains that stretched out in succession, and at the foot of the mountains was a town, which was the core industry of Tianyong Sword Pavilion.
The three green mountains are where the disciples of the Sword Pavilion live and cultivate daily.
Su Lin dismounted and followed the group. Not long after entering the mountain gate from the foot of the mountain, he saw a familiar figure outside a disciple's courtyard on the mountainside.
Su Lin's gaze swept casually across the area, then he was immediately startled.
"Huh? It's him!"
