When Tian Suyin noticed that her daughter was about to rush back into the Sword Graveyard, she quickly restricted her movements with a bear hug.
"Stop! Do you want to die?!"
"I don't care!"
"He's not going to die— I think!" Tian Suyin suddenly exclaimed, which calmed Tian Yanyu down a little.
"Look at it— feel the atmosphere. Despite the similarities, this is nothing like when that couple got punished, and as crazy as this may sound, I can feel a sense of attachment from the swords. "
As the spectators awaited yet another grand display of execution, the blades buried within the Sword Graveyard awakened from their slumber once again, ascending to the heavens in a breathtaking dance.
Once every sword ascended to the sky, they began to move in perfect harmony, their razor-sharp tips converging towards Yuan, who stood firmly and unhinged despite the terrifying scene happening above him.
However, the ladies inside Yuan did not share the same feeling. In fact, they were terrified for him.
"Young Master… I think this is a little too dangerous even for you…"
"Brother Yuan…"
"..."
"Don't worry, they won't hurt me. I can feel it." Yuan said to them with an air of tranquility enveloping his words, trying to calm their souls with his overwhelming confidence.
"Come!" He suddenly roared.
The swords suspended in the sky immediately stirred with a mighty force and hurled towards Yuan like a celestial barrage of fiery meteors.
However, when the first sword reached Yuan and pierced his body, it did not go through his body and come out the other end like it was supposed to and actually disappeared into his body.
The second sword and the swords after that also did the same thing, and it was as though they were being absorbed by him. This continued until there was not a single sword left.
Everything happened so fast that the onlookers were still trying to figure out what they had just witnessed even many minutes later.
After the swords entered his body, Yuan quickly realized that he could retrieve their memories at will.
'Does this mean I no longer need to stay here to recall their memories one by one? This is great!' Yuan was filled with excitement knowing that he could take his time absorbing these memories.
Sometime later, the cultivators outside the Sword Graveyard made their way back into the area, and they all had deep frowns on their faces.
"Hey! What did you do with the swords?! Why are they not returning?!" One of them pointed at Yuan and questioned him about the swords, as they have yet to return.
Without any swords, the Sword Graveyard could no longer bear such a name. In fact, it wouldn't even qualify as an ordinary graveyard, as there were only holes in the ground which had been left behind by the swords.
"No idea." Yuan answered with a calm shrug.
"A-Are you fucking with me?! Bring back the swords!"
"Yeah! Or we will tear your body open and take them back by force!"
