Eternal Sacred King Chapter 2687: Gathering of Kings

2687 Gathering of Kings

The Sect Master of the Academy had a calm expression and was neither fl.u.s.tered nor surprised by Su Zimo’s questions. He merely looked at him quietly.

“Hahahaha!”

Right then, laughter sounded from outside the hall.

Immediately after, a deep voice sounded. “Young man, you’re wrong about something. The person who intercepted you on the way back was not arranged by the Sect Master of the Academy, but by me!”

Su Zimo turned slightly and looked over.

A man in a brocade robe was entering the hall.

That person’s gaze was burning and he exuded an incomparably scorching aura. The moment he entered the hall, the surrounding temperature rose rapidly!

This person exuded an extremely powerful spirit consciousness pressure!

The spirit consciousness pressure was definitely not something that Perfected Immortal experts could emit.

Furthermore, this was Heaven and Earth Palace of the academy and not a place that Perfected Immortal experts could enter casually.

It was an Immortal King expert!

Su Zimo frowned slightly.

He had never seen this person before and he was not one of the Grand Elders of the academy.

As though he could tell that Su Zimo was puzzled, the man smiled gently. “Let me introduce myself. I’m the master of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom!”

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.

Immortal King Yan Yang!

“Why did you want to kill me?”

Su Zimo asked.

Immortal King Yan Yang smiled gently. “Back then, you obtained an opportunity in my Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom’s Parasol Tree Secret Ground and broke through to the Heaven Essence realm.”

“The moment you entered the Heaven Essence realm, your Green Lotus bloodline was leaked and I sensed it!”

A look of realization flashed through Su Zimo’s eyes.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, as long as he was careful, his blood qi would not leak when breaking through a minor cultivation realm.

However, at the same time as his major cultivation realm broke through, the Green Lotus True Body grew and its grade increased as well.

At that time, he had entered the Heaven Essence realm and the Green Lotus True Body had just grown to Grade 11. That was the reason why his blood qi was exposed.

Su Zimo did not expect that he would be discovered even though he was in the Parasol Tree Secret Ground!

The Sect Master of the Academy looked at Su Zimo and shook his head gently, seemingly in a reproachful manner. “You were too careless.”

“It’s not entirely his fault either.”

Immortal King Yan Yang said, “At that time, his performance on the Earth Ranking was way too eye-catching. Throughout history, no one has been able to achieve his achievements.”

“Even Feng Cantian from hundreds of thousands of years ago was far inferior to him even though he was also Rank 1 on the Earth Ranking.”

“Therefore, after the Earth Ranking ended, I targeted him.”

What happened after that was that Immortal King Yan Yang noticed Su Zimo’s breakthrough in the Parasol Tree Secret Ground.

Immortal King Yan Yang continued, “Actually, I only had a rough guess at that time, but I wasn’t sure.”

“Therefore, I intercepted you. However, my intention was not really to kill you, but to test the Sect Master of the Academy. And of course, as expected, hehe…”

“If you have the Green Lotus bloodline, the Sect Master of the Academy will definitely protect you. In the territory of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, the Sect Master of the Academy knows everything. If I tried to kill you, he would definitely step in to stop me.”

The Sect Master of the Academy smiled without saying anything as a form of silent agreement.

Su Zimo laughed self-deprecatingly. “Therefore, after that exchange, the two of you had already discussed that you would wait for my Green Lotus True Body to grow to the peak of Grade 12?”

“Of course.”

Immortal King Yan Yang smiled. “Since I discovered this secret, I naturally have to take a share of the loot.”

“Hmph!”

Another voice suddenly sounded from the hall.

Immediately after, another white-robed man walked in and said coldly, “I’ve long said that there’s no need for us to waste our breaths on this brat. Once he grows to Grade 12, all we have to do is split him up equally!”

Su Zimo was way too familiar with that voice!

King Yun You!

Su Zimo looked at the person and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The moment King Yun You entered the hall, he glanced at Su Zimo as well with a mocking expression. “Brat, you didn’t expect this, did you?”

“How can a lowlife like you escape from me?!”

The Sect Master of the Academy was not surprised by King Yun You’s arrival either.

The Sect Master of the Academy said indifferently, “Initially, I thought that he would know how to repay grat.i.tude and I didn’t want to fall out with him either. To think that things would turn out this way. Fufu… at the end of the day, he’s still not a person suitable to be nurtured!”

Right then, a door opened behind the two Dao children and a one-armed man wrapped in gauze with blood stains walked out, emitting a rancid aura.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua!

Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s condition was even worse than Su Zimo had imagined.

Eternal d.a.m.nation still caused him immense damage. Even with the power of the Sect Master of the Academy, his life was only barely saved.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua glared at Su Zimo fiercely and gritted his teeth. “Su Zimo, to think that you would have such a day as well!”

“Fufu.”

Su Zimo looked at Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s tragic state and sneered.

“You don’t have to laugh!”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua said hatefully, “Your outcome will be even worse than mine later on!”

The Sect Master of the Academy looked at Su Zimo and said indifferently, “All these years, you must have been wondering why I did not punish Sword Immortal Yue Hua severely despite him targeting you repeatedly.”

Su Zimo merely sneered and remained silent.

Over the years, he had clashed with Sword Immortal Yue Hua a few times.

At the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet, Sword Immortal Yue Hua even joined forces with outsiders to slander him as somebody from another race and wanted to kill him.

Even after committing such a serious crime, the Sect Master of the Academy merely brushed it off with a few words.

The Sect Master of the Academy said self-consciously, “It’s simple, because he’s obedient.”

With that said, Sword Immortal Yue Hua ran over hurriedly and knelt obediently at the feet of the Sect Master of the Academy, prostrating on the ground respectfully.

“Yes.”

The Sect Master of the Academy was very satisfied and stroked the top of Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s head gently, as though he was stroking a dog covered in injuries.

The Sect Master of the Academy said, “You’re very talented and have great potential. Everything about you surpa.s.ses Yue Hua, but you’re not obedient enough.”

“What’s the use of you being talented with great potential if you’re not obedient and can’t be used by me?”

Su Zimo smiled and asked, “Therefore, the standard for the academy to recruit disciples is not based on talent or character, but on whether he’s obedient?”

“Of course.”

The Sect Master of the Academy smiled indifferently.

Su Zimo surveyed his surroundings. “You’re not the only ones here today, right? Who else is there? Why don’t you all show yourselves and let me take a look?”

“Little b*stard, it’s time for you to pay with your life!”

Right then, another voice sounded, filled with killing intent and resounding like metal clas.h.i.+ng.

Su Zimo turned around.

A tall black-robed man walked into the hall slowly. He had a resolute expression and narrow eyes, exuding a cold killing intent with a terrifying aura!

It was another Immortal King expert!

“And you are?”

Su Zimo raised his brow and asked.

The Sect Master of the Academy said, “You once killed his son in Absolute Thunder City.”

Prince Yuan Zuo?

King Jin had arrived!
