2090 Mission

“You’re the one who obtained the inheritance of Astral Sect?”

Commander Liu turned around and asked Su Zimo who was on the green stone not far away.

Su Zimo ignored it, as though he had not heard anything.

Everyone’s expressions changed.

It was one thing for Su Zimo to ignore Zuo Zhuxuan and the others earlier on—nothing much could happen in the sect grounds.

But now, even the Sect Master of Astral Sect did not dare to be negligent against the Execution Guard’s question.

However, Su Zimo did not even look at him!

The Execution Guards represented the royal family of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. If Su Zimo was charged with contempt towards the royal family and killed here, no one would dare to stand up for him.

Shangguan Qian had seen the heart-wrenching sadness in Su Zimo’s eyes before. Right now, she could not bear to see him in trouble, so she stood out and said, “Fellow Daoist Mo Ling has just failed in his breakthrough and his Dao Heart is damaged. He has suffered quite a blow and might not be able to let it go right now. Please forgive him, Commander Liu.”

Commander Liu raised his brow slightly and surveyed his surroundings.

Although almost all the cultivators of Astral Sect were present, he had no reservations.

He was an Execution Guard and even the Sect Master of Astral Sect would not dare to attack him!

However, if he interrogated a Grade 5 Earth Immortal in front of everyone and asked the latter to hand over Astral Sect’s inheritance, it would definitely hurt his reputation if word of it spreads.

“It’s fine,”

Commander Liu waved it off and pretended to be magnanimous. “It’s only normal for him to take things too hard after receiving such a serious blow.”

Pausing for a moment, he changed the topic. “However, we’re on a mission this time round to hunt down two sinners. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we should choose a few Earth Immortals of Astral Sect to accompany us.”

Apart from Sect Master Astral Rain and the other Heaven Immortals, Su Zimo, Shangguan Qian, Xie Tianfeng, Lin Ming and Zuo Zhuxuan were the only ones in front of Su Zimo’s cave abode.

“The five of you will do. Follow me,”

Commander Liu pointed to Su Zimo and the others and said indifferently.

Actually, among the five of them, Su Zimo was his only true target.

However, it would be too obvious if he took Su Zimo away directly. There was no harm in bringing the others along as a cover.

Later on, he would have many methods to get rid of the other four people to silence them.

At that time, he could take Su Zimo away without outsiders knowing.

Everyone from Astral Sect would merely take it that the five of them had died outside.

Zuo Zhuxuan, Shangguan Qian and the others could tell that Commander Liu’s target was Su Zimo.

However, Commander Liu’s thoughts were extremely deep. None of them expected that he had already wanted to kill them the moment he chose them!

Xie Tianfeng cupped fists hurriedly and smiled. “Thank you for your high regards, Commander Liu. I’m Xie Tianfeng of the Xie family and I’ll definitely do my best to obey your orders!”

Xie Tianfeng’s thoughts were simple.

Since he could not reject it, he might as well agree readily. Instead, he could leave a good impression on this commander of the Execution Guards.

Furthermore, it would naturally be best if he could contribute to the encirclement of any sinners with Commander Liu.

Even if he did nothing, an interaction with Commander Liu would only benefit him and the Xie family.

Immediately after, Lin Ming agreed as well.

Zuo Zhuxuan and Shangguan Qian’s first reaction was conflicted.

However, given the status of the Execution Guards and the order of a commander, the two of them did not dare to disobey.

Sect Master Astral Rain’s expression changed slightly when he heard Commander Liu’s order.

He had lived for 200,000 years and had experienced countless storms and schemes.

He vaguely realized that Su Zimo’s group of five would most likely be doomed if they followed.

He did not mind the death of Zuo Zhuxuan, Shangguan Qian and the other two.

The four of them were from a large family clan in Solar Luna County. Joining Astral Sect this time round was merely a training expedition and they would return to their family clans sooner or later.

However, Mo Ling did not have any status and was alone.

Now that he had obtained Astral Sect’s inheritance, if they could nurture him well, he would definitely be famous in the future and might even have a chance to lead Astral Sect to a rise!

It would be a pity if he died outside just like that.

“Commander Liu,”

Sect Master Astral Rain smiled and cupped his fists. “Mo Ling is only a Grade 5 Earth Immortal. Coupled with his failed breakthrough, his Dao Heart is damaged and his combat strength is mostly crippled. He won’t be of much help.”

“How about I replace this person and follow…”

“I don’t need you!”

Astral Rain was interrupted by Commander Liu before he could finish.

Commander Liu sneered and glared at Sect Master Astral Rain. “The two people we’re chasing are only Earth Immortals. There’s no need for a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal like you to step in.”

“But…”

Astral Rain had a worried expression and wanted to say something.

“That’s settled then. The five of you, follow me!”

Commander Liu did not give Astral Rain a chance to speak at all. He pointed at Su Zimo’s group of five and said coldly before leaping onto the immortal boat.

Xie Tianfeng and Lin Ming followed closely behind and leaped onto the immortal boat.

Zuo Zhuxuan and Shangguan Qian hesitated for a moment before hopping in as well.

In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo was the only one left sitting on the green stone.

Commander Liu shifted his gaze and glared at Su Zimo. His eyes gradually narrowed with a cold aura. Just as he was about to speak, Su Zimo suddenly stood up and walked towards the immortal boat with a calm expression.

Commander Liu’s expression softened as he nodded slightly with a satisfied expression.

“Mo Ling, you…”

When Sect Master Astral Rain saw that Su Zimo’s face was pale and he was in an extremely bad condition, he was worried and shouted instinctively, wanting to remind him.

“It’s fine,”

Su Zimo waved it off. “I’ll go with them.”

Commander Liu looked at Sect Master Astral Rain with a threatening gaze and asked slowly, “What else do you want to say?!”

Sect Master Astral Rain sighed internally and shook his head gently.

“Let’s go!”

Commander Liu gestured with his gaze and another Execution Guard controlled the immortal boat. Without stopping, it sped out of Astral Sect and disappeared from everyone’s line of sight in the blink of an eye.

Before long, a blood beam rose in midair in the east and exploded.

“That way! Hurry!”

Commander Liu hollered.

Under the control of the other Execution Guard, the immortal boat became even faster!

“Seems like that man and woman are trapped,”

An Execution Guard said softly.

Commander Liu nodded and glanced sideways at Su Zimo who was silent in the corner of the immortal boat, sneering internally.

He was about to kill the couple and was in no hurry to interrogate this person.

Even if managed to force it out of this person, it was inconvenient to cultivate it on the immortal boat.

Once this mission was over, he would have plenty of time to interrogate him properly.

At the side, Xie Tianfeng leaned forward and asked with a pandering smile, “May I ask, Commander Liu, what’s the mission this time round? Is it just to encircle and suppress two people?”

“Let me tell you guys, this mission is no small matter. It was sent down personally by Princess Meng Yao of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom,”

Commander Liu said coldly, “If we don’t handle it well, the few of us will lose our heads!”
