Eternal Sacred King

2135 At Odds

Within a carriage in the crowd.

The girl said softly, “Princess, you were right. Indeed, something unexpected happened. Even a Perfected Immortal has appeared!”

The plain-robed woman acknowledged and continued looking at the skies.

A commotion broke out in the surrounding crowd.

!!

The Immortal Sect Selection only selected Earth Immortals. Be it the four immortal sects or the cultivators watching the battle, the strongest were Heaven Immortal experts.

No matter which faction or world a Perfected Immortal expert was in, they were pillars of support and had noble statuses.

Initially, Heaven Abyss, Yang Ruoxu and the other two Heaven Immortals reigned supreme for the factions and all parties could maintain a balance.

The descent of a Perfected Immortal broke that balance instantly!

The four Heaven Immortals frowned when they saw that person.

Prince Yuan Zuo was delighted and hurried forward. “Jing Yue, you’re finally here!”

Both Prince Yuan Zuo and Perfected Immortal Jing Yue suffered a huge blow because of Feng Cantian.

Prince Yuan Zuo lost the territory of Green Cloud County and Perfected Immortal Jing Yue lost his position as the County Governor.

Of course, the two of them had interacted for many years and had some ties after all.

Before Prince Yuan Zuo received the mysterious letter and headed here, he sent a message to Perfected Immortal Jing Yue.

He had already vaguely guessed that there was a high chance they would encounter many obstacles in Coiling Dragon Mountain Range.

That was the reason why he planned before making a move and invited Perfected Immortal Jing Yue out of seclusion to preside over the situation for him.

Prince Yuan Zuo was scheming and extremely smart.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the prince in charge of Green Cloud County back then; he was even able to hide his true strength and confuse the world with a clone he cultivated.

However, for some reason, he was plagued by bad luck all these years and suffered setbacks.

Prince Yuan Zuo blamed everything on Su Zimo.

“Your Highness, I was delayed by something and came a little late,”

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue cupped his fists towards Prince Yuan Zuo and said in a deep voice.

“You’re not late. You came at the right time!”

Prince Yuan Zuo pointed at Su Zimo who was not far away and said hatefully, “This sinner killed more than a hundred Execution Guards of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom in front of everyone. Right now, he’s about to join the four immortal sects. We must capture him!”

“If he manages to escape under my watch after killing so many Execution Guards, what will become of the reputation of our Great Jin Immortal Kingdom?!”

More than a hundred Execution Guards died!

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue’s expression darkened.

He was the one who first discovered Su Zimo and brought him to Absolute Thunder City. That was the reason for the series of changes later on.

If this matter was traced back to its origin, it would be difficult for him to escape responsibility.

Therefore, even though he knew that it was inappropriate for a Perfected Immortal to appear for the Immortal Sect Selection, he still came.

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue knew one thing as well. Although he was a Perfected Immortal, it would be difficult for him to make a move if Su Zimo were to join the four immortal sects.

As his thoughts raced, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue looked at the four Heaven Immortals and cupped his fists. “Greetings, I’m Jing Yue.”

“Greetings, Exalted Immortal,”

The four Heaven Immortals did not dare to be rude and stood up one after another.

Although Perfected Immortal Jing Yue was not the Green Cloud County Governor, he was still an expert among Perfected Immortals.

The four Heaven Immortals had heard of him before.

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. “I know that it’ll be difficult for the four of you to explain things if you hand Su Zimo over.”

“How about this? The four of you, please give me some face. It’s fine as long as you guys do not recruit this person on behalf of the four immortal sects.”

As long as no one from the four immortal sects recruited Su Zimo, Prince Yuan Zuo could naturally attack without any reservations!

The only thing he was wary of were the four immortal sects.

A Perfected Immortal had appeared to demand Su Zimo!

The reputation of a Perfected Immortal expert was completely different from Prince Yuan Zuo.

Perfected Immortals represented another level of power.

Even if the four Heaven Immortals were unwilling, they could not express it directly and go against Perfected Immortal Jing Yue head-on.

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue continued, “As long as the four of you are willing to agree, I won’t decline if you look for me in the future for anything.”

The promise of a Perfected Immortal carried even more weight!

“It’s over for Su Zimo. A Perfected Immortal of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom has appeared and wants to capture him at all costs.”

“That’s expected as well. Think about it. How can a lowlife who offended a prince and killed so many Execution Guards survive?”

Many cultivators shook their heads emotionally.

In midair, Su Zimo remained silent with a calm expression.

The current situation no longer had anything to do with him.

In other words, his life and death depended on a single thought of theirs!

“Since Exalted Immortal Jing Yue said that, I’ll withdraw on behalf of Flying Immortal Sect,”

Heaven Immortal White Sea smiled gently and cupped his fists.

Now that a Perfected Immortal had appeared, there was no need for him to continue pressing the matter.

Furthermore, Zither Immortal Meng Yao was from the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. If he took a step back first, he could consider that a favor as well.

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue nodded slightly with a smile. “Not long ago, I even met Princess Meng Yao. If we meet again, I’ll speak up for you in front of her.”

“Thank you, Exalted Immortal,”

Heaven Immortal White Sea was delighted.

It was enough if he could leave a good impression on Zither Immortal Meng Yao because of this.

“What do the three of you think?”

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue swept his gaze towards Heaven Abyss, Yang Ruoxu and Heaven Immortal Green Peak. There was a hint of pressure in his tone and gaze.

Heaven Abyss’s expression was still grim.

Yang Ruoxu’s expression was indifferent as he lowered his head.

Heaven Immortal Green Peak looked restless and uneasy.

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue had been famous for a long time and the people he befriended were all Perfected Immortal experts.

In other words, only legacy disciples of Imperial Wind Temple were qualified to speak to him.

Who knew if Perfected Immortal Jing Yue had any ties with any legacy disciple of Imperial Wind Temple.

It was truly not worth it to offend a legacy disciple of the sect because of this.

Suddenly, Heaven Immortal Green Peak smiled. “My side is easygoing, it’s fine whether or not we recruit him. Exalted Immortal, it’s better if you ask the other two about their stances.”

Heaven Immortal Green Peak set a trap.

In reality, he did not say explicitly that he was not recruiting Su Zimo. Instead, he pushed the responsibility to Heaven Abyss and Yang Ruoxu.

If Heaven Abyss and Yang Ruoxu backed off, he would not insist either and would go with the flow.

If Heaven Abyss or Yang Ruoxu did not back off, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue’s attention would shift to the two of them.

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue sneered internally.

Although he could tell what Heaven Immortal Green Peak was thinking, he did not expose him. Instead, he shifted his gaze towards Heaven Abyss and Yang Ruoxu.

“I don’t agree,”

Heaven Abyss suddenly spoke.

Many cultivators were invigorated and their eyes lit up.

He was taking it head-on!

A Heaven Immortal expert of Mountain Sea Immortal Sect and a Perfected Immortal of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom were at odds!

At that moment, Su Zimo became nervous as well.

When he came to take part in the Immortal Sect Selection this time round, his inclination was towards Mountain Sea Immortal Sect.

On the Dragon Abyss Star, he had conflicts with legacy disciples of the other three immortal sects.

Although he did not expose his identity, he felt hesitant internally.

Su Zimo did not care if Flying Immortal Sect withdrew. At the very least, Mountain Sea Immortal Sect was still around.

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue glared at Heaven Abyss with a dark gaze and said slowly, “Heaven Abyss, the number one of the previous Heaven Ranking. Ferocious methods, dominating personality and completely fearless. I’ve long heard of you!”

“Now that I’ve seen it for myself, you truly live up to your reputation.”

Although Perfected Immortal Jing Yue praised Heaven Abyss openly, there was a hint of coldness in his tone.
