Eternal Sacred King

2092 Black Light Essence Severing Formation

The man in the middle had a mighty figure and his long hair draped over his shoulders.

His face and white robes were stained with blood and he held a pitch-black jade flute in his hands. He looked a little wretched and even had difficulty standing, swaying on the verge of falling.

This man was the cultivator who saved Su Zimo on the Dragon Abyss Star!

If not for the man’s deep and melancholic eyes, Su Zimo would not have been able to recognize him right away.

Those eyes were way too unique.

With a single glance, one would even automatically ignore everything else about the man and be attracted by those eyes.

The white-dressed woman beside the man was extremely beautiful and her skin was fair as snow. Now that she was severely injured, her face was as pale as a sheet.

The white-dressed woman could not even stand and slumped to the ground. The two bloodied wounds on her legs were shocking.

As Su Zimo had expected, the man and woman were the immortal couple who had saved him before.

However, although he recognized the two of them, they did not recognize Su Zimo who had changed his appearance.

Furthermore, the two of them merely saved Su Zimo casually at that time.

Even if Su Zimo revealed his true appearance, the two of them might not be able to recognize him.

There were more than ten corpses strewn around the man and woman—all of them were Execution Guards!

“What took you guys so long?”

One of the Earth Execution Guards who was the tallest, almost ten feet tall, glanced at Commander Liu and frowned slightly, asking loudly.

“Hehe,”

Commander Liu said with a fake smile, “Commander Xiong, something went wrong on the way here and delayed our schedule. However, it doesn’t seem like we’re too late.”

“Not too late?”

Another Execution Guard commander sneered, “We’ve already lost more than ten brothers! If you had arrived on time, we wouldn’t have lost so many people.”

“Once today’s matter is over, I’ll definitely report it to Princess Meng Yao!”

After a moment of silence, Commander Liu said, “You’re making things sound too serious, Commander Li.”

“I changed my schedule midway because I heard last minute news that Su Zimo whom Prince Yuan Zuo had been hunting for many years appeared in the vicinity of Astral Sect. That’s why I went there to check things out.”

Naturally, he would not tell the truth that he wanted to obtain the inheritance of Astral Sect alone.

However, his words were very smart.

Commander Liu knew that if he changed his schedule in private and caused a delay to this matter, Princess Meng Yao would definitely punish him for offending her.

Of course, he did not obtain any news of Su Zimo. However, no one could say anything when he mentioned Prince Yuan Zuo.

“Hmph!”

Commanders Xiong and Li harrumphed angrily and indeed did not say anything more.

“Since the Black Light Essence Severing Formation has already been set up, the two of them won’t be able to escape,”

Commander Liu smiled gently.

The moment Su Zimo entered the array flags, he realized that he could no longer sense the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi outside.

The array formation set up by the dozens of array flags could form a space that was isolated from Heaven and Earth Essence Qi!

“Qiu Siluo,”

Commander Liu looked at the white-dressed woman in the middle and sneered, “You’re not bad-looking and you play the zither well. Unfortunately, you should not have offended Princess Meng Yao!”

Commander Liu looked at the white-dressed woman in the middle and sneered, “You’re not bad-looking and you play the zither well. Unfortunately, you should not have offended Princess Meng Yao!”

The white-dressed woman’s hands were fair as jade and her fingers were slender. She sat on the ground limply with an ancient zither in her arms. It was about three feet and six inches long with a total of seven strings. Made from Parasol Tree Wood, it was black and red with an ancient charm.

That ancient zither was the one Su Zimo had seen in the abyss—it was the Soul Reaping Zither that Commander Liu mentioned!

Xie Tianfeng wanted to contribute and leave a good impression in the eyes of the Execution Guards. At that moment, he stood out right away and hollered, “What status does a sl*t like you have? You’re not worthy of competing with the princess of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, Zither Immortal Meng Yao, for the ancient zither!”

“I offended her?”

Qiu Siluo smiled faintly with a mocking expression. “I’ve obtained this Soul Reaping Zither for many years and am mentally connected to it.”

“However, when your Princess Meng Yao found out about this, she sent someone to look for me and demanded the Soul Reaping Zither. When I was unwilling to hand it over, you guys tried to snatch it. What logic is that?”

“Haha!”

Commander Xiong burst into laughter. “Woman, you’re truly too stupid! Princess Meng Yao is already giving you immense face by looking for you to demand the zither.”

“Hand it over obediently. Given Princess Meng Yao’s status, she’ll definitely give you some benefits. However, if you refuse to hand over the zither, won’t that just mean that you have a death wish?!”

Commander Liu sneered, “In other words, what can you do if Princess Meng Yao sends people to snatch your Soul Reaping Zither? It’s already a blessing for the princess to be polite before resorting to force!”

Su Zimo was expressionless.

He did not have a good impression of Princess Meng Yao to begin with.

Although this woman was known as one of the four great fairies, back on the Dragon Abyss Star, she killed people just because of a few comments.

Thereafter, in order to search for the Soul Reaping Zither, she searched the consciousnesses of all the cultivators present without any reservations and was domineering!

Su Zimo was not surprised that she could do such a thing.

Qiu Siluo said, “As a princess, she’s trying to snatch a treasure from an Earth Immortal while making her reasoning sound dignified. Isn’t she afraid of being mocked by the world?”

“Bullsh*t!”

Commander Li said, “When the princess headed to the Dragon Abyss Star, it was for this Soul Reaping Zither. This ancient zither belonged to the princess to begin with!”

“The entire world belonged to the king and its shores are owned by the ministers. All the treasures in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom belong to the royal family!!

“When the princess asked you for the zither, she was merely retrieving something she owned.”

Qiu Siluo shook her head. “This Dharmic treasure is sentient and has already acknowledged me as its master. What has it got to do with your Princess Meng Yao?”

“Sentient?”

Commander Liu sneered, “I heard that the spirit consciousnesses of the Soul Reaping Zither and Fallen Soul Flute have already been severely injured. It’s their own fault for being foolish enough to acknowledge others as their masters.”

The man at the side sighed gently. “If that wasn’t the case, you Execution Guards wouldn’t have dared to chase after me, right?”

Back on the Dragon Abyss Star, this ancient zither and flute killed many Earth Immortals before they acknowledged their masters.

Now that the spirit consciousnesses in the zither and flute were severely injured, their power was naturally greatly reduced.

“Gu Tongyou!”

Commander Li berated, “Heaven Inquisition Sect was destroyed because of the two of you and you’re still unrepentant?!”

The melancholy in Gu Tongyou’s eyes intensified as he said slowly, “The princess has gone too far. This is a matter between me and Siluo. What has it got to do with our sect?”

“Hmph!”

Commander Liu said murderously, “The Sect Master of Heaven Inquisition Sect did not know his place and even dreamed of protecting the two of you! Although Heaven Inquisition Sect is an earth-grade sect, it can’t defend against a single sentence from Princess Meng Yao!”

At the side, Xie Tianfeng, Lin Ming and everyone else were scared out of their wits.

Earth-grade immortal sects were much stronger than their family clans.

However, because of a single sentence from Princess Meng Yao, they were destroyed and reduced to ruins!

Commander Li had a mocking expression. “Gu Tongyou, you don’t have much Essence Qi left in your body. How much combat strength do you have left after falling into this Black Light Essence Severing Formation and being severely injured?”

“10% or 20%?”

“You can try,”

Gu Tongyou said indifferently.
