Eternal Sacred King

2139 Butterfly

Within the carriage.

The girl was so anxious that she was about to cry.

“Princess, don’t be rash,”

The girl sent a voice transmission with her spirit consciousness, “Su Zimo has nothing to do with us. There’s no need for us to offend the Zither Immortal just because of him.”

“Your identity is special and every single move you make represents the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom. If you fall out with the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect because of this person, it’s truly unwise. I’m afraid King Zi Xuan will even blame you.”

The plain-robed woman was silent.

Part of the reason why she paid attention to Su Zimo was because before Yun Ting entered seclusion, he had instructed her to pay attention to news of this person so that they could fight again in the future.

On the other hand, it was also because she discovered that Su Zimo might be hiding a secret and was curious.

However, in reality, the girl beside her was not wrong.

Indeed, she had nothing to do with Su Zimo. In fact, they had never even met or spoken, let alone had any relationship.

The reason why she attacked earlier on was out of righteousness.

Ever since she was young, she could not stand the injustice of the world and wanted to fight against it. As such, she offended many factions and caused many troubles.

Later on, her father locked her in the library to punish her.

In her father’s words, he wanted to grind down that scholarly justice of hers.

To think that she would undergo a baptism, consolidation and transformation in the library. Although she rarely appeared, her reputation in Divine Firmament Mainland grew considerably!

Later on, although her father had already released her…

She was also unwilling to leave the library so easily.

The plain-robed woman was well aware of the filth and corruption of the outside world that she could not change singlehandedly.

Since she could not change it and was unwilling to go along with the flow, she might as reside in the library—her mind was more at peace without seeing everything that was out there.

With books as companions, she read through history and experienced the majesty of many ancient eras through words. She comprehended the endless secrets contained in the words—that was the meaning of life that she pursued.

The plain-robed woman hesitated.

As the girl had said, she did not know Su Zimo at all. Was she going to offend Meng Yao and fight over such a person?

She was a princess of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom and her every move would remind one of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom—she had too many reservations.

The plain-robed woman was silent and outsiders naturally did not know of her inner conflict.

In the eyes of the outsiders, Meng Yao’s torrential aura and brazen questioning had forced back the woman in the carriage!

Silence was concession!

If even the Perfected Immortal expert in the carriage chose to retreat, Su Zimo’s fate was already decided.

When Meng Yao saw that there was no longer any sound coming from the carriage, she seemed to be wary and did not push further. She turned to Prince Yuan Zuo and said, “Take Su Zimo away and return to the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom!”

“Understood!”

Prince Yuan Zuo was delighted and moved forward, prepared to capture Su Zimo.

Right then, a tall figure stood in front of Su Zimo. He was tall and straight with a sharp face. His bronze skin revealed a hint of resoluteness as he said with a firm gaze, “This is inappropriate!”

It was Yang Ruoxu of Heaven and Earth Academy!

A commotion broke out in the crowd.

Many cultivators looked at Yang Ruoxu in disbelief.

Now that Zither Immortal Meng Yao had appeared and the three Heaven Immortals had retreated in cowardice—even the Perfected Immortal in the carriage had taken a step back—who would dare to stand out?

On the surface, Yang Ruoxu was stopping Prince Yuan Zuo. However, in reality, he was stopping Zither Immortal Meng Yao!

Prince Yuan Zuo shrugged his shoulders slightly and did not say anything.

That was because he knew that he did not even have to step in for this matter.

“Mmm?”

Meng Yao frowned slightly and looked at Yang Ruoxu with cold eyes, asking indifferently, “Who are you?”

Yang Ruoxu cupped his fists and said in a deep voice, “I’m Yang Ruoxu, from Heaven and Earth Aca—”

“Never heard before,”

Before Yang Ruoxu could finish, he was interrupted coldly by Fairy Meng Yao.

Meng Yao said, “I’ve heard of many people in Heaven and Earth Academy, including the number one immortal of the academy, but I’ve never heard of any Yang Ruoxu.”

“Sister Meng Yao, he ascended from the lower worlds,”

Prince Yuan Zuo said at the side.

“Oh, no wonder,”

Meng Yao smirked with a hint of mockery. “So, he’s just a lowlife. That explains why he doesn’t know how to behave.”

The muscles on Yang Ruoxu’s face trembled slightly.

Although his emotions were surging, he still had a calm expression. “I’m just a junior of the academy and indeed don’t have much of a reputation. It’s normal for you to not have heard of me, Fairy Meng Yao.”

Meng Yao shook her head gently. “What’s up with Heaven and Earth Academy? They actually sent a lowlife who doesn’t know how to behave to host the Immortal Sect Selection. They’re truly getting worse.”

“Since it’s an arrangement of the academy, I don’t dare to make any rash decisions on my own accord. I only know that I have to fulfill my duty for this trip,”

Yang Ruoxu said expressionlessly.

“Oh? And your duty is?”

Meng Yao asked.

Yang Ruoxu said, “To select the most suitable disciples for our sect.”

Pausing for a moment, he continued, “I can’t cower because of any external obstac—”

“Hmph!”

Meng Yao harrumphed coldly.

Yang Ruoxu was interrupted once more before he could finish.

This time round, Meng Yao merely harrumphed. However, it was as though a gigantic hammer had landed on his chest and struck his heart heavily.

Yang Ruoxu’s face turned purple and he felt his chest turn stuffy. It was extremely uncomfortable and his heart felt like it was about to explode!

If Zither Immortal Meng Yao wanted to kill him, she wouldn’t even have to lift a finger!

“This is just a small lesson for you,”

Meng Yao said coldly, “If you push your luck and don’t know what’s good for you, I can kill you right now!”

The many cultivators of Heaven and Earth Academy were trembling in fear.

That was a blatant threat!

Nobody dared to doubt the Zither Immortal’s methods.

Meng Yao said, “Let me tell you, even if Sword Immortal Yue Hua of Heaven and Earth Academy comes here today, he has to give me face! Who do you think you are?!”

Yang Ruoxu laughed bitterly. “Fairy Meng Yao, please step in and get the academy to send Senior Brother Yue Hua over to replace me. I’ll naturally have nothing to say about that.”

“Mmm?”

Meng Yao’s expression turned cold and killing intent surged in her eyes.

The repeated provocation of this Heaven Immortal had triggered her killing intent!

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue was wary of Heaven and Earth Academy and did not dare to attack Yang Ruoxu and the others.

However, she did not have many reservations!

She was the Zither Immortal. Even if she killed this unknown Heaven Immortal, she believed that Heaven and Earth Academy would not offend her.

“Senior Brother Yang, please come back,”

A cultivator of the academy could not help but say.

Lu Wenbin was anxious as well. “Senior Brother Yang, he hasn’t joined the sect yet. Why would you risk your life to offend Exalted Immortal Meng Yao for an outsider?”

“What nonsense are you guys talking about?!”

Yang Ruoxu suddenly turned around and shouted, “I joined the academy and cultivated the Righteousness Sutra. I have to have a clear conscience for everything I do.”

“This person has already won the Immortal Sect Selection and is qualified to join the four immortal sects. How can he be considered as an outsider? Although the Zither Immortal is powerful, what rights does she have to take him away?!”

“If I retreat today, I won’t be able to cultivate any righteousness!”

Yang Ruoxu said those words indignantly in an impassioned manner. Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat and he was moved.

“Alright, since you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish,”

Meng Yao said coldly with an indifferent expression.

The moment she said that, the sound of a zither sounded in midair!

The sound of the zither possessed a strange demonic power and ripples appeared in the void, spreading towards Yang Ruoxu.

Although the ripples looked weak, Yang Ruoxu could not defend against them at all!

Right then, a snow-white butterfly suddenly flew out of nowhere and entered the battlefield.
