“Little brother, put away your spirit weapon. Don’t be rude.”
The girl patted the young man on the shoulder and berated him.
“Humph!”
The young man grit his teeth and glared at Su Zimo fiercely. Although he was unwilling, he still obeyed the girl’s orders and retracted his flying sword slowly.
However, he refused to relax. His muscles were tense and he looked wary, as though he could jump and attack at any moment!
Right now, Su Zimo’s Essence Spirit was locked by the power of the Life Severing Curse and he could not use his Dharmic powers. To others, he looked like a mortal without any cultivation at all.
Therefore, it was not surprising that the young man and girl could not tell Su Zimo’s cultivation.
At that moment, even Conjoint Body Mighty Figures could not see through Su Zimo’s strength!
“You were the one who saved me?”
Su Zimo looked at the girl and asked.
She nodded with a reminiscent expression. “That day, I was cultivating outside when suddenly, dark clouds filled the skies and lightning flashed. A bolt of lightning descended and pierced an ancient tree. You fell not far away and must have fainted from the shock of that thunderbolt, hence why I brought you back.”
Su Zimo nodded.
“How should I address you, mister?”
The girl asked again.
Su Zimo pondered for a moment. “My surname is Su.”
He did not know where he was right now. Coupled with the fact that his Essence Spirit was locked and his combat strength was greatly reduced, there was naturally no way he could reveal everything about himself.
Of course, Su Zimo guessed that given the young man and girl’s experience of the world, they had never heard of him even if he said his name.
Everyone in Tianhuang Mainland knew of Desolate Martial.
However, not many people knew that Desolate Martial’s true name was Su Zimo.
“Humph!”
The young man harrumphed coldly and mocked, “You’re being secretive. One look and I can tell that you’re not a good person!”
The girl did not say anything.
In her opinion, it was only logical for this green-robed man to be guarded against outsiders since he was in a foreign land and had just awakened.
“What are your names?”
Su Zimo asked.
“My name is Beiming Xue.”
The girl smiled and did not hide anything. She patted the young man beside her. “This is my younger brother, Beiming Ao. He was a little rude to Mr. Su. Please don’t blame him.”
“Sister, you don’t even know who he is. Why tell him our names?”
The young man called Beiming Ao twisted his body, seemingly unwilling.
Beiming Xue smiled and shook her head.
There was no need to hide something as such.
“Beiming…”
Su Zimo frowned slightly and murmured, “That surname isn’t too common.”
When he heard that, Beiming Ao clenched his fists in frustration.
A look of sadness flashed through Beiming Xue’s eyes as she lowered her head slightly.
“Where is this?”
Su Zimo asked again.
Beiming Xue said, “This is Beiming Town and my clansmen are all in the town.”
“Beiming Town?”
Su Zimo was confused and asked again, “Where is Beiming Town? The East Region? Middle Continent?”
Beiming Xue shook her head. “Beiming Town is located in the South Region of Tianhuang Mainland.”
“South Region!”
Su Zimo was shocked.
To think that he would have arrived at the South Region of Tianhuang Mainland after activating the teleportation formation on the beast hide with the spatial tunnel destroyed by Di Fan!
He had never stepped foot into this place before and was extremely foreign to it!
Of course, he had some understanding of the South Region as well.
For example, one of the six Buddhist monasteries, Dapamkara Monastery, where Ming Zhen was located, was a super sect of the South Region!
Ever since he parted ways with Ming Zhen in the Dao Inheritance Ground, the two of them had not seen each other.
Ming Zhen had obtained the inheritance of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva previously and his cultivation should not have fallen too far behind—he should have already entered the Dharma Characteristic realm.
If he had conjured his Ksitigarbha True Body, he would have a reason to take part in the fight for the Dharma Characteristic Ranking.
Could Ming Zhen have already seen through secular titles and no longer wanted to compete for the Dharma Characteristic Ranking?
Or could something have happened to Ming Zhen?
The North Region was now ruled by the capital of Great Zhou alongside various major sects and factions.
The Middle Continent relied entirely on the super sects.
The South Region was different from the North and Middle Continent.
The strongest factions in the South Region were the legendary three aristocratic families!
The nine immortal sects, eight demon races, seven fiend sects, six Buddhist monasteries, five heretical doctrines and four unorthodox groups followed by the three aristocratic families!
The three aristocratic families were different from the Yuwen and Taba families that Su Zimo had fought in the North Region.
These three aristocratic families were truly passed down from the ancient era and ruled over the South Region. They were eternal and had experienced countless storms!
The most terrifying thing was that in the ancient era, the three aristocratic families of the South Region gave birth to emperors!
That was the most important reason why the three aristocratic families had been passed down through history!
All three ancient aristocratic families had different surnames!
The Dongfang, Nangong and Ximen aristocratic families!
In the South Region, those three surnames were more useful than any Dao title.
Cultivators of the three surnames could dominate the South Region!
“Judging from your words, you’re not from the South Region, Mr. Su?”
Beiming Xue frowned slightly and asked curiously.
“Yes,”
Su Zimo nodded.
“If you’re not from the South Region, how did you get here? What are your motives for coming to Beiming Town?!” Beiming Ao questioned immediately.
This time round, Beiming Xue did not stop him either.
After all, she had done her best to save Su Zimo since his background was unknown.
She did not know if Su Zimo was good or bad either.
If Su Zimo truly had other motives, she could not let him stay in Beiming Town!
“It’s a long story,”
Su Zimo chuckled bitterly.
If he were to explain how he arrived at the South Region, the young man and girl would definitely be scared out of their wits!
“Hmph!”
The young man sneered, “Sister, what did I say? That person sure is conniving and secretive. He’s not a good person!”
Su Zimo could not be bothered to refute.
His gaze shifted to Beiming Xue’s dantian and he frowned slightly. “Your dantian is shattered?”
Earlier on, when he heard the conversation between the young man and girl, he thought that Beiming Xue’s dantian was only destroyed because she had made a mistake in her cultivation.
From the looks of it, Beiming Xue’s dantian was clearly shattered by an external force!
Beiming Xue did not reply and asked instead, “You know about cultivation too, Mr. Su?”
“A little.”
Su Zimo nodded.
Beiming Xue pursed her lips. “There’s nothing to hide. If my dantian is destroyed, so be it. At most, I’ll just restart.”
In her eyes, there was no hint of loss or despair from the destruction of her dantian!
Even Su Zimo had to praise that unyielding gaze internally.
“Sister, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take revenge for you!”
When Beiming Ao heard that, he even gave up on attacking Su Zimo for the time being. Turning back, he grit his teeth and said hatefully.
“Little brother, don’t interfere in this matter.”
Beiming Xue shook her head.
“How can I not interfere?!”
Beiming Ao said indignantly, “You finally managed to form your core but it was destroyed by that woman! This feud is irreconcilable!”
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat and he was moved.
This Beiming Xue who was merely around 16 years old managed to form a Golden Core!
Such talent was indeed shocking!
