2099 Old Friends
It was no wonder why Zuo Zhuxuan was a genius of the Zuo family.
It was indeed extremely rare for him to be able to react in such a short period of time and release Nether Swap to avoid Su Zimo’s killing move after the first flash of the True Dragon Nine Flashes.
However, Su Zimo’s expression was unchanged as he disappeared once more in a flash.
Zuo Zhuxuan had just escaped. Before he could catch her breath, he turned back instinctively and was horrified to discover that Su Zimo had vanished once more!
“Are you looking for me?”
A calm voice sounded behind him.
He was close by!
Bang!
The next moment, Zuo Zhuxuan felt a sharp pain at the back of his head. An arrow of blood burst forth from his eyes and spilled down slowly.
Su Zimo pierced his head with a single finger!
His Essence Spirit was destroyed.
Zuo Zhuxuan fell limply to the ground with widened eyes. His expression was still filled with fear and his gaze dimmed—he was dead!
Even after recovering Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, the Grade 8 Earth Immortal, Zuo Zhuxuan, could not last two rounds!
On the other side, Shangguan Qian was swapped into midair by Zuo Zhuxuan’s Nether Swap. At that moment, she did not escape. Instead, she descended slowly from midair.
She knew that even if she chose to escape, she would not be able to escape.
The strength of Mo Ling before her had far surpassed her imagination!
Shangguan Qian looked at Su Zimo who was walking over slowly with a conflicted expression.
She was the first to notice that this person was unusual.
However, she had not expected that this person would be so unusual that it was unbelievable!
Before long, Su Zimo arrived before Shangguan Qian.
Shangguan Qian sighed internally.
She knew very well that although there was no feud between the two of them, there was no way Mo Ling would let her leave after witnessing this scene today.
However, she was still puzzled and wanted an answer.
“You were pretending to be drunk when you joined the sect, right?”
Shangguan Qian looked at Su Zimo and asked softly.
She knew that she would definitely die. Instead of fear, she became calm.
“Yes,”
Su Zimo nodded and did not lie.
Shangguan Qian thought for a moment and continued, “Did something happen for you to fail your breakthrough previously?”
She had once seen a heartbreaking sadness in Su Zimo’s eyes.
Even she felt terrible when she saw that sadness.
After a long silence, Su Zimo said, “Someone very, very important to me has left.”
Shangguan Qian went silent as well.
She did not know how to persuade him about something like that either.
In fact, she even felt a hint of envy towards the person who left.
Most cultivators were pure and heartless. Even if she died, there would not be many people in this world who would feel sad for her.
At the thought of this, Shangguan Qian laughed self-deprecatingly and thought to herself, “If I have to die, so be it.”
“Make your move,”
Shangguan Qian closed her eyes.
After a while, she did not feel any pain or killing.
She opened her eyes and looked over. Unknowingly, Su Zimo had already left her and was tidying up the battlefield at the side, collecting the storage bags of the many Execution Guards, Zuo Zhuxuan and the others.
“You can leave,”
Su Zimo said with his back facing Shangguan Qian.
“Why didn’t you kill me?”
Shangguan Qian frowned slightly in confusion.
Su Zimo asked instead, “Why should I kill you?”
In truth, apart from the fact that he wanted to silence them, there was another reason why he killed Zuo Zhuxuan and Lin Ming.
More importantly, it was because the two of them had provoked him repeatedly before and even wanted to kill him!
The first time he came out of seclusion, both of them sent cultivators to follow him.
The second time he came out of seclusion, when he was receiving the inheritance of the Exalted Mystic Spirit Big Dipper True Sutra, Lin Ming wanted to interrupt him as well.
After the inheritance was over, Zuo Zhuxuan even threatened to snatch the cultivation technique.
Although Shangguan Qian was the first person to notice his abnormality, she had stood up for him countless times during this period of time.
While Su Zimo did not express anything, he remembered everything.
Although he had changed his appearance, his personality had not changed and he was clear about gratitude and hatred.
Zuo Zhuxuan and Lin Ming deserved to be killed!
However, Su Zimo would not kill Shangguan Qian who had helped him before just to silence her.
Furthermore, Shangguan Qian did not know his true identity at all.
He had the Trinity Auspicious Jade and could change his appearance at any moment.
Shangguan Qian had a conflicted expression and naturally did not know what Su Zimo was thinking.
After a long silence, she suddenly said, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist. However, I still have to make a vow!”
“I, Shangguan Qian, will definitely not reveal anything that I saw today. If I break this vow, the heavens will smite me and my soul will disperse!”
With that said, Shangguan Qian cupped her fists and bowed to Su Zimo before turning to leave, disappearing into the horizon before long.
During this period of time, Su Zimo had already tidied up the battlefield.
He turned around and walked towards Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo.
At that moment, Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo felt uneasy as well.
That was because the two of them did not know Mo Ling at all and did not know why he would suddenly start a massacre and kill the Execution Guards.
The two of them were not sure if Mo Ling would attack them to silence them.
Looking at Su Zimo who was gradually approaching, Gu Tongyou tightened his grip on the Fallen Soul Flute.
At that moment, Heaven and Earth Essence Qi had already recovered.
Although he was injured, with the Fallen Soul Flute around, he could fight Mo Ling!
“Benefactors, we meet again,”
Su Zimo came before Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo and bowed.
At that moment, Gu Tongyou and Su Zimo were stunned.
Benefactors?
With a single thought from Su Zimo, his appearance gradually changed and his figure returned to normal.
In the blink of an eye, he turned into a refined man with a scholarly aura.
“You…”
Gu Tongyou looked at Su Zimo with a confused expression, still unable to recognize him.
He felt that the person before him looked familiar, as though he had seen him somewhere before. However, he could not recall where.
“Dragon Abyss Star,”
Su Zimo said.
When Qiu Siluo heard those words, a thought flashed through her mind and she came to a realization. “I remember now. You’re that Black Immortal!”
Gu Tongyou gradually recalled as well.
More than 2,000 years ago, the two of them visited a secret ground on the Dragon Abyss Star.
It was also there that the two of them obtained the Soul Reaping Zither and the Fallen Soul Flute.
Before entering the secret ground, they encountered an Earth Immortal who wanted to kill another Black Immortal because of a Dharmic treasure.
The two of them could not take it lying down and helped to save the Black Immortal.
This was an extremely ordinary matter for the two of them and neither of them took it to heart.
To think that they would meet that Black Immortal again today!
What surprised Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo even more was that the former Black Immortal had already grown to such a terrifying extent!
It had only been more than 2,000 years and even with their talent, they had only advanced a single cultivation realm.
This Black Immortal had already cultivated to become a Grade 5 Earth Immortal!
Furthermore, his combat strength was so terrifying that both of them felt wary!
