2118 Scheme
Prince Yuan Zuo and Lone Star soared into the air with many Execution Guards and stood in front of the four immortal sects.
“Greetings, Fellow Daoists. I’m Yuan Zuo of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom,”
Prince Yuan Zuo cupped his fists and greeted Heaven Immortal White Sea and the others.
He looked at Heaven Immortal White Sea with a slightly more enthusiastic gaze.
After all, Heaven Immortal White Sea was an inner sect disciple of Flying Immortal Sect.
Meng Yao was also a legacy disciple of Flying Immortal Sect.
Furthermore, he and Meng Yao were siblings.
From that point of view, he had some connection to Heaven Immortal White Sea.
“Prince Yuan Zuo, how have you been?”
Heaven Immortal White Sea smiled gently and stood up. He closed his folding fan and returned the greeting with cupped fists.
Heaven Abyss nodded slightly without standing up as a form of greeting.
Yang Ruoxu stood up and returned the greeting. He merely nodded and followed through the motions before returning to his seat.
Heaven Immortal Green Peak did not stand up or return the greeting. He merely smiled and asked, “Prince Yuan Zuo, you’ve come from afar. What brings you here?”
There was a hint of mockery in Heaven Immortal Green Peak’s words.
If Prince Yuan Zuo was still the same as before, he would naturally not dare to do this.
But now that Prince Yuan Zuo’s status had plummeted and he had lost his territory, Heaven Immortal Green Peak naturally looked down on him.
Lone Star’s expression darkened but he did not say anything.
Prince Yuan Zuo pretended not to notice and smiled. “It’s not a big deal. Recently, I received news that a sinner wanted by the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom for many years is in the vicinity of Coiling Dragon Mountain Range, so I brought people over to take a look.”
At that point, Prince Yuan Zuo paused for a moment and glanced at the expressions of Heaven Immortal White Sea and the others.
Heaven Abyss, Yang Ruoxu and Heaven Immortal Green Peak were experienced and expressionless.
Although Heaven Immortal White Sea had a smile on his face the entire time, he did not say anything either. Prince Yuan Zuo could not read his mind.
When the four of them did not reply, the atmosphere fell silent in an awkward manner.
Prince Yuan Zuo took a deep breath and could only continue, “I want to capture this sinner back to the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. However, out of respect, I still have to greet the four of you.”
“Oh?”
Heaven Immortal White Sea raised his brow slightly and asked, “Where is this sinner?”
Prince Yuan Zuo turned around slightly and pointed to a figure in the valley. “That’s him!”
The direction Prince Yuan Zuo was pointing was where Su Zimo was!
Heaven Immortal White Sea and the others frowned at the same time.
The crowd below stirred when they saw that.
Prince Yuan Zuo said hurriedly, “This is the sinner wanted by the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom for more than 2,000 years, Su Zimo!”
The crowd was in an uproar!
“That Grade 6 Earth Immortal is Su Zimo?”
“I heard that more than 2,000 years ago, Su Zimo was only a Grade 1 Earth Immortal. How did he cultivate so quickly?”
“That doesn’t seem right. I’ve seen a portrait of Su Zimo from the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom before. It seems to be different from this young man’s appearance.”
A commotion broke out from the mountain range.
Heaven Immortal White Sea frowned slightly as well. “Fellow Daoist Yuan Zuo, are you mistaken?”
“There’s no mistake!”
Prince Yuan Zuo said in a deep voice, “Su Zimo specializes in a disguise technique that’s almost the same as Myriad Transformations. His current appearance is a disguise.”
“Everyone, please give me face and detain this person. I’ll be extremely grateful if you hand him over to me to take back to the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.”
“This…”
Heaven Immortal White Sea had a conflicted expression as he chuckled dryly and glanced at the three people beside him.
Yang Ruoxu and the other two did not react, as though they had not heard Prince Yuan Zuo.
Earlier on, the four of them were fighting to recruit that person into the sect. Now, they had to hand over this person just because of a single sentence from Prince Yuan Zuo?
How was that different from slapping themselves on the face?
In other words, so what if Su Zimo was a wanted sinner of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom?
As long as his talent and potential were strong enough, the four immortal sects would dare to take him in!
This time round, even Heaven Immortal White Sea did not say anything.
The crowd quietened down once more and Prince Yuan Zuo’s expression turned ugly.
Although he had already lowered his status and said such words in front of everyone, Heaven Immortal White Sea and the other three were still unmoved!
The discussions in the crowd below were noisy and even Prince Yuan Zuo found them jarring.
Finally, Lone Star could not hold it in any longer and harrumphed coldly, questioning loudly, “Fellow Daoists, Su Zimo is a sinner of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. Do you guys want to offend the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom just because of a Grade 6 Earth Immortal?!”
“Fufu,”
Heaven Immortal Green Peak sneered with a mocking expression, “Commander Lone Star, you sure are impressive! Why? Just because you’re an Execution Guard of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, you wish to interfere with our four immortal sects?”
“You!”
Lone Star was speechless and his face turned green.
“Hmph!”
Heaven Abyss harrumphed coldly. “This is Coiling Dragon Mountain Range, not your Great Jin Immortal Kingdom!”
Heaven Abyss’s voice surged like a tsunami and reverberated through the valley, rumbling with a powerful might and will.
Not only did Lone Star’s question fail to do anything, it even incurred the strong resistance of Heaven Immortal Green Peak and the others.
It was not Lone Star’s fault as well.
The Execution Guards were used to being domineering and arrogant in the territory of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.
Because Lone Star did not rein it in after leaving the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, he was snubbed.
No matter how strong the three Immortal Kingdoms were or how large their territory was, they could not control the four immortal sects!
Prince Yuan Zuo knew that he could not be tough if he wanted to resolve this matter.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Prince Yuan Zuo revealed a smile once more and cupped his fists. “I was a little reckless. Fellow Daoists, please forgive me. Su Zimo is indeed a wanted criminal of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and is even related to Feng Cantian. Fellow Daoists, please grant my wish. I’ll definitely reward you immensely in the future.”
Feng Cantian!
He was a taboo in the entire Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, or rather, a sinner.
Even the four immortal sects would not dare to back Feng Cantian.
The reason why Prince Yuan Zuo mentioned Feng Cantian at this moment was because he wanted Heaven Immortal White Sea and the other three to feel the pressure.
After a long silence, Yang Ruoxu shook his head. “He’s not Feng Cantian. Even if he is related to Feng Cantian, it’s nothing much. Furthermore, this lad is taking part in the Immortal Sect Selection in the valley. We can’t break the rules and interfere in the process of the Immortal Sect Selection.”
“Everything has to wait till the Immortal Sect Selection is over.”
When he heard that, Prince Yuan Zuo frowned.
If the Immortal Sect Selection was over and Su Zimo became one of the last hundred people, he could join the four immortal sects at any moment. Wouldn’t that be even more difficult?
Yang Ruoxu was clearly stalling for time with his words!
Although Prince Yuan Zuo realized this, he did not dare to point out his accusation.
He looked at Su Zimo in the valley and the hatred in his heart rose to its limits!
He wished for nothing more than to charge into the valley and tear this person into pieces!
Suddenly!
A thought flashed through Prince Yuan Zuo’s mind as he came up with a plan. His lips curled into a smile.
“Since the Immortal Sect Selection has already begun and you guys can’t interfere, I naturally can’t force the four of you either,”
At that point, Prince Yuan Zuo paused for a moment before changing the topic. “However, I heard that Su Zimo took part in the Immortal Sect Selection midway?”
“Yes,”
Yang Ruoxu nodded.
Prince Yuan Zuo smiled. “Since Su Zimo can participate midway, doesn’t that mean that as long as the others meet the conditions, they can enter this valley and take part in the Immortal Sect Selection?”
As he said that, Prince Yuan Zuo turned back and swept his gaze across the hundred-odd Earth Execution Guards behind him.
