2288 Waiting for a Chance
Divine Firmament Mainland, Hui Yin Mountain.
Countless towering ancient trees covered the skies.
On the peak, someone had built a spacious pavilion. Standing here, one could appreciate the magnificent scenery of the Hui Yin Mountain Range.
This day, a gigantic crane flew over from the west. On its back sat a young man with a dark expression. He was a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal and his facial features were 70% similar to the inner sect disciple of Heaven and Earth Academy, Pang Yu.
This was another direct descendant of the Pang Clan, Pang Yu’s brother, Pang Yi.
The two brothers were extremely outstanding among the younger generation of the Pang Clan and were specially groomed by the family clan.
Pang Yu joined Heaven and Earth Academy while Pang Yi joined Imperial Wind Temple.
In terms of combat strength, Pang Yi was even above Pang Yu!
Leaping down from the crane’s back, Pang Yi frowned instinctively when he saw that the pavilion was empty. He found a stone chair and sat down quietly, closing his eyes to rest.
Before long, more than ten figures sped over from the east. They were clad in armor and shone with cold lights. With sabers on their waists, they were all top-tier Heaven Immortals!
“Execution Guards?”
Pang Yi opened his eyes and recognized their backgrounds right away.
The emblem of the Execution Guards was way too obvious.
A brocade-robed man stood in the middle of the Execution Guards with a demonic look in his eyes.
Pang Yi stood up slowly and cupped his fists. “So, it’s Prince Yuan Zuo. Nice to meet you.”
After all, Prince Yuan Zuo was once the prince who ruled over a county of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. He was famous and Pang Yi had seen him before from afar.
“You are…”
Prince Yuan Zuo was slightly stunned when he saw Pang Yi.
“I’m Pang Yi of the Pang Clan. Right now, I’m an inner sect disciple of Imperial Wind Temple.”
Pang Yi reported his identity.
Prince Yuan Zuo raised his brow slightly and a thought flashed through his mind. He quickly understood and asked, “You were also invited by Fellow Daoist Qingyun?”
“I am.”
Pang Yi nodded and did not hide anything. “However, Fellow Daoist Qingyun doesn’t seem to be here yet.”
“Let’s wait a little more.”
Prince Yuan Zuo sat on a stone chair as well.
Before long, a figure appeared from the south. In a few breaths, he arrived and descended.
“Ah, Fellow Daoist Gui Yuan of Flying Immortal Sect.”
Pang Yi stood up and greeted with cupped fists.
Among the inner sect disciples of Flying Immortal Sect, the combat strength of Heaven Immortal Gui Yuan was ranked top five!
Prince Yuan Zuo did not stand up and merely sat on the stone chair. He cupped his fists and smiled. “If I’m not wrong, Fellow Daoist Gui Yuan was invited by Fellow Daoist Qingyun as well, right?”
“Yes.”
Heaven Immortal Gui Yuan did not talk much.
Right then, a bejeweled serpent wyrm carriage drove over slowly from the horizon not far away.
The driver of the carriage had white hair and was dull and expressionless. However, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines the moment they exchanged glances with the driver!
More than ten Execution Guards surrounded Prince Yuan Zuo hurriedly with nervous expressions.
The carriage stopped in midair and the curtains of the carriage were lifted. A graceful and dignified young man walked out.
This time round, even Prince Yuan Zuo stood up.
“Greetings, Prince Tianhong!”
Prince Yuan Zuo, Pang Yi and Heaven Immortal Gui Yuan stood up and cupped fists.
Prince Yuan Zuo had already lost his influence in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. However, Xie Tianhong of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom still ruled over a territory and had an extremely high status!
“There are so many people?”
Xie Tianhong was surprised.
“Everyone, sorry for the wait.”
Right then, a voice sounded slowly.
By the time he said the last word, Fang Qingyun had already descended on the peak of Hui Yin Mountain with Tang Peng right behind him.
“Fellow Daoist Qingyun, what’s going on?”
Xie Tianhong frowned and asked.
“Everyone, please take a seat.”
Fang Qingyun was in no hurry to explain. After everyone sat down again, he said in a deep voice, “The reason why I gathered everyone today is because for the past year, all of you have sent me messages asking about Su Zimo.”
“Of course, I know your intentions as well.”
Prince Yuan Zuo, Xie Tianhong and the other three exchanged glances with a tacit understanding.
Everyone present more or less knew about the feud between Su Zimo and one another.
Prince Yuan Zuo smiled. “To think that apart from me, there are actually so many experts who want to kill this person!”
“I don’t have any feud with him. I was merely entrusted by Senior Sister Meng Yao to take his life.”
Heaven Immortal Gui Yuan said indifferently.
Pang Yi said coldly, “My brother was killed by him. I’m going to make him pay with his blood!”
Xie Tianhong did not explain.
The reason why he wanted to deal with Su Zimo was entirely to curry favor with Zither Immortal Meng Yao.
After everyone was done, Fang Qingyun spoke slowly, “Fellow Daoists, pardon me for being blunt. It won’t be easy to deal with Su Zimo now.”
“He has just advanced to the Heaven Immortal realm. Any one of us can kill him with ease. What’s so difficult about that?”
Prince Yuan Zuo sneered, “All we have to do is find an opportunity and wait for him to leave Heaven and Earth Academy!”
Fang Qingyun was silent.
Since the Sect Master of the Academy had once set a gag order, he naturally did not dare to tell outsiders about what happened in the inner sect.
When Pang Yi saw Fang Qingyun’s silence, he thought that the latter was in a difficult position on account of their relationship as fellow sect mates. “Fellow Daoist Qingyun, if Su Zimo were to leave Heaven and Earth Academy, all you have to do is send us the news. You don’t have to do anything.”
Fang Qingyun shook his head. “Even if he leaves Heaven and Earth Academy, it won’t be easy to kill him in the territory of Divine Firmament Mainland.”
Su Zimo was taken in by the Sect Master as an in-name disciple.
In Divine Firmament Mainland, if Prince Yuan Zuo and the others mobilized a large number of experts to kill Su Zimo, there was a high chance that the Sect Master would sense it!
“Brother Qingyun, what do you mean by that?”
Prince Yuan Zuo could tell that Fang Qingyun was implying something.
Fang Qingyun did not explain. “In any case, the reason why I gathered everyone here today is to tell you guys not to act rashly and alert the enemy.”
“It’s not impossible to deal with Su Zimo, but we have to wait patiently for an opportunity!”
“Everyone, don’t worry. If there’s a good opportunity, I’ll tell you right away. At that time, please use all your strength and do not understand him. We’ll kill him then!”
Xie Tianhong replied, “That’s good enough. There’s no hurry to kill him right away.”
“However, everyone wants a piece of the pie. At that time, let’s see who will be the one who can get the kill on him!”
Prince Yuan Zuo narrowed his eyes. “If our four factions join forces and wait for an opportunity, he’ll definitely die!”
…
Fiend Domain.
After a thousand years, Tianhuang Sect grew extremely quickly in this corner of the Fiend Domain.
Heavenly Wolf had the memories and experience of his previous life and was once the Seven Emotions Fiend King. He was extremely familiar with how to expand his territory, devour and annex places.
In this aspect, there was no one more suitable than Heavenly Wolf!
In the first few decades, the Martial Dao Prime Body stood in to help Heavenly Wolf deal with some tough opponents.
Later on, the Martial Dao Prime Body handed almost everything in Tianhuang Sect to Heavenly Wolf and allowed the latter to manage and develop while he chose to enter seclusion to divine the Martial Dao.
After a thousand years, the territory of Tianhuang Sect was dozens of times larger than before and had already become the strongest black-grade sect in the vicinity!
