ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 6 - Season 20 Episode 5

Not long after Su Zimo entered the city, many guards reacted.

A guard hurriedly took out a messenger talisman from his storage bag and wrote a sentence on it. With a casual toss, the talisman transformed into a streak of light and vanished.

After Su Zimo entered the city, many people recognized him and caused a commotion.

He ignored everyone’s shocked gazes and sprinted forward. Before long, he arrived at the City Lord’s residence.

There were ten guards on both sides of the entrance of the City Lord’s residence and it was heavily guarded.

Su Zimo walked forward and cupped his fists towards one of the tall and skinny guards. “I want to use the teleportation formation to leave the Dragon Abyss Star and head to Green Cloud County.”

The guards of the City Lord’s residence guarded this place all year round and would almost never leave.

Back then, when Su Zimo fought beneath Dragon Abyss City, none of them went to the city wall to watch the battle. Therefore, they had never seen Su Zimo before.

Even if they had heard of Su Zimo’s name, they could not recognize him.

“You?”

The tall and skinny guard sized Su Zimo up and could not help but sneer when he saw that the latter was only a Grade 7 Black Immortal. “You’ll have to pay a hundred Essence Spirit Stones to use the teleportation formation. Can you afford it?!”

In his opinion, even the commanders of Dragon Abyss City might not be able to produce a hundred Essence Spirit Stones, let alone this green-robed scholar.

Su Zimo did not argue and took out a storage bag that he had prepared long ago. Opening it, he revealed the hundred Essence Spirit Stones inside.

The few guards swept their gazes and were shocked when they saw it clearly.

This unassuming Grade 7 Black Immortal could casually take out a hundred Essence Spirit Stones!

Greed flashed through the eyes of the tall and skinny guard.

He said expressionlessly, “Follow me.”

Under a few fervent gazes, Su Zimo followed the tall and skinny guard into the City Lord’s residence with a calm expression.

The tall and skinny guard led the way and Su Zimo followed closely behind.

After walking for a while, the tall and skinny guard suddenly turned around and asked loudly with a burning gaze, “Speak! Where did you get those hundred Essence Spirit Stones?!”

If it was anyone else, they would feel uneasy upon entering the City Lord’s residence.

After all, the City Lord’s residence was the most noble place on the Dragon Abyss Star and ordinary people would not have the chance to come into contact with it!

Given those circumstances alongside the tall and skinny guard’s threat, anyone who was caught off guard would definitely panic.

Once they revealed their fear, they would most likely not dare to lie to the tall and skinny guard.

However, when the tall and skinny guard suddenly stopped in his tracks and was about to turn around, Su Zimo seemed to have sensed it and stopped as well.

The tall and skinny guard’s move had no effect on Su Zimo at all!

Su Zimo merely looked at the tall and skinny guard calmly. “By chance, I obtained dozens of Essence Spirit Stones. The remaining ones were accumulated by me over the years, adding up to the hundred total.”

Looking at the calm Su Zimo, the tall and skinny guard was slightly disappointed.

“Where did you obtain the dozens of Essence Spirit Stones?”

The tall and skinny guard continued asking.

“That abyss,”

Su Zimo replied.

There were many Earth Immortals and Heaven Immortals buried in the abyss. Even if the tall and skinny guard did not believe it, he would not dare to check.

When the tall and skinny guard saw Su Zimo’s calm expression and flawless reply, he knew that he would not be able to get anything out of the latter even if he continued asking.

“Hand me the hundred Essence Spirit Stones,”

The tall and skinny guard extended his palm and said firmly.

Su Zimo raised his brow slightly and asked, “Where’s the teleportation formation?”

The tall and skinny guard pointed in a direction. “Follow this path and you’ll see the teleportation formation in about ten minutes.”

“Hurry, give me the Essence Spirit Stones!”

The tall and skinny guard urged impatiently.

Su Zimo was still motionless as he asked again, “If I give you the Essence Spirit Stones and head to the teleportation formation, I can leave this place immediately?”

“Hmph!”

The tall and skinny guard could not help but sneer and mock, “You must be dreaming! Do you think that the teleportation formation of the Dragon Abyss Star is only activated for you? Who do you think you are?”

Su Zimo was not bothered by the tall and skinny guard’s mockery.

This was the City Lord’s residence and he did not want to create unnecessary trouble.

“What do you mean?”

Su Zimo asked.

The tall and skinny guard said, “The teleportation formation only activates once a year at a fixed time. It’s only been two months since it was last activated.”

“If you want to activate the teleportation formation during this period of time, you’ll have to gather ten people!”

Su Zimo frowned.

Judging from the tall and skinny guard’s gaze, he should not be lying.

However, it was impossible to gather ten cultivators with a hundred Essence Spirit Stones within a short period of time.

In other words, he would have to wait for at least ten months before he could leave the Dragon Abyss Star!

Under normal circumstances, ten months would pass in the blink of an eye.

However, there was a high chance that Liu Tong knew about his whereabouts. The longer he lingered, the easier it would be for something to happen.

“Hand me the Essence Spirit Stones and come back in ten months,”

The tone of the tall and skinny guard turned increasingly impatient.

Su Zimo took out his storage bag and was about to hand it to the tall and skinny guard when he suddenly retracted it and asked with a fake smile, “If I give you the Essence Spirit Stones and you suddenly deny it ten months later…”

“Insolent!”

The expression of the tall and skinny guard changed and he revealed killing intent.

Indeed, he had that intention. Now that Su Zimo exposed it, he could not help but feel enraged and wanted to kill!

When Su Zimo saw the reaction of the tall and skinny guard, it confirmed his guess.

He put away his storage bag and said indifferently, “Since that’s the case, I’ll come again ten months later. At that time, I’ll hand over the Essence Spirit Stones with both hands.”

With that said, Su Zimo turned to leave, prepared to leave Dragon Abyss City and lie low for the time being.

“Don’t even think about leaving without my permission!”

The tall and skinny guard had a dark expression and strode forward murderously. Suddenly, he slapped Su Zimo on the head!

The tall and skinny guard did not hold back at all—he wanted to slap Su Zimo to death!

Su Zimo narrowed his eyes with killing intent as well.

The tall and skinny guard was only a Grade 7 Black Immortal.

He had a hundred ways to kill this person instantly!

However, if he killed this person, it would definitely cause a stir in the City Lord’s residence and Dragon Abyss City.

At that time, the City Lord’s residence would be even more guarded and it would be impossible for him to use the teleportation formation to leave.

At that thought, Su Zimo moved and avoided the palm of the tall and skinny guard with ease. He turned around with a cold gaze.

“As a guard of the City Lord’s residence, are you intending to rob me openly?”

Su Zimo said slowly.

The tall and skinny guard grit his teeth and sneered, “What can you do even if I rob you openly? You’re just a lowlife. It’s your honor that I’m willing to take your Essence Spirit Stones!”

Clang!

The tall and skinny guard pulled out a shiny saber and said coldly, “Since you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll send you to Hell today!”

With that said, the blood qi of the tall and skinny guard surged and he became one with his saber. Descending from the skies, he tore through the void and slashed down with a thunderous might!

Su Zimo’s expression darkened and his eyes shone coldly.

He was already prepared to leave this place immediately after killing this person and escape from Dragon Abyss City to hide before making further plans.

Given his current capabilities, even the City Lord of Dragon Abyss City would not be able to hold him back!
