ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 7 - Season 22 Episode 19

When they heard that, Yang Ruoxu and the other three frowned.

Given their cultivation and intelligence, the four of them could naturally tell Prince Yuan Zuo’s intentions.

Prince Yuan Zuo intended to send the Execution Guards behind him to take part in the Immortal Sect Selection.

That way, the hundred-odd Earth Execution Guards could enter the valley legitimately and hunt down Su Zimo!

All four of them wanted to recruit Su Zimo into the sect. In the depths of their hearts, they naturally did not want Su Zimo to be surrounded by more than a hundred Earth Execution Guards and die in the valley. They did not want him to fall into the hands of Prince Yuan Zuo either.

At that thought, the four of them fell silent.

Prince Yuan Zuo sneered internally and asked coldly, “Why? Fellow Daoists, are you guys showing favoritism? So, Su Zimo can take part in it midway but not others?”

This time round, the four Heaven Immortals did not refute.

Prince Yuan Zuo was indeed in the right in this matter and the four of them had nothing to say.

“That’s right. Why can Su Zimo enter while others can’t?”

“That’s not fair!”

“The four immortal sects have to treat everyone equally and not be biased!”

In the crowd of Coiling Dragon Mountain Range, many cultivators were jeering, afraid that the matter would not be serious enough.

Yang Ruoxu sighed internally. “Others can naturally take part in the Immortal Sect Selection as well. However, that lad did not bring a Coiling Dragon Badge with him before he entered the valley.”

“No problem,”

Prince Yuan Zuo said immediately, “There’s no need for the 112 Earth Execution Guards behind me to carry Coiling Dragon Badges into the valley either!”

The Coiling Dragon Badge had two purposes—to protect one’s life and to fight for a chance to join the four immortal sects.

However, the Earth Execution Guards only had a single goal for entering the valley—to hunt down Su Zimo!

They were all top-tier Earth Immortal experts and were naturally not in any danger against a Grade 6 Earth Immortal, let alone having to protect their lives.

Since things had come to this, the four Heaven Immortals could only agree given the circumstances.

Otherwise, if word of this were to spread, it would mean that the Immortal Sect Selection was unfair and it would affect the reputation of the four immortal sects!

Heaven Immortal Green Peak asked, “How many people are you prepared to send into the valley, prince?”

“Of course it’s all the Earth Execution Guards I brought today!”

Prince Yuan Zuo said slowly with a sinister tone.

A full 112 Earth Execution Guards into the valley.

This time round, Prince Yuan Zuo would not allow any accidents to happen!

The four Heaven Immortals were silent.

Those who could become Earth Execution Guards were all top Earth Immortal experts.

Even a few of such Earth Immortals might be more than what Su Zimo could handle.

If he made use of his movement technique, he might have a chance of survival.

However, if all 112 Earth Execution Guards were sent in, it would be easy for them to form an encirclement given their chemistry.

At that time, Su Zimo would not even have the chance to escape!

Prince Yuan Zuo was clearly bent on killing him.

Suddenly, Heaven Abyss spoke, “If more than a hundred Earth Execution Guards enter the valley now, it will definitely affect the final outcome of the Immortal Sect Selection and disrupt the balance. This is inappropriate.”

Heaven Abyss’s words were not without reason.

The hundred-odd Execution Guards obeyed Prince Yuan Zuo’s orders. If they entered the valley and joined forces, who could go against them?

“Fellow Daoists, don’t worry. Apart from Su Zimo, these Earth Execution Guards won’t attack anyone else after entering the valley!”

Prince Yuan Zuo seemed to have expected that someone would raise this point. He smiled gently and said calmly, “As long as we capture Su Zimo, these people will be on standby on the spot and wait for the Immortal Sect Selection to end. They won’t do anything unnecessary.”

“What Fellow Daoist Heavenly Abyss is worried about will definitely not happen.”

This time round, the four Heaven Immortals could not think of any reason to reject.

“Prince Yuan Zuo, please,”

Heaven Immortal White Sea nodded slightly, indicating for Prince Yuan Zuo to give the order.

“Thank you, everyone,”

Prince Yuan Zuo smiled and cupped his fists in thanks. Thereafter, he turned around and looked at the hundred-odd Earth Execution Guards behind him. The smile on his face had already vanished.

“Earth Execution Guards, heed my orders!”

Prince Yuan Zuo hollered softly.

“Yes!”

The 112 Earth Execution Guards echoed at the same time like thunder.

However, no matter what happened outside, the cultivators participating in the Immortal Sect Selection in the valley could not sense it at all.

The water barrier was not only used as a mirror image, but also to isolate sound and vision.

Prince Yuan Zuo said in a deep voice, “Enter the valley and split into ten teams with 11 people each. The remaining two people will form a team to search for Su Zimo.”

“After seeing Su Zimo, don’t hesitate. Send out a messenger badge and summon the others to gather for an encirclement at the location.”

“This person’s movement technique is extremely fast. We can’t let him escape this time round!”

“Understood!”

Many Execution Guards shouted.

Prince Yuan Zuo froze again. “Remember, I want to capture him alive!”

The Coiling Dragon Valley beneath was like a cage. In his eyes, Su Zimo was a bird in the cage that could not escape even if he had wings!

He hated Su Zimo to the core and would definitely not let the latter die so easily.

He wanted to torture Su Zimo day and night after capturing him alive.

Furthermore, he had to interrogate Su Zimo about many things, such as the jade talisman, Myriad Transformations and the divine powers and secret skills of the golden wings!

“Fellow Daoist, may I trouble you to send the people I brought into the valley?”

After Prince Yuan Zuo relayed the order, he said to Heaven Immortal White Sea and the others in a deep voice.

Yang Ruoxu hesitated for a moment before waving his sleeves to send the 112 Execution Guards into the valley.

However, he intentionally placed the Execution Guards in a landing spot furthest away from Su Zimo’s location.

Even if both parties encountered one another, it might take some time.

Actually, Yang Ruoxu and the others knew that given the capabilities of the Execution Guards, it was way too easy for them to locate Su Zimo in this sealed valley.

Such an arrangement would merely delay things slightly.

The 112 Execution Guards entered the valley and split into ten teams the moment they landed.

Most of the teams were Grade 9 Earth Immortals and their leaders were commanders of the Earth Execution Guards.

The remaining two Earth Execution Guards were both Grade 8 Earth Immortals.

“Li Xuan, Zheng Mao, you two form a team,”

An Execution Guard commander said in a deep voice, “Don’t be in a hurry to attack after meeting Su Zimo. Release the messenger order first!”

“Understood!”

The two of them cupped their fists.

“Disperse, search for the target!”

The Execution Guard commander hollered softly.

The 112 Earth Execution Guards split into different teams and dispersed rapidly in the directions before them, disappearing within the forest.

When he saw that, Prince Yuan Zuo smirked and clenched his fists with a faint smile. “The show is about to begin!”

The crowd on Coiling Dragon Mountain Range was excited once more.

The four Heaven Immortals exchanged glances in silence.

No matter how much the four of them valued Su Zimo or admired his talent, they could not interfere in the Immortal Sect Selection.

That was a serious crime that no one could afford!

In other words, Su Zimo could not avoid this calamity.
