ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 8 - Season 22 Episode 38

Prince Yuan Zuo was smart.

He knew very well that there was no way Meng Yao would bother to deal with Su Zimo because of him.

Furthermore, doing that might cause a feud with the four immortal sects.

However, if he linked Su Zimo with the two of them, even if it was only a possibility, it would be enough to attract Meng Yao’s attention!

Prince Yuan Zuo wanted to make use of Meng Yao to deal with the four immortal sects and Su Zimo!

In reality, as he had expected, Meng Yao had indeed placed her attention on Su Zimo at the mention of this.

When Prince Yuan Zuo saw that, he seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. “I led more than a hundred Execution Guards to suppress this person and bring him back to the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. However, this person was way too arrogant and openly declared war on the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom in front of everyone during the Immortal Sect Selection, killing all the Execution Guards!”

“Right now, these people from the four immortal sects are trying their best to recruit him and did not stop even when Jing Yue appeared! They must truly think that our Great Jin Immortal Kingdom is weak to look down on and humiliate us as such!”

Prince Yuan Zuo’s tone was agitated and he looked sorrowful, as though he had suffered immense grievances.

To begin with, Meng Yao exuded an aloof aura that prevented strangers from approaching.

When she heard that, her cold expression and beautiful eyes were even filled with a chilling intent!

Heaven Immortal White Sea was sweating profusely when he heard that. He stood out hurriedly and said, “Your Highness, you have to make things clear. I represented Flying Immortal Sect and withdrew a long time ago. On account of my senior sister here, there was no way I would have ever become enemies with you or the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.”

“Yes,”

Prince Yuan Zuo said, “Fellow Daoist White Sea withdrew indeed, but the other three of them were insistent! They were even willing to fight me to protect this sinner!”

Prince Yuan Zuo continued to add fuel to the fire.

Heaven Immortal Green Peak cursed internally but he still forced a smile. “Fairy Meng Yao, please calm down. I’ll withdraw on behalf of Imperial Wind Temple and no longer recruit this person.”

He had not expected Zither Immortal Meng Yao to suddenly appear here.

Although they were both Perfected Immortals, Zither Immortal Meng Yao’s reputation and combat strength were much greater than Perfected Immortal Jing Yue!

Even some Immortal Kings had to treat the Zither Immortal with respect when they saw her.

Now that the Zither Immortal was here, even if Su Zimo was someone like Yun Ting, Imperial Wind Temple would not dare to accept him, let alone the fact that he was a mere monster incarnate with immense potential.

If the legacy disciples of Imperial Wind Temple knew that he had offended Zither Immortal Meng Yao because of a Grade 6 Earth Immortal, they would probably skin him alive.

Meng Yao shifted her gaze towards Heaven Abyss and Yang Ruoxu and asked indifferently, “Why? You guys still want to protect this person?”

Meng Yao’s tone was calm and emotionless. However, it contained an unimaginable pressure!

She was the Zither Immortal.

She was not only a Perfected Immortal—she was backed by a deep network of major factions and many top experts.

It was no exaggeration to say that even if an Immortal King offended the Zither Immortal, he might be killed by other Immortal Kings!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Instantly, countless gazes landed on Heaven Abyss and Yang Ruoxu.

At that moment, both of them were under immense pressure.

That pressure was not something a Heaven Immortal could endure.

In other words, even if most of the Perfected Immortals of Mountain Sea Immortal Sect and Heaven and Earth Academy were to arrive, they would not be able to withstand the same pressure as well!

Time passed; even a few breaths seemed like a hundred years.

“Since Fairy Meng Yao is here…”

Heaven Abyss finally spoke and said slowly, “On behalf of Mountain Sea Immortal Sect, I’ll withdraw from the competition and no longer recruit this person.”

When he heard that, a look of disappointment flashed through Su Zimo’s eyes.

Of course, there was no resentment in his heart.

He could sense Heaven Abyss’s helplessness.

He was merely disappointed.

He was disappointed in Heaven Abyss and Mountain Sea Immortal Sect.

Many cultivators were filled with emotions when they saw that.

This was the might of the Zither Immortal!

After descending, she did not say much or gave any threats, much less attack. Even so, three Heaven Immortals had to lower their heads to retreat to avoid her sharpness!

If nothing went wrong, Yang Ruoxu would relent as well.

Now that he was the only one left among the four Heaven Immortals, the pressure on him would increase a hundredfold. His reputation and combat strength were far inferior to Heaven Abyss and the others—it was impossible for him to withstand it.

Yang Ruoxu stood on the spot and lowered his head slightly. There were no emotions on his bronze face as he remained silent.

“Zither Immortal, fufu… how impressive,”

Suddenly, a woman’s voice sounded in midair with a hint of mockery.

The crowd was astonished!

Someone dared to speak to the Zither Immortal in such a tone!

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue’s expression changed as he said hurriedly, “Princess, I tried to step in earlier on to suppress Su Zimo. This was the person who attacked in secret and saved him.”

“I’m ashamed to say that I could not locate her. Please take charge, princess.”

Meng Yao was not angered when she heard that voice. After pondering for a moment, she turned to look at a carriage in the crowd of Coiling Dragon Mountain Range and asked with a frown, “It’s you?”

She was extremely surprised when she recognized the person.

This person truly should not have appeared here.

“That’s right,”

The voice of the plain-robed woman sounded from within the carriage.

The cultivators around the carriage were scared out of their wits and avoided the carriage one after another, afraid that they would be implicated.

This carriage was way too ordinary.

It was so ordinary that it would not attract anyone’s attention in the crowd.

However, the carriage was covered by the curtains and outsiders could not see what was going on inside. Even their spirit consciousnesses could not scan inside.

Only Prince Yun Lei, who was not far away frowned with a confused expression.

Although the voice sounded familiar, it was impossible.

His sister cultivated silently in the library all year round and rarely saw anyone. Even he would not be able to request an audience with her—why would she suddenly appear here?

“So, you’re hiding here!”

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue’s gaze intensified as he glared at the carriage and said coldly, “How dare you hide? Let me see who you are!”

With that said, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue advanced and was ready to attack.

However, Meng Yao waved her sleeves and released a tremendous power, forcing Perfected Immortal Jing Yue back.

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue was stunned for a moment and was about to ask.

Meng Yao said indifferently, “You’re not her match. Don’t embarrass yourself.”

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue’s face flushed red instantly. He took deep breaths repeatedly before calming down and smiling bitterly. “Indeed, I had behaved recklessly.”

However, the other cultivators were shocked and were even more curious about the woman in the carriage.

“Why? You know this Grade 6 Earth Immortal?”

Meng Yao glared at the carriage and asked.

“No,”

Within the carriage, the plain-robed woman replied.

The girl at the side shook her head repeatedly with an anxious expression, reminding the plain-robed woman not to be reckless.

Meng Yao smiled and asked again, “You want to interfere even if you don’t know him?”

“I just can’t stand the way the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom bullies others so I want to interfere.”

The plain-robed woman’s tone was indifferent and she did not give in at all!

“Fufu, interesting.”

Meng Yao smiled like a snow lotus blossoming with a hint of coldness in her beauty.

She said slowly, “This person killed more than a hundred Execution Guards of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. His crimes are unforgivable and he deserves to die. You don’t know him yet you want to stand up for him?”

“You want to offend the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect at the same time because of someone unrelated?”

Meng Yao’s tone intensified and even her aura turned murderous.

This was a sign that she was prepared to fight at any moment!
