“Such a grand entrance?”

The many Black Immortals in the square were shocked and dumbfounded.

Those veiled women were as beautiful as fairies. Any one of them could be considered as a peerless beauty, let alone 3,000 of them!

What was even more frightening was that all 3,000 beauties were Earth Immortal experts.

That alone was something that the many Black Immortals in the square could not match.

Everyone realized that the young man who was surrounded by countless flowers must be Prince Yuan Zuo of Green Cloud County!

Indeed.

The young man stood up slowly and the 3,000 fairies knelt down with obedient expressions.

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue, the City Lords and sect masters stood up one after another and bowed, saying in unison, “Greetings, Prince Yuan Zuo!”

“That’s how a man should be!”

In the crowd, the burly man named Li Tian said softly with a burning gaze and clenched fists.

Su Zimo frowned slightly and noticed something strange.

From the looks of it, the status and power of Prince Yuan Zuo was clearly above the Green Cloud County Governor.

However, the cultivation realm of this Prince Yuan Zuo was not high and was only at the Earth Essence realm.

“Strange, Prince Yuan Zuo is only an Earth Immortal but he can make many Heaven Immortals and even Perfected Immortals like the Green Cloud County Governor bow down.”

A Black Immortal muttered.

“Humph!”

Another person sneered, “What do you know? Even if a prince or princess doesn’t have a high cultivation realm, they are royalty of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and are backed by the Great Jin Immortal King!”

“The governor of a county is at most a manager. How can he compare to the princes and princesses with the bloodline of the royal family?”

Su Zimo recalled what the City Lord of Dragon Abyss City, Xu Shi, said to him.

The Execution Guards were divided into two types, the Earth and the Heaven Guards. The Heaven Execution Guards could only be mobilized by the royal family—not even the County Governors were qualified to do so.

The scene before him confirmed Xu Shi’s words.

Even so, Su Zimo was still puzzled.

Even though the prince had a noble status because of his royal bloodline, the cultivation of Prince Yuan Zuo still seemed a little low.

With the bloodline of the royal family, the various cultivation resources were definitely endless and there were many treasures and cultivation techniques. The people they interacted with were also experts.

Although Prince Yuan Zuo was young, he was more than 40,000 years old. Under such circumstances, his cultivation to the Earth Essence realm did not seem fast.

Of course, that was not impossible to explain.

It was either that the talent of Prince Yuan Zuo was ordinary or he had taken the wrong path and was obsessed with beauty instead of cultivation.

Just as Su Zimo was pondering, Prince Yuan Zuo had already arrived in the hall.

“The final victors of this Hunting Meet will have a chance to follow me. As long as you’re absolutely loyal, I won’t mistreat you,”

Prince Yuan Zuo looked down at the hundred thousand Black Immortals in the square and said slowly.

The initially silent crowd became noisy once more.

Previously, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue had already said it once. Now that Prince Yuan Zuo declared it personally, no one doubted it anymore!

As a descendant of the royal family, there was no way Prince Yuan Zuo would renege on his words in front of everyone.

“I have to seize this opportunity!”

“To think that although he’s a noble of the royal family, he has no prejudice towards us who ascended from the lower worlds and even gave us such a chance.”

“That’s right. That alone is worth risking my life to follow him!”

The many Black Immortals present had experienced countless hardships, coldness and bullying in the upper world over the years.

Now that Prince Yuan Zuo had appeared, everyone was moved.

Furthermore, who wouldn’t be tempted by an opportunity to change their fates and escape their lowly statuses?

Of course, there were also a few Black Immortals who had calm expressions the entire time, as though they were unmoved.

One of them was Su Zimo.

The other was the purple-robed woman beside him.

Su Zimo was not surprised that the purple-robed woman was so calm. She cultivated the Dao of assassination. If not for her mental state, she would have died countless times.

The reason why Su Zimo remained calm was because he felt that something was amiss.

What sort of status did Prince Yuan Zuo have?

Although he was an Earth Immortal, he could mobilize the Heaven Execution Guards at will and even the Green Cloud County Governor had to obey him!

Why would such a powerful person choose a hundred Black Immortals to serve him?

That did not make sense.

Another strange thing was that the Black Immortals who participated in the Hunting Meet were all people who had ascended from the lower worlds.

Could it be as others had said, that this was a fair chance for everyone from the lower worlds to change their fates?

After saying that, Prince Yuan Zuo had already arrived at the main seat and sat down.

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue walked forward and declared, “Once the Hunting Meet begins, a Hunting Ranking will appear in the Ten Extreme Hell. It will only display the top hundred and the ranking will be based on the number of people you hunt.”

“Those who survive and are ranked on the Hunting Ranking will be the final victors and can leave the Ten Extreme Hell.”

When they heard that, most of the cultivators in the square did not seem surprised, as though they were already familiar with the rules of the Hunting Meet.

However, Su Zimo was secretly alarmed and felt a chill run down his spine!

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue did not mention the word ‘kill’ in his words earlier on. However, if one thought about it carefully, they could sense the bloodthirst behind it—it was cruel and sinister!

By hunting, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue meant killing.

In other words, the so-called Hunting Ranking was actually a Killing Ranking!

What was even more frightening were the rules of the Hunting Meet.

The Hunting Ranking only displayed the top hundred. In other words, one would have to kill endlessly if they wanted to make it onto the ranking.

If one were to stop, there was a chance that they would be surpassed and squeezed out of the Hunting Ranking.

Once one entered the Ten Extreme Hell, they would have no choice. Even if they wanted to stay out of things and not fight, someone would find and kill them!

One could imagine that at the end of the Hunting Meet, less than ten percent of the hundred thousand Black Immortals would survive.

This was not a Hunting Meet, but a killing feast organized by these Exalted Immortals, City Lords, important figures and titans!

Su Zimo looked up at the Exalted Immortals in the hall.

When Perfected Immortal Jing Yue said that, his tone was cold and he did not take the lives of the hundred thousand Black Immortals seriously at all.

The other City Lords and sect masters chatted softly with relaxed expressions.

The Hunting Meet had been held countless times and they were long used to this scene.

Su Zimo lowered his head slightly with a cold gaze.

The more he understood about the upper world, the more he could sense that feeling of helplessness.

Both Die Yue and the Human Emperor had told him similar things—the upper world was much more dangerous and cruel than the lower worlds!

The danger and cruelty did not only come from the fights between immortal kingdoms, sects, races and living beings. More than that, it came from the contempt and disdain of the living beings of the upper world towards the living beings of the lower worlds.

The living beings of the upper world sealed most of the cultivation resources and even ordinary cultivation elixirs like the Essence Condensation Pill could not be refined casually.

In such an environment, even if the living beings of the lower worlds had unparalleled endowments and extraordinary talent, it was almost impossible for them to surpass these Exalted Immortals and replace them.

This was the cruelty of the upper world and the fate of the living beings of the lower worlds.
