Eternal Sacred King

2137 Sound of the Strings

Within the carriage.

The girl covered her mouth and stifled her laughter, sending a voice transmission with her spirit consciousness, “Princess, well scolded! That person is way too shameless. He’s clearly a Perfected Immortal expert but he wants to attack an Earth Immortal.”

Because the girl was closer to Prince Yun Ting, she was displeased with Su Zimo. However, she despised Perfected Immortal Jing Yue’s actions even more.

The plain-robed woman smiled indifferently.

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue surveyed his surroundings and sneered with a mocking expression. “Sir, aren’t you being too shameless by hiding?!”

“How shameless to bully the weak!”

The voice sounded once more erratically and everyone present was shocked—no one could discover the location of the person who spoke!

However, this time round, everyone heard it clearly—it was a woman.

Su Zimo recalled carefully—he had never heard that voice before.

He should not know this person.

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue was secretly frustrated and said in a deep voice, “Since you want to be a busybody, why don’t you show yourself? Let me see who you are as well!”

“You can’t even find me and you think you’re worthy of me appearing?”

The woman’s tone was indifferent with a hint of disdain.

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue fell silent with a terrible expression.

“What are you thinking about? Why aren’t you attacking yet?”

Prince Yuan Zuo was still concerned about Su Zimo and wanted Perfected Immortal Jing Yue to attack once more to capture Su Zimo alive.

“Your Highness, there’s an expert here,”

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue said bitterly, “Even if I attack with my full strength, I’m probably not a match for this person. We might have to return fruitless today.”

Actually, there was something that Perfected Immortal Jing Yue did not say.

In fact, he suspected that the person who attacked earlier on was the Chess Immortal of Mountain Sea Immortal Sect!

Although the four great fairies had different personalities, none of them were easy to deal with.

More than 2,000 years ago, he had suffered a loss against one of them.

Back then, an Ice Butterfly appeared outside Glass City beneath Green Cloud County. He chased after it and severely injured it.

Unexpectedly, the Ice Butterfly escaped with serious injuries and attracted Perfected Immortals of many factions to descend and fight for it. In the end, the Ice Butterfly was saved by one of the four great fairies, the Painting Immortal.

At that time, they were in the territory of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom after all.

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue was unwilling to let the Painting Immortal take the Ice Butterfly away. Therefore, he fought the latter and suffered a crushing defeat.

It was said that the Painting Immortal of the four great fairies had a calm personality and did not like to fight. She was the weakest among the four great fairies.

Even so, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue was not her match.

If the belligerent Chess Immortal had truly descended, he would have even less chance of winning.

“We have to leave just like this?”

Prince Yuan Zuo’s eyes were filled with deep indignation.

Although Su Zimo was not far away, he was helpless.

He even invited a Perfected Immortal out of seclusion but to no avail!

Heaven Abyss and Yang Ruoxu heaved a sigh of relief.

Heaven Abyss was in Mountain Sea Immortal Sect with the Chess Immortal and he knew more about the latter.

He knew in his heart that the person who attacked earlier on could not have been the Chess Immortal.

Given the domineering nature of the Chess Immortal, she would definitely not be secretive if she descended here and wanted to severely injure Perfected Immortal Jing Yue!

However, no matter what, the person who attacked was helping them in secret.

Heaven Abyss looked at Su Zimo and said hurriedly, “Hurry and tell us. Between our Mountain Sea Immortal Sect and Heaven and Earth Academy, who do you choose?”

“Imperial Wind Temple as well!”

At that moment, Heaven Immortal Green Peak jumped out in time when he saw that Perfected Immortal Jing Yue was disadvantaged.

If the three immortal sects wanted him at the same time, it would depend on Su Zimo’s final choice.

“I choose…”

Su Zimo had just said two words when a zither sound sounded in midair.

The sound of the strings rustled and possessed a strange power, as though it was strumming the heartstrings of many cultivators. Su Zimo could not say anything else!

Even the massive Coiling Dragon Mountain Range turned silent against the sound of the zither.

Immediately after, a figure walked over from the distant skies.

Initially, it was far away. Before the sound of the zither dissipated completely, the figure had already arrived.

It was a tall woman in plain blue palace robes. She was beautiful and flawless with an extraordinary aura. She had a cold expression and surveyed her surroundings, as though she was searching for someone.

Cultivators who met the woman’s gaze would either avert their gazes instinctively or lower their heads slightly.

It was as though taking another look at this woman was a blasphemy to her!

Zither Immortal Meng Yao!

Only Zither Immortal Meng Yao could silence millions of cultivators in Coiling Dragon Mountain Range and have them behave respectfully with a single sound of the zither strings.

“Princess, it’s her…”

The girl said softly.

The plain-robed woman frowned slightly and raised her hand to stop the girl from speaking. She looked at the figure in midair through the curtain of the carriage.

“Greetings, Princess Meng Yao.”

When Perfected Immortal Jing Yue saw the woman in palace robes, he was delighted and hurried forward to bow.

At the same time, he gave Prince Yuan Zuo a look.

Prince Yuan Zuo was way too smart and reacted instantly. He ran over as well with reddened eyes and said tragically, “Sister Meng Yao, you’re finally here!”

Actually, Prince Yuan Zuo did not know that Zither Immortal Meng Yao would descend here.

Even with his status, there was no way he could request Meng Yao to do anything.

However, when he said that, it gave others the feeling that he was the reason why Zither Immortal Meng Yao came.

“That’s the Zither Immortal!”

“She’s truly beautiful.”

“To think that the four great fairies’ Zither Immortal would be alerted to this Immortal Sect Selection. This trip was truly worth it!”

The crowd below still did not dare to speak loudly as they whispered, as though they were afraid of disturbing the beauty.

“Greetings, Fairy Meng Yao,”

Heaven Abyss, Yang Ruoxu and Heaven Immortal Green Peak stood up and bowed.

“Greetings, Senior Sister Meng Yao,”

Heaven Immortal White Sea put away his folding fan as well and reverently put away his playful expression.

Meng Yao merely nodded slightly and asked, “Have you guys seen two people, a man and a woman, using Dharmic treasures in the form of a flute and zither as their weapons.”

“Never,”

The four Heaven Immortals exchanged glances and shook their heads.

Su Zimo remained silent.

He knew that Zither Immortal Meng Yao had descended here to hunt down Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo.

However, the two of them did not participate in the Immortal Sect Selection at all.

Meng Yao was slightly disappointed when she did not see Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo. In a flash, she turned to leave.

“Sister Meng Yao!”

Right then, Prince Yuan Zuo suddenly shouted.

Meng Yao frowned slightly in impatience.

When she saw that Prince Yuan Zuo’s eyes were red as though he had suffered quite a bit and thought about how they shared the same father after all, she paused in her tracks and asked coldly, “What’s wrong?”

“Sister Meng Yao, there’s someone here who might know where the two of them are!”

Prince Yuan Zuo suddenly said.

Meng Yao’s heart skipped a beat as she focused her gaze and asked in a deep voice, “Who is it?”

“Him!”

Prince Yuan Zuo pointed at Su Zimo in the crowd and said sternly, “A few months ago, he was the one who killed the 13 Execution Guards outside Cangyu City!”

“Mmm?”

Meng Yao followed Prince Yuan Zuo’s finger and looked over.

The 13 Execution Guards were under her orders to hunt down Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo.

If they were truly killed by an outsider, there was indeed a chance that this person knew the location of Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo!

Even if he did not know, this person was definitely related to Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo!
