“Who is that? His methods are so terrifying that even two experts who have the potential to be ranked on the Earth Ranking were suppressed by him!”
“I’m not sure. The ranking for the outer sect competition of the academy has long been spread. There doesn’t seem to be any Earth Immortal with the aura of a scholar.”
More and more cultivators gathered here. Some of them could recognize the other disciples of the academy but they had never seen Su Zimo before.
Ever since Su Zimo joined the academy, he had been in seclusion.
!!Cultivators who joined the academy were normally Grade 8 or 9 Earth Immortals and did not need to cultivate in seclusion.
Most of these outer sect disciples would accept the many missions assigned by the academy and train in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. While completing the missions, they would gradually make a name for themselves.
Someone suddenly said, “Don’t forget, at the Immortal Sect Selection a thousand years ago, the academy accepted a ruthless person!”
“You’re referring to that guy with the surname Su? The one who killed more than a hundred Execution Guards of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom?”
“That’s right, that’s him! His name is Su Zimo!”
The discussions in the crowd grew louder and louder.
“What happened?”
A few figures pushed through the crowd and barged in. Their expressions changed when they saw the injured Xue Yuan and the others.
“Uncle, you’re here!”
With a pained expression, Xue Yuan wiped away the blood at the corner of his lips.
The cultivation realms of the Xue Clan cultivators were all at the Heaven Essence realm. There were three Grade 8 Heaven Immortals and a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal!
Xue Yuan’s uncle, Xue Qian, was a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal and was quite famous in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain!
“Who did this?!”
Xue Qian hollered and followed Xue Yuan’s gaze. Turning around, he locked onto Su Zimo with a murderous expression!
But soon, his expression changed and the killing intent in his eyes lessened significantly.
He caught sight of the sect badge on Su Zimo’s waist.
It was the badge of Heaven and Earth Academy!
“A disciple of the academy?”
Xue Qian’s expression was terrible.
Su Zimo felt emotional when he sensed the change in Xue Qian.
After he joined the academy, he cultivated in seclusion.
After coming out of seclusion, he merely had a conflict and fought against two people in the outer sect. He had never left the academy nor roamed the world outside.
It was only at this moment that he experienced the power of Heaven and Earth Academy!
The killing intent of this Grade 9 Heaven Immortal from a major immortal Dao clan had already been condensed to its limits and could injure anyone at any moment.
However, when that person saw the academy’s badge on his waist, his expression clearly changed and he revealed a wary expression.
Ever since Su Zimo appeared to settle this matter, no one else from the academy interfered.
Even so, Xue Qian and the others did not dare to act rashly!
The fight between Xue Yuan and Dou Yuan could be considered as a spar between cultivators of the same cultivation realm—it was nothing much.
However, if Xue Qian attacked Su Zimo, he would be bullying someone beneath his level and Heaven and Earth Academy would definitely not tolerate it!
The terror of the academy was still reflected in the surrounding cultivators.
Su Zimo could clearly sense that everyone was looking at him with reverence, admiration and even awe.
This was an experience he had never experienced after ascending and escaping for thousands of years.
He came from the lower worlds. After he ascended, in the eyes of many cultivators, his status was inferior.
However, at that moment, it was as though there was a halo above his head.
A disciple of the academy!
In the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, no one dared to underestimate disciples of the academy.
“The disciples of the academy sure are impressive. They can attack people casually before the fight for the Earth Ranking even begins?”
Xue Qian looked at Su Zimo with a mocking tone.
“I wouldn’t dare to,”
Su Zimo said indifferently, “The academy can’t compare to the Xue Clan. You guys can snatch the items of others just because you fancy it. How domineering.”
Xue Qian frowned slightly and looked down at Xue Yuan who was sitting on the ground.
Xue Yuan felt guilty and did not dare to meet Xue Qian’s gaze.
Everyone had witnessed this and he did not dare to lie.
Xue Qian cursed internally. He knew that they were in the wrong and today’s matter would most likely be left unsettled.
“Why are so many people gathered here?!”
Right then, a dignified voice sounded from the distant skies.
Xue Qian’s eyes lit up.
In the capital of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, other than the guards of the capital or Perfected Immortal experts, other cultivators could not fly in the capital.
Given the commotion here, the capital guards must have arrived.
He was wary of the academy, but the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom was not.
The Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom was a behemoth that was comparable to Heaven and Earth Academy. Furthermore, this was the capital of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.
No matter how strong the disciples of the academy were, they had to abide by the rules of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom!
It was not convenient for him to attack, but he could make use of the power of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom to teach this academy disciple a lesson!
At that thought, Xue Qian turned around and looked at a group of capital guards speeding over from midair. He cupped his fists. “Greetings, commander. I’m Xue Qian of the Xue Clan.”
“Fellow Daoist Xue, I’ve heard a lot about you,”
When the capital commander saw that it was Xue Qian of the Xue Clan, his expression softened as he nodded slightly and cupped his fists in return.
Xue Qian pointed at Su Zimo and said in a deep voice, “Just because he’s a disciple of the academy, this person here fought in the capital and injured many of our Xue Clan members in succession.”
“I didn’t lay my hands on this person because this is the capital of the Immortal Kingdom and I don’t want to cause chaos in the capital. Please uphold justice for the Xue Clan, commander!”
The capital commander frowned slightly and turned to look at Su Zimo with a troubled expression.
If it was any ordinary cultivator, he would just capture them and imprison them for a few days to teach them a lesson.
However, this was a disciple of Heaven and Earth Academy…
“Commander Xin!”
Just as he was in a dilemma, a woman’s voice sounded from the crowd.
Instinctively, he looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in scarlet armor in the crowd come to Su Zimo’s side with a smile. “Long time no see, Commander Xin.”
“Greetings, Princess Scarlet Rainbow!”
Commander Xin was stunned and bowed hurriedly.
The many capital guards behind him bowed as well.
Xue Qian was stunned and had a bad feeling.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow waved her hand. “There’s nothing major here. It’s just that the young master of the Xue Clan snatched someone else’s belongings. My junior brother could not take it lying down and merely sparred with Young Master Xue in a friendly manner. It’s nothing serious.”
This was a friendly spar?
Commander Xin glanced at Xue Yuan who was slumped on the ground and muttered internally.
Young Master Xue was severely injured and would most likely not have a chance to take part in the fight for the Earth Ranking.
He had long heard that Princess Scarlet Rainbow had joined Heaven and Earth Academy.
Now that Princess Scarlet Rainbow had appeared, he retreated hurriedly.
“I see,”
Commander Xin nodded slightly and said, “Indeed, there will often be small conflicts in the capital. As long as it’s nothing serious, it’s nothing much.”
“That’s right,”
Princess Scarlet Rainbow said with a smile, “Commander Xin, patrol elsewhere. There’s nothing much here and we’ll disperse before long.”
“I’ll take my leave,”
Commander Xin cupped his fists once more and left with the capital guards behind him, disappearing before long.
Xue Qian was so angry that he nearly vomited blood.
“Farewell!”
Xue Qian’s face turned green and purple. Finally, he said those words and supported Xue Yuan, turning to leave with everyone from the Xue Clan, disappearing into the crowd.
