Chapter 1936: Manipulating Fate

Translator: Legge 

City Lord’s residence.

“The cave earlier on seemed to have trembled?”

Perfected Immortal Jing Yue frowned slightly, unsure.

The tremble earlier on was triggered by Su Zimo’s Dragon Roar secret skill.

Although the Exalted Immortals of the City Lord’s residence could see the situation in the Ten Absolute Hell through the Mirage Eye, they could not hear anything inside.

It was even more impossible for Perfected Immortal Jing Yue to know that the two people in the cave had already fought with an outcome in that short period of time!

Prince Yuan Zuo waved it off and said disinterestedly, “You keep watch first and let me know if anything happens, I’ll check out the others.”

He could not see what was going on in the cave and was naturally bored staring at the entrance.

…

Ten Absolute Hell.

Su Zimo gripped the dark daggers with both hands and held them against Tang Ziyi’s neck without removing them.

He knew very well what this female assassin was capable of.

If he relaxed slightly, he might be counterattacked by this woman!

“Why did you come looking for me?”

Su Zimo asked.

Tang Ziyi was expressionless and remained silent.

Suddenly, Su Zimo smiled.

From the looks of it, the female assassin had no intention of speaking.

Even with her daggers hanging by her neck, the woman was not afraid at all and did not even look at him.

“How about this?”

Su Zimo said deeply, “Let’s make a deal. I can let you go, but you have to answer my questions.”

Seemingly moved, Tang Ziyi glanced at Su Zimo but remained silent.

Su Zimo smiled. “Of course, if it involves any secrets that are inconvenient for you to speak about, you can choose not to.”

“Also, if I promise to let you off, I won’t go back on my words.”

With that said, Su Zimo put away the dark daggers and retreated a few steps to show his sincerity.

This time round, Tang Ziyi was surprised once more.

However, her expression was still extremely calm and no one could read her thoughts.

The reason why she noticed Su Zimo was because she could not read him.

This was a variable for her.

She had another motive for coming this time round. Therefore, she did not want this variable to affect her plans.

Secondly, she had been following him the entire time and was increasingly curious about him.

Apart from her, all the Black Immortals who entered the Ten Absolute Hell had the same goal—to kill as many as possible and squeeze into the Hunting Ranking.

However, this person roamed around the entire day without killing a single person.

The strangest thing was that this person seemed to be avoiding others intentionally. In fact, he could even sense danger beforehand and avoid the habitat of some Earth Demons.

If it was outside, Tang Ziyi would have had sufficient patience to stay behind Su Zimo the entire time, even if it was for a year or ten years…

In the past, in order to assassinate an Earth Immortal, she had once waited patiently for hundreds of years to ensure that nothing went wrong!

A single attack!

Without such a temperament, she would not have grown to her current state.

However, she did not have that much time in the Ten Absolute Hell to observe this person’s habits, cultivation, combat strength and methods…

She had something more important.

The simplest way was to kill this variable.

That was the reason for the clash in the cave earlier on.

However, Tang Ziyi’s attack this time round also dealt a huge blow to herself.

Up till this point of her cultivation, she had never tasted defeat among her peers.

Even if she were to fight head-on, no one was her match.

If she used many assassination methods and secret skills, she could even kill Earth Immortals across major cultivation realms!

However, this time round, an unassuming and frail scholar managed to restrain her within a few breaths in the Ten Absolute Hell.

Who was this person?

What was the movement technique that this person had used previously that was close to teleportation?

Why was the sound domain secret skill released by this person so similar to the dragon roar? How could it release such a terrifying might and will?

What sort of physique and bloodline did this person have such that even she was suppressed?

Actually, Tang Ziyi had even more questions but she did not reveal it.

At that moment, she was tempted when she heard Su Zimo’s suggestion.

However, her expression was still calm. “I want to ask you some questions as well. Of course, you can choose not to say anything if it involves secrets.”

“Alright,”

Su Zimo nodded in agreement.

“Why did you enter the Ten Absolute Hell but not fight?”

Tang Ziyi asked before Su Zimo could.

In her opinion, given Su Zimo’s capabilities, it would not be difficult for him to enter the top ten of the Hunting Ranking.

“We’re all people who ascended from the lower worlds and have never met before. We don’t have any deep feud so I’m unwilling to attack,”

Su Zimo paused for a moment. “Furthermore, it wasn’t my intention to enter the Ten Absolute Hell. I was chosen and brought here.”

Tang Ziyi shook her head. “Everyone has no choice after entering the Ten Absolute Hell. It’s impossible for you to stay out of it.”

“Perhaps,”

Su Zimo replied indifferently, “However, I’m not willing to be manipulated by others.”

Back then, when he entered the cultivation world, it was to alter his fate.

Later on, because of Su Hong’s death, the citizens of the Country of Yan were destitute and homeless. He even made a vow to change the fates of the masses!

He had to control his own fate and would definitely not let others manipulate, control or even toy with it!

Ever since Su Zimo entered the Ten Absolute Hell, he had been looking for an opportunity to break free from the invisible shackles on his body.

Although he seemed like he was scurrying around, his true goal was to check out the environment, terrain and even the secrets within this prison!

Both Absolute Thunder City and the Ten Absolute Hell were quite odd—there was a high chance there were secrets hidden within them.

“Not willing to be manipulated by others,”

Tang Ziyi murmured softly and looked at Su Zimo deeply.

Over the years, countless Black Immortals of the lower worlds had entered the Ten Absolute Hell but no one could say that.

Perhaps some people resisted or were indignant, but in the end, nothing was left behind.

Tang Ziyi said, “Even if you’re unwilling, it’s useless. If you want to leave the Ten Absolute Hell alive, you can only kill your way into the Hunting Ranking. There’s no other way.”

Suddenly, Su Zimo asked, “What happens to cultivators who survive till the end but don’t enter the Hunting Ranking?”

“Death,”

Tang Ziyi said, “There are many Earth Demons in the Ten Absolute Hell. Because this place is isolated from Essence Qi and there’s no way to cultivate, these Earth Demons usually sleep.”

“But now, the arrival of a hundred thousand Black Immortals has already alarmed these Earth Demons.”

“After all the Earth Demons in the Ten Absolute Hell awaken, none of the Black Immortals that remain here will survive.”

Su Zimo’s expression was as cold as ever.

Without asking, he could guess that the Earth Demons were definitely left behind by the Exalted Immortals outside!

Not only did they want the hundred thousand Black Immortals to kill one another, they even wanted these Black Immortals to face the danger of being hunted and devoured by Earth Demons at any moment!

“What’s up with that eye in the firmaments?”

Su Zimo asked again.

“That’s the Mirage Eye,”

Tang Ziyi said, “In the City Lord’s residence outside, there will be a Mirage Mirror at this moment. Through the Mirage Eye, the situation in the Ten Absolute Hell will be revealed for the City Lords and Exalted Immortals to watch and be entertained.”

Those were not secrets and Tang Ziyi naturally did not hide them and told the truth.
