Eternal Sacred King

2441 Karmic Cycle

“It was Su Zimo.”

Lin Luo said.

When they heard that name, Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Long exchanged strange glances.

Naturally, the two of them knew who Su Zimo was. However, they had not expected that he would be involved.

Lin Luo recounted everything that happened in the secret ground of the Three Pure Ones Jade Manual in detail.

Lin Luo said, “If not for Su Zimo’s help, I wouldn’t have been able to get my hands on the Nine Revolutions Yang Reversion Pill. He was the one who gave me this Saraca Fruit directly.”

Fairy Ling Long said, “To think that this child has already joined Heaven and Earth Academy and his cultivation realm is decent. Not only that, he even possessed a treasure like the Saraca Fruit.”

“That’s right.”

Lin Zhan looked satisfied as well. “Seems like he’s already established himself in the upper world.”

“Hmph!”

Lin Lei harrumphed softly and mumbled, “I think that person is very ordinary. There’s an 80% chance that he has other motives for helping Lin Luo.”

Lin Zhan swept his gaze across. “If you want to say something, say it openly. What’s the point of beating around the bush!”

Lin Lei said, “Ask Lin Luo yourself what her relationship with that lad is. In any case, I don’t think that person is worthy of my sister!”

Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Long could tell what Lin Lei was implying and looked at Lin Luo at the same time.

Could their daughter and Su Zimo truly be…

Lin Luo looked at Lin Lei in confusion and asked, “Brother, what are you talking about? I met Fellow Daoist Su by chance and he helped me before. What else is there between us?”

“D-Didn’t you say that he’s your Dao companion?”

Lin Lei replied hurriedly.

Lin Luo rolled her eyes with a helpless expression. “At that time, Song Xuan was trying to force me to marry his younger brother. It was just a casual remark. My stupid brother, did you take it for real?”

Lin Lei’s face flushed red from the rebuttal as he coughed gently. “You’re doing the right thing by not being interested in him, but there’s definitely something wrong with the way that lad looks at you…”

The moment Fairy Ling Long heard that, she knew that there was a misunderstanding.

But soon, she frowned slightly and suddenly asked, “Luo’er, you said that Song Xuan forced you to get married. What happened?”

At the mention of that, Lin Lei and Lin Luo exchanged glances.

The image of the purple-robed man with the silver mask standing above Langfeng City with torrential fiend flames appeared in their minds at the same time!

A look of fear flashed through both their eyes.

Taking a deep breath of air, Lin Luo described what happened in Langfeng City after she left the Jade Pure Jade Manual with Su Zimo.

When Fairy Ling Long heard that the two of them were placed under house arrest, she deduced that the other party’s motive was definitely for the Lin family and the Battle Kingdom!

Since that was the case, the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain must have definitely planned carefully to ensure that nothing went wrong—how could they let the two children return?

Lin Luo continued. When she mentioned that Lin Lei was ambushed by Song Xuan and struck by the Jade Shattering Palm, Fairy Ling Long had a grim expression.

That was probably the worst outcome that she had divined.

Logically speaking, there was no way the two of them could escape from Langfeng City. However, there seemed to be a variable later on.

At that point, Lin Luo suddenly paused and looked at Lin Lei who was not far away.

Lin Lei took a deep breath of air. “At that moment, an outsider arrived and changed the entire situation! This person came from the Fiend Domain and is a powerful fiend that has risen in recent years. He’s the Sect Master of Tianhuang Sect, Desolate Martial!”

“Mmm?”

When they heard that, Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Long exclaimed softly with strange expressions.

Lin Zhan had once descended to the lower worlds and naturally knew about Desolate Martial establishing a Dao and imparting martial arts to all living beings.

He also knew that Desolate Martial was Su Zimo’s Dao title.

Fairy Ling Long knew everything as well.

When Lin Lei saw the strange expressions on Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Long’s faces, he asked instinctively, “Father, mother, have you guys heard of this person as well? He established Tianhuang Sect. Is it related to the Tianhuang Mainland that you guys came from?”

“Yes…”

Fairy Ling Long replied ambiguously, “Continue first.”

Lin Lei recounted how Desolate Martial attacked and fought against the five City Lords and thousands of Perfected Immortal experts.

Lin Lei said, “It’s strange. Desolate Martial was violent and cold. However, each time he attacked, he seemed to be avoiding me and Lin Luo intentionally…”

Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Ling Long exchanged glances.

The two of them thought to themselves, Desolate Martial is Su Zimo. Since he knew your identities, how could he possibly hurt the two of you?

Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Ling Long realized that Desolate Martial’s identity seemed to be a secret in the upper world.

According to Lin Lei’s description, Su Zimo had no connection to Desolate Martial and the two of them did not expose the matter as well.

“To think that Desolate Martial would grow to such an extent.”

Fairy Ling Long lamented.

Lin Zhan nodded as well, feeling a little emotional.

Back then, Lin Zhan descended to the lower worlds and saved the human race. At the same time, Fairy Ling Long saved Su Zimo during his ascension.

At that time, neither of them expected that the benevolent karma they had planted would receive such a reward today.

Because of Desolate Martial, Lin Lei and Lin Luo returned unscathed.

As for Lin Zhan, he obtained two treasures, the Nine Revolutions Yang Reversion Pill and Saraca Fruit.

Lin Zhan said, “It’s only been a few thousand years. I can’t imagine what realm he’ll reach in the future.”

Only Lin Zhan and Fairy Ling Ling Long knew that Su Zimo had ascended for less than 10,000 years!

Fairy Ling Long glanced at Lin Lei and smiled. “Lei’er, you’re usually prideful and look down on all the Perfected Immortals in the world. Now that you’ve met Desolate Martial, you finally know the difference, right?”

Lin Lei was silent for a moment before saying, “Indeed, I can’t defeat this person. This is the strongest opponent I’ve encountered since I started cultivating!”

“However, although he’s strong in combat, his methods are way too violent and he’s not someone of the orthodox path. Otherwise, I would really want to get to know him.”

“In what way was he violent?”

At the side, Lin Luo suddenly said, “Didn’t you notice? The ones who died in his hands were the Perfected Immortals who ate the blood peaches.”

“Even in the Hellfire at the end, many Perfected Immortals were not affected by it. I noticed that none of those Perfected Immortals laid their hands on the blood peaches.”

Lin Lei’s heart skipped a beat. “In that case, the people who died deserved it indeed.”

Right then, Lin Zhan suddenly asked, “Since the two of you are here, what happened to Desolate Martial? Did you guys leave him in Langfeng City?”

At the mention of that, Lin Lei felt guilty and did not dare to raise his head.

“Speak!”

Lin Zhan hollered with a furious expression.

Lin Lei knelt on the ground hurriedly and explained, “Father, please calm down. I was worried that the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain wouldn’t let him off after killing so many people.”

“If I bring Desolate Martial back, he’ll bring a calamity to our Lin family and the Battle Kingdom!”

The anger in Lin Zhan’s eyes did not diminish. “So, this is the way you treat a benefactor who saved your lives?”
