Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 3125: Scars

Translator: Legge

In the crowd of Heaven and Earth Academy, there was another skinny man with a scarred face who was unrecognizable and had a ferocious expression.

Even those who were most familiar with him would probably not recognize that face.

The Dharmic Dao that the man cultivated seemed to be different from others. It was difficult to accurately determine his cultivation realm and he might be at the Earth Immortal realm.

When he heard everyone mention Su Zimo, the scar-faced man seemed to have recalled something and lowered his head slightly in disappointment.

Right then, a large group of cultivators walked towards them from the street ahead. There were about a thousand of them and the leader was dressed in a scarlet flaming robe, surrounded by the crowd like a moon surrounded by stars. “Look, it’s the Prince of Spirit Cloud County of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.”

“I heard that the Prince of Spirit Cloud County was originally Xie Qingcheng. Later on, after Su Zimo of Heaven and Earth Academy died, Xie Qingcheng rebutted Immortal King Yan Yang recklessly in conversation and was crippled!” “What do you know? Even if Prince Qingcheng doesn’t rebut him, Immortal King Yan Yang will find an excuse to cripple him. After all, he’s just a b*stard born from a lowlife. Immortal King Yan Yang doesn’t fancy him at all.”

“That’s true. In the battle for the seal back then, no one thought highly of Xie Qingcheng. If Su Zimo hadn’t appeared out of nowhere, he wouldn’t have had a chance to rise.”

“Speaking of which, the battle for the seal back then was truly intense. Su Zimo of the academy defeated several experts of the Heaven Ranking Prediction consecutively and even crippled Prince Yan, Immortal King Yan Yang’s favorite!”

When they heard the discussions of the surrounding cultivators, Yang Ruoxu and Fairy Scarlet Rainbow in the academy frowned and exchanged glances.

Thereafter, Yang Ruoxu looked at the scar-faced man behind him worriedly and hesitated.

As though he sensed something, the scar-faced man only smiled self- deprecatingly and shook his head. “Brother Yang, I’m fine.”

That face was filled with blood-colored tendons. That smile made his face look even uglier.

Fairy Scarlet Rainbow looked at that face and her heart ached.

She turned around abruptly and looked at the cultivator in the crowd who had just said ‘b*stard’. She berated, “Shut that dog mouth of yours!”

“Why? Heaven and Earth Academy is so imposing that we can’t even speak now?”

The cultivator was fearless as well and retorted.

The sect he was in was also an earth-grade faction.

If it was 10,000 years ago, he would naturally not dare to contradict the disciples of the academy. Now that the academy was no longer the same as before, he had nothing to be afraid of.

Piak! Piak! Piak!

There was a round of applause from ahead.

The Prince of Spirit Cloud County clapped and said with a smile, “It’s been many years since we last met. Sister Scarlet Rainbow, you’re sure impressive.” Behind the Prince of Spirit Cloud County stood a man—he was the fourth on the Heaven Ranking Prediction back then.

He was the reincarnated Perfected Immortal Lie Xuan who was suppressed twice by Su Zimo in the battle for the seal. Right now, he had already cultivated to the Perfected Immortal realm once more.

At that time, Su Zimo let Lie Xuan off because of Xie Qingcheng’s plea.

The reason why Su Zimo did that was because he wanted to do Xie Qingcheng a favor.

Indeed, after Xie Qingcheng became the Prince of Spirit Cloud County, Lie Xuan assisted him to establish himself in the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, removing many obstacles.

However, even Lie Xuan could not stop what happened later on.

In fact, Lie Xuan played a key role in Yun Zhu’s rescue of Xie Qingcheng from the prison of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom!

At that moment, Lie Xuan’s gaze passed through the crowd and he could not bear to see the scar-faced man among the disciples of the academy.

“Your Highness…”

Lie Xuan sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness.

The scar-faced man did not raise his head and merely sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness. “Brother Lie, there’s no need for that. The old Xie Qingcheng is already dead.”

“Right now, there’s only an Earth Immortal called Cheng Qing who cultivates the Martial Dao in Heaven and Earth Academy.”

“I’m not your sister.”

Fairy Scarlet Rainbow said coldly, “I no longer have anything to do with the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.”

“Hrnph!”

The Prince of Spirit Cloud County harrumphed coldly. “You severed ties with Father and the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom for that b*stard Xie Qingcheng. That’s treason!”

“As the Prince of Spirit Cloud County, I can suppress you at any time and send you back to the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom to be imprisoned!”

With just a few words, the Prince of Spirit Cloud County convicted Fairy Scarlet Rainbow of a massive crime.

“Fufu…”

Fairy Scarlet Rainbow sneered, “Xie Yu, you merely adopted that position as the Prince of Spirit Cloud County. If not for Immortal King Yan Yang’s interference, you wouldn’t be worthy at all!”

“Xie Yu!”

Yang Ruoxu said in a deep voice, “Scarlet Rainbow is a disciple of our academy and also my Dao Companion. If you want to touch her, you have to get through me first!”

“Oh? And you are?”

Xie Yu looked askance and smiled sarcastically. “So it’s the current Sect Master of Heaven and Earth Academy. Impressive, impressive!”

“Yang Ruoxu, do you think Heaven and Earth Academy is still the same as before?”

Right then, another voice sounded.

Not far away, a group of cultivators walked over. Indeed, it was Wind Fire Temple, a heaven-grade faction that had risen in recent years!

The person in the lead was known as the number one Perfected Immortal of Wind Fire Temple, Perfected Immortal Xuan Feng!

It was said that Perfected Immortal Xuan Feng had already touched the threshold of a peerless divine power and even had a chance of competing for the Perfected Immortal Ranking of the next Nine Firmament Meet!

Perfected Immortal Xuan Feng chuckled. “Yang Ruoxu, I advise you to restrain yourself and be more polite in front of the Prince of Spirit Cloud County. Don’t be so arrogant lest you get into trouble!”

“It’s so lively.”

A voice sounded.

The cultivators of another heaven-grade faction, Void Pierce Palace, rushed over.

The person in the lead was the number one Perfected Spirit of Void Pierce Palace, Sword Immortal Wu Xu.

“The two of you came at the right time.”

Xie Yu cupped his fists slightly and said with a smile, “The bloodline of Immortal King Yan Yang flows through Scarlet Rainbow’s body. However, she actually wants to sever ties with the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom over a small matter. As the Prince of Spirit Cloud County, is there a problem with me suppressing her?”

“Of course not.”

Sword Immortal Wu Xu shook his head. “It’s only right to punish such a treacherous person!”

Perfected Immortal Xuan Feng said, “In my opinion, this woman has probably already fallen into the Fiend Dao. We orthodox cultivators should naturally slay demons and fiends!”

There was naturally no conflict between Heaven and Earth Academy and Void Pierce Palace as well as Wind Fire Temple.

All these years, Heaven and Earth Academy had grown and developed carefully like they were treading on thin ice and could not have offended the two heaven-grade factions at all.

However, for Wind Fire Temple and Void Pierce Palace, they naturally had to stand on the side of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, which was also a heaven-grade faction.

Yang Ruoxu frowned and said in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoists, this is the capital of Great Jin and private fights are prohibited.”

“Take them down!”

As though he did not hear anything, Xie Yu waved his hand with a cold expression and pointed in Fairy Scarlet Rainbow’s direction.

Immediately, five Perfected Immortals flashed out and pounced towards Fairy Scarlet Rainbow.

Lie Xuan frowned but did not step forward.

If Yang Ruoxu and Fairy Scarlet Rainbow had kept a low profile, Xie Yu might have let them off after mocking them.

However, the two of them dared to talk back in front of everyone on that busy street!

That instantly aroused Xie Yu’s killing intent!

“How dare you!”

Yang Ruoxu was enraged and summoned his sword as well. A righteous aura reverberated and surged into the skies, sweeping in all directions, stopping the five Perfected Immortals!
