Eternal Sacred King

Solar Luna County, Cangyu City.

After coming here to investigate the murder of the 13 Execution Guards, Prince Yuan Zuo did not leave. Instead, he rested temporarily in Cangyu City.

Although he was also residing in the residence of a prince at the moment, the difference was stark compared to his residence in Green Cloud City.

There was nothing he could do about that.

Ever since he met that person more than 2,000 years ago, his fate had begun to change.

To be precise, he had fallen from the clouds to the bottom!

According to the normal trajectory, if he obtained the jade talisman, he would have a chance to obtain a Taboo Mystic Classic. If he cultivated the Mystic Classic, he would definitely be able to advance to the Perfected One realm and become a Perfected Immortal!

At that time, his status among the many princes and princesses would rise once more, second only to the heir of King Jin and Zither Immortal Meng Yao!

With the Taboo Mystic Classic, his combat strength would increase exponentially and he might even become famous in the Nine Firmament in the future!

However, everything was ruined.

Ruined in the hands of a cultivator from the lower worlds named Su Zimo!

He lost Green Cloud County, the adoration of his father, a clone, his former status and almost everything he once had!

In the dark hall, Prince Yuan Zuo sat alone with a grim expression that was even darker than the surrounding light.

All these years, he did not dare to stop.

Once he calmed down, he would fall into endless pain and hatred. Unknowingly, he would recall the power and status he once possessed and the cultivator of the lower worlds that he hated to the core!

For more than 2,000 years, Prince Yuan Zuo had not given up on searching for Su Zimo.

However, what he could not understand was that Su Zimo seemed to have vanished into thin air without a trace!

Even with Feng Cantian's cultivation back then, he paid an extremely high price to escape from the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.

Su Zimo had just entered the Earth Immortal realm—how could he leave the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom?

Prince Yuan Zuo had a feeling that Su Zimo was in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and had not left!

However, if he was still in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, where had he been hiding for the past 2,000 years?

The Execution Guards were everywhere in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and there was a bounty on his life in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. How could he have hidden for more than 2,000 years?

Right then, hurried and flustered footsteps sounded from outside the hall.

"Y-Your Highness!"

An Execution Guard rushed in hurriedly.

"What is it?"

Prince Yuan Zuo frowned slightly.

The Execution Guard raised a letter in his hands. "Someone handed this letter to me and asked me to pass it to you so that you can open it personally!"

"Who was it?"

Prince Yuan Zuo asked.

"I-I'm not sure,"

The Execution Guard stammered.

"You're not sure?"

Prince Yuan Zuo's gaze turned cold.

The Execution Guard shuddered in fear and explained hurriedly, "For some reason, I felt my consciousness blur for a moment. Immediately after, this letter appeared in my hands right on the heels of that."

"Thereafter, a voice sounded in my mind, asking me to hand the letter to Your Highness and have you open it personally."

When the Execution Guard spoke about this matter, his expression was still bewildered and lost. "Right from the beginning, I didn't see anyone. I asked a few more questions but there was no response."

"That's all?"

Prince Yuan Zuo asked with a frown.

"Ah!"

The Execution Guard seemed to have thought of something and continued hurriedly, "The voice even said that Your Highness will definitely be interested in the contents of the letter."

"Oh?"

Prince Yuan Zuo sneered internally, "Hand it over! Let's see who's being mysterious and what's in the letter!"

The Execution Guard held the letter with both hands and handed it over respectfully.

Prince Yuan Zuo received the letter and was about to tear off the seal when his heart skipped a beat. He handed it back to the Execution Guard in front of him and said indifferently, "Help me open it, but don't read the contents."

The Execution Guard's heart turned cold.

Naturally, he could tell that Prince Yuan Zuo was worried that there would be danger lurking in the sealed letter and that was why he wanted him to give it a try.

Although he could tell Prince Yuan Zuo's intentions, he did not dare to resist. He could only grit his teeth and wipe away the seal before withdrawing a page of paper from within.

Nothing happened throughout the entire process.

The Execution Guard broke out in cold sweat and heaved a sigh of relief.

Prince Yuan Zuo was emotionless as he took the letter and opened it. He merely glanced at it casually and his expression changed!

The Execution Guard stole a glance.

Prince Yuan Zuo stared at the letter in his hands with a changing expression. It was unknown what was written on the letter.

The Execution Guard could vaguely see that there seemed to be a portrait drawn on the back of the letter. However, most of it was covered by Prince Yuan Zuo's palm and could not be seen clearly.

A moment later, Prince Yuan Zuo said slowly, "Get Commander Lone Star to meet me!"

After a brief pause, he continued, "As soon as possible!"

"Understood!"

The Execution Guard turned to leave hurriedly.

Before long, the commander of the Heaven Execution Guards, Lone Star, arrived and entered the hall hurriedly, asking in a deep voice, "Your Highness, what happened?"

"Take a look,"

Prince Yuan Zuo handed the letter to Lone Star.

Lone Star took a look and his expression changed as well as he exclaimed, "Su Zimo! He has already left the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and is taking part in the Immortal Sect Selection in Coiling Dragon Mountain Range?"

"Who wrote this letter? Is the source reliable?"

Lone Star asked hurriedly.

"I don't know who wrote it,"

Prince Yuan Zuo frowned deeply and shook his head. "There's no way to determine if the news is reliable. However, the contents of the letter seem real and there are even many details that match it."

"The letter said that Su Zimo knows a transformation technique that can change his appearance for a long time. That's the reason why he was able to hide in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom for more than 2,000 years."

"And now, Su Zimo has transformed into a sickly young man and is taking part in the Immortal Sect Selection."

"Behind the letter is a portrait of this young man. Although the drawing is ordinary, his attire, physique, countenance and facial features have been drawn. If you see the real person, you'll definitely be able to recognize him."

Just as Prince Yuan Zuo was discussing, the letter in Lone Star's hands suddenly burned without warning.

The two of them hurriedly tried to extinguish the flames on the letter but to no avail.

In the blink of an eye, the letter turned into ashes and dissipated in midair without a trace.

"This…"

Prince Yuan Zuo and Lone Star exchanged glances—both could tell of the other's fear.

The methods of the person who wrote the letter were unfathomable and far surpassed the two of them!

Suddenly, the hall went silent.

A long time later, Lone Star asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Prince Yuan Zuo clenched his fists slightly and said in a deep voice, "I'd rather believe it than not! Since I've obtained this news, I've got to check things out at Coiling Dragon Mountain Range!"

"If Su Zimo truly manages to join the four immortal sects after the Immortal Sect Selection ends, it'll be difficult to deal with him then."

Lone Star nodded as well. "Even if the news is wrong, we'll just make a wasted trip at most without any losses."

"However, Coiling Dragon Mountain Range is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. Even if we appear, it won't be easy to deal with him."

"Yes,"

Prince Yuan Zuo pondered for a moment. "Go down and gather the Execution Guards first. I'll leave after sending a message. The Immortal Sect Selection is about to end. Let's move immediately and not delay!"
