Eternal Sacred King



This was Avici.

There were countless cultivators from all over the place who had barged in this time round. Su Zimo was still being hunted by two Perfected Immortals and did not have the mood to save anyone he did not know.

However, that voice reminded him of someone he had never met before.

Pausing for a moment, Su Zimo changed directions and followed the voice.

After taking a few steps, a tunnel appeared in front of him, connected to the mountain peak.

After Su Zimo passed through the tunnel, the environment before him underwent another huge change.

It was like an endless desert with corpses strewn everywhere. Many cultivators had flesh and blood remaining—it was clear that they had died not long ago.

Unlike the situation in the karst cave behind him, the corpses of these cultivators were swollen and their skin was greenish-black. They emitted a foul stench and pus blood flowed beneath them.

Not far away, a few black scorpions that were half the height of a human surrounded a woman in plain clothes. Their tails were raised and shone with a dark glint as they tested the waters, ready to attack at any moment!

As for the plain-robed woman, she sat on the ground limply, as though she could not move. She held a jade brush in her hands and faced the surrounding black scorpions.

Even under such circumstances, the plain-robed woman looked calm without any signs of embarrassment or wretchedness.

Su Zimo felt that the plain-robed woman was extremely beautiful and looked familiar.

However, he knew that he had never seen this person before.

No matter what, he had to save the plain-robed woman.

Su Zimo strode towards the plain-robed woman. The few black scorpions turned around and wanted to attack Su Zimo.

However, before long, the black scorpions sensed something and scattered in all directions with frightened expressions. Soon, they burrowed into the desert and disappeared.

"It's you?"

The plain-robed woman was shocked when she saw Su Zimo.

"Fellow Daoist, you've seen me before?"

Su Zimo approached and asked with a smile.

The plain-robed woman nodded slightly and did not hide anything. "We've met once."

Pausing for a moment, she said in a seemingly curious manner, "But you shouldn't have seen me before."

Su Zimo said, "Indeed, I've never seen you before. However, I remember your voice."

"How shameless to bully the weak!"

Su Zimo looked at the plain-robed woman and suddenly said those words.

The plain-robed woman was surprised as she recalled the scene at the Immortal Sect Selection.

At that time, Prince Yuan Zuo brought Perfected Immortal Jing Yue and the others to the Immortal Sect Selection, wanting to take Su Zimo away.

In the end, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue even attacked Su Zimo despite his status as a Perfected Immortal!

Back then, she was the one who secretly stepped in and resolved Perfected Immortal Jing Yue's attack.

At the same time, she said something to mock Perfected Immortal Jing Yue—those were the words Su Zimo just said.

"To think that you would still remember this matter."

The plain-robed woman smiled and felt a little happy.

Firstly, she was out of danger.

Furthermore, she knew that with Su Zimo by her side, she should not be in any danger in Avici.

Secondly, she had merely mentioned it casually back then. To think that this scholarly youth would remember it for so long.

In the eyes of the plain-robed woman, she had always regarded Su Zimo as someone like Yun Ting—vibrant and energetic like a youth.

"Of course I'd remember."

Su Zimo said, "At that time, if you hadn't stood in, I would have died, let alone have the chance to join Heaven and Earth Academy and cultivate till now."

At the mention of that, the plain-robed woman felt a little ashamed and shook her head. "It's all thanks to Yang Ruoxu and Fairy Mo Qing that you're able to join Heaven and Earth Academy."

Although she appeared and suppressed Perfected Immortal Jing Yue at that time, she was wary when Zither Immortal Meng Yao arrived later on and did not insist on her confrontation with the latter.

She was a princess of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom after all.

It was irrational for her to stand out and fight against Zither Immortal Meng Yao because of a stranger like Su Zimo.

Because of that, Yang Ruoxu had to go against the suppression of the Zither Immortal before Fairy Mo Qing finally arrived.

Su Zimo said, "We don't know each other. I'm already extremely grateful that you stood up for me, Fellow Daoist."

Right then, chaotic footsteps sounded from the tunnel behind him.

Perfected Immortal Imperial Dragon, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue, Xie Tianhong and the others chased after him in a wretched manner.

This time round, there were only slightly more than ten of them left!

After this long journey, a hint of fear flashed through the eyes of the remaining cultivators, including the two Perfected Immortals.

"Fellow Daoist, can you still move?"

Su Zimo asked, "I'm being hunted down by my enemies. I have to leave as soon as possible."

"I can't move."

The plain-robed woman shook her head gently and pointed to her legs. "My feet were stung by the scorpions. Although the poison was suppressed by me for the time being, my legs could not move."

Almost all the cultivators in this Hell were dead after being stung by the scorpions.

The fact that the plain-robed woman could suppress the poison for the time being was proof that she was not weak either.

"Fellow Daoist, since it's a pressing situation, I'll carry you on my back to leave this place first before making further plans!"

Su Zimo was extremely decisive. He took a step forward and helped the woman up without giving her a chance to reply. Placing her on his back, he strode forward and sprinted.

Throughout the entire process, the plain-robed woman was in a stump.

By the time she reacted, she was already on Su Zimo's back.

She had not expected Su Zimo to be so domineering that he would carry her and run without even asking her…

Actually, Su Zimo did not think too much about it.

He only knew that if he left the plain-robed woman behind, the poisonous scorpions would come looking for her and kill her after he left.

The only way the plain-robed woman could survive was by following him!

Of course, this involved the secret of the Hell Suppression Tripod so he could not explain things clearly.

However, Su Zimo realized that it was a little rude after carrying the woman on his back.

There were only a few pieces of clothes between the two of them and it was inevitable that there would be some friction and contact as they sprinted.

The plain-robed woman blushed slightly and merely placed her hands on Su Zimo's shoulders, trying her best to prop up her upper body.

Su Zimo remained silent and continued sprinting.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and remained silent about this matter, pretending that nothing had happened.

Su Zimo could not possibly throw the plain-robed woman down.

Xie Tianhong and the others had just arrived and were panting from exhaustion. Before they could catch their breaths, they saw Su Zimo carry a woman on his back and turn to flee.

"I…"

Xie Tianhong was so angry that he nearly fainted!

"Hurry and chase!"

The two Perfected Immortals had just caught their breath when they saw a few black scorpions crossing the desert not far away, glaring covetously.

No one dared to linger and could only grit their teeth to continue chasing after Su Zimo.

"If I'm not wrong, that woman earlier on seemed to be one of the four great fairies, the Book Immortal!" Perfected Immortal Jing Yue frowned.

"The Book Immortal?"

Xie Tianhong snapped out of his stupor. "Yes, that's her! The Book Immortal is a princess of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom. If I step in, she should give me some face and stand on our side!"

"Fellow Daoist, are you one of the four great fairies, Book Immortal Yun Zhu?"

Xie Tianhong shouted as he ran, "I'm the prince of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom's Spirit Cloud County, Xie Tianhong. I've met you at the Divine Firmament Meet before."

There was no response from the front.

"Fairy Yun Zhu, the person beneath you is a great enemy of mine. Please make a move and restrain him. I'll be extremely grateful and will definitely repay you immensely!"

Xie Tianhong shouted again.

There was still no response.

Xie Tianhong blushed and grit his teeth. Just as he was about to shout again, Perfected Immortal Imperial Dragon sighed and shook his head. "Your Highness, forget it…"
