Eternal sacred king

Ping Yang Town was one of the many small towns under the jurisdiction of Cang Lang City. It also belonged to the Country of Da Qi.

At this moment, a troop of cavalrymen slowly walked into the town. The leader was clad in armor and looked resolute. He was Cao Gang, one of the Five Wolf Guards of Cang Lang City.

The other person was a delicate-looking young man. He was dressed in a green robe and exuded a scholarly aura.

The young man's name was Su Zimo. He was the second young master of the Su family in Ping Yang Town. He was famous for being a High Scholar at the age of 17.

"Second Young Master Su is different from the scholars that I have known in the past. Although you look weak, your horsemanship is excellent. You are not inferior to my guards," Cao Gang said.

"Lord Cao, you flatter me." Su Zimo smiled. "Elder Brother has been in the horse business. I have been with horses since I was young and have some foundation. Moreover, Zhui Feng is quite intelligent."

As he said that, Su Zimo patted the handsome horse that he was riding on.

The horse named 'Zhui Feng' seemed to understand Su Zimo's praise. It raised its head and snorted. There was a hint of intelligence in its eyes.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the side. Someone shouted, "Oh no, I heard that the girl from the Shen family has been chosen by an immortal and is going to join an immortal sect."

"The girl from the Shen family? Which Shen family? "

"It's Shen Meng Qi, the one who is discussing marriage with Second Young Master Su."

The news spread very quickly. The surrounding people had already started discussing. Many of them looked at Su Zimo strangely.

"Immortal?" Su Zimo muttered softly. His understanding of immortals was still based on those illusory legends.

Could a human's power summon the wind and rain, burn the sky and boil the sea?

Su Zimo did not believe that there were immortals in this world without seeing it with his own eyes.

Upon hearing the word 'immortal', Cao Gang's body trembled. His expression changed and a tinge of fear flashed past the depths of his eyes. However, Su Zimo frowned and was deep in thought. He did not notice it.

Right at this moment, a rainbow light suddenly flashed across the sky. It was extremely fast. Just as it passed over the heads of Su Zimo and the others, it turned back and stopped in mid-air.

Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw three people standing in the void without any support. It was as if there was an invisible force supporting them.

Su Zimo's expression changed slightly.

Immortals!

This kind of means was simply not something that could be understood or touched by the people of the mortal world.

"The gods have appeared ..."

"Immortal, please bless me!"

The densely packed crowd all knelt on the ground at the same time. Their faces were filled with reverence as they prayed.

Cao Gang's movements were extremely fast. He dismounted from his horse and knelt on the ground. He shouted loudly, "Commoner Cao Gang of Cang Lang City pays his respects to the Immortal!"

Cao Gang's actions shocked Su Zimo.

As one of the Five Wolf Guards, Cao Gang had great power within a few hundred miles of Cang Lang City. However, even he knelt on the ground without hesitation when he saw the Immortal.

In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo stood on his horse like a crane among chickens. He was extremely eye-catching among the black mass of people who knelt on the ground.

There was an omnipresent pressure!

Su Zimo was silent for a while. He leaped down from Zhui Feng and looked up.

In mid-air, the man in the middle was wearing a aquamarine long robe. He had a cold expression and his long and narrow eyes looked down at the people beneath his feet. There was a sense of arrogance between his brows.

There was a man and a woman standing beside the man in the aquamarine robe. They were all from Ping Yang Town. The man was called Zhou Dingyun. He was a notorious ruffian in the town. He bullied people and did all kinds of evil. Two years ago, he was sent to prison by Su Zimo. Now, he was brought out by the man in the aquamarine robe.

Su Zimo frowned slightly. Given Zhou Dingyun's character, how could he have the chance to enter an immortal sect? If Zhou Dingyun were to become an immortal, how many people would suffer?

Su Zimo shifted his gaze and looked at the young lady in mid-air.

The young lady's name was Shen Meng Qi. She was in the prime of her life. Her skin was whiter than snow and she had a gentle temperament.

Through Shen Meng Qi's eyes, Su Zimo knew her feelings for him.

The promise that they had made in the past was worthless in the face of the legendary immortal fate. Su Zimo did not expect that the two of them would meet again under such circumstances.

One was high and mighty while the other was standing in the mortal world.

Shen Meng Qi was also looking at Su Zimo. She was looking at this man whom she had worshipped so much.

In her heart, Su Zimo was omnipotent. He was enlightened at the age of three, understood the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of seven, passed the county level examination at the age of twelve and passed the provincial level examination at the age of seventeen. Such a genius was unprecedented in the Country of Da Qi. He would definitely become an important official in the future.

Su Zimo did not learn martial arts due to the obstruction of the eldest young master of the Su family. However, Shen Meng Qi believed that if Su Zimo learned martial arts, he would also be conferred the title of king and minister.

But now, Shen Meng Qi realized that she was wrong.

Su Zimo's achievements belonged to the mortal world after all. They were not worth mentioning in the eyes of immortals.

With just one opportunity, she already had the qualifications to look down on Su Zimo.

"Mortal, why don't you kneel!"

This question was like a sudden clap of thunder that suddenly exploded in Su Zimo's ears. It made him dizzy and his limbs weak. He almost collapsed on the ground.

In the face of a legendary immortal, there was nothing wrong with kneeling on the ground. However, the attitude of the green-robed man, which was close to bullying, aroused the injustice in Su Zimo's heart.

This injustice came from the determination in Shen Meng Qi's eyes. It came from the doubt of the immortal's choice of disciple. More importantly, it came from the pride in Su Zimo's bones.

Su Zimo took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation in his chest. He said loudly, "I have scholarly achievements. I don't even need to kneel when I see the King of Da Qi. Why should I kneel to you?"

If you want me to kneel, I will not kneel!

The so-called scholarly achievements were, of course, just an excuse by Su Zimo.

Under the shroud of the green-robed man's fierce aura, the surrounding mortals were as silent as cicadas in winter. They did not even dare to raise their heads. However, Su Zimo confronted the immortal with the body of a mortal. His aura was not weak at all.

"Indeed, you are a foolish mortal."

The corners of the green-robed man's mouth curled up slightly. His eyes were cold as he said lightly, "In that case, your scholarly achievements ... are invalid from today onwards."

Although his tone was calm, no one doubted it.

The green-robed man continued, "If any vassal state dares to accept this person as an official, they will be the enemy of the Iridescent Clouds Palace, Perfected Cang Lang!"

Hearing the words Iridescent Clouds Palace and Perfected Cang Lang, Cao Gang, who was kneeling on the ground, was shocked. He quickly replied in a trembling voice, "Rest assured, Perfected Cang Lang. As long as he is in Da Qi, Su Zimo will be a lowly commoner for the rest of his life!"

A lowly commoner for the rest of his life!

With just a few words, Su Zimo's fate was decided.

A trace of pity flashed across Chen Meng Qi's eyes. On the other hand, the scoundrel Zhou Dingyun looked excited.

Su Zimo looked very calm, as if he had not suffered a blow.

After a while, Su Zimo laughed self-deprecatingly. "This scholarly achievement is so cheap. What's the use of it?"

"Hmm?"

Perfected Cang Lang's long and narrow eyes gradually narrowed into a line. There was a cold glint in his eyes.

Su Zimo's provocation made him want to kill him!

At this moment, Zhui Feng, who was originally standing beside Su Zimo, suddenly became irritable and restless. The horse's hooves rubbed against the ground as it neighed incessantly.

Su Zimo remained calm and collected, but he was shocked.

Zhui Feng had reacted this way when he was in danger a few times.

"It's actually a psychic beast. Hmph, how dare it be noisy in front of me!"

Perfected Cang Lang shouted softly. He stretched out his index finger and pointed at Zhui Feng.

Before Zhui Feng could react, a red light had already entered Zhui Feng's body.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhui Feng's body suddenly emitted a scorching flame, which instantly engulfed its entire body.

Whoosh!

The flame was so strong that it wanted to engulf Su Zimo as well!

Although Su Zimo was not as weak as ordinary scholars, he had never seen such a treacherous method. He was completely stunned on the spot.

Seeing that Su Zimo was about to be engulfed by the flame, Zhui Feng let out a sorrowful cry and galloped away like a madman.

The crowd was so frightened that they scattered in all directions. Zhui Feng had only run a few steps before it fell to the ground weakly. In the blink of an eye, it was burned into a pile of dust, leaving not even its bones behind!

The whole process only took a few breaths. This flame definitely did not belong to the mortal world!

It was conceivable that if Zhui Feng had not run away in time, Su Zimo would not have been spared if he had been touched by even a little bit of the flame.

"What a sentient steed that protected its master. What a pity," Wolf Guard Cao Gang lamented.

A gentle breeze blew and Zhui Feng's ashes drifted in the air for a long time, as though it was bidding farewell to its master.

Su Zimo looked ahead in a daze. His eyes were red and he looked like he had lost his soul. It was a heart-wrenching sight.

A long time later.

Su Zimo's eyes regained clarity and he let out a long breath. Raising his head once more, he stared at Perfected Cang Lang in midair expressionlessly and said calmly, "If you don't kill me, you will definitely regret it in the future."

Upon hearing that, everyone looked at Su Zimo as though they were looking at a dead man.

"How smart!" Wolf Guard Cao Gang was the only one who praised internally, "Perfected Cang Lang already has killing intent. Just Now, he attacked with the intention of killing this lad. If he did not say that, this lad would not have been able to escape death. However, after saying that, given this immortal's pride, he would definitely not attack him again. "

Before Cao Gang could finish his thoughts, Perfected Cang Lang sneered, "Mortal, you are just a lowly commoner without a spirit root. You will never be able to cultivate in this lifetime. In terms of potential, you are not even comparable to that beast Just Now! Do you think you are worthy of making me regret? "

Su Zimo did not refute. Silently, he picked up a handful of Zhui Feng's ashes from the ground and turned to leave.

A look of mockery flashed across Perfected Cang Lang's eyes as he said indifferently, "Even if a lowly ant's heart is yearning for the sky, how can he touch the wings of an eagle?"

Seeing Su Zimo leave safely, Zhou Dingyun was indignant.

If not for this lad, he would not have suffered so much in prison. At the thought of this, Zhou Dingyun's eyes turned venomous and his expression changed. No one knew what he was scheming.

Looking at Su Zimo's lonely back view, Chen Meng Qi sighed in her heart.

In less than an hour, this man had lost everything he had. Perhaps, he was only left with that pitiful pride.

However, what was the use of that?

"Sigh, Second Young Master Su has lost his scholarly achievements and has become a lowly commoner. He is no different from a useless person."

"The two young masters of the Su family, one of them is a scholar and the other is a martial artist. These years, they had the potential to rise up. Who would have thought that they would suffer such a setback? Luckily, First Young Master Su is a Connate Expert."

"What's the use of being a Connate Expert? That Wolf Guard Lord Cao is also a Connate Expert. When he saw the immortal, he was so scared that he knelt on the ground."

"Based on what the immortal said, Second Young Master Su does not even have the right to cultivate. I'm afraid he will die of depression in the future."

Su Zimo lowered his head and walked forward silently as if he did not hear the discussions around him.

"Zimo, wait up."

This voice was so familiar. However, the way she addressed him was a little strange. Before today, the girl behind him had always called him Brother Zimo intimately.

Su Zimo did not stop and continued walking forward.

Chen Meng Qi caught up with him. There was some sweat on the tip of her nose. She frowned slightly and panted, "Zimo, have you become stupid from studying? Just Now, what's the big deal about kneeling down?"

"It's not a big deal. It's just that I don't want to," Su Zimo said calmly.

Su Zimo did not stop walking. Chen Meng Qi was already angry. Hearing this, she was even more furious. She took a few steps forward and blocked in front of Su Zimo.

"Su Zimo, wake up!"

Chen Meng Qi stared into Su Zimo's eyes and said loudly, "Don't think about revenge. That's impossible. You're already 17 years old. You've already missed the best age to cultivate martial arts. You don't have spirit roots and can't cultivate at all. Even if you can reach the postnatal or connate realm in the future, you'll only have the strength of a mortal. You won't be able to withstand a single blow from an immortal! "

Su Zimo was silent. He only looked at Chen Meng Qi quietly.

Chen Meng Qi could not resist Su Zimo's gaze. She lowered her head and said softly, "We did have an agreement. I'm also grateful to you for helping the Shen family all these years. However ... that's all in the past. Moreover, from today onwards, we're people from two different worlds. "

Su Zimo smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly. "Is your world that great?"

Chen Meng Qi said, "Zhou Dingyun and I will follow the Perfected and leave Ping Yang Town tomorrow. Today, I'm here to bid you farewell. I don't want to argue with you about these meaningless things."

"Go ahead. I won't send you off. We'll meet again if fate allows."

Su Zimo was dispirited. He walked past Chen Meng Qi and continued walking.

Just as the two of them brushed past each other, Chen Meng Qi murmured softly, "Our fate has come to an end. We're separated by immortals and mortals. I'm afraid ... we won't meet again."

Su Zimo paused in his footsteps. In the end, he left without saying a word.
