Chapter 1926: Hunting Meet
Translator: Legge
“How is that possible?”
In midair, the armored man was shocked.
Two extremely terrifying living beings were dug out from the mine and the snow-white butterfly almost killed him!
Even a Heaven Immortal like him nearly died in the mine, but this Black Immortal before him walked out alive!
“Interesting,”
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue chuckled.
“Report your name!”
The City Lord of Glass City, Liu Yu, asked in a deep voice.
There was no way Su Zimo could leave this place in front of such a situation and everyone. He could only maintain his composure and cupped his fists. “I’m Su Zimo and I came from the lower worlds. Greetings, Exalted Immortals.”
“So, you’re a lowlife,”
When they heard Su Zimo’s words, many experts pouted their lips with disdain in their eyes.
The weakest cultivators present were Earth Immortals.
Although Su Zimo was a Grade 9 Black Immortal, he was not worthy of their attention!
Su Zimo saw everyone’s reaction.
The environment of the upper world was even more difficult than he had imagined.
No matter what achievements one had in the lower worlds, no matter how many Heavenly Tribulations they had passed to ascend, no matter how talented they were, as long as they were from the lower worlds, they would be mocked, jeered, humiliated and even enslaved here!
That was because in the eyes of those cultivators of the upper world, they did not treat cultivators who ascended as humans at all!
Su Zimo remained silent.
Given his current cultivation, it was impossible for him to protect himself, let alone change the situation.
Liu Yu sized up Su Zimo with a sharp gaze and did not find anything unusual.
This Grade 9 Black Immortal was extremely ordinary and even looked scholarly, like a harmless scholar of the mortal world.
Su Zimo had long hidden the bloodline of his Green Lotus True Body.
On the Dragon Abyss Star, even if he revealed his Green Lotus bloodline, no one might recognize him.
However, it was different on Divine Firmament Mainland.
Furthermore, the gray-haired man in the lead was unfathomable and was most likely the legendary Green Cloud County Governor!
“How did a Black Immortal like you manage to come out alive?”
Liu Yu narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.
He exuded the might of a Heaven Immortal expert, as though he would attack and kill Su Zimo the moment the latter replied wrongly!
Glass City was an important city under the jurisdiction of Green Cloud County.
Anyone who could become the City Lord of Glass City was naturally decisive to kill and their hands were stained with countless blood.
“It’s probably luck. I truly only managed to survive by chance,”
Su Zimo had a calm expression. “Initially, I was about to be killed by a blood-colored spider. Unexpectedly, a snow-white butterfly suddenly awakened and these two ancient living beings fought…”
Su Zimo recounted the scene beneath the mine but skipped the part about the snow-white butterfly healing him.
There were no falsehoods in his words. When Su Zimo said it, it gave off the feeling that he was lucky to survive because he was not involved in the battle between the two living beings.
“Bullshit!”
Liu Yu suddenly shouted.
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat. However, he calmed down quickly and met Liu Yu’s gaze with a calm expression.
Actually, Liu Yu merely had a vague feeling that something was amiss with what Su Zimo said. However, he could not pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
“How dare a lowlife be dishonest in front of me!”
Liu Yu extended his palm and a tremendous amount of Essence Qi gathered, surrounding Su Zimo instantly and pulling the latter to his side.
The power of a Heaven Immortal was way too strong for Su Zimo to defend against.
“Let’s see what’s in your soul’s memories!”
With a cold expression, Liu Yu was prepared to capture Su Zimo’s Essence Spirit and use the Soul Searching Art.
He would rather kill the wrong person than let them off!
Against a Grade 9 Black Immortal who was a lowlife, Liu Yu released the Soul Searching Art without any pressure or reservations.
Su Zimo’s gaze was cold.
If his soul was searched, all his secrets would be exposed.
The only thing he could do was to self-destruct his Essence Spirit!
“Forget it,”
Right then, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue suddenly said, “Leave this person to me.”
Liu Yu was slightly stunned. “County Governor, I feel that there’s something strange about this lad. He might have some secrets on him. Why don’t I search his soul before handing him over…”
“After enduring the Soul Searching Art, even if he doesn’t die, he’s basically crippled,”
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue said indifferently, “What’s the use of having a cripple?”
“County Governor, you want to…”
Liu Yu’s heart skipped a beat as he guessed Perfected Immortal Jing Yue’s intentions.
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue ignored Liu Yu and looked at Su Zimo. “You’re indeed lucky to be able to walk out of such a mine alive.”
“I’ll give you another chance. If you’re still so lucky and survive, I’ll give you a huge opportunity!”
“Thank you, County Governor,”
Su Zimo bowed in thanks and lowered his head.
He did not let down his guard nor was he grateful to the Green Cloud County Governor.
Although the Green Cloud County Governor saved him, it was clear that he had other motives. He did not know if it was good or bad.
“Take him away first and guard him well,”
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue said, “I’ll wait here for a few more days to search for that Ice Butterfly.”
Before long, more than ten Earth Immortal guards arrived beside Su Zimo and escorted him towards Glass City.
Although the Earth Immortal guards did not lock Su Zimo’s limbs, they did not leave his side the entire time and did not give him any chance to escape!
Su Zimo frowned slightly.
It would have been fine if there were only one or two Earth Immortals—he would have been able to escape with some methods.
However, there was no way he could escape alive against the watch of more than ten Earth Immortals, including a Grade 9 Earth Immortal!
After Su Zimo left, Liu Yu asked, “Are you going to throw that lad into the Ten Extreme Hell, County Governor?”
“Yes,”
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue nodded slightly and smiled. “Since that lad said that he’s lucky, let’s see how much fortune favors him in the Ten Extreme Hell.”
“By the looks of his weak body, he’ll probably die inside before long,”
Liu Yu laughed as well.
A moment later, he hesitated for a moment before asking softly, “I heard that there was a huge commotion at the Hunting Meet this time round and many Grade 8 and 9 Black Immortals were gathered from the major cities. I’m sure Prince Yuan Zuo isn’t doing this just for fun, right?”
“What are you trying to say?”
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue asked expressionlessly.
Liu Yu said in a low voice, “There’s something strange about the suddenness of the Hunting Meet this time round. Is there any secret? County Governor, I wonder if you can tell me anyth—”
“It’s best if you don’t ask about the affairs of Prince Yuan Zuo!”
Perfected Immortal Jing Yue interrupted Liu Yu coldly.
Liu Yu lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly, not daring to refute.
After a brief pause, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue’s expression softened. “You don’t have to think too much about it. As usual, the City Lords will be invited to watch this spectacular hunt.”
“If you’re interested, you can come along.”
