Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2170 - 2170 Escalated Situation



2170 Escalated Situation

Su Zimo had not expected that after joining the Heaven and Earth Academy, he would still be targeted even after going into seclusion for a thousand years!

However, he could not figure out where the hostility came from.

“On what basis?”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow felt indignant for Su Zimo. “Steward Chen and Lu Wenbin were the ones who violated the academy’s rules first. What did Su Zimo do wrong?”

“The academy’s rules forbid disciples from fighting in private. That alone is enough to teach him a lesson by letting him be a servant for a few years!”

Elder Teng waved his hand and said coldly, “Take Su Zimo, Chen Sheng and Lu Wenbin down with you. They will train in the servants’ area for a few years before they’re allowed to return.”

Just as Princess Scarlet Rainbow was about to speak, Elder Teng glared at her and said, “Although you have a noble status, don’t forget that this is Heaven and Earth Academy, not the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom!”

“If you disrupt the academy’s law enforcement, you’ll be punished as well!”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow frowned and was enraged. She ground her canine teeth and glared at Elder Teng fiercely.

As a princess, she was scolded in front of everyone—she had never suffered such grievances before.

However, she knew in her heart that the people of the academy did not care about her status as a princess.

If she persisted, Elder Teng would definitely chase her out of the outer sect to become a servant as well.

If news of this were to spread to the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, she would become the laughing stock of the royal family!

Princess Scarlet Rainbow’s face alternated between shades of green and white.

Although she wanted to speak up for Su Zimo, she had her reservations.

Right then, a gentle voice sounded from the side. “Thank you for speaking up, princess. I’ll handle this matter.”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow glanced sideways and caught sight of Su Zimo’s calm and gentle gaze. For some reason, her mind gradually calmed down as well.

Su Zimo’s words made her feel better. Without saying anything more, she pursed her lips and nodded.

Su Zimo turned to look at Elder Teng and said slowly, “Elder Teng, if I attack you now in the academy and you retaliate, will it be considered a private fight and a violation of the academy’s rules?”

The surrounding cultivators shook their heads when they heard that.

This was a direct challenge to the authority of the Disciplinary Elder!

Although everyone knew that Su Zimo was completely innocent in this matter, he had just joined the sect not long ago and was only an outer sect disciple.

Furthermore, many cultivators had heard that Su Zimo came from the lower worlds.

Someone of his status was asking for trouble by challenging the Disciplinary Elder!

“Fufu,”

Suddenly, Elder Teng laughed and looked at Su Zimo with disdain and mockery. He said proudly, “Su Zimo, do you know what a Disciplinary Elder is?”

“If you dare to attack me, it’s equivalent to challenging the rules of the academy. I have every reason to kill you on the spot!”

“You won’t even get the chance to be a servant!”

“Is that so?”

Su Zimo smiled as well and said coldly, “If I attack you, you won’t even get a chance to retaliate.”

Psst!

A commotion broke out in the surrounding crowd.

“Isn’t that person way too arrogant?”

“I don’t think he’s arrogant. There’s something wrong with his head.”

“How can an outer sect disciple who ascended from the lower worlds be qualified to challenge the Disciplinary Elder? Furthermore, Elder Teng is a Heaven Immortal. How dare an Earth Immortal like him act so brazenly? He truly doesn’t know what’s good for him!”

Many cultivators looked at Su Zimo as though they were looking at a dying man.

Most of the cultivators in the outer sect had only heard of Su Zimo’s name and this was their first time meeting him—they had no relationship with him at all.

Although they knew that Su Zimo was being targeted, none of them pitied him.

“Hahahaha!”

Elder Teng was so angry that he laughed instead and said murderously, “Capture him and kick him out of the academy! I don’t even want to dirty my hands by killing you, lowlife!”

“You’ve already offended the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. There’s no need for me to do anything!”

“If Su Zimo dares to resist, kill him on the spot!”

Su Zimo had a calm expression and said indifferently, “Elder Teng, I’m afraid you can’t make the decision to kick me out of the sect!”

Naturally, Su Zimo had his own reasons for being so calm.

The 10,000 Year Meet was about to begin and Heaven and Earth Academy valued the ranking of the Earth Ranking so much. Unless he had committed a heinous crime, they would definitely not chase him out of the academy at this time.

Su Zimo was not worried that this matter would blow up.

In fact, he hoped that news of this matter would spread to the inner sect!

Initially, Steward Chen and Lu Wenbin were the ones who made things difficult for him. If Elder Teng’s unfair enforcement of the law caused a huge ruckus, he could find the source of the hostility and resolve the matter.

When Elder Teng saw how calm Su Zimo was, he could not help but sneer, “It’s no wonder why a lowlife like you is fearless. So, there is someone backing you!”

“Let me tell you, even if Yang Ruoxu comes today, he won’t be able to protect you!”

“Attack!”

Elder Teng hollered.

The few stewards behind him charged forward one after another.

Just as the battle was about to begin, a tremendous spirit consciousness pressure descended from midair and froze the stewards on the spot!

“Elder Teng, what happened to make you so angry?”

A voice sounded slowly.

The next moment, Yang Ruoxu flew through the air and descended in front of the Essence Spirit Pavilion.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Yang!”

Many outer sect disciples and the Disciplinary Elder bowed.

Even Elder Teng’s eyes flashed with a hint of panic as he forced a smile.

Although he was the Disciplinary Elder, he was only an outer sect Disciplinary Elder and could not control Yang Ruoxu at all.

Over the years, Yang Ruoxu cultivated at lightning speed and his status in the inner sect rose rapidly as well.

Yang Ruoxu was even sent to several Immortal Sect Selections to recruit paragon disciples from all over the place—it was clear how highly they thought of him.

Of course, Yang Ruoxu’s combat strength was not top-tier in the inner sect and could only be ranked in the top ten.

Under normal circumstances, he was not qualified to host a major event like the Immortal Sect Selection.

Many cultivators did not know why Yang Ruoxu was so highly regarded.

It was only when Fairy Mo Qing appeared at the Immortal Sect Selection a thousand years ago to protect Yang Ruoxu and even nearly fought against Zither Immortal Meng Yao that some people realized what was going on.

After the Immortal Sect Selection, many rumors about Fairy Mo Qing and Yang Ruoxu spread and it was difficult to tell if they were true.

However, if Yang Ruoxu truly had the backing of Painting Immortal Mo Qing, it would make sense why he was highly regarded in the inner sect.

The matter of Fairy Mo Qing and Yang Ruoxu did not only spread in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain—the entire Nine Firmament was shaken and the rumors became more exaggerated.

Even in the academy, many cultivators did not dare to discuss it openly and had many guesses in private.

Although Zither Immortal Meng Yao returned fruitless at the Immortal Sect Selection back then, the rumor had indeed spread.

She had already achieved her goal.
