Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2263 - 2263 Suspicion



2263 Suspicion

Deep in the Yan Yang Palace, outside the secret ground.

“Parasol Tree Formation!”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow exclaimed in shock when she sensed the energy fluctuation released by the cave.

“What’s going on?”

Liu Ping and the others ran over with bewildered expressions.

“What are you guys doing?!”

Right then, Xie Tianhong’s expression was cold and his eyes were filled with killing intent as he hollered at the two guards not far away.

The black light in the eyes of the two guards dissipated and they suddenly shuddered, waking up.

Sensing the fluctuation from the Parasol Tree Secret Ground, their faces turned pale as they finally realized what had happened.

However, the Parasol Tree Formation had already been activated and the two of them could not close it given their capabilities.

“I-I…”

One of the guards looked at Xie Tianhong as though he wanted to explain something.

Xie Tianhong interrupted coldly, “The two of you have ulterior motives. How dare you activate the Parasol Tree Formation in advance and commit such a grave crime!”

Before his sentence was finished, Xie Tianhong suddenly reached out and flicked the foreheads of two guards with his slender fingers.

A faint scratch appeared on the foreheads of the two guards and blood oozed out gradually, growing larger!

Finally, the foreheads of the two guards slid down neatly.

Both of their heads were sliced into two by Xie Tianhong casually and their Essence Spirits died on the spot without a chance to escape!

The two guards were also Grade 9 Heaven Immortals and had not expected Xie Tianhong to suddenly attack them with such ferocity!

“If I don’t kill the two of you, how will the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom account to Heaven and Earth Academy?!”

Xie Tianhong looked at their corpses and said coldly.

This change happened extremely suddenly and Princess Scarlet Rainbow and the others were stunned.

However, Princess Scarlet Rainbow reacted quickly.

She looked at Xie Tianhong deeply before saying as she sped towards the palace, “I’ll go look for the others. Liu Ping, hurry and inform Elder Zhong and the others to come over!”

The sudden activation of the Parasol Tree Formation was indeed done by the two guards.

However, Princess Scarlet Rainbow was no fool. She could tell that there was definitely something else.

Xie Tianhong’s appearance was way too coincidental!

The moment he appeared, the two guards activated the formation.

Thereafter, Xie Tianhong killed the two of them on the spot. Rather than giving Heaven and Earth Academy an explanation, it was more like killing them to silence them!

Xie Tianhong had an indifferent expression and smiled. He did not stop Princess Scarlet Rainbow and the others from leaving.

Even if someone came and closed the Parasol Tree Formation, Su Zimo would have turned into ashes a long time ago.

Actually, there were many ways for him to kill Su Zimo in the territory of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.

However, Su Zimo was the top of the Earth Ranking after all. If he killed openly, on the one hand, it would attract the hostility of Heaven and Earth Academy. On the other hand, he would also be criticized by everyone.

If he killed silently, it would be difficult for him to reveal his methods and he would not be able to seek credit from Fairy Meng Yao.

Now, he had released a secret skill and killed Su Zimo in the Parasol Tree Secret Ground with the help of two guards. Even if anyone could see through it, they would not have any evidence and would not be able to do anything to him.

However, anyone who paid attention would be able to tell that he was the one who did it!

This was exactly what Xie Tianhong wanted to achieve!

At that time, there could be many explanations for Su Zimo’s death and he could just get someone to spread rumors everywhere without affecting the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.

On the other side.

Feng Yin who was initially resting with his eyes closed suddenly sent a voice transmission to the cultivator behind him with his spirit consciousness, “Su Zimo triggered the Parasol Tree Formation and died in the Parasol Tree Secret Ground. Spread the news and let all the factions take a look.”

“Alright!”

The Imperial Wind Temple cultivator replied and turned to leave.

“Top of the Earth Ranking?”

With a mocking expression, Feng Yin muttered to himself softly, “Su Zimo, you’ve already become the top of the Earth Ranking with the shortest lifespan in history. You’re the greatest joke in history.”

“Parasol Tree Formation!”

When Xie Qingcheng heard Princess Scarlet Rainbow’s words, his expression changed as he hurriedly took out a messenger talisman from his storage bag and tore it apart.

“I’m afraid a Perfected Immortal will be required in order to dispel the Parasol Tree Formation,”

Xie Qingcheng said and sped towards the Parasol Tree Secret Ground with Princess Scarlet Rainbow.

Before long, the two of them arrived.

In that short period of time, many cultivators had already gathered outside the Parasol Tree Secret Ground. There were people from the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom, Mountain Sea Immortal Sect and various major sects and factions.

The death of the top of the Earth Ranking in the Parasol Tree Secret Ground was a huge matter!

The cultivators who had yet to leave hurried over to watch the show.

“I heard that Su Zimo is dead?”

“It’s said that even Heaven Immortals won’t be able to survive against the sudden activation of the Parasol Tree Formation!”

“He just ascended to the top of the Earth Ranking. To think that he would encounter such a calamity.”

Many cultivators discussed softly with different expressions.

When Xie Qingcheng and Princess Scarlet Rainbow arrived, they pushed through the crowd and arrived at the front.

Xie Qingcheng looked at the two guards who died tragically before turning to Xie Tianhong. “What happened?”

“For some reason, the two of them suddenly went crazy and activated the Parasol Tree Formation. I didn’t have time to stop them.”

Xie Tianhong did not even look at Xie Qingcheng. His tone was indifferent, as though he was talking about something insignificant.

“Suddenly went crazy?”

Xie Qingcheng was still staring at Xie Tianhong’s face. Lowering his voice, he said slowly, “From what I know, your Bewitching Technique has already reached its peak!”

Xie Tianhong did not look at Xie Qingcheng and merely asked, “What are you trying to say?”

“Tianhong, why did you suddenly return to the palace in such a secretive manner without informing anyone?” Xie Qingcheng asked again.

“Why?”

Xie Tianhong raised his brow slightly. “Am I supposed to report to you when I return to the palace, Xie Qingcheng?”

Taking a deep breath of air, Xie Qingcheng did not get angry and continued asking, “You returned to the palace and suddenly appeared here. Thereafter, the Parasol Tree Formation was activated. Isn’t that way too coincidental?!”

“Are you suspecting me?”

Finally, Xie Tianhong turned around and glared at Xie Qingcheng’s beautiful face coldly.

“I wouldn’t dare to,”

Even so, Xie Qingcheng did not avoid his gaze and insisted, “I’m just asking you to explain yourself, Brother Tianhong.”

“Hmph!”

Xie Tianhong’s expression darkened as he hollered, “Xie Qingcheng, watch your tone! Think about your background and who are you talking to!”

“How dare an idle prince like you question me and ask me to explain myself?”

The Yan Yang Immortal King had many descendants. Although they were all princes and princesses, their statuses were worlds apart.

For example, Xie Tianhong presided over Spirit Cloud County. He ruled over 5,000 kilometers of territory and had a high status. However, Xie Qingcheng was merely a prince in name.

The words ‘your background’ that Xie Tianhong mentioned stung the wound in the depths of Xie Qingcheng’s heart!

Instinctively, Xie Qingcheng clenched his fists and lowered his gaze. Beneath his seemingly calm expression was immense rage and hatred!

As though she thought of something, Princess Scarlet Rainbow reached out and gripped Xie Qingcheng’s fist gently, giving him a sense of warmth.
