Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2483 - 2483 Summoned by the Sect Master

2483 Summoned by the Sect Master

Sword Immortal Yue Hua had never dreamed that such a huge misunderstanding would happen in an initially foolproof situation!

If the other party was anyone else, it would have been fine—he could not even be bothered to explain.

However, the person before him was one of the four great fairies, the Book Immortal, after all. Furthermore, she was a princess of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom!

More importantly, he was indeed in the wrong for this matter. If word of this were to spread, it would not be good for his reputation either.

When Xiao Li saw Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s terrible expression, he stood out hurriedly and tried to smooth things over. “It’s mainly because Tao Yao was by Su Zimo’s side that there was such a misunderstanding.”

“Pardon me for asking, Fairy Yun Zhu. Why is your Dao child in Heaven and Earth Academy?”

Xiao Li was still puzzled.

“I heard that Su Zimo of your academy obtained a variant Immortal Peach Tree, so I asked Tao Tao to come over and cultivate with the help of that variant immortal seedling. Is there a problem?”

Yun Zhu had an indifferent expression and had long prepared an excuse.

“T-There’s no problem.”

Xiao Li smiled embarrassedly.

Yun Zhu surveyed her surroundings and sneered, “I don’t understand. My Dao child is only a low-level Heaven Immortal and has never offended anyone. Why would Heaven and Earth Academy mobilize such a large force and even invite a Perfected Immortal to attack him?!”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s heart sank.

If word were to spread that Heaven and Earth Academy bullied the Dao child of Book Immortal Yun Zhu, it would probably attract countless criticism.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua said in a deep voice, “This has nothing to do with the academy…”

“Oh?”

Before Sword Immortal Yue Hua could finish, Yun Zhu interrupted him and asked, “In that case, it was your idea?”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua had a terrible expression.

After a moment of silence, he turned around and raised his palm, slapping Xiao Li viciously!

“Xiao Li, how many times have I told you that fellow sect mates have to trust one another?”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua hollered, “Don’t spout nonsense without evidence!”

That slap came without any warning and Xiao Li was caught off guard, receiving a solid smack.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua glared at Xiao Li and said coldly, “This mistake that you made, this joke that you’ve caused. Settle it on your own!”

Xiao Li was enraged and his lungs were about to explode.

Right from the beginning, this was Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s idea. Now, he was the one blamed for it!

Furthermore, Sword Immortal Yue Hua was clearly the one who attacked the Dao child earlier on—what did it have to do with him?

However, when Xiao Li saw Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s cold and warning gaze, a chill ran down his spine and his anger was extinguished rapidly.

Lowering his head, Xiao Li came before Yun Zhu and bowed. “Fellow Daoist Yun Zhu, I’m sorry. It’s my fault this time round. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Yun Zhu.”

Yun Zhu sneered. She quit while she was ahead and did not continue pursuing the matter.

This was Heaven and Earth Academy after all and she could not appear too domineering—she had to know her limits.

If she did not give in and was overbearing, things might backfire instead.

Right then, a crack appeared in midair.

An old man appeared with a pale expression and a sinister gaze. He exuded an aura that prevented strangers from approaching and was shuddering!

Only Immortal King experts could tear through the void!

Elder Two of the academy was in charge of discipline and was the most cold-blooded.

“Greetings, Elder Two.”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua and the other disciples of the academy bowed when they saw who it was.

Yun Zhu’s expression turned solemn as she cupped her fists towards Elder Two of the academy. “Greetings, senior.”

Elder Two nodded slightly and shifted his gaze to Xiao Li, Sword Immortal Yue Hua and the others. He said coldly, “The Sect Master already knows about what happened today and instructed me to say a few words.”

“First, Fang Qingyun colluded with outsiders and harmed his fellow sect mates. He deserved to die!”

“Second, Xiao Li slandered his fellow sect mate. He is not allowed to receive any cultivation resources of the academy, browse through the cultivation techniques and secret skills of the academy or take a single step out of the academy for the next 10,000 years!”

Xiao Li did not dare to protest and merely listened with his head lowered.

“Third, Yue Hua shall head back to reflect in seclusion. He is not allowed to exit seclusion before the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet!”

When they heard that, many academy disciples sighed and looked at Sword Immortal Yue Hua with conflicted gazes.

The words of the Sect Master of the Academy could be considered as a conclusion for today’s matter.

Not only was Fang Qingyun dead, his reputation was ruined as well!

No one was surprised that the academy would deal with Xiao Li.

However, no one expected Sword Immortal Yue Hua, a legacy disciple of the Sect Master of the Academy and the number one Perfected Immortal of the academy, to be punished as well.

Although it was not serious, Yue Hua was embarrassed in front of everyone.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua glanced at Su Zimo expressionlessly and turned to leave without saying anything.

That gaze contained too many emotions.

There was hatred, threat, warning and killing intent!

Su Zimo knew in his heart that Sword Immortal Yue Hua would definitely not let things go after suffering such a huge loss!

If there was an opportunity, Sword Immortal Yue Hua would definitely attack him once more!

However, Su Zimo was fearless.

Indeed, his current strength was inferior to Sword Immortal Yue Hua.

However, as long as he was given time and space to grow, given his cultivation speed, he would be able to surpass Sword Immortal Yue Hua before long!

Furthermore, even if Sword Immortal Yue Hua did not look for him, he would take revenge on the latter!

Back on the Dragon Abyss Star, he nearly died at the hands of Sword Immortal Yue Hua—he had not forgotten about that!

Elder Two surveyed his surroundings and looked at the disciples of the academy around him, saying in a deep voice, “Nobody is to spread word of today’s matter, especially about Fang Qingyun!”

“Don’t wash your dirty linen in public. That’s the way it should be,” Elder Chen added hurriedly.

Fang Qingyun was originally the number one of the inner sect of the academy and was ranked 10 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction. In the end, he colluded with outsiders and harmed his fellow sect mates. This was the greatest scandal in the academy in recent years.

If news of this were to spread, it would indeed affect the reputation of the academy.

Yun Zhu smirked and did not agree with Elder Two’s thoughts.

With so many people witnessing this, it was impossible to hide it.

As time passed, all sorts of rumors would naturally spread.

Elder Two looked at Su Zimo and his expression softened slightly. “Su Zimo, settle the matters here before heading to the Heaven and Earth Palace. The Sect Master wishes to see you.”

“The Sect Master wants to see me?”

Su Zimo was surprised and asked, “Elder Two, may I ask why the Sect Master summoned me?”

“I’m not sure. Go to the Heaven and Earth Palace and ask him yourself.”

Elder Two said and turned to leave.

“I’m leaving too.”

Yun Zhu glanced at Su Zimo and held Tao Yao’s palm, saying in a seemingly casual manner.

“Princess Yun Zhu, take care. I’ll send you off.”

Su Zimo advanced and sped into the distance with Yun Zhu and Tao Yao, disappearing from everyone’s line of sight before long.

A disciple of the academy looked at Su Zimo’s back view and lamented, “Fang Qingyun prides himself on being unparalleled in strategy and planning. However, he’s still far inferior compared to Senior Brother Su’s methods.”

“That’s right. Senior Brother Su is the best example of someone who can turn the tides of things with a flip of his hand!”

“He killed the number one of the inner sect and embarrassed Sword Immortal Yue Hua. Yet, he managed to escape unscathed. Such methods are admirable.”

“I wonder what’s his relationship with Book Immortal Yun Zhu.”

With the departure of Su Zimo and the others, everyone dispersed one after another. However, the discussions about today’s matter would continue for a long time in the academy.

In the secret pavilion of the academy, Old Xuan’s gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the boundless space and see the entire process.

A conflicted expression appeared in his eyes. After a long silence, he closed his eyes once more.
