Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2501 - 2501 Bird in a Cage

2501 Bird in a Cage

Yaksha was a Sanskrit word. The translation of it mentioned that they were extremely agile, could bite ghosts and had unfathomable movements.

According to Xie Ling, there was a lake in the center of the ancient city where the malevolent blood qi was condensed—that was the source.

Su Zimo left the place and headed to the center of the ancient city to check things out.

“You guys rest here. I’ll go out for a walk.”

Su Zimo informed Xie Qingcheng.

“Alright.”

Xie Qingcheng nodded.

After arriving at the ancient city, there was no danger for the time being without the pursuit of the Asura race and the other undead.

Su Zimo left the residence and headed towards the center of the ancient city.

As he ventured deeper, the malevolent blood qi in the surroundings intensified and turned richer. The radius that his eyesight and spirit consciousness could detect was shrinking continuously.

Relying on his spirit perception, Su Zimo was fearless and sped forward in huge strides.

About an hour later, he gradually slowed down.

Suddenly, Su Zimo leaped up and stood in midair. Looking down, he could see a gigantic lake not far ahead.

An endless malevolent blood qi was spreading out from the lake.

In the middle of the lake, a small lone island could vaguely be seen through the blood fog.

If he was not wrong, the Spirit Cloud Seal was on it.

Su Zimo descended once more and arrived at the edge of the lake. Gathering his vision, he looked into the lake.

The lake was dark with a strange blood glint. He could not see anything and did not know what was in the lake.

Su Zimo took out a useless heaven-grade Dharmic treasure from his storage bag and channeled his spirit consciousness to control it to speed towards the front of the lake.

The moment the heaven-grade Dharmic treasure entered the range of the lake, a few streams of malevolent blood qi gathered, as though they had formed a gigantic beast head that emitted a violent and terrifying aura!

He was extremely decisive and severed his spirit consciousness connection to the heaven-grade Dharmic treasure.

That single glance sent chills down Su Zimo’s spine!

If he had not severed his spirit consciousness from the heaven-grade Dharmic treasure, the beast head might have even chased after him!

It seemed like Xie Ling was right—it was impossible to cross the lake.

At the very least, given his current cultivation, he could not defend against the devouring of the malevolent blood qi at all.

Above the ancient city, the six Perfected Immortals of Divine Firmament Palace noticed the commotion as well.

Divine Swamp smiled gently. “Su Zimo is rather cautious and reacts quickly. It was no wonder why he was able to avoid Jue Wuying’s assassination attempt.”

Fairy Divine Crane suddenly frowned. “He’s in trouble!”

She was not the only one. The other five Perfected Immortals had already noticed that six figures were splitting into different directions in the blood fog and advancing towards Su Zimo’s location, getting closer and closer!

“I can understand why Song Ce and Zong Feiyu want to deal with Su Zimo. After all, this lad has a deep feud with the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect’s Zither Immortal.”

Perfected Immortal Divine Rainbow frowned. “However, Lie Xuan, Xie Tianhuang, Yue Hai and Heaven Immortal Luo Yang don’t seem to have any grudges with this lad, right?”

Divine Flames chuckled. “Don’t forget, that lad has the Jade Pure Jade Manual with him. Even I’m tempted, let alone the four of them. However, it’s not convenient for me to attack because of my status.”

If Su Zimo’s Jade Pure Jade Manual was snatched away in a fight of the same cultivation realm, it would be because he was not skilled enough and he could not blame anyone.

However, as Perfected Immortals, if they attacked Su Zimo, it would be bullying the young—Divine Firmament Palace could not afford to lose face like this.

“Pfft, pfft. Six of the top ten on the Heaven Ranking Prediction are ganging up on Su Zimo of Heaven and Earth Academy. That lad’s going to be eliminated real soon.”

Divine Cloud crossed his arms and looked like he was watching a show.

Divine Rainbow pouted as well. “By the looks of it, even if it was Yun Ting or Qin Gu, it would be difficult for them to escape unscathed.”

…

Su Zimo looked at the lake before him thoughtfully and hesitated.

Suddenly!

His heart skipped a beat as he narrowed his gaze and turned around slowly. He looked into the depths of the blood fog before him and said, “Since you guys are already here, show yourselves.”

Piak! Piak! Piak!

Heaven Immortal Luo Yang was the first to walk out. He clapped and looked at Su Zimo meaningfully. “Su Zimo, I didn’t expect to see you here again after parting at the Dragon Abyss Star!”

Immediately after, Song Ce appeared with an Execution Saber in his hands. He was filled with a murderous aura as he glared at Su Zimo, ready to kill at any moment!

“My, what a crowd.”

The redheaded Xie Tianhuang appeared slowly with a cynical smile on his face as well.

A blazing light tore through the blood fog and Lie Xuan walked over slowly.

Su Zimo looked at the five Heaven Immortals who were on the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction with a calm expression, not surprised at all.

“Su Zimo, do you have any last words?”

Song Ce asked coldly.

Su Zimo did not reply and looked into the depths of the blood fog on the other side. “Zong Feiyu, how long are you prepared to stay inside?”

“Interesting.”

After a moment of silence, a chuckle sounded from the blood fog.

Zong Feiyu looked at Su Zimo and revealed himself slowly, saying in surprise, “You actually discovered my tracks?”

When he saw that everyone was already present, Su Zimo asked calmly, “How? Are you guys prepared to attack together?”

Yue Hai was the first to take a step back and spread his hands. “I’m just here to join the crowd. You guys can go ahead.”

Indeed, he was tempted by the Jade Pure Jade Manual. However, there were five people ranked above him and the situation was chaotic—he did not want to get involved for the time being.

Only, the positions of the six of them were rather particular and formed a semi-encirclement formation, sealing all of Su Zimo’s escape routes.

Although Yue Hai expressed that he would not interfere, his position still blocked one of Su Zimo’s escape routes.

If Su Zimo chose to escape in his direction, it would be sending himself to his door and Yue Hai could only accept it with a smile.

In the eyes of the six of them, Su Zimo was already a bird in a cage.

Song Ce spoke, “The Jade Pure Jade Manual is with this person. However, I think we should kill him first before deciding who it should belo—”

Before Song Ce could finish, his expression changed!

Su Zimo’s figure had already vanished from the spot.

A chilling killing intent enveloped him instantly.

When Su Zimo reappeared, he was already behind Song Ce. Without hesitation, he reached out and slapped Song Ce on the head!

Song Ce was from the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and the two of them were irreconcilable to begin with.

He had no intention of letting Song Ce off since the latter wanted to kill him!

That move had indeed exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Nobody expected Su Zimo to not escape right away despite being surrounded by the six of them and even dare to attack them first!
