Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2272
2272 Get Lost!
Su Zimo narrowed his gaze and looked over.
On the raised round pulpit in the middle far away, Perfected Immortal Jade Toad had a furious expression and a burning gaze as he looked at the four of them with a dignified expression!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
At the same time, countless gazes on the cultivation ground looked towards them.
!!
The gazes were mixed with anger, surprise, disdain and excitement…
Instantly, Su Zimo and the other three endured unimaginable pressure!
The attention of tens of thousands of Heaven Immortals from the inner sect of Heaven and Earth Academy landed on the four of them at the same time—the pressure was imaginable.
Even Elder Zhong felt uncomfortable and blushed in embarrassment.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow and Liu Ping had just joined the inner sect and were only Grade 1 Heaven Immortals. They felt even more suffocated.
Su Zimo was expressionless.
He had experienced way more dangerous situations than this. Naturally, the pressure did not affect him much.
“Senior Brother Jade Toad.”
Elder Zhong bowed hurriedly with an apologetic expression. “The three of them are Su Zimo, Princess Scarlet Rainbow and Liu Ping. They have done great merits for the academy at this 10,000 Year Meet.”
“The three of them have just joined the inner sect and don’t know much about the rules. If they have offended you, Senior Brother Jade Toad, please calm down and forgive them.”
Elder Zhong recounted the background of Su Zimo and the other two while apologizing profusely. He was extremely considerate and polite.
“Oh?”
Perfected Immortal Jade Toad’s expression was still cold as ice as he asked instead, “So, those who achieve great merits for the academy at the 10,000 Year Meet are allowed to disregard etiquette and rules?”
“Wha—”
Elder Zhong was speechless.
That was not what he meant at all—he did not expect Perfected Immortal Jade Toad to hold on to this matter.
“I’m here to impart the Dao and I welcome all fellow juniors to listen in. However, the few of you are chattering incessantly below and making a ruckus. You’re way too brazen and don’t know how to control yourselves!”
Perfected Immortal Jade Toad’s tone turned colder.
“You think you can be arrogant just because you’ve done great merits at the 10,000 Year Meet?! This is the inner sect, not your outer sect!”
A Grade 6 Heaven Immortal sneered.
“So, he’s the top of the Earth Ranking. It’s no wonder why he’s so arrogant and conceited.”
Another voice sounded from the crowd. Su Zimo found it familiar. However, the crowd was noisy and he could not recall who it was right away.
“So what if he’s at the top of the Earth Ranking? Even after joining the inner sect, he’s only a Grade 1 Heaven Immortal. In the inner sect, he’s everyone’s junior brother!”
“That’s right, even the top of the Earth Ranking has to bow obediently and address us as senior brothers when he sees us!”
A commotion broke out in the crowd.
Given Perfected Immortal Jade Toad’s status in Heaven and Earth Academy, many inner sect disciples would naturally choose to stand on his side.
Even if some Heaven Immortals felt that this matter was a little blown out of proportions, they chose to remain silent.
Under the lead of Fang Qingyun and the others, many cultivators began to criticize Su Zimo loudly.
“S-Sorry.”
Liu Ping’s face was flushed red and blood was still flowing from his ears. With a guilty expression, he bowed repeatedly and apologized, sweating profusely.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow was also ashamed as she lowered her head, wishing that she could find a hole to hide in.
It was still alright for Elder Zhong. After all, he had cultivated in the inner sect for many years and many inner sect disciples were familiar with him. As such, there were not many attacks.
However, Su Zimo and the other two had only just joined the inner sect. Right now, they were almost universally condemned!
Su Zimo frowned slightly in frustration.
He felt that something was amiss.
While the four of them conversed below, their voices were not loud and could not be considered as a clamor nor was it to the extent of chattering endlessly.
The cultivation ground was extremely spacious and could accommodate tens of thousands of people. They were at the back of the cultivation ground and nobody would notice the four of them unless they listened carefully.
Furthermore, the four of them were not the only ones conversing in the cultivation ground. Many cultivators were discussing softly and exchanging their insights.
Wasn’t the reaction of Senior Brother Jade Toad a little overboard if he was enraged just because the few of them were conversing?
However, Su Zimo had just joined the inner sect and did not know anything about it. He did not know the rules of the cultivation ground either.
There was no way he could stand out and fight against a legacy disciple of the academy and a Perfected Immortal just because of his intuition.
Perfected Immortal Jade Toad said slowly, “The cultivation ground does not welcome people like you who have no respect for the academy’s seniors and those who are imparting the Dao.”
Pausing for a moment, he hollered coldly, “Get lost!”
When he heard that, Su Zimo suddenly felt indignant. His expression turned cold and his aura changed drastically!
Sensing the change in Su Zimo, Elder Zhong was shocked and grabbed his arm hurriedly. In a flash, he blocked in front of Su Zimo.
“Zimo, don’t be reckless!”
Elder Zhong hurriedly sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness.
In the Yan Yang Palace, he had witnessed Su Zimo’s methods and temperament. Su Zimo was truly decisive to kill and in a fit of anger, he could spill blood everywhere!
But now, he was facing Perfected Immortal Jade Toad, a legacy disciple of the academy—this was somebody he mustn’t go against!
“Forget it.”
Elder Zhong sent a voice transmission, “We were in the wrong first after all. Let’s go.”
Although conversing in the cultivation ground was not a big deal, they were disadvantaged in terms of logic as well. If Su Zimo were to have a direct conflict with a legacy disciple, it would be difficult for him to advance in the inner sect in the future!
Actually, Elder Zhong knew very well that even if they left now, Su Zimo and the other two would not have a good time in the inner sect from now on.
The three of them had just joined the inner sect but they were scolded by a legacy disciple in front of tens of thousands of inner sect disciples—it was a complete disgrace.
No matter who came to impart the Dao in the future, as long as the three of them entered the cultivation ground, they would attract strange gazes and ridicule from others.
“Sigh.”
Elder Zhong sighed internally.
He was puzzled as to why Senior Brother Jade Toad would suddenly fly into a rage and target Su Zimo and the other two—it was almost as though he was making things difficult for them.
It made no sense because Perfected Immortal Jade Toad did not know Su Zimo and the other two at all.
“Let’s go. It’s all my fault.”
Liu Ping tugged at the corner of Su Zimo’s clothes as well and said in self-blame, looking aggrieved and ashamed.
“Get lost from the cultivation ground!”
“Don’t affect our learning! You’re not welcome in the cultivation ground!”
A series of shouts sounded once more.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head in silence.
She had never suffered such humiliation in the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.
However, this was Heaven and Earth Academy. She was a princess in the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom but here, she was an ordinary inner sect disciple.
She had to endure all the grievances no matter what they were!
Su Zimo remained silent and closed his eyes, calming himself down. His initially clenched fists gradually relaxed as well.
“He’s a frog in the well from the lower worlds after all and doesn’t know any etiquette!”
Perfected Immortal Jade Toad sneered, “Why? Why aren’t you scramming yet, lowlife? Are you indignant?”
Under the persuasion of Elder Zhong and the others, Su Zimo was initially about to leave. However, he suddenly stopped in his tracks when he heard that.
Under normal circumstances, as a legacy disciple, it was impossible for Perfected Immortal Jade Toad to know him.
From the reaction of Perfected Immortal Jade Toad, it was clear that he knew his identity and background!
At the same time, Su Zimo finally recalled who the first few mocking voices in the crowd were—Tang Peng!
The reason for this matter gradually became clearer.
If they were the ones who made the mistake first and were chased out of the cultivation ground, it would be understandable.
However, if someone targeted him intentionally, Su Zimo would definitely not tolerate it!
