Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2417
2417 Blame
Lin Luo charged into the crowd with a cold sword beam and swerved left and right. Relying on a mysterious footwork, although there were many people in the Broken Army Fiend Bandits, they could not hurt her at all.
In less than 15 minutes, more than half of the nine bosses were killed by her, leaving only three bosses with ugly expressions and thoughts of retreating.
Lin Luo did not attack blindly and start a massacre. Instead, she targeted the nine bosses of the Broken Army specifically.
Although the Broken Army Fiend Bandits did not suffer much damage as a whole after the battle broke out, the nine bosses were scared out of their wits by the killing!
The bearded burly man had just noticed the commotion on Su Zimo’s side. When he saw Su Zimo walking over as well, a decisive look flashed through his eyes as he ordered in a deep voice, “Retreat!”
!!
Before his sentence was finished, the other two bosses turned and fled.
The remaining Broken Army Fiend Bandits had the advantage in numbers. However, when they saw the three bosses flee far away, they naturally did not dare to linger and dispersed.
Lin Luo wielded her sword and smiled as she looked at the fleeing fiend bandits without any intention of chasing after them.
It was unsuitable for her to create unnecessary trouble for this trip to Langfeng City.
Lin Luo returned to the warship of Black Mirror Sect and handed the sword in her hands back to Liang Yu who was stunned on the spot. She smiled and said, “Senior Brother Liang, thank you for your Dharmic treasure. It’s truly sharp.”
Instinctively, Liang Yu reached out and wanted to receive the sword. However, he seemed to have thought of something and his arm trembled before retracting.
He smiled embarrassedly. “J-Junior Sister Su, if you like this sword, please accept it.”
Lin Luo smiled and handed the sword to Liang Yu. Turning around, she walked towards Su Zimo and said, “Senior brothers, I’ll have to trouble you guys to clean up the battlefield.”
“It’s only right.”
Liang Yu said hurriedly, “I’ll tidy up everything on the battlefield in a while and send them to your room, Junior Sister Su.”
Lin Luo returned to her room with Su Zimo and pondered for a moment. “These Broken Army Fiend Bandits don’t seem like they’re from the Fiend Domain.”
“Yes.”
Su Zimo nodded as well. “Although their methods are violent, their cultivation techniques and secret skills are similar to immortal sects.”
Lin Luo said, “Let’s ignore it. We’ll arrive at Langfeng City in a few days. At that time, we’ll activate the teleportation formation and leave.”
Pausing for a moment, she sighed gently with a hint of worry on her face. “Initially, I had plans to hide my identity and take part in the Immortal Peach Banquet to obtain a good ranking in the Heaven Ranking.”
“If I can enter the top ten of the Heaven Ranking, the rewards will definitely be amazing. In fact, I might even get the chance to taste the immortal peaches that bloom and bear fruit once every 100,000 years.”
Su Zimo asked, “So, why did you give up on that plan?”
“Father’s injuries have yet to recover. It’s better for me to take the Nine Orifices Reversion Pill and Saraca Fruit back as soon as possible.”
Su Zimo nodded with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
The two of them continued cultivating in seclusion in their rooms. The interception of the Broken Army Fiend Bandits was just a small interlude for them and neither of them took it to heart.
After that incident, no one from Black Mirror Sect dared to disturb them.
Even Liang Yu who was initially solicitous did not dare to pester Lin Luo anymore.
A few days later, everyone arrived at Langfeng City.
Standing on the warship and looking at the immortal city from afar, one could only see the city wall turn into a black line that extended to both sides on the horizon. There was no end in sight and one could imagine how massive the immortal city was.
According to Lin Luo, this immortal city could be considered as one of the largest factions of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain and all the Perfected Immortals in the world were gathered here.
Indeed, an immortal city as such should possess such grandeur.
In terms of the number of Perfected Immortal experts, Langfeng City far surpassed heaven-grade sects and factions such as Heaven and Earth Academy and the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.
For example, Heaven Immortal experts were nothing in Langfeng City.
Furthermore, the paragons and experts of the other four immortal cities would be gathered at the Immortal Peach Banquet that was held once every 100,000 years.
The group from Black Mirror Sect was way too ordinary in Langfeng City and it was difficult for others to notice them.
However, they were still targeted the moment they entered Langfeng City!
This was the first time that everyone from Black Mirror Sect had come to Langfeng City. When they saw the novel sights in the city, the crowd and the lively and spacious streets, they were extremely curious.
There were countless unique treasures in the stalls on both sides and everyone was dazzled.
Su Zimo and Lin Luo were the only ones with calm expressions, as though they were not concerned about everything.
Lin Luo came from a noble background and her parents ruled over an Immortal Kingdom. She was no stranger to the surroundings and was naturally not interested.
However, Su Zimo was thinking about something else.
He had already realized that his group was being targeted!
Although his cultivation realm was not high, his spirit perception was strong and he could still capture the faint hostility lurking in the surroundings in this crowded street.
However, Su Zimo could not determine their identities.
Logically speaking, he and Lin Luo had just arrived at the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain and had just entered Langfeng City. They did not know anyone at all and there was no reason for them to attract strong foes.
Could it be that the enemies were not here for them, but Black Mirror Sect instead?
“We’re being followed.”
Su Zimo sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness to remind Lin Luo.
“Mmm?”
Lin Luo was slightly stunned.
People came and went in Langfeng City and spirit consciousnesses were chaotic and intertwined. Even if they released their spirit consciousnesses, it would be difficult to detect anything.
Therefore, she did not notice it at all. It was only when Su Zimo reminded her that she gradually became nervous with a grim expression.
Right then, not far ahead, an armored squad of immortal soldiers walked towards the group from Black Mirror Sect with huge strides and an aggressive aura—it was clear that they were hostile!
Su Zimo swept his spirit consciousness and frowned.
The immortal soldiers were all Grade 9 Heaven Immortals and they exuded a steely killing intent—they were clearly much more troublesome to deal with than the Broken Army Fiend Bandits they had encountered previously!
“It’s the Imperial Army guards of Langfeng City!”
“Isn’t that Assistant General Kong Han?”
“What happened to alarm the Imperial Army? These people are going to suffer. I heard that Kong Han is cruel. Anyone who falls into his hands will suffer a fate worse than death.”
“Make way, make way!”
A few immortal soldiers shouted and the surrounding cultivators avoided them with wary expressions.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Right then, figures appeared one after another from the buildings, corners and alleys on both sides of the streets. Expressionlessly, they wielded gigantic ballistae that shone with spirit light and were loaded with arrows, all aimed at Su Zimo and the others.
The expressions of everyone from Black Mirror Sect changed and they felt chills run down their spines!
Even Su Zimo felt a sense of danger.
The arrows that shone with spirit light were clearly specially crafted Dharmic treasures. Any single ballistae arrow was not weaker than a supreme divine power!
“What’s going on?”
Liang Yu stood out hurriedly and forced a smile at the surrounding immortal soldiers. “Exalted Immortals, is there some misunderstanding?”
“Misunderstanding?”
The man in the lead sneered and his gaze lingered on Su Zimo and Lin Luo for a moment with a killing intent in his eyes.
The person was skinny with triangular eyes and an aquiline nose. His name was Kong Han and he was an Assistant General of Langfeng City.
Kong Han said sternly, “I suspect that you guys are fiend bandits impersonating as cultivators attending the Immortal Peach Banquet to kill wantonly! It’s an unforgivable crime!”
His words caused an uproar!
