Even though Su Zimo looked calm and composed, Demoness Ji still noticed that something was amiss.
Her eyes shone with a strange glint but she did not say anything.
Su Zimo tapped his finger on the table to attract everyone's attention before saying slowly, "Tell me, why are you looking for my brother?"
There were no pleasantries or greetings. Su Zimo's direct questioning left Shen Meng Qi at a loss as a look of panic flashed through her eyes.
Su Zimo's gaze shifted to Shen Nan who was cowering at the side. Raising his brow, he asked, "Are you here for revenge?"
Shen Nan shuddered when Su Zimo stared at him, shaking his head like a rattle-drum.
"It was your idea …"
After a slight pause, Su Zimo shifted his gaze to Shen Meng Qi's face and asked coldly, "Or was it your idea, hmm?"
"N-No …" Shen Meng Qi shook her head instinctively.
She was a cultivator after all. Taking a deep breath, Shen Meng Qi calmed herself down and explained, "It's just that two years ago, a junior brother of our sect might have gone missing in the Country of Yan. We're here to take a look and ask the King of Yan for some information."
"Oh, right. You know the missing person as well. He's from Ping Yang Town and his name is Zhou …"
At that point, Shen Meng Qi suddenly paused.
Looking at Su Zimo, Shen Meng Qi seemed to have understood something.
Before this, she had never thought that Zhou Dingyun's disappearance would have anything to do with Su Zimo.
However, if Su Zimo was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he should have been a cultivator two years ago as well.
Furthermore, Su Zimo and Zhou Dingyun already had a feud to begin with …
The truth of the matter was about to be revealed!
Two years ago, Zhou Dingyun returned to Ping Yang Town and wanted to find trouble with Su Zimo. However, he was killed by Su Zimo and all traces of him were erased!
Shen Meng Qi's guess was not far from the truth.
Two years ago, Su Zimo was not a cultivator yet but he had the strength to kill Zhou Dingyun.
At this moment, Chen Meng Qi had already calmed down.
Su Zimo had become a cultivator just like him.
However, his Spiritual Root was not good enough, and his aptitude was not as good as his own. Moreover, he did not enter any great sect, and his future achievements would be far from his own.
In Iridescent Clouds Palace, the people he befriended were all geniuses of the cultivation world.
Su Zimo, on the other hand, had no background or influence. He could only hang around at the bottom of the cultivation world and could lose his life at any time.
In the same four years, he had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm and opened up a meridian, while Su Zimo had only reached the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.
This was the gap between them!
Moreover, Chen Meng Qi believed that as time passed, this gap would only grow bigger and bigger!
Chen Meng Qi was very sure.
His decision back then was still correct!
At this thought, Chen Meng Qi regained her confidence and calmness. She smiled at Su Zimo and said, "You've changed a lot in the past few years."
Su Zimo was about to speak when he felt a lotus root like arm around his arm. A fragrance wafted over as Demoness Ji's voice sounded in his ears, "Zimo, who is this woman?"
Chen Meng Qi frowned.
It was only at this moment that she noticed a girl in pink sitting beside Su Zimo.
More importantly, be it in terms of looks or temperament, this girl in pink was definitely superior to her!
Looking at how the girl in pink was hugging Su Zimo intimately, Chen Meng Qi felt uncomfortable, as though something that belonged to her had been snatched away.
Chen Meng Qi looked at Demoness Ji and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
"What do you think?
Demoness Ji smiled like a flower and squeezed towards Su Zimo's side. She raised her chin slightly and looked at Chen Meng Qi in a threatening manner.
Su Zimo removed Demoness Ji's arm and was about to speak when his heart skipped a beat – he felt a killing intent!
"If the King of Yan is your elder brother, does that mean that you're Su Zimo?"
When Xu You saw that Demoness Ji was about to squeeze into the embrace of the green-robed cultivator, his eyes spat fire as he interjected with a murderous aura.
Su Zimo asked instead, "So what if I am?"
"Were you the one who injured my fellow sect mates as well?" Xu You narrowed his eyes and asked again.
Su Zimo nodded. "That's right."
"Alright, hand over your life then!"
Xu You hollered and conjured hand seals with his hands, his eyes turning cold.
All of a sudden!
In a flash, Chen Meng Qi stood in front of Xu You and frowned, whispering, "Senior Brother Xu, let's forget about this. I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?"
Xu You's expression darkened. "He injured so many fellow sect mates of Iridescent Clouds Palace. Is this considered a misunderstanding?"
If this was in the past, Xu You would not refute anything that Chen Meng Qi said.
But now, Xu You was completely bewitched by Demoness Ji. He only knew that he had to kill the green-robed cultivator before him to possess Demoness Ji's body and mind!
Chen Meng Qi pursed her lips. "I'll get him to apologize to all of you right now. Senior Brother, please spare him this once."
With that said, Chen Meng Qi turned to Su Zimo and whispered, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and apologize!"
Suddenly, Su Zimo laughed with a mocking look in his eyes.
"You guys were the ones who came to provoke me and suffered. Why should I apologize?"
Frowning, Chen Meng Qi glared at Su Zimo and hollered, "Su Zimo, don't be ungrateful! I'm trying to save you!"
"Oh?" Su Zimo's smile did not diminish.
Chen Meng Qi continued, "Do you know about the five major sects? Do you know about Iridescent Clouds Palace? In the cultivation world, there are some people and factions that you can't afford to offend. Hurry up and apologize! "
At the side, Demoness Ji clapped her hands and laughed. "Sister, you're right. In the cultivation world, there are some people and factions that you can't afford to offend."
"Fufu."
Xu You laughed menacingly. "Junior Sister, you have to be sincere in your apology. I'll only spare him if Su Zimo kneels before me and kowtows three times obediently!"
In Xu You's opinion, it might be better to humiliate Su Zimo in front of the girl in pink without killing him.
"Senior Brother, isn't that a little too much?" Chen Meng Qi frowned slightly.
"Humph!"
Xu You said coldly, "This isn't over! Not only does Su Zimo have to kneel and apologize, his elder brother has to kneel before us as well! "
"Senior Brother, I'm begging you. This matter …"
"There's no room for discussion!"
Right then, Su Zimo suddenly stood up and walked towards Xu You expressionlessly.
Thinking that Su Zimo had compromised and was here to apologize, Xu You could not help but laugh smugly. "Haha, at least you know what's good for you!"
"How annoying!"
Su Zimo arrived before Xu You and said something. Suddenly, he reached out and gripped Xu You's throat with lightning speed.
He squeezed forcefully!
Crack!
The sound of bones cracking could be heard. Xu You's eyes were bloodshot and almost popped out as he looked at Su Zimo in disbelief.
He had not expected that Su Zimo would dare to attack him!
More than that, he had not expected that Su Zimo would dare to kill him!
Furthermore, he was killed in a single strike without giving him any chance!
Su Zimo released his grip and heaved a sigh of relief, murmuring softly, "Now, it's quiet."
Xu You's head tilted and he fell to the ground with a thud – he was dead!
There was a dead silence in the hall.
Complete silence.
