Liang Hao, Liu Hongyi and the other disciples of Iridescent Clouds Palace knelt on the ground, trembling. They looked at Su Zimo with fear and their palms were sweating profusely.
Shen Meng Qi stood rooted to the ground, staring blankly at Xu You who had died with grievances on the ground with a look of disbelief.
Everything happened too quickly and Shen Meng Qi's head buzzed as though it was about to explode in a chaotic manner.
"Su Zimo! H-How dare he?!"
"Is he crazy?!"
"Has he thought about the consequences?!"
At the side, Demoness Ji narrowed her eyes and licked her lips.
To be fair, Demoness Ji was the calmest among everyone present.
Although she had not interacted with Su Zimo for a long time, she had a vague understanding of Su Zimo's temperament.
This was a man who looked frail on the outside but had a ferocious heart. He was decisive in killing and would strike with a thunderous might without giving anyone a chance to catch their breath!
Even the fiend heir of Malevolent Earth Sect was killed by him. Yet, a mere cultivator of Iridescent Clouds Palace was still grumbling recklessly?
"Su Zimo, do you know what you're doing? Do you know how much trouble you've caused? "
Shen Meng Qi glared at Su Zimo agitatedly and questioned him loudly.
Su Zimo smiled, looking as though he did not care at all.
Shen Meng Qi was even angrier as she clenched her fists and shouted, "I didn't expect that you're still so immature after four years! You might be able to escape for a moment because you're a cultivator. However, have you ever thought that your brother is in the capital of Yan Country? Have you ever thought that you'll implicate your family?! "
Su Zimo glanced sideways and waved his sleeves.
A golden cloth floated over from the table in front of Su Hong, exuding a faint authority as though the emperor had descended to patrol the world.
"The emperor's edict!"
Shen Meng Qi and the others recognized the origin of the golden cloth right away and were shocked.
The status of the Emperor of Great Zhou was much higher than theirs!
Su Zimo said faintly, "My big brother has the Emperor's Edict with him. Whoever dares to have any ideas about him is going against the Emperor and the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Everyone from Iridescent Clouds Palace remained silent.
"Besides, the grudges of the Cultivators should not be blamed on mortals."
Pausing for a moment, Su Zimo swept his gaze across the Iridescent Clouds Palace crowd before finally landing on Chen Meng Qi's face. He slowly said, "Whoever dares to have designs on my big brother and break the rules first, I'm sorry … I'll slaughter his entire family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shocking baleful aura burst out from Su Zimo's body. It was almost tangible, causing people's hearts to tremble.
The temperature in the entire hall plummeted!
Liang Hao and the others trembled and hurriedly avoided Su Zimo's gaze, not daring to meet his eyes.
In Chen Meng Qi's eyes, the current Su Zimo had suddenly become extremely unfamiliar, completely becoming a person she did not know.
How was this a frail scholar? This was clearly a demon god from hell bathed in blood, a bloodthirsty and violent ancient demon!
That feeling was fleeting, as though it was an illusion.
In the cultivation world, although there were no rules set out on the surface, many cultivators had a tacit understanding that they would try their best not to implicate mortals in their grudges.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Meng Qi composed herself and continued, "Alright, even if no one comes looking for trouble with your big brother, you'll have to account for killing a disciple of Iridescent Clouds Palace!"
"From now on, you'll be on the run without a fixed residence and live in fear every day. Is that what you want?"
Su Zimo smiled and looked at Chen Meng Qi calmly, asking instead, "Who said that I'll be homeless?"
"Even now, you're still stubborn."
Chen Meng Qi looked at Su Zimo in disappointment. "Iridescent Clouds Palace is one of the five major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as you're within the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who can protect you? Which sect would dare to take you in? Su Zimo, wake up! "
Piak!
Right then, Su Zimo withdrew a long badge from his storage bag and threw it on the table beside him.
"I forgot to tell you that I'm a disciple of Misty Peak. It's no big deal for me to kill someone from Iridescent Clouds Palace. Naturally, Misty Peak will protect me."
Chen Meng Qi stared fixedly at the identity badge on the table and bit her cherry lips, stunned on the spot. She could no longer say the words that she had prepared.
Misty Peak.
After four years, Su Zimo had joined one of the five major sects, Misty Peak!
From the moment she saw Su Zimo, Chen Meng Qi had been looking down on Su Zimo with a condescending attitude.
However, all of a sudden, Chen Meng Qi realized that Su Zimo seemed to possess the same thing that she was relying on.
Her pride seemed to have become worthless.
In four years, not only did the gap between the two of them not widen, it narrowed instead.
What comforted Chen Meng Qi was that she was still superior to Su Zimo in terms of cultivation realm!
"I'm at Misty Peak. I'll take on whoever wants revenge."
Su Zimo's tone was calm, as though he was talking about something insignificant.
After a moment of silence, Chen Meng Qi looked at Su Zimo with a complicated expression. She turned back and said, "Let's go back to the sect!"
With that said, Chen Meng Qi walked towards Liang Hao and Liu Hongyi, wanting to help them up.
The two of them looked at Su Zimo carefully. When they saw that the latter was expressionless and did not object, they endured the pain and stood up.
Everyone from Iridescent Clouds Palace supported one another and left the King of Yan's bedroom.
A gentle breeze blew and a chill came over their bodies. Unknowingly, everyone had already broken out in cold sweat.
It was only when they walked out of the door that everyone heaved a sigh of relief, feeling as though they had survived a calamity!
They were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators but for some reason, everyone felt their chests tighten in front of Su Zimo. It was as though they were shrouded by an inexplicable ferocity and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Chen Meng Qi whispered to everyone from Iridescent Clouds Palace, "Leave the palace first. I'll chase after you later."
"Senior Sister Chen, d-don't go and fight that Su Zimo? W-What if … "Liu Hongyi's heart skipped a beat as he persuaded hurriedly.
The others nodded repeatedly with fearful expressions as well.
It would be fine if Chen Meng Qi won. However, if she lost, they were worried that they would be implicated and lose their lives here!
"Senior Sister Chen, spare him this once. There will be many chances to take his life in the future!" While another person persuaded, he also flattered Chen Meng Qi subtly.
"Don't worry, I'll be right back. I won't fight with him," Chen Meng Qi revealed a reassuring smile and turned to leave.
Arriving before Su Zimo, Chen Meng Qi glared at him and said coldly, "Come out. I have something to tell you."
With that, Chen Meng Qi turned and walked outside.
Chen Meng Qi's tone caused Su Zimo to frown.
"What's the matter? Why are you being so mysterious that you have to hide it from us?" Demoness Ji's gaze darted between Su Zimo and Chen Meng Qi as she asked meaningfully.
Clang! Clang!
Right then, Su Zimo rapped his fingers on the table.
"If you have anything to say, say it here."
Su Zimo did not stand up and said calmly with a lowered gaze.
Chen Meng Qi paused in her tracks with her back facing Su Zimo. Her expression changed continuously as she grit her teeth and turned around slowly.
