"You're the one who obtained the Astral Sect's legacy?"
Captain Liu turned around and asked Su Zimo, who was standing on a rock not far away.
Su Zimo ignored him, as if he hadn't heard a thing.
Everyone's expression changed.
It was one thing for Su Zimo to ignore Zuo Zhuxuan and the others earlier on – they were in the sect and nothing could go wrong.
But now, even the Patriarch of the Astral Sect didn't dare to be negligent in the face of the Executioner's questioning.
And yet, Su Zimo didn't even look at them!
The Executioner represented the royal family of Great Jin. If Su Zimo was accused of looking down on the royal family and killed on the spot, no one would dare to stand up for him.
Shangguan Qian had seen the heart-wrenching sadness in Su Zimo's eyes before. Unable to bear to see him in trouble, she stepped forward and said, "Daoist Mo Ling has just failed to break through and his Dao heart has been damaged. It's quite a blow and he might not be able to get over it for the time being. Please forgive him, Captain Liu."
Captain Liu raised his brow and looked around.
Although almost all the cultivators of the Astral Sect were present, he didn't have any scruples.
He was a Executioner. Even the Patriarch of the Astral Sect wouldn't dare to touch him!
However, if he were to interrogate a fifth-level Earth Immortal to hand over the Astral Sect's legacy in front of everyone, it would more or less damage his reputation.
"It's fine."
Captain Liu waved his hand and pretended to be magnanimous. "It's normal for him to take things too hard after suffering such a heavy blow."
He paused for a moment, then changed the topic. "However, we're going to hunt down two sinners this time. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, we'll choose a few Earth Immortals from the Astral Sect to accompany us."
In front of Su Zimo's cave abode, apart from the Patriarch, Xingyu, and the other Sky Immortals, there were only Su Zimo, Shangguan Qian, Xie Tianfeng, Lin Ming, and Zuo Zhuxuan.
"The five of you will be fine. Come with me."
Commander Liu pointed at Su Zimo and said indifferently.
In fact, among these five people, his real target was only Su Zimo.
However, if he directly took Su Zimo away, it would be too obvious. He might as well take the others with him as a cover.
After a while, he had many methods to get rid of the other four and silence them.
At that time, he could take Su Zimo away, and no one would know.
Everyone from the Astral Sect would simply assume that the five of them had died outside.
Zuo Zhuxuan, Shangguan Qian, and the others could see that Commander Liu's target was Su Zimo.
However, Captain Liu's intentions were extremely profound. They never would have thought that Captain Liu would want to kill them the moment he chose them!
Xie Tianfeng hurriedly cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Commander Liu. I, Xie Tianfeng of the Xie Family, will do my best to obey your orders!"
Xie Tianfeng's idea was very simple.
Since he couldn't refuse, he might as well agree to it and leave a good impression on the Commander of the Executioner Guard.
Moreover, following Commander Liu to encircle and eliminate some sinners, it would be best if he could make a contribution.
Even if he didn't make a contribution, he could be considered to have some friendship with Commander Liu. To him and the Xie Family, there were only benefits.
Soon after, Lin Ming also quickly agreed.
Zuo Zhuxuan and Shangguan Qian's first reaction was somewhat conflicted.
However, the Executioner Guard's status was there, and it was the Commander's order. The two didn't dare to disobey.
Patriarch Xingyu's expression changed slightly when he heard Commander Liu's order.
He had lived for two hundred thousand years and had experienced countless storms and waves. He had also seen far too many plots and schemes.
He vaguely realized that if Su Zimo and the others followed, they would most likely die.
He didn't care about the deaths of Zuo Zhuxuan, Shangguan Qian, and the others.
The four of them came from large families in the Sun Moon County. They had joined the Astral Sect to gain experience, and would return to their families sooner or later.
However, Mo Ling did not have any status, and was all alone.
Now that he had obtained the Astral Sect's inheritance, if he was nurtured well, he would definitely become famous in the Divine Firmament Continent in the future. He might even have the chance to lead the Astral Sect to greatness!
It would be too much of a pity if he died outside like this.
"Commander Liu."
Patriarch Xingyu smiled and cupped his fists. "This Mo Ling is only a Rank Five Earth Immortal. Moreover, he failed to break through and his Dao Heart is damaged. His combat strength is mostly gone. He won't be of much help.
Why don't I replace him and follow — "
"There's no need for you!"
Before Xingyu could finish, Commander Liu waved his hand and interrupted him.
Commander Liu sneered and glanced at Patriarch Xingyu. "The two people we're chasing are only Earth Immortals. There's no need for a Rank Nine Heavenly Immortal like you."
"But —"
Xingyu looked worried and wanted to say something.
"It's settled then. The five of you, follow me!"
Commander Liu didn't give Xingyu a chance to speak. He pointed at Su Zimo and the others and said coldly. Then, he leaped onto the Fairy boat.
Xie Tianfeng and Lin Ming followed closely behind and jumped onto the Fairy boat.
Zuo Zhuxuan and Shangguan Qian hesitated for a moment, but also boarded.
In the blink of an eye, only Su Zimo was left sitting on the green rock.
Shifting his gaze, Commander Liu glared at Su Zimo and narrowed his eyes with a cold aura. Just as he was about to speak, Su Zimo suddenly stood up and walked towards the immortal vessel with a calm expression.
Commander Liu's expression softened. He nodded slightly and looked satisfied.
"Mo Ling, you …"
Patriarch Xingyu saw that Su Zimo's face was pale and he was in a bad state. He was worried and wanted to warn him.
"I'm fine."
Su Zimo waved it off. "I'll go with them."
Commander Liu looked at Patriarch Xingyu with a threatening gaze and asked slowly, "What else do you want to say?"
Patriarch Xingyu sighed internally and shook his head gently.
"Let's go!"
Commander Liu gestured with his eyes and another Executioner took control of the Fairy boat. Without stopping, they sped towards Star Cluster Door and disappeared from everyone's sights in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, a beam of blood light rose in the skies to the east and exploded.
"Over there, hurry!"
Commander Liu hollered.
Under the control of another Executioner, the Fairy boat sped up!
"From the looks of it, that couple should be trapped."
A Executioner said softly.
Commander Liu nodded and glanced sideways at Su Zimo who was silent in a corner of the Fairy boat. He sneered internally.
They were about to surround and kill the couple – there was no hurry to interrogate this person.
Even if he did, it would not be convenient for him to cultivate on the Fairy boat.
Once this mission was over, he would have plenty of time to interrogate this person properly.
Xie Tianfeng at the side leaned forward and asked with a fawning smile, "May I ask what the mission is this time round, Commander Liu? Is it just to surround and kill two people?"
"Let me tell you, this mission is no small matter. It was personally passed down by Princess Meng Yao of the Great Jin."
Commander Liu said coldly, "If we don't handle this well, all of us will lose our heads!"
