Sun Moon County, Cangyu City.
The Duke of Yuanzuo did not leave after he came to investigate the death of the 13 Executioners. Instead, he rested in Cangyu City.
Although he was living in a Duke's residence now, it was still a far cry from the one he had in Qingyun City.
There was nothing he could do about it.
Ever since he met that person more than two thousand years ago, the trajectory of his fate had begun to change.
More accurately, he had fallen from the clouds to the bottom of the valley!
Normally, if he obtained the jade talisman, he would have the chance to obtain a forbidden secret manual. If he cultivated this secret manual, he would definitely be able to enter the True Self Stage and become a Perfected Immortal!
When that happened, his status among the Dukes and Princesses would rise again. He would be second only to the Crown Prince and the Zither Deity, Mengyao!
With this forbidden secret manual, his combat power would increase tremendously. He would even have the chance to become famous in the Nine Heavens!
But everything was ruined.
It was ruined by a cultivator from the lower world called Su Zimo!
He lost Qingyun County, lost his father's favor, lost an avatar, lost his former status, and almost lost everything he once had!
The Duke of Yuanzuo sat alone in the dark hall. His face was darker than the light around him.
All these years, he did not dare to stop.
Once he calmed down, he would sink into endless pain and hatred. He would unconsciously think of the power and status he once had. He would think of the cultivator from the lower world that he hated to the core!
For 2,000 years, the Duke of Yuanzuo had never given up on searching for Su Zimo's whereabouts.
But what he could not understand was that Su Zimo seemed to have disappeared into thin air. There was no trace of him at all!
Even with Feng Cantian's cultivation, he had to pay a heavy price to escape from the Great Jin.
Su Zimo had just become an Earth Immortal. How could he have left the Great Jin?
The Duke of Yuanzuo had a feeling that Su Zimo was in the Great Jin and had never left!
But if he was still in the Great Jin, where had he been hiding for the past 2,000 years?
The Executioners were everywhere in the Great Jin Celestial Nation. There was also the Great Jin's wanted order. How could he have hidden for 2,000 years?
At this moment, there was a flurry of footsteps outside the hall.
"Your, Your Highness!"
A Merciless Executioner hurriedly rushed in.
"What is it?"
Duke Yuanzuo frowned slightly.
The Executioner waved a letter in his hand and said, "Someone handed this letter to me and asked me to pass it to you so that you can open it yourself!"
"Who is it?"
Duke Yuanzuo asked.
"No, I'm not sure."
The Executioner stammered.
"Not sure?"
Duke Yuanzuo's eyes turned cold.
The Executioner was so frightened that his entire body trembled. He hurriedly explained, "I don't know what happened either. I only felt my consciousness go blank for a moment, and then this letter appeared in my hand."
"After that, a voice rang out in my mind, telling me to hand the letter to Your Highness and have Your Highness open it personally."
The Executioner's expression was still uncertain and bewildered when he spoke of this, and he was slightly bewildered. He said, "From the beginning until the end, this subordinate didn't see anyone. I asked a few more questions, yet there was no reply."
"Is that all?"
Duke Yuanzuo asked with a frown.
"Ah!"
The Executioner seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly added, "The voice also said that Your Highness would definitely be interested in the contents of the letter."
"Oh?"
Duke Yuanzuo sneered in his heart and said, "Hand it over! I want to see who is deliberately mystifying things and what is in this letter! "
The Executioner held the letter with both hands and handed it over respectfully.
Duke Yuanzuo took the letter. Just as he was about to tear off the seal, he suddenly had a thought. He handed it back to the Executioner in front of him and said calmly, "Open it for me, but don't look at the contents."
The Executioner's heart turned cold.
Naturally, he could tell that Duke Yuanzuo was worried that there was some danger hidden in the seal, and that was why he wanted him to try.
Although he could tell Duke Yuanzuo's intentions, he did not dare to resist. He could only bite the bullet, wipe off the seal, and take out a page of the letter.
Nothing unexpected happened throughout the entire process.
The Executioner was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and heaved a sigh of relief.
Duke Yuanzuo's expression did not change. He took the letter and opened it. After a casual glance, his expression changed drastically!
The Executioner secretly raised his head to take a look.
He saw Duke Yuanzuo staring at the letter in his hand. His expression kept changing and he did not know what was written in the letter.
The Executioner vaguely saw that there seemed to be a drawing on the back of the letter. However, most of it was covered by Duke Yuanzuo's palm and he could not see it clearly.
After a while, Duke Yuanzuo said slowly, "Ask Commander Gu Xing to come and see me!"
After a short pause, Duke Yuanzuo said again, "As soon as possible!"
"Yes, Duke Yuanzuo!"
The Executioner quickly turned and left.
Not long after, Commander Gu Xing of the Executioner Heavenly Guards arrived. He rushed into the main hall and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what happened?"
"Take a look."
Duke Yuanzuo passed the letter to Gu Xing.
Gu Xing took a look and his expression changed. He exclaimed, "Su Zimo! He has left Great Jin and is participating in the immortal sect selection at Panlong Mountain Range? "
"Who wrote this letter? Is the source reliable?"
Gu Xing quickly asked.
"I'm not sure who wrote it."
Duke Yuanzuo frowned and shook his head. "I can't tell if the source is reliable or not. However, the contents of the letter seem to be true and there are many details that match up. "
"The letter says that Su Zimo knows a transformation technique that allows him to change his appearance over a long period of time. That is why he was able to hide in Great Jin for more than two thousand years."
"Now, Su Zimo has transformed into a young man who has not recovered from a serious illness and is participating in the immortal sect selection."
"There is also a drawing of this young man on the back of the letter. Although the drawing is very ordinary, if you see the real person, you will be able to recognize him. “
Just as Duke Yuanzuo was talking, the letter in Gu Xing's hand suddenly burst into flames.
The two of them hurriedly cast spells to extinguish the flames on the letter but to no avail.
In the blink of an eye, the letter turned into ashes and dissipated in mid-air, leaving no trace behind.
"This …"
Duke Yuanzuo and Gu Xing looked at each other and could see the fear in each other's eyes.
The methods of the person who wrote the letter were unpredictable and far superior to the two of them!
The main hall suddenly fell silent.
After a long time, Gu Xing asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
Duke Yuanzuo clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "I'd rather believe it than not! Since we have this news, we have to go to Panlong Mountain Range to see what's going on! "
"If Su Zimo really joins the Four Immortal Sects after the immortal sect selection, it will be difficult to deal with him."
Gu Xing nodded and said, "Even if the news is wrong, we will have made a wasted trip at most. We won't lose anything."
"However, Panlong Mountain Range is no longer under Great Jin's jurisdiction. Even if we go there, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."
"Mm."
Duke Yuanzuo pondered for a while and said, "Go and gather the Executioner Guards first. I will leave after I send a message. The immortal sect selection is about to end. Let's leave immediately and not delay! "
