Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom, Royal City, Library.
A woman in plain clothes and light makeup was holding an old book. She stopped in front of a row of tall bookshelves and read attentively, flipping a page from time to time.
Sunlight shone through the window and shone on the woman's fair neck, giving it a sparkling radiance.
She had a flawless side profile and a slender figure. She was wearing a light green long dress. There was a hint of mystery and elegance in her tranquility. Just by standing there, she was enough to make one's heart beat faster.
At that moment, a series of footsteps came from the side, breaking the silence.
Soon, a young girl appeared, panting. She looked at the woman in plain clothes in front of the bookshelves and hesitated to speak, as if she was afraid to disturb her.
"What's the matter?"
The woman in plain clothes asked indifferently, her eyes still fixed on the book in her hand.
The girl said, "Princess, Su Zimo has appeared!"
"Oh?"
The woman in plain clothes was surprised when she heard the name. She looked to the side and asked, "Where is he?"
The girl said, "All these years, Princess, you asked us to keep an eye on Su Zimo. Just Now, I've received news that Su Zimo has appeared in the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range and is participating in the Immortal Sect Selection."
"Immortal Sect Selection? This person is smart. He knows to rely on the Four Major Immortal Sects."
The woman in plain clothes murmured and smiled. She asked, "What's his cultivation level now?"
"I heard that he's a Rank Six Earth Immortal. He entered the valley about ten days ago when the selection was about to end," the girl answered.
"Rank Six Earth Immortal? His cultivation speed is fast."
The woman in plain clothes was surprised.
"Fast? He's still far from the young Prince!"
The girl curled her lips and said disdainfully, "I heard that the young Prince sees this person as a rival. In my opinion, he's not even fit to be the young Prince's servant."
The woman in plain clothes smiled and shook her head. She did not refute and said, "Rank Six Earth Immortal. With his means, it won't be difficult for him to join the Four Major Immortal Sects."
"That's not necessarily true."
The girl gloated. "Su Zimo might not even be able to leave the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range alive, let alone join the Four Major Immortal Sects."
"Hmm?"
The plain-clothed woman could tell that there was a hidden meaning in the young girl's words. She turned her beautiful eyes and looked at the young girl with a questioning expression.
The girl said, "I've just received news that this Su Zimo used some sort of shapeshifting method to disguise himself. He deceived everyone and entered the valley to participate in the selection. No one recognized him at all."
"However, for some unknown reason, Duke Yuanzuo of the Dajin Celestial Nation suddenly appeared ten days later. He directly exposed his identity and asked the Four Major Immortal Sects for him."
Hearing this, the plain-clothed woman frowned slightly, deep in thought.
The young girl didn't notice the change in the plain-clothed woman's expression. She continued, "The Immortal Sect Selection is being held right now. The Four Great Immortal Sects have no way of handing over anyone."
"Commandery Prince Yuanzuo ordered the 112 Executioner's Earthly Guards that he brought with him to enter the valley and hunt down Su Zimo!"
At this point, the young girl giggled and said, "Princess, tell me, will Su Zimo still be alive?"
The plain-clothed woman frowned and asked, "Did the Four Major Immortal Sects allow more than a hundred Executioner's Earthly Guards to enter the valley to kill someone?"
"They had no choice but to allow it. These people entered in the name of participating in the Immortal Sect Selection. Since Su Zimo can participate, these Executioner's Earthly Guards can too."
The young girl said, "Moreover, the Immortal Sect Selection doesn't have any life and death restrictions. Cultivators are allowed to fight to the death."
"Where's Yunting?"
The plain-clothed woman suddenly asked.
"The young Duke is still in seclusion," the young girl said.
The plain-clothed woman put the book in her hand back on the shelf and walked outside. She said, "No need to call him. Go get ready and follow me to the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range."
"Ah?"
The young girl was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Princess, you haven't left the library for many years. Are you going to go out today because of a Level 6 Earth Immortal?"
"This Level 6 Earth Immortal is not ordinary."
The plain-clothed woman said.
The young girl frowned and hesitated. "But, but even if we rush there as fast as we can, it'll still take about ten days. By then, Su Zimo would have been killed by the Executioner's Earthly Guards. "
"Kill him?"
The plain-clothed woman shook her head slightly. "I'm afraid this person won't die so easily. I have a feeling that there might be some unforeseen changes in this Immortal Sect Selection. "
As she spoke, the plain-clothed woman had already left the library.
The young girl followed closely behind.
…
Coiling Dragon Mountain Range.
It had been ten days since the Executioner's Earthly Guards entered the valley. There were only five days left until the end of the Immortal Sect Selection.
During this period, the Executioner's Earthly Guards and Su Zimo had yet to meet face to face.
Of course, this was because Yang Ruoxu had arranged for the Executioner's Earthly Guards to be placed as far away from Su Zimo as possible.
However, everyone knew that as time passed, the two sides would inevitably collide!
Duke Yuanzuo was not in a hurry. Everything was under his control.
More than a hundred Executioner's Earthly Guards formed ten teams and advanced bit by bit. They did not miss a single corner and would even ask other cultivators in the valley for information.
When the cultivators in the valley saw the ten teams of Executioner's Earthly Guards, they naturally did not dare to challenge them. If they had any information about Su Zimo, they would tell the truth.
"Why are there so many Executioner's Earthly Guards all of a sudden?"
"I saw it too. These people are asking about a person's whereabouts. It's that youth who escaped extremely quickly and looks like he has yet to recover from his illness."
"Let's go. Since there's no hope of entering the top hundred, let's follow them and take a look!"
Many cultivators were curious when they saw that the Executioner's Earthly Guards did not have any enmity towards them. They followed behind the Executioner's Earthly Guards, hoping to watch the commotion.
Through the water screen, the millions of cultivators watching the battle could clearly see more than a hundred Executioner's Earthly Guards continue advancing. They were getting closer and closer to Su Zimo.
Two Executioner's Earthly Guards' positions overlapped with Su Zimo's. They would soon encounter each other!
These two Executioner's Earthly Guards were the remaining two — Li Xuan and Zheng Mao.
Their cultivation levels were not weak. They were both Level Eight Earth Immortals.
"This Su Zimo sure is stupid. To think he came to participate in the Immortal Sect Selection. He's basically trapped himself in a trap of his own making."
In the valley, Li Xuan chuckled. "Now that he's in the valley, he's sealed off. There's no way out. He doesn't even have a chance to escape."
"That's right. Whoever meets Su Zimo will be lucky. It'll be a great merit," said Zheng Mao.
Li Xuan curled his lips. "If you ask me, sending out a signal is superfluous. Anyone who sees him can just suppress him. What can a Level Six Earth Immortal do?"
Zheng Mao shook his head. "Let's do as His Highness instructed. Don't act on your own accord."
As the two conversed, a figure suddenly sped over from afar. He was thin and had a withered yellow face. He looked extremely frail. It was none other than Su Zimo's appearance!
Zheng Mao and Li Xuan's eyes lit up!
Tian Yuan, Yang Ruoxu, and company frowned slightly as their hearts tightened.
From their point of view, this was a huge test for Su Zimo!
This was because all the Executioner's Earthly Guards knew their goal.
As for Su Zimo, who was in the valley, he was still in the dark.
If Su Zimo had turned around and fled, he might have been able to stall for some time.
If he were to fight the two Executioner's Earthly Guards and end up in a bitter battle, he would definitely die!
