Outside the courtyard, dozens of Heavenly Immortals filed in.
"Xie Yan?"
Xie Qingcheng frowned slightly.
The leader of this group of cultivators was Duke Yan who was highly regarded by the Flaming Sun Immortal King. Behind him was the reincarnated Perfected Immortal who was predicted to be number four on the Heaven Ranking, Lie Xuan!
"You know where Brother Su is?"
Xie Qingcheng asked in a deep voice.
"Of course."
A gloating expression flashed past Duke Yan's face as he laughed. "Your Brother Su was forced into the Blood Malevolent Lake by Zong Feiyu and is already dead!"
"Ah!"
Heavenly Immortal Yue Ying and the others were shocked as they exclaimed.
Xie Qingcheng clenched her fists instinctively and gritted her teeth. "That's impossible! Brother Su had a teleportation talisman. Even if he couldn't win, he could have escaped from the Shura battlefield. "
"What's impossible about that?"
Duke Yan sneered. "Zong Feiyu personally attacked. How could Su Zimo, someone who is predicted to be number 24 on the Heaven Ranking, have a chance of escaping? Furthermore, Brother Lie witnessed this personally. "
Lie Xuan raised his head and looked at Duke Yan in front of him. He did not say anything, as though he agreed to it.
Although Duke Yan had not been present, he had already told Duke Yan everything that had happened.
Zong Feiyu was not the only one who forced Su Zimo into the Blood Malevolent Lake!
Duke Yan knew that but he said that on purpose. His intention was to divert the blame to Princess Yu Yan and Zong Feiyu.
Lie Xuan could tell what Duke Yan was thinking but he could not expose it.
However, he did not want to lie either, which was why he remained silent.
"Brother Su … is dead?"
Xie Qingcheng's eyes reddened as she shook her head slightly, still unwilling to believe it.
Heavenly Immortal Yue Ying sighed softly. "Zong Feiyu is a reincarnated Perfected Immortal and is predicted to be number three on the Heaven Ranking. If he attacked, Su Zimo would indeed not stand a chance."
Another person said, "Su Zimo has a deep feud with Zither Immortal Mengyao and Zong Feiyu is from the same sect as her. It makes sense for him to attack Su Zimo."
Duke Yan raised his head slightly. "Qingcheng, I'm here to give you a chance."
"What do you mean?"
Xie Qingcheng frowned.
Duke Yan said, "Su Zimo, your subordinate, was already killed by Zong Feiyu. If you want to avenge him, you can only work with me. After all, I have Brother Lie by my side to help me. I can fight against Zong Feiyu."
"Naturally, Qingcheng, you should stop seizing seals. If you help me obtain the Lingxia Seal, you will also have a position under my command in the future. "
Xie Qingcheng was so angry that she laughed.
When he mentioned that Su Zimo had died, the gloating expression on Duke Yan's face made him feel disgusted.
Now, Prince Yan's condescending tone made him feel even more conflicted!
Duke Yan made it sound nice. The two of them would join forces to take revenge for Su Zimo.
But in reality, Duke Yan wanted him to submit to him!
"As for Brother Su's matter, I will naturally seek justice for him."
Xie Qingcheng waved her hand and said impatiently, "As for the alliance, there's no need to mention it again. You can leave now!"
Hearing this, Duke Yan's expression instantly darkened. He said icily, "Xie Qingcheng, you really don't know what's good for you!"
"What did you say?!"
Xie Qingcheng glared at him angrily.
Duke Yan sneered, "I'm giving you face by asking you to join forces with me! Otherwise, do you think a lowly servant like you is worthy of joining forces with me? "
Those words were extremely grating and even Lie Xuan frowned slightly.
Xie Qingcheng's blood surged and she was enraged.
When Heaven Immortal Yue Ying saw that the situation was bad, she hurried forward and grabbed Xie Qingcheng tightly, whispering, "Duke, calm down. Don't be rash!"
"Why? You want to fight me?"
Duke Yan raised his brow slightly. "If you dare to touch me, I don't mind crippling you right now and chasing you out of the battlefield of Shura!"
Xie Qingcheng panted slightly and the rage in her eyes gradually subsided.
Only by tolerating what others could not tolerate could one achieve what others could not!
That was what his mother said to him before she passed away and he had always remembered it in his heart!
If not for that tolerance, he would not have been able to survive until now.
Lie Xuan looked at Xie Qingcheng deeply and thought to himself, "How ambitious does this lad have to be to be able to endure this humiliation?"
Be it in terms of talent, bloodline or status, Duke Yan surpassed Xie Qingcheng.
However, in Lie Xuan's opinion, Xie Qingcheng might not be inferior to Duke Yan in the future.
In fact, he even had a feeling that this beautiful Duke Yan before him might truly be able to stand out from the other heirs of the royal family one day!
"Very good."
When Duke Yan saw Xie Qingcheng lowering her head and not daring to meet his gaze, he nodded with a satisfied expression.
He looked at the dozens of Heaven Immortals behind Xie Qingcheng and said, "Your master is unwilling to submit. I'll give you guys a chance now. Either stand over right now or I'll send you guys out of the battlefield of Shura!"
The dozens of Heaven Immortals looked at Xie Qingcheng instinctively.
Xie Qingcheng was expressionless and silent.
He could already tell that Duke Yan was here to take over his subordinates to replenish the Heaven Immortals that he had lost earlier.
"Duke Yan, I'm sorry."
Heaven Immortal Yue Ying was the first to stand out. "A fine bird chooses a fine tree to nest in …"
"Scram!"
Xie Qingcheng cut him off without even looking at him.
Heaven Immortal Yue Ying was snubbed and shrugged slightly before walking towards Duke Yan.
Before she even got close, Heaven Immortal Yue Ying bowed and said, "I've heard a lot about Duke Yan but never had the chance to follow you. Now that I've been recognized by you, I'm Yue Ying and I'm willing to serve you!"
"Good, good, good!"
Duke Yan laughed out loud.
With Heaven Immortal Yue Ying being the first to stand out, nine more people stood on Duke Yan's side one after another.
In the blink of an eye, there were only six people left behind Xie Qingcheng.
"Fufu, there are indeed six people who don't know what's good for them. “
Duke Yan chuckled softly.
"You guys …"
It was only at this moment that Xie Qingcheng turned around and looked at the six people beside her. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Duke, let's go."
One of the Level 9 Heaven Immortals among the six said, "There's no chance for us to obtain the Spirit Dawn Seal."
"That's right."
Another person said, "Duke, you've saved my life before. I'll definitely not abandon you. However, we'll only be humiliating ourselves if we stay behind. "
Xie Qingcheng hesitated and struggled for a long time before her gaze turned resolute once more.
He still remembered what Su Zimo reminded her before she left.
"There's still more than 20 days before the seal. If anything happens to me during this period of time, don't panic. Don't give up until the very last moment!"
At that time, Xie Qingcheng did not understand what he meant.
Now that she thought about it, Su Zimo seemed to have predicted that something would happen.
There was a deeper meaning to those words as well.
Furthermore, Su Zimo had reminded her twice that she must not give up until the very last moment!
At that thought, Xie Qingcheng said, "Brothers, thank you for your loyalty and trust. Crush your teleportation talismans and leave this place."
"As for me, I'll just wait here since I still have more than 20 days left."
