According to Little Fatty, after the battle at Dongling Valley three years ago, monkey went berserk and almost lost his rationality when he heard about Su Zimo, nearly causing a huge disaster. Thankfully, senior crane was there to protect him.
However, monkey was disheartened and chose to leave Misty Peak with Linghu following behind.
During that period of time, little crane had an extremely good relationship with monkey and Linghu. If not for senior crane stopping it, little crane would have left with them.
To Su Zimo, it might not be a bad thing for monkey to leave Misty Peak.
Monkey had an unruly nature and was not restrained. Without him by his side, he would definitely cause trouble – it was better for him to return to the mountains.
Given monkey's capabilities and Linghu, there should not be any danger for them to travel together.
Su Zimo, Xiaoning, Little Fatty, Leng Rou and Ji Chengtian were about to leave the palace when they caught sight of a girl in pink standing at the entrance of the palace. She wore a veil and looked very quiet, as though she was waiting for someone.
Little Fatty and the others had some impression of this girl in pink. She seemed to have a powerful background for coming with Chief Steward Gu Xi to watch the sect competition.
"Bro, she should be looking for you, right?" Little Fatty asked softly.
Previously, at the end of the sect competition, when the Blood Crow King made things difficult and even the emperor remained silent, Gu Xi stepped in and protected Su Zimo – everyone had witnessed that scene.
Naturally, Su Zimo knew that the girl in pink was Demoness Ji. However, he did not explain.
Arriving before Demoness Ji, Su Zimo stood still and cupped his fists. "Thank Senior Gu for saving my life on my behalf."
"Humph."
Demoness Ji harrumphed softly and rolled her eyes at Su Zimo, pretending to be angry. "You should thank me if you want to! If I hadn't pleaded for you, do you think Auntie Gu would have bothered with you? "
Little Fatty and the others had strange expressions as they looked at Su Zimo and Demoness Ji.
Demoness Ji's tone did not sound like she was blaming him. Instead, it sounded like she was rebuking him.
And from what he heard, the relationship between the two of them was not simple!
Leng Rou frowned slightly and said nothing.
"Thank you, Demoness Ji … Cough, Miss." Su Zimo almost said the word 'demoness', but he quickly corrected himself.
She giggled and pondered for a moment before continuing, "The reason why I'm here is to tell you something. Misty Peak cannot afford to offend that person from the Blood Crow Palace. After entering the ancient battlefield, it's best that you don't return to the Great Zhou Dynasty. It would be best if you could leave the Tianhuang Northern Region. "
Su Zimo frowned.
Demoness Ji reminded, "Think about the attitude of the Emperor of Great Zhou today and you'll understand some things."
In other words, Demoness Ji was implying that even the Emperor of Great Zhou was unwilling to offend Blood Crow Palace. Therefore, she was trying to persuade Su Zimo to make use of the opportunity of entering the ancient battlefield to leave the North Region of Tianhuang Mainland!
"What's the background of Blood Crow Palace?" Su Zimo could not help but ask.
Demoness Ji replied, "There are a total of nine forbidden grounds in Tianhuang Mainland. Be it humans or demons, anyone who enters the forbidden grounds will definitely die! There are two of the nine forbidden grounds in the Tianhuang Mainland's North Region alone. The founder of Blood Crow Palace should have come from one of the forbidden grounds. "
Nine forbidden grounds!
Su Zimo and the others were shocked. Although this was the first time they were hearing of that title, they felt chills run down their spines.
How terrifying was this forbidden ground if even the Great Zhou Dynasty was unwilling to offend a random person from the nine forbidden grounds?
"That's all I have to say,"
Demoness Ji brushed past Su Zimo and paused for a moment before sending a voice transmission, "If you make use of this opportunity to join the fiend sects, you'll be able to escape this calamity."
With that, she left.
Ji Chengtian and the others had terrible expressions as they frowned in deep thought.
They were no fools. Even if Demoness Ji did not mention it, they could tell that Blood Crow Palace's background was not simple!
For example, Su Zimo, Little Fatty and the others had not joined the sect for long and did not have deep feelings for Misty Peak. Knowing that the sect could be destroyed, there was no need for them to waste their time in the sect.
"Bro, what do you think?"
On the way back, Little Fatty could not help but ask.
Su Zimo did not reply.
If they wanted to leave the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, or rather, the Tianhuang Mainland's North Region, entering the ancient battlefield was indeed the best opportunity.
After a period of time, the experts of the various factions and sects of Tianhuang Mainland would use their supreme Dharmic powers to open up a passageway that connected to the ancient battlefield.
As long as Su Zimo and the rest managed to find another passageway within a year, they would be able to leave the Great Zhou Dynasty and even be teleported to the Southern Region, Western Region, or even somewhere in the Middle Continent of Tianhuang Mainland.
However, Su Zimo was hesitant.
He was different from others.
It was not that he had deep feelings for Misty Peak. He was merely worried that his departure would implicate his elder brother, Su Hong of Yan Country.
If even the Great Zhou Dynasty was unwilling to offend Blood Crow Palace, the imperial edict would naturally not be able to protect Su Hong.
He was someone that Blood Crow Palace had to kill!
The people of Blood Crow Palace were evil in their ways, capable of killing every single living being in a city without sparing a single fowl or dog!
If they could not find his tracks, there was a high chance that Blood Crow Palace would trace the clues back to Su Hong in a fit of rage. That was something that Su Zimo did not wish to see!
Before long, Su Zimo and the others returned to Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop.
The moment he arrived, Su Zimo caught sight of someone unexpected.
Shen Meng Qi.
Su Zimo frowned, not knowing her intentions.
"Bro, ignore her."
Su Xiaoning knew about what happened in Ping Yang Town back then and naturally did not treat Shen Meng Qi well.
"Zimo."
When she saw Su Zimo and the others walking over, Shen Meng Qi rushed forward with an uneasy expression. Revealing a smile, she called out.
"What's the matter?"
Su Zimo asked with a calm expression.
"Zimo, it's like this, hmm …"
Shen Meng Qi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I see that you have spots on both the Weapon and Spirit Ranking. If that's the case, there's still an empty spot …"
Shen Meng Qi did not continue and merely looked at Su Zimo expectantly and nervously.
Su Zimo replied indifferently, "I already have someone in mind."
"Ah."
Shen Meng Qi's eyes dimmed and she looked disappointed. Forcing a smile, she asked, "May I know who it is?"
"My spirit beast."
Su Zimo did not hide it either.
He was prepared to bring along Night Spirit for that spot to begin with.
The reason why he did not choose to bring along Nien Qi was because if he had to choose between Nien Qi and Night Spirit, he would definitely choose Night Spirit.
Although Nien Qi had followed Su Zimo for three years, in comparison, Su Zimo had deeper feelings for Night Spirit even though Night Spirit was only a spirit beast.
Furthermore, Nien Qi's current cultivation realm was not high and was only at late-stage Foundation Establishment – it might not be a good thing for him to enter the ancient battlefield.
When she heard that, Shen Meng Qi was agitated and said angrily, "Su Zimo, even if you don't want to give it to me, you don't have to insult me like that!"
"Did I insult you?" Su Zimo did not understand why Shen Meng Qi was so agitated all of a sudden.
Shen Meng Qi questioned, "You'd rather give that spot to a spirit beast than me. Isn't that an insult to me?"
"Fu …"
Su Zimo shook his head and sneered, "Night Spirit saved my life before. Why can't I give it to it? Why should I give it to you? "
Shen Meng Qi opened her mouth, as though she wanted to say something. However, after a moment, she did not say anything and merely stood on the spot in a daze with a pale face.
Su Zimo had already left in a huff.
