Three strange people appeared in the Great Qian Ruins.
The leader was a middle-aged monk with prayer beads. He had a calm expression and did not seem like he had any cultivation, no different from a mortal.
Behind him was a man and a woman, both of whom were heavily injured.
There was a high chance that the three of them would be ambushed if they appeared in the Great Qian Ruins!
It was way too common to kill for treasures here.
However, along the way, many cultivators avoided them and did not provoke them when they caught sight of them.
That was because everyone could clearly see that there were initially countless otherworldly soldiers in the palace. However, when the three of them passed by, the otherworldly soldiers chose to avoid them!
Even though the three of them passed through the palace, none of the otherworldly soldiers dared to approach them!
Perfected Lord Ming Ze was secretly amazed.
The reason why the otherworldly soldiers were wary was definitely not because of him.
When they arrived, even if he was Genying Zhenjun, the otherworldly soldiers charged forward fearlessly.
Who would have thought that the otherworldly soldiers and horses would avoid this middle-aged monk?!
The middle-aged monk seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist that prevented one from seeing through him.
The strangest thing was his identity.
Although he was a cultivator, there was no spirit energy fluctuation within his body.
Although he was a mortal, he was able to kill Genying Zhenjun!
This person specialized in a sound wave secret skill.
Those that possessed the legacy of sound wave secret skills were all super sects or top factions.
However, none of the six Buddhist monasteries were in the North Region.
Where did this person come from?
Along the way, Perfected Lord Ming Ze was filled with questions but he could not figure it out.
Ji Yaoxue followed behind and looked at the back view of the middle-aged monk with a conflicted expression. There were a few times when she wanted to say something but eventually, she did not.
Just like that, the three of them passed through the palace and the ruins silently.
After sending Ji Yaoxue and Perfected Lord Ming Ze out of the ruins, Su Zimo stopped in his tracks and turned around. Lowering his head, he whispered, "Patrons, please leave as soon as possible. I'll take my leave first."
Ji Yaoxue bit her red lips gently without saying anything.
"Thank you for your rescue, esteemed monk. I'll definitely remember your kindness today," Perfected Lord Ming Ze cupped his fists hurriedly.
Su Zimo nodded and bowed with a single hand before turning to leave.
Right from the beginning, he did not dare to look into Ji Yaoxue's eyes.
He did not dare to meet her gaze.
After hesitating for a long time, Ji Yaoxue still asked, "Reverend, d-don't you have anything else to say?"
"This place is dangerous. Benefactor, please don't come here again."
With his back facing Ji Yaoxue, Su Zimo continued forward without turning back as he said calmly.
"When will I be able to meet you again?"
Ji Yaoxue Su Zimo
Su Zimo paused in his tracks and remained silent for a long time before replying, "We'll meet again if fate allows."
Perfected Lord Ming Ze furrowed his brows and looked back and forth between Ji Yaoxue Su Zimo and the middle-aged monk in confusion.
Ji Yaoxue Su Zimo heaved a long sigh of relief after the middle-aged monk's figure vanished at the end of the ruins. "Uncle Ming, let's return."
Perfected Lord Ming Ze could not help but ask, "Do you know that person, empress?"
"Ming Xin?"
Ji Yaoxue Su Zimo smiled and shook her head. "No, I don't."
Perfected Lord Ming Ze was even more confused.
This was not the territory of Great Zhou and both of them were injured. None of them dared to linger and soared into the air on their swords, speeding away.
…
Su Zimo Su Zimo returned with mixed emotions.
In the end, he did not choose to acknowledge Ji Yaoxue Su Zimo.
He did not know what he should say.
How should he face Ji Yaoxue Su Zimo?
He could not deny that Ji Yaoxue Su Zimo was extremely important to him. However, he would eventually have to leave the North Region and even Tianhuang Mainland.
As for Ji Yaoxue Su Zimo, she was the empress of Great Zhou and bore the hopes of the dynasty's prosperity.
Both of them had different paths.
Suddenly, Su Zimo Su Zimo paused in his tracks and frowned.
He was deep in thought along the way and was distracted – he did not notice that someone was tailing him!
Of course, that person did not seem to have any ill intentions towards him.
Otherwise, given his spirit perception, he would have been able to sense it even if he was distracted!
"Who are you? Come on out."
Su Zimo Su Zimo glanced sideways and said indifferently.
"Great monk, do you recognize me?"
A gentle voice rang out, carrying a hint of reproach and a hint of resentment.
Su Zimo Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
Instantly, the Sanskrit of the Daming Mantra echoed in his mind and he calmed down swiftly.
It was Demoness Ji!
After five years, Demoness Ji's bewitchment skills had become even more frightening.
If not for the fact that Su Zimo had chanted sutras and gained some understanding of Buddhism over the past five years, he would have been exposed with that voice alone!
It seemed like Demoness Ji had gained quite a bit of benefits in the Human Emperor's Palace back then and her cultivation had improved tremendously.
Su Zimo Su Zimo turned around and looked at Demoness Ji who was not far away.
After five years, Demoness Ji seemed to have slimmed down a little. However, that could not hide her alluring beauty and seductive figure.
She furrowed her brows in a pitiful manner.
Her eyes were clear like water and sparkled.
The young girl bit her alluring red lips gently with a resentful expression.
Su Zimo Su Zimo took a glance and retracted his gaze without batting an eyelid, shaking his head. "I don't know you."
"Great monk, you don't know me but I know you."
A fragrance wafted over as Ji Yaoxue pounced towards Su Zimo with light steps. By the looks of it, she seemed like she wanted to dive into his embrace.
Su Zimo Su Zimo felt his head ache.
The person he was most afraid of in his life was this demoness before him.
In a flash, Su Zimo Su Zimo dodged to the side.
"Female patron, please respect yourself," Su Zimo Su Zimo placed his palms together and said in a deep voice.
"Sure,"
Demoness Ji harrumphed and said angrily, "Great monk, you're asking me to respect myself now. Back in the stone coffin, you took advantage of me quite a bit!"
Su Zimo Su Zimo's mouth twitched.
Back then, the two of them were forced to squeeze into a stone coffin and escape into the underground river.
The stone coffin was cramped and did not have much space – it was inevitable for the two of them to touch each other.
Now that Demoness Ji mentioned that, it was clear that she had recognized his identity.
Demoness Ji was relentless and continued, "Alright, you shaved your hair and took a prayer bead. Now, you're going to turn around and deny me?"
Initially, Su Zimo Su Zimo was still hesitating about whether he should admit it.
After all, there was nothing Demoness Ji could do if he refused to admit it.
However, the more she spoke, the worse it sounded as though there was truly something between the two of them. Su Zimo could not bear to continue listening and could not help but cough gently, interrupting, "Demoness Ji, what do you want?"
"Hmph!"
She raised her head and pouted. "Monk, I thought you didn't recognize me?"
After a moment of silence, Su Zimo said, "Five years ago, thank you and the Pure Maiden Sect for saving the people of the Yan Kingdom."
When she heard that, Demoness Ji's eyes turned misty as though she was about to cry. "Su Zimo, you're so heartless! Why aren't you showing yourself when you're clearly alive?!"
"I, Jin Dan, have been crippled. I've been mistaken for a Demon and offended the entire Northern Domain. Anyone who has anything to do with me won't have a good ending."
Su Zimo shook his head and said, "Not to mention that I'll be pursued the moment I make an appearance. Even though the northern territory is huge, there's no place for me to stay."
