Outside the main hall.
Ji Yaoxue gazed into the distance with a forlorn expression and a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
There was nothing there. Just Now, that person had already left.
Perfected Lord Ming Ze arrived beside Ji Yaoxue and asked curiously, "You knew that he wasn't dead, empress?"
"That's right. I knew 15 years ago,"
"15 years ago?"
Perfected Lord Ming Ze froze for a moment and frowned in deep thought.
A moment later, he shuddered and blurted out, "Dragon Burial Valley, that middle-aged monk!"
Ji Yaoxue nodded.
"It's no wonder why that monk risked his life to save you back then and even escorted you all the way."
Perfected Lord Ming Ze lamented internally, "That monk was decisive in killing and his attacks were swift. His thought process was chilling and didn't seem like someone from the Buddhist monasteries."
"Back then, I had a feeling that the monk's methods were similar to someone else's. To think that it was truly him."
When Perfected Lord Ming Ze saw that Ji Yaoxue was silent, he knew that what happened today was a huge blow to this child.
The betrayal of a loved one wasn't something that everyone could accept.
The sudden departure of that person must have affected her greatly as well.
Not knowing how to console her, Perfected Lord Ming Ze asked, "Why did he choose to avoid meeting you?"
"He was afraid of implicating me and Great Zhou."
Ji Yaoxue asked softly, "Senior Ming Ze, do you really think that the reason why he started the beast stampede and went on a killing spree was because of the death of his loved one?"
"Isn't that the case?" Perfected Lord Ming Ze froze for a moment.
"Of course not," Ji Yaoxue shook her head.
Perfected Lord Ming Ze frowned and asked, "Then why would he say that?"
Ji Yaoxue replied, "That's the only way he can have nothing to do with me or Great Zhou. That's the only way the major sects and factions won't vent their anger on Great Zhou."
Perfected Lord Ming Ze was enlightened.
Su Zimo's identity was way too sensitive.
He had offended way too many factions 20 years ago!
There was utterly no place for him in the northern region!
Given the situation back then, not to mention Su Zimo himself, whoever dared to take in Su Zimo's brother would face imminent disaster!
It was one thing for Su Zimo to die at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley.
Now that he had returned alive, he would definitely have to face the pursuit of the Ten Upper Sects, four gentry clans, Glass Palace and other major factions!
Only by severing all ties with the Great Zhou Dynasty would he not implicate the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It would not be long before news of this battle in Cang Lang Mountain Range spread throughout the entire Northern Region.
At that time, regardless of whether they had any grudges with Su Zimo, countless sects, forces, and cultivators would join in the pursuit.
That was because Su Zimo had the Divine Phoenix Bone and many secret techniques!
Whoever obtained Su Zimo's items would replace him and become the new eternal monster!
Heroes vying for supremacy.
Su Zimo was that deer.
Perfected Lord Ming Ze sighed gently. "It's been hard on him."
Perfected Lord Ming Ze knew that from this day forth, Su Zimo would bear the infamy of killing indiscriminately, being cruel and a fiend.
Nobody would be grateful to him.
That was because everyone would only think that Su Zimo was a cruel and violent demon whose hands were stained with the blood of countless humans for the sake of venting his personal grievances!
Those who were not of the same race would be punished by the world!
Ji Yaoxue could vaguely sense that the two of them would probably never meet again after this parting.
"Empress, let's return,"
Perfected Lord Ming Ze said softly, "The Great Zhou Dynasty has no more worries now that the three dynasties have retreated. I believe that no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty will doubt you from today onwards. "
Ji Yaoxue sighed and turned to leave.
…
Due to the passing of his kin, Su Zimo appeared and launched a beast stampede, killing millions of cultivators and hundreds of Genying Zhenjun!
That news swept through the entire North Region like a storm.
It caused a huge uproar in the cultivation world of the North Region!
"How is that possible? Everyone witnessed him jumping into the Dragon Burial Valley 20 years ago. To think that he's still alive? "
"Millions of cultivators! What a ruthless method!"
"I heard that he hasn't cultivated to the level of a fiend demon yet. How did Genying Zhenjun kill hundreds of them? Could his strength have already reached such a terrifying level? "
"It seems like Genying Zhenjun was ambushed and his spirit energy and Essence Spirit were sealed."
"Is this a declaration of war against the human race?!"
Every cultivator in the North Region was discussing this matter.
Initially, the cultivation world had calmed down with the impending opening of the intermediate ancient battlefield. All the major sects and factions were preparing to send their disciples into the ancient battlefield.
To think that the North Region would be shaken by the news!
There was an obvious increase in cultivators in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
All the major sects and factions took action, wanting to locate Su Zimo as soon as possible.
Cultivators from the Ten Upper Sects, four gentry clans, two ancient aristocratic families and even super sects of Tianhuang Mainland such as Glass Palace and Malevolent Earth Sect appeared to search for Su Zimo.
Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for Su Zimo to hide!
However, no one discovered Su Zimo for 10 consecutive days.
In fact, the Dharma Daojun was even alarmed during this period of time!
It was said that a Dao Lord of Glass Palace had ascended Misty Peak personally to capture Su Zimo but to no avail.
Powerful spirit consciousnesses would sweep through the capital of Great Zhou daily, scanning every single corner of the capital.
It was as though Su Zimo had vanished from the face of the earth.
Nobody knew of his whereabouts.
Right then, a spirit crane that flew over from the vicinity of Glass Palace caused a huge uproar once more!
There was a message written on it.
"You guys had better not send any cultivators into the ancient battlefield. Otherwise, I'll kill every single one I see! 13 cities of Yan Country, an eye for an eye! "
There were three words written on it – Su Zimo!
The fact that no cultivators of Glass Palace stood out to deny it meant that it was most likely true.
The news spread rapidly and caused an uproar.
To think that someone would dare to threaten Glass Palace in this world!
This was a declaration of war!
A Perfected Being of Jin Dan was declaring war against this behemoth of Tianhuang Mainland that had a legacy of time!
No one could match that sharpness!
There were no schemes or schemes.
There was only an open declaration of war!
He was threatening Glass Palace in front of the entire cultivation world!
If you dare to send anyone into the ancient battlefield, I, Su Zimo, will kill all of you!
13 cities of Yan Country, an eye for an eye!
A full 20 years had passed.
Nobody expected Su Zimo to still be alive.
Less than that, nobody expected this monster incarnate to declare war against Glass Palace in such a domineering manner the moment he reappeared! It was as though he was trampling on Glass Palace's face!
The entire cultivation world was in an uproar as discussions broke out.
"Overly rigid means easy to break. This lad's sharpness is exposed. How dare a spirit demon of the Jin Dan realm challenge Glass Palace? He must have a death wish!"
"You're wrong. In my opinion, he's very smart."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"If that lad were to charge into Glass Palace directly, he would be courting death. However, he's very smart and chose to fight in the ancient battlefield. "
"So what?"
"20 years ago, this lad killed Xi Wuya and was the true number one of the North Region! There's a suppression of cultivation in the ancient battlefield. In the Jin Dan realm, he's the heavens. Who in Glass Palace is a match for him? "
"That might not be the case. Don't forget that this lad's Jin Dan was crippled completely by a Void Reversion. There's no doubt about that. During the battle in Cang Lang Mountain Range, this lad did not have any spirit energy either. In my opinion, his strength has decreased instead. "
