In a single night, the ancient city was destroyed.
None of the 2,000 odd cultivators of Glass Palace, including the six Sealers, survived!
Tang Shiyun stood on the city wall in a daze and surveyed the dilapidated ancient city that was filled with corpses and bloodstained with corpses in a daze.
The ancient city was completely taken over by demon beasts.
She was the only Cultivator who was still alive.
If not for the fact that Su Zimo handed her over to monkey, Linghu and the other demon beasts before he left, she would have been devoured by the other demon beasts a long time ago.
Although it was only a single night, Tang Shiyun felt like a long time had passed.
She witnessed her fellow sect mates being killed mercilessly with her very own eyes.
However, that person was her benefactor.
She also witnessed tens of thousands of cultivators being buried here.
She witnessed with her very own eyes how an indestructible ancient city that was filled with life was reduced to ruins overnight!
Tang Shiyun should have hated Su Zimo.
After all, he was the one who killed the cultivators of Southern Duel Sect personally and attracted a beast stampede that massacred more than half of the cultivators in the ancient city.
However, she could not bring herself to hate him.
It was not only because Su Zimo had once saved her.
More than that, it was also because deep in her heart, she could not tell who was right and who was wrong.
Right then, that person returned, bathed in the sunlight.
Monkey grinned, Linghu howled, the Golden Lion roared into the skies and Little Fox gripped her fists excitedly.
As Tang Shiyun pondered, that person had already arrived on the city wall.
Pursing her lips, Tang Shiyun welcomed him with cupped fists. "Thank you for sparing my life, fellow Daoist. I … sigh, I'll be taking my leave now."
She could already feel that she did not fit in with everything around her.
She could not stay for long.
"Yes,"
Su Zimo said, "Although it's daytime now, there are many dangers in the ancient battlefield. If you're not in a hurry, you can rest here for a period of time. I'll escort you to the other gathering grounds."
The reason for this period of time was to wait for monkey, Linghu and the other demons to recover from their injuries.
Tang Shiyun shook her head.
She really didn't know how to get along with Su Zimo.
Seeing this, Su Zimo did not force him to stay and said, "Be careful on the road."
Tang Shiyun nodded and left.
Not long after she left the ancient city, she could not help but turn back to look at the green figure. "It won't be long before news of what happened here spreads throughout the ancient battlefield. You … have to be careful too."
"Alright."
A reply came from the ancient city.
Tang Shiyun sighed inwardly. She let go of the faint reluctance in her heart and sped away.
…
On the city wall.
Su Zimo's gaze swept past monkey, the Linghu, the little fox and the Golden Lion one by one. When he saw that the demons were recovering well, he could not hide the joy in his eyes and could not help but laugh.
There was nothing more joyous than reuniting with an old friend.
Between Su Zimo, monkey and the spirit tiger, there seemed to be countless things that they wanted to talk about that could never be finished.
"Su Zimo!"
Ignoring the injuries on his body, monkey staggered over and punched Su Zimo's chest heavily with his long fists.
Dong!
Su Zimo did not dodge and took the hit head-on.
The man and monkey exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
It was as though they had traveled back in time and returned to the days when they fought side by side in Cang Lang Mountain Range.
The Golden Lion was envious of their chemistry and relationship.
It had already witnessed how strong and terrifying Su Zimo was and wanted to befriend him as well.
However, it had only known Su Zimo for a couple of days after all. Prior to this, it was Su Zimo's mount and naturally could not compare to monkey and the Linghu.
Linghu closed in and shook his head, smiling. "Boss has just condensed his Inner Core and can speak in human language. The first thing he said was your name."
Su Zimo was touched when he heard that.
Prior to this, be it monkey or Linghu, neither of them had condensed their Inner Cores and could not speak in human language.
The communication between them was mostly a series of roars.
To think that the first thing monkey learned was to call his name.
It had been more than 20 years.
Monkey had changed quite a bit.
The only thing that did not change was the wildness in its body, the arrogance in its eyes and its feelings for Su Zimo!
Linghu said smugly, "After I could take on human form, I gave myself a name so that it would be easier for me to roam the world in the future."
Monkey pouted its lips in disdain.
Linghu perked up and took a deep breath, shouting solemnly, "My name is … Hu Batian!"
"Pfft!"
Little Fox could not help but burst into laughter.
Su Zimo could not help but laugh as well.
Linghu panicked the moment he saw that. "What's wrong? What's wrong with that name?"
"Disgusting,"
Monkey spat and attacked Linghu mercilessly.
Linghu glared and straightened his neck, retorting with a flushed face, "How is it disgusting? That's such a good name! It's so domineering that it's rare in this world! "
Su Zimo laughed. "That's a tacky name. However, it suits your aura quite well."
"You guys are just jealous of me!"
Linghu's face darkened and he grit his teeth in anger. His body shuddered and his wounds tore open.
"What about you? Didn't you give yourself a name?"
Su Zimo turned to look at monkey.
Monkey pouted its lips and raised its head in disdain. "I'm me and I don't need a name. From this day forth, I want to be the strongest monkey demon in this world! When others talk about monkey demons, the first thing they think of is me! "
Su Zimo nodded.
That was true domineering!
Monkey's ambitions had never been small.
Back in Cang Lang Mountain Range, he had always wanted to be the demon king of Cang Lang Mountain Range!
Reality had proven that monkey had the capabilities as well.
His bloodline was extremely unusual!
On the city walls, Su Zimo witnessed monkey's berserk battle.
A secret skill that could activate the power of one's bloodline was definitely a legacy that only an extremely rare and powerful race would possess!
Su Zimo recalled something else.
In Tianhuang Mainland, apart from him, monkey was the only one who knew a section of the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness – the Tendons Transformation section.
The most likely possibility was that Die Yue imparted it personally.
The fact that Die Yue imparted it to him was proof that monkey had a huge background!
Su Zimo asked, "Where did you guys go after leaving Misty Peak? How did you enter the ancient battlefield and find your way here? "
"When we heard that your whereabouts were unknown, Boss couldn't stay on Misty Peak any longer."
Linghu said, "Later on, Boss insisted on heading down the mountain to look for you and I left as well. Without you, there was no point for the two of us to stay on Misty Peak. "
"Initially, that silly bird wanted to sneak out with us as well. However, it was caught red-handed by that old immortal crane and had no choice but to stay on Misty Peak."
At the mention of the silly bird, Linghu's eyes revealed a look of longing and melancholy for once. "I wonder how that silly bird is now and if it has formed an Inner Core."
The silly bird that Linghu was referring to was the child of the immortal crane on Misty Peak.
Linghu had spent the longest time with little crane and naturally had a deep relationship with it.
