In the depths of the clouds, the pair of eyes hidden had yet to leave, watching everything that was happening below the entire time.
Upon hearing Su Zimo's words, a hint of playfulness flashed through those eyes.
"What a boastful young lad. Interesting."
…
Below the spirit arena.
Many disciples were shocked. They did not think about how a Level 6 Qi Refinement Warrior like Su Zimo could challenge a disciple of the Disciplinary Hall.
Everyone was only thinking about how Su Zimo had the courage to say that!
There were only two possibilities. He was either a fool or a lunatic.
Everyone looked at Su Zimo as though they were looking at a dead man.
Initially, according to Chen Yu, Su Zimo was only going to be crippled of his cultivation and chased out of the sect.
But now, Chen Yu could kill Su Zimo right here and now!
"Good, good, good!"
Chen Yu was so angry that he laughed and nodded repeatedly, saying coldly, "To think that the trial disciples of the sect would have fallen to such a state. Since you want to die so badly, I'll fulfill your wish!"
Slapping his storage bag, a flying sword landed in Chen Yu's palm.
Spirit qi was injected into it and the flying sword shone brightly. Two spirit lights shone on the sword in a bedazzling manner!
Middle-grade spirit weapon!
Su Zimo narrowed his eyes and was about to make a move when an authoritative voice sounded from the void.
"Stop!"
Immediately after, a figure sped over at an alarming speed.
Without relying on external objects, he soared into the air. Perfected Jin Dan!
Chen Yu glanced sideways and frowned. With Perfected Jin Dan's arrival, it was not good for him to make a move no matter how bold he was.
Chen Yu's expression was dark as he glared at Su Zimo, suppressing the killing intent in his heart for the time being.
The person was in his forties or fifties and arrived at lightning speed. His white robes fluttered in the wind and he had the demeanor of an otherworldly immortal.
There was an image of a flying sword on the sleeves of that person's white robes.
Spirit Peak's master, Wen Xuan!
Back when he joined Misty Peak, Su Zimo had seen this person at the peak of the front mountain.
"Greetings, Master."
The disciples of Spirit Peak shouted.
"Greetings, First Seat."
The disciples of the other four peaks also hurriedly bowed.
With the arrival of Spirit Peak's master, there was no way a fight would break out. Little Fatty, Xue Yi and the others heaved a sigh of relief as their expressions relaxed.
Next, it was up to the peak master of Spirit Peak to deal with this matter.
Su Zimo hesitated for a moment before putting the Cold Moon Saber back into his storage pouch.
"Chief, this Su Zimo …"
"No need, I already know."
Chen Yu was the first to speak, wanting to tell Spirit Peak's master, Wen Xuan, about what had happened Just Now. However, Wen Xuan waved his hand and interrupted him.
Wen Xuan stood in the air and looked at Su Zimo without saying a word. His expression seemed calm but no one knew what he was thinking.
After a long time, Wen Xuan asked slowly. "Su Zimo, do you know your mistake?"
When they heard that, Little Fatty, Xue Yi and the others were overjoyed.
By the looks of it, there was a high chance that Wen Xuan would not punish Su Zimo as severely as Chen Yu did.
Before the joy in Little Fatty and the others' eyes dissipated, Su Zimo's next sentence caused their expressions to freeze.
A commotion broke out in the crowd as well.
"I didn't do anything wrong."
Su Zimo raised his head and looked at Wen Xuan, his tone calm.
It was still reasonable for Su Zimo to go against Chen Yu. However, it was truly irrational for him to go against a peak master.
In reality, Su Zimo had never been a rational person.
Otherwise, he would not have straightened his back and refused to kneel when he was bullied by Perfected Being Cang Lang back at Ping Yang Town.
He would not have headed forth alone to kill the King of Yan and break out of the encirclement despite knowing that the capital of Yan Country was heavily guarded.
He would not have headed forth resolutely even though he knew that he would definitely die if he tried to stop the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of Joyful Sect.
Right was right and wrong was wrong. Su Zimo would not give in to pressure!
Not far away, the other four peak masters were watching the situation from afar, observing the development of the situation.
How could the five peak masters not know about the huge commotion caused by the battle between the disciples of the two peaks?
When he heard Su Zimo's reply, Array Peak's master sighed gently. "Although this lad's personality is not likable, it's truly rare and I admire him."
"Cultivators have to have the guts and boldness to go against the heavens. Cultivating the Dao is a heaven-defying act to begin with."
"Even though that's the case, this lad's future path is bound to be filled with obstacles."
The three peak masters discussed amongst themselves. Weapon Peak's disheveled old man shook his head and said nothing.
It was not appropriate for them to step in since this happened in Spirit Peak.
…
Below the spirit arena.
After hearing Su Zimo's reply, Wen Xuan went silent for a moment.
"Su Zimo, let me ask you a question."
Wen Xuan said slowly, "Since Sun Tao injured your spirit beast today, you injured him as well. If Sun Tao were to kill your spirit beast, what would you do? "
As though realizing something, Linghu suddenly growled.
Linghu's intelligence was no less than that of an adult and it could see everything clearly. Right now, as long as Su Zimo lowered his head and submitted, he would be given a lighter punishment.
Linghu's growl was to stop Su Zimo.
Su Zimo turned back to look at Linghu who was lying on the ground and suddenly smiled.
Su Zimo already had an answer to that question.
Back when Perfected Being Cang Lang killed his mount, Zhui Feng, Su Zimo wanted to take revenge, let alone Linghu who had already become his spirit beast.
Su Zimo replied, "Of course, I'm going to kill him!"
"You're going to kill your own sect mate for a spirit beast?"
"Yes!"
"Give me a reason."
"Since the spirit beast has chosen to follow me, I, Su Zimo, will naturally have to protect him!"
"Roar! Roar!"
Linghu ignored the wounds on its body and struggled to stand up. Walking to Su Zimo's side, it whined softly and rubbed its head against Su Zimo's arm repeatedly.
Linghu had never truly wanted to follow Su Zimo.
Furthermore, without the restrictions of the blood oath, Linghu could leave at any time.
It was only at this moment that Linghu truly made up his mind that he would never leave this person before him for the rest of his life.
Even if they did not sign a blood oath.
…
Far away, the four peak masters frowned when they heard the conversation between the two of them.
Previously, no matter how much trouble Su Zimo caused, they could still accept it since things were not blown out of proportion.
But now, Su Zimo had expressed his determination to kill his own sect mate for the sake of his spirit beast – that was something that the four peak masters could not accept.
At that moment, even Perfected Being Jin Dan did not realize that there was a pair of eyes hidden in the depths of the clouds above their heads, watching everything below silently.
When it heard Su Zimo's reply, that pair of eyes was slightly stunned. Immediately after, a look of admiration flashed through its eyes as it pondered.
"Master, I think Su Zimo has a cold personality and has no feelings for his sect mates. If he stays in the sect from now on, I'm afraid he'll attract more trouble."
Right then, Feng Haoyu finally spoke.
Every single word of his could be said to strike at the heart. In other words, he still wanted to chase Su Zimo out of the sect!
Wen Xuan remained silent.
Countless eyes were on Wen Xuan, waiting for his final decision.
