After Yui Kimi left Ninja Sect, he directly returned to Tian Xuan Academy's seclusion area. At this time, the entire Southern Ming Continent was already in great chaos. Not only because many successors of big forces had died in the Large Competition Space, but also because the news of Five Ultimate Immortal Emperor and other two Immortals joining hands to kill the deans of the five great academies had spread out. This news was no different than a sudden clap of thunder for the entire continent.
The scene of Five Ultimate Immortal Emperor Jiang Yuandao's aura descending on Southern Ming Continent was still vivid in everyone's mind. Everyone had different opinions about what had happened in the Large Competition Space.
But those who truly knew what had happened had already been sealed by Yui Kimi with Caged Bird Technique and Seal of Tongue Disaster Root, so although there were many rumors, but no one suspected Ninja Sect and Akatsuki.
With regarding to these matters, Yui Kimi also didn't pay much attention to them, rather placed all his thoughts on consolidating his cultivation. Before, when he had broken through to Mid Deity Transformation Stage in the battle, the successive breakthroughs in a short period of time had caused his cultivation to show signs of instability, so he had no choice but to properly go into seclusion and cultivate.
And at the same time, facing the sudden turmoil in the entire continent, Ninja Sect completely maintained calm and restrained, and didn't participate in any disturbance. So much so that they withdrew all their defensive lines, so low-key that everyone had overlooked their existence.
Only a few people knew that this was the calm before the storm.
In a blink of an eye, 10 days passed, and the injuries caused by the battle to everyone of Akatsuki had basically already recovered. Void had also already woken up, but his strength was still not restored, so he still needed to rest for a period of time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zero came to Void's cultivation room.
"This time's battle is all thanks to you, otherwise we might have to pay an even more disastrous price!" Zero sincerely said to Zhou Yu.
"When I joined Akatsuki, I had already made an oath, so no need to thank me!" Void indifferently said. His complexion was somewhat pale, and he still didn't speak much.
"Now can you tell me a bit about Ling Luo?" Zero asked.
After hearing the two words Ling Luo, Void's indifferent face slightly stagnated, and his ice-cold eyes revealed a rare touch of tenderness and sadness.
"You know, although I am the seventh prince of Fire Nation, but I never thought of fighting for the position of heir, so I have almost no impression of the imperial palace. Since birth, I spent most of my time in Red Cliff Imperial Residence of Fire Nation's ancestral land!" Zhou Yu slowly said.
When he was talking about his experience, his expression again became ice-cold again, as if he was a bystander describing other's life, and it had nothing to do with him.
. Because I don't want to think about other things, and also don't think about other things, and also don't touch other things, don't think about other's of's hand's's, because I don't think about other things, don't think about other things other's also don't think about other things other things things things things Because I can ', I, I can, as, Of course......
Zero calmly listened. He had already heard about some matters concerning the imperial clan of Fire Nation.
The previous emperor of Fire Nation, namely Zhou Yu's father, had always been in poor health, and the imperial court was controlled by Prince Zhou Hui very early on. Afterwards, he directly put his father under house arrest in the imperial palace, and with the status of regent, commanded the authority of the entire Fire Nation, and no one could surpass him.
From this point, it could be seen that Zhou Yu choosing to stay in Red Cliff Imperial Residence, far away from the core authority of Fire Nation's imperial clan was indeed a very wise choice. Moreover at that time, Zhou Yu didn't cultivate, so he was practically no threat to Zhou Hui. This might also be the reason why Zhou Yu was able to survive until the end.
"But unfortunately, my imperial brother is sinister and vicious in nature, so even if I was no threat to him, he would not let go of any opportunity to seize power, so he sent many people to Red Cliff Imperial Residence to assassinate me." When Zhou Yu said this, the cold killing intent in his eyes could not be stopped. All the muscles in his body instantly tensed up as if some fatal danger had appeared. Even Zero, who was standing at the side, could clearly sense the fluctuation in Zhou Yu's emotions.
Zero pressed Zhou Yu's shoulder and softly asked, "At that time, you didn't cultivate, so you shouldn't have too many trustworthy people by your side. How did you escape?"
Feeling the warmth from Zero's hand, Zhou Yu's tense muscles slightly relaxed, and his rationality returned. At the very least, he was no longer the seventh prince who could be bullied by anyone. However, whenever he recalled the scene back then, he still couldn't completely calm down.
"I was only a mortal back then, so I didn't have the strength to fight back. Fortunately, my personal guard noticed something strange and let me slip out from the back door, leaving Red Cliff Imperial Residence one step ahead!" Zhou Yu softly said. His cherry blossom eyes slightly turned as he sank into deep memories.
"After leaving Red Cliff Imperial Residence, I was extremely afraid and didn't know where to go, so I went all the way to the cherry blossom forest in the depths of the ancestral land.
"When I was young, regardless of whether I was happy or unhappy, I liked to go to the cherry blossom forest and pour out my grievances and sorrows loudly. It was the same at that time. When I felt most helpless, I subconsciously went there because it was the warmest harbor in the depths of my heart. It was also because I had the only friend in my life there — Ling Luo!"
"I don't know why Ling Luo would appear there. When I first saw her, she was just a little girl. She had beautiful red hair and cherry blossom like eyes. She said that her home was there. Although I have never been there, as long as I go to the cherry blossom forest, Ling Luo will always appear at an extremely fast speed!"
"It could be said that Ling Luo was the only happy memory of my childhood. We spent many happy times together. If Zhou Hui hadn't sent people to assassinate me, perhaps this situation would have continued!
"Unfortunately, I wasn't able to escape that time. Those people followed the traces I left behind and found the cherry blossom forest, where they found me and Ling Luo!"
Zhou Yu's body slightly trembled at this point. His fists were tightly clenched as if he was forcefully suppressing his emotions.
"In order to protect me, Ling Luo took action. I only saw countless cherry blossoms dancing in the air. All the people who were sent to assassinate me were all killed. Not even a trace of them was left behind. However, when everything was over, a spatial crack appeared beside Ling Luo. It emitted a very terrifying aura."
"At that moment, Ling Luo asked me if I would be sad if she left!
"I said yes! And asked her where she was going? Could she take me with her?!
"Ling Luo glanced at the crack and told me that behind it was the Immortal Realm. If I went, I wouldn't be able to return!
