Chapter 2017: Return

Translator: Legge

The Emperor’s Tomb.

Su Zimo had benefited way too much from this trip to the Emperor’s Tomb.

Apart from treasures such as the mysterious jade talisman, Soul Lantern and Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng, his cultivation had also broken through a major cultivation realm and reached the Level 1 Earth Essence realm.

He had only ascended to the upper world for slightly more than a thousand years.

Even the personal disciples of some aristocratic families and sects could not match his cultivation speed, let alone the native living beings of the upper world!

At the same time, the Hell Suppression Tripod repaired the third tripod wall and the pattern of the sacred beast, the Black Tortoise, appeared on it.

Su Zimo even obtained a secret skill passed down from the Black Tortoise Sacred Soul.

However, he had yet to divert his attention to cultivate.

The Green Lotus True Body advanced to Grade 10 and gave birth to a treasure, the Trinity Auspicious Jade.

He was even more curious about that treasure.

At that moment, Su Zimo was studying the jade weapon while stabilizing his cultivation realm. For a moment, he forgot where he was.

Although he had obtained some inheritance memories of the Creation Green Lotus and knew that the jade weapon was called the Trinity Auspicious Jade, he had to figure out its use himself.

Su Zimo’s mind was completely immersed in the Trinity Auspicious Jade. He felt that the treasure was extremely mysterious and the more he explored, the more he could sense the immense power behind it!

After a long time, Su Zimo finally discovered one of the miraculous uses of the Trinity Auspicious Jade. He was secretly delighted when he felt a vibration and jolted awake from his cultivation.

The Emperor’s Tomb was shaking violently and the world spun. Countless starlight fell from the firmaments and the ground cracked, as though the apocalypse had arrived.

Su Zimo realized that the Emperor’s Tomb was about to leave Divine Firmament Mainland and escape into the void!

Without hesitation, he took out the teleportation talisman from his storage bag and tore it apart.

A spatial tunnel appeared behind him and devoured him before disappearing from the Emperor’s Tomb.

…

Green Cloud City, prince’s residence.

Feng Ziyi leaned against the wall weakly.

She was severely injured by Prince Yuan Zuo’s sound domain secret skill. Right now, her blood qi was dissipated and her tendons and bones felt like they were about to split. The pain was unbearable and she could not even stand up against the pressure of Prince Yuan Zuo’s spirit consciousness, let alone complete the assassination.

The difference in strength between them was way too great.

If it was a secret assassination attempt, she might have a chance of winning.

Now that her identity was exposed and she was forced to fight Prince Yuan Zuo head-on, she had no chance at all.

“Given your intelligence, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to tell Feng Cantian’s intentions, right?”

Prince Yuan Zuo looked down at Feng Ziyi and said slowly, “The reason why he broke free from the cage but did not take you away was because he was worried that he would implicate you if he was hunted down.”

Feng Ziyi remained silent.

Actually, she had not seen Feng Cantian at all.

To be precise, Feng Cantian did not even know that a granddaughter like her existed!

Feng Cantian had been suppressed in Absolute Thunder City for hundreds of thousands of years and she was only a few thousand years old—the two of them had never met before.

Feng Ziyi’s closest kin were her parents and master.

However, she had heard too many legends about Feng Cantian and the person she admired the most was this grandfather she had never met before.

Feng Cantian had been suppressed for too long. Even if he was alive, he did not have much lifespan left.

Feng Ziyi knew in her heart that if she did not head to Absolute Thunder City, she might not have the chance to see her grandfather personally in her lifetime!

That was also the reason why she wanted to barge into the Ten Absolute Hell to meet Feng Cantian despite the immense danger.

Indeed, Feng Cantian did not disappoint her for this trip to Absolute Thunder City.

In fact, it was even more majestic and unparalleled than the image she had conjured in her mind. That prideful and invincible aura was something that no one in the world could match!

Her grandfather was free.

This was the only thing that could make Feng Ziyi happy in thousands of years.

Although she was about to die, Feng Cantian survived.

She had even witnessed her grandfather’s peerless glory personally and had no regrets in her life.

At that thought, Feng Ziyi laughed.

She could no longer remember how long it had been since she smiled happily.

Perhaps there had never been a smile on her face after her parents died.

At that moment, her smile was a little amateurish but exceptionally beautiful. It was like a new touch of green in the early spring, like a blossoming plum blossom in the cold winter.

“You can still smile?”

Prince Yuan Zuo shook his head gently and said, “I’m curious. Feng Cantian has already escaped but you didn’t take advantage of the chaos to escape. Instead, you came to my side and wanted to assassinate me?”

“Fufu, what exactly do you want?”

“My brother was the one who killed your father and King Tianxing was the one who suppressed Feng Cantian. Why are you looking for me?”

The smile on Feng Ziyi’s face gradually disappeared as she glared at Prince Yuan Zuo coldly. “That’s because you deserve to die! I’m going to let King Jin and the heir of King Jin experience the pain of losing their kin as well!”

Feng Ziyi planned for a long time before deciding on Prince Yuan Zuo as her choice of target.

Firstly, Prince Yuan Zuo was not old and could be considered as one of King Jin’s youngest sons.

Although his cultivation was not high, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by King Jin—it was clear that he had a high status in the latter’s heart.

Second, among the many princes, Prince Yuan Zuo’s cultivation realm was not high and the success rate of his assassination was higher.

“Hehe!”

Prince Yuan Zuo had a disdainful expression as he waved his hand gently. His robes expanded dozens of feet and wrapped around Feng Ziyi’s neck a few times like a nimble python before tightening!

Feng Ziyi’s body was lifted slowly by the sleeves of the robes.

Instantly, her face turned bloodshot and her lips turned purplish. Her neck was almost snapped by Prince Yuan Zuo!

Clang!

Feng Ziyi’s hands were weak and she could not even hold on to the dark daggers, allowing them to fall to the ground.

As long as Prince Yuan Zuo tightened his robes with a single thought, he would be able to kill her!

“B*tch, you’re still too inexperienced to want to kill me!”

Prince Yuan Zuo glared at Feng Ziyi and sneered, “I’ll kill you first today! In a few days, I’ll get that old dog Feng Cantian to accompany you!”

“At that time, your family can reunite in hell. It’ll be lively, hahaha!”

Prince Yuan Zuo burst into laughter. Just as he was about to kill Feng Ziyi, a strange energy fluctuation came from behind him.

“Mmm?”

Prince Yuan Zuo glanced sideways.

The void not far away from the hall cracked slowly and a pitch-black spatial tunnel appeared with a sinister wind.

When he saw that, Prince Yuan Zuo’s heart skipped a beat and he was delighted.

Su Zimo!

Su Zimo must have returned!

Prince Yuan Zuo stared at the spatial tunnel fixedly with an expectant expression.

Indeed, before long, a figure fell out of the spatial tunnel and stabilized himself before landing steadily in the hall.

The person had black hair and a slender figure. Dressed in green robes, he had refined features—it was Su Zimo!

“Good, good, good!”

Prince Yuan Zuo looked at Su Zimo and was overjoyed as he praised repeatedly, “Su Zimo, you did not disappoint me!”
