Chapter 2632 Who Is The Mastermind?

Immortal Queen Ling Long smiled as well. "So, there's such an expert backing you. Seems like the information back then should have come from this Demon Empress Blood Butterfly."

"Mmm?"

Su Zimo did not really understand what she meant and asked instinctively, "What information?"

Immortal Queen Ling Long said, "Back when you ascended, King Yun You tried to kill you. The reason why I could arrive in time was because I obtained a piece of information in advance."

"Otherwise, there was no way I could have divined the precise time and location of your calamity given my methods and capabilities."

Su Zimo's expression changed and he narrowed his eyes.

Immortal Queen Ling Long did not notice it and sighed gently. "Sigh, unfortunately, Lin Zhan was injured back then. Although I arrived, I was still a step too late and caused you to lose a true body."

"I don't know why Demon Empress Blood Butterfly did not appear personally back then. If she had, she could have crushed King Yun You with a single finger!"

Lin Zhan shook his head gently. "I heard that the situation in the Great Wilderness is rather chaotic and the flames of war are endless. There are a few Demon Emperors with terrifying strength!"

"For some unknown reason, even Demon Empress Blood Butterfly was severely injured in the past. 12 Demon Kings under her lead suffered immense losses and more than half of her territory was snatched."

"In recent years, even after Demon Empress Blood Butterfly's domineering return, she has yet to recover her lost territory completely. She must be too busy handling everything personally."

As the two of them conversed, they suddenly realized that Su Zimo, who was at the side, had been silent the entire time and looked terrible.

Lin Zhan thought that Su Zimo was worried about the situation in the Great Wilderness and consoled him, "Don't worry, Zimo. Given the current strength of Demon Empress Blood Butterfly, no one should be able to hurt her."

Su Zimo was not worried about Die Yue.

As the Human Monarch had said, given Die Yue's strength and methods, there was no need for him to worry.

Furthermore, he was not strong enough right now and could not help much even if he headed to the Great Wilderness.

He was thinking about something else.

Immortal Queen Ling Long had just told him that she only managed to arrive in time back then because she received a piece of information.

She thought that the information came from Die Yue.

lights??vel.c?m However, given Su Zimo's understanding of Die Yue, there was no way it was done by her!

How strong was Die Yue? She was someone who was unwilling to owe anyone favors. As such, why would she send a message to the Human Monarch and Immortal Queen Ling Long to ask them for help?

If Die Yue wanted to save him, there was no need for her to beat around the bush!

That was not Die Yue's style of doing things.

That style reminded Su Zimo of something else.

Back when he killed Prince Yuan Zuo in Absolute Thunder City and searched the latter's soul, he saw an image in the latter's memories.

Initially, Prince Yuan Zuo did not know where he was.

It was because he suddenly received a letter that he knew that Su Zimo was taking part in the Immortal Sect Selection and could recognize his appearance after changing!

The styles of handling things in both events were way too similar.

Su Zimo thought of that right away.

At the same time, it confirmed a speculation in his mind.

However, that speculation was even more terrifying than he had imagined!

Su Zimo had once thought that the moment he arrived at the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, it was as though a pair of invisible hands had appeared behind him, manipulating his fate and guiding his every move.

And now, Su Zimo suddenly realized that the invisible hands might have already set a plan in motion from the moment he ascended!

"What's on your mind, Zimo?"

Immortal Queen Ling Long noticed that Su Zimo did not look too good and asked again.

Su Zimo said slowly, "Senior Ling Long, the information you received shouldn't have been from Demon Empress Blood Butterfly."

"It wasn't Demon Empress Blood Butterfly?"

Immortal Queen Ling Long frowned slightly and asked, "Who was it then?"

Taking a deep breath of air, Su Zimo did not hide anything from the Human Monarch and Immortal Queen Ling Long and recounted everything that happened in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.

This included how he offended Prince Yuan Zuo, participated in the Immortal Sect Selection and eventually joined Heaven and Earth Academy after some twists and turns.

After hearing that, the expression of Immortal Queen Ling Long turned grim as well—it was clear that there was a problem.

Lin Zhan was in disbelief and frowned. "Someone has been manipulating things ever since he ascended? What's the person's motive?"

"The complete Creation Green Lotus!"

Immortal Queen Ling Long said slowly, "There's only one Creation Green Lotus in the entire world and it's the most mysterious treasure with unimaginable potential."

"Throughout history, it has been extremely difficult for the Creation Green Lotus to grow. Now that the Creation Green Lotus has fused with Su Zimo in this generation, the conditions for it to grow are even more stringent."

"If Su Zimo is suppressed and imprisoned in advance, no matter what methods he uses, as long as Su Zimo is unwilling, he won't be able to grow the Creation Green Lotus to its final mature state of Grade 12."

"The best way was to give Su Zimo sufficient opportunities to cultivate and grow on his own."

"When he grows to the mature state of Grade 12, he will finally make a move to pluck it! That way, he can obtain the greatest benefits!"

Through Su Zimo's recount, Immortal Queen Ling Long deduced many things.

All of them coincided with Su Zimo's previous speculation.

Su Zimo was unwilling to believe it the entire time because this speculation would definitely point to a single person in the end!

The Sect Master of the Academy!

Without that speculation, Su Zimo was indebted to the Sect Master of the Academy through a lifesaving grace.

Back at the Immortal Sect Selection, if not for Yang Ruoxu's persistence and the timely appearance of Senior Sister Mo Qing, he would have been killed by Zither Immortal Meng Yao!

It was also because of the shelter of Heaven and Earth Academy that he could temporarily escape the threat of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.

Later on, when he obtained Rank 1 of the Earth Ranking and returned to Heaven and Earth Academy, he encountered an inexplicable assassination attempt.

At that time, things were resolved after the Sect Master of the Academy stepped in personally.

Up till now, Su Zimo could not be sure if he was the target of the assassination attempt or if it was someone else.

However, no matter what, the Sect Master of the Academy had indeed saved them.

Thereafter, he condensed the tenth step on the Dao Heart Stairs.

The Sect Master of the Academy appeared and accepted him as an in-name legacy disciple, even giving him a teleportation talisman.

It was also because of this teleportation talisman that he could escape back to Heaven and Earth Academy with Tao Yao from the chaotic situation in Langfeng City.

Later on, he headed to Absolute Thunder City alone and burned it to ashes. He killed many Heaven Immortals and even Prince Yuan Zuo, alarming the Immortal King of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.

At that time, the matter was also resolved after the Sect Master of the Academy stepped in.

Furthermore, after that incident, the Sect Master of the Academy spoke to him and did not hide the fact that he already knew the secret of the Creation Green Lotus.

It was because of that conversation that Su Zimo's suspicions towards the Sect Master of the Academy decreased significantly.

If the Sect Master of the Academy truly coveted his Green Lotus True Body, why would he be honest with him?
