Chapter 2689 Escape

Su Zimo's body vanished before everyone's eyes just like that.

There was no blood at all.

"Well…"

Everyone was stunned on the spot.

Even King Yun You, Immortal King Yan Yang, King Jin and the others were stunned with disbelief in their eyes.

Everyone could clearly see that Su Zimo was 'killed' by a single palm strike from the Sect Master of the Academy. However, he disappeared before everyone's eyes just like that!

"A clone?"

Immortal King Yan Yang frowned.

"How is that possible?!"

King Yun You could not accept it and shouted when he saw Su Zimo escape right under the noses of the Immortal Kings.

"It's indeed a clone."

The Sect Master of the Academy said in a deep voice and opened his palm.

A green Jade Manual lay in the palm of the Sect Master of the Academy.

"Jade Pure Jade Manual, Primeval Body?"

Immortal King Qing Yang blurted out.

The Sect Master of the Academy had an ugly expression as he said in a deep voice, "That's right. This was not the true body of that lad, but the Primeval Body condensed from the Jade Pure Jade Manual."

"Impossible!"

King Jin was still unable to accept this and said coldly, "This lad's cultivation is only at the Perfected Immortal realm. Even if he uses the Jade Pure Jade Manual to condense the Primeval Body, he won't be able to hide from my senses!"

Immortal King Yan Yang and Immortal King Qing Yang nodded.

As Immortal King experts, their senses were incomparably keen. If the Su Zimo earlier on was a clone, they would definitely have been able to see through his flaws!

Under the gazes of six Immortal King experts, he could deceive all of them with just a clone?

The Sect Master of the Academy had a dark expression and remained silent.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua was stunned on the spot and could not accept this for a moment.

Initially, he was looking forward to witnessing Su Zimo's death. To think that Su Zimo would disappear in front of the six Immortal Kings just like that.

He played the six Immortal Kings with just a clone!

"Where is he?"

King Yun You looked at the Sect Master of the Academy anxiously and said coldly, "He's only a Perfected Immortal right now. He can't have escaped far."

"Everyone, calm down. I'm divining it right now."

The Sect Master of the Academy said in a deep voice, "Even if he can hide for a moment, he won't be able to escape my calculations."

He waved his hands and conjured profound Dharmic arts, scattering many strange runes in front of him and divined continuously.

His eyes seemed to flash through a vast galaxy, a deep ocean and a surging mortal world that was mysterious and unfathomable.

A moment later, the Sect Master of the Academy's eyes returned to normal and he let out a deep breath.

"How's everything?"

King Yun You, Immortal King Yan Yang and the others asked hurriedly.

The Sect Master of the Academy had an ugly expression and remained silent.

"You couldn't divine it?"

King Yun You stared at the Sect Master of the Academy and asked doubtfully.

The Sect Master of the Academy shook his head slowly. "For some reason, this lad seems to be shrouded in a layer of fog that I can't divine."

"I got it."

Right then, Elder Eight suddenly said in a deep voice, "I once read about the Creation Green Lotus in an ancient book."

"It's said that after the Creation Green Lotus grows to a high level, it will give birth to some treasures, including a mysterious sutra."

"It's said that this sutra might be from the upper world. It contains the mysteries of the world and the truths of the Great Dao. Even the three great sword arts are derived from this sutra."

The Sect Master of the Academy said, "That makes sense."

"After this lad entered the Perfected One realm and obtained this sutra, he comprehended something. It was also because of the secret skill of this sutra that he could rely on a clone to hide from our senses!"

"It's also because of this sutra that I can't divine his location."

"Damn it!"

King Yun You could not hold it in any longer and cursed.

He had waited for many years. To think that Su Zimo would be able to escape in the end and his whereabouts were still unknown.

King Jin, Immortal King Qing Yang and the others had ashen expressions as well and their bodies were filled with killing intent.

The Immortal King experts were gathered here. To think that they would be fooled by the clone of a Perfected Immortal and obtain nothing in the end!

The Sect Master of the Academy closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he said, "It's not like there are no clues."

"Oh?"

"Spit it out!"

King Yun You and the others urged.

The Sect Master of the Academy said in a deep voice, "According to what I know, this lad did not return to the academy immediately after the Nine Firmament Meet ended. Instead, he followed Immortal Queen Ling Long to the Battle Kingdom."

"By the time he returned to the academy, his cultivation realm had already reached the Perfected One realm."

"If I'm not wrong, this lad should have broken through in the Battle Kingdom and cultivated the Green Lotus True Body to Grade 12."

King Yun You's expression was uncertain as he asked faintly, "In that case, the true body of this lad might still be in the Battle Kingdom?"

"It's indeed possible."

The Sect Master of the Academy nodded slightly. "Even if this lad is not in the Battle Kingdom, the Battle King and Immortal Queen Ling Long will definitely know his whereabouts."

Immortal King Yan Yang, Immortal King Qing Yang and the others frowned.

Immortal King Yan Yang frowned. "The Battle Kingdom is far away in the Green Firmament Immortal Domain. Furthermore, I heard that the Battle King's injuries have healed and his cultivation has already recovered to its peak. With the help of Immortal Queen Ling Long, we might not be able to gain an advantage even if we kill our way to their doorsteps."

"Fufu…"

The Sect Master of the Academy sneered, "The Battle King's tricks are enough to fool others but not me. His injuries have not healed at all and his previous actions were all just a farce!"

When they heard that, the eyes of King Yun You, Immortal King Qing Yang and the others lit up.

In the Battle Kingdom, only the Battle King was feared by everyone.

If the Battle King was injured and only Immortal Queen Ling Long was left, it would be difficult for her to hold on alone and she would not be able to stop them at all!

Immortal King Qing Yang pondered for a moment. "We're from the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain after all. If we head to the Green Firmament Immortal Domain, we'll probably attract the interference of Green Firmament Palace."

In the Green Firmament Immortal Domain, Green Firmament Palace would usually watch from the sidelines and ignore the fights between the major factions.

However, if an external faction started a fight in the Green Firmament Immortal Domain and wanted to eliminate its strength, Green Firmament Palace would not sit idly by.

"Hmph!"

King Jin said in a deep voice, "We have a good reason for heading over this time round. We are trying to hunt down this traitorous disciple. So what if Green Firmament Palace appears?"

"Could Green Firmament Palace publicly protect a traitor who betrayed his master and roots?"

"Exactly."

Elder Eight said, "That's the best reason. This is a rare opportunity and we can't miss it again."

King Yun You said coldly, "I heard that the Battle Kingdom has long been on the verge of collapse from both internal and external troubles. Let's see who dares to stop us from heading over to question them!"

"There's no time to lose. We'll set off immediately!"

King Jin said in a deep voice.

The Sect Master of the Academy said, "Everyone, go first. I'll cast another Dharmic art in Heaven and Earth Palace and try to divine this lad's location. If I discover anything, I'll inform you immediately."

King Yun You and the others exchanged glances and nodded before turning to leave.

A strange smile flashed through the Sect Master of the Academy's eyes as he watched everyone leave.
