Chapter 440 - Commencement of the Battle
When he heard that, Su Zimo frowned.
Just as he was about to retort, Demoness Ji tiptoed beside his ear and whispered, “The Human Emperor’s Palace has just descended and everyone’s aiming for the throne. The successors of the immortal, fiend and Buddhist sects will tacitly eliminate the other cultivators first.”
“If you’re alone, you’ll definitely be targeted. How about following the fiend sects first? It’ll only benefit you.”
In reality, Su Zimo had two reasons for coming here. On the one hand, it was for the Human Emperor’s Palace. On the other hand, he wanted to test out the elites and paragons of the super sects!
He had no fear of being targeted at all!
However, Demoness Ji was leaning towards his ear flirtatiously. Her tender voice and scent of a maiden stirred Su Zimo’s heart and he did not reject her, as if possessed.
Right after, Su Zimo snapped out of his daze in a shock and lamented internally, “Impressive!”
Demoness Ji’s charm was everywhere and it was impossible to guard against her.
Everyone followed Pang Yue’s gaze.
The battlefield was mostly cleaned up and the only people left under the cover of the Human Emperor’s Palace were the successors of the immortal, fiend and Buddhist sects.
Among them, successors from seven of the nine immortal sects were present, including Hang Qiuyu of Sword Sect and Ao Yuxiao of Purple Firmament Sect.
Of the six Buddhist monasteries, five successors were present. Apart from Monk Jue Chen of Diamond Monastery, there were monks from Hollow Monastery Monastery, Formless Monastery, Wisdom Monastery and a nun from Clear Heart Nunnery.
Of the seven fiend sects, Xue Yang of Malevolent Earth Sect was already dead and there was no signs of the Thousand-faced Assassin from Hidden Death Sect.
Apart from Su Zimo, the other four fiend heirs and the demoness were present.
These nearly twenty cultivators could be considered as the top paragons of the Foundation Establishment realm in the entire Tianhuang Mainland.
Apart from Su Zimo, the rest of the cultivators were at eight meridian Foundation Establishment!
The reason why something felt amiss was because the seven paragons of the immortal sects led by Hang Qiuyu of Sword Sect and Ao Yuxiao of Purple Firmament Sect as well as the four monks and one nun seemed to be joining forces as they surrounded the fiend heirs!
“Hang Qiuyu, Ao Yuxiao, Jue Chen. What’s the meaning of this?” Narrowing his gaze, Pang Yue asked slowly.
“Nothing much,”
Hang Qiuyu’s lips curled up and he swayed his slender fingers. “After destroying the fiend sects, we’ll naturally choose someone from the immortal and Buddhist sects to take on the Human Emperor’s Palace’s inheritance.”
The fiend heirs frowned.
Including Su Zimo, there were only six of them.
However, there were a total of twelve people when the paragons of the immortal and Buddhist sects were added together!
In other words, each of them had to face at least two paragons!
Pang Yue of Overlord Palace was publicly acknowledged as the strongest among the fiend heirs.
However, he would not dare to claim victory against Hang Qiuyu, Ao Yuxiao and Jue Chen, let alone if he had to deal with two people at one go.
Demoness Ji raised her voice. “The situation is clear right now with three distinct lineages and a total of 18 cultivators. We can just fight in pairs to decide the final victor to obtain the Human Emperor’s Palace’s inheritance. That will be considered as fairness.”
Monk Jue Chen’s gaze swept past Su Zimo and paused for a brief moment before landing on Demoness Ji’s face as he sneered, “The situation will be even clearer after destroying the fiend sects.”
“Fair?”
Ao Yuxiao shook his head. “There’s no fairness to speak of in front of the Human Emperor’s Palace. Furthermore, fiends are evil beings that should be punished!”
“Su Zimo, if you see that the situation is not right, don’t be stubborn and leave this place quickly!”
Suddenly, Demoness Ji extended her finger and poked Su Zimo’s waist, whispering to him.
