Chapter 247 - Great Zhou Capital
After Lin Xuanji left, Su Zimo took out the map and compared against it carefully.
A moment later, he discovered to his shock that his current location was less than five kilometers away from the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
The Minor Transference Talisman that was used in the primordial ruin had actually teleported them nearby the Great Zhou’s capital!
After the battle at Dongling Valley, Su Zimo’s rampant escape had brought him a long way away from Ethereal Peak.
Without any other means, given his cultivation realm, if he were to leave from this place, it would take him several months to reach back to Ethereal Peak even if he were to rush day and night without any rest or sleep.
Worried about the safety of everyone from Ethereal Peak, Su Zimo pondered for a moment and decided to check out the capital first and see if he could find out any news.
Putting away the map, he soared into the skies on his flying sword with Night Spirit and sped in the direction of the capital.
An hour later, at the border between the sky and the ground ahead, a towering black walled city came into view.
The cultivators nodded in realization.
Someone said, “That massacre was a huge blow for Ethereal Peak! From what I know, only a dozen or so out of the many Foundation Establishment disciples managed to escape. Of the three great legacy disciples, two of them died in that battle.”
Su Zimo felt slightly better that it wasn’t a complete annihilation.
However, he was still worried about little fatty and Leng Rou’s safety.
“What about the Golden Cores of Ethereal Peak? What happened to them?” Su Zimo pondered for a moment and asked.
“It’s even worse!”
A cultivator at the side shook his head and replied, “I heard that of Ethereal Peak’s five Golden Cores, only one managed to escape and he was seriously injured. No one knows if he’s dead or alive.”
Su Zimo sighed internally.
As they had mentioned, the blow for Ethereal Peak was huge!
Almost all of their top Foundation Establishment Cultivators had perished in Dongling Valley.
Only, he did not know whether Peak Master Wen Xuan or Elder Yu was the Golden Core who had escaped.
Right then, another cultivator added, “I heard news that initially, none of the Ethereal Peak disciples could escape at all. However, a change happened to the situation. In order to save his sect mates, one of the disciples decided to sacrifice himself and lure away more than half of the enemies…”
“Yes, I’ve heard about that as well. It’s truly a pity that someone like that is dead,” Another person shook his head with a regrettable expression.
Su Zimo realized that the disciple of Ethereal Peak they were talking about should be referring to him. However, what they knew was far from the actual truth.
“Actually, that person might not be dead, right?” Su Zimo continued casually.
“Heh!”
Someone scoffed coldly, “He was being hunted down by a few Golden Cores and countless Foundation Establishment Cultivators. How could he have survived?”
Another cultivator chimed in, “If he’s not dead, I’ll pluck my head off right now and let you guys kick it around like a ball…”
