Eternal Sacred King

“Miss Die, where are you going?”

Su Zimo chased all the way to the courtyard, feeling reluctant to part with her. He called out loud.

“Of course it’s back to my world.”

Die Yue turned around and looked at Su Zimo with a smile on her face, as she said jokingly, “You and I are from two different worlds.”

This was what Shen Mengqi said to Su Zimo when she left him back then.

Now that the same words were spoken by Die Yue, there was no contempt in it. Instead, it seemed as if they were very good longtime friends and were joking with each other. Of course, there was a hint of melancholy to it.

Die Yue had never used this tone when she spoke to Su Zimo. She seldom smiled at him. It was not until now that Su Zimo realize that Die Yue was really leaving him.

Unknowingly, Su Zimo had stood under the peach blossom tree for an entire night, not moving at all.

Finally, Su Zimo raised his head, looking into the distance, his eyes finally regained focus. He concealed the pain of separation and reluctance to part with Die Yue deep in his heart. He took a deep breath before he turned to leave.

…

Su Zimo passed by the Su family’s residence and halted in his tracks.

Supposedly, everyone in the Su family should be hiding at Sky Treasure Pavilion at Cang Lang City. But right now, the door to the mansion was opened and he could vaguely hear sounds coming from within.

Su Zimo felt perplexed and went in to check.

“Second Young Master?”

“Second Young Master is back!”

Everyone in the Su family’s residence was elated to see Su Zimo. Su Hong came out with the rest to welcome Su Zimo.

“Zimo, are you alright?”

Su Hong came forward, grabbing hold of Su Zimo’s shoulder and sized him up.

“I am alright.” Su Zimo shook his head, asking, “Why aren’t all of you at Sky Treasure Pavilion?”

Song Qi said, “We were going to leave Ping Yang Town when a red-robed lady turned up all of a sudden to stop us.”

As Song Qi was recollecting what happened, he still could not hide the shock that he felt back then. “The lady was very powerful. She did not need to leverage any external objects and she could fly into the air. She must at least be a Golden Core Cultivator! She told all of us to wait for her, saying that she would bring you back.”

“And she disappeared right in front of us!”

At the mention of the lady, everyone in the Su family could not hide their appalled and shocked expression.

Su Zimo hung his head, no one noticed the loneliness and sadness in his eyes.

“Zimo, is that lady your master?”

Everyone in the Su family could tell that Su Zimo had undergone a total transformation. He had changed from a frail scholar to a warrior who could slay Qi Refinement Warriors. It must be due to the mysterious lady.

“She is not my master.”

Su Zimo shook his head.

Although Die Yue taught him demon cultivation, Su Zimo had never treated Die Yue as his master.

“Where is the lady? We have to express our gratitude to her. We must not neglect her,” Su Hong continued to say.

“She’s gone.”

Su Zimo said softly.

Everyone was silent.

Su Zimo recovered himself and smiled. “Brother, what plans do you have next?”

The Su family’s situation was tricky. They could not go to the Country of Yan, and they could not stay in the Country of Qi. They could only leave their homeland to stay in other states.

“I have no idea as well.”

Su Hong sighed softly, looking toward the Country of Yan that was far in the distance as he said in a low voice, “I still can’t bear to leave.”

Right then, a black armored cavalry galloped from afar and shouted loudly even before he reached. “Report, Young Master, the Country of Yan’s army are closing in. There are at least hundreds of thousands of them. Among them were cultivators as well!”
