Chapter 2553 Trouble
Meng Yao came to the middle of the hall and cupped her fists towards Immortal King Qing Yang. Thereafter, she surveyed her surroundings and declared, "The Heaven Ranking is for the human race. n.o.body from another race is allowed to fight for the Heaven Ranking."
"Of course."
Sword Immortal Yue Hua nodded. "Even cultivators from other Immortal Domains are not qualified to fight for the Heaven Ranking of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, let alone those of other races."
When he heard that, Su Zimo"s heart skipped a beat as he vaguely guessed something.
Suddenly!
He felt a strong sense of hostility from the crowd of Imperial Wind Temple.
Su Zimo"s gaze s.h.i.+fted and met with a pair of hateful eyes.
That person had white hair and looked withered—it was Heaven Immortal Luo Yang who was crippled by him in the Asura battlefield!
When he saw that person, Su Zimo was even more certain of his guess.
As the eldest disciple of Immortal Emperor Divine Firmament, Immortal King Qing Yang presided over Divine Firmament Palace. Naturally, he knew everything in the world and had also heard about the feud between Zither Immortal Meng Yao, the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Su Zimo.
With his experience, he could easily tell that Zither Immortal Meng Yao was clearly targeting Su Zimo when she suddenly stood out!
However, he was also curious and wanted to see how Meng Yao would deal with a disciple of Heaven and Earth Academy in Divine Firmament Palace in front of everyone.
After all, Heaven and Earth Academy was not to be trifled with either!
Immortal King Qing Yang had no intention of interfering and was prepared to watch the show.
"What do you mean by that, Fairy Meng Yao?"
Jue Wuying pretended not to know and asked, "Could it be that cultivators of other Immortal Domains have infiltrated the Heaven Ranking Prediction?"
"Fufu, it it"s a cultivator from another Immortal Domain, we can just chase him away."
Imperial Wind Temple"s Perfected Immortal Wu Feng chuckled. "What"s scary would be if someone from another race infiltrated the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain for nefarious reasons!"
There was someone from another race on the Heaven Ranking Prediction!
Most of the cultivators did not know what was going on nor did they know who the outsider Meng Yao and the others were referring to was.
Even Yun Ting frowned in confusion.
Yun Zhu observed the situation with a grim expression.
Up till now, Flying Immortal Sect, the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Imperial Wind Temple had already stood out.
From the looks of it, Meng Yao and the others should have discussed a plan long ago and were prepared to attack at the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet!
Furthermore, the reason given by Meng Yao and the others was extremely difficult to refute.
"There"s someone from another race on the Heaven Ranking Prediction?"
"Who is it? Capture him!"
"Those that are not of our race will definitely harbor evil intentions!"
The discussions in the Divine Firmament Hall intensified.
Meng Yao flicked her finger gently in the void and the sound of a zither sounded.
Everyone"s voices gradually faded.
Meng Yao said indifferently, "Everyone has heard of this person. In recent years, he"s rather famous in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain and is even backed by a heaven-grade sect."
The direction of that statement was extremely obvious!
This outsider was among the seven heaven-grade factions!
Sword Immortal Yue Hua smiled gently. "Fairy Meng Yao, feel free to speak. I believe that no matter which heaven-grade sect it is, they won"t protect him if they know that he"s from another race!"
"I"m relieved to hear that, Fellow Daoist Yue Hua."
Meng Yao nodded slightly. "Su Zimo of Heaven and Earth Academy is not from our race!"
Su Zimo had already guessed it earlier on and was not surprised by Meng Yao"s words.
However, an uproar broke out in the Divine Firmament Hall!
Everyone was shocked.
That statement was extremely powerful. Once verified, it was enough to destroy Su Zimo or even kill him!
Yang Ruoxu frowned and realized that the grim situation was extremely disadvantageous for Su Zimo.
For Meng Yao to say something like that, she must be definitely confident.
Although Mo Qing did not say anything, there was still a hint of worry in the depths of her eyes.
"How is that possible? Junior Brother Su is someone from another race?"
Sword Immortal Yue Hua looked surprised and in disbelief, as though he was still defending Su Zimo. He frowned. "Fairy Meng Yao, you can"t spout nonsense like that. It will also affect the reputation of our academy."
"Since I dare to say it, I"m naturally backed by sufficient evidence."
Meng Yao looked in the direction of Imperial Wind Temple and said, "Heaven Immortal Luo Yang, tell me everything you know."
Heaven Immortal Luo Yang was long prepared and recounted everything that happened on the Dragon Abyss Star in a half-truth manner.
"I do have some impression of what you"re talking about…"
Sword Immortal Yue Hua"s words further confirmed Heaven Immortal Luo Yang"s words.
"That"s right. I can testify to this as well. I was on the Dragon Abyss Star at that time!" Perfected Immortal Wu Feng said in a deep voice.
Heaven Immortal Luo Yang"s description was illusory and gave off the feeling that Su Zimo had a close connection with the Dragon race—he was just short of pointing out that Su Zimo was from the Dragon race!
The soul of the Azure Dragon and the divine dragon that appeared later on were rather strange.
In reality, this might not prove that there was a connection with Su Zimo. However, once something like this was said, it would lead to speculation, doubt and even suspicion.
Furthermore, there was Zither Immortal Meng Yao, Perfected Immortal Wu Feng and Sword Immortal Yue Hua as witnesses.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua was even a legacy disciple of Heaven and Earth Academy.
"What does that prove?"
Yang Ruoxu stood up and shook his head. "Let"s not talk about whether the soul of the Azure Dragon is related to Junior Brother Su or not. Even if it is, how can it prove that Junior Brother Su is from another race? Isn"t your judgment way too arbitrary?!"
Initially, Yun Ting thought that Meng Yao and the others would pull out some irrefutable evidence. To think that it was merely Heaven Immortal Luo Yang"s one-sided explanation.
"Tsk…"
Yun Ting sneered and looked at Perfected Immortal Wu Feng, pouting his lips. "Your mount is a golden ant. According to your claims, I can say that you"re from the Golden Ant race as well!"
There were not many people present who dared to speak to a Perfected Immortal like that or even mock a Perfected Immortal expert—Yun Ting happened to be one of them.
Although Perfected Immortal Wu Feng was secretly frustrated, he was wary and could not attack Yun Ting.
"I"m afraid it"s not arbitrary."
Perfected Immortal Mu Feng of Mountain Sea Immortal Sect said in a deep voice, "I heard that Su Zimo specializes in an extremely powerful sound domain secret skill of the Dragon race. How does he know the Dharmic Dao of the Dragon race?"
"That"s not all."
Jue Wuying said, "This person also knows the secret skill of the Dragon race, the True Dragon Nine Flashes."
Zong Feiyu stood out as well. "Seniors, back in the Asura battlefield, Su Zimo even released the Essence Spirit secret skill of the Dragon race, the Reverse Scale!"
"At that time, I did not continue fighting him and left the Asura Battlefield. It was not because I was afraid of him, but because I sensed something strange about his ident.i.ty. I wanted to leave as soon as possible so that I could report this matter to the sect."
In reality, Zong Feiyu did not recognize the origin of the Reverse Scale secret skill at all.
Indeed, he was forced back by the Reverse Scale. He only truly knew the Reverse Scale secret skill after returning to the sect and searching through many ancient books and information as well as asking the Immortal Kings of the sect.
"Reverse Scale?"
The expression of Immortal King Qing Yang changed.
Naturally, most cultivators did not know about that Essence Spirit secret skill.
However, as an Immortal King, he had long heard of this Essence Spirit secret skill of the Dragon race.
Even if other races obtained the cultivation technique of that secret skill, they would not be able to release it without the Essence Spirit of the Dragon race!
In that case, there might indeed be something wrong with Su Zimo"s ident.i.ty.
