Chapter 3310: How Can I Forget?
Gu Yao Courtyard.
Uncle Feng arrived at the courtyard and stood in front of the stone bridge. He looked at the neatly folded old clothes beneath his feet and was puzzled.
“Master, he’s already gone.”
Uncle Feng did not advance and merely stood on the stone bridge, bowing.
“Yeah.”
Ji Yaoxue replied absent-mindedly.
“These clothes…”
Uncle Feng probed.
“Throw them away.”
Ji Yaoxue returned to her previous cold demeanor and said indifferently.
“Yes.”
Uncle Feng picked up the old clothes and was about to turn and leave.
“Hold on!”
Just as Uncle Feng was about to leave, Ji Yaoxue stopped him and said softly, “Just leave them there.”
When Uncle Feng heard that, he sighed internally and placed the old clothes back where they were.
“I had no intention of meeting him in the first place.”
A hint of anger flashed through Ji Yaoxue’s beautiful eyes. “It’s all because this person said something along the lines of how important she was to him and how he couldn’t let her go that I wanted to meet him so that he could give up completely!”
Uncle Feng said, “Master, you’ve done your best by giving the Merits Gold Lotus to him this time round. In the future, when the Saint Lord comes out of seclusion after recovering from his injuries, he will inevitably pursue this matter.”
“I didn’t.”
Ji Yaoxue said, “He won the Heavenly Supremacies Battle himself. I didn’t help.”
Uncle Feng had a helpless expression as he smiled bitterly.
If not for the fact that Su Zimo’s ident.i.ty was exposed in advance and the four Saint race beings appeared, given Su Zimo’s methods, the Merits Gold Lotus would have been given to him for nothing.
Uncle Feng said, “Even so, giving the one and only Merits Gold Lotus in the world as a reward for the Peerless Heavenly Supremacy is way too much. The Saint Lord will definitely question it.”
“Hmph!”
Suddenly, Ji Yaoxue sneered, “Have him come and question me directly then!”
Uncle Feng was silent.
He knew that ever since the turmoil in the major chiliocosm more than six billion years ago, a crack had appeared in the father and daughter relations.h.i.+p of the Saint Lord and Saint Gu Yao.
From then on, Saint Gu Yao moved out of the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary and lived in this Gu Yao Courtyard.
Regarding that, Uncle Feng did not dare to say anything.
Ji Yaoxue beckoned and the old clothes on the other end of the stone bridge floated into her arms.
She extended her finger and caressed the slightly faded robes gently. Her gaze gradually softened and her vision blurred, as though images of the past flashed through her mind.
However, immediately after, she shuddered and her lifeforce vanished significantly. Her face turned incomparably pale and she spat out a mouthful of blood, scattering it on the robes.
“Master!”
When he saw that, Uncle Feng could not bear it and called out softly. He took a step forward and persuaded, “Why are you doing this?”
Ji Yaoxue merely lowered her head in silence with a dejected expression.
Around her, the Great Dao appeared faintly, but cracks appeared and there were even signs of collapse!
“Master, with your talent, you could have taken the next step to become a Great Saint long ago.”
Uncle Feng said, “However, if you’re still attached to this and can’t forget about him, you might die with your Dao dissipated, let alone become a Great Saint!”
“Get out!”
Ji Yaoxue said coldly.
Uncle Feng opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he sighed and bowed before leaving.
Ji Yaoxue was the only one left in the water pavilion.
She looked at the clothes in her arms in a daze and murmured, “How can I forget…”
Thereafter, she took off the Dream Badge on her waist and looked at the white jade pendant, saying softly, “For the sake of Master’s high hopes of me, I have to forget!”
“I’m sorry…”
…
After Su Zimo left Gu Yao Courtyard and recalled the scene of him reuniting with Yaoxue, he was frustrated and could not calm down for a long time.
However, he also knew that the danger that originated from the four Saint race beings had yet to be resolved.
Right now, he had to head to Baldachin State to find the whereabouts of the four lotus seeds.
He released his blood qi towards the southeast of the major chiliocosm and sprinted with all his might, as though he wanted to vent something. His mind was in chaos as well.
He only left the South Region after a long period of time.
Standing at the border of the South Region, Su Zimo stopped in his tracks and turned to look in the direction of Gu Yao Courtyard. He stood there quietly for a long time before turning to leave.
In reality, the moment he returned to the Southeast Region, he could already vaguely sense the approximate location of the four lotus seeds.
This was also a change brought about by the advancement of his Essence Spirit realm through the synthesis of the three lotus flowers.
The three lotus flowers were connected to the bloodline of the four lotus seeds.
Su Zimo roughly judged the direction and headed in that direction.
Baldachin State.
Ever since Palace Lord Heavenly Spider died, Five Poisons Palace only had four Palace Lords left.
Although Five Poisons Palace still had three Paramount Supremacy experts, none of the three of them were qualified to be one of the Palace Lords.
Among the original five Palace Lords, only Heavenly Spider and Heavenly Centipede were perfected Dao Hegemony realm Paramount Supremacy experts.
Heavenly Snake and Heavenly Scorpion were greater mastery of the Dao Hegemony realm Major Supremacy experts.
Heavenly Toad was only a lesser mastery of the Dao Hegemony realm Dao Supremacy expert.
The main reason why the five of them could become Palace Lords of Five Poisons Palace was of Saint Poison backing them.
On this day.
The four Palace Lords and the Dao Supremacy experts of Five Poisons Palace gathered in the Five Poison Hall.
“There’s news from the South Region that the various Sanctuaries have indeed appeared at the Heavenly Supremacy Meet of the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary this time round. Including the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary, five Saint race beings have taken action!”
At that point, Palace Lord Heavenly Centipede chuckled. “To think that apart from the one from the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary, the other four of the five Saint race beings are all dead!”
The expressions of the Dao Supremacies below changed starkly when they heard that.
“This person can actually kill four Saint race beings?”
“I reckon that it must be because the five Saint race beings broke out in battle. That’s the reason why this person could reap the benefits.”
Palace Lord Heavenly Scorpion said, “No matter what, the four Sanctuaries won’t let the matter rest after losing four Saint race beings. This person doesn’t have long to live.”
“Where is he now?”
A Dao Supremacy asked.
“I’m not sure.”
Palace Lord Heavenly Snake shook his head gently. “It’s said that someone saw him in the Southeast Region.”
“This person dared to return?”
“Otherwise, where can he hide? Apart from the endless flames of war in the northwest, where else can he hide in the major chiliocosm after offending the four Sanctuaries?”
“Report—”
Right then, a long howl sounded from outside the hall.
A Heavenly Supremacy of Five Poisons Palace sped over and entered the hall. He knelt in front of the Dao Supremacies and shouted, “Palace Lords, Su Zimo has appeared in Baldachin State!”
“Oh?”
The four Palace Lords’ eyes lit up when they heard that.
“Is he alone?”
Palace Lord Heavenly Toad asked.
“Yes, he’s alone.”
The Heavenly Supremacy replied.
The four Sanctuaries had their sights set on Su Zimo and wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the Creation Green Lotus and Karmic Fire Red Lotus. Naturally, Five Poisons Palace did not dare to get in their way.
However, if they could kill this person in Baldachin State, taking revenge for Palace Lord Heavenly Spider would only be one of the benefits.
On the other hand, they could also hand Su Zimo over to the four Sanctuaries to claim credit and might be able to obtain many benefits!
The four Palace Lords sent voice transmissions with their spirit consciousnesses and communicated.
Palace Lord Heavenly Centipede said in a deep voice, “Everyone, follow me and we’ll trail him from afar. Don’t attack first and carefully check if there are any other experts following him.”
After what happened to Palace Lord Heavenly Spider, the four Palace Lords did not dare to be careless, afraid that another expert like Paramount Supremacy Evil Destruction would appear beside Su Zimo.
