Chapter 1964: Spirit Consciousness Imprint Translator: Legge

Not far away from Prince Yuan Zuo’s carriage, a group of people stood. There were more than a hundred of them and they were drenched in blood—they were the Black Immortals of the lower worlds who entered the Ten Absolute Hell earlier on.

Tang Ziyi was among them.

At that moment, Tang Ziyi was expressionless as she looked at Su Zimo and shook her head gently.

That action was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.

However, Su Zimo knew in his heart that given Tang Ziyi’s character, she would not reveal such unnecessary actions unless there was no choice.

It was more like a reminder!

Tang Ziyi could tell that he wanted to escape and was warning him!

Su Zimo was expressionless and did not act rashly. He cupped his fists in the direction of Prince Yuan Zuo and said, “I’m Su Zimo. May I know what you mean by that?”

“I’ve already said that I’ll choose a hundred people on the Hunting Ranking to be my followers after this Hunting Meet,”

Prince Yuan Zuo flicked his fingernails and let out a faint sound of metal clashing.

Su Zimo’s expression was calm. “I don’t seem to be on the Hunting Ranking.”

“That’s right,”

Prince Yuan Zuo laughed. “However, I’ve noticed you long ago. The dozens of Grade 9 Black Immortals attacking you earlier on was actually a test for you.”

“If you won them, you would have had a chance to be the last among this hundred!”

Su Zimo’s gaze swept past Tang Ziyi’s side and he counted in his heart. There were 99 cultivators there and there were exactly a hundred including him.

“Of course, if you had lost, any of the dozens of Black Immortals who killed you would have been the last lucky person,”

Prince Yuan Zuo continued with a smile.

He did not care about the lives of the Black Immortals of the lower worlds at all, including Su Zimo.

Although he paid attention to Su Zimo, he would definitely not step in if Su Zimo was truly defeated and killed.

“I’m flattered that you think highly of me, Your Highness,”

Su Zimo replied indifferently.

Prince Yuan Zuo continued, “Congratulations on passing the second test.”

Su Zimo frowned slightly in confusion.

The second test?

Prince Yuan Zuo said coldly, “You were very honest and did not choose to escape earlier on. If you had, you would have been a corpse by now!”

Su Zimo was silent but was still in slight disbelief internally.

If he released his Extreme Speed divine power, he should have a chance to escape.

Right then, Prince Yuan Zuo stood up slowly and looked at Tang Ziyi and the others who were not far away, shouting, “All of you, listen up!”

“Apart from talent and methods that surpass others, my followers have to be absolutely loyal and obedient!”

“If any of you dare to betray me, I’ll make you suffer a fate worse than death!”

There was a hint of ruthlessness in the tone of Prince Yuan Zuo that made one shudder.

“Don’t worry, Your Highness,”

Li Tian was the first to stand out and shout, “It’s my honor to have the chance to follow Your Highness!”

“Not only would I not betray you, if I discover anyone who’s disloyal, I’ll be the first to step in and clean up the traitors for you, Your Highness!”

With that said, Li Tian surveyed his surroundings with a ferocious gaze.

“Very good,”

Prince Yuan Zuo nodded in satisfaction.

He flipped his palm and took out the pitch-black Hunting Ranking, unfolding it slowly.

There were a hundred Black Immortals written on the Hunting Ranking.

Su Zimo narrowed his eyes slightly.

He could even see his name on the Hunting Ranking!

Prince Yuan Zuo said smugly, “The Hunting Badge originates from the Hunting Ranking. When you engrave your spirit consciousness imprint on the Hunting Badge, it will be displayed on the Hunting Ranking at the same time.”

“With your spirit consciousness imprints, I can sense you no matter where you go with the help of the Hunting Ranking!”

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.

It was only now that he understood Tang Ziyi’s warning.

This Hunting Ranking was the true threat!

If he released his Extreme Speed divine power, even if he could escape from this place, it would be difficult for him to escape from the detection of Prince Yuan Zuo with his spirit consciousness imprint on the Hunting Ranking.

Therefore, he would be hunted continuously.

No matter where he was or where he was hidden, it was difficult for him to escape the detection of Prince Yuan Zuo!

At that time, he would indeed be doomed.

Back when Su Zimo left his spirit consciousness imprint on the Hunting Badge, he was already hesitant.

However, he had no choice given the circumstances.

To think that the spirit consciousness imprint would become a sharp sword that hovered above his head and could slash down at any moment!

Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief and gave up on the thought of escaping for the time being.

He wanted to see what Prince Yuan Zuo was plotting by spending so much effort to choose a hundred Black Immortals who were absolutely loyal to him!

“Time to head back,”

Prince Yuan Zuo waved his hand and returned to the carriage. Immediately, women came forward. Some of them massaged his shoulders and some of them hammered his legs gently to his satisfaction.

Su Zimo arrived among the hundred people as well.

They were on a small immortal ship that had prepared new clothes for them as well. There were many immortal fruits, wine and even healing elixirs!

Li Tian and the others were covered in injuries after the battle in the Ten Absolute Hell. At that moment, they needed those items and dispersed quickly.

A few people stood on the deck of the immortal ship.

Although Tang Ziyi killed many people in the Ten Absolute Hell, she looked refreshing and did not have any bloodstains.

Given her character, there was no way she would get together with others to drink and have fun.

Tang Ziyi stood on the deck and looked at the sky ahead with a calm expression, deep in thought.

Just as Su Zimo was about to advance, Tang Ziyi’s voice sounded in his consciousness.

“Don’t come over!”

Tang Ziyi’s back was facing Su Zimo and she did not turn back, merely sending a voice transmission with her spirit consciousness.

“Why?” Su Zimo’s activated his spirit consciousness and asked.

Tang Ziyi said, “You had better pretend not to know me lest you get into trouble.”

After a brief pause, she continued, “Also, I’ve just returned you a favor. I still owe you one.”

Su Zimo shrugged his shoulders gently.

The reason why he helped Tang Ziyi was mainly because of the Thunder Emperor. He did not care or expect her to return any favors.

However, Tang Ziyi took this matter seriously and calculated it extremely clearly, as though she was unwilling to owe anyone anything.

“What are you doing?”

Su Zimo sent a voice transmission and asked.

Tang Ziyi remained silent, as though she did not want to speak to Su Zimo anymore.

However, Su Zimo did not give up and continued asking, “When Prince Yuan Zuo retreated, I noticed that you followed him secretly.”

“It’s none of your business. You’d better not ask further,”

After a long silence, Tang Ziyi finally spoke with a cold tone.

Su Zimo smiled.

Was she trying to assassinate the prince?

Su Zimo could vaguely guess that Tang Ziyi’s target was most likely Prince Yuan Zuo.

However, he knew better than anyone that there was no chance to get close to Prince Yuan Zuo, let alone assassinate him!

Notwithstanding the fact that the cultivation of Prince Yuan Zuo was already higher than Tang Ziyi…

The three thousand Earth Immortal beauties beside Prince Yuan Zuo alone were enough to give one a headache.
