Eternal Sacred King
chapter-2458

Immortal King Yan Yang had many concubines and many descendants—it was said that there were hundreds of them.

Anyone with the royal bloodline could be conferred the title of prince or princess.

However, the difference in status between the princes was extremely obvious.

The Great Jin Immortal Kingdom had a total of 16 counties and more than a thousand immortal cities. The Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom had 23 counties and more than 2,000 cities.

Only princes who ruled over a county could be considered as princes with true power in the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom. As for the other princes and princesses, they merely had a title of idle princes and princesses.

Back then, Xie Tianhong, who died in the hands of the Martial Dao Prime Body, was the prince who presided over Spirit Cloud County. He was extremely powerful and not only did he have Perfected Immortal experts guarding him, he could also mobilize a certain number of Perfected Immortals.

As for idle princes like Xie Qingcheng, they could only mobilize some Heaven Immortals at most, let alone Perfected Immortal experts of the Immortal Kingdoms.

The situation of the three Immortal Kingdoms was similar.

For example, in the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, if the position of a prince with authority was vacated, Immortal King Yan Yang would even let his descendants fight among themselves to choose the most outstanding successors.

It was because the difference in status between idle princes and princes who truly controlled territories was great that Jue Wuying did not take Xie Qingcheng seriously.

"Take Feng Ziyi away and leave that old thing for me."

Jue Wuying said coldly.

The Execution Guards below obeyed and surrounded Feng Ziyi.

Xie Qingcheng frowned and took a deep breath. He led the hundreds of Heaven Immortals behind him and shielded Feng Ziyi and Perfected Immortal Burial Night from the Execution Guards.

"Xie Qingcheng, don't test my patience."

Jue Wuying said, "I'll say it again. Don't be a busybody!"

Xie Qingcheng smiled. "Exalted Immortal Wuying, please show mercy and let them live. I guarantee that they will definitely not appear in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain in the future!"

"Watch out!"

Right then, Perfected Immortal Burial Night suddenly reminded.

"Pfft!"

Before Xie Qingcheng could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and spat out an arrow of blood. His blood qi deteriorated rapidly!

Xie Qingcheng clutched his chest and grunted.

Nobody saw Jue Wuying attack.

However, his chest was pierced and his heart exploded!

Furthermore, there was still a remnant wisp of True Essence sword qi left behind by Jue Wuying, preventing the wound from healing within a short period of time.

Xie Qingcheng's body trembled slightly and his face was pale. He was already sweating profusely. However, he forced a smile. "As expected of one of the three great sword immortals. Your Shadowless Sword was completely silent and without any traces!"

"This is just a lesson for you."

Jue Wuying looked down at Xie Qingcheng with his long and narrow eyes. "If there's a next time, I'll pierce your Essence Spirit with my sword!"

"So, Jue Wuying of the three great sword immortals of Divine Firmament is someone who bullies the weak!"

Right then, accompanied by that voice, an exquisite yakatabune spirit vessel tore through the air and arrived before them in the blink of an eye.

On the yakatabune stood three people, two men and a woman.

Xie Qingcheng felt slightly relieved when he saw who it was.

"Ziyi, look!"

A glint flashed through the hazy eyes of Perfected Immortal Burial Night when he caught sight of someone on the yakatabune. "It's him!"

Feng Ziyi glanced sideways and her heart stirred when she saw the green-robed scholar on the yatabune.

The three people on the yakatabune were Su Zimo, Yang Ruoxu and Princess Scarlet Rainbow!

"Heaven and Earth Academy?"

Jue Wuying swept his gaze across the sect badges on the waists of Su Zimo and the others and murmured softly with an unchanged expression.

"Brother Qingcheng!"

When Princess Scarlet Rainbow saw Xie Qingcheng's appearance, her expression changed and she exclaimed. She leaped down from the yakatabune and ran over.

Xie Qingcheng forced a smile. "I'm fine. I'll be fine after going back to recuperate."

"Brother Xie!"

In a flash, Su Zimo arrived beside Xie Qingcheng as well. He had a worried expression and was suppressing immense rage!

Even though he was injured, Xie Qingcheng pretended to be relaxed and teased, "You guys are finally here. If you hadn't arrived, I would have really made a run for it."

"Thank you!"

Su Zimo was touched. Although he did not say anything, he remembered this loyalty in his heart.

If not for Xie Qingcheng, he would not have been able to find Feng Ziyi and Perfected Immortal Burial Night.

Furthermore, in order to buy time, Xie Qingcheng even took the risk and was implicated, severely injured!

Actually, Su Zimo merely instructed Xie Qingcheng to look for someone.

Xie Qingcheng and Feng Ziyi did not know one another. Even if he did not stop them, Su Zimo would not blame him at all.

However, Xie Qingcheng still stood out.

Although he looked meek on the surface, he was courageous on the inside!

Su Zimo arrived before Feng Ziyi and Perfected Immortal Burial Night who was in a weak state. He could not help but frown with a terrible expression.

With his experience, he could naturally tell that Perfected Immortal Burial Night was at the end of his road.

Coupled with his injuries, Perfected Immortal Burial Night could die at any moment!

"Lad, you're here."

The corners of Perfected Immortal Burial Night's mouth twitched as he tried his best to squeeze out a smile.

Feng Ziyi did not say anything but looked at Su Zimo deeply.

Su Zimo said in a deep voice, "Senior, don't worry. I'll take you guys away!"

"I'm already someone who's about to die, don't worry about me."

Perfected Immortal Burial Night said, "Take Ziyi away and take good care of her."

"Since when did Heaven and Earth Academy like to be so nosy?"

A Perfected Immortal of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom suddenly sneered, "The three of you think that you can snatch him from the hands of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom?"

Yang Ruoxu came to Xie Qingcheng's side and pushed down on his chest, wanting to purge away the True Essence left behind by Jue Wuying.

However, he tried a few times in succession but failed.

Jue Wuying was a Paradise Void Perfected Immortal while Yang Ruoxu was only a Convergence Perfected Immortal—the difference between them was way too great!

Jue Wuying looked at Yang Ruoxu's actions and said, "You were the one who said that I was bullying the weak, right? Given your cultivation, you think you can get rid of the True Essence sword qi I left behind?"

"Fufufu… are all people from the academy so ignorant?"

"Who is that? He looks unfamiliar. I don't think I've seen him before?"

"Judging from his cultivation realm, he must have just become a legacy disciple of the academy."

"You've just entered the Perfected One realm. Do you really think that you're omnipotent? Let me tell you the truth, you still have a long way to go!"

The other Perfected Immortals of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom chuckled with mocking expressions.

"You guys are so noisy."

Suddenly, a voice sounded from a room of the yakatabune spirit vessel. Although it could not conceal the disdain and disgust in the voice towards everyone from the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, it was extremely pleasant.

Immediately after, a woman walked out of the yakatabune and stood at the bow.

A gentle breeze blew and the woman's clothes fluttered. She had a graceful figure and her black hair was tied into a bun. She was like a fairy from the nine heavens who had walked out of an ancient painting and was breathtakingly beautiful!

The mockery and private conversations from earlier on vanished instantly.

Everyone's gazes landed on the woman and could not shift away.
