Chapter 2565 Settled Dust
"Alright, today"s matter will end here."
The voice of Immortal King Qing Yang was neither fast nor slow, but it contained an invisible might.
Everyone present, Chess Immortal Jun Yu included, did not persist in their actions.
During this period of time, the wounds on Meng Yao"s face had already healed.
She looked at Su Zimo who was safe and sound not far away and finally felt indignant. She could not help but say, "Immortal King Qing Yang, this lad has a suspicious ident.i.ty. Senior, please take action and verify his true ident.i.ty!"
"There"s no need."
Immortal King Qing Yang said indifferently, "The Sect Master of the Academy has just sent a letter and it"s stated very clearly that this lad is not from the Dragon race and has nothing to do with the Dragon World."
The Sect Master of the Academy had stepped in!
Upon hearing that, everyone realized that Su Zimo was completely out of danger.
As for Meng Yao, Sword Immortal Yue Hua and the others who had just slandered him, they looked even more ridiculous now.
"I long knew that Su Zimo definitely had nothing to do with the Dragon World."
"That"s right, if he was from another race, wouldn"t the Sect Master of the Academy have discovered it long ago? How could he even join the sect?"
"It seems like Heaven and Earth Academy thinks highly of Su Zimo to be able to get the Sect Master of the Academy to step in and protect him."
Among the cultivators who were discussing, many of them were shouting earlier on, wanting nothing more than to tear Su Zimo into pieces.
But now, the speed at which their expressions changed was breathtaking.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua"s expression was terrible.
They were on the brink of success today. He knew in his heart that it would be difficult for him to have another chance as such to attack Su Zimo in the future.
Given the potential Su Zimo currently displayed, he would definitely be able to become a Perfected Immortal in the future. At that time, he would become a personal disciple of the Sect Master.
Furthermore, given Su Zimo"s foundation, this person might even threaten his status in the academy in the future!
Right now, he could only rely on Yun Ting to kill Su Zimo in the fight for Rank 1 on the Heaven Ranking!
That was the only way he could resolve this matter.
"The Sect Master of the Academy is truly unfathomable and can calculate everything. He even knows about what"s going on in Divine Firmament Palace."
Immortal King Qing Yang murmured meaningfully.
"Junior Brother Su, you can rest a.s.sured now."
Mo Qing heaved a sigh of relief. "The academy has always been fair and will definitely not let you suffer or be framed."
"Master has personally appeared to protect you this time round. Let"s see who else dares to say anything!"
Mo Qing looked at Sword Immortal Yue Hua in disgust.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua"s behavior this time round had made her completely disappointed in this senior brother.
To begin with, she did not have much feelings towards Sword Immortal Yue Hua. However, at the very least, she acknowledged him as her senior brother.
From this day forth, she was not even willing to acknowledge his ident.i.ty as Senior Brother Yue Hua!
Su Zimo remained silent.
He was naturally grateful that the Sect Master of the Academy was willing to step in.
However, he did not agree with Mo Qing"s words of fairness.
For someone like Sword Immortal Yue Hua who joined forces with outsiders to attack his fellow sect mate, he should be severely punished!
At best, his cultivation should be crippled and he should be kicked out of the academy. Even if he was killed, it wouldn"t be overboard.
However, the Sect Master of the Academy did not say anything.
Of course, he might have some difficulties or it might be due to other reasons.
Although Su Zimo was displeased, he would not mention it nor would he make use of the sect"s power to suppress Sword Immortal Yue Hua.
After today"s matter, things were irreconcilable between them. Only one of them would be alive in the future and there was no room for negotiation!
If he made use of the sect rules to punish Sword Immortal Yue Hua, it would be way too easy on the latter.
One day, Su Zimo would settle him personally!
Right then, Immortal King Qing Yang raised his voice and said, "Due to the changes that occurred in the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet, the fight for the Heaven Ranking will be postponed for three days."
No one had any objections to that.
Firstly, the Divine Firmament Hall was already in a mess and needed to be repaired.
This was originally a battlefield prepared for the Heaven Ranking battle—how could it withstand the killing power of dozens of Perfected Immortals?
The entire battlefield had already turned into ruins with almost no place to settle down.
Secondly, more than ten Perfected Immortal experts died in the battle earlier on.
Even Jue Wuying, one of the three great sword immortals, was dead.
This was considered a huge matter. Be it the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom or Flying Immortal Sect, they both required some time to deal with it.
Of course, the three days would not amount to nothing for the many cultivators who were here for the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet.
In Divine Firmament Palace, there were various marketplaces where cultivators could exchange for treasures and it was bustling.
Every year, some cultivators would find treasures in these marketplaces.
After saying that, Immortal King Qing Yang left.
Many cultivators in the Divine Firmament Hall discussed the battle of the Perfected Immortals excitedly and gradually retreated.
Some of them wandered around Divine Firmament Palace.
Some of them returned to their residences to recuperate and adjust their conditions, prepared to face the ranking battle of the Heaven Ranking three days later.
"Su Zimo, be honest. What"s your relations.h.i.+p with my sister?"
Right then, Yun Ting"s voice sounded in Su Zimo"s mind with an unfriendly tone.
"We can be considered as friends."
Su Zimo replied.
"Friends? Who are you kidding? What kind of a friend can make my sister fight with her life on the line?!"
Yun Ting scoffed and said sourly, "Even if something happens to me, my sister might not be so nervous!"
He had long noticed that Yun Zhu"s treatment of Su Zimo was unusual.
Yun Zhu"s behavior today confirmed his guess even more!
"Su Zimo, let me warn you, don"t harbor designs on my sister!"
Yun Ting sent another voice transmission and said fiercely.
Su Zimo was a little helpless. "You"ve misunderstood. There"s nothing between me and Yun Zhu."
In his opinion, the reason why Yun Zhu was willing to stand out and help him was because he had once saved her life in Avici.
This matter involved the Martial Dao Prime Body and he would naturally not explain it in detail to Yun Ting.
"Hey!"
Right then, Yun Zhu suddenly sent a voice transmission to Su Zimo"s spirit consciousness and asked in a seemingly casual manner, "How do you know Jun Yu?"
Su Zimo said, "I don"t know her. Today is also the first time I"m seeing her."
Naturally, Yun Zhu would not believe it. She sneered internally and pouted. "You don"t know her and yet she"s so protective of you?"
"I"m… not too sure why either."
Su Zimo could vaguely guess the reason but he could not confirm it.
"Su Zimo, follow me."
Right then, Jun Yu turned to Su Zimo and said.
"Huh?"
Stunned for a moment, Su Zimo asked instinctively, "Where?"
"My room."
Jun Yu said before leading the way.
"Wha—"
Su Zimo hesitated for a moment. In order to verify his guess, he decided to follow.
Gritting her teeth, Yun Zhu rolled her eyes at Su Zimo and thought to herself, "How dare you say that you don"t know Jun Yu. You"re even going to her room now!"
Mo Qing had a calm expression and did not say anything. However, she followed behind Su Zimo.
"Sister Mo Qing."
Yun Zhu held Mo Qing back hurriedly. "Su Zimo was invited by Jun Yu. Let"s not go over."
"How can that do?"
Mo Qing frowned slightly. "What if those people refuse to give up and attack Junior Brother Su again in these three days? It"s safer to follow them."
"That"s true."
Yun Zhu"s eyes lit up as she nodded. "Let"s go take a look together."
