Chapter 2798: Karma Translator: Legge In reality, Su Zimo had already discovered this problem when he was in the Evil Fiend Battlefield. When they first entered the Evil Fiend Battlefield, they encountered an attack from a group of Rakshasas. One of them, a female Rakshasa, released a quasi-peerless divine power, Time Stop, creating an opening in the Myriad Sword Formation. If that was already the case for quasi-peerless divine powers, once the actual peerless divine power, Astral Imprisonment, descended, it could naturally break the Myriad Sword Formation of Lin Xunzhen and the others. Feng Xu frowned and asked, “But how did Lin Xunzhen suffer such serious injuries? Where’s her Blessed Heaven World Badge?” He was puzzled. Although Wang Dong, Gong Sunyu and the others were injured, their lives were not in danger. As for Lin Xunzhen, her combat strength was the strongest— how could her injuries be more serious than Wang Dong and the others? Lu Yun and Yu Lan remained silent with livid expressions. Su Zimo’s spirit consciousness swept past Lin Xunzhen and he suddenly frowned. “She burned her Essence Spirit?” Lu Yun sighed and wanted to speak but hesitated. “It’s all our fault.” Right then, Wang Dong said in a low voice with a guilty expression, “At that time, we were imprisoned by Xiang Meng’s peerless divine power and our lives were on the line. We had no chance of escaping from the Evil Fiend Battlefield.” “Senior Sister Lin suddenly summoned the Immortal Vanquishing Sword and severed the imprisonment, telling us to leave quickly.” “We didn’t think too much about it at that time. It was only after we returned to the Blessed Heaven World Square that we realized that Senior Sister Lin had used a secret skill to burn her Essence Spirit, allowing her to release the Immortal Vanquishing Sword at the power of a peerless divine power to break through Astral Imprisonment.” Upon hearing that, everyone who heard it was moved. This was equivalent to Lin Xunzhen sacrificing herself to save Wang Dong, Gong Sunyu and the others! Lin Xunzhen cultivated the Sever Sword Dao and was usually rather cold to people and things. However, at the critical moment, she was so resolute and made such a choice! Wang Dong said, “After Senior Sister Lin burned her Essence Spirit, her strength deteriorated rapidly and she suffered a backlash. Her Blessed Heaven World Badge was also snatched away by Xiang Meng.” Gong Sunyu’s eyes were red as he said sadly, “If I had known earlier, I would definitely have stayed by Senior Sister Lin’s side and fought alongside her!” Yu Lan shook her head. “It’s useless even if you guys stayed. You would have just been committing suicide. Xunzhen did this because she wanted you guys to survive.” In reality, Wang Dong and the others were not cowards. However, at that time, the situation was critical. Wang Dong and the others thought that Lin Xunzhen would return to the Blessed Heaven World immediately like them. Unexpectedly, after Lin Xunzhen burned her Essence Spirit and released the Immortal Vanquishing Sword, she suffered a violent backlash. Thereafter, she was entangled by Xiang Meng and the others and did not have the chance to use the Blessed Heaven World Badge to leave. Everyone could clearly see that Lin Xunzhen was in an extremely poor state and was already at the end of her rope. Even her Essence Spirit was severely injured and filled with cracks. The few Immortal King experts present were helpless against such injuries. Even if they brought Lin Xunzhen back to the Sword World now and looked for an Emperor to step in, it would be too late. Lin Xunzhen would not be able to hold out until then! Yu Lan had a sorrowful expression as she looked at the unconscious Lin Xunzhen in her arms with pity in her eyes. Lin Xunzhen was the strongest Perfected Immortal of this generation of Sever Sword Peak and her future achievements were limitless. To think that she would encounter such a calamity in the Evil Fiend Battlefield. For the Sword World, the death of Lin Xunzhen would be an irreparable loss as well! Su Zimo had plans on dealing with Lin Xunzhen’s injuries and he was not in a hurry. Another question flashed through his mind. “Xiang Meng snatched Lin Xunzhen’s Blessed Heaven World Badge away. How did she return?” The reason why the Heavenly Eye World came so menacingly was to take revenge. Back in the Seven Stars Sword World, most of the Heavenly Eye race living beings who died were killed by Lin Xunzhen. Naturally, Xiang Meng would pin this blood debt on Lin Xunzhen and would definitely not let her off! However, how could Lin Xunzhen return to the Blessed Heaven World Square without the Blessed Heaven World Badge and under the gazes of Xiang Meng and the others? At the mention of that, Wang Dong, Gong Sunyu and the others had conflicted expressions, as though they were ashamed, confused and puzzled. In the end, it was Shen Yue who stood out and stammered, “That female ape saved Senior Sister Lin.” Su Zimo was stunned. There were ten spatial nodes in the Evil Fiend Battlefield that would change frequently. In ten days, it was difficult for living beings of the trichiliocosm to find a spatial node. However, it might not be difficult for the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits who lived there all year round to find a spatial node. Shen Yue continued, “The female ape carried Senior Sister Lin on her back and fled all the way under the pursuit of Xiang Meng and the others, sending Senior Sister Lin into a spatial node…” The entire courtyard suddenly fell silent. Everyone witnessed what happened in the cave a few days ago. It was because of Su Zimo’s persistence that the female ape survived. For that reason, Shen Yue and the others even had some arguments with Su Zimo. In fact, they persuaded him to leave the Evil Fiend Battlefield. Shen Yue and the others could not stand or understand Su Zimo’s benevolence. In their hearts, the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits inside were all heinous and vicious beings. There was no need for them to be merciful. Killing the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits was equivalent to enforcing justice on behalf of the heavens! Lin Xunzhen had once told Su Zimo that he was not suitable for the Evil Fiend Battlefield. Even if he saved that female ape, this beast would repay kindness with ingratitude in the future. But now, it was the female ape, the Sin Spirit that everyone was talking about, who saved Lin Xunzhen from Xiang Meng and the others. This matter made Wang Dong, Gong Sunyu, Shen Yue and the others doubt themselves for the first time. Were the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits inside really ferocious and vicious beings? Why did this female ape know how to repay kindness? If they had killed the female ape back then, Lin Xunzhen would not have been able to leave the Evil Fiend Battlefield and would have probably endured insufferable humiliation in the hands of Xiang Meng. Were they wrong? Everyone was puzzled, confused, filled with doubts and… also relieved. Thankfully, Su Zimo’s persistence saved the female ape’s life. That was also the reason why Lin Xunzhen could escape from Xiang Meng’s pursuit. This was karma. These people did not realize that if not for their resistance and rejection towards Su Zimo, the scene before them might not have happened. That in itself was yet another result of karma. After a long silence, Su Zimo asked, “What happened to the female ape after that?” Wang Dong, Shen Yue and the others lowered their heads. After an unknown period of time, Shen Yue said softly, “She’s dead.” He did not dare to look up or meet Su Zimo’s eyes. He would never forget the scene he saw through the gigantic screen. The female ape broke through countless attacks to save Lin Xunzhen and fled the entire way. She was chased by Xiang Meng and the others and was covered in injuries. However, she protected Lin Xunzhen with all her might and escaped into a spatial node, using the last bit of her strength to send Lin Xunzhen out. The Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits inside could not leave through the spatial node. The female ape could no longer run and was caught by Xiang Meng and the others. She was killed effortlessly as though an ant was crushed. It was just a Sin Spirit. Her death shouldn’t have been significant. However, for some unknown reason, Shen Yue felt guilty the entire time. Perhaps it was towards Su Zimo, perhaps it was towards the female ape… Su Zimo closed his eyes expressionlessly. Everyone was immersed in sadness and no one noticed him. Only Beiming Xue could vaguely sense that her master was truly enraged!
