2183 Pang Clan Heaven and Earth Academy. After this matter, many cultivators gradually dispersed. However, the shock and impact caused by this matter would continue for a long time in the academy. After Su Zimo joined the outer sect, he entered seclusion and cultivated, almost never appearing. This time round, almost all the outer sect disciples knew that there was a ruthless person among them who killed a Disciplinary Elder in front of everyone. He alarmed inner sect disciples and legacy disciples one after another but managed to escape unscathed. Although he had only exchanged blows with Elder Teng once, he was already famous in the academy! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖 On the Sword Discourse Arena. Su Zimo bowed deeply to Yang Ruoxu and said sincerely, “Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Yang.” Actually, Elder Teng and Pang Yu were both killed by Su Zimo on the Sword Discourse Arena. If Yang Ruoxu had not taken all the pressure for him, he would most likely have been killed by Tang Peng and the others before the legacy disciples appeared! “You don’t have to thank me,” Yang Ruoxu shook his head gently. “Actually, this calamity of yours was related to me to begin with.” “Elder Teng was on good terms with Fang Qingyun and the others. Actually, he wanted to target me. However, you were implicated.” Su Zimo frowned and asked, “I can see that they have a relatively deep feud with you, Senior Brother Yang. Is it just because you are from the lower worlds?” “That’s only one of the reasons,” Yang Ruoxu pondered for a moment and said, “In the academy, things are alright in the outer sect. The fights between disciples are not so obvious. However, there are many internal strifes between inner sect disciples and legacy disciples of the academy.” “All these years, I can’t compare to Fang Qingyun and the others in terms of talent, background and combat strength. However, I represented the academy to host the Immortal Sect Selection. Naturally, everyone was displeased.” “There’s another reason…” At that point, Yang Ruoxu suddenly paused and shook his head, not continuing. Su Zimo pondered for a moment and understood. The reason was most likely because of Painting Immortal Mo Qing. The rumors a thousand years ago pushed Yang Ruoxu and Fairy Mo Qing to the center of the storm. The disciples of the academy naturally did not dare to criticize Fairy Mo Qing. However, their hostility towards Yang Ruoxu deepened. Furthermore, Sword Immortal Yue Hua was courting Fairy Mo Qing. Even if Sword Immortal Yue Hua did not take the initiative to target Yang Ruoxu, there would probably be people targeting the latter in order to please him. Or rather, no one in the academy dared to stand on the side of Yang Ruoxu! Siding with Yang Ruoxu meant going against Sword Immortal Yue Hua! After today, the situation would only get more obvious. Yang Ruoxu would be completely isolated in the academy! “Try not to have any interactions with me in the academy from now on,” Yang Ruoxu suddenly said. Although his expression was calm, there was a hint of loneliness in the depths of his eyes. “Senior Brother Yang…” Su Zimo called out softly. Just as he was about to console Yang Ruoxu, the latter patted him on the shoulder and smiled. “You’re very good and your methods are decent. That time divine power was truly amazing.” “However, try not to release it in front of others in the future. At the very least, don’t reveal this divine power before you cultivate to the Heaven Immortal realm.” Su Zimo was puzzled and asked, “The elders of the academy have already come to a conclusion regarding today’s matter. Could there be anyone in the academy who dares to take revenge in private?” “Naturally, no one in the academy would dare to seek revenge in private,” Yang Ruoxu said, “However, Pang Yu’s background is rather noble. In the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, the Pang Clan is considered as a major immortal Dao clan with a long history.” “Although they can’t compare to the three Immortal Kingdoms and four immortal sects, the foundation and strength of the Pang Clan are not to be underestimated. There are many paragons in the clan and there’s even an Immortal King holding down the fort. They’re not to be trifled with.” “Pang Yu is a direct descendant of the Pang Clan. The Pang Clan will definitely not let this matter rest.” Su Zimo finally understood when he heard that. Previously, Yang Ruoxu asked him not to admit it not only because he was worried about the pressure from the academy, but also the threat of the Pang Clan outside the academy! Initially, those threats were going to land on him. But now, Yang Ruoxu took on everything alone. Yang Ruoxu looked at Su Zimo’s worried eyes and suddenly smiled. “You don’t have to worry. Although the Pang Clan is powerful, they won’t dare to cause trouble for me in the academy.” “Once I break through and condense my Dao Fruit, become a Perfected Immortal and become a legacy disciple of the academy, they might not dare to touch me even outside the academy!” No matter which faction they were in, Perfected Immortal disciples were core existences with the protection of Immortal Kings. “Senior Brother Yang, you’re amazing!” Right then, Princess Scarlet Rainbow sped over and landed on the Sword Discourse Arena. She bowed to Yang Ruoxu and praised. When he saw the outsider, Yang Ruoxu did not continue discussing this matter. He looked at Su Zimo and said, “The 10,000 Year Meet is about to begin and you have yet to reach the peak of Grade 9. I’m afraid there will be a tough battle for the Earth Ranking.” “Don’t think that you can easily obtain the top of the Earth Ranking just because you killed more than a hundred Earth Execution Guards at the Immortal Sect Selection singlehandedly.” “Many paragons and monster incarnates will appear at the 10,000 Year Meet to fight for the number one of the Earth Ranking. Their methods might not lose to yours. You must not be careless!” Su Zimo nodded. Suddenly, a figure flashed through his mind and he asked, “Will Yun Ting be there?” “Prince Yun Ting of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom?” ... Yang Ruoxu was no stranger to that name and shook his head. “He won’t go. According to the news I received, he has already cultivated to become a Heaven Immortal.” “So fast!” A look of shock flashed through Su Zimo’s eyes before turning into regret. “Mmm?” Noticing Su Zimo’s gaze, Yang Ruoxu could not help but ask, “You actually feel a little regretful when you heard that Prince Yun Ting will not be taking part in the fight for the Earth Ranking? Are you viewing him as a rival?” “Yes.” Su Zimo nodded. “There will be a battle between us sooner or later.” He possessed the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts. Yun Ting possessed the Human Slaying Sword Art. Both of them wanted to snatch the other’s sword art and fuse the three great sword arts! “Impressive, you have the courage to view Yun Ting as a rival.” ... Yang Ruoxu nodded slightly. “Who will lead us to the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom for the Earth Ranking this time round?” Suddenly, Su Zimo asked. He had already formed a feud with Fang Qingyun and the others. If Fang Qingyun led the group, it was difficult to guarantee that nothing would go wrong. “You don’t have to worry about that,” Yang Ruoxu said, “The elders of the inner sect will be bringing you guys there this time round. What you have to do is to do your best to obtain the number one of the Earth Ranking!” Pausing for a moment, Yang Ruoxu continued, “Right, there will be an additional reward for the number one in the academy.” “The secret pavilion in the academy contains many cultivation techniques, secret skills, divine powers and immortal arts. However, one will require contribution points from the sect if they want to browse through the secret pavilion and borrow anything to cultivate.” “However, if you obtain the number one of the Earth Ranking, you can enter the Earth-grade Secret Pavilion and browse through all the secret skills and cultivation techniques without restrictions!” Su Zimo’s eyes lit up when he heard that.
