2029 Scheming Against the Thunder Emperor
"How many?"
Feng Ziyi's heart skipped a beat as she sent a voice transmission.
Although she did not notice any activity, she knew that given Su Zimo's capabilities, there was definitely no mistake.
Su Zimo did not dare to release his spirit consciousness to check, afraid that he would attract attention. He could only close his eyes and listen.
"There's quite a few of them and they're in the vicinity of this mountain range,"
A moment later, Su Zimo opened his eyes and sent a voice transmission.
"How could this be?"
Feng Ziyi frowned. "If it was a large-scale search, Yuan Zuo wouldn't have been able to locate this location so quickly."
Right now, it felt as though the other party had found out about their location and was rushing over.
"Could it be a coincidence and not targeted at us?"
Feng Ziyi asked again.
Su Zimo shook his head. "I'm not sure. Let's take a look first and not act rashly. Their cultivation realms are not weak and they can speed through the air freely. The weakest among them are probably Earth Immortals!"
Before long, Feng Ziyi heard the sound of clothes fluttering not far away as well.
The two of them could only hide in the cave and wait silently, hoping that the cultivators would leave as soon as possible.
However, things did not go as planned. As time passed by, more and more cultivators gathered and lingered around the mountain range!
Perhaps the array formation at the entrance of Su Zimo's cave was working, or perhaps the cave was secluded to begin with, some cultivators who passed by this place could not find any traces of them.
However, those cultivators lingered in the mountain range and refused to leave.
The two of them hid in the cave and did not dare to act rashly. Every single breath was a huge torture for them.
Just like that, half a day passed.
"Something's not right,"
Suddenly, Su Zimo said.
"Why?" Feng Ziyi asked.
Su Zimo said in a deep voice, "Under normal circumstances, with so many cultivators, it's more than enough to search this mountain range dozens of times in half a day."
"However, although there are many cultivators coming and going, none of their spirit consciousnesses have scanned our cave."
Feng Ziyi nodded as well.
She realized that as well.
Su Zimo's concealment array formation was only set up in a hurry and could not be hidden from the spirit consciousness detection of an Earth Immortal.
However, the cultivators in the mountain range seemed to be avoiding their cave intentionally!
"We should have been discovered,"
Su Zimo's expression turned grim.
Although he did not know why the two of them were exposed, the signs outside indicated that they were exposed!
Feng Ziyi murmured softly with a confused expression, "They seem to be guarding the vicinity and won't let us leave. What are they trying to do?"
"Given Yuan Zuo's violent nature, he should have attacked us a long time ago after suffering such a huge loss. Could they not be Yuan Zuo's men?"
Su Zimo was thinking about that as well.
Suddenly!
A thought flashed through his mind and he blurted, "It's the Thunder Emperor! Their goal is to lure him here!"
"Ah!"
Feng Ziyi exclaimed in realization.
"Fufufufu!"
Right then, sinister laughter sounded from the cave!
"Su Zimo, you're truly smart. I almost can't bear to kill you,"
Prince Yuan Zuo's voice sounded with a hint of mockery and hatred!
Su Zimo and Feng Ziyi exchanged glances and headed out of the cave at the same time.
Since they were already exposed, there was no need for them to continue hiding.
Both of them knew in their hearts that they were most likely doomed today. Therefore, there was a hint of determination in their eyes.
Prince Yuan Zuo, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue and a man in Platinum Feather Armor stood side by side in midair, looking down at Su Zimo and Feng Ziyi who had just walked out of the cave.
"That man in the platinum armor is one of the commanders of the Heaven Execution Guards, Lone Star,"
Tang Ziyi said softly.
Remnant Night was an assassin organization specially targeted at the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and was familiar with some of the important figures within.
"Why bother?"
Prince Yuan Zuo looked at Su Zimo with a mocking expression and chuckled. "I've already said that this is my territory. You guys won't be able to escape."
Su Zimo and Feng Ziyi were birds in a cage. Now that Prince Yuan Zuo had control of the situation, he was in no hurry to kill the two of them.
He had even greater motives!
Su Zimo and Feng Ziyi were merely two small shrimps and the true big fish was Feng Cantian!
"I've long released the news that I'm coming to the Soaring Dragon Mountain Range to encircle and suppress you guys. What will Feng Cantian do if he finds out that his granddaughter is in my hands?" Prince Yuan Zuo asked with a smile.
Su Zimo sneered, "Yuan Zuo, if I can tell your intentions, do you think Feng Cantian can't?"
"Of course he can tell,"
Prince Yuan Zuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "So what? Even if he can tell, he has to come over and jump into my trap obediently!"
Su Zimo was silent.
Prince Yuan Zuo was not wrong.
This was an open scheme.
Even if the Thunder Emperor knew that this was a trap, he would definitely rush over given his personality.
Even if Feng Ziyi was dead, the Thunder Emperor would want to see for himself if it was real, let alone if she was still alive!
When Prince Yuan Zuo saw that Su Zimo had gone silent, he felt even more smug.
His scheme was perfect!
Initially, he suffered immense losses after losing a clone and his Destiny Dharmic treasure.
But now, he was beating them at their own game. Not only did he capture Su Zimo and Feng Ziyi he even made use of them to lure the Thunder Emperor out!
If he could suppress the Thunder Emperor, it would be an unimaginable merit!
His father would definitely reward him with countless treasures that could make up for his loss this time round.
He could also make use of this opportunity to become famous in the Nine Firmament!
With his Heaven Immortal cultivation, he devised a strategy to capture and suppress the Supreme Perfected Immortal of the past--what sort of glory and prestige was that?!
Even his older brother, the heir of King Jin, could not hold Feng Cantian back and merely injured him severely.
If he could suppress Feng Cantian, his status among the many descendants would increase and he could even compete with the heir!
At that thought, Prince Yuan Zuo felt a sense of excitement and could not help but laugh.
"Even if I commit suicide, I won't be used by you!"
Feng Ziyi hollered and moved her hands slightly. The dark daggers were already in her palms and she stabbed towards her glabella!
Buzz!
A tremendous might suddenly descended!
In midair, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue's glabella shone and he released a Perfected Immortal spirit consciousness, saying indifferently, "If you can still commit suicide in front of me, my lifetime's worth of cultivation would have been for naught."
Su Zimo's expression was cold as he clenched his fists.
He was helpless in the current situation as well.
It was useless even if he summoned the Hell Suppression Tripod.
The Black Tortoise Sacred Soul in the Hell Suppression Tripod could only kill a Heaven Immortal expert at most.
However, he was facing Perfected Immortals!
Cultivators were gathered around them and the weakest were Earth Immortals.
It was unknown if there were other experts hidden in this mountain range.
The main target of Prince Yuan Zuo's trap today was not them, but the Thunder Emperor!
