2104 Emergence of the Zither Immortal
Solar Luna County.
By the time Prince Yuan Zuo arrived with the commander of the Execution Guards, Lone Star, and a group of Earth Execution Guards, many cultivators were already gathered at the scene.
Apart from some Execution Guards, there were also immortal soldiers guarding the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom that sealed the vicinity. The County Governor of Solar Luna County was also here.
"Greetings, Your Highness,"
When the Solar Luna County Governor saw Prince Yuan Zuo arrive, he cupped his fists and greeted.
Although Prince Yuan Zuo's status had decreased over the years and he had lost the rule of Green Cloud County, he still had the bloodline of King Jin.
The County Governor of Solar Luna County did not dare to be negligent and retained the most basic respect for him.
Of course, Prince Yuan Zuo could not command the County Governor of Solar Luna County either.
"What happened?"
Prince Yuan Zuo entered the center and swept his gaze across some traces of the battlefield, asking with a frown.
There was nothing left on the battlefield except piles of ashes.
In the ashes, there were even a few fragments of the Black Gold Feather Armor that had not been completely incinerated--there were almost no valuable clues.
"13 Earth Execution Guards died, including three commanders,"
The County Governor of Solar Luna County said in a deep voice, "According to the information I received, these Earth Execution Guards should have been ordered by Princess Meng Yao to hunt down a man and woman."
"However, all of those Execution Guards were annihilated here!"
Right then, an immortal light sped over from afar and arrived before them in the blink of an eye, emitting a tremendous might!
It was a woman. She was tall and wore plain blue palace robes. Her face was fair and flawless. Her black hair was tied into a bun and she had an extraordinary aura.
Many cultivators present were stunned when they saw the woman, as though they had lost their souls.
However, the woman exuded a cold and extremely dangerous aura that prevented strangers from approaching, causing many cultivators to sober up right away.
"What are you guys looking at? Kneel down and greet Princess Meng Yao!"
The County Governor of Solar Luna County hollered and swept his gaze across the surrounding immortal soldier guards.
The guards of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom usually did not have the chance to see the true appearance of Zither Immortal Meng Yao. Now that they saw her, they were deeply attracted to her peerless beauty and could not extricate themselves.
Many Execution Guards reacted right away and knelt down to greet.
Most of the surrounding guards snapped out of their stupor after being reminded by the County Governor of Solar Luna County. They lowered their heads hurriedly and knelt on the ground.
There were also dozens of guards who were still motionless, looking at Meng Yao in a daze.
This was Princess Meng Yao!
One of the four great fairies, the Zither Immortal Meng Yao!
Notwithstanding the sound of Fairy Meng Yao's zither, that face alone was enough to captivate them!
The four fairies had been famous for many years.
All of them had different personalities and unique characteristics. However, the faces of the four fairies could be said to be the best in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. Even in the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, they were top-tier beauties.
Otherwise, they would not have been qualified to be called the four great fairies.
"Qin Shuang, it's time to discipline your guards,"
Meng Yao said slowly and coldly.
"You are right, Princess Meng Yao. When we go back, I'll punish the dozens of guards severely and let them remember today's lesson!"
The County Governor of Solar Luna County said hurriedly.
Meng Yao said indifferently, "There's no need to go back. I'll discipline these people for you today."
The moment she said that, Meng Yao extended her slender fingers and flicked the void.
Clang!
Suddenly, the sound of a zither sounded in midair.
The eyes of the dozens of guards exploded and blood spurted out!
"Ah!"
The dozens of guards let out tragic cries.
Right from the beginning, Meng Yao did not even look at them.
She could not be bothered to look at them.
"On account that you guys are guards of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, I'm giving you a small punishment by blinding your eyes,"
Although Meng Yao's words were filled with killing intent, they seemed to have a magical power and her voice was indescribably pleasant.
The dozens of guards were blinded and endured the pain. However, strange and infatuated smiles appeared on their faces, as though they were extremely satisfied and excited.
"It's worth it even if I have to go blind to be able to see Fairy Meng Yao's face in this lifetime."
"I no longer have any regrets in my life after hearing Fairy Meng Yao speak to me."
The dozens of guards merely took a single look at Meng Yao and were subdued. Even if they were blinded, they did not have any resentment.
When she heard that, Fairy Meng Yao was not enraged. Instead, her beautiful eyes seemed to smile.
She loved the feeling of others bowing down to her.
"Sister Meng Yao, you've really gotten prettier after so many years,"
Prince Yuan Zuo hurried forward and said with a smile, "I couldn't even recognize you right away, thinking that a beautiful fairy had descended."
Meng Yao was indeed worthy of those praises. However, Prince Yuan Zuo's words were more or less pandering and flattering.
Even if Meng Yao could sense it, she would not expose him.
She enjoyed the feeling of being praised and admired by everyone.
She was confident.
She was deserving of any and every praise out there!
"Yuan Zuo, it's been a long time,"
Princess Meng Yao nodded slightly.
The two of them were from different mothers and did not have a deep relationship.
However, no matter what, both of them had the bloodline of King Jin flowing through their bodies. Meng Yao's reply to Prince Yuan Zuo served as a greeting.
"Any clues?"
Meng Yao turned to look at the County Governor of Solar Luna County and asked in a deep voice.
"This place was burned to ashes by a fire. I haven't gained anything yet,"
The County Governor of Solar Luna County shook his head.
Although Princess Meng Yao did not control any territory in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, apart from the heir of King Jin, she was second among the many descendants of King Jin!
It was not only because Princess Meng Yao was a legacy disciple of Flying Immortal Sect and was strong in combat, but also because she was the Zither Immortal.
The Zither Immortal's influence was extremely great and was even above the heir of King Jin!
Therefore, Princess Meng Yao could even command all the County Governors of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.
"Sister Meng Yao, let Lone Star try using the Blood Guidance secret skill,"
Prince Yuan Zuo stood out hurriedly and made a suggestion.
Lone Star did not dare to hesitate and channeled his secret skill hurriedly, attempting to gather the blood in the area to sense the direction.
However, a long time later, Lone Star dispersed his Dharmic formulation and shook his head with a bitter smile. "No, I can't sense it. It's as though it's blocked by some power."
Meng Yao pondered for a moment. "It must be because of those two treasures."
The Soul Reaping Zither and the Fallen Soul Flute were two ferocious weapons of the ancient era that could isolate the detection of Blood Guidance!
"Hmph!"
Meng Yao sneered and thought to herself, "I'll come out personally this time round and catch the two of you ants!"
At that thought, she sped into the distance.
Before long, her voice sounded. "Get all the Heaven Execution Guards of Solar Luna County out and search for those two with all your might!"
"Understood!"
The County Governor of Solar Luna County bowed and replied.
It was clear how much Meng Yao valued this matter by using the Heaven Execution Guards of a county to search for two Earth Immortals.
Prince Yuan Zuo raised his brow slightly and looked at Lone Star, saying softly, "Let's go too. We can't interfere in this matter."
"Yes,"
Lone Star replied.
