2193 Joining Forces

"Who is he? How did he attract Yun Ting's attention?"

"A disciple of the academy, a Grade 8 Earth Immortal, actually made Yun Ting stand up to greet him?"

Everyone had long heard of Yun Ting's personality. He was proud, conceited and arrogant.

When they entered earlier on, even the Perfected Immortal Prince Xie Ling had a friendly expression as he surveyed his surroundings and nodded slightly.

When Yun Ting appeared, he looked ahead the entire time without looking at anyone.

His attitude towards Prince Yuan Zuo was cold as well.

But now, this academy disciple had caused Prince Yun Ting to stand up on his own accord. The fact that he was so highly regarded shocked many cultivators.

"Haven't you heard? That person is Su Zimo from the lower worlds and he has the Heaven Slaying Sword Art!"

"Prince Yun Ting is here for this person's Heaven Slaying Sword Art!"

"That's right. The fighting spirit in Prince Yun Ting's eyes can't be hidden at all. In fact, I suspect that he can attack at any moment!"

Many cultivators discussed and whispered at the back.

Because of Yun Ting's actions and a single sentence, the entire square became tense!

Everyone knew that Yun Ting did whatever he wanted and had always made shocking moves fearlessly. Even if he suddenly attacked Su Zimo, no one would be surprised.

Prince Xie Ling frowned slightly.

The fight for the Earth Ranking had yet to begin and he naturally did not wish for anything to happen.

Prince Yuan Zuo sat in his seat with a gloating look in his eyes. If Yun Ting could kill Su Zimo, it would save him a lot of trouble.

The elders of the academy looked as though they were facing a great enemy.

"Prince Yun Ting, what are you doing?"

Elder Zhong said in a deep voice, "The fight for the Earth Ranking has yet to begin. Furthermore, you're already a Grade 2 Heaven Immortal and can't take part in the Earth Ranking competition."

Princess Scarlet Rainbow had not returned home for a long time. At that moment, she was sitting with Xie Qingcheng and the other descendants of the royal family. When she saw that, she looked nervous as well.

Among everyone from the academy, Su Zimo was the only one who was calm as usual.

Even against Yun Ting who was releasing immense hostility and in front of everyone's gazes, his expression did not change much.

He did not know why Yun Ting was here.

However, he was certain that Yun Ting would definitely not attack him at this moment!

He had only exchanged blows with Yun Ting once and the two of them did not have much interaction.

However, he knew that given Yun Ting's pride, the latter would definitely not attack him when there was a major cultivation realm difference between them.

Back in the Emperor's Tomb, Yun Ting was disgusted when Fang Xuan tried to ambush Su Zimo while the two of them were fighting.

Given his conceit, he would definitely choose to fight Su Zimo fairly if he wanted to snatch the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts.

Su Zimo pushed away the elders gently and stood at the front, standing off against Yun Ting through the air.

"Su Zimo, you…"

Elder Zhong was worried.

There was no longer any obstruction between Su Zimo and Yun Ting. If Yun Ting suddenly attacked, even he did not have absolute confidence of protecting Su Zimo.

"It's fine,"

Su Zimo shook his head gently and smiled. "We're just greeting one another and exchanging a few words."

When he heard that, Yun Ting's eyes lit up.

Su Zimo understood him!

Everyone thought that he might make a move. However, the person opposite him knew that he would definitely not attack here!

The two of them had the same silent chemistry back in the Emperor's Tomb when Fang Xuan ambushed Su Zimo.

For some reason, Yun Ting was delighted.

'Once I defeat him in the future and obtain the Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts, we might even be able to become confidants.'

Yun Ting thought to himself.

In his eyes, not many cultivators of the same generation in this world were qualified to be his friends, let alone confidants.

"Yun Ting, it's been many years since we last met. You're still as arrogant as ever and haven't changed much,"

Right then, Su Zimo said indifferently.

The moment he said that, everyone was stunned and the discussions quietened down.

Many cultivators were dumbfounded as they looked at Su Zimo in shock.

What sort of words and tone were those?

Was this Grade 8 Earth Immortal of the academy lecturing the number one monster incarnate in 100,000 years, Prince Yun Ting?

Prince Yun Ting's expression darkened instantly as well.

That was because Su Zimo's words reminded him of the battle at the Emperor's Tomb.

In that battle, Su Zimo once said something similar such as 'you're still young'.

Right on the heels of that, that person beat him up so badly that he nearly lost his life.

After returning to the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom, he was even taught a lesson by his sister.

Each time he recalled that experience, he felt extremely displeased.

Prince Yun Ting's expression turned cold and his aura intensified. His eyes shone with killing intent as he said icily, "Don't speak to me in that tone. I don't like it!"

In Yun Ting's heart, only his sister could lecture him like this—no one else was qualified!

Right then, Prince Yuan Zuo suddenly stood up and hollered, "Su Zimo, you're way too arrogant. How dare you lecture Prince Yun Ting!"

"Prince Yun Ting is the strongest paragon in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain for the past 100,000 years. How can a lowlife like you look down on and humiliate him in front of everyone?!"

Although Prince Yuan Zuo looked righteous, he was actually fanning the flames, wanting to provoke Prince Yun Ting to kill Su Zimo right away.

Yun Ting turned around and glanced at Prince Yuan Zuo expressionlessly.

He was young and arrogant, but he was no fool.

The person in charge of the 10,000 Year Meet this time round, Prince Xie Ling, saw that the situation was bad and the atmosphere was getting increasingly tense. At that moment, he had no choice but to stand out and raise his voice. "Fellow Daoists, please take a seat. Today is the Earth Ranking competition. If there are any grudges, we can discuss them after the Earth Ranking competition."

"Sure."

Unexpectedly, the fighting spirit and killing intent of Prince Yun Ting dissipated rapidly. He agreed right away and sat back down.

Helpless, Prince Yuan Zuo could only return to his seat.

After this small commotion, the cultivators of the four immortal sects took their seats one after another—the fight for the Earth Ranking was about to begin!

Prince Yuan Zuo looked at Prince Yun Ting opposite him indignantly. Rolling his eyes, he sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness, "Fellow Daoist Yun Ting, today is the Earth Ranking competition. It's not convenient for you to kill Su Zimo personally."

"Why don't the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom join forces with the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom to kill this lad in the Nine Heavens?"

Yun Ting raised his head and looked at Prince Yuan Zuo with a fake smile, as though he was very interested in his suggestion.

Prince Yuan Zuo was invigorated and continued to send a voice transmission, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry. This time round, it's not only the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, but also Fellow Daoists of Flying Immortal Sect. If the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom can join in, that lad will definitely die if our three factions join forces!"

The smile in Prince Yun Ting's eyes intensified.

"Hahahaha!"

Finally, Yun Ting reared his head in laughter that shook the firmaments and attracted the attention of countless people!

Everyone was puzzled.

Even Prince Yuan Zuo was stunned on the spot, not knowing what was wrong with Yun Ting.

Yun Ting turned around slowly and looked at Heaven and Earth Academy not far away from him, saying leisurely, "Su Zimo, Prince Yuan Zuo just told me that the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom has already joined forces with Flying Immortal Sect. Their people are going to kill you in the Nine Heavens!"

"Right, Prince Yuan Zuo even invited me to join forces with them."

The moment he said that, the crowd was in an uproar!

Everyone from the academy was shocked as well as they glared in the direction of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect.

Prince Yuan Zuo was caught off guard.

He had not expected that his secret voice transmission would be revealed by Prince Yun Ting in public!
