2194 Challenge!

This matter was indeed a secret alliance between the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect, prepared for their Earth Immortals to join forces to kill Su Zimo in this Earth Ranking competition.

It was not easy to get such a massive faction to join forces.

However, Prince Yuan Zuo of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Zither Immortal Meng Yao of Flying Immortal Sect stepped in. Furthermore, both of them were royalty of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.

Prince Yuan Zuo hated Su Zimo to the core. The matter of the Immortal Sect Selection embarrassed him and the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom even more.

That was because at the Immortal Sect Selection, Su Zimo said that Zither Immortal Meng Yao and Prince Yuan Zuo had a royal scandal. Because of that, Fairy Meng Yao wanted to kill Su Zimo as well!

Under the lead of the two of them, the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect had already discussed a plan and ensured that nothing would go wrong.

However, no matter what, such a thing was not honorable.

Now, Prince Yuan Zuo wanted to rope Yun Ting in. Instead, Yun Ting made the matter public and caused Prince Yuan Zuo to make a fool of himself, resulting in a commotion!

Heaven Immortal White Sea of Flying Immortal Sect glared at Prince Yuan Zuo and cursed him internally for being a fool!

Even without the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom, the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect's plan this time round was enough to kill Su Zimo in the Nine Heavens—there was no need for that.

In the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom this time round, there were a total of ten Execution Guards led by Tie Han who was predicted to be ranked fourth on the Earth Ranking.

On the side of Flying Immortal Sect, there were a total of 12 disciples led by the reincarnated immortal, Tai Hua; all of them were on the predicted Earth Ranking.

Actually, even if it was Tie Han or Tai Hua, any one of them could get rid of Su Zimo.

However, they heard that Su Zimo's movement technique was extremely fast. That was the reason why they mobilized such a large force to set up this joint killing plan.

Su Zimo would not be able to escape if all of them joined forces!

But now that Yun Ting revealed their plan in public, all their preparations would be wasted if Su Zimo gave up on the fight for the Earth Ranking.

"Interesting,"

Heaven Immortal Green Peak of Imperial Wind Temple smiled gently and crossed his arms to watch the show.

"What's the meaning of this? The Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect are joining forces to deal with a single Grade 8 Earth Immortal?"

"To be honest, this is a little embarrassing."

"That's right. They're actually using the Earth Ranking competition as an opportunity to take revenge for their personal grudges?"

Many cultivators in the square discussed in private.

Heaven Immortal White Sea closed his folding fan and retracted his smile. He cursed internally and glared at Prince Yuan Zuo.

When Prince Yuan Zuo heard the discussions around him and felt the searing gazes, he could not take it either. Shocked and furious, he glared at Yun Ting and growled, "What are you doing?! Don't you have a feud with Su Zimo? Don't you want his Heaven Slaying Sword Art?"

"I'll settle my own matters."

Yun Ting said indifferently and took a sip of tea unhurriedly. He glanced at Prince Yuan Zuo and sneered, "You really think someone like you is worthy of joining forces with me?"

"You!"

Prince Yuan Zuo was enraged and slammed the table, standing up.

Although there was a difference of seven cultivation realms between them, Yun Ting did not give Prince Yuan Zuo any face in front of everyone!

Prince Yuan Zuo felt his face burn and was enraged. However, he could not attack Yun Ting under such circumstances.

Given Yun Ting's status, countless experts would definitely stop him if he attacked.

There was no way Prince Xie Ling would let anything happen to Yun Ting in the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom!

When he saw that, Su Zimo shook his head and chuckled.

Prince Yuan Zuo actually wanted to join forces with Yun Ting.

Given Yun Ting's pride, Prince Yuan Zuo was asking to be humiliated by doing that!

Furthermore, Prince Yuan Zuo wanted to make use of Yun Ting to kill with a borrowed knife earlier on. This time round, Yun Ting's rejection caused his reputation to suffer immensely.

"Your Highness Yuan Zuo, Fellow Daoist White Sea, what's the meaning of this?"

Elder Zhong had a grim expression as he stood up and said in a deep voice, "Everyone will have to rely on their own capabilities for the Earth Ranking competition. Yet, the two of you still want to join forces in secret to deal with a disciple of my academy?"

Since this matter had already been exposed, Heaven Immortal White Sea no longer hid it. He spread his folding fan and said with a smile, "In the Nine Heavens, life and death battles are allowed and there's no rule that forbids joining forces."

"Su Zimo of your academy offended the Great Jin Immortal and the Zither Immortal. He incurred the wrath of the heavens and the hatred of humans. He deserved to be targeted by us."

The Earth Ranking competition was divided into the elimination round and the final ranking battle.

The Nine Heavens was said to be a shattered space in the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom and was also the battlefield of the elimination round.

There were many cultivators participating in the Earth Ranking and they came from all over the world. Naturally, they had to go through the elimination round to select the strongest hundred Earth Immortal paragons the fastest.

There were a total of nine levels of space in the Nine Heavens.

Every single space contained a different power and there were all sorts of powerful living beings and natural calamities.

At the end of each level, there would be a teleportation formation that could teleport one to the next level.

The rules of the elimination round were relatively simple as well. Cultivators could not make use of any Dharmic treasures or talismans. Instead, they had to rely on their own strength to clear the levels continuously and ascend through the tests in the Nine Heavens.

In the space of Level 5, there was a gigantic stele where cultivators could leave their names on it.

The hundred cultivators who entered Level 5 first and left their names on it were qualified to enter the final ranking battle.

In the Nine Heavens, cultivators could naturally kill one another at will regardless of life and death.

The original intention of establishing this rule was simple.

There were only a hundred spots on the Earth Ranking. If one was afraid of death, they were naturally not qualified to be ranked on the Earth Ranking.

But now, the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect were making use of this rule to prepare to join forces to kill Su Zimo in the Nine Heavens!

This rule had been passed down for a long time and would naturally not be amended at the last minute just because of a single change.

The elders of Heaven and Earth Academy exchanged glances and communicated with their spirit consciousnesses, discussing countermeasures in secret.

Since they already knew the other party's plan, Heaven and Earth Academy was prepared. This time round, they had 20 people who were entering the Nine Heavens as well—it was not impossible for them to fight by joining forces.

However, there was Tie Han in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom this time round and there was even a reincarnated immortal in Flying Immortal Sect.

Even if both parties fought in the Nine Heavens, Heaven and Earth Academy had no chance of winning. If they were completely annihilated, they would lose their rights to be ranked on the Earth Ranking.

The safest way to deal with this matter was for Su Zimo to withdraw from this generation's fight for the Earth Ranking.

The elders discussed for a while and were about to ask Su Zimo.

On the other side, Yun Ting suddenly asked coldly, "Su Zimo, since you know about this plan, do you still dare to take part in the fight for the Earth Ranking?"

"Why not?"

Su Zimo smiled calmly.

The academy elders were alarmed.

However, Yun Ting's eyes lit up as he asked again, "You dare to take part despite knowing that the other party is joining forces to deal with you and the existence of a reincarnated immortal?"

"Reincarnated immortals are indeed very powerful,"

Su Zimo smiled and said, "However, he's only an Earth Immortal. In the Nine Heavens, life and death battles are allowed. It's too early to determine who will be the one coming out alive!"

The moment he said that, a commotion broke out.

"It's no wonder why Su Zimo was targeted. He's indeed a little arrogant."

"That's right, it's time to teach this ignorant fool a lesson!"

"I heard that he's from the lower worlds and doesn't have much knowledge. He's just a frog in the well."

Many cultivators looked disdainful when they heard Su Zimo's words.

"Alright!"

Yun Ting was the only one who shouted. It reverberated through the world like thunder and suppressed all the mockery and doubts!

"Su Zimo, you did not disappoint me indeed!"

Yun Ting stood up slowly and shouted, "The reason why I'm here this time round is because I want to issue you a challenge personally!"
