2422 Identity
The long street was silent as everyone looked at Heaven Immortal Bai Yu with pity.
Earlier on, the Grade 9 Heaven Immortal before them was still the domineering and insufferably arrogant number one Heaven Immortal of Langfeng City.
However, in the blink of an eye, he had already become an old man in his twilight years. His sharpness was no longer present and he stood in midair dejectedly with a lifeless aura.
Heaven Immortal Bai Yu was not dead.
However, everyone knew that he was no longer the number one Heaven Immortal of Langfeng City nor was he qualified to fight for the Heaven Ranking.
Instantly, all the glory of this paragon vanished!
Such a blow crushed Heaven Immortal Bai Yu completely.
Many people looked at Su Zimo with shock on their faces.
This seemingly frail scholar, a Grade 5 Heaven Immortal, merely released a single supreme divine power and dragged Heaven Immortal Bai Yu down from his pedestal!
Who was he?
Given his capabilities and talent, he shouldn't be a nobody—why hadn't they heard of him before?
In midair, Su Zimo was also recalling the process of releasing Fleeting Moment.
Under normal circumstances, Fleeting Moment alone was not enough to threaten Heaven Immortal Bai Yu.
However, in the Jade Pure Jade Manual, which was also the Pure Magnificence Heaven, he experienced the baptism of the Twilight Drum and Dawn Bell.
The sound of the Twilight Drum had something in common with Fleeting Moment in terms of Dharmic Dao.
Therefore, for the past few days, Su Zimo had been trying to fuse the sound of the Twilight Drum into Fleeting Moment.
However, the fusion of the two divine powers was not perfect.
The sound of the Twilight Drum only sounded after the power of Fleeting Moment descended.
Even so, the combination of the two divine powers produced an extremely terrifying lethality.
When Heaven Immortal Bai Yu was a tad slower to react, his lifespan decreased by more than a hundred thousand years!
He released a few more divine powers and secret skills in succession before dispelling the power of Fleeting Moment completely.
According to Su Zimo's speculation, if the two divine powers could be fused perfectly, the power of Fleeting Moment would rise to an unimaginable realm!
In fact, it might even reach the level of a peerless divine power!
At that time, no matter how many supreme divine powers Heaven Immortal Bai Yu released, he would not be able to defend against the impact of Fleeting Moment.
Kong Han, who was under Lin Luo's sword, felt a sense of trepidation.
If that supreme divine power landed on him, he would die even if he had ten lives!
Su Zimo took a deep breath of air. When he saw that the situation had calmed down, he took out the Essence Spirit of the First Boss of the Broken Army Fiend Bandits from his storage bag.
"I'll use the Soul Searching Art on this person. The truth shall be exposed in public. Everyone, you can bear witness!"
As Su Zimo said that, black lines appeared in the ball of light in his hands and entered the bearded burly man's Essence Spirit.
Kong Han looked nervous. If the bearded burly man's memories were exposed, the reputation of the Imperial Army would suffer a huge blow.
Right then, a tremendous might descended like dark clouds, causing one's heart to tremble.
"This power…"
Su Zimo frowned.
A Perfected Immortal expert!
As though he sensed something, Su Zimo glanced at the Essence Spirit in his hands instinctively.
Indeed, because of the invasion of that might, his Soul Searching Art on the bearded burly man had failed.
It was easy for accidents to happen during the soul searching process, let alone when it was disturbed by external forces.
Although the Soul Searching Art failed, the Essence Spirit of the First Boss of the Broken Army Fiend Bandits was weak and his lifeforce was almost non-existent—he could no longer survive.
In the end, the secret in this person's memories could not be made public.
Suddenly!
A chill ran down Su Zimo's spine, as though he was targeted by some terrifying expert.
Unknowingly, a man in heavy armor had already arrived and was standing behind Su Zimo with a cold expression and indifferent gaze.
"Greetings, Commander Jiang!"
The surrounding Imperial Army soldiers knelt on one knee and shouted with their heads lowered.
One of the commanders of Langfeng City's Imperial Army, Jiang Xuanyou!
Kong Han looked at Su Zimo with a mocking expression.
In his opinion, Su Zimo was already a dead man.
"Breaking the order of the immortal city and fighting against the Imperial Army on the streets is unforgivable!"
Jiang Xuanyou's gaze was cold as he swept past Su Zimo, Lin Luo and everyone from Black Mirror Sect without any emotions in his voice.
"We're innocent!"
Unable to withstand the pressure, everyone from Black Mirror Sect knelt on the ground one after another and shouted that they were wronged.
Liang Yu panicked as well and explained hurriedly, "Commander, this is a misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with us."
Thereafter, he gulped and pointed to Su Zimo and Lin Luo who were not far away. "It's them! They fought against the Imperial Army! None of us attacked the entire time."
When Lin Luo heard that, she pouted.
Naturally, she was extremely disdainful towards Liang Yu's reaction.
However, she could understand his actions under such pressure.
Jiang Xuanyou had an indifferent expression and was unmoved. "The two of them committed a crime. Naturally, your Black Mirror Sect will bear the responsibility together!"
Right then, Su Zimo took out a sect badge from his storage bag unhurriedly and hung it on his waist.
Jiang Xuanyou swept his gaze and could not help but frown.
"Heaven and Earth Academy?"
He murmured softly.
Some Heaven Immortal experts might not know the emblem of Heaven and Earth Academy, but as a Perfected Immortal and commander of Langfeng City, he naturally knew about Heaven and Earth Academy.
Su Zimo said in a deep voice, "I'm Su Zimo of Heaven and Earth Academy in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. This is indeed a misunderstanding. The conflict broke out because Assistant General Kong slandered us as fiend bandits."
"The fight between me and Heaven Immortal Bai Yu was only a spar between cultivators of the same cultivation realm. As a Perfected Immortal expert, are you going to interfere in this matter, Commander Jiang?"
Jiang Xuanyou cursed internally.
Although Heaven and Earth Academy was not in the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain, it was one of the four immortal sects of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain and was a heaven-grade sect with a deep foundation.
The green-robed scholar before him revealed his identity and should be an inner sect disciple of Heaven and Earth Academy—he could not be a fiend bandit.
As a Perfected Immortal expert, he naturally could not attack this person in front of everyone without sufficient reason.
Otherwise, it would definitely attract countless criticism.
Jiang Xuanyou was secretly frustrated. If he had known earlier, he would have killed this lad after appearing and not given him a chance to speak!
His gaze shifted to Lin Luo who was not far away. A thought crossed his mind as he said coldly, "Since you're a disciple of Heaven and Earth Academy, I won't hold it against you for now. However, this woman deserves to die for kidnapping an Assistant General of our immortal city!"
"She's also a disciple of the academy!"
Su Zimo knew that Lin Luo was unwilling to reveal her identity and said hurriedly.
"Is that so?"
Jiang Xuanyou sneered, "Show me your sect badge."
Lin Luo looked troubled.
How could she have a sect badge of Heaven and Earth Academy?
Just as she was hesitating, Jiang Xuanyou's killing intent surged and he arrived beside Lin Luo instantly, hollering, "B*tch, die!"
Swoosh!
Jiang Xuanyou attacked and his saber flashed, arriving instantly.
This was the attack of a Perfected Immortal expert with an astonishing speed that even Su Zimo could not react to.
Suddenly!
Lin Luo sidestepped and nine mysterious square patterns seemed to appear beneath her feet, avoiding the slash by a hair's breadth.
A wisp of black hair fell slowly along with the saber beam.
That single hair's breadth was the difference between life and death!
Lin Luo was scared out of her wits after escaping death.
This was the attack of a Perfected Immortal expert and was more like an ambush. If not for the footwork imparted to her by her mother, she would have been a corpse!
When Jiang Xuanyou's slash landed, he did not continue chasing. Instead, he glared at Lin Luo's feet and frowned. "Lin family of the Green Firmament Immortal Domain?"
