Chapter 2520
2520 Prince of Spirit Cloud County
In the square of the Yan Yang Palace.
Song Ce, who was in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction, was dead, Heaven Immortal Luo Yang was now in his twilight years and Prince Tianhuang was severely injured. Everyone was filled with emotions after seeing that.
They had long expected that the battle for the seal would be unusually intense.
However, to think that the battle would surpass the level of insanity. It could even be described as tragic!
Even three experts on the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction ended up in such states.
“Furthermore, that’s them with the teleportation talismans. Without the teleportation talismans, Heaven Immortal Luo Yang and Prince Tianhuang might not have been spared either.”
“Even if Heaven Immortal Luo Yang isn’t dead, he won’t be able to live for long.”
Many cultivators pointed at the white-haired and old Heaven Immortal Luo Yang without any reservations.
Heaven Immortal Luo Yang’s old face was dark.
Prior to this, he was Rank 8 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction and was at his peak. When the surrounding cultivators saw him, they would reveal looks of reverence—who would dare to spout nonsense?!
But now, he was in his twilight years and his blood qi was weak. His Essence Spirit was depleted and he might not be able to defeat any of the Grade 9 Heaven Immortals present, let alone make it back into the Heaven Ranking Prediction.
Given Heaven Immortal Luo Yang’s previous status and glorious achievements, there was no need for him to stay here and endure such humiliation.
However, he was indignant!
He wanted to wait here for the final outcome. He wanted to know about Su Zimo’s crushing defeat or even death right away!
He believed that Zong Feiyu could do it.
Zong Feiyu was a reincarnated Perfected Immortal who was Rank 3 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction after all. Furthermore, he could join forces with Yue Hai and there were hundreds of Heaven Immortal experts with them.
Right then, a light flashed above the square and figures appeared one after another.
Prince Xing Yan dragged his battered body and escaped. His face was pale and his eyes were filled with fear—it was unknown how much shock he endured.
Most of the other dozens of cultivators were covered in injuries and fresh blood flowed.
Xie Ling hurried forward and helped Prince Xing Yan stabilize his injuries and reconstruct his body.
“Prince Xing Yan is out as well!”
“It’s expected. His cultivation isn’t high to begin with. The two experts under his lead who are on the Heaven Ranking Prediction are far too inferior to Zong Feiyu and the others.”
“How many princes are left?”
“There’s only Prince Ming Jiong, Princess Yu Yan, Prince Feng and Prince Yu left. However, Princess Yu Yan has the help of Zong Feiyu while Prince Yu has the help of Yue Hai. The chances are higher for the two of them.”
“There seems to be one more missing?”
Another cultivator calculated for a moment and asked with a frown when he realized that the numbers were not right.
Another person thought for a long time before remembering and pouting. “There’s also Xie Qingcheng who went in with just slightly more than ten people. He doesn’t stand a chance at all.”
“That’s right. By his side, the only person who can barely be considered as a somebody is Su Zimo of the academy. However, I heard that he’s only a Grade 6 Heaven Immortal.”
Another person laughed. “Everyone, what do you think? The battle for the seal was so tragic this time round. Song Ce, Heaven Immortal Luo Yang and Prince Heaven Phoenix ended up in such a state. Is a Grade 6 Heaven Immortal like him enough?”
Most of the cultivators were attracted by the situation of Song Ce, Heaven Immortal Luo Yang and the others and did not notice the changes in the Heaven Ranking Prediction.
Listening to the discussions around him, Heaven Immortal Luo Yang, Prince Tianhuang, Prince Xing Yan and the others who had just escaped from the Asura battlefield had ugly expressions.
“What do you guys know?!”
Prince Xing Yan could not hold it in any longer and cursed at the crowd.
Everyone was at a loss.
Suddenly!
Another flash of light appeared above the square.
Immediately after, the figures of Prince Ming Jiong, Prince Feng and Prince Yu descended above the square.
Before long, Princess Yu Yan’s figure appeared as well!
At the same time, more than a hundred Heaven Immortals burning with flames and black smoke appeared one after another, shouting for help with hoarse and tragic voices.
A group of cultivators under Xie Ling hurried forward and saved the Heaven Immortals.
“What’s going on?”
“Since the four princes are out, the battle for the seal should have ended, right?”
“Who obtained the Spirit Cloud Seal, Princess Yu Yan?”
Many cultivators were confused and countless questions surfaced in their minds.
Where were Zong Feiyu and Yue Hai?
Where were the others?
Where was the Spirit Cloud Seal?
Who burned these Heaven Immortals to such an extent?
As everyone discussed, another light flashed above the square and Yue Hai’s figure appeared, falling to the ground with a thud.
Yue Hai did not seem to be injured at all.
However, everyone’s expressions changed when they scanned with their spirit consciousnesses!
He was dead!
Rank 7 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction, Yue Hai of Mountain Sea Immortal Sect was dead as well!
“W-W-What happened inside?”
“Is there a need to ask? Zong Feiyu is the only one left inside. He must have done it.”
“Hmph!”
Princess Yu Yan’s expression was cold as she harrumphed coldly. “This has nothing to do with Brother Zong. Don’t spout nonsense!”
With a single glance, Xie Ling could tell that Yue Hai’s Essence Spirit was severely injured and was dead.
If it was not Zong Feiyu’s doing, there was only a single possibility!
Another beam of light flashed on the square.
When Zong Feiyu appeared, his face was pale and he looked flustered. Even though he had already returned to the Yan Yang Palace, he still turned back with lingering fear.
After ensuring that he had broken free from the dragon scale completely, he heaved a sigh of relief and gradually composed himself.
“Brother Zong, even you…”
Princess Yu Yan looked at Zong Feiyu with a conflicted expression, wanting to speak but stopped.
Zong Feiyu was silent for a moment before saying, “Yu Yan, I’m sorry. I couldn’t unleash my full strength in the Asura Battlefield and my hands were tied.”
“But don’t worry, I’ll let him witness my true strength in the battle for the Heaven Ranking!”
With that said, he turned to leave and sped in the direction of the teleportation formation in the capital of Yan Yang, disappearing before long.
Princess Yu Yan stomped her feet in anger.
What was the point of him regaining his dignity in the battle for the Heaven Ranking? She had already lost her chance to become the Princess of Spirit Cloud County!
When Heaven Immortal Luo Yang saw that, he had already guessed the final outcome and knew that it was meaningless for him to stay.
After Zong Feiyu left, he left as well, prepared to return to Flying Immortal Sect.
The surrounding cultivators were still puzzled.
“What did Zong Feiyu mean by that? Even he lost?”
“It should be. From the looks of it, he must have lost to the reincarnated Perfected Immortal of our Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, Lord Lie Xuan.”
“I’ve long known that Lord Lie Xuan’s strength is above Zong Feiyu!”
“But, what’s the use of Lord Lie Xuan being inside? He’s not a prince. How can he obtain the Spirit Cloud Seal?”
“We seem to have neglected someone…”
Right then, another person left the Asura battlefield.
Lie Xuan appeared.
Looking at the dense crowd around him, Lie Xuan sighed. “The battle for the seal is over.”
“It’s over? Who obtained the Spirit Cloud Seal?”
Everyone asked hurriedly.
Lie Xuan said, “There’s only a single prince left in the Asura Battlefield and you guys are asking me who obtained the Spirit Cloud Seal?”
“There’s only a prince left. Could it be…”
“Xie Qingcheng!”
“How is that possible?”
Right then, a dignified voice sounded from above the Yan Yang Palace.
“The Spirit Cloud Seal already belongs to someone. The new Prince of Spirit Cloud County is Xie Qingcheng!”
Accompanied by that voice, Xie Qingcheng appeared above the palace with a bedazzling seal in his hands. Instantly, it was as though he was covered in endless glory!
Under the cover of the Spirit Cloud Seal, he shone brightly!
Against that light, almost no one noticed that not far behind him was a green-robed cultivator with refined features.
