Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2015

Translator: Legge
At the mention of Feng Cantian, there was still a hint of fear in Prince Yuan Zuo’s eyes even after a year.

However, that hint of fear disappeared before long.

Right now, King Tianxing was not the only one in pursuit of Feng Cantian.

His elder brother, the heir of King Jin, had already laid an impenetrable trap and was prepared to kill Feng Cantian personally!

Feng Cantian was severely injured and had no way of escaping the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. Once his tracks were exposed, he would definitely die—he was no longer a threat!

!!

“He didn’t escape,”

Feng Ziyi was expressionless as she said coldly, “He broke free from the Ten Absolute Hell and killed ten Perfected Immortals. He crushed Absolute Thunder City and left openly!”

“Fufu,”

Prince Yuan Zuo smiled and shrugged his shoulders, saying indifferently, “It doesn’t matter. The outcome will be the same.”

“Right, you might not know it yet, but my older brother, King Anshi1, came out of seclusion because of this and even tracked down Feng Cantian and injured him! Although Feng Cantian escaped again, he won’t be able to hold out for long!”

At the mention of King Anshi, Feng Ziyi shuddered and her eyes were filled with endless resentment.

Even with her temperament, she could not control her emotions when she heard that name. She lost her cool and said word by word, “The heir of King Jin!”

Feng Ziyi grit her teeth, as though she wanted to tear the heir of King Jin apart!

“Oh!”

Prince Yuan Zuo slapped his forehead and said in realization, “Look at my memory. I actually forgot that my brother once killed your parents personally. I’m truly sorry.”

Prince Yuan Zuo apologized on the surface but his eyes were filled with mockery.

The more Feng Ziyi lost her composure, the more he felt accomplished.

“Sigh, it’s not my brother’s fault,”

Prince Yuan Zuo shook his head gently, as though he felt pity, and sighed. “It would have been fine if you sinners had known your place after Feng Cantian was suppressed. Why did you have to set up an assassination group called Remnant Night to specifically assassinate people of the royal family? Aren’t you just courting death?”

Feng Ziyi clenched her fists and tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart.

She knew that Prince Yuan Zuo was deliberately angering her!

Feng Ziyi’s fingernails had already pierced her palm and blood flowed out, but she was not afraid at all.

Prince Yuan Zuo continued, “Don’t be angry. Back then, my brother was only at the Perfected Immortal realm and was of the same cultivation realm as your father. It was a fair battle between them and your father died because he was weak. It’s nothing much.”

“Nonsense!”

Feng Ziyi shouted, “Back then, my mother was captured by a trap set by you guys. The heir of King Jin used my mother to force my father to appear and fight him!”

“So what? At the very least, that battle was watched by everyone and my brother won fair and square. If he wanted to kill your father, given his status as the heir, there’s no need for him to do it personally!”

Prince Yuan Zuo sneered.

“Fair and square? Fair and square…”

Feng Ziyi seemed to have thought of something and her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Prince Yuan Zuo fiercely. She was so furious that her entire body was trembling.

If Su Zimo saw this, he would definitely be shocked.

In his opinion, Feng Ziyi would definitely not reveal such emotions even if something major happened.

Suddenly, Feng Ziyi closed her eyes and no longer looked at Prince Yuan Zuo.

A moment later, she gradually calmed down.

When she opened her eyes again, there were no longer any emotions and her expression was calm.

A look of regret flashed through Prince Yuan Zuo’s eyes.

Initially, he thought that Feng Ziyi could no longer control herself and was about to attack him.

To think that Feng Ziyi would regain her composure with her strong willpower.

Prince Yuan Zuo was in no hurry and continued, “Furthermore, I didn’t notice you at first. However, because Feng Cantian escaped, I realized that someone must have helped him!”

“I know the layout of the Ten Absolute Hell the best. Without external help, there’s no way Feng Cantian can break free.”

“I had my men check on your identity again immediately. Yes… no matter how realistic your disguise is, as long as we check carefully, there will always be flaws.”

Feng Ziyi understood.

Prince Yuan Zuo thought that she was the one who assisted Feng Cantian in breaking free from the Ten Absolute Hell.

However, in reality, she did have the plan but it failed.

Even up till now, she was at a loss and did not know how Feng Cantian escaped or what happened in the Ten Absolute Hell.

Of course, since Prince Yuan Zuo recognized the wrong person, she would not explain either.

Prince Yuan Zuo smiled. “You’ve already hidden yourself very well and carefully. Unfortunately, I still saw through you. Tsk, tsk.”

Actually, it was a coincidence that Feng Ziyi’s identity was exposed.

If Feng Cantian had not escaped, she would not have attracted Prince Yuan Zuo’s attention.

“Since you discovered my identity long ago, why didn’t you kill me?”

Feng Ziyi asked.

Prince Yuan Zuo smiled gently. “I could use you to enter the Emperor’s Tomb by retaining you. Why should I be in a hurry to kill you?”

“You’re a bird in a cage that will never be able to escape my grasp,”

Feng Ziyi was silent.

She had to admit that she had underestimated Prince Yuan Zuo.

This person had long seen through her identity but did not reveal any flaws or alert her.

On the surface, this person looked like he was indulging in pleasures and wine. However, he was extremely scheming and controlled everything without batting an eyelid.

The fact that this person was not scared out of his wits when Feng Cantian wreaked havoc in Absolute Thunder City and escaped was proof of his guts.

King Jin had many descendants, but not every one of them could be conferred a county to rule over. Most of them merely had titles.

From that, it could be seen that Prince Yuan Zuo was extraordinary!

Feng Ziyi could not be blamed either.

Although Prince Yuan Zuo was at the Earth Essence realm, he was truly not outstanding among the many princes.

Furthermore, Prince Yuan Zuo had a notorious reputation as a prodigal son. Naturally, Feng Ziyi looked down on him.

“After chatting with you for so long, the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb in your body should be mostly purged, right?”

Prince Yuan Zuo looked at Feng Ziyi with a fake smile, as though he knew her thoughts and actions like the back of his hand.

In reality, that was the case as well.

The reason why Feng Ziyi questioned Prince Yuan Zuo for so long was to buy time!

She was only at the Black Essence realm and the curse she was tainted with did not pose much of a threat.

She circulated the Void Thunder Manual and the power of thunder was born from her Thunder Bones, purging the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb from her body before long.

Of course, her motive for stalling for time was not only to resolve the hidden ailment of the curse.

She wanted to break through to the Earth Essence realm in one go!

Feng Ziyi could have broken through to the Earth Essence realm a long time ago.

It was only because she wanted to enter the Ten Absolute Hell and meet Feng Cantian that she suppressed her cultivation realm the entire time.

Later on, Feng Cantian broke free and entered the Emperor’s Tomb. With those series of events, she had no chance to break through at all.

If she broke through after being cursed in the Emperor’s Tomb, it would be equivalent to courting death.

Now that she had returned to the prince’s residence and purged the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb, all the obstacles on Feng Ziyi were clear. The Essence Qi in her body surged towards the barrier of the Earth Essence realm!
