Eternal Sacred King-Chapter 1908: Test

Chapter 1908: Test Translator: Legge

Against the scrutinizing gaze of the person with the highest authority on the Dragon Abyss Star, Su Zimo had a calm expression and merely cupped his fists. “Thank you for saving me, City Lord.”

No matter if it was to intimidate Liu Tong or for any other reason, Xu Shi had stepped in to help him avoid trouble.

If not for Xu Shi, he would have gone on a massacre in Dragon Abyss City. Even if he could escape from this place, there would be endless trouble in the future!

“Su Zimo,”

Xu Shi nodded slowly. “I’ve long heard about you. All these years, you’ve caused quite a stir on the Dragon Abyss Star.”

!!

Su Zimo did not understand what Xu Shi meant and remained silent.

Xu Shi did not continue discussing this matter and suddenly changed the topic. “I heard that you’re extremely talented and have peerless combat strength. You can kill opponents above your level. Back then, you were only a Grade 5 Black Immortal but you could already kill Grade 7 Black Immortals.”

“I was just lucky,”

Su Zimo said.

Xu Shi glared at Su Zimo with a bright gaze and said coldly, “In that case, now that you’re a Grade 7 Black Immortal, doesn’t that mean that you have the combat strength to kill me?”

There was a hint of hostility in his words!

It gave off the feeling that if Su Zimo replied wrongly, Xu Shi would suddenly attack and kill Su Zimo as a threat in advance!

Sensing that something was amiss with the atmosphere, Xu Xiaotian could not help but say uneasily, “Father, Brother Su saved my life. Why would he hurt you? Don’t pull a long face. It’s scary.”

“City Lord, you must be joking. I wouldn’t dare,”

Su Zimo said indifferently.

Although he did not dare to, he did not say that he could not!

Naturally, Xu Shi could tell the slight difference.

However, he was not enraged. Instead, he burst into laughter. “Good, good! Su Zimo, you’re indeed courageous. I like it! You saved Xiaotian and have such innate combat strength. Why don’t you stay in Dragon Abyss City and help me?”

“Don’t worry, your status in Dragon Abyss City will be equivalent to the other commanders. I’ll also provide you with a considerable number of Essence Condensation Pills to cultivate.”

Xu Xiaotian was delighted and said hurriedly, “Brother Su, hurry and agree! You can stay and accompany me while we cultivate together.”

To be able to provide Essence Condensation Pills at the same level as a commander was an extremely sincere invitation.

However, if Su Zimo wanted to cultivate rapidly, he needed Essence Spirit Stones.

Essence Condensation Pills were not much of an attraction for him.

Su Zimo was not interested in the position of a commander either.

Now that Liu Tong was a Grade 9 Black Immortal, there was a high chance that a fight for the position of City Lord would break out between him and Xu Shi in the future.

If he stayed to help Xu Shi, he would definitely be embroiled in this battle.

Su Zimo did not have the energy or mood to get involved in such a power struggle.

Su Zimo pondered for a moment. “Thank you for your high regard, City Lord. However, my mind is not here. I still want to leave the Dragon Abyss Star as soon as possible.”

“Are you really leaving?”

Xu Shi frowned slightly.

“Yes,”

Su Zimo nodded.

When Xu Shi saw Su Zimo reject his invitation, he did not have any regrets. Instead, a look of relief flashed through his eyes, as though he was relieved of a burden.

His invitation earlier on was merely a test.

If Su Zimo were to stay, he would definitely keep an eye on Su Zimo and be on guard!

Now that Su Zimo had made up his mind, he was relieved.

On the other hand, Xu Xiaotian looked reluctant.

Su Zimo thought for a moment and asked, “I heard that the teleportation formation in Dragon Abyss City can only teleport once a year. Is that true?”

“Indeed,”

Xu Shi was in a good mood and waved his hand. “However, you’re Xiaotian’s lifesaving benefactor. It’s nothing much for me to send an order to activate a teleportation formation for you individually.”

“You don’t have to pay for your hundred Essence Spirit Stones either,”

“Thank you, City Lord,”

Su Zimo was secretly delighted and expressed his thanks.

With that, not only could he leave the Dragon Abyss Star immediately, he could even save a hundred Essence Spirit Stones.

Essence Spirit Stones were way too important to him!

Xu Shi raised his hand and tossed a badge to Xu Xiaotian. “Take my badge and take Su Zimo over. We can activate the teleportation formation right away.”

With that said, Xu Shi turned to leave.

“Brother Su, follow me,”

Xu Xiaotian led Su Zimo towards the teleportation formation of the City Lord’s residence.

Along the way, he could not help but ask, “Brother Su, are you really not going to stay? Although my father was rude to you earlier on, he’s actually a very nice person.”

Su Zimo smiled and patted Xu Xiaotian on the shoulder gently. “Actually, your father’s vigilance towards me is not without reason.”

“Huh?”

Xu Xiaotian was puzzled.

Su Zimo explained, “I did save you before, but how much do you know about me? How do you know that I’m not doing this to get close to your father or have other motives?”

Xu Xiaotian hesitated for a long time before saying, “I’m sure you won’t, Brother Su.”

Although he said that, he did not have the confidence and felt guilty.

He realized that he knew nothing about Su Zimo apart from the latter’s name.

Su Zimo smiled. “The pugilistic world is treacherous. It’s never wrong to be cautious.”

“Yes!”

Xu Xiaotian nodded vigorously.

The two of them advanced through the winding stone paths of the garden. Before long, the path ahead opened up and a teleportation formation made of green stones appeared.

Every single green stone was etched with mysterious and complicated formation patterns.

The final teleportation formation was only formed after so many green stones were built together.

There were four to five guards guarding the teleportation formation.

Xu Xiaotian walked forward and took out the City Lord Badge. “Guard Cui, this is my father’s badge. He wants you to activate the teleportation formation and send someone away.”

Guard Cui blushed slightly and averted his gaze, saying embarrassedly, “Young master, I’m truly sorry. This teleportation formation is broken.”

“What?!”

Xu Xiaotian frowned and hollered, “Why did the teleportation formation suddenly break down? How did you guys guard it?!”

Although he was not old, he had already begun to possess authority.

Su Zimo walked forward and took a look around the teleportation formation. Before long, he discovered the problem and pointed to a long green stone. “This green stone is shattered to such an extent. It can’t be an accident. It’s caused by external forces.”

In other words, someone did not want him to leave and destroyed the teleportation formation on purpose!

Xu Xiaotian straightened his face with a cold expression. “Guard Cui, how dare you!”

“I-It’s not my fault,”

Guard Cui rubbed his hands and laughed dryly. “It was fine previously and was only broken just now. I definitely didn’t do it.”

“Who was it then?”

Xu Xiaotian asked.

“I have no idea as well,”

Guard Cui said with a fake smile.

Although he was respectful on the surface, he did not take the young master before him to heart.

Xu Xiaotian clenched his fists and said coldly, “It’s your dereliction of duty to guard this place without knowing who destroyed the teleportation formation! I’ll inform my father right now and punish you for your dereliction of duty!”

“N-No!”

The moment Guard Cui heard Xu Xiaotian mention the City Lord, he panicked and stammered, “Commander Liu just came and asked us to leave for a period of time before we left. We don’t know what happened during that period of time either.”

“Liu Tong!”

Xu Xiaotian grit his teeth with an indignant expression.
