2428 Calamity
When the City Lord of Xuanpu City, Hong Shan, saw that, a strange look flashed through his eyes. Realizing that Tao Yao was extraordinary, he suddenly said, “Brother Song, the blood peach blossom tree has already ripened. Since this peach blossom spirit is useless to you, how about giving it to ?”
“Of course, I can use treasures in exchange. It depends on what you need, Brother Song.”
Song Xuan smiled gently. “Brother Hong Shan, this peach blossom spirit is rare in the world and its endownt and talent are all superior-class. It’s a priceless treasure and I can’t bear to give it to soone else.”
When he heard Song Xuan’s resolute tone, Hong Shan burst into laughter and did not ntion anything more.
Song Xuan turned around and looked at the thousands of Perfected Immortals who were already seated in the hall. He raised his voice and said, “Fellow Daoists, the number of blood peaches is limited. I apologize, but the blood peaches will have to be shared.”
“City Lord Song, you’re too kind.”
“Thank you, City Lord.”
Thousands of Perfected Immortals said softly.
Song Xuan beckoned and a group of young won carrying jade trays entered the hall one after another.
On the trays were sliced blood peaches.
The surface of the fruit was filled with blood and the juice was a sticky blood-red. However, it emitted a rich fragrance and lifeforce.
Thousands of Perfected Immortals looked at the blood peaches on the tray with excited expressions and burning gazes.
Even the fruits of an ordinary Immortal Peach Tree could extend a cultivator’s lifespan, strengthen their physique and True Essence.
A variant blood peach like this would definitely provide an even more obvious boost for everyone!
Su Zimo’s expression was cold and he remained silent.
Lin Luo looked at the blood peaches and frowned.
At the thought that the blood peaches were born from the blood of the skinny boy, she felt disgusted and a deep look of repulse flashed through her eyes.
“The four of you don’t have to worry.”
Song Xuan looked at Hong Shan, Young Master Lan Tian and the other two and smiled. “Given our relationship, the four of you will naturally be able to get to taste a complete blood peach.”
“Thank you, Brother Song!”
Young Master Lan Tian waved his fan.
Hong Shan smacked his lips impatiently.
Fairy Nan Yang said softly, “Brother Song, we’ll definitely do our best for the matter you entrusted us with today.”
“Fellow Daoists, let introduce you guys. This girl is the daughter of the Battle King and Immortal Queen Ling Long, Lin Lei’s younger sister, Lin Luo.”
Song Xuan beckoned to Lin Luo with a smile.
“So, that’s her family background. That explains why she possesses such an extraordinary aura,” Fairy Nan Yang smiled gently and praised.
“Yes, she’s a beauty.”
Young Master Lan Tian nodded slightly.
Hong Shan grinned. “So, she’s Lin Lei’s sister. That explains why she looked so familiar. Speaking of which, I’m starting to miss your brother.”
The remaining City Lord of Tianyong City, Gu Xiu, remained silent and said nothing. He rely raised his head to look at Lin Luo with an indifferent expression.
Although the City Lords praised her, Lin Luo could sense that there was sothing strange about the way they looked at her!
“Greetings, City Lords.”
Lin Luo cupped her fists.
After all, they had not fallen out yet and had to be perfunctory on the surface.
Fairy Nan Yang swept her gaze across Su Zimo’s face and asked, “Who is this young man? Why don’t I recognize you at all?”
“He is…”
Suddenly, Song Xuan realized that he did not know Su Zimo’s na yet. However, he was not interested in knowing either. Pausing for a mont, he said casually, “He’s an inner sect disciple of Heaven and Earth Academy.”
“Oh?”
Fairy Nan Yang smiled. “That explains why you look like a nerd. Standing there with your cold expression without even bothering to greet us.”
The City Lords had long detected that Su Zimo was only a Grade 5 Heaven Immortal and naturally did not take him seriously.
Lin Luo could not help but ask, “My brother isn’t here yet?”
“Anyti now.”
Song Xuan smiled gently. “Don’t worry, today’s Blood Peach Banquet will only officially begin when your brother arrives. Of course, you and your brother will have a chance to taste the variant blood peaches that I painstakingly nurtured.”
“I don’t want it.”
Lin Luo frowned.
Right then, a maidservant had already brought a few complete blood peaches to Song Xuan and the others.
Hong Shan took a blood peach first and wiped it roughly before smiling. “Little girl, this blood peach is a rare treasure in the world. If you eat one, it might help you advance a minor realm!”
“Even so, I’m not eating it!”
Lin Luo’s tone was decisive and her face was filled with resistance.
Young Master Lan Tian and the others exchanged glances and sneered.
Hong Shan could not help but urge, “Brother Song, let’s not wait for Lin Lei anymore. Why don’t we eat first?”
Su Zimo, who was initially silent at the side, suddenly spoke and said coldly, “I advise you guys not to eat it either.”
That sudden voice seed a little piercing in the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
The initially noisy hall gradually quietened down.
Everyone looked over. The gazes of thousands of Perfected Immortal experts landed on Su Zimo with an unimaginable might!
“What did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”
Hong Shan could not help but raise his brow. He glared at Su Zimo and asked in an unfriendly tone.
Expressionlessly, Su Zimo said word by word, “It’s best if you guys don’t touch these blood peaches. Otherwise, you’ll definitely encounter a calamity.”
When Young Master Lan Tian and the others saw how calm Su Zimo was, they suddenly felt guilty and uneasy.
Song Xuan was unmoved and asked indifferently, “What calamity? Please elaborate.”
Su Zimo said, “I heard that this blood peach blossom tree was born from the blood of that peach blossom spirit. That peach blossom spirit is a Dao child that served Desolate Martial from the Fiend Domain.”
“So?”
Song Xuan continued asking.
Su Zimo glared at Song Xuan and said slowly, “Therefore, Desolate Martial will definitely not let things go. He will definitely co and settle scores with you! No one who eats the blood peaches will be able to escape!”
The hall fell into a montary silence.
Imdiately after, thunderous laughter burst forth!
“Hahahaha!”
“I’m dying of laughter! When he ntioned a calamity, I wondered what it was given his morbid tone. To think that he was rely referring to Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain. What a fuss!”
“That Desolate Martial guy sure knows how to brag, claiming that he encountered the Tenth Tribulation when in reality, he rely just advanced to the Perfected One realm.”
“That’s right! Yan Zui and the others must have died because of Fiend King Heavenly Wrath. There’s no way they died in his hands.”
In the hall, many Perfected Immortals discussed with smiles on their faces. They had relaxed expressions and were completely calm.
Hong Shan rolled his eyes and bit the blood peach. His mouth was filled with blood as he cursed, “Desolate Martial huh? What bullsh*t! If he dares to look for , I’ll slap him to death!”
Fairy Nan Yang heaved a sigh of relief—it was a false alarm.
When she thought about how she was almost scared by this Grade 5 Heaven Immortal earlier on, she could not help but laugh self-deprecatingly.
“Fufufufu.”
Song Xuan laughed as well and looked at Su Zimo with a mocking gaze, shaking his head. “Are all disciples of Heaven and Earth Academy so naive and ignorant?”
“Do you know where we are?”
Before Su Zimo could reply, Song Xuan hollered, “Under your feet is Langfeng City, one of the five cities of the Jade Firmant Immortal Domain!”
“Right now, the Immortal Peach Banquet is ongoing alongside the competition for the Heaven Ranking. There are five City Lords holding down the fort with thousands of Perfected Immortals gathered, not to ntion countless Heaven Immortals. No matter how bold Desolate Martial is, there’s no way he would dare to take half a step into Langfeng City!”
