2565 Gongsun Wen Tian

With Xuan Yuan Zhi glaring at him, the middle-aged man did not dare hesitate and quickly replied, "Yes, yes… Senior, my name is Gongsun Yun. I'm an elder of the Gongsun family."

Xuan Yuan Zhi looked at Gongsun Yun and said indifferently, "I heard the Gongsun family has moved to another planet about 300 years ago. Take us there..."

Although Xuan Yuan Zhi's tone was calm, and his expression was indifferent, his words sounded threatening, therefore, Gongsun Yun did not dare to refuse. Gongsun Yun also had no intention of finding out if the old ancestor of the Yellow Thearch Mansion would kill him if he refused the request. He might be a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial of the Gongsun family, but if this person wanted to kill him, even if the Gongsun family wanted to avenge him, they would not be able to do so. After all, even their strongest old ancestor was not able to kill this person standing before him.

Led by Gongsun Yun, Duan Ling Tian and Xuan Yuan Zhi soon arrived near the planet where the Gongsun family was based.

The planet was blue. With a glance, it was easy to tell their ecosystem was similar to earth, but it was ten times bigger than earth

"Senior, our Gongsun family is based on this planet." Gongsun Yun said. Then, he asked anxiously, "C-can I leave now?"

"Scram," Xuan Yuan Zhi said calmly.

Gongsun Yun sighed in relief before he flew to the distance. In just a blink of an eye, he had disappeared from Duan Ling Tian and Xuan Yuan Zhi's sight.

Xuan Yuan Zhi was about to ask Duan Ling Tian about his plan when Duan Ling Tian's majestic voice rang in the air. "I'm Duan Ling Tian! Bring Su Li to me in the next fifteen minutes, and make sure he's in his best condition. If I don't see him in fifteen minutes… I, Duan Ling Tian, will annihilate the Gongsun family."

Duan Ling Tian's voice that was infused with his energy was heard by every inhabitant on the planet before him. His words shocked everyone and caused an uproar.

Many people gasped when they heard Duan Ling Tian's words.

"Duan Ling Tian? Is he the one who barged into the Heavenly Wave Mansion and killed their Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?"

"Apart from that Duan Ling Tian, is there anyone else who's so bold to publicly announce he would destroy the Gongsun family?"

"The Gongsun family is the top force in Yan Huang Realm. Moreover, one of the two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials of the family is the strongest person in Yan Huang Realm! Is Duan Ling Tian trying to seek death by proclaiming he wants to annihilate the Gongsun family?"

"That might not be the case. After all, Duan Ling Tian is capable of killing that Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Heavenly Wave Mansion."

On the planet that housed the Gongsun family and the other planets they ruled, they were many other second and third-tier forces. They had to regularly send Saint Stones to the Gongsun family as a fee for protection and cultivation resources in the Mystical Ancient Galaxy.

"It's true he killed the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Heavenly Wave Mansion, but don't forget that's only because that Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial didn't use soul attacks!"

"You're right. I heard Duan Ling Tian is only an Eminent Celestial. Although he's really strong and has even mastered a technique that allowed him to snatch Celestial Supreme Treasures from his opponents, his soul is still that of an Eminent Celestial."

"How unfortunate. The Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Heavenly Wave Mansion had also cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment technique, but he was still killed by Duan Ling Tian."

"Indeed. It's a waste. He had a chance to kill Duan Ling Tian. Even if he had to die, he could have taken Duan Ling Tian's life as well..."

Many people knew Duan Ling Tian was only an Eminent Celestial. They also knew the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Heavenly Wave Mansion was not aware that Duan Ling Tian was an Eminent Celestial. Otherwise, at the very least, even if he had to die, he could have dragged Duan Ling Tian down with him.

"If I'm not mistaken, the old ancestor from the Gongsun family who's widely regarded as the strongest person in Yan Huang Realm has also cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment technique, right?"

"You're right. The old ancestor from the Gongsun family has indeed cultivated the Soul Congregation Embodiment technique."

"Apart from that, the old ancestor from the Gongsun family is widely acknowledged as the strongest person in Yan Huang Realm. If he's prepared, there's a high chance he could kill Duan Ling Tian with his soul attack before Duan Ling Tian could do him any harm. Worst case scenario, he could still kill Duan Ling Tian as well before he dies."

"Well, if Duan Ling Tian is swift enough and attacks before the old ancestor manages to cast his soul attack, Duan Ling Tian will be unharmed."

"Indeed!"

Similar discussions could be heard everywhere on the planet. Most of them were uncertain of the outcome if Duan Ling Tian and the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Gongsun family were to fight. They only knew whoever managed to strike first would have the upper hand. Worst case scenario, both of them would die together.

"This is a bit awkward..."

"Huh! I still think the old ancestor from the Gongsun family has a higher chance of winning. Duan Ling Tian only managed to kill the old ancestor from the Heavenly Wave Mansion because they didn't know he was only an Eminent Celestial. However, everyone knows he's an Eminent Celestial now. Moreover, since he announced his presence so openly, he wouldn't be able to catch the Gongsun family off guard. The Gongsun family will definitely come prepared."

"I agree."

"I really wonder what's going through Duan Ling Tian's mind. Why would he just barge in and openly announce his presence? This is disadvantageous to him. Did he forget he's just an Eminent Celestial?"

More and more people began to think Duan Ling Tian was too reckless. He had given his opponent the upper hand by announcing his presence.

...

In space, outside the blue planet.

"Brother Ling Tian… You… You're too reckless!" Xuan Yuan Zhi was perplexed. He had thought of many possibilities for today, but he really did not expect this.

Since Duan Ling Tian had announced his arrival, there was no doubt the old ancestors from the Gongsun family would make preparations to deal with Duan Ling Tian. In any case, there's no more hope for Duan Ling Tian to catch the old ancestor off guard and ambush or assassinate him.

"Reckless?" Duan Ling Tian laughed lightly when he heard Xuan Yuan Zhi's words. "Perhaps…"

At this moment, a strong voice rang from somewhere on the planet. The person laughed before saying, "Duan Ling Tian! You're finally here! I have waited for you for a long time!"

Similarly, all the inhabitants on the planet heard this person's voice as well.

A hint of anger could be seen on Xuan Yuan Zhi's face as he narrowed his eyes. "It's Gongsun Wen Tian! That old fool!"

Previously, if the other Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Gongsun family was the only one who came to take Su Li away, Xuan Yuan Zhi would have been able to stop him. However, this person, Gongsun Wen Tian, had come as well, making him unable to save Su Li.

Not to mention Xuan Yuan Zhi, even his older brother, Xuan Yuan Rui, who was stronger than him was around, his brother still would not be able to stop this person.

"Gongsun Wen Tian?" Duan Ling Tian's eyes narrowed when he heard Xuan Yuan Zhi's words. A cold light flashed in his eyes.

Gongsun Wen Tian! The strongest person in Yan Huang realm!

Apart from Xuan Yuan Zhi, Duan Ling Tian had also heard about Gongsun Wen Tian from Tang Xiao Xiao previously. This person was like a modern-day legend after he became the strongest person in Yan Huang Realm.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two gusts of wind suddenly appeared accompanied by the arrival of two figures in front of Duan Ling Tian and Xuan Yuan Zhi. To be more accurate, there were three figures.

One of them was an old man dressed in blue robes while the other figure was an old man dressed in turquoise robes who was holding onto a frail-looking young man with a pale face.

"Su Li!" Duan Ling Tian cried out, his expression changed drastically when he saw the state the young man was in. His eyes burned with fires of anger as he stared at the turquoise-clad old man. "Old fart! What did you do to Su Li?"

The young man was, indeed, Su Li. When Su Li heard Duan Ling Tian's voice, he struggled to open his eyes before he said in a hoarse voice, "D-duan Ling Tian… Leave! Go… now! D-don't worry… about me…"

"Gongsun Wen Tian!" Xuan Yuan Zhi's expression turned grim and cold. It was as though he could freeze the air with just a look. He bellowed, "You… How dare you torture an elder from our Yellow Threarch Mansion?! Do you really think our Yellow Threarch Mansion can't retaliate?"

The turquoise-clad old man was none other than Gongsun Wen Tian, the strongest person in Yan Huang Realm. When he heard Xuan Yuan Zhi's words, he said nonchalantly, "I didn't plan to torture him. I had to seal his power and torture him mentally. Otherwise, he would've killed himself. This brat really values friendship. He would rather die than be used to threaten his friend!"
