Duan Ling Tian hovered in the air and looked down at the Azure Green Mansion’s base indifferently.
On the contrary, the group of Azure Green Mansion disciples in the base looked grim. Many of them were trapped in the base now since they could not leave their base because of Duan Ling Tian.
One of the Azure Green Mansion disciples cursed, “Damn it! How did Duan Ling Tian discover the location of our base?”
A well-informed disciple replied, “I heard that a Profound Nether Mansion disciple was eliminated when he was near our base. That disciple must have exposed our location!”
“Damn it! Is Duan Ling Tian really going to wait here and stop us from leaving?”
“Is he trying to mimic Senior Gongsun Wu Ji who waited outside of the Profound Nether Mansion’s base previously?”
“Mimic Senior Gongsun Wu Ji? What a joke! Does he think he’s comparable to Senior Gongsun Wu Ji? Ridiculous!”
“Words of Duan Ling Tian waiting outside our camp have spread. Senior Gongsun should’ve received news of this; he must be on his way over now. I can’t wait for Senior Gongsun to teach him a lesson!!”
“Does Duan Ling Tian think he’s strong just because he ranked first last month? Would he even be capable of eliminating the Red Leaves Mansion’s Ximen Hao Xuan if he didn’t have the Martial Battle Mansion’s Wan Qing Qing’s help?”
“He might be able to fight Senior Gongsun if Wan Qing Qing were here. Alas, he has no hope of defeating Senior Gongsun alone!”
The group of Azure Green Mansion disciples was, naturally, furious since they were trapped in the base by Duan Ling Tian.
At this moment, more and more disciples appeared in the Transporting Formation in the Azure Green Mansion’s base. Most of them had come to watch the show.
After the number of disciples reached a certain number, the other disciples were finally barred from coming in. It was clear the Azure Green Mansion had stopped their members from entering the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Heaven.
“So that’s the Profound Nether Mansion’s Duan Ling Tian?”
“Amazing! He’s really less than 100 years old! I had assumed it was just a rumor. Regardless, there’s no way he’s a match for Senior Gongsun.”
Someone scoffed and said, “In my opinion, he’s going to turn tail and run immediately as soon as Senior Gongsun arrives!”
“Run? Is he capable of running away from Senior Gongsun? Senior Gongsun is as fast as Wan Qing Qing. How’s Duan Ling Tian going to run away when he’s clearly slower than Wan Qing Qing?”
“That’s right! If he wants to run away, he can only crush his Accumulative Point Jade to leave the middle realm!”
…
At the sites of the Transporting Formations in the Azure Green Mansion’s estate.
Many people were gathered at this moment.
“Why aren’t we allowed to enter?”
“I want to see Senior Gongsun Wu Ji kill Duan Ling Tian!”
“Even if Senior Gongsun Wu Ji doesn’t kill Duan Ling Tian, I want to watch Duan Ling Tian crush his Accumulative Point Jade to escape from Senior Gongsun Wu Ji!”
“How bold of him to wait outside our base. Where did he get his courage from?”
The Azure Green Mansion disciples who arrived late and were denied entry to the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm could only wait as they stared at the scoreboard intently,
Currently, Gongsun Wu Ji was ranked 2nd with 522 points while Duan Ling Tian was ranked 7th with 383 points.
“After Senior Gongsun Wu Ji eliminates Duan Ling Tian, he’ll definitely secure the top spot this month!”
“That’s right. In my opinion, Duan Ling Tian is sent by the heavens to help Senior Gongsun rise to the top of the scoreboard!”
Similar to the other members of the Azure Green Mansion, the high-ranking officials were keeping an eye on the scoreboard as well. As soon as they received news of Duan Ling Tian waiting outside their base, they had notified Gongsun Wu Ji immediately.
As the strongest Ten Directions Celestial Duke in the Azure Green Mansion, he was the only person capable of defeating Duan Ling Tian. The second strongest person after Gongsun Wu Ji was only ranked in the top 30, therefore, he was not a match for Duan Ling Tian.
…
Meanwhile, news of Duan Ling Tian waiting outside the Azure Green Mansion’s base in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm had also spread to the other grade-six Celestial Mansions.
“Duan Ling Tian’s waiting outside the Azure Green Mansion’s base? Does he have a habit of waiting outside of grade-six Celestial Mansions’ bases?”
“It’s obvious he deliberately went there because of the grudge between the Profound Nether Mansion and the Azure Green Mansion. Moreover, Gongsun Wu Ji had done this to Profound Nether Mansion a few times as well.”
“The Azure Green Mansion is different from the Fire Glaze Mansion. Duan Ling Tian had easily dealt with the Fire Glaze Mansion’s disciples because he had defeated Tan Yuan, the Fire Glaze Mansions’s strongest Ten Directions Celestial Duke. However, how could Tan Yuan compare to Gongsun Wu Ji?”
“That’s right. Gongsun Wu Ji’s strength is on par with Ximen Hao Xuan. Although Duan Ling Tian eliminated Ximen Hao Xuan previously, he couldn’t have done it without Wan Qing Qing’s help. How does he plan to fight Gongsun Wu Ji without Wan Qing Qing’s help?”
Clearly, most people did not think Duan Ling Tian was a match for Gongsun Wuji.
…
In the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate.
“Senior Duan Ling Tian has gone to the Azure Green Mansion’s base?”
“How reckless! Doesn’t he know about the Azure Green Mansion’s Gongsun Wu Ji? Gongsun Wu Ji is in a different league from the Fire Glaze Mansion’s Tan Yuan!”
“Let’s hope he leaves before Gongsun Wu Ji arrives. Otherwise, the only way he can escape at that time is to crush his Accumulative Point Jade!”
Similar to those from the other grade-six Celestial Mansions, the people from the Profound Nether Mansion did not feel optimistic about Duan Ling Tian’s chance of winning.
Meanwhile, as soon as Qi Tian Ming received news of this, he sent a message that was brimming with urgency to Duan Ling Tian. “Boy, what are you doing? Hurry up and leave the Azure Green Mansion’s base before it’s too late!”
…
In the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
Wan Qing Qing who had just entered the middle realm a few days ago had also received news about this from one of her sisters in the Martial Battle Mansion. “Duan Ling Tian has gone to the Azure Green Mansion’s base? He’s really too reckless… However, at the same time, he’s not the kind that would recklessly… Does this mean he’s confident that he’d be able to defeat Gongsun Wu Ji?”
About half an hour later, she received another message from her sisters telling her the route to the Azure Green Mansion’s base. She discovered it was not far from her current location.
“I wonder if Gongsun Wu Ji has arrived at the Azure Green Mansion’s base.” After receiving the location of the Azure Green Mansion’s base, Wan Qing Qing made her way there immediately.
At the same time, more and more people in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm learned about Duan Ling Tian waiting outside the Azure Green Mansion’s base as well. As a result, a crowd began to form outside the Azure Green Mansion’s base as well.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who was hovering above the Azure Green Mansion’s base cocked an eyebrow when he saw the crowd that had gathered. “So many people turned up?”
As he swept his eyes across the crowd of people, he saw a familiar face. It was none other than the Martial Battle Mansion’s Heng Feng.
When Heng Feng saw Duan Ling Tian looking at him, he nodded and smiled awkwardly.
It did not take long before Wan Qing Qing appeared with a group of Martial Battle Mansion disciples as well. Her presence caused a small commotion immediately.
“It’s Wan Qing Qing!”
“Is she here to join forces with Duan Ling Tian?”
“That’s unlikely. If she joins forces to defeat Gongsun Wu Ji now, the Azure Green Mansion will definitely hold her accountable!”
“That’s right. If she and Duan Ling Tian eliminate Gongsun Wu Ji in any other place, apart from the Azure Green Mansion’s base, it’d be fine. However, she’ll definitely offend the Azure Green Mansion if she joins forces with Duan Ling Tian in front of their base!”
“Under these circumstances, nobody, except for those from the Profound Nether Mansion, would dare to help Duan Ling Tian. They’re only going to make an enemy out of the Azure Green Mansion if they help Duan Ling Tian now.”
Meanwhile, Wan Qing Qing did not pay attention to the discussion in her surroundings. Instead, she sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian. “Do you need help?”
“Junior Sister Qing!” Heng Feng called out as his expression changed drastically. Although he did not hear Wan Qing Qing’s Voice Transmission, he could tell she planned to help Duan Ling Tian based on the look in her eyes.
“There’s no need for that.” Duan Ling Tian was surprised by Wan Qing Qing’s Voice Transmission. When he turned to look at her, he could see the determination in her eyes. He was rather touched by her offer to help him. Although they worked together last month, it was a purely business relationship, driven by mutual benefits, after all, He did not expect her to risk offending the Azure Green Mansion for him.
“Are you confident?” Wan Qing Qing asked.
Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly in response.
With this, Wan Qing Qing stepped backward.
Heng Feng heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
…
About 15 minutes later…
A cold voice rang from the distance. “Duan Ling Tian!” It was clear the person who had spoken was moving at top speed.
As soon as the voice fell, the eyes of the Azure Green Mansion disciples in the base lit up immediately.
“Senior Gongsun Wu Ji!”
