Chapter 1457 Rivalry



Thud!

Tian Jia fell heavily to the ground, breaking the silence and waking everyone up.

Tian Ren came back to his sense and hurriedly went to Tian Jia's side. "How're you, Palace Master?"

His face wasn't good as he saw a bloody hole in Tian Jia's back. Clearly, Yun Lintian's attack was highly terrifying. If he was the one who got attacked, Tian Ren didn't think he could survive it. 

One had to know that a Divine Sovereign's physique was so tough that even spiritual weapons couldn't hurt it, yet Yun Lintian could easily leave a hole in Tian Jia's chest.

Fortunately, Yun Lintian didn't seem to have an intention of killing Tian Jia. He deliberately avoided Tian Jia's heart. Otherwise, she would undoubtedly die. Even if her vitality was strong, it was almost impossible to recover from it in a short time.

Tian Xiaodie and Tian Xiaowu returned to their senses and subconsciously looked at Yun Lintian in terror. They now understood why Tian Hualing brought him here.

Yun Lintian took a few deep breaths to recover from the excessive energy usage. Since he fused with the Dragon God's Soul, the other three divine beast's souls had gone through a huge transformation. Even if Yun Lintian had already stepped into the Divine Spirit Realm, it was still difficult for him to use it twice in a row.

At this moment, Tian Shan jumped up and glared at Yun Lintian coldly. "How dare you attack people here?"

Yun Lintian glanced at him and said calmly. "Do you want to try it?"

He didn't bother to reason with this jumping clown. Obviously, Tian Jia was the one who started first.

"You…" Tian Shan was furious but didn't dare to act rashly.

In the Heavenhold Sect, there were two major factions—Tian Hualing's and Tian Jia's. Both he and Tian Ren were naturally members of Tian Jia's faction. Seeing their leader become like this, how could they sit still?

Yun Lintian ignored him and turned toward the entrance. "Are you done watching?"

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Tian Hualing slowly walked over with a faint smile on her face. "Sure enough. I couldn't escape from your perception."

Before Tian Jia made a move, Yun Lintian could perceive Tian Hualing's aura. Obviously, she had arrived a while ago but didn't show up. This was also the reason Yun Lintian dared to attack Tian Jia.

Yun Lintian stared at her and said. "You shouldn't do this. I've told you before that I don't care about your political nonsense here."

"My bad," Tian Hualing said apologetically. "I was merely curious about your ceiling."

Tian Xiaodie and the others were surprised by Tian Hualing's low stance. She was a dignified supreme elder who stood above millions, but she actually admitted her mistake in front of Yun Lintian. This made their curiosity toward Yun Lintian grow further.

"There's no second time." Yun Lintian said calmly.

Tian Hualing nodded gently.

"Cough!" At this moment, Tian Jia coughed up blood and struggled to get up from the ground with the help of Tian Ren. Her face was pale as a white sheet, and her eyes brimmed with a flame of fury mixing with a trace of fear. 

Although she was aware that she was still alive because of Yun Lintian's mercy, it didn't prevent her from taking revenge. 

Tian Hualing shifted her gaze onto Tian Jia and said softly. "Tian Jia, as Heaven Palace Master, you actually took action against a junior who has nothing to do with you. Are you not afraid of losing your dignity?"

Tian Jia glared at Tian Hualing with deep hatred as she responded. "Hmph! Tian Hualing, you're actually trying to question me? The person you brought back obviously violated the rules here by trespassing into the hall without permission. I had already given him a chance to leave, but he actually scolded me. Tell me. What did I do wrong here?"

She coughed up another mouthful of blood and said further. "And you. You knew very well that it was against the rules to bring someone back without notifying me. Not only does he have to be punished today, but you also have to give me an explanation!"

Tian Hualing responded calmly. "It is true that I didn't notify you about this, but I am acting on our Realm King's behalf. Do you need her to come over?"

Tian Jia and the others were shocked. They didn't expect it to be Tian Yuhan's order.

However, Tian Jia didn't want to give in. She retorted coldly. "Don't use our Realm King's name to scare me. Even if it was her order, the rule is the rule."

Before Tian Hualing could say anything, Yun Lintian suddenly asked. "What would happen if I killed her here?"

The expressions of Tian Jia and the others changed drastically upon hearing this.

"Bastard! Do you think you can use the same trick on me?" Tian Jia was so furious that she couldn't wait to kill Yun Lintian.

Yun Lintian didn't say anything. He gently moved his spear and prepared to attack.

However, Tian Hualing stopped him first. "Leave it to me."

Tian Hualing turned to Tian Jia, and her aura gradually enveloped the entire space. "I used to regard you as a rival, but it seemed you are no longer worthy… Do you know why I can defeat you? It's because you're too narrow-minded, always letting your emotion win. Dealing with a person with such a personality, I don't have to spend my effort at all because it's too easy."

"You!" Tian Jia spurted out another mouthful of fresh blood and almost fainted on the spot.

"Please stop, Palace Master. Let's treat your injury first." Tian Ren said worriedly. Tian Jia could have died out of anger here if this continued.

Tian Jia calmed down and said coldly. "This matter won't end here."

As she spoke, she turned around and limped away under Tian Ren's support.

Tian Hualing watched as Tian Jia left in a complicated mood. Both of them used to be good fellow sisters, but she didn't know what happened to Tian Jia to make her become like this.

Shaking her head to get rid of the messy thoughts, she turned to Yun Lintian and said. "Our Realm King wants to see you."

"Let's go." Yun Lintian nodded slightly.
