The peerless beauty Duan Ling Tian had a glimpse of through the side window of the carriage looked exactly like Ke’er. Everything about her was like Ke’er except for the hairstyle. He was very familiar with his wife, after all. Each of the woman’s facial features was exactly like Ke’er’s. With that, how could he
not stop the carriage?
“Keer, is it you?”
Duan Ling Tian did not care about the angry middle-aged man and the agitated demon beasts at all at this moment. All he cared about at this moment was the beautiful woman sitting in the carriage.
“A Si, what’s going on?”
Ahoarse and old female voice rang from the carriage at this moment.
“You know the Young Miss isn’t feeling well and can’t be stressed out.”
The middle-aged man’s expression changed as he said fearfully, “Elder Qing Ze, I didn’t mean to frighten the Young Miss. An unknown man suddenly appeared and blocked our path.”
“Do you really need an old lady like me to personally resolve such a trivial matter?” the old lady said impatiently.
“Of course not, Elder Qing Ze,” the middle-aged man hastily replied. Then, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian with a dark expression and bellowed, “Get lost, brat! Otherwise, don’t blame me if the carriage runs you over!”
When Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness, he discovered that the carriage was protected by a Formation that blocked his voice.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man grew impatient and angrier when he saw Duan Ling Tian ignoring him. He no longer cared and drove the carriage forward toward Duan Ling Tian.
The onlookers were shocked by this.
“He’s going to die!”
“The young man seems distracted!”
“Is he crazy? Not only did he block someone’s carriage, but he even ignore the warning and is standing there for the carriage to run him down?”
“Look at the token hanging on his waist… H-he seems to be a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect!”
The onlookers were shocked when they saw Duan Ling Tian’s identity token. With the status of the core disciples in the Hidden Fog Sect, the sect definitely would not let the matter slide if their core disciples were harmed. Moreover, there were not many core disciples in the Hidden Fog Sect. In the history of
the sect, there had never been more than 100 core disciples at one time. Currently, there were fewer than 70 core disciples in the Hidden Fog Sect.
“A core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect?* The middle-aged man’s expression changed slightly when he overheard the conversations in the surroundings. When he saw the identity token on Duan Ling Tian’s waist as well, he hurriedly pulled the reins again.
A Si!” The old woman exclaimed angrily, “What’s wrong with you? Do you feel it’s too easy to drive the Young Miss around and you prefer to be assigned a tougher job?”
It seemed like Formation did not prevent the middle-aged man’s voice from entering the carriage.
“Elder Qing Ze, that’s not it,” A Si, the middle-aged man said anxiously before he hastily explained, “The young man blocking our path is a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect. I can’t just rum him down.”
“A core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect?”
With that, a figure alighted from the carriage. It was an old lady with a full head of white hair who was dressed in a long plain robe. Her face was filled with wrinkles, and she had a valiant air about her. One could tell she must have been a beauty when she was young.
The old lady looked at Duan Ling Tian before she shifted her gaze to his identity token. She raised her hand, and an invincible force brought the identity token to her hand.
“Duan Ling Tian?” The old lady seemed surprised after confirming the authenticity of the identity token and saw the name on the token. She looked at him and said, “You’re the prodigy who joined the Hidden Fog Sect recently and ranked first in the Heavenly Stairs Battle for inner disciples who are gods?
You’ve become a core disciple? From what I know, the last god who became a core disciple was Xue Hai Chuan, and that happened 10,000 years ago. I didn’t expect someone like him would appear again after 10,000 years!”
The old lady had clearly heard a lot about Duan Ling Tian but was unaware that he had become a core disciple. Since he had just recently become a core disciple, the news did not spread far yet.
The onlookers were shocked by the old lady’s words.
“He’s Duan Ling Tian? The prodigy who recently joined the Hidden Fog Sect?!”
“He used to be a student of Skywind City’s Hidden Fog Academy. He obtained the recommendation from Murong Sui Feng, the dean of the academy who’s also the Vice Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect! Then, he became famous after ranking first in the Heavenly Stairs Battle and killed Qi Yu, one of the strongest
gods among the inner disciples. People have been wondering if he had passed the core disciples’ test.”
“Well, clearly, he passed the test! He’s the second god to have become a core disciple in the history of the Hidden Fog Sect!”
“This means Duan Ling Tian has a high chance of becoming like Elder Xue Hai Chuan!”
Everyone revealed respectful expressions on their faces when Xue Hai Chuan was mentioned. After all, he was a famous elder in an emperor-rank force. How could the people in a city like King Descending City not be in awe of such a person?
At this time, the old man solemnly asked, “Duan Ling Tian, why are you blocking our Linghu clan’s carriage? Even if youre a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect, there’s no denying your action is inappropriate. Moreover, you tried to breach our carriage’s Noise Canceling Formation using your Divine Energy.
‘What’s the meaning of this?”
“Linghu clan?”
The onlookers broke into an uproar again upon hearing the old woman’s words.
“They’re from the Linghu clan!”
The Linghu clan was a famous clan located on the outskirts of King Descending City and was comparable to the Hidden Fog Sect and the 10,000 Devils Sect.
The Hidden Fog Sect was located east of King Descending City; the 10,000 Devils Sect was located south of the city; the emperor-rank force that controlled Eastern Ridge Mansion was located west of the city; the Linghu clan was located north of the city.
The Linghu clan, the Hidden Fog Sect, and the 10,000 Devils Sect were the three major lord-rank forces located near King Descending City. As one of the three major lord-rank forces, the Linghu clan’s strength and wealth were on par with the Hidden Fog Sect.
“The middle-aged man addressed her as Elder Qing Ze… Could it be that she’s Linghu Qing Ze? The famous ‘Black Widow’ that shook the Eastern Ridge Mansion?”
“Heavens! The Black Widow? She seems to be an advanced King of Gods. In fact, many advanced Kings of Gods had died in her hands… I didn’t expect her to still be alive. After disappearing for so long, I thought she’d died!”
“Based on her past strength, I think she should be a Lord of Gods by now!”
Linghu Qing Ze, the Black Widow, was famous in the Eastern Ridge Mansion 10,000 years ago. Even the emperor-rank forces knew her although she was only from a lord-rank clan. In fact, she was famous not because of her strength. After all, she was only an advanced King of Gods, and there were plenty of
those around in lord-rank forces, let alone emperor-rank forces.
She gained notoriety because she killed her childhood sweetheart. Rumor had it that her lover betrayed her and abandoned her for another woman. She retaliated by killing all the women who had any connection with her lover. In the end, she killed about 1,000 people, of which at least a dozen were advanced
Kings of Gods.
An elder from an emperor-rank force thought that the matter had gone on long enough so he stepped forward to stop the massacre and put an end to the matter.
After that, a Lord of God from the Linghu clan apologized to the elder and promised to punish Linghu Qing Ze. After that, Linghu Qingze vanished and nothing was heard from her ever again.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian ignored the hushed conversations in his surroundings. He was only focused on finding out if the woman inside the carriage was his wife Ke’er. He called out, “Senior.”
