“His name’s Chen He Lian.”
After recognizing each other, Chu Han had introduced the red-clad young man to Du Qian Jun.
“Alright, I’l speak to your senior granduncle immediately. He’s rather upset and anxious.”
Du Zhan did not waste time and sent a message to his senior brother in the Flying Dragon Sect. His senior brother used to be a renowned prodigy of the 10,000 Devils Sect before joining the Flying Dragon Sect. Although his talent was not considered outstanding after joining the Flying Dragon Sect, he
still managed to become an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect. It was not easy to become an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, after all. One had to be a Lord of Gods at least to become an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect.
Du Zhan’s senior brother’s name was Kuang Tian Zheng. Similar to Du Zhan, he was also an old man with a youthful appearance. However, unlike the tall and burly Du Zhan, Kuang Tian Zheng had a medium build and was more reserved in nature.
“Chen He Lian?” Kuang Tian Zheng was taken aback after listening to Du Zhan’s message that contained valuable information. Previously, he could not find any clues at all even after expending a lot of effort to investigate the matter.
“Senior brother, my grandson is quite mischievous, but he knows his limits. I believe what he said,” Du Zhan said. After all, Kuang Tian Zheng had never met Du Qian Jun, and he would also sometimes complain about how mischievous and unreliable Du Qian Jun was to Kuang Tian Zheng. Hence, he was
worried Kuang Tian Zheng would doubt Du Qian Jun’s words.
“Tknow you’ve always been meticulous in everything you do, and I trust your judgment,” Kuang Tian Zheng said with a smile. However, his smile vanished as he continued to say, “Indeed, after my investigation, I found that Chu Han had left with Chen He Lian. However… Chen He Lian is dead as well.
Moreover, based on the timeline, he died earlier than Chu Han. That’s all I managed to find out. There are no clues at all. The information you provided me matches some of the information I found.”
Du Zhan’s expression changed upon hearing Kuang Tian Zheng’s reply.
Du Qian Jun noticed the change in his grandfather’s expression so he asked, “What’s going on, grandfather?”
Du Zhan glanced at Du Qian Jun and said, “Your senior granduncle just confirmed that Chen He Lian is dead as well. In fact, he died before Chu Han died.”
Du Qian Jun was shocked and confused. He did not expect Chen He Lian to die. After all, he had been convinced that Chen He Lian had killed Chu Han after Chu Han and Chen He Lian killed those two from the Hidden Fog Sect. To him, Chen He Lian must have betrayed Chu Han out of greed. However,
since Chen He Lian was dead, what happened exactly?
“Could it be that after they killed the two disciples from the Hidden Fog Sect, they were killed by the obstacles in the Di…” Du Qian Jun trailed off immediately with a horrified expression on his face. He had almost broken the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath.
Du Zhan raised an eyebrow as he looked at Du Qian Jun and asked, “What’s the name of the advanced god from the Hidden Fog Sect?”
Du Zhan could not help but feel that the advanced god was the monstrously talented advanced god who had appeared in the Hidden Fog Sect recently. That disciple even became the first advanced god to become a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years.
“Idon’t know his name.” Du Qian Jun shook his head. “I only heard Wu Yi Shan addressing him as Junior Brother Duan. Hence, his surname must be Duan. Wu Yi Shan didn’t mention his name at all. Even then, the name might be fake. Grandfather, you think that advanced god joined forces with Wu Yi
Shan to kill Chu Han and Chen He Lian? That’s impossible? He’s just an advanced god whom I can kill with just one move!”
“The first advanced god to become a core disciple in the Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years is called Duan Ling Tian,” Du Zhan said in a low voice, “It’s said that Duan Ling Tian has comprehended two triple Fused Profundities from the law of space. He has even comprehended the rudimentary Sword Dao.
With such capabilities, he’s much stronger than an ordinary rudimentary King of Gods.”
Du Qian Jun frowned. “You’re saying Wu Yi Shan’s companion is Duan Ling Tian? The first advanced god to become a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years?”
“We can’t dismiss the possibility. Moreover, they share the surname, and coincidentally, come from the Hidden Fog Sect.”
Du Qian Jum’s eyes flashed coldly, “Even if he’s as strong as you said, his strength is on par with mine at most. Even if he joined forces with Wu Yi Shan, they would only be able to fight to a draw with Chu Han and Chen He Lian.”
“You missed a point,” Du Zhan said, “Weren’t you dismissive of him when you discovered he’s an advanced god? Chu Han and Chen He Lian were likely dismissive of him as well. It’s likely that they underestimated him and did not use their full strength when they attacked him. With that, it’d be easy for
him to catch them off guard and kill them!”
Du Zhan had lived a long time. He naturally knew that there were many factors, apart from strength, that determined the outcome of a battle. There was no lack of people who underestimated their opponents and were killed in a moment of carelessness even if they were stronger than their opponents. He
had seen such things many times in his life.
Du Qian Jun fell silent upon hearing his grandfather’s words. After giving it a second thought, he knew if he were in Chu Han’s shoes, he would have also been careless and underestimated his opponent who was just an advanced god. At that time, if that purple-clad young man who had been pretending to
be weak seized the chance and attacked while he was careless, he would surely die as well.
Du Qian Jun was drenched in cold sweat when he thought about this. He muttered to himself, “No wonder Wu Yi Shan brought an advanced god with him instead of a rudimentary King of Gods. He deliberately misled us! How despicable!”
Du Zhan shook his head. “That’s not despicable. It’s just a strategy. If I were Wu Yi Shan, I would’ve done the same as well. An advanced god with the strength of a rudimentary King of Gods has much more uses compared to a true rudimentary King of Gods.”
“Grandfather, so you’re sure that those two from the Hidden Fog Sect killed Chu Han and Chen He Lian?” Du Qian Jun asked again.
“There’s a possibility that’s the case,” Du Zhan said with a nod, “However, nothing’s confirmed. Since there’s no witness, it’s difficult to say with certainty that they killed Chu Han and Chen He Lian. After all, they were all in some secret place. There are likely to be Killing Formations in places like that.”
“Grandfather, are you going tell senior granduncle about this as well? Chu Han was his youngest and most beloved disciple. He won’t let this matter go,” Du Qian Jun asked.
“Te already told your senior granduncle about this,” Du Zhan said with a nod, “He’ll come here before going to the Hidden Fog Sect to see if those two disciples died as well. If they died, at least, Chu Han has company. If they’re alive, he’s going to confirm if they truly killed Chu Han. If they did, they’ll
definitely suffer the consequences.”
“Senior granduncle is coming?” Du Qian Jun’s eyes widened in shock. After all, he did not expect Kuang Tian Zhen would return to the 10,000 Devils Sect because of his disciple, Chu Han. Kuang Tian Zheng had not returned to the 10,000 Devils Sect for a long time now. From the time Du Qian Ju was born
until now, Kuang Tian Zheng had never visited the 10,000 Devils Sect. Usually, his grandfather would go to the Flying Dragon Sect to meet Kuang Tian Zheng instead.
Du Zhan nodded. “He wants my help to investigate the identities of the two disciples from the Hidden Fog Sect first. Although that advanced god shares the same surname as Duan Ling Tian, it doesn’t mean anything. As for Wu Yi Shan, that’s clearly not his real name as well. Come with me, I’ll ask the sect
leader to help us investigate this matter as well.”
Du Zhan brought Du Qian Jun with him and left his cultivation ground in search of the Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect. Since the 10,000 Devils Sect had spies in the Hidden Fog Sect, they would be able to verify the identities of the two disciples from the Hidden Fog Sect through the spies..
