Two days later, Duan Ling Tian handed the Memory Jade Talisman that contained the story of the Eastern Emperor to Linghu Yun. During the entire time, he had been waiting for news from Linghu Ren Jie, hoping that
Linghu Chu Yin would return to the Linghu clan’s estate soon.
Linghu Yun’s eyes lit up when he received the Memory Jade Talisman from Duan Ling Tian. Then, when he saw how distracted Duan Ling Tian was, he said, “Duan Ling Tian, don’t worry. Although you’re not able to
meet Cousin Chu Yin yet, at least you know her safety is guaranteed. With my aunt’s strength, my cousin is definitely very safe.” Then, a hint of excitement could be heard in his voice as he continued to say, “Grandpa
Xuan told me yesterday that when my aunt first returned, she sparred with Supreme Elder Heng and Supreme Elder Huan and defeated both of them. You should know the two supreme elders are as strong, if not
stronger, as the four Supreme Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect. Her strength has improved tremendously during the time she was away. Now, she’s the strongest person in our Linghu clan!”
Duan Ling Tian felt much more at ease after listening to Linghu Yun’s words. If Linghu Chu Yin was Ke’er, at the very least, he did not have to worry about her safety due to her mother’s strength. Hence, he said with a
smile, “Fourth Young Master, thank you for your words of comfort.”
“Duan Ling Tian, after you join our Linghu clan, I hope I’ll be able to hear more stories from you! It won’t take me long to finish listening to the story of the Eastern Emperor,” Linghu Yun said with a smile.
“Okay.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Then, he bade farewell to Linghu Yun and returned to his room. He had been staying in Linghu Yun’s courtyard over the past few days.
The next day.
“Duan Ling Tian, the two supreme elders are waiting for you at the entrance of the estate.”
Upon hearing Linghu Yun’s words, Duan Ling Tian knew it was time for him to return to the Hidden Fog Sect. He finally felt confident about returning to the Hidden Fog Sect.
Although Duan Ling Tian could seek protection from Supreme Elder Yun and Supreme Elder Wu by becoming their nominal disciple, his safety was still not guaranteed. Even if Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder
Lei could not openly act against him, nothing could stop them from making a move in the dark. At that time, it would be too late for Supreme Elder Yun or Supreme Elder Wu to do anything. If he died, his death might
not even be avenged. After all, he would only be their nominal disciple. Moreover, since he was dead, for the good of the Hidden Fog Sect, Supreme Elder Yun and Supreme Elder Wu definitely would not look for
trouble with Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei. Even if they wanted to avenge him, the other high-ranking officials from the Hidden Fog Sect would definitely stop him for the good of the sect.
The world had always been this cruel, after all.
This was why Duan Ling Tian was not in a rush to return to the Hidden Fog Sect after becoming a rudimentary King of Gods. Nonetheless, he had been determined to return to the sect even if it was risky. However,
with the help of the Linghu clan, there was no longer any risk in him returning to the Hidden Fog Sect.
When Duan Ling Tian emerged from his room, he saw Linghu Ren Jie waiting outside of the room to escort him out of the clan’s estate.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Linghu clan’s estate, a chubby red-clad old man, who was hovering in the sky, asked, “You’re Duan Ling Tian?”
The chubby old man had a potbelly, and his face looked kind and amiable. When he smiled, one could hardly see his eyes.
“Yes, senior,” Duan Ling Tian replied before he instinctively turned to look at the other old man standing next to the chubby red-clad old man.
The other old man’s height was similar to the chubby red-clad old man, but he was thin. Despite the different sizes of their bodies, their facial features were similar. However, it was still difficult to tell they were twins
due to the size difference.
Linghu Ren Jie gestured at the chubby old man first as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, this is Supreme Elder Huan.” Then, he gestured to the thin old man and said, “And this is Supreme Elder Heng. He’s Supreme Elder
Huan’s elder twin brother.”
The thin old man, Linghu Heng, nodded at Duan Ling Tian. He was clearly more reserved than his twin brother, Linghu Huan.
Linghu Renjie continued to say, “Junior granduncles, this is…”
Linghu Huan waved his hand and interjected, “Alright, there’s no need to introduce him since you’ve told us about him three days ago. You can return now. Don’t worry. No one can harm him with us around.”
The chubby Linghu Huan looked very cheerful and kind compared to the reserved Linghu Heng.
“I’m sorry to have to trouble you for this matter, junior granduncles. I’ll leave this matter to you,” Linghu Ren Jie said.
Since Linghu Heng and Linghu Huan were several generations older than Linghu Ren Jie, Linghu Renjie had to address them as junior granduncles. The duo were the pillars of the Linghu clan and was highly respected
in the clan. Their status in the clan even surpassed that of Linghu Ren Jie who was the clan leader.
“Alright, let’s go,” Linghu Huan said as he waved his hand.
Then, a huge flying ship suddenly appeared out of thin air.
“Boy, why are you daydreaming? Let’s go.”
Before Duan Ling Tian could react, Linghu Huan placed his hand on Duan Ling Tian’s shoulder and teleported away.
When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he was already standing in the flying ship.
Following that, Linghu Heng appeared on the flying ship as well.
Swoosh!
In just a blink of an eye, the flying ship had risen into the air and shot out in the sky.
The speed of the flying ship was so fast that the surroundings were a blur.
After a moment, Duan Ling Tian looked at Linghu Huan and curiously asked, “Supreme Elder Huan, is this a lord-grade flying ship?”
“You can tell based on how blurry the surroundings are?” Linghu Huan said with a smile that made his eyes look even smaller on his chubby face, “You’re right. We’re now traveling at the speed of an intermediate Lord
of Gods. We should arrive at the Hidden Fog Sect within half a day.”
“Half a day?” Duan Ling Tian was shocked. The distance between the Linghu clan and the Hidden Fog Sect was almost twice the distance between the Hidden Fog Sect and the Divine Sanctuary left behind by Qin Wu, a
rudimentary Emperor of Gods. However, with a lord-grade flying ship traveling at the speed of an intermediate Lord of Gods, they would be able to arrive at the Hidden Fog Sect within half a day. He shook his head
inwardly when he thought about how many divine rocks were needed to fuel the flying ship. To travel for half a day at this speed, the flying ship would need at least a few thousand divine rocks. Although he possessed a
lot of divine rocks, he was still shocked by the number of divine rocks needed for this trip. Even with his divine rocks, he would not be able to fuel the flying ship for 100 days.
Duan Ling Tian looked around him curiously. Although the lord-grade flying ship was superior to Du Qian Jun’s king-grade flying ship, the lord-grade flying ship was not as luxurious as Du Qian Jun’s king-grade flying
ship. Only the speed of the lord-grade flying ship was superior to Du Qian Jun’s king-grade flying ship. There were only simple tables and chairs in the lord-grade flying ship. The tables and chairs remained steady
despite the movements of the flying ship. Unless the flying ship was damaged, they would remain unmoved.
At this time, the reserved Linghu Heng had already sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian could not tell if Linghu Heng was resting or cultivating.
On the contrary, Linghu Huan’s eyes were bright as he looked at the surroundings. Due to his cultivation base, he could easily see surroundings that were only a blur to Duan Ling Tian.
After a while, Duan Ling Tian asked, “Supreme Elder Huan, how are you and Supreme Elder Heng going to enter the Hidden Fog Sect later?”
Linghu Huan replied, “We’ll just hide in your Little World.”
Duan Ling Tian’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing these words. Then, he said, “That’s not a bad idea, but what if I die before I can release you from my Little World?”
Linghu Huan looked rather speechless. “Your reaction can’t be that slow, right? Boy, if you’re not confident, then we’ll just openly enter the Hidden Fog Sect.”
Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief inwardly. He was hoping Linghu Huan would say these words. After all, his Little World contained too many of his secrets. Hence, it was impossible for him to let Linghu Huan and Linghu
Heng enter his Little World. .
