Chapter 3745 Duan Ling Tian’s Warning

“Junior Brother Duan?” Wu Feng was surprised when he first received Duan Ling Tian’s message. His expression changed drastically when he learned that Kuang Tian Zheng, an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, had gone to look for Duan Ling Tian at the Linghu clan.

“Since he came for me, I’m afraid he might have sent people to look for you as well. I’m guessing they found out about me because you used your surname when addressing me in the Divine Sanctuary. I’ll be okay since I have the Linghu clan’s protection, but I’m worried the Hidden Fog Sect might not be able to protect

you.”

Before joining the Linghu clan, Duan Ling Tian had learned a lot about the clan from Wu Feng. He also learned that the Hidden Fog Sect’s Sect Guarding Formation was much weaker than that of the Linghu clan. The Sect Guarding Formation in the Hidden Fog Sect could not even stop Linghu Heng and Linghu Huan if they had chosen to force their way in, let alone Kuang Tian Zheng.

Moreover, the Hidden Fog Sect might not have any intention of protecting Wu Feng, who was just a mere inner disciple, at all. After all, they were unlikely to risk offending someone like Kuang Tian Zheng for an inner disciple. Nonetheless, even if they intended to protect Wu Feng, they were not capable of doing so.

Duan Ling Tian said, “Senior Brother Wu, in my opinion, you should leave the Hidden Fog Sect. Why don’t you come to the Linghu clan? I’ll recommend you to the clan leader.”

Duan Ling Tian was very grateful to Wu Feng. If Wu Feng did not bring him to the Divine Sanctuary left behind by Qin Wu, an Emperor of God, he would have missed out on a lot of

things.

“Junior Brother Duan, I appreciate your kindness,” Wu Feng replied, “I’ll leave the Hidden Fog Sectimmediately. However, I won’t be joining the Linghu clan since I have a clan behind me. I’m going back to my clan to help them relocate to a safer place. Junior Brother Duan, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me if you need my help. I’ll try my best to help you.” After that, Wu Feng no longer responded to Duan Ling Tian’s messages. It was obvious Wu Feng had begun to act.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian suddenly received a message from Linghu Ren Jie.

“Duan Ling Tian, Kuang Tian Zheng is adamant about meeting you. I brought him into the estate, and we’re in the main hall now. Please hurry over. Don’t worry. We have the clan’s Guarding Formation. Even if he attacks you, he won’t be able to kill you. All you need to do is just show up and deal with him perfunctorily,” Linghu Ren Jie said.

“Alright,” Duan Ling Tian responded before leaving his room and making his way to the main hall.

When Duan Ling Tian arrived at the main hall, he saw Linghu Ren Jie and an old man.

The old man had a medium build and looked young for his age.

Despite the old man’s average appearance, Duan Ling Tian knew the old man’s cultivation base was anything but average.

“Clan Leader,” Duan Ling Tian called out as he walked toward the duo.

“Duan Ling Tian.” Linghu Ren Jie smiled. Then, he stood between Duan Ling Tian and Kuang Tian Zheng with his back facing the latter before he said, “This is Elder Kuang Tian Zheng from the Flying Dragon Sect. He’s originally from the 10,000 Devils Sect and is now a prominent figure in the Flying Dragon Sect.”

After saying that, Linghu Ren Jie turned to Kuang Tian Zheng and said, “Elder Tian Zheng, I’m sure you already know about Duan Ling Tian.”

Duan Ling Tian greeted Kuang Tian Zheng with a nod.

Kuang Tian Zheng did not waste time. He looked at Duan Ling Tian pointedly and directly said, “Duan Ling Tian, my junior brother, Du Zhan, said that his grandson, Du Qian Jun, told him that you and the Hidden Fog Sect’s Wu Feng were the last ones to see my disciple, Chu Han, alive.”

Duan Ling Tian feigned a confused expression and said, “What do you mean, Elder Tian Zheng? I’ve never heard of the name Chu Han before. Did you mistake me for another person?”

Kuang Tian Zheng frowned. If he did not know better, he would have been fooled by Duan Ling Tian. It would be impossible to get any clues from Duan Ling Tian’s expressions. Hence, he no longer minced words and asked, “Duan Ling Tian, you killed my disciple, right?” Linghu Ren Jie’s expression changed immediately. He waved his hand, and a translucent barrier appeared, separating Duan Ling Tian and Linghu Ren Jie from Kuang Tian Zheng. This was the Linghu clan’s Guarding Formation.

Duan Ling Tian felt completely at ease as soon as he saw the barrier. After all, he knew how powerful it was after listening to Wu Feng. It was capable of killing rudimentary Lords of Gods. Even intermediate Lords of Gods would not be able to escape unscathed.

Kuang Tian Zheng looked at Linghu Ren Jie pointedly and said, “Clan Leader Linghu, you’re being too cautious.” Despite the calm expression on his face, Kuang Tian Zheng was seething with anger inwardly. He felt helpless as well. He was angered by Linghu Ren Jie’s cautiousness, and he felt helpless because of the translucent barrier. In fact, as soon as he asked that question, he was going to make a move to kill Duan Ling Tian. He did not expect Linghu Ren Jie to react so quickly. After he extended his Divine Consciousness to probe the barrier, he discovered there was no way he could breach it. For this reason, he no longer made a move. “Elder Tian Zheng, you told me that you only wanted to question Duan Ling Tian,” Linghu Ren Jie said. He did not bother to hide his displeasure at all when he spoke. He continued to say in a low voice, “I only summoned Duan Ling Tian here because I believe in your sincerity.”

“I apologize. It’s inevitable that I’d act rashly when I think about my disciple who died in vain,” Kuang Tian Zheng said insincerely. He calmed his surging Divine Energy before he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Duan Ling Tian, I really hope you have nothing to do with my disciple’s death. Otherwise, neither the Linghu clan nor the Hidden Fog Sect would be able to protect you.”

After saying that, Kuang Tian Zheng turned around and walked out of the main hall. His Divine Energy surged as he said threateningly before stepping out of the main hall, “I heard you plan to participate in the Flying Dragon Sect’s Latent Dragon Grand Competition. I’ll see you again at that time.” Duan Ling Tian remained calm from the beginning until the end, unflustered by Kuang Tian Zheng’s threats. In his eyes, Kuang Tian Zheng was only a small obstacle in his path. If he could not even overcome such a small obstacle, how was he going to rescue his wife, Keler, 300 years later? Even if Linghu Chu Yin was Ke’er and he was reunited with her, he still needed to prove himself to the Xia clan in the Divine Offering Land. Ke’er might not care about it, but as a man, he was determined to prove himself.

“Duan Ling Tian,” Linghu Ren Jie said with a wry smile, “Not only did you offend Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei from the Hidden Fog Sect, but you’ve also offended Elder Tian Zheng. All three of them can’t wait to kill you. Before you head to the Flying Dragon Sect, you better be cautious. It’s best if you don’t leave the Linghu clan’s estate at all.”

A grim expression appeared on Linghu Ren Jie’s face after he finished speaking.

“I understand.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He was not so foolish as to leave the Linghu clan’s estate. He knew the two supreme elders of the Hidden Fog Sect would not let things go easily and were likely lying in wait in Linghu City, waiting for an opportunity to strike. However, they likely would not rashly kill him until they could confirm he did not have an extraordinary background.

The two supreme elders of the Hidden Fog Sect might be wary of his background, but Kuang Tian Zheng was clearly unconcerned. Based on what Duan Ling Tian saw earlier, Kuang Tian Zheng would have killed him directly given the chance.

‘I didn’t expect to offend such a person before I even joined the Flying Dragon Sect…’ Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly. ‘Nonetheless, even if there were no Kuang Tian Zheng, those from the Hidden Fog faction in the Flying Dragon would still see me as their enemy.’

“What?! Wu Feng escaped?!” Shortly after Kuang Tian Zheng arrived at the 10,000 Devils Sect, he received a message from Du Zhan. He was furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Damn it! Duan Ling Tian must have warned him!”
