Chapter 3833 - Duan Ling Tian, an Advanced King of Gods

As soon as the middle-aged man with a hooked nose finished speaking, silence descended.

After a while, Yang Qian Ye smiled wryly and said, “Junior Uncle Liu, I’ve heard about Xue Hai Shan’s release from the Hidden Fog Sect’s Heavenly Stairs. I know you’re eager to seek revenge, but those elders who came with me are only here to recruit Duan Ling Tian. If your target is another person, they might do it for my sake, but if it’s Xue Hai Chuan…” He paused for a moment before he continued to say, “Before we came here, the sect had done research on Duan Ling Tian. Hence, the elders who came with me know that Duan Ling Tian has a good relationship with Xue Hai Chuan. There were even talks about asking Xue Hai Chuan to persuade Duan Ling Tian to join us. With this, it’s very unlikely they’ll kill Xue Hai Chuan.”

Yang Qian Ye shook his head repeatedly as he spoke.

Liu Yin, the middle-aged man with a hooked nose, was one of the two White Dragon Elders in the 10,000 Devils faction in the Flying Dragon Sect. When he heard Yang Qian Ye’s words, his expression turned gloomy immediately.

Liu Yin was once the Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect. In the past, Xue Hai Shan, Xue Hai Chun’s older brother, had killed his only son. At that time, he wanted to kill Xue Hai Shan to avenge his son, but the Hidden Fog Sect prevented him from doing so and imprisoned Xue Hai Shan in the Heavenly Stairs for 10,000 years instead. He was so enraged at that time, that he defected to the 10,000 Devils Sect, an enemy of the Hidden Fog Sect. As soon as he joined the 10,000 Devils Sect, he became a Supreme Elder of the 10,000 Devils Sect. Later, he joined the Flying Dragon Sect and made a breakthrough in the sect, becoming an intermediate Lord of Gods. With that, he slowly rose from an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect to a White Dragon Elder of the Flying Dragon Sect.

Needless to say, Liu Yin also disliked Xue Hai Chuan, who was also a White Dragon Elder. His junior in the Hidden Fog Sect had become his peer in the Flying Dragon Sect. Not only that, but he was not sure he could beat Xue Hai Chuan as well. Nonetheless, he did not have any direct conflicts with Xue Hai Chuan. After all, it was not Xue Hai Chuan who killed his son. However, after Xue Hai Shan was released and brought back to the Flying Dragon Sect, he grew hostile toward Xue Hai Chuan. To kill Xue Hai Shan, he knew he needed to kill Xue Hai Chuan as well. Otherwise, he would not be able to succeed in seeking revenge for his son. He knew this because he had been searching for a chance to do so since Xue Hai Shan joined the Flying Dragon Sect. His attempts only ended in failure since Xue Hai Chuan was always with his brother, Xue Hai Shan. Now that Yang Qian Ye was here, he naturally hoped that Yang Qian Ye could help him.

Liu Yin was not discouraged after listening to Yang Qian Ye’s reply. Instead, he asked, “What if Duan Ling Tian declines the invitation? He has already rejected two other top emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. He’ll likely refuse this invitation as well. If he refuses, doesn’t that mean the elders of your sect will kill Xue Hai Chuan if you ask them to?”

Liu Yin looked at Yang Qian Ye with a burning gaze.

Yang Qian Ye shook his head again. “I’m afraid that’s impossible. Before we came here, we’ve been specially warned that even if we fail to recruit Duan Ling Tian, we shouldn’t get on his bad side. Due to the impending Imperial War, it’s only normal for Duan Ling Tian to refuse to join any other forces. Our sect plans to recruit him again when the Imperial War is over if he refuses us this time.”

These words completely shattered Liu Yin’s hope.

At this time, the other White Dragon Elder said, “Liu Yin, I know you want to avenge your son. I know you can only kill Xue Hai Shan if Xue Hai Chun is dead. However, things aren’t hopeless. Xue Hai Chun will have to participate in the war as well. At that time, can he bring his brother to the Imperial War Realm? Even if he can, can he bring his brother to the Lord Battlefield? Apart from rudimentary and intermediate Lords of Gods, no one can enter the Lord Battlefield. At that time, won’t you have a chance to kill Xue Hai Shan?”

Liu Yin’s eyes lit up as soon as he heard these words. “You’re right! I didn’t think about this as well. I was too muddle-headed. That’s right! The Imperial War is a good chance for me to kill Xue Hai Shan!”

At this moment, Kuang Tian Zheng asked, “After the Imperial War starts, is it possible for us to kill Duan Ling Tian in the King Battlefield?”

Everyone fell silent immediately. After all, they were all aware of Duan Ling Tian’s strength. Duan Ling Tian would likely be able to defeat all his opponents on the King Battlefield. There were very few people from the Tai Yi Sect who were a match for Duan Ling Tian. Even if they joined forces, Duan Ling Tian could still escape from them. This meant that it was absolutely impossible for them to kill Duan Ling Tian in the Imperial War Realm’s King Battlefield.

“That’s impossible,” Liu Yin said as he shook his head, “Duan Ling Tian isn’t an ordinary King of Gods. I don’t think anyone below the level of a Lord of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect is a match for him. Even if multiple Kings of Gods join forces to deal with him, with his strength and comprehension of the law of space, it won’t be difficult for him to escape. As for the Tai Yi Sect, I’ve not heard of anyone who might be a match for him. The dangers on the King Battlefield pose no threat to him at all.”

Liu Yin analyzed the matter very clearly. Prior to this, he had no grudges against Duan Ling Tian. However, when he found out the elders from Yang Qian Ye’s sect would not kill Xue Hai Chuan because of Duan Ling Tian, he naturally wished for Duan Ling Tian to die as well. With Duan Ling Tian out of the way, the advanced Lords of Gods would have no problem killing Xue Hai Chuan.

“Indeed,” the other White Dragon said with a nod, “If you want to kill Duan Ling Tian, you’ll have to do it outside the Imperial War Realm. When he’s in the Imperial War Realm, he’ll only be on the King Battlefield and the Flying Dragon Sect’s base, making it almost impossible to kill him. You’ll need a Lord of Gods, at least, to kill Duan Ling Tian. However, a Lord of Gods can’t enter the King Battlefield, and it’d be impossible for Duan Ling Tian to enter the Lord Battlefield.”

…

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was unaware that the people from the 10,000 Devils Sect, including Yang Qian Ye, were discussing ways to kill him due to his enmity with Kuang Tian Zheng.

In the past, Kuang Tian Zheng had tried to attack him when he was in the Linghu clan’s estate. Fortunately, he had the protection of the Linghu clan’s Guarding Formation.

Due to Kuang Tian Zheng, the members of the 10,000 Devils faction in the Flying Dragon Sect were naturally hostile toward Duan Ling Tian as well. There was no possibility of reconciliation unless Kuang Tian Zheng died.

After all, Kuang Tian Zheng might just be an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, but his second disciple, Zhong Can, was the son-in-law of Xue Ming Zhi, a Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect.

…

Half a month later.

In a courtyard in the inner disciples’ cultivation ground.

“My cultivation has finally stabilized!”

Duan Ling Tian, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes. A satisfied smile could be seen on his face at this time.

Some time ago, he had successfully broken through and became an advanced King of Gods after consuming a large number of king-grade and lord-grade Limit Divine Pills. However, due to the divine pills, his cultivation base was not that stable. Hence, he had to spend some time stabilizing it.

After taking a deep breath, Duan Ling Tian got off the bed and deactivated the Formation that protected his room. The Formation blocked various kinds of communications from reaching him.

A moment after he deactivated the Formation, he received a message from Xue Hai Chuan.

“Litte Tian, Yang Qian Ye brought people to the sect half a month ago with the intention to recruit you.”

Previously, Xue Hai Chuan had set up a small Formation in Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard as well. The Formation would alert him when Duan Ling Tian deactivated his Formation.

Due to Xue Hai Chua and Duan Ling Tian’s good relationship, the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect let Xue Hai Chuan deal with the matter of Duan Ling Tian’s recruitment.

“Yang Qian Ye?”

After speaking to Xue Hai Chuan for a moment, Xue Hai Chuan finally arranged for Duan Ling Tian to meet Yang Qian Ye, who had been famous even when Duan Ling Tian was still in the Hidden Fog Sect. Not only was Yang Qian Ye the strongest among the younger generation in the 10,000 Devils Sect, but Yang Qian Ye was also an unprecedented genius in the 10,000 Devils Sect.

…

When Yang Qian Ye met Duan Ling Tian, a smile appeared on his usually expressionless face. He said politely, “Young Master Duan. I’m sure you’ve already heard about the purpose of my visit, but I’d like to formally ask you if you’d join our sect?”

The few elders with Yang Qian Ye looked at Duan Ling Tian in unison, waiting for his reply. They were the advanced Lords of Gods who had accompanied Yang Qian Ye to the Flying Dragon Sect to recruit Duan Ling Tian. They were sent here to show the sect’s sincerity and also to show the importance the sect placed on Duan Ling Tian.

“I’m afraid I’d have to decline, Young Sect Leader Yang,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qian Ye’s expression changed immediately. “Duan Ling Tian, don’t address me like that!”

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you the son of the Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Yang Qian Ye, who looked frightened at this moment. It seemed like Yang Qian Ye had overthought his form of address for some reason.
