Chapter 3877 - Xue Hai Chuan’s Warning

Duan Ling Tian smiled sheepishly as he said, “I was simply talking. I know I was just lucky.”

If Duan Ling Tian encountered an Underworld Elder of the Tai Yi Sect, he would have no problem escaping if he used everything in his arsenal. However, it would be difficult and almost nigh impossible for him to kill an Underworld Elder with his current strength. Moreover, an Underworld Elder could easily escape from him. If the Underground Elder exposed his true strength, his life would be at risk.

If that happened, Duan Ling Tian would deny everything. After all, since it took place in the Imperial War Realm, the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath would be ineffective. With this, no one would be able to verify the truth. Even if he swore on the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath and lied about what happened in the Imperial Realm, there would be no consequences. This was because the supreme powerhouse’s consciousness did automatically extend to shroud the Imperial War Realm.

In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, supreme powerhouses would not care about the Imperial Wars. They would attach more importance to the Supreme Wars and Powerhouse Wars so it was more likely that they would shroud the Supreme War Realms and Powerhouse War Realms with their consciousnesses. Naturally, this was just his opinion. Although the chances were low, there was still a very slight chance that a supreme powerhouse might observe what was going on in the Imperial War Realm.

In any case, until he was strong enough, Duan Ling Tian did not have any wish about encountering Underworld Elders on the Lord Battlefield. He did not wish to expose all his trump cards.

Duan Ling Tian had previously entered the Lord Battlefield because he wanted to test his strength after he became a rudimentary Lord of Gods. Moreover, he also wanted to obtain war points so he could exchange for a few items he needed first. Although he obtained many valuable things in Qin Wu’s Divine Sanctuary, only a small number of them were useful to him now with his current cultivation base. Most of the items were only suitable for use after he became an intermediate or an advanced Lord of Gods.

After leaving the Lord Battlefield, Duan Ling Tian finally realized how bad things would have been if he had run into an Underworld Elder on the Lord Battlefield. He had to admit he was rather reckless and careless this time.

However, Duan Ling Tian also wondered if he would be able to kill an Underworld Elder from the Tai Yi Sect if he used the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword along with his Sword Dao and Mastery Dao. Would his chances be higher if he joined forces with Huang’er, the sword’s artifact spirit? Since Huang’er’s strength would improve in accordance with his strength, she should be as strong as him now. Nonetheless, these were just thoughts in his mind. He had no intention of taking the risk and finding out for now.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘I was lucky this time. I shouldn’t be so reckless in the future. Even if I can deny it if I were exposed, it’d be best to avoid trouble completely. It’s the same as how I conceal the fact that I’m able to refine lord-grade Limit Divine Pills…’

Meanwhile, Xue Hai Chuan, who was unaware of the thoughts in Duan Ling Tian’s mind, fell deep into his thoughts when he heard about Duan Ling Tian’s lack of war points. After a moment, he said, “I previously obtained about 8,000 war points, and I only used a few hundred war points so far. I have more than 7,000 war points left. If you need them urgently, I can lend them to you first. It should be able to help obtain some of the things you need.”

Duan Ling Tian quickly shook his head and said, “Brother Hai Chuan, don’t worry. I’ll earn the war points I need. You should keep your war points for yourself.”

Xue Hai Chuan shook his head as well as he said, “I don’t have any use for them now. Moreover, I’m only lending them to you; I’m not giving them to you. You can pay me back later. I don’t want you to enter the Lord Battlefield unnecessarily. You were lucky this time, but you can’t guarantee that luck will be on your side the next time.”

Although Duan Ling Tian was very moved by Xue Hai Chuan’s words, he still refused Xue Hai Chuan’s good intentions. However, Xue Hai Chuan was very adamant. Hence, in the end, he gave in and borrowed 6,000 war points from Xue Hai Chuan.

Members of the same sect could freely transfer their war points to one another through their identity tokens. The war points Duan Ling Tian obtained from the King Battlefield were still in his old identity token. He found it too troublesome to transfer them to his new identity token. After all, there were very few war points left in his old identity token.

As Xue Hai Chuan transferred his war points to Duan Ling Tian, he said with a smile, “Use these war points to exchange for the things you need. You can earn more war points after you cultivate and enter the Lord Battlefield again. When you’re ready to enter the Lord Battlefield, let me know. I’ll go with you. I believe that when you’re ready to enter the Lord Battlefield again, you should at least be as strong as an inner elder of the Tai Yi Sect.” Then, he sighed for a moment before he continued to say, “I still remember when I first met you. It was not that long ago, but at that time, you were just an ordinary King of Gods. You’ve improved so much in such a short time that you’re now almost comparable to an ordinary intermediate Lord of Gods. On the other hand, I’m still an intermediate Lord of Gods and a White Dragon Elder just like before…”

Duan Ling Tian smiled and said, “That’s right! It won’t be long before I catch up to you, Brother Hai Chuan. At that time, I might try to become a White Dragon Elder like you.”

Xue Hai Chuan laughed. “Rascal! Are you asking for a beating?”

When Xue Hai Chuan finally stopped laughing, he suddenly asked solemnly, “Little Tian, did you intentionally create a chance for Kuang Tian Zheng to ambush you?”

Xue Hai Chuan had only left the Imperial War Realm about a month ago and learned about Kuang Tian Zheng’s assassination attempt. He had broken out in cold sweat when he thought about what could go wrong at that time. He did not expect Kuang Tian Zheng would have a chance to make a move since Duan Ling Tian was staying with Sikong Yu. He knew Duan Ling Tian was not an impulsive person usually. Hence, when he learned that Duan Ling Tian had become a Lord of Gods, he suspected that Duan Ling Tian deliberately lured Kuang Tian Zheng into making a move.

Duan Ling Tian nodded and replied honestly, “Yes. If I didn’t break through and wasn’t confident, I wouldn’t have left Revered Elder Sikong’s cultivation ground. Fortunately, everything went according to plan, and I was able to get rid of Kuang Tian Zheng.”

A hint of coldness flashed in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes nearing the end of his words.

Kuang Tian Zheng had nearly killed Duan Ling Tian when he was in the Linghu clan’s estate. If Linghu Ren Jie, the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan, did not activate the Guarding Formation in time, he would have been killed by Kuang Tian Zheng. Coupled with Kuang Tian Zheng’s determination to kill him, he knew he had to get rid of Kuang Tian Zheng as soon as possible.

“I knew you’re not an impulsive person,” Xue Hai Chuan said with a nod and a smile on his face, “You should feel at ease now that Kuang Tian Zheng is gone.” Then, his expression turned grave as he continued to say, “However, you shouldn’t let your guard down at all. Although the sect leader had executed Kuang Tian Zheng’s relatives and disciples, one of them got away. You should know that Zhong Can, Kuang Tian Zheng’s second direct disciple, survived because he’s Vice Sect Leader Xue’s son-in-law.”

“Let me tell you something, I’m sure it was not Kuang Tian Zheng’s own idea to kill you in our sect’s estate. The Hidden Fog faction and the 10,000 Devils faction have been at odds for many years so I’m very familiar with Kuang Tian Zheng’s character. Although Kuang Tian Zheng was not someone who was afraid of death, he would not simply risk his life. In my opinion, the 10,000 Devils faction doesn’t have enough hold over him to make him attack you in the sect’s estate. There’s only one person who could sway him through both persuasion and force, and that person is Xue Ming Zhi.”

Duan Ling Tian’s expression darkened upon hearing Xue Hai Chuan’s warning. Although he knew Xue Ming Zhi was involved in the matter, it seemed like he had underestimated Xue Ming Zhi’s determination to kill him. After all, the person he had a conflict with was Kuang Tian Zheng. He could understand Kuang Tian Zheng’s determination to kill him. On the other hand, Xue Ming Zhi only had a conflict with him due to Kuang Tian Zheng.

Xue Hai Chuan continued to say, “I’m not familiar with Xue Ming Zhi, but I’ve heard of his deeds when he was young. He’s highly talented and as sly as a fox. He won’t stop just because Kuang Tian Zheng is dead since you both have enmity. You should be careful and not let your guard down even if you’re in the sect’s estate.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. He knew it would take some time before Xue Ming Zhi could find another person to kill him. After all, Xue Ming Zhi would not get his own hands dirty. Previously, it was easy for Xue Ming Zhi to instigate Kuang Tian Zheng due to Kuang Tian Zheng’s deep hatred toward him. It would be difficult for Xue Ming Zhi to find another person like Kuang Tian Zheng, who was willing to risk his life just to kill Duan Ling Tian. Even the two White Dragon Elders from the 10,000 Devils faction would not take such a risk just to kill him. After all, as much as they disliked him, they had no personal conflict with him. It was not worth it to sacrifice or risk their lives just to kill Duan Ling Tian.
