Chapter 3909 - The Investigation

Yang Feng, the Golden Dragon Elder, left after dealing with the matter.

Seeing that Yang Feng had given Duan Ling Tian 100,000 contribution points as compensation, the Black Dragon Elder also compensated Duan Ling Tian with 50,000 contribution points. Although Yang Feng held more responsibility regarding this matter, he was not without fault as well. Hence, he felt compelled to compensate Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, he knew that the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect highly valued Duan Ling Tian as well; the sect leader valued Duan Ling Tian more than he did the Green Dragon Disciples. Who knew what the sect leader would think if he did not compensate Duan Ling Tian? Moreover, he could also leave a good impression on Duan Ling Tian by compensating him. In short, he stood to gain everything and had nothing to lose by compensating Duan Ling Tian.

“Duan Ling Tian, I’m Wang Yi Zhan. If you need help in the future, don’t hesitate to look for me,” the Black Dragon Elder said with a wide smile as he handed Duan Ling Tian his Soul Pearl after transferring the contribution points to Duan Ling Tian.

Although Duan Ling Tian was certain he would not need to ask Wang Yi Zhan’s help, he still accepted Wang Yi Zhan’s kind gesture.

After Wang Yi Zhan left, more and more people arrived after hearing about what happened.

Dongfang Yan Nian and his wife, Ouyang Xue Li, came as well. Both of them looked at Duan Ling Tian worriedly.

“Little Tian, are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile.

Ouyang Xue Li furrowed her brows, and her voice turned cold as she said, “Why are you here alone? Were you planning to enter the Imperial War Realm alone? Where’s Xue Hai Chuan?”

Ouyang Xue Li’s voice was noticeably colder when she mentioned Xue Hai Chuan.

As soon as Ouyang Xue Li’s voice fell…

“Sister-in-law…” Xue Hai Chuan, who had just arrived, smiled wryly when he heard Ouyang Xue Li’s words. Then, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said apologetically, “Little Tian, I’m sorry about what happened.”

In fact, Xue Hai Chuan was unaware that Duan Ling Tian had left his cultivation ground. Nonetheless, he would not have been worried even if he had been aware. In his opinion, with Kuang Tian Zheng serving as an example, he did not think anyone would dare to attack Duan Ling Tian in the Flying Dragon Sect. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian was now strong enough to hold his ground long enough against a White Dragon Elder until reinforcement arrived. Saying that, he felt it was impossible for any of the White Dragon Elders, including the two from the 10,000 Devils faction, to disregard their lives and kill Duan Ling Tian in the sect.

“Brother Hai Chuan, it’s not your fault. I left without telling you, after all,” Duan Ling Tian said confidently with a smile, “Moreover, I’m fine. Based on my strength, unless an advanced Lord of Gods makes a move, it’s impossible for the others to kill me.”

Xue Hai Chun said, filled with praise, “I heard about what happened! Not only did you successfully defend against them, but you even killed them! I heard they were stronger than most of our inner elders.”

Xue Hai Chuan had been shocked when he heard the news during his journey here. When they were in the Imperial War Realm, he knew Duan Ling Tian’s strength was comparable to that of an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect when Duan Ling Tian killed the inner elder from Tai Yi Sect on the Lord Battlefield. However, defending and killing two intermediate Lords of Gods at the same time was a difficult feat. If he were in Duan Ling Tian’s shoes, he was not certain he could escape completely unharmed. Duan Ling Tian was only injured from the duo’s second attack. This indicated that Duan Ling Tian’s strength not only surpassed most inner elders, but it was almost comparable to some White Dragon Elders.

Dongfang Yan Nian said, “Little Tian, I didn’t expect you to become so strong so quickly. When you become an intermediate Lord of Gods, I don’t think we’ll be a match for you.”

Dongfang Yan Nian was confident he could defeat Duan Ling Tian when Duan Ling Tian was a rudimentary Lord of Gods, but once Duan Ling Tian became an intermediate Lord of Gods, it would be considered good as long as he did not lose too miserably.

“Your law of space has also improved tremendously after a decade,” Dongfang Yan Nian said with a sigh.

“It’s not bad,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile.

While Duan Ling Tian, Xue Hai Chuan, Dongfang Yan Nian, and Ouyang Xue Li continued to chat, the crowd around them began to grow as well.

Even Ding Yan and Sikong Yue came to have a look. Since Hou Qing Ning was still in the Imperial War Realm, he was naturally absent.

“Duan Ling Tian, are you alright?” Ding Yan asked.

Duan Ling Tian saw the traces of concern in Sikong Yue’s eyes, he sighed inwardly. It was clear that Sikong Yue still liked him. To Sikong Yue’s disappointment, he pretended not to notice her feelings. He turned to Ding Yang and replied with a smile, “I’m fine. Why are you here? I thought you were in the Imperial Realm.”

“I’ll enter after a period of time,” Ding Yan said. Then, he turned to greet Xue Hai Chuan and the others.

Xue Hai Chuan and the others knew Ding Yang was a good friend of Duan Ling Tian so they were friendly to him and did not treat him as an ordinary inner disciple.

Meanwhile, the crowd whispered among themselves as they looked at Duan Ling Tian and the others.

“I didn’t expect Duan Ling Tian to be so strong! To think those from the Tai Yi Sect confidently claimed that Duan Ling Tian isn’t a match for Ximen Long Xiang. What a joke!”

“Ximen Long Xiang only managed to kill rudimentary Lords of Gods from our sect, but Duan Ling Tian has shown that he’s able to kill intermediate Lords of Gods. I heard that the battle earlier had been recorded in a Floating Image Pearl. It won’t be long before we can watch it.”

“That’s great! I was just thinking that it’s a pity I didn’t get to witness the earlier battle. I’ll use my contribution points to exchange for the recording!”

“Who knew a rudimentary Lord of Gods below the age of 3,000 could be so strong? His strength has surpassed that of the inner elders and is comparable to the White Dragon Elders…”

“In fact, I think the weaker and newly promoted White Dragon Elders might not be able to defeat him at all…”

At the same time, Sikong Yue stared at the purple-clad young man in front of her in a daze after she overheard the hushed conversation in her surroundings.

‘He’s grown so much in just a blink of an eye. In the past, I thought he was only slightly better than I am… Now, it seems like it’s impossible for me to catch up to him. Not only do I have a low innate talent and comprehension skills, but I have a poor personality as well. No wonder he has no interest in me…’ Sikong Yue thought to herself. She sighed inwardly before she silently left. She looked lonely when she left, but no one noticed her since everyone’s attention was focused on Duan Ling Tian.

…

Unlike the liveliness near the entrance to the Imperial War Realm, the atmosphere was gloomy and tense in the main hall of the Flying Dragon Sect.

Long Qing Chong, the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, who was sitting on the main seat wore an unsightly expression on his face as he looked at an old man, who was a Black Dragon Elder. He said, “You accepted them both on the same day so you should know them better than anyone else.”

The Black Dragon Elder said solemnly, “Sect Leader, they were very taciturn. I didn’t pay attention to them since it’s not a strange thing. However, now that I think about it, something’s not right. Elder Yang said that the duo attacked with disregard for their lives. They were completely unafraid. Coupled with the fact that they made a move in the sect, I suspect they were death warriors. Someone must have hired them and got them to join the sect to kill Duan Ling Tian. The culprit must have a deep grudge against Duan Ling Tian. Even Elder Yang suspects they were death warriors.”

The Black Dragon Elder hit the nail on the head.

At this moment, another Black Dragon Elder stepped forward and said, “Sect leader, the duo didn’t go to the Imperial War Realm immediately after joining the sect. In fact, they seemed rather reluctant to enter the Lord Battlefield. They were forced to enter in the end when the stipulated time was almost up. This contradicts what one of them said to Elder Dongfang Yan Nian. When Elder Dongfang Yan Nian showed one of them around, he had said that he had a deep grudge against the Tai Yi Sect and wanted to kill people from the Tai Yi Sect. If that was the case, he wouldn’t have waited until the last minute to enter the Lord Battlefield. All these further prove that they were death warriors.”
