Duan Ling Tian’s heart thumped heavily as his expression turned solemn. Based on Linghu Ren Jie’s words, it seemed like Ke’er’s situation was not very good.
Linghu Ren Jie sighed. “I really don’t want to tell you about the specific situation since there’s nothing you can do about it now with your current strength. Ren Feng previously returned because she wanted Chu Yin to stay in the clan while she looked for your wife.”
“She’s… looking for my wife?” Duan Ling Tian was perplexed. “How is she related to my wife?”
Following that, a thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind when he recalled Ke’er’s resemblance to Linghu Chu Yin.
“Your wife, Xia Ning Xue, and Chu Yin are twin sisters.” Linghu Ren Jie said with a sigh, “However, my sister didn’t tell me too much about your wife’s current situation.”
“Even if you don’t know the details, can you tell me what you know? Even if I can’t do anything, I still want to know,” Duan Ling Tian said with a burning gaze.
Linghu Ren Jie averted his gaze before he sighed and said, “Very well. Since you insist, I’ll tell you what I know. My sister said that Ning Xue is on the Realm Battlefield and that no one has heard from her after she entered the battlefield. My sister only knows that Ning Xue is still alive. That’s the reason why my sister left for the Realm Battlefield. Don’t worry. Like you said, she’s not an ordinary Emperor of Gods. She might be able to find Ning Xue.”
Linghu Ren Jie tried to comfort Duan Ling Tian at the end of his words.
“She’s on the Realm Battlefield, and no one has heard from her?” Duan Ling Tian’s body trembled slightly. Then, without any warning, he suddenly spat out blood. It seemed like the news had hit him hard.
“Don’t worry. Calm down. The heavens protect the worthy. Chu Yin has the face of a blessed person so Ning Xue is the same,” Linghu Ren Jie said in an attempt to comfort Duan Ling Tian, “What you have to do now is to quickly get stronger after going to the Pure Yang Sect. Try to become an Emperor of Gods before the Realm Battlefield closes. With that, you can also search for her at that time.”
Despite Linghu Ren Jie’s words, he thought it would be difficult for Duan Ling Tian to become an Emperor of Gods within 300 years. He only said such words because he could not bear to see the anxious expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face.
Duan Ling Tian took a few deep breaths to calm down. After that, he forced a smile on his face and said, “As it turns out, you’re Ke’er’s uncle. I’ll refer to you as Clan Leader for now. When I reunite with Ke’er and see you again, I’ll properly address you as Uncle along with Ke’er.”
“Alright, I’ll be waiting for that day,” Linghu Ren Jie said with a smile. A hint of anticipation could be seen on his face as well. He really did not expect the promising young man he met would be married to his long-lost niece. Moreover, they even had a daughter together.
“Clan leader, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave with the two elders from the Pure Yang Sect now,” Duan Ling Tian said. At this moment, he only wanted to go to the Pure Yang Sect so he could cultivate and raise his cultivation base as soon as possible. His pressure had increased with the latest news.
Previously, Duan Ling Tian did not think Ke’er was in imminent danger. He had planned to take Ke’er away from the Divine Offering Land after 300 years. He planned to bring her to the lower realms. This was because if those from the Divine Offering Land came looking for them, even if their cultivation bases were higher than his, their strength would be restrained in the Devata Realms or the mundane realms due to the restrictions set by the supreme powerhouses. With that, he would have a chance of dealing with them.
However, now that he found out about the precarious situation Ke’er was in, his desire to grow stronger increased significantly.
Linghu Ren Jie nodded. “Go. I won’t say anything else since I’m sure you know what to do. Just remember that as powerful as the Pure Yang Sect is, their influence is only limited to the Eastern Ridge Mansion. There are many forces far more powerful with many more talents than the Pure Yang Sect outside of the Eastern Ridge Mansion. You have to be careful in the future.”
“I will,” Duan Ling Tian said. Before leaving, he added with a serious expression, “Clan leader, if you or the clan need help, please don’t hesitate to contact me. As long as it’s within my capability, I’ll definitely help you.”
Then, Duan Ling Tian gave Linghu Ren Jie a few king-grade Limit Divine Pills and lord-grade divine pills that he refined before he left the hall.
Duan Ling Tian did not give Linghu Ren Jie the lord-grade Limit Divine Pills not because he thought Linghu Ren Jie would betray him. He was only worried Linghu Ren Jie would be soft-hearted and give the divine pills to others, and in turn, expose his ability. Moreover, he would return again in the future, and at that time, he would be able to give Linghu Ren Jie even better divine pills.
…
From the time they arrived in Linghu City to the time they left Linghu City, only two hours had passed.
“Duan Ling Tian, do you want to return to the Pure Yang Sect or do you still have another place to go?” Zhen Ping Fan asked. After being flattered continuously by the council of elders from the Linghu clan, he had grown bored.
“Elder Zhen, I want to meet an old friend and settle some matters in Skywind City. If you’re in a hurry, you can return to the Pure Yang Sect first, and I’ll meet you there later,” Duan Ling Tian replied.
Zhen Ping Fan waved his hand and said, “No. I don’t have anything better to do so I’ll accompany you. What matters do you have to settle? Is there going to be a bloodbath?”
Zhen Ping Fan’s expression seemed to brighten again at this moment.
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian was no longer surprised by Zhen Ping Fang’s reaction. He nodded as his eyes glinted coldly.
In the past, the king-rank Zhong clan had sent death warriors to kill Duan Ling Tian. It was finally time to settle the scores. Although the Zhong clan tried to compensate and make amends, he did not intend to let them go.
‘Apart from the Zhong clan, there were also a few other forces involved in the matter. Everyone who was involved will have to pay the price…’
In the past, Duan Ling Tian had encountered many death warriors in the trial ground when he was still in Skywind City’s Hidden Fog Academy. Without his trump cards, he would have died at that time.
Meanwhile, Zhen Ping Fang’s eyes brightened as expected upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s reply. He said, “Alright, then I’ll definitely follow you there to watch the show! I really love watching all these exciting scenes!”
Qin Wu Yang and Duan Ling Tian looked at each other, and Qin Wu Yang only shrugged helplessly. He was already used to his junior granduncle’s childish behavior.
With that, Duan Ling Tian led the duo to Skywind City. To make things easier, he also sent a message to Long Qing Chong to inform him of his intention.
Long Qing Chong’s reply came swiftly.
“I’ve ordered someone to contact Qian Yin, the Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect.Qian Yin will be waiting for your arrival.”
Skywind City was the territory of the Hidden Fog Sect, and the Hidden Fog Sect, like many other king-rank forces, was under the Flying Dragon Sect. Naturally, the Hidden Fog Sect would not dare to neglect the orders from Long Qing Chong.
While they were on the way to Skywind City, Duan Ling Tian recalled something and asked, “Elder Zhen, do the Pure Yang Sect have Destruction Divine Shuttles?”
Zhen Ping Fang was slightly caught off guard by the question. Then, he said, “There used to be a lot in the sect. However, over the past 700 years, there aren’t that many of them now due to the closed spatial passages. Many members of our sect from the lower realms bought it so they could return to their hometowns. I’m not sure if we have any in the sect now. However, if you need it, I can ask someone to forge it for you. Do you plan to return to one of the lower realms?”
Zhen Ping Fan knew Duan Ling Tian was from the Devata Realm.
Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Yes. I want a few Destruction Divine Shuttles so I can send my doppelganger back to visit my family.”
“Alright. This is just a small matter. You can ask Little Yang for help once we return to the sect,” Zhen Ping Fang said.
Qing Wu Yang said, “Natives of the Realms of Gods can’t use Destruction Divine Shuttles due to our bloodlines. We can only go to the lower realms through spatial passages. For this reason, it’s not a very popular item to forge. However, if you need it, I can ask the experts in the sect to forge them for you.”
“Thank you, Elder Zhen, Elder Qin,” Duan Ling Tian said. He was already aware that natives of Realms of Gods and also those who had yet to attain godhood were unable to use the Destruction Divine Shuttles.
