Chapter 4129 - Lu Tian Feng’s Suggestion

Regardless of whether the three teachers successfully killed Duan Ling Tian or not, they would definitely die. Unfortunately, they could only do as they were told because the lives of their families were hanging on the line. Their families had been kidnapped and used to threaten them. If they refused to try and kill Duan Ling Tian, their families would be killed instead.

At that time, a member of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation had said threateningly, “Don’t think about deceiving us. We have spies in the Myriad Laws Academy. If we find out that you didn’t try to kill Duan Ling Tian, your families will pay the price.”

The three teachers, who were Emperors of Gods, were furious but helpless when threatened. After all, to avoid bringing harm to their families, they could only follow the orders. However, up until now, they had yet to find an opportunity to kill Duan Ling Tian. After killing five disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, which included a Holy Son, Duan Ling Tian seemed to have disappeared into thin air. They could not find him even in his dormitory. As time passed, they began to grow anxious, hence, they gathered to discuss the matter.

“It’s not that we don’t want to make a move. We don’t have a chance to make a move at all. Since those people have spies in the family, they should know about the situation. Perhaps, they won’t blame us or hurt our family members…”

“I really hope you’re right. I just have this feeling that they might not be the type to keep their words…”

“Even so, we don’t have a choice… At least, we know our families are safe for now through their Soul Pearls. As long as they’re alive, nothing else matters.”

“I thought I’d be able to rise in ranks after becoming an Emperor of Gods. I didn’t expect to be threatened and forced to do something I have no wish of doing…”

…

Duan Ling Tian, who had returned to the Inner Palace faction, was naturally unaware that three teachers had been threatened to kill him. Nonetheless, he knew that the Myriad Laws Academy was fraught with hidden dangers, especially after Yang Yu Chen warned him. As such, he did not plan to leave the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm for the time being. Instead, he would focus on cultivating and becoming an advanced Lord of Gods before the Trial of Gods opened.

…

“Duan Ling Tian’s nowhere to be seen. He must be in closed-door cultivation,” a spy in the Myriad Laws Academy reported to Lu Tian Feng, the Vice Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.

Needless to say, Lu Tian Feng was displeased by the report. He said gloomily, “Continue to keep an eye on his movement. As soon as he shows up, inform those three Emperors of Gods. He can’t hide forever. I’d like to see how long he can stay in hiding.”

…

After a few decades.

Lu Tian Feng felt rather speechless. Duan Ling Tian still had yet to show up after so long. It was as though Duan Ling Tian was aware of his sinister plan.

“Duan Ling Tian can really endure. I’ve underestimated him…”

Although a few decades had passed, Lu Tian Feng’s desire to kill Duan Ling Tian did not cool down at all. On the contrary, it had continued to grow.

“It seems like he’s preparing to enter the Trial of Gods that will be opening in about half a century or so…”

Despite being eager to kill Duan Ling Tian, Lu Tian Feng was still very level-headed and did not act rashly. After all, he was a Vice Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.

“If that scourge enters the Trial of Gods, he’ll become more difficult to kill. As it is, it’s already difficult for an extraordinary Emperor of Gods to kill him. Considering everything he has done despite being less than 1,000 years old, it’s not impossible for him to become an advanced Lord of Gods in another few more decades. If he enters the Trial of Gods as an advanced Lord of Gods, there’s a possibility of him becoming a rudimentary Emperor of Gods if he comes across a fortuitous encounter.”

Perhaps, the difference in strength between an intermediate Lord of Gods and a rudimentary Emperor of Gods was not too big. However, if Duan Ling Tian became a rudimentary Emperor of Gods, it was likely that not many below the realm of an advanced Emperor of Gods would be a match for him.

“I can’t allow him to grow stronger… I won’t allow it!”

Lu Tian Feng took a deep breath before he rose to his feet and left his cultivation ground to look for the Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation to express his concerns.

…

The expression of the Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation turned unsightly after listening to Lu Tian Feng’s words. Outstanding prodigies like Duan Ling Tian would definitely seek revenge from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation once they were capable of doing so. There was no doubt that Duan Ling Tian was a huge threat to the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.

That night, the Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation called for an emergency meeting with Lu Tian Feng and the core members of the congregation.

Another Vice Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation asked solemnly, “Leader, is it possible for us to make peace with Duan Ling Tian? The fact that he managed to survive up until now shows that he’s not easy to kill…”

Before the Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation could respond, Lu Tian Feng said, “It’s impossible for us to make peace with Duan Ling Tian! If we extend an olive branch to him, he might not necessarily accept it due to distrust. Even if he agrees to make peace, it’s still too dangerous to let him live. Who knows if he’ll go back on his words once he grows strong enough? I don’t think we should make peace with him at all. Our best choice is to find an opportunity to get rid of him for good.”

Lu Tian Feng’s voice was frosty nearing the end of his words.

“I think Vice Leader Lu has a point…”

Many of the elders, including the leader of the congregation, agreed with Lu Tian Feng. In the end, they quickly came to a consensus to kill Duan Ling Tian at all costs.

After the consensus had been made, Lu Tian Feng asked, “Leader, the two Holy Sons will be entering the Myriad Laws Academy soon, right?”

“That’s right,” the Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation said with a nod, “It’s almost time for them to enter the academy. Otherwise, they won’t have time to accumulate enough points to enter the Trial of Gods.”

Lu Tian Feng’s eyes flashed as he said, “Leader, after the two Holy Sons accumulate enough points, why don’t you tell them to challenge Duan Ling Tian to a life-or-death battle if there’s a chance to do so? If I’m not mistaken, Duan Ling Tian should’ve already become an advanced Lord of Gods at that time. Even so, his cultivation base will definitely still be unstable. If either one of the Holy Sons is close to breaking through to become an intermediate Emperor of Gods, tell them to suppress their cultivation base and only break through during the life-or-death battle. At that time, it’d be easy for them to kill Duan Ling Tian.”

“Needless to say, the people I found will also continue to look for a chance to kill Duan Ling Tian. However, we don’t know if Yang Yu Chen is secretly protecting Duan Ling Tian. If that’s the case, Duan Ling Tian definitely won’t die no matter how many Emperors of Gods we send to kill him. For this reason, I think it’s best if our Holy Sons can challenge him to a life-or-death battle. After signing a death pact, no one will be able to save Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, no one will think it’s strange if our Holy Sons challenge him to a life-or-death battle since he killed five of our disciples,” Lu Tian Feng said as his eyes glinted coldly.

The Leader of the Congregation thought about it for a moment before he nodded. “Very well. I’ll make the arrangements. I plan to wait for a little while before sending them to the academy. However, with this, it’s better if I send them there earlier. I’ll send them to the Myriad Laws Academy in three days.”

…

Three days later.

A flying ship left the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation’s estate. There were five people on board the flying ship. There were two young men, two old men, and a middle-aged man. One of the old men was Lu Tian Feng.

At this moment, a handsome but sinister-looking young man, who was dressed in a long blue robe, asked, “Senior Uncle Tian Feng, is it true that Duan Ling Tian isn’t even 1,000 years old?”

Lu Tian Feng looked as though he had eaten a fly when Duan Ling Tian was mentioned. Nonetheless, he still replied, “Yes, it’s true. I sent my men to the lower realm several times to verify this matter. He’s from a mundane realm. Although he’s not even 1,000 years old, he’s achieved a lot. His comprehension of the law of space is incredibly profound, and shockingly, he has also comprehended the Sword Dao.” After a brief pause, he added, “I suspect he might have inherited something from a supreme powerhouse who comprehended the law of space. To be precise, I suspect it’s a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. After all, at such a young age, his comprehension of the law of space has already surpassed most Emperors of Gods.”

In fact, this was only Lu Tian Feng’s speculation. He did not hear anything about Duan Ling Tian possessing a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity at all.

Duan Ling Tian would have been shocked by the accuracy of Lu Tian Feng’s speculation if he were to hear it. After all, he knew that it was impossible for anyone to discover that he possessed the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity since he had hidden it carefully.

The handsome young man’s eyes lit up as he exclaimed, “The Supreme Powerhouse Divinity?! That’s a rare treasure! Very few supreme powerhouses would leave their Supreme Powerhouse Divinities behind…”

The other old man chimed in, “That’s only natural. After all, even if they want to, they might not necessarily be able to leave their Supreme Powerhouse Divinities behind. The success rate of doing so is very low.”

The old man continued to say, “It’s truly a rare treasure. If you manage to obtain a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, but the law contained there isn’t your strongest law, it’ll still be highly beneficial to you. With the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, it won’t take long for you to comprehend the new law and have it surpass your strongest law in a short time. Hence, if you manage to kill him and obtain his Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, you’ll benefit greatly. Alas, the chances of you obtaining his Supreme Powerhouse Divinity are very small. After all, it’s likely that he keeps in a self-destructive spatial ring. If he dies, the spatial ring will destruct, and everything in there will be swept away into the space turbulence…”
