War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3861: Kuang Tian Zheng’s Determination

“It’s not your fault, you don’t have to blame yourself,” Duan Ling Tian said in an attempt to console Ding Yan. In his opinion, Ding Yan’s intention was good. Ding Yan had thought about him first after finding out about the Divine Sanctuary from the two men. Ding Yan had even negotiated with them so the conditions were more favorable to him. Clearly, the two men had used Ding Yan’s loyalty to get to him. For all these reasons, he did not resent Ding Yan at all. On the contrary, he felt grateful.

“Duan Ling Tian, do you remember that person’s face?” Ding Yan asked.

“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian replied, “However, even if I recognize him, I can’t prove anything. He had a Formation compass that prevented me from using Floating Image Pearls to record him.”

Formation compasses were like portable Formations. They could be used to hold defensive, offensive, assistive, or restrictive Formations. However, Formation compasses that held Killing Formations or defensive Formations were quite rare since a lot of energy was needed to create them.

“Can you describe his appearance to me? Perhaps, I know him,” Ding Yan asked.

After listening to Duan Ling Tian’s description, Ding Yan thought about it for a moment before he said regretfully, “I don’t think I’ve seen him before, but I can ask around.”

“There’s no need for that,” Duan Ling Tian said, “Moreover, who knows if he was using a disguise? Nonetheless, his technique and divine artifact can’t be faked. I’ll recognize him if I see him.”

Let alone a Lord of Gods, even Duan Ling Tian had his specific ways of doing things. Habits were not easy to change, after all.

“You’re right,” Ding Yan replied.

“Just let it be for now. There’s no need for you to ask around. Besides, I don’t plan to stay in the inner disciples’ cultivation ground anymore,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“You’re leaving? Are you worried the culprit will make a move in the sect? There’s no need to worry. If you stay in the sect, the culprit won’t attack you unless he has a death wish,” Ding Yan said worriedly.

“It’s just a precaution,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “They might not dare to kill me in the sect. However, this time, it’s clear that they’re determined to kill me. We’re in the midst of the Imperial War, and yet, they have the time to plan this. This indicates they’re growing desperate to kill me. They know it’d be disastrous for them once I grow stronger.”

Ding Yan frowned as he said, “Where will you go if you leave the inner disciples’ cultivation ground? Are you planning to enter the Imperial War Realm? However, the Imperial War Realm isn’t a suitable place to cultivate.”

Duan Ling Tian smiled as he replied, “I’m not going to enter the Imperial War Realm until I become a Lord of Gods. I’ll stay in Brother Hai Chuan’s courtyard and cultivate there. No one will be able to make a move against me there. Whether it’s Kuang Tian Zheng or two White Dragon Elders in the 10,000 Devils faction, they won’t be able to do anything to me unless they have a death wish.”

Ding Yang sighed in relief upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s reply. “Elder Xue’s courtyard is indeed a good place for you to stay. Duan Ling Tian, I’ll speak to Uncle Siking as soon as I can. If Elder Xue enters the Imperial War Realm, you can stay with my Uncle Sikong. With his protection, even Vice Sect Leader Xue won’t be able to do anything, let alone the two White Dragon Elders from the 10,000 Devils faction.”

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate to accept Ding Yan’s suggestion. After all, he would need another place to stay once Xue Hai Chuan enters the Imperial War Realm. However, based on the current situation, he knew Xue Hai Chuan would not be entering the Imperial War Realm so soon because Xue Hai Chuan still needed to protect his elder brother, Xue Hai Shan, who was also targeted by the 10,000 Devils faction. No one knew if the White Dragon Elder from the 10,000 Devils faction, who was determined to seek revenge from Xue Hai Shan, was in the Imperial War Realm. He had run into that White Dragon Elder before he entered the King Battlefield. At that time, Dongfang Yan Nian had pointed the White Dragon Elder out to him.

…

After Duan Ling Tian ended his conversation with Ding Yan, he teleported to Xue Hai Chuan’s courtyard.

After expressing his intention to stay with Xue Hai Chuan for a period of time, Duan Ling Tian said apologetically, “I’m sorry for troubling you, Brother Hai Chuan.”

“Little Tian, why are you treating me like an outsider? There’s no need to be so polite. You can stay here for as long as you need,” Xue Hai Chuan said with a warm smile on his face before he arranged for Duan Ling Tian to stay in an independent building in his courtyard. The cultivation environment there was not inferior to Xue Hai Chuan’s personal cultivation ground.

Duan Ling Tian asked, “Brother Hai Chuan, has Brother Hai Shan come out of his closed-door cultivation?”

Xue Hai Chuan shook his head as he replied, “No.” Then, he asked solemnly, “Little Tian, what happened? Why did you suddenly come to me?”

Xue Hai Chuan knew Duan Ling Tian would not have come to him if there was no problem.

“It’s just a small matter,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile before he briefly recounted what had happened.

After Xue Hai Chuan listened to Duan Ling Tian, he said with a dark expression on his face, “Based on your description, I think I know who he is. He did not usea disguise.”

“Who is it?” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. He wanted to know the identity of the person who destroyed his doppelganger from the law of space.

“Meng Shan,” Xue Hai Chuan replied with a low voice, “I’ve sparred with him once when I just became an intermediate Lord of Gods. His techniques are exactly as you described.”

“Meng Shan? Is he from the 10,000 Devils faction?” Duan Ling Tian asked in confusion. It was his first time hearing this name, after all.

“He’s Kuang Tian Zheng’s first direct disciple and a rudimentary Lord of Gods. He’s also an outer elder of the sect,” Xue Hai Chuan replied with a nod.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I’ve already suspected him to be from the 10,000 Devils faction or has something to do with Kuang Tian Zheng. Meng Shan… I’ll remember him.” Killing intent flashed in his eyes as he muttered to himself, “The day I become a Lord of Gods is the day Kuang Tian Zheng dies.”

Today was the first time Duan Ling Tian faced a Lord of Gods. Although his opponent was just a rudimentary Lord of Gods, the gap between an advanced King of Gods and a rudimentary Lord of Gods was still hard to overcome. Nonetheless, based on the battle alone, he was confident he would be strong enough to kill Kuang Tian Zheng once he became a rudimentary Lord of Gods due to his extraordinary comprehension of the law of space. He might not be a match for Xue Hai Chuan or the other White Dragon Elders, but it was not a problem for him to kill an inner elder like Kuang Tian Zheng. In fact, with his secret weapons, he could easily kill Kuang Tian Zheng.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Xue Hai Chuan could not help but remind Duan Ling Tian, “Little Tian, don’t underestimate Kuang Tian Zheng. He has his means as well. His comprehension of the law might not be any weaker than yours. Even after you stabilized your cultivation after becoming a rudimentary Lord of Gods, it might still be difficult for you to deal with him. I advise you to wait until you’ve become an intermediate Lord of Gods.”

Although Duan Ling Tian’s strength was shocking, Kuang Tian Zheng’s comprehension of the law was quite profound as well. Hence, Xue Hai Chuan thought it would be difficult for Duan Ling Tian to kill Kuang Tian Zheng even if Duan Ling Tian was a rudimentary Lord of Gods. At most, he thought Duan Ling Tian would be able to fight to a draw with Kuang Tian Zheng.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Don’t worry, Brother Hai Chuan. I won’t make a move unless I’m certain of my victory. I won’t risk alerting my enemy for no good reason.”

Xue Hai Chuan felt relieved upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s reply. Then, he said solemnly, “You did the right thing by coming to me immediately. Since Kuang Tian Zheng made an attempt on your life during the Imperial War, it shows that he’s desperate to get rid of you. Not only that, I’m sure the entire 10,000 Devils faction can’t wait to get rid of you as well. Kuang Tian Zheng might attack you in the sect out of desperation. In fact, he can even challenge you to a life-or-death battle. Many people would benefit from him killing you.”

Xue Hai Chuan did not say that Xue Ming Zhi would also benefit from Duan Ling Tian’s death. After all, Duan Ling Tian was a huge threat to Xue Ming Zhi. Moreover, Xue Ming Zhi was tied to Kuang Tian Zheng through the union of Kuang Tian Zheng’s daughter and Kuang Tian Zheng’s second disciple. Xue Hai Chuan did not mention Xue Ming Zhi because he did not want Duan Ling Tian to feel even more pressure. After all, even the Black Dragon Elders were no match for Xue Ming Zhi, let alone him who was only a White Dragon Elder. Xue Ming Zhi was an advanced Lord of Gods, after all.

…

After Meng Shan failed to kill Duan Ling Tian, Kuang Tian Zheng hurried to the inner disciples’ cultivation ground. However, he could not find Duan Ling Tian.

“Duan Ling Tian has left the inner disciples’ cultivation ground?”

Kuang Tian Zheng’s expression was very unsightly at this moment. He had come here determined to kill Duan Ling Tian. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to leave.
