Chapter 3159: A Staunch and Upright Huang Jia Long

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tan Yuan, who represented the Fire Glaze Mansion in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, was one of the few, if not the most, extraordinary Ten Directions Celestial Dukes in the Fire Glaze Mansion. Due to his extraordinary status, he was able to behave willfully and not show up after being summoned by the higher-ups of the mansion.

Mo Ping Zhi could have done the same and disregarded the higher-ups since he was an outstanding disciple in the Fire Glaze Mansion as well. However, he decided to face the music after considering the other six people who were eliminated along with him. This was the reason he was much more likable than Tan Yuan.

The other six disciples of the Fire Glaze Mansion were rather moved when they saw Tan Yuan standing alongside them and getting rebuked by the higher-ups. After all, they knew Mo Ping Zhi did not have to be there if he did not want to.

At this moment, Mo Ping Zhi stepped forward and said, “Lord Vice Mansion Masters, elders... This matter has nothing to do with the six of them.... I was careless and underestimated Duan Ling Tian. I had believed that as long as Tan Yuan and I worked together, we would be able to eliminate Duan Ling Tian.”

Upon hearing Mo Ping Zhi’s words, the higher-ups of the Fire Glaze Mansion sighed inwardly. They knew they could not be too harsh on Mo Ping Zhi. If they were too excessive, it might displease Mo Ping Zhi. At that time, who knew if he would still enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm in the future? If he decided not to enter the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm anymore, the mansion would only suffer a great loss.

After a few moments, one of the Vice Mansion Masters said with a sigh, “In fact, we can’t solely blame Mo Ping Zhi for this matter. After all, he had never met Duan Ling Tian until today. It’s understandable that he thought he would be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian as long as he joined forces with Tan Yuan. No one expected the Profound Nether Mansion to find such a powerful helper after all.”

The other higher-ups nodded and expressed their agreement when they heard these words.

Upon seeing this, the other six disciples sighed in relief inwardly. They felt even more grateful to Mo Ping Zhi at this moment. They were aware that if it were not for Mo Ping Zhi, there was no way they could avoid shouldering the blame.

...

At this moment, all the grade-six Celestial Mansions had seen Duan Ling Tian, the Profound Nether Mansion’s outer court disciples, rising to fifth place with 286 points. Most importantly, he had risen to his current rank within two days of entering the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm! Currently, even those who did not pay much attention to the ranking in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm had heard about him.

“Where did the Profound Nether Mansion find such a monstrous talent? All of the disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion have been completely eliminated this month!”

“Duan Ling Tian is really bold! Isn’t he afraid the Fire Glaze Mansion would hold a grudge and seek revenge from him?”

“Based on Duan Ling Tian’s strength and bold actions, do you really think he has a simple background? Before verifying his background, the Fire Glaze Mansion won’t dare to act against him. In fact, they probably wish nothing would happen to him for now. After all, if something were to happen to him, they would be the prime suspect.”

“I’m really curious about where the Profound Nether Mansion found him... What does he want from the Profound Nether Mansion? He’s even willing to represent them in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.”

“I’m afraid only Duan Ling Tian and the Profound Nether Mansion have the answer to this question.”

...

Meanwhile, the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate was like a bustling market at this moment; there was a huge commotion in the estate. After all, the mansion had not trumped all the major grade-six Celestial Mansions in this manner for a long time now.

“Good kid! He rose to fifth place within two days! It’s truly an impressive feat!” Qi Tian Ming, an inspector of the Profound Nether Mansion, laughed heartily when he received news of this. He was, naturally, delighted with Duan Ling Tian’s impressive achievement in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

Meanwhile, Bihai Ming Feng, an inspector of the Profound Nether Mansion and also one of the Sect Leaders of the Coupling Celestial Sect, was shocked as well when he received news of what had happened.

‘Duan Ling Tian rose to fifth place? He single-handedly eliminated the Fire Glaze Mansion’s Mo Ping Zhi and Tan Yuan? He’s actually so strong? If I’m not mistaken, he has a pretty good relationship with one of the disciples we accepted at Scaling Cloud Lake previously. What’s that disciple’s name again?’

With these thoughts in mind, he quickly sent a Communication Talisman back to the grade-seven Coupling Celestial Sect.

...

When the other Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect received the message from Bihai Ming Feng, he quickly ordered his subordinates to investigate the identity of the person who was said to have a close relationship with Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years old, but he was already a Ten Directions Celestial Duke who had comprehended so many profundities from the law of space. Apart from that, he had risen to fifth place in less than two days after entering the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Such a person’s future would be exceptionally bright unless he died an untimely death.

It was beneficial for the Coupling Celestial Sect to strike a good relationship with Duan Ling Tian. Now that they learned one of their new disciples had an existing relationship with Duan Ling Tian, how could they remain indifferent?

It did not take long before Huang Jia Long was brought to the Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect. A confused expression could be seen on his face at this moment. It was obvious he did not have the slightest clue about what was going on. He even wondered if Duan Ling Tian had gotten into some sort of trouble. “Lord Sect Leader.”

“You’re Huang Jia Long?”

Huang Jia Long who had been nervous about being suddenly summoned sighed in relief when he saw the sect leader’s amiable expression. It seemed like he had been overthinking things.

The Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect did not beat around the bush and asked, “I heard you have a good relationship with Duan Ling Tian?”

Huang Jia Long nodded faintly. “He’s like a brother to me. Lord Sect Leader, is something the matter with Duan Ling Tian?” A hint of worry could be heard in his voice at this moment. Although he did not know Duan Ling Tian for long, due to their compatibility, they were close friends. It was only natural that he would worry about Duan Ling Tian.

The Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect did not answer Huang Jian Long’s question. Instead, he asked in return, “How did both of you get acquainted?”

“We met in the Supporting Fall Nation... My father’s the City Governor of Passage City in the Supporting Fall Nation...”

Upon hearing Huang Jia Long’s words, the sect leader’s expression turned cold without any warning. “I’ll give you one more chance to be honest... Do you really have a close relationship with Duan Ling Tian?”

“... Yes...” Huang Jia Long’s heart sank when he saw the sect leader’s abrupt change. It seemed like his initial thoughts were correct; Duan Ling Tian had indeed gotten into some sort of trouble. Moreover, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian had somehow offended the Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect.

The Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect looked at Huang Jiang Long with narrowed eyes and said in a threatening and low voice, “You should have Duan Ling Tian’s Soul Pearl, right? Bring it out. I’m going to send him a message; if he doesn’t come to our sect, I’ll kill you.” After a brief pause, he added, “Naturally, I’m not going to really kill you. I’m just planning to use you to lure him here. As long as I manage to kill him, I’ll definitely reward you. I’ll accept you as my last disciple. In the future, you’ll stand a chance of becoming the Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect.”

It was clear now that the Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect was trying to entice Huang Jia Long into helping him to kill Duan Ling Tian.

“Lord Sect Leader, may I ask how Duan Ling Tian offended you?” Huang Jia Long’s expression changed drastically.

Crack!

A crisp noise rang when Huang Jia Long suddenly fell to his knees. When he rose to his feet, a shattered Soul Pearl could be seen lying on the ground. With this, the soul mark branded in the Soul Pearl was naturally destroyed as well. Before he destroyed the Soul Pearl, he had managed to quickly send a message to Duan Ling Tian. “Brother Duan, I don’t know what happened, but don’t listen to any threats from the Coupling Celestial Sect. The sect leader wants me to lure you here with your Soul Pearl and threaten you using my life. I’ll be destroying your Soul Pearl after sending this message. I hope I’ll have a chance to be brothers with you again in my next life!”

“You destroyed the Soul Pearl?” the Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect asked incredulously, “You’re not afraid of death?”

“Of course I’m afraid of death. Who isn’t? However, I’d rather die than betray my brother!” Huang Jia Long said resolutely. He was fearless now that he had accepted the fact that he was going to die. At this moment, whatever respect he had for the Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect was gone.

Contrary to Huang Jia Long’s expectations, the Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect laughed heartily and applauded as he said, “Good! Very good! From today onward, Huang Jia Long, you will become my, Gongsun Wenqing, last disciple!”

Huang Jia Long was stunned by Gongsun Wenqing’s sudden change in behavior. When he finally recovered his senses, he asked in confusion, “Lord Sect Leader, w-what’s going on?”

...

In the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

Duan Ling Tian, who had just met up with Wan Qing Qing, just received Huang Jia Long’s message. His expression changed drastically when he heard the content of the message. His expression was one of confusion and worry. “What happened? Why does the Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect want to lure me to the sect?”

Despite his confusion, Duan Ling Tian was certain Huang Jia Long’s message was real. He knew Huang Jia Long would never play a prank like this. He turned to Wan Qing Qing and said in a grave and urgent tone, “I have something urgent to deal with. I’m returning to the Profound Nether Mansion. Follow me to the Profound Nether Mansion’s base before we part, and give me your Soul Pearl. I’ll contact you once I’m done dealing with my affairs.”
