War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3182: Huan’er

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Most of the people from the Profound Nether Mansion, including Qi Tian Ming, were unaware that Duan Ling Tian had already become a Celestial King so they were looking forward to Duan Ling Tian entering the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm again and continuing to maintain his spot at the top. They believed that with his strength, it would be easy for him to stay at the first place unless he was extremely unlucky. It was only natural that they were confused when Duan Ling Tian did not enter the middle realm even though half a month had passed since it opened again. Everyone was fervently discussing his absence from the middle realm this month.

“What’s going on? Where’s Senior Duan Ling Tian?”

“I hope he didn’t leave the Profound Nether Mansion.”

“That’s possible... Otherwise, he should have entered the middle realm by now.”

“Wasn’t Senior Duan hired by the Profound Nether Mansion? It’s not surprising that he left, right?”

“Rumor has it that he’s not hired by the Profound Nether Mansion. He came from the Simplicity Celestial Sect.”

“The Simplicity Celestial Sect from the Three Sects and Two Clans? Heavens! I didn’t expect Senior Duan Ling Tian to come from there.”

“I think the Su Clan might have brought Senior Duan back to the clan. Otherwise, it’s impossible that he still hasn’t entered the middle realm.”

Meanwhile, Qi Tian Ming could not hold back his curiosity and sent a message to Duan Ling Tian. “You don’t plan to enter this month?”

“Enter where?” Duan Ling Tian who was having a conversation with the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion received Qi Tian Ming’s message at this moment. For a moment, he did not understand what Qi Tian Ming was talking about.

“The middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm,” Qi Tian Ming replied.

“Oh. I’ve already broken through and become a Celestial King. Do you think I can still enter the middle realm?” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“He’s already become a Celestial King?” Qi Tian Ming was shocked when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s reply. He did not expect this at all. He knew that Duan Ling Tian was able to become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke due to the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. However, Duan Ling Tian had only become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke not too long ago, and yet, he had already broken through and become a Celestial King? He knew Duan Ling Tian’s recent breakthrough could not possibly have anything to do with Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit since the fruit could only help one become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke not a Celestial King.

...

“Senior, I promise to stay in the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate for now. I’ll only consider leaving once I’m strong enough to enter the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm,” Duan Ling Tian said to the old man.

The old man nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. Then, as though he had just recalled something, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Recently, we discovered there’s a woman hanging around the estate; she might be a spy. Strangely, there seemed to be two people tailing her. She appeared soon after the three assassins from the Blood Skull Gang and the people from the Azure Green Mansion appeared. Could she be someone you know?” Since he could not figure out the woman’s identity, he could only ask Duan Ling Tian about it.

“A woman?” Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. “What does she look like?”

“She was wearing a veil and a hat so I couldn’t see her face at all,” the old man replied.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically. He was reminded of someone as soon as he heard the old man’s words.

‘Could it be Huan’er?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed imperceptibly. He looked at the old man and asked anxiously, “Senior, where’s she now? She might be a friend whom I’ve been searching for for a long time now. Perhaps she had come to the mansion because she heard about me being here.” His instincts told him there was a high chance that the woman was Huan’er.

“She’s a friend of yours?” The old man cocked an eyebrow. Then, he raised his hand, and an energy swept out and shrouded Duan Ling Tian.

In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian discovered they had left the Imperial Tutor Pavilion. They were moving so fast that his surroundings were just a blur.

After a moment, they began to slow down and came to a halt before the old man said, “There she is.”

Duan Ling Tian hastily turned to look in the direction where the old man was looking. He saw a white-clad woman with a curvaceous body standing in the distance. Although she was wearing a hat and veil, one could easily tell she had an extraordinary bearing. He was familiar with the veil and the hat; after all, he had bought them for her.

“Huan’er!” Duan Ling Tian called out excitedly. He did not expect Huan’er to appear at the Profound Nether Mansion. When he finally saw that she was safe and sound, the burden in his heart lifted immediately.

“Don’t reveal yourself first,” the old man warned just as Duan Ling Tian was about to step forward, “There are two people hiding behind her. They seem to be Celestial Beasts. I’ve probed them with my Divine Consciousness, and it seems like they’re from the Phantom Fox Clan.”

Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed again upon hearing the old man’s words. The Phantom Fox Clan? He recalled what Huan’er’s grandaunt had told him; before Huan’er became a Celestial Emperor, she should avoid meeting any members of the Phantom Fox Clan apart from her mother. Apart from that, her grandaunt had also said that if any of the members from the Phantom Fox Clan who did not bear the surname Du approached Huan’er, Duan Ling Tian should kill them. Otherwise, Huan’er would be in grave danger.

Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath before he asked the old man, “Senior, are you sure they’re from the Phantom Fox Clan?”

“I’m almost 100% certain,” the old man replied.

“Senior, please take me to them so I can ask for their names... If their surname isn’t Du, please kill them before they use a Communication Celestial Talisman,” Duan Ling Tian said in a solemn tone tinged with urgency.

The old man nodded, clearly willing to help Duan Ling Tian without asking any questions. After all, Duan Ling Tian was his last chance to avenge his father. Without Duan Ling Tian, the chances of him avenging his father were slim to none.

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware that the former Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion from 30,000 years ago was the old man’s father.

The old man’s mother had been on the run that year and gave birth to him before she died. He knew about his origin because his mother had left him a Memory Celestial Talisman before she died. Driven by revenge and hatred, he successfully entered the Profound Nether Mansion and rose until his current rank, and yet, he was still incapable of killing the Clan Leader of the He Clan to avenge his parents. Duan Ling Tian’s appearance had renewed his hope, therefore, as soon as Duan Ling Tian agreed to avenge his parents, he cherished Duan Ling Tian’s life more than his own. Even if Duan Ling Tian wanted his life, he would gladly kill himself as long as Duan Ling Tian promised to avenge his parents.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The old man brought Duan Ling Tian with him and appeared in front of the two men who were tailing Huan’er.

The two men, a young man and a middle-aged man, were taken aback when they saw Duan Ling Tian and the old man suddenly appeared in front of them.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted coldly as he asked in a low voice, “What are both of you doing sneaking around the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate? Tell me your names and your background. If either one of you lies, I won’t hesitate to kill you...”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the two men’s expressions turned grim. They could not see how Duan Ling Tian and the old man appeared. This indicated that Duan Ling Tian or the old man was much stronger than them.

The young man hastily said, “Sir, we’re from the Phantom Fox Clan. My name is Zhang Qi Yu, and he’s Zhang Li Zhong. We come in peace.”

Their surnames were not Du!

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed immediately.

At the same time, the old man casually raised his hand.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Before Duan Ling Tian could react, a vine had already pierced the bodies of the two men.

Naturally, the two men had no time to react as well. Their smiles were still plastered on their faces after the vine pierced them.

‘How powerful!’ At this moment, Duan Ling Tian could sense the old man’s profound power. Up until now, the old man was the strongest person he had encountered.

“Thank you, senior.” Duan Ling Tian quickly thanked the old man as soon as he regained his senses. “Senior, the members of the Phantom Fox Clan might not know who killed them, but since they died near the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate, will this bring trouble to the mansion?”

“The Phantom Fox Clan in the Southern Heaven Territory isn’t a match for the Profound Nether Mansion. There’s no need to be afraid even if they come looking for trouble,” the old man replied indifferently.

Duan Ling Tian felt relieved upon hearing the old man’s words.

After that, the old man brought Duan Ling Tian with him and appeared near Huan’er who was currently looking at the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate.

“Huan’er!” Duan Ling Tian called out softly as his eyes gleamed with unconcealable excitement.
