War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3744 Linghu Ren Jie Deals With Kuang Tian Zheng Perfunctorily

Although the elder from the Linghu clan could tell Kuang Tian Zheng was not an ordinary person, he was still shocked to learn that Kuang Tian Zheng was an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, the emperor-rank sect above the Linghu clan.

“Greetings, Lord Kuang,” the elder said as he and his subordinates bowed. He did not doubt Kuang Tian Zheng’s identity at all since few would dare to impersonate an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect. Moreover, coupled with the lord-grade flying ship, he was convinced the other party was not lying. After a brief moment, he asked curiously, “Lord Kuang, may I ask what brings you here to the Linghu clan?”

“I’m here to meet your clan leader, Linghu Ren Jie!” Kuang Tian Zheng said indifferently.

As an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, Kuang Tian Zheng’s status was naturally higher than that of Linghu Ren Jie. Hence, when Linghu Ren Jie learned of Kuang Tian Zheng’s visit, he came out immediately to welcome Kuang Tian Zheng.

To become an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, one had to be an extraordinary intermediate Lord of Gods at least. Such a person was considered not bad in the Flying Dragon Sect, alone the Linghu clan.

“Elder Tian Zheng, please come in,” Linghu Ren Jie said as he made an inviting gesture to Kuang Tian Zheng. The elder of the Linghu clan might not have heard of Kuang Tian Zheng’s name,but Linghu Ren Jie most definitely had heard of Kuang Tian Zheng.

The members of the 10,000 Devils faction in the Flying Dragon Sect all came from the 10,000 Devils Sect. Although the Linghu faction and the 10,000 Devils faction did not have any enmity between them, they were still competitors in the Flying Dragon Sect, after all. Nonetheless, Linghu Ren Jie did not dare to be negligent. No matter what, Kuang Tian Zheng was an intermediate Lord of Gods and an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, after all.

Kuang Tian Zheng did not plan to enter the Linghu clan’s estate so he said tonelessly and bluntly, “That’s not necessary. I only came for one reason.”

“What is it?” Linghu Ren Jie asked in confusion. What would an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect need from the Linghu clan? Whatever it was, he was certain it would not be anything good for Kuang Tian Zheng to suddenly show up.

“I came because I need to borrow a member of yours, Clan Leader Linghu,” Kuang Tian Zheng said with a smile.

“What do you mean, Elder Tian Zheng? Please be direct,” Linghu Ren Jie said with a wry smile.

“I want to bring Duan Ling Tian away,” Kuang Tian Zheng said as he looked at Linghu Ren Jie meaningfully.

Linghu Ren Jie would not have thought much about it if Kuang Tian Zheng had asked for another person. However, Duan Ling Tian had just arrived at the Linghu clan not too long ago, but Kuang Tian Zheng had already come looking for Duan Ling Tian. He could not help but wonder if the Hidden Fog Sect had a hand in Kuang Tian Zheng’s visit and demand.

After thinking about it again, Linghu Ren Jie thought it was impossible. The rivalry between the Hidden Fog Sect and the 10,000 Devils Sect started many years ago and did not show signs of easing. Their hatred ran so deep that their respective factions in the Flying Dragon Sect did not let go of any chances to find fault with each other. Under such circumstances, how could Kuang Tian Zheng come on behalf of the Hidden Fog Sect? “Elder Kuang Tian Zheng, may I ask why?” Linghu Ren Jie asked when he regained his senses. At the same time, he sent a message to Duan Ling Tian and asked, “Duan Ling Tian, do you know why Kuang Tian Zheng, an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, came for you?”

Upon hearing Linghu Ren Jie’s words, Duan Ling Tian quickly deduced that Kuang Tian Zheng must be here because he had killed Chu Han in the Divine Sanctuary left behind by an Emperor of Gods. He knew that Kuang Tian Zheng was Chu Han’s master and also the senior brother of Du Qian Jun’s grandfather.

Duan Ling Tian did not intend to hide the truth from Linghu Ren Jie so he recounted what happened to Linghu Ren Jie. After all, he did not explain things properly, Linghu Ren Jie might think there was no harm in letting Duan Ling Tian leave with Kuang Tian Zheng. Although Kuang Tian Zheng could not prove that he killed Chu Han, it was likely that Kuang Tian Zheng would kill him anyway. After all, it was better to err on the side of caution.

“What? You killed Kuang Tian Zheng’s disciple? From what I heard, Chu Han is his youngest and most beloved disciple. He treated Chu Han like his grandson.”

Linghu Ren Jie was naturally shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s confession. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be so domineering. Not only did Duan Ling Tian kill disciples of the two Supreme Elders from the Hidden Fog Sect, but he even killed the beloved disciple of an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect!

Needless to say, Kuang Tian Zheng was different from Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei of the Hidden Fog Sect. It was not only the difference in their status, but their strength as well. Even if the four Supreme Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect joined forces, they were no match for Kuang Tian Zheng. On the other hand, even if Linghu Ren Jie joined forces with the clan ancestor and the clan’s supreme elders, they would only be able to fight to a draw with Kuang Tian Zheng at most.

“I didn’t have a choice. It was either I kill him or I die,” Duan Ling Tian said.

Linghu Ren Jie no longer asked any questions. If he were in Duan Ling Tian’s shoes, he would have made the same choice. After a moment, he said, “Don’t worry. I’ll handle this.”

Meanwhile, Kuang Tian Zheng hesitated for a moment when he heard Linghu Ren Jie’s question. Then, he replied, “I came for Duan Ling Tian because I suspect he’s involved in the death of my disciple, Chu Han. I want to ask him how my disciple died.”

Kuang Tian Zheng’s eyes flashed coldly when he spoke. When he learned that Duan Ling Tian had killed Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao, he was almost 100% certain that Duan Ling Tian had killed his disciple. Hence, as soon as the Linghu clan handed Duan Ling Tian over to him, he would kill Duan Ling Tian after leaving the Linghu clan’s estate. Perhaps, if Duan Ling Tian did not confess to Linghu Ren Jie earlier, Linghu Ren Jie would have missed the fleeting flash of coldness in Kuang Tian Zheng’s gaze. He smiled faintly as he replied, “Elder Tian Zheng, I’ll ask Duan Ling Tian about this matter on your behalf.”

Then, without giving Kuang Tian Zheng a chance to speak, Linghu Ren Jie acted as though he was communicating with Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission. After a while, he looked at Kuang Tian Zheng and said, “Elder Tian Zheng, I’ve spoken to Duan Ling Tian. He said that he doesn’t know your disciple. Could you be mistaken, Elder Tian Zheng?”

“Clan Leader Linghu, it’s best if you summon him here so he can explain this himself,” Kuang Tian Zheng said. When he glanced at the Linghu clan’s estate behind Linghu Ren Jie, a hint of wariness could be seen in his eyes.

The Linghu clan used to have a monstrous genius in Formations in the past. That genius had laid a Guarding Formation in the Linghu clan’s estate. In the past, the Formation alone had killed three extraordinary rudimentary Lords of Gods that broke into the clan’s estate. Rumor had it that the Guarding Formation could severely injure intermediate Lords of Gods and injure advanced Lords of Gods.

For this reason, Kuang Tian Zheng did not charge into the Linghu clan’s estate to capture Duan Ling Tian. If Duan Ling Tian were in the Hidden Fog Sect, he would have directly charged into the sect. After all, the Hidden Fog Sect’s Four Supreme Elders and their Sect Guarding Formation were no threat to him. The Hidden Fog Sect had no experts in Formations so even the 10,000 Devils Sect’s Guarding Formation was stronger than that of the Hidden Fog Sect.

“Elder Tian Zheng, it’s inconvenient for Duan Ling Tian to come out,” Linghu Ren Jie said with a smile, “I’m sure you’ve heard about what happened in the Hidden Fog Sect, right? I’m afraid the Hidden Fog Sect might have people lurking outside our estate waiting for a chance to ambush Duan Ling Tian.” Kuang Tian Zheng opened his mouth to speak, but Linghu Ren Jie interjected, “Moreover, before my second younger sister left he had promised not to step out of the clan estate until it’s time for the Latent Dragon Grand Contest. Hence, as soon as he returned from the Hidden Fog Sect, he swore on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath to show his sincerity. This is why he can’t come out. Elder Tian Zheng, if you really wish to meet him, why don’t you follow me inside? I’ll summon him out for you.”

Kuang Tian Zheng’s expression turned unsightly as soon as he heard Linghu Ren Jie’s words. He naturally did not believe Linghu Ren Jie, but there was nothing he could do. He could not force Linghu Renjie to swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath. Although he could easily kill Linghu Ren Jie who was just a rudimentary Lord of Gods, it would not be without consequences. After all, Linghu Ren Jie’s grandfather was also in the Flying Dragon Sect. Most importantly, Linghu Ren Jie’s grandfather was superior to him.

“Alright then.”

Although Kuang Tian Zheng was wary of the Linghu clan’s Guarding Formation, he decided to enter the Linghu clan’s estate in the end. He was determined to meet and question Duan Ling Tian even if he could not kill Duan Ling Tian. Naturally, whether Duan Ling Tian was involved in Chu Han’s death or not, he did plan to give up on killing Duan Ling Tian. He was only temporarily putting the matter aside.

Duan Ling Tian had sent a message to Wu Feng who was in the Hidden Fog Sect. He had felt relieved when he saw that Wu Feng’s Soul Pearl was intact.
