War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3804: Who Is It?

The sudden Voice Transmission caused Duan Ling Tian’s heart to sink immediately. Who dared to threaten him with Linghu Ren Jie’s life?

‘Who is it?’ Duan Ling Tian looked to the left and right, trying to find the source of the Voice Transmission. Alas, he did not find anything out of the ordinary.

Due to it being a Voice Transmission, it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to pinpoint the direction of the other party.

Following that, another Voice Transmission rang in his ears.

“Stop looking. I can see you, but you can’t see me.”

Since Duan Ling Tian did not know the sender of the Voice Transmission, there was no way for him to reply to the Voice Transmission. As a result, his expression soured immediately.

‘Who is it? Is he being serious or is he just bluffing? They expect me to give up ranking in the top ten just because of a Voice Transmission?’

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian inhaled deeply before he sent a Voice Transmission to Dongfang Yan Nian to inform Dongfang Yan Nian about what had happened.

Dongfang Yan Nian’s expression changed immediately as soon as he heard Duan Ling Tian’s Voice Transmission.

Although the Latent Dragon Grand Contest was not a big event in the Flying Dragon Sect, it was important to the sect. Moreover, threatening a new disciple was a direct challenge to the Flying Dragon Sect.

After confirming the details with Duan Ling Tian again, Dongfang Yan Nian did not hesitate and informed Lan Yu Shan, a Black Elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, about the matter immediately.

After Lan Yu Shan, who was in charge of the Latent Dragon Grand Contest, heard Dongfang Yan Nian’s Voice Transmission, his expression darkened. Then, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked, “Duan Ling Tian, are you telling the truth? You have to be responsible for your words.”

“Elder Lan, if you don’t believe me, I’m willing to swear on the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

Even if Duan Ling Tian did not swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath loudly and did it inwardly, it would still take effect. After all, Realms of Gods were Little Worlds of supreme powerhouses. It was only natural that supreme powerhouses would be privy to everything in their Little Worlds.

One could swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath for anything. As long as one was honest, nothing would happen. Only disaster awaited those who broke their oaths.

With these words, Lan Yu Shan no longer doubted Duan Ling Tian. His Divine Consciousness immediately swept out into the surroundings.

Since the other party was able to send a Voice Transmission without being discovered by Duan Ling Tian, this meant that the other party’s cultivation base was higher than Duan Ling Tian’s. It also meant that the other party was a rudimentary Lord of Gods at least.

There were quite a few Lords of Gods present. In addition to the elders of the Flying Dragon Sect, there were also the high-ranking officials of the various forces and guardians of some of the participants.

While Lan Yu Shan was searching with his Divine Consciousness, another Voice Transmission rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears.

“It’s useless for you to tell Lan Yu Shan about this. I already left so he won’t be able to find me. I’m not bluffing. If you don’t want Linghu Ren Jie to die, you better not rank in the top ten of the Latent Dragon Grand Contest.”

Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grim upon hearing this Voice Transmission. The other party was quick to notice Lan Yu Shan’s action and had left. After inhaling deeply, he informed Lan Yu Shan about the latest Voice Transmission.

With this, Lan Yu Shan stopped searching with his Divine Consciousness. In just a moment, he appeared next to Duan Ling Tian.

Except for Dongfang Yan Nian, everyone was shocked as they watched Lan Yu Shan bring Duan Ling Tian away.

From the beginning until the end, Lan Yu Shan did not say a single word.

With this, the crowd naturally broke out in a commotion.

“What’s going on?”

“Duan Ling Tian?!”

Needless to say, Hou Qing Ning, Ding Yan, Linghu Huan, and the others sent Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian to check on him.

“I’m fine. Elder Lan just wants to speak to me privately about something,” Duan Ling Tian replied to them.

At the same time, Dongfang Yan Nian followed Lan Yu Shan and Duan Ling Tian and came to a stop at the top of a small mountain.

Lan Yu Shan did not say anything when he saw Dongfang Yan Nian. Instead, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said in a deep voice, “This is an important matter. Swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath in front of me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to trust you completely.”

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed briefly. He did not swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath immediately. Instead, he asked Dongfang Yan Nian which faction Lan Yu Shan belonged to in the Flying Dragon Sect. He wanted to know if Lan Yu Shan belonged to the 10,000 Devils faction in the Flying Dragon Sect. After all, Kuang Tian Zheng, a member of the 10,000 Devils faction in the Flying Dragon Sect, was determined to kill him.

“Elder Lan doesn’t belong to any faction. He joined the Flying Dragon Sect directly when he was young due to his extraordinary talent.”

The most powerful faction was naturally the Flying Dragon Sect’s own faction. Its members were mostly those who joined the sect when they were young or those who were born or raised in the sect. Their members were also the strongest members of the Flying Dragon Sect.

After listening to Dongfan Yan Nian’s reply, Duan Ling Tian no longer hesitated and swore on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath in front of Lan Yu Shan.

Lan Yu Shan’s expression turned terrifyingly gloomy after Duan Ling Tian swore on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath.

Duan Ling Tian sighed before he asked, “Elder Lan, what should I do next? I’m not sure if the other party is bluffing or serious. Linghu Ren Jie, the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan, is very kind to me. I really don’t want him to be affected by my matter.”

Lan Yu Shan inhaled deeply before he said coldly, “Ignore that person. Does the other party’s voice sound familiar to you?”

“No,” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said, “However, we can change our voices when using Voice Transmission.”

“Do you have any enemies in the Flying Dragon Sect?” Lan Yu Shan asked again. In his opinion, the other party was from the Flying Dragon Sect as well since the other person was present at the Flaming Dragon Arena. This also meant that the other party was at least an inner disciple if the other party was from the Flying Dragon Sect. However, if it was just an inner disciple, he would have easily found the other party. Apart from that, he knew Linghu Ren Jie was a rudimentary Lord of Gods. For the other party to threaten Duan Ling Tian with Linghu Ren Jie’s life, the other party had to be strong enough to kill Linghu Ren Jie.

“I do.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“Who?” Lan Yu Shan asked curtly.

“Kuang Tian Zheng, an inner elder of the sect,” Duan Ling Tian replied. He briefly spoke about his conflict with Kuang Tian Zheng to Lan Yu Shan. However, he did not admit to killing Chu Han, Kuang Tian Zheng’s disciple; that would not be advantageous to him. After all, when he killed Chu Han, he was not yet a disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect while Chu Han was a disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect.

Lan Yu Shan frowned slightly. Then, he asked, “Is there anyone else apart from him?”

“Well, there’s the former Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect. I don’t know his name. I only know that he has enmity with Elder Xue Hai Chuan because Elder Xue Hai Chuan’s brother, Xue Hai Shan, killed his son in the past. For that reason, he left the Hidden Fog Sect and joined the Flying Dragon Sect. I once met Xue Hai Shan in the Hidden Fog Sect’s Heavenly Stairs and spared his life. I don’t know if he holds a grudge against me for sparing Xue Hai Shan’s life. Moreover, I’ve met up with Elder Xue Hai Chuan and his brother as well; we’re friends,” Duan Ling Tian said. After a brief pause, he added, “However, I think the culprit is most likely Kuang Tian Zheng.”

Lan Yu Shan shook his head and said, “It can’t be Kuang Tian Zheng. I spoke to the elder patrolling the Flaming Dragon Arena. That elder’s cultivation base isn’t lower than that of Kuang Tian Zheng. If Kuang Tian Zheng were present earlier, that elder would’ve detected him even if he hid his presence.”

After that, Lan Yu Shan speculated out loud, “Perhaps, it’s the elders of one of the participants. After all, if you give up ranking in the top ten, it’d benefit their disciple.”

Although Lan Yu Shan’s words make sense, Duan Ling Tian could not help but ask, “Is it possible that the other party is someone who supports Kuang Tian Zheng? Someone stronger than him?”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the eyes of Dongfang Yan Nian, who was standing behind Lan Yu Shan, widened.

On the other hand, Lan Yu Shan looked at Duan Ling Tian silently for a long time before he finally said, “There’s only one person supporting Kuang Tian Zheng who’s capable of escaping the patrolling elder’s notice. That person could have personally sent you the Voice Transmission or he could’ve sent a Black Dragon Elder to do that. Regardless, you should know who it is, right?”

Duan Ling Tian remained silent upon hearing Lan Yu Shan’s words. After all, he could not possibly say that he suspected the culprit was Vice Sect Leader Xue of the Flying Dragon Sect. In the end, he could only ask, “Elder Lan, is it possible for you to use a Mirror Image Formation to find out who has been sneaking around the Flaming Dragon Arena earlier?”

Previously, this was how Duan Ling Tian was discovered to have left the Linghu clan’s estate. An elder saw him leaving when rewatching a Mirror Image Formation.

“I’ve already looked into this,” Lan Yu Shan said, “No one suspicious was found near the Flaming Dragon Arena before and after I took you away. This means the other party was in the arena. Apart from me and the two White Dragon Elders, there are more than a dozen inner elders present. None of them belong to the 10,000 Devils faction or have anything to do with it. This means the other party has to be from an outside force. Among the powerful Lords of Gods from outside forces, there are intermediate Lords of Gods such as the Sect Leader of the Eastern Oriental Sect. However, I don’t think the culprit is the Sect Leader of the Eastern Oriental Sect. The culprit is likely someone who has no confidence in their disciple or descendant and had to resort to threatening you, in hopes of intimidating you.”

“The other party hopes to intimidate me?”

After listening to Lan Yu Shan’s analysis and confirming the Mirror Image Formation had been checked, Duan Ling Tian felt slightly more at ease.
