Chapter 1365: Di Batian Returns


Western Desert’s Ziling Sect.


This was an organization built by Xiang Yangzhan. After his disappearance, the sect went through several twists and turns before returning to Xiang Shaoyun’s hands. However, news that Xiang Shaoyun was a devil was rapidly spreading throughout the dominion. The Ziling Sect had naturally received the news as well.


Xiang Shaoyun had killed a large number of Saints at the Heavenly Snow Mountain, including several Great Saints. Thus, the organizations behind the dead Saints naturally wanted to destroy the Ziling Sect to vent their anger.


Of all the organizations who had set their eyes on the Ziling Sect, the Di Clan had the most desire to take over the sect. They were about to leave their seclusion, and they needed a territory to serve as their springboard. As the Ziling Sect was located beside the Buried Monarch Mountain Range, its location was ideal for the Di Clan. That was why they had decided to take over the Ziling Sect.


This time, Di Batian, Di Lin, and Di Mie had arrived with a group of people, prepared to regain control over the Ziling Sect. Prior to their attack, they first had news spread that Xiang Shaoyun was a devil. That way, chaos would erupt in Ziling City and the Ziling Sect.


If their young sect master was a devil, weren’t they all devil collaborators? Pang Tongyuan immediately had the people spreading the rumor arrested. However, the rumor continued spreading uncontrollably. More and more people believed that it was true, and they could no longer stop it from spreading.


The Ziling Sect elders hurriedly called a meeting to discuss a solution and determine if the rumor was true. As the young sect madam, Tuoba Wan’er was furious upon hearing the rumor. She immediately ordered a prohibition on the rumor, with those caught spreading the rumor were to be punished with execution.


The firm way she dealt with the rumor caused the Ziling Sect elders to look at her in a new light. Unfortunately, they still had to face the truth. When Xiang Keren, Xiang Feidian, and Xiang Chenxi returned, they could no longer hide the news. Instead of returning to the Xiang Clan, the three informed Tuoba Wan’er and Xiang Chenge of Xiang Shaoyun’s death. They did not know what to do about it.


“You’re all lying to me! How can the holy son-in-law be a devil?” Tuoba Wan’er was in denial.


“We hoped so as well, but we saw with our own eyes that the little ancestor can use the Imperial Nether Clan abilities. Many people saw it as well. There is no way to fake it,” said Xiang Keren bitterly.


“Where is he? Why hasn’t he returned?” asked Tuoba Wan’er.


Xiang Keren hesitated and said, “H-he might not be able to return anymore.”


Tuoba Wan’er nearly fainted. She forced herself to calm down and said, “Impossible. The holy son-in-law is capable of miracles. n.o.body can take his life. I’m going to the Northern Border to search for him!”


“Young madam, please calm down. A G.o.d Realm expert and a G.o.d Realm dragon are there. We were all forced to leave,” said Xiang Feidian.


“G.o.d Realm expert? I’ll have my grandpa go instead!” said Tuoba Wan’er as she ignored the Xiang Clan people and rushed toward the teleportation formation. She wanted to invite her grandpa out of seclusion and have him help rescue Xiang Shaoyun.


At this time, numerous people from the Ziling Sect’s subsidiary organizations arrived. They all wanted to find out more about Xiang Shaoyun and verify if he was really a devil, as was rumored.


To be precise, these subsidiary organizations were trying to take this chance to create chaos and regain their freedom. They had never been willing subsidiaries of the Ziling Sect. Unfortunately for them, they were completely unaware that the Ziling Sect was very different from the past. As Xiang Feidian was already in a bad mood, those from the subsidiary organizations became a target of his beating.


As a first-stage Heaven Battling Realm cultivator, Xiang Feidian’s saintly aura shocked everyone present. Xiang Keren also showed himself, instantly causing all the subsidiary organizations to cower.


“Ziling Sect, I, Di Batian, have returned!” Suddenly, Di Batian’s group appeared.


In the Ziling Sect, Di Batian’s name carried a lot of weight. After failing to retake the sect the previous time he had returned, he would not accept failure this time. Not only had he reached seventh-stage Heaven Battling Realm, but he also had a Great Saint with him. He believed that the Ziling Sect would have no way of stopping his advance.


“Di Batian has returned! Is he trying to retake the sect again?”


“He brought quite a number of people with him. Looks like this won’t end peacefully.”


“Di Batian has returned right when the sect is filled with all sorts of rumors. Is this intentional?”


“He suffered defeat the previous time he returned. This time, he won’t be able to get anything done either.”



Sounds of discussion broke out throughout the Ziling Sect.


“Who dares to intrude upon the Ziling Sect?” Xiang Chenge flew out with Xiang Keren and Xiang Feidian.


Xiang Chenge was no weaker than Di Batian. After all, he was the initial guardian sent by the Xiang Clan to protect the Ziling Sect.


At this time, the turtle and the toad flew out as well. When they saw Di Batian, the turtle shouted, “Old taurus’ killer has returned!”


“We must not let him escape alive this time!” said the toad overbearingly.


“Wait, they seem pretty strong. We might not be a match,” said the turtle.


“If that is the case, we should lie low for now. We’ll come out again when we have the strength to beat them,” said the toad, immediately cowering.


“They should be Xiang Clan members,” said Di Lin.


“Since when had the Xiang Clan taken over the Ziling Sect?” asked Di Batian in astonishment.


He had long known that Xiang Yangzhan came from the Xiang Clan, but he also knew that Xiang Yangzhan was hostile to it. Had the Xiang Clan taken over the Ziling Sect prior to his arrival?


“They stood beside Xiang Shaoyun at the Heavenly Snow Mountain,” said Di Lin.


Di Batian nodded. He looked at Xiang Chenge and said, “I don’t care who you are. p.i.s.s off. I, Di Batian, am hereby retaking the Ziling Sect under my control. Xiang Shaoyun is a devil. Ziling Sect members, open your eyes.”


He then took out his recording crystal and displayed everything Xiang Shaoyun had done at the Heavenly Snow Mountain.


“You’re courting death!” Xiang Chenge was naturally unwilling to see news of Xiang Shaoyun being a devil spread. He immediately attacked, but before he could touch the crystal, a powerful force shot toward him.


The attack struck him and sent him cras.h.i.+ng heavily into a distant mountain, creating a cloud of dust. When Xiang Keren and Xiang Feidian sensed the aura of a Great Saint, they grew anxious.


“Those who submit will be spared. Everyone else will be slaughtered,” said Di Batian coldly.
