Chapter 2386 Anger
“How’s this possible?” When the Old Prophet heard that the successors of the Kratos Progeny and the Dark Shadow Progeny had died, his face became pale and his eyes became dull. After he had set up the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation and the successors went into it, he could no longer clearly divine their fates. However, he did not expect that two of the successors would die just when all the current successors of the Seven Absolutes Sect were about to gather. How was it possible now?
Tears streamed down Han Xue Nai’s face again. Her eyes were swollen and red as she said, “Senior Uncle Prophet… M-my master is dead well!”
“What?” The Old Prophet trembled when he heard Han Xue Nai’s words. His eyes flashed fiercely as he asked in a low voice, “What happened actually? How did your master die?” He had already found the deaths of Gu Li and Yue Wu Ying unacceptable, and now, he received another blow again when he found out that Han Xue Nai’s master had died as well.
“Who did it? Is it the people from the Black Kshetra Sect or the Heaven Divination Sect?” The Old Prophet asked. His eyes were filled with anger when he spoke.
“I don’t know…” Han Xue Nai replied in anguish, “Before my master died, she sent me a message to inform me about Gu Li and Yue Wu Ying’s deaths. Apart from that, she also asked me to remind Brother Ling Tian to be careful… It seems like the person who killed my master is searching for Brother Ling Tian. She was killed because she refused to disclose Brother Ling Tian’s location… Gu Li and Yue Wu Ying were also killed by this person. My master said she wasn’t sure about the person’s background, but he’s an extremely strong Bodiless Celestial.” At this point, her legs weakened and she slumped to the ground.
“Xue Nai!”
“Xue Nai!”
Two peerlessly beautiful ladies with graceful figures cried out in unison and flew forward to support Han Xue Nai. These two ladies were none other than Ke’er and Feng Tian Wu.
Duan Ling Tian was present as well, he had been silently listening as Han Xue Nai recounted what had happened. At this moment, he finally spoke up, “Since he’s a Bodiless Celestial, I’m certain this matter has nothing to do with the Black Kshetra Sect and the Heaven Divination Sect…” He knew very well that there were no Bodiless Celestials in the Black Kshetra Sect and the Heaven Divination Sect. His eyes were lit with anger as he said through gritted teeth, “Since that person’s looking for me… It can only be those people!”
An expression of confusion appeared on the Old Prophet’s face. “Those people?”
“Master, are you saying that person is from the dragon clan?” Chen Yi Ru who was standing at the side could not help but ask after he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.
“Apart from them, who else can it be?” The flames of anger in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes intensified to the point where it seemed it could burn everything into ashes. How could he not be angry? He had a close relations.h.i.+p with his senior brother, Gu Li, and there was no doubt Gu Li had died because of him. As for Yue Wu Ying and Han Xue Nai’s master, the former successor of the Red Dust Progeny, although he was not close to them, they were still members of the Seven Absolutes Sect after all. He found it difficult to suppress the rage in his heart when he thought about how these people had died because of him!
Everyone present widened their eyes in shock when they heard this. “Dragon clan?”
Although not all of them knew that the three great sects had the support of the dragon and phoenix clans, all of them knew that the dragon clan had Bodiless Celestials. When word about Di Chen, a Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the dragon clan, was forced to kneel and kowtow to the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, it had inadvertently revealed the existence of Bodiless Celestials in the dragon clan. Moreover, many people had heard Di Chen’s threatening words about his father to Duan Ling Tian in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. For this reason, many people knew there was also a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the dragon clan!
“You’re saying the person who killed Xue Nai’s master, Gu Li, and Yue Wu Ying is from the dragon clan? They did it because of Di Chen, and they were killed because they refused to reveal your location?” Although the Old Prophet’s cultivation base was not as high as the others, he had much more experience compared to them. Therefore, it was not difficult for him to figure out what happened.
“Although I’m not completely certain, I’m more than 90% certain that three deaths are related to the Di Chen and the dragon clan!” Duan Ling Tian said as his eyes flashed coldly, “They must have been killed by Di Chen or his father. I think it’s more likely that it’s his father since Di Chen knows he’s no match for me so he won’t dare to act so arrogantly and look for me.”
“Brother Ling Tian!” Han Xue Nai looked at Duan Ling Tian with eyes that were filled with pain, but a hopeful expression could be seen on her face as well. “Please avenge my master on my behalf! Please!” As she spoke, tears of grief streamed down her face again.
Duan Ling Tian’s heart ached when he saw the state Han Xue Nai was in. He recalled when he first met Han Xue Nai, she was just a carefree young girl. However, now she had experienced pain akin to losing her parents. His heart burned with flames of rage when he thought about all this. He muttered under his breath, “Dragon clan… I won’t forget this enmity between us!” He had decided to avenge the three people not only because he was close to one of them, but also because of his ident.i.ty as the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect. These people were members of the Seven Absolutes Sect, and he would not let their deaths go unavenged. Even if the dragon clan was dangerous territory, he would still tread on it. As much as he wanted to charge into the dragon clan and slaughter everyone now, he knew it was not wise. It was only akin to committing suicide. Let alone those powerhouses who were stronger than Di Chen’s father who might be Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, he was currently not even a match for Di Chen’s father.
“Senior Uncle Old Prophet,” Duan Ling Tian looked at the Old Prophet and said in a low voice, “I wanted to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone now… Please give me the key to the Sword Saint Secret Zone!” The Sword Saint Secret Zone was his best chance to raise his strength if he wanted to avenge Gu Li and the other two. Even if he managed to comprehend the fifth stage of the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method’s Sovereign Heart Sword, which was also the highest stage, his strength would only be comparable to a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Let alone an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, it would still be difficult for him to kill a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!
Based on the Old Prophet’s words, as long as he entered the Sword Saint Secret Zone and obtained the second part of Feng Qing Yang’s legacy, he would be able to become as strong as Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang. During his time, Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang could even kill an Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial and his strength was comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial even though he was only an Eminent Celestial!
‘At that time, Senior Feng Qing Yang didn’t even have the help of the a.s.sist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic. Even Senior Uncle Prophet didn’t expect me to be as strong as a Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial just by comprehending the fourth stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword! This means I don’t have to worry even if I’m not as strong as Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang even after I obtained the second legacy. If I use the Elementary Devouring Tactic, I’ll still be as strong or stronger than Senior Feng Qing Yang. At that time, I might even be able to kill a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!’ These thoughts appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind, making him eager to enter the Sword Saint Secret Zone. If he was lucky, after he exited the Sword Saint Secret Zone, he would be able to destroy the dragon clan effortlessly.
After the Old Prophet heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he hesitated for a moment before he implored, “Please wait for another three months… After three months, if that little girl hasn’t come back, we don’t have to wait for her anymore. I’ll give you the key at that time and all of you can enter at that time!” Naturally, the little girl he mentioned was his direct disciple, the current successor of the Prophet Progeny!
