“Are you threatening me?” Ji Fan looked incredulous. As the Arhat of the Blissful Sect, this was his first time being threatened.
“Well, you can consider it as a threat if you want. As the future Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect, you should be responsible for your words and actions… You might get yourself killed and bring trouble to the Blissful Sect,” Duan Ling Tian said confidently.
Li An’s expression soured as soon as he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He scoffed as he looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly and said, “Master Duan, are you saying that if Fan’er were to offend you, not only will you attack him, but you’ll attack the Blissful Sect as well?”
“The Blissful Sect must be held responsible as well since they have chosen him as the next sect leader,” Duan Ling Tian said, seemingly unafraid.
Li An stared at Duan Ling Tian intently, trying to read Duan Ling Tian’s expressions and movements. He was prepared to kill Duan Ling Tian if Duan Ling Tian were to show the slightest sign of lying. However, Duan Ling Tian remained poised and confident. Therefore, Li An did not attack Duan Ling Tian even though he did not 100% believe Duan Ling Tian was from the central area. In any case, it was better to be prudent. After all, if Duan Ling Tian was telling the truth, he would definitely bring disaster to the Blissful Sect if he killed Duan Ling Tian. Since it was just a slight conflict, it was better for him to just disregard this matter. In the end, he only scoffed and gave Duan Ling Tian a pointed look before he said, “Fan’er, let’s go!”
Then, Li An left with Ji Fan and the others from the Blissful Sect
“Grandmaster, do you really believe him?” Ji Fan asked, clearly frustrated.
“No.” Li An shook his head. “I don’t believe him… However, unless we’re certain he’s lying, it’s unnecessary to take the risk. I’ll send a Communication Celestial Talisman back to the sect and ask the sect leader to send someone to investigate his background. I’ll search through the entire Wasteland to find out everything about him if that’s what it takes! If he’s really from the Duan Clan of the Crimson Sky in the central area, then I’ll let the matter go. However, if I find out he’s lying, I’ll definitely kill him!” Li An said murderously, clearly enraged by Duan Ling Tian’s act of threatening Ji Fan!
Ji Fan’s eyes gleamed with killing intent as he turned back to look at Duan Ling Tian from afar. “I hope you’re not lying, Duan Ling Tian… Otherwise, once we find out the truth, you’ll die!”
…
After the people from the Blissful Sect left, the people from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect s.h.i.+fted their attention back to Duan Ling Tian. They were still in shock that Duan Ling Tian had such an extraordinary background!
“Master Duan, forgive us for being unaware of your ident.i.ty.” Chai Kong Yu and Jian Qiu Luo, the respective Sect Leaders of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, were even more courteous toward Duan Ling Tian now. Unlike Li An and Ji Fan, they did not doubt Duan Ling Tian’s words. After all, Duan Ling Tian was a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill and was also a profound Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial even though he had not reached the age of 100. These were remarkable feats! A person like him must be rare even in the central area of the Southern Heaven Territory. How could they not believe him?
At this moment, Chai Kong Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up when he noticed something in the distance. “Master Duan, Senior He Shan, Sect Leader Jian, I see some of my acquaintances, I’m going over to greet them. Farewell.” He quickly excused himself and left with his disciples.
Then, one of the prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect said, “Sect leader, the people from the Compa.s.sionate Celestial Traveler Sect are here.”
A group of ten people, comprised of women, had just arrived in the Alchemy Square. The leader was a beautiful woman. Standing at her back were three old women, two middle-aged women, three young women, and a young girl. The young girl who was dressed in a green robe began to look around curiously as soon as they arrived.
At this moment, Huan’er suddenly asked, “Brother Ling Tian… Isn’t that the girl I met previously?”
“Yes.”
The green-clad girl was none other than Lyu Luo, a disciple of the Compa.s.sionate Celestial Traveler Sect. Previously, she had visited the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s temporary residence in Alchemy City to verify that Huan’er was, indeed, more beautiful than Murong Bing, her senior sister.
Meanwhile, He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Situ Ming, and Yang Chong had seen Lyu Luo as well.
“It’s that young miss…” Yang Chong smiled wryly.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was staring at the young woman who was standing next to Lyu Luo. The young woman seemed to be engrossed in a conversation with Lyu Luo. The woman wore a simple purple robe. Her eyebrows were perfectly arched, and her skin was radiant and unblemished. She had a wasp waist as well. She wore a translucent veil to cover the lower half of her face, but her bright eyes and elegant air were enough to make the surroundings pale in comparison. The translucent veil on her face that barely concealed her appearance filled men with the urge to remove it. She was so charming and beautiful even with the veil on, one could only imagine how much more beautiful she would be if she took her veil off.
‘It’s her!’ With just a glance, Duan Ling Tian instantly recognized Murong Bing, a disciple of the Compa.s.sionate Celestial Traveler Sect and the woman whom he had s.e.x with before. She was dressed exactly the same as when he first met her.
Meanwhile, Murong Bing who was talking to Lyu Luo felt Duan Ling Tian’s eyes on her. She turned to look at him, and their eyes met. A tingling sensation akin to a jolt of electricity ran through her body. She unconsciously stopped in her tracks.
‘Third Senior Sister?’ Lyu Luo knew something was amiss when she discovered Murong Bing had suddenly stopped moving. She followed the direction of Murong Bing’s gaze and discovered Duan Ling Tian and Murong Bing staring at each other.
‘That’s why she’s distracted… It’s all because of this womanizer!’ Lyu Luo thought to herself. After learning about what happened, she was of the opinion that Duan Ling Tian was irresponsible, unreliable, and had failed his duty as a man.
It did not take long before the Sect Leader of the Compa.s.sionate Celestial Traveler Sect, who was in the lead, discovered Murong Bing and Lyu Luo had stopped moving. She looked at them and asked in confusion, “Hm? Bing’er, Lyu Luo, why aren’t you…” She trailed off when she saw the expression on Murong Bing’s face. She had seen this expression before on the face of her twin sister, who was also Murong Bing’s mother. Her sister would have this expression whenever she thought about the man she loved. She followed the direction of Murong Bing’s gaze and saw Duan Ling Tian.
‘It’s him!’ The Sect Leader of the Compa.s.sionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s expression changed drastically as soon as she saw Duan Ling Tian. She did not expect to see the man from the portrait that she had previously seen. She had sent an elder to kill this man previously for defiling her beloved niece. The elder who had returned to the sect after failing her mission had shown her a portrait of the man and told her his name was Duan Ling Tian. ‘No wonder I found the name Duan Ling Tian familiar. He’s the one who took Bing’er’s virginity. So he’s the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!’ She had already heard about Duan Ling Tian, and now that she had seen the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect with him, it was not difficult to figure out he was the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect who had recently become famous in Alchemy City!
