Chapter 3426: Meng Luo Attacks
After Lian Qiu finished speaking, he brought out the Formation compa.s.s that Duan Ling Tian had given him and hastily activated it to return to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.
The Formation compa.s.s was, in fact, given to Duan Ling Tian by Elder Huo. It could transport one back to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven no matter where one was. Apart from that, after the Formation compa.s.s had acknowledged an owner, it would be useless for others to possess it since it would self-destruct upon the death of its owner.

Before the middle-aged man could respond, Lian Qiu had vanished along with Du Xuan. When he learned that there were two t.i.tled Celestial Emperors from the Luo River Sect who had come to the Saint Province Realm, a sense of danger rose in his heart immediately. Therefore, he no longer dared to waste time and immediately used the Formation compa.s.s to leave the Saint Province Realm. If the t.i.tled Celestial Emperors arrived before he left, it would be too late for him and his wife to escape if the two t.i.tled Celestial Emperors intended to kill them.
Not long after Lian Qiu and Du Xuan left through the Formation compa.s.s, an old man appeared, seemingly out of thin air. He glared at the two middle-aged men as he asked, “Where are they?”
One of the middle-aged men said with a bitter smile, “Elder Xiu, they left through a Formation compa.s.s…”
“Elder Xiu, one of them said they came here to relax. Since they’re not from the Saint Province Realm, it’s not necessary to kill them, right?” the other middle-aged man asked tentatively.
“What? Just because he said he’s not from the Saint Province Realm, you believe him so easily?” The old man looked at the two middle-aged men as though they were fools. “There are so many mundane realms; do you really think it’s just a coincidence that they were here? There must be a reason they were here. It’s likely that they came from the Saint Province Realm.”
After a pause, the old man said with a frown, “However, it’s rather strange. Why did both of them run away if they’re stronger than both of you?” In his opinion, if Lian Qiu and Du Xuan were from the Saint Province Realm, they should have killed the two middle-aged men when they discovered the Luo River Sect’s objective.
The middle-aged man who had spoken first earlier froze for a moment before he said sheepishly, “It must be because we mentioned that two t.i.tled Celestial Emperors led us here…”
The other middle-aged man nodded as he chimed in, “That’s right. Although that man is powerful, he’s not a t.i.tled Celestial Emperor…”
“Since they left in such a hurry, they must be afraid we’d come over and kill them,” the old man said with a scoff. Clearly, he was one of the two t.i.tled Celestial Emperors who had led the members of the Luo River Sect to the Saint Province Realm.
“Hurry up and kill every living thing you encounter. If those two call for reinforcement, it’ll be troublesome. If we return to ask for help, the Saint Girl and the Sect Leader will definitely blame us for our incompetence…” the old man said in a grave tone.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, the two middle-aged men hurriedly moved to carry out their duties.
Following that, the old man sent a message to the others to inform them of the matter.
With that, the Saint Province Realm suffered an unprecedented calamity. Blood flowed like rivers as its inhabitants were ruthlessly and brutally ma.s.sacred by the members of the Luo River Sect who seemed so invincible that even Martial Emperors and other powerful sectless cultivators were easily killed within seconds.
…
After Lian Qiu and Du Xuan left the Saint Province Realm, they arrived at the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.
The person guarding the Formation was stunned by their sudden appearance.
“May I ask for your names?”
Since this Formation was only exclusive to those who possessed the unique Formation compa.s.ses of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, the guard was naturally courteous toward Lian Qiu and Du Xuan.
“Sir, is this the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven?” Lian Qiu asked.
“Yes.” The t.i.tled Celestial Emperor guarding the Formation was confused by Lian Qiu’s question. He did not understand why the man in front of him would ask such a stupid question.
“Sir, I’m here to look for your Young Master, Duan Ling Tian. I’m his… It’s okay. I’ll send him a message now,” Lian Qiu said. Initially, he planned to reveal his ident.i.ty so the guard would bring him to Duan Ling Tian. However, he thought it would be quicker if he personally sent a message to Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian who was in the midst of cultivating was interrupted by Lian Qiu’s sudden message. Flames of fury danced in his eyes when he heard of what the Luo River Sect was doing.
“That d.a.m.ned Luo River Sect!”
Although Duan Ling Tian had expected the Heavenly Emperor of the Luo River Heaven to come looking for him for revenge, he did not expect her to be so crazy as to order her men to wipe out all the living things in the Saint Province Realm. After all, the Saint Province Realm was just a small mundane realm, it should not attract any attention at all from a Heavenly Emperor of a Devata Realm. Naturally, he knew this was because he had killed the soul of the person who possessed Mu Yi Yi. The soul belonged to the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor of the Luo River Heaven and the twin sister of the Saint Girl of the Luo River Sect.
“It’s imperative to stop them at once… I should ask Senior Meng Luo for help.” After Duan Ling Tian calmed down, he sent a message to the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor, Meng Luo, instead of Elder Huo, while he was on his way to meet Lian Qiu and Du Xuan.
As soon as the t.i.tled Celestial Emperor guarding the Formation saw Duan Ling Tian, he hastily bowed. “Young Master.”
Since Duan Ling Tian had spent some time in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, most of the members of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven were aware of Duan Ling Tian’s ident.i.ty as the only true disciple of their Heavenly Emperor.
“Seniors, I’ll bring you to my residence. I’ve arranged for a place for both of you to stay. Don’t worry about the Saint Province Realm; I’ll deal with the matter immediately,” Duan Ling Tian said before leading the couple back to his residence.
Duan Ling Tian did not bring them into his Little World because Huan’er had told him not to expose his Little World to her parents. With the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements, if word got out about them, even Feng Qing Yang might not be able to protect him. Although Huan’er trusted her mother, she was still wary of her father since she had not met him until recently. She did not want to take the risk of exposing Duan Ling Tian’s biggest secret, hence, she told Duan Ling Tian to keep his Little World a secret until she was certain she could trust her father. If something happened to Duan Ling Tian because of her, she would never forgive herself. Since Huan’er was adamant, there was nothing Duan Ling Tian could do. Moreover, he was moved when he saw that she prioritized his safety above all things. Although she knew the cultivation environment in his Little World was comparable to that of a Realm of G.o.ds and would greatly benefit her parents, she still decided to keep it a secret from them due to his safety.
Before Duan Ling Tian left, Lian Qiu solemnly said, “The Luo River Sect is the Heavenly Palace of the Luo River Heaven. You must proceed with caution…”
“Rest a.s.sured, Senior Lian Qiu. I know what to do,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a nod.
After bidding farewell to Lian Qin and Du Xuan, Duan Ling Tian left to meet the muscular Meng Luo, the strongest t.i.tled Celestial Emperor under Feng Qing Yang’s command.
“Senior Meng Luo, I’m sorry to have to trouble you with this matter,” Duan Ling Tian grimly said as he looked at Meng Luo, “We have to hurry to the Saint Province Realm. I’m afraid they’ll successfully kill all living things in the Saint Province Realm if we’re late…”
“Young Master, even if you didn’t ask for my help, I wouldn’t have stayed idle,” Meng Luo said as his eyes blazed in anger, “Our Lord Heavenly Emperor comes from the Saint Province Realm, and he spoke about it often in the past. It’s clear that he’s fond of the Saint Province Realm. How can I forgive those who want to destroy the Saint Province Realm? After we deal with this, I’ll personally visit the Luo River Sect. How dare a Seven Star G.o.d of War provokes our Lord Heavenly Emperor?”
When Duan Ling Tian arrived in the Saint Province Realm, he hid in Meng Luo’s Little World. He did not intend to show himself since it would expose the matter with Mu Yi Yi. Since it seemed like the Heavenly Emperor of the River Luo Heaven had lost her mind over the loss of her daughter, he was afraid that even Meng Luo might not be able to protect him.
