Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
While Long Xiao feigned frustration over Duan Ling Tian’s misfortune, Duan Ling Tian only thought that Long Xiao looked like a jumping clown. He asked, “What do you mean?”
“Become my master’s disciple,” Long Xiao said as his eyes glinted when he saw the flash of interest in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes, “However, my master is one of the four Supreme Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect. Since you’d refused him, he won’t easily accept you again. Fortunately for you, there’s still a way. If
you kneel and kowtow starting from 10 miles away from my master’s residence to the entrance, he’ll definitely be moved by your sincerity and accept you as his disciple. I know him very well, after all. It’d be best if you don’t hold back when you kowtow and let your forehead bleed.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded expressionlessly and said, “T!l think about it.”
Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian was only playing along to prevent Long Xiao from causing any more trouble like Shangguan Xiong Feng did. From what Zhang Jin had said, although Long Xiao was slightly weaker than Shangguan Xiong Feng, he was still the top five strongest core disciples in the Hidden
Fog Sect. He was an intermediate King of G.o.ds capable of defeating ordinary advanced Kings of G.o.ds. Most importantly, Long Xiao’s master was one of the supreme elders. For all these reasons, he knew he would be at a disadvantage if he blindly opposed Long Xiao now.
“Alright, think about it,” Long Xiao nodded and said, “If you do as I suggested, you’ll definitely become my master’s disciple and my junior brother. At that time, I’ll ask Shangguan Xiong Feng to return the two Auspicious Pills to you.”
After Long Xiao left, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘It seems like my days in the sect will no longer be peaceful. I should leave the sect temporarily so they can’t look for trouble with me. I’m still too weak, after all. I’l return once I’m strong enough.’
With that, Duan Ling Tian left without even entering his residence. Before he left, he looked for Zhong Tian Nu and told him he needed the Auspicious Pills as soon as possible since he had something important to attend to.
Zhong Tian Nu was quick to convey the message.
Zhong Da then had sent one of his subordinates to pa.s.s the Auspicious Pill to Duan Ling Tian at the entrance of Skywind City.
Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian also sent a message to Wu Feng before he left.
“Senior Brother Wu Feng, I’ll be leaving the sect temporarily and will return in two months. Please wait for me outside the sect’s estate before you leave.”
Duan Ling Tian naturally did not forget about going to the Divine Sanctuary that an Emperor of G.o.ds left behind with Wu Feng.
“Alright,” Wu Feng replied, unaware of Duan Ling Tian’s predicament.
After receiving Wu Feng’s reply, Duan Ling Tian left the Hidden Fog Sect. Since he possessed a core disciple’s ident.i.ty token, he could easily pa.s.s through the Formations guarding the sect estate.
After obtaining the Auspicious Pill from the subordinate of the Qin clan at the entrance of Skywind City, Duan Ling Tian left immediately. He traveled west where the emperor-rank force that controlled the Hidden Fog Sect was based.
The western region was prosperous due to the existence of the emperor-rank sect.
‘TIl go to King Descending City,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
King Descending City was one of the larger cities around the emperor-rank sect’s estate. Not only was the city large, but it was prosperous as well. He did not go to the largest city in the area due to the long distance. It would take him a month just to travel back and forth, which was a waste of time. Who
knew if he would be able to find more Auspicious Pills in King Descending City?
His journey was smooth, and he did not encounter any bandits. Perhaps, it was due to the control of the emperor-rank force.
Whoos.h.!.+
Duan Ling Tian traveled at top speed for five days and five nights before he finally arrived at King Descending City.
King Descending City was much larger than Skywind City and was surrounded by mountain ranges. If one flew at a low alt.i.tude, one would have missed the city.
To Duan Ling Tian, the mountain ranges served as nature’s protection of the city in all directions. With this, it would be difficult to breach the city’s defenses.
“The emperor-rank sect that controls the Hidden Fog Sect is located west of King Descending City. A lord-rank clan and a lord-rank sect lie north and south of the city respectively. Similar to the Hidden Fog Sect, they were all under the control of the emperor-rank sect.”
King Descending City could be considered a central hub for the emperor-rank sect and its various lord-rank forces.
Whoos.h.!.+
Duan Ling Tian teleported and arrived at the entrance of the city in just a blink of an eye.
Throngs of people were going in and out of the city at this hour. Many people could be seen coming from all directions.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the ancient-looking city and was about to enter when.
“Move!”
A loud voice rang from Duan Ling Tian’s back. Then, he sensed a force rus.h.i.+ng in his direction so he hastily teleported to the side.
A carriage drawn by three identical beasts brushed past Duan Ling Tian.
A muscular middle-aged man dressed in a fine robe sat in the center of the carriage. His facial features were prominent, and he had a distinctive knife scar above his eyebrow.
Another carriage that was tightly concealed with curtains followed in the wake of the first carriage.
“Make way! It’s the Ouyang clan!” someone shouted.
People began to make way for the carriages.
“The Ouyang clan? At this time, he finally saw the word ‘Ouyang’ emblazoned on the sides of the carriages.
“The Ouyang clan is too domineering,” someone whispered.
“Well, they’re strong enough to be domineering,” another person said as he shook his head, “The clan is one of the strongest king-rank clans with multiple Kings of G.o.ds. Most importantly, the clan’s Young Master is the disciple of a second elder of a lord-rank force, the 10,000 Devils Sect, and he’s greatly
doted on by the elders.”
Duan Ling Tian instantly recalled the incident in the Zhou clan’s auction house in Skywind City. At that time, the person who wanted to attack him was called Han Li Gang, the Second Elder of the 10,000 Devils Sect. For that reason, Yu Qiu Xuan had severed Han Li Gang’s arm. In the end, Han Li Gang was
forced to kneel and apologize to him. He could still remember the scene of Han Li Gang being humiliated.
“The Young Master of the Ouyang clan is Han Li Gang’s disciple?
The Ouyang clan’s carriages drove past in just a blink of an eye. Duan Ling Tian paid no attention to it. After all, he was not strong enough to avenge such a small slight. He would not risk his life unnecessarily. However, for things close to his heart, he would gladly risk his life. For example, when Yun Qing
Yan from the Divine Offering Land came to take Ke’er away, he knew he was no match for Yun Qing Yan at that time, but he still did not hesitate to put up a fight.
‘TIl find an inn to settle down in before I consume the Auspicious Pill.’
Duan Ling Tian followed the crowd and entered King Descending City before he found a medium-sized inn.
After he settled down in his isolated room, he consumed the Auspicious Pill and began to cultivate on the bed. In just a moment, his body absorbed the efficacy of the pill, strengthening his Divine Energy..
