Chapter 3707: Dispute
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Wu Feng, Sima Han, and the others retreated, the doors of the Divine Sanctuary slowly swung open.
In just an instant, a dark vortex appeared in front of them, blocking the entrance that had just opened up. With this, none of them could see what was behind the doors. Nevertheless, none of them was surprised. How could the Divine Sanctuary be normal and reveal itself so easily? Outwardly, it resembled
a palace, but who knew what it was like inside? The possibilities were endless after all.
At this time, Wu Feng, who had returned to stand next to Duan Ling Tian, asked again through Voice Transmission, “Why did you ask me that earlier, Junior Brother Duan?”
Naturally, Wu Feng knew Duan Ling Tian did not want the others to listen in on their conversation so he had used Voice Transmission to communicate.
“Senior Brother Wu, I’m afraid Sima Han’s real ident.i.ty is likely quite extraordinary. Moreover, I suspect that he’s also aware of Du Qian Jun’s real ident.i.ty and that Du Qian Jun has just found out about his ident.i.ty as well. Most importantly, Du Qian Jun seems to have grown slightly more respectful after
learning of Sima Ham’s ident.i.ty.”
“Is that so?” Wu Feng was naturally surprised. Although he did not believe it when Sima Han previously said that he was a sectless cultivator, he did not think Sima Han had an extraordinary ident.i.ty. Moreover, it was to the extent that even Du Qian Jun was respectful of Sima Han after discovering Sima
Han’s ident.i.ty.
Du Qian Jun was the grandson of Du Zhan, the Supreme Elder of the 10,000 Devils Sect, after all. His brother and senior brother Du Po Jun and Yang Qian Ye, two famous prodigies of the 10,000 Devils Sects. One had to be as strong as Du Po Jun at least to be able to garner his respect. However, if they were
outsiders, not only did they have to be as strong as Du Po Jun, but they would also have to have high status for Du Qian Jun to respect them. With this, one could imagine how extraordinary Sima Han’s ident.i.ty was.
Duan Ling Tian continued to voice his speculations through Voice Transmission to Wu Feng, “I suspect Sima Han is also hiding his strength.”
Before Wu Feng could reply, Sima Han said to Wu Feng, “Now that the doors of the Divine Sanctuary have been opened Liu Dong Ming, Yue Qi, Wu Feng, and their companions will enter first. Du Yan and I will bring up the rear. Do you have any objections?”
“Tm fine with this.”
“Me too.”
Liu Dong Ming and Yue Qi were pleased by Sima Han’s suggestion. After all, those who entered the Divine Sanctuary suspected to be left behind by an Emperor of G.o.ds would have a chance to get their hands on the treasures first.
Without Duan Ling Tian’s reminder, Wu Feng would have thought Sima Han’s idea was good. However, now, he did not reply and looked to Duan Ling Tian subconsciously, waiting for Duan Ling Tian’s decision instead.
Duan Ling Tian looked at Sima Han and said, “In my opinion, Wu Feng and I should go with you and your companion so we can look after each other. I don’t want to be killed by the four of them after entering the Divine Sanctuary. We don’t know if we’ll be sent to the same place or not after entering.
Moreover, how can you be sure Du Yan won’t turn against you? I won’t be a threat to you if I go with you.”
After saying that, Duan Ling Tian deliberately mobilized his Divine Energy that showed he was just an advanced G.o.d.
“an advanced G.o.d?”
Liu Dong Ming, Yue Qi, and their companions’ eyes widened in surprise when they sensed Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Energy. When they looked at Duan Ling Tian again, their eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with contempt and mockery.
“Wu Yi Shan, I didn’t expect you to choose an advanced G.o.d to accompany you here,” Liu Dong Ming looked at Wu Feng and said with a smile, “Do you not have any friends who are rudimentary Kings of G.o.ds? There are quite a lot of rudimentary Kings of G.o.ds in the Hidden Fog Sect, but you only brought
an advanced G.o.d. You must be an outcast in the Hidden Fog Sect.”
After Liu Dong Ming finished speaking, he laughed mockingly.
Although Yue Qi did not speak, he did not conceal the mockery in his gaze.
On the other hand, Sima Han frowned slightly. He and his companion did not seem shocked at all that Duan Ling Tian was an advanced G.o.d as though they had long known about it.
At this time, Du Qian Jun said with a scoff, “Brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Am I that kind of person? If Sima Han or whoever is worried about making a move, I can swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath that I won’t kill anyone outside of the Divine Sanctuary. My companion can also swear on the
Devil Heart’s Blood Oath.”
Upon hearing Du Qian Jun’s words, Liu Dong Ming and Yue Qi sighed in relief inwardly. They were also worried about Du Qian Jun killing Sima Han, breaking the precarious balance between them. If they were transported to the same place and if Du Qian Jun killed Sima Han, they would fall into a
disadvantageous position one Du Qian Jun and Wu Feng joined forces to deal with them.
Duan Ling Tian glanced at Du Qian Jun before he said, “That’s not necessary. I’d rather Sima Han swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath instead. From what I heard, Sima Han made everyone swear on an additional Devil Heart’s Blood Oath previously.”
A sarcastic smile could be seen on Duan Ling Tian’s face when he spoke.
“You…” Du Qian Jun was rendered speechless by Duan Ling Tian’s words. After all, there was nothing wrong with Duan Ling Tian’s request. If he had not reached an agreement with Sima Han in private earlier, he would have definitely agreed with Duan Ling Tian. If he protested too strongly, he would
arouse everyone’s suspicion.
“The reason I asked Wu Yi Shan and Du Yan to swear on an additional Devil Heart’s Blood Oath was to ensure everyone’s safety. However, if you insist, I have no objection to going with you. I think Du Yan won’t have any objections either,” Sima Han said as he looked at Du Yan.
Du Yan nodded immediately, but a trace of unwillingness could be seen in his eyes. “I have no objections.”
Duan Ling Tian thought he had successfully foiled Sima Han and Du Qian Jun’s plans when Sima Han suddenly said, “How about this? Since you and Wu Yi Shan aren’t in a hurry, then I, Liu Dong Ming, Yue Qi, and our companions will go in first. Du Yan, are you okay with this?”
Upon hearing this, Du Qian Jun’s eyes flashed. However, he shrugged and said, “I’m okay with this.”
“Tm not okay with this,” Duan Ling Tian said again.
This time, everyone frowned.
“Brat, what’s the problem now?” Liu Dong Ming asked in a deep voice, clearly annoyed, “You said you didn’t want to go in first, then now that we’ve acquiesced, you changed your mind again?”
Yue Qi looked at Duan Ling Tian impatiently as well.
“If we’re all transported to the same place after entering the Divine Sanctuary, won’t I and Senior Brother Wu Feng be at a disadvantage then? We won’t be able to react in time if all of you decide to attack us at the same time.”
Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “In my opinion, like you said, we should split into two groups to go in. Du Yan, his companion, Senior Brother Wu, and I will be in a group. Senior Brother Wu and I will enter first. Then, the other group can choose two people to go in after we go in. After that, the
remaining six people can go in. Due to my strength, Senior Brother Wu Feng and I are definitely not a match for any of you so all of you don’t have to worry about us being a threat. Du Yan and his companion are strong. He should be able to protect himself against all of you as well when I enter.”
Duan Ling Tian did not forget to praise Du Qian Jun when he spoke.
“Alright, so be it. How annoying,” Du Qian Jun said.
“Oh, wait,” Duan Ling Tian said, changing his mind again, “I just noticed that the entrance can accommodate all ten of us. Why don’t all of us go in at the same time?”
This time, the red-clad young man next to Sima Han scoffed. He said frostily, “It’s too chaotic for ten of us to enter at the same time. Moreover, it doesn’t stop another person from attacking. For example, if Wu Yi Shan arrives just a second later, the others can still attack you. It’s better to go in
separately.”
Liu Dong Ming and Yue Qi nodded in agreement.
“Then, we’ll go with your first suggestion,” Sima Han said to Duan Ling Tian, “Wu Yi Shan and you can go in first.”
Then, Sima Han looked at Liu Dong Ming and Yue Qi and said, “Both of you can decide whether you both want to go in together, or if you prefer to go in with your respective companions.”
