Chapter 3837: Liu Yin
The entrance to the Imperial War Realm in the Flying Dragon Sect naturally led to the Flying Dragon Sect’s base; otherwise, known as Flying Dragon City.
After exiting the spatial pa.s.sage, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up when he found himself in a magnificent and ancient-looking city. The city, the ground, and the buildings had clearly just been built not too long ago.
“Duan Ling Tian.”
As soon as Duan Ling Tian arrived, many people took the initiative to greet him. They were mostly inner and outer disciples who joined the Flying Dragon Sect at the same time as him.
Duan Ling Tian smiled and nodded in response even if he did not know the people who greeted him. Among all the people who greeted him, he was only vaguely familiar with a few of them.
A group of people stood nearby, deep in their discussion.
Then, an intermediate King of G.o.ds suddenly asked his teammates, “Should we invite Duan Ling Tian to join us? With his strength, the chances of victory are really high once we enter the King Battlefield.”
This group of people had agreed to work together after entering the King Battlefield. They promised to support each other and help each other to meet the minimum requirements to gain war points. After that, they planned to go to Peace City to exchange for things they needed.
“If you want him to join us, you can ask him yourself. Do you think he’s a fool? With his strength, is there a need for him to join forces with us?”
Another inner disciple, who was an intermediate King of G.o.ds, shook his head and said, “With just his strength alone, he can defeat all of us easily. We’re the only ones who would benefit from him joining us. On the other hand, if he joins us, we’ll only drag him down. Think about it. If you were in his shoes and your strength is unrivaled among those below the level of a Lord of G.o.ds, would you join forces with us?”
The inner disciple, who had suggested inviting Duan Ling Tian to join them, fell silent, embarra.s.sed. He no longer dared to speak, afraid of embarra.s.sing himself further.
Many people also thought it was unlikely for Duan Ling Tian to join forces with others. Nonetheless, there was no lack of people who mustered up their courage to invite him to join them as well.
“Duan Ling Tian, we have three people on our team. We have one advanced King of G.o.ds and two intermediate Kings of G.o.ds. Would you like to enter the King Battlefield with us? After we meet the minimum requirements, we’ll give you half of our war points.”
Some people even tried to give Duan Ling Tian benefits, hoping that it would make Duan Ling Tian accept their invitation. Giving up half of their war points was indeed a generous offer.
However, those who heard those words sneered.
“The offer sounds nice on the surface. However, if Duan Ling Tian accepts their invitation, they’ll all rely on Duan Ling Tian alone.”
“That’s right. With Duan Ling Tian’s strength, he doesn’t need any help.”
“Unless you’re Hua Tian Du, the most outstanding inner disciple of our Flying Dragon Sect, or a Green Dragon Disciple, you’ll only be a hindrance to Duan Ling Tian…”
While the others discussed among themselves, Duan Ling Tian declined the invitation and said, “I plan to enter the King Battlefield alone. I have no intention of joining forces with anyone.”
With this sentence, Duan Ling Tian effectively stopped the others from inviting him to join forces. Those who had already thought of the benefits to offer Duan Ling Tian had no choice but to dismiss their thoughts.
The crowd gossiped among themselves as they watched Duan Ling Tian leave.
“Duan Ling Tian is going to fight alone on the King Battlefield. It seems like he’s very confident.”
“With his strength, he’s qualified to say such words.”
“Those from the Tai Yi Sect will suffer a misfortune if they encounter Duan Ling Tian.”
…
Duan Ling Tian continued to explore Flying Dragon City, unaware that everyone was talking about him.
Flying Dragon City was divided into several areas. Inner disciples were given their residence, and the layout was similar to their residence in the Flying Dragon Sect. The courtyards here were located on a vast land, and there was a post in front of the courtyards.
“There are quite a few inner disciples who’ve already claimed the courtyards…” Duan Ling Tian muttered under his breath as he shook his head.
He watched as inner disciples walked in and out of their courtyards. Some had just arrived and claimed their courtyards.
“This place isn’t suitable for cultivation.” Duan Ling Tian quickly sensed his surroundings and found that the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Imperial War Realm was quite thin. It was even worse than most places in the Devata Realms.
‘It seems like I’ll have to rely on divine pills, divine fruits, divine rocks, and divine crystals to quickly replenish my Divine Energy. With the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here, it’d be too slow to replenish my Divine Energy through cultivation alone,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
Swoos.h.!.+
Duan Ling Tian quickly arrived in front of a courtyard. The location of the courtyard was quite decent.
At the same time, a disciple appeared next to him. When he saw Duan Ling Tian, he quickly said, “Huh?”
Duan Ling Tian turned to look at the newcomer. When his eyes fell on the other person’s waist, he saw an inner disciple ident.i.ty token.
The disciple laughed awkwardly before he said, “Senior Brother Duan, since you like this courtyard, you can have it. I’ll find another one.”
Although Duan Ling Tian did not know the disciple, it did not mean the disciple did not know Duan Ling Tian. At this time, there was almost no one who did not know Duan Ling Tian in the Flying Dragon Sect. Even those who did not stay in the sect had heard of him. Perhaps, only those who were in closed-door cultivation had yet to hear about him.
“Thank you,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. After the disciple flew away, he engraved his name on the post, claiming the courtyard. It would be his residence in the Imperial War Realm.
When he walked in, he discovered the layout was similar to his courtyard in the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.
After a while, Duan Ling Tian left his courtyard again.
“I should be able to go to Peace City from Flying Dragon City,” Duan Ling Tian murmured. Then, he found someone and casually asked for direction before making his way east of the city.
Peace City was located east of Flying Dragon City and was adjacent to Flying Dragon City. The distance between the two cities was very short as well.
Duan Ling Tian walked toward Peace City. He was not worried that he would be ambushed by the people from the Tai Yi Sect. The people from Tai Yi Sect would not dare to make a move in such a place, after all. If they did, the guards in Flying Dragon City would definitely make a move; he would not even need to lift a finger.
Xue Hai Chuan had previously told Duan Ling Tian that the Golden Dragon Elders would take turns guarding Flying Dragon City.
During his walk to Peace City, he saw many people walking in the same direction he was heading. There were many inner disciples, inner elders, inner deacons, outer disciples, outer elders, and outer deacons of the Flying Dragon Sect.
“There are quite a lot of people going to Peace City…”
At this moment, a cold scoff suddenly rang in the air.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed slightly, and he instinctively looked at the source of the sound. He saw a man with a White Dragon Elder’s ident.i.ty token hanging from his waist.
Among the group of people making their way to Peace City now, the man was the only White Dragon Elder.
Upon sensing Duan Ling Tian’s gaze, the man looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly before he flashed and disappeared from sight.
Everyone looked confused. They had heard the man scoffing, and they knew the scoff was aimed at Duan Ling Tian. However, they did not know why.
After a moment, an inner elder kindly said through Voice Transmission, “Duan Ling Tian, that man is a White Dragon Elder of our sect. He’s Elder Liu Yin. He’s a member of the 10,000 Devils faction in the sect. He used to be the Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect,but he left the sect after his only son died. Then, he defected to the 0,000 Devils Sect before joining the Flying Dragon Sect.”
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened imperceptibly upon hearing these words. ‘So it’s him! Xue Hai Chuan’s enemy! He’s the one who’s h.e.l.l-bent on killing Xue Hai Shan to avenge his son.’
“Since you have a good relations.h.i.+p with Elder Xue, you must know about the enmity between his brother and Elder Liu. It’s likely that he dislikes you due to your close relations.h.i.+p with Elder Xue,” the inner elder continued to say through Voice Transmission.
“Thank you for your reminder,” Duan Ling Tian said. Naturally, once he found out about the man’s ident.i.ty, it was not difficult to figure out the reason for the man’s hostility. In fact, Xue Hai Chuan was not the only reason for the hostility, his conflict with the 10,000 Devils Sect played a big part as well.
The moment Kuang Tian Zheng looked for him in the Linghu clan and attacked him, they had become irreconcilable enemies. Kuang Tian Zheng was originally from the 10,000 Devils Sect and had joined the 10,000 Devils faction after joining the Flying Dragon Sect. With such a connection, how could the 10,000 Devils Sect stay neutral? With that, apart from Kuang Tian Zheng, the 10,000 Devils Sect also became Duan Ling Tian’s enemy.
The inner elder continued to say, “In any case, you don’t have to worry too much. He won’t dare to attack you in the Imperial War Realm. Otherwise, he’ll definitely die.”
After that, the inner elder continued to chat with Duan Ling Tian for a while. It was then that Duan Ling Tian discovered why the inner elder was so kind. As it turned out, the inner elder was Dongfang Yan Nian’s senior brother. The duo had the same master. However, the inner elder was weaker than Dongfang Yan Nian so he was only an inner elder, unlike Dongfang Yan Nian who was a White Dragon Elder.
