Chapter 3839: The Repercussion
Huang Yun was an inner elder of the Tai Yi Sect. He had been in closed-door cultivation for the past few years and had only emerged from closed-door cultivation two months ago to prepare for the Imperial War. Since he was busy preparing for the Imperial War, he was unaware of many things. As such, he had not heard about Duan Ling Tian, let alone Duan Ling Tian’s ability to easily refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills despite being younger than 3,000 years old.
“An inner disciple who’s not even 3,000 years old but is able to easily refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills?”
Huang Yun would not have believed this if he had only heard it from the people of the Flying Dragon Sect. However, even the Tai Yi Sect’s members did not refute those words. Hence, he did not doubt Duan Ling Tian’s ability. Although his face had turned pale, he still said frostily, “You’re a rare genius indeed. However, no one will show you mercy on the battlefield just because you’re a genius in alchemy. Moreover, with your t.i.tle as a genius, whoever kills you will get bragging rights.”
Huang Yun, who was embarra.s.sed, resorted to saying such words to turn the situation around.
Duan Ling Tian looked at Huang Yun expressionlessly and asked, “Huang Yun, right? Due to your words, I won’t leave the King Battlefield until I kill 100 Kings of G.o.ds from the Tai Yi Sect. You can warn them to stay away from the battlefield if they’re afraid of death.”
Silence descended immediately as soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking.
Even the members of the Flying Dragon Sect looked at Duan Ling Tian in shock. They did not expect him to make such a bold statement. Although Duan Ling Tian was truly outstanding, it was still shocking that he openly declared he would kill 100 Kings of G.o.ds from the Tai Yi Sect. Clearly, he did not think much of the Tai Yi Sect’s Kings of G.o.ds at all.
At the same time, the Tai Yi Sect’s members finally regained their senses. As expected, all of them were furious.
“How arrogant!”
“Does he think he’s invincible among Kings of G.o.ds? How dare he say such words? He must have a death wis.h.!.+”
“How dare he belittle us! I’m going to tell our strongest seniors about this so they can teach that arrogant brat a lesson!”
At this moment, Huang Yun said with a sneer, “I look forward to seeing how you’re going to kill 100 of our Kings of G.o.ds. I hope you don’t go back on your words and flee from the battlefield at that time.”
Duan Ling Tian replied tonelessly, “You’re not qualified to make me go back on my words.”
“You!” Enraged, Divine Energy surged forth from Huang Yun’s body immediately. However, it was only for a second before he forcefully suppressed it. Beads of cold sweat rolled down his face when he sensed a formidable aura targeted at him. He could tell, based on the aura, that it would be easy for the owner of the aura to kill him.
‘Is that the aura of an Emperor of G.o.ds?’ Huang Yun s.h.i.+vered, drenched in cold sweat.
When the aura finally vanished, Huang Yun looked at Duan Ling Tian with eyes burning with fury and said, “I can’t wait to see you making a joke out of yourself!”
Duan Ling Tian said indifferently, “Huang Yun, if you’re so concerned about this, you should return to your base and warn the others from entering the King Battlefield. Otherwise, I’ll hunt them down one after another.”
With that, Duan Ling Tian left the Divine Pill Pavilion, ignoring the fuming Huang Yun and the members of the Tai Yi Sect. He said, “Senior Brother Fang Yu, let’s go.”
“Huh? Alright.” Huang Yu regained his senses and quickly followed Duan Ling Tian out. His gaze was complicated as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be so bold and domineering. After all, Duan Ling Tian was usually modest and polite. The Kings of G.o.ds in the Tai Yi Sect were on par with their counterparts in the Flying Dragon Sect, and yet, Duan Ling Tian had confidently said he was going to kill 100 of them.
Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of Fang Yu’s thoughts. He browsed through the divine fruits and treasures on display in Peace City. However, after browsing around, he found there was nothing that he was interested in. He was only interested in the medicinal herbs from the Tai Yi Sect since he already possessed most of the medicinal herbs in the Flying Dragon Sect.
‘I hope the Tai Yi Sect don’t disappoint me,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, praying he would find useful medicinal herbs from the Tai Yi Sect.
…
After Duan Ling Tian left the Divine Pill Pavilion, many members of the Flying Dragon Sect exchanged looks and began to discuss among themselves through Voice Transmission. All of them thought that Duan Ling Tian had behaved too arrogantly and that he was only causing trouble for himself.
As for the Tai Yi Sect’s members, they glared at the members of the Flying Dragon Sect, wis.h.i.+ng they could vent their anger.
Needless to say, the members of the Flying Dragon Sect were fearless. After all, they knew that those from the Tai Yi Sect would not dare to attack them in Peace City.
At the same time, members of the Tai Yi Sect began to send messages out, relaying what had happened in Peace City to the others. In just a while, most of the people from Tai Yi City in the Imperial War Realm had heard about what happened.
“He won’t leave the King Battlefield until he kills 100 of our Kings of G.o.ds?”
“Duan Ling Tian’s very confident. I’d like to see how he’s going to kill 100 of our disciples on the King Battlefield!”
“Rudimentary Kings of G.o.ds should band together with a few advanced Kings of G.o.ds. They can join forces to kill Duan Ling Tian on the King Battlefield.”
“In my opinion, the sect should greatly reward the person who kills Duan Ling Tian!”
As expected, the other members of the Tai Yi Sect were furious when they heard about what happened. A few disciples even returned to the Tai Yi Sect’s estate to report the incident. With that, the Tai Yi Sect did not hesitate to announce that the person who killed Duan Ling Tian would be rewarded.
“Whoever kills Duan Ling Tian will be rewarded with 200,000 contribution forces. Those who join forces can divide the contribution points among themselves.”
After the announcement made by the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect, the Kings of G.o.ds from the sect were excited. Many of them began to form large teams to up their chances of killing Duan Ling Tian. Even those who were not enthusiastic about the Imperial War became motivated. With that, a huge influx of Kings of G.o.ds from the Tai Yi Sect swarmed into the King Battlefield.
…
At the same time, the Flying Dragon Sect’s spy in the Tai Yi Sect also sent news about the reward for killing Duan Ling Tian.
A White Dragon Elder smiled wryly after relaying the news to Long Qing Chong, the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect. “That Duan Ling Tian is quite a troublemaker!”
Long Qing Chong thought about it for a moment before he said, “Pa.s.s down my orders. Intermediate and rudimentary Kings of G.o.ds have to be in a group of ten at least when they enter the King Battlefield. The Tai Yi Sect’s Kings of G.o.ds are forming groups, after all. It’s best to stay in large groups since they’re not like Duan Ling Tian.”
…
When the Kings of G.o.ds from the Flying Dragon Sect received the order and heard about the news from Tai Yi Sect, they were shocked.
“The Tai Yi Sect’s Kings of G.o.ds are forming groups just to kill Duan Ling Tian?”
“Whoever kills Duan Ling Tian will be rewarded with 200,000 contribution points?”
A huge commotion erupted as word of this spread.
