Chapter 3859: What Are You Up To?
Ding Yan’s eyes widened slightly. After listening to Duan Ling Tian’s words, he finally remembered that Duan Ling Tian was in a dangerous situation. He said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I’m so preoccupied with the Divine Sanctuary that I completely forgot about how dangerous it would be for you once you leave the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.”
Ding Yan had heard about Duan Ling Tian’s conflict with the 10,000 Devils Sect and the others from Hou Qing Ning.
Duan Ling Tian smiled. “It’s fine. Everyone’s busy with the Imperial War now, and they won’t dare to act recklessly. Moreover, I’ve also made preparations. They won’t be able to distinguish the doppelganger that I formed from the law. Even if they destroy my doppelganger, the backlash will be very mild. At most, I’d have to spend some time to form it again.”
Ding Yan said solemnly, “Duan Ling Tian, I feel like you should let your doppelganger leave the sect’s estate instead. It’s too risky for you to follow me out of the sect’s estate. Moreover, your doppelganger is strong enough that the others won’t be a match for it at all.”
Duan Ling Tian smiled before he asked through Voice Transmission, “How do you know that the person standing in front of you now isn’t one of my doppelgangers?”
Ding Yan’s eyes widened slightly. Then, he sighed in relief. Finally, he nodded and led Duan Ling Tian out of the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.
…
Before Duan Ling Tian and Ding Yan even left, Kuang Tian Zheng had already received news about the duo’s impending departure.
“Duan Ling Tian and Ding Yan are leaving now?”
“Yes,” Zhong Can, Kuang Tian Zheng’s second disciple, replied.
Kuang Tian Zheng’s shone brightly.
Zhong Can continued to say with a slightly worried expression, “However, I heard that the Formation in Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard is activated even though he has left with Ding Yan. Master, Duan Ling Tian’s from the Devata Realms, and he’s also shown his doppelganger during the Latent Dragon Grand Contest. What if it’s his doppelganger from the law of s.p.a.ce that left the sect’s estate with Ding Yan?”
Kuang Tian Zheng furrowed his brow. “He activated the Formation in his courtyard?”
Zhong Can nodded. “There’s no way for us to find any clues unless we break into his courtyard. It’s not realistic for our men to tail him all the time since he’ll be able to quickly discover them. There’s a huge chance that Duan Ling Tian used his doppelganger this time. It’s quite troublesome. Even if we break into his room and examine the person in there, we still might not be able to distinguish if it’s really Duan Ling Tian or just his doppelganger. Even Lords of G.o.ds might have a tough time distinguis.h.i.+ng them.”
Kuang Tian Zheng frowned. He took a deep breath before he said, “I know. I’ll handle it from here. You should accompany your wife more. Vice Sect Leader Xue looks highly upon you so you must grasp this chance tightly.” Then, he sighed before he continued to say, “Alright. You may take your leave.”
“Master, if you need help, please let me know,” Zhong Can said seriously.
...
Kuang Tian Zheng nodded perfunctorily. After Zhong Can left, he sent a message.
“Meng Shan, Duan Ling Tian might have another trick up his sleeve. I need you to verify if the person in his room is his true body or his doppelganger. However, I won’t force you if you’re unwilling.”
“Master, I wouldn’t be able to live until now if you didn’t accept me as your disciple. I’m the least talented among your disciples. I wouldn’t have been able to become a rudimentary Lord of G.o.ds without your help. My Heavenly Tribulations are getting harder and harder; I could barely pa.s.s the previous one. It’s a matter of time before I’m killed by it. It’d be an honor if I can exchange my life to help you and my juniors.”
Meng Shan was Kuang Tian Zheng’s first direct disciple. He was an outer elder of the Flying Dragon Sect.
…
After leaving the Flying Dragon Sect, Duan Ling Tian and Ding Yan flew across a plan for about half a day before they met up with six inner disciples from the Flying Dragon Sect.
Apart from the two young men he met in the Imperial War Realm, Ding Yan was unfamiliar with the other four inner disciples.
The two young men greeted Duan Ling Tian and Ding Yan before they quickly make the introductions.
“I believe you all know him, right?”
“He’s Duan Ling Tian.”
The four inner disciples became wary immediately as they looked at Duan Ling Tian. They knew how powerful he was. Although they have numbers on their side, they knew he could still defeat all of them. After all, he had killed 100 Kings of G.o.ds from the Tai Yi Sect on the King Battlefield. There were even rumors that he single-handedly killed a group of 35 disciples from the Tai Yi Sect.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Duan.”
“Senior Brother Duan, we’ll have to rely on you.”
The four inner disciples were very polite to Duan Ling Tian. None of them dared to ask him to swear on the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath.
For this reason, the two young men who initiated the entire thing had no choice but to bring up the matter themselves.
Ding Yan had already told Duan Ling Tian about this matter so he readily swore on the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath not to attack the others in the Divine Sanctuary and that he would not monopolize the treasures in the Divine Sanctuary.
Upon seeing this, the four inner disciples sighed in relief.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the two young men and asked, “Now that we’re done, we can leave for the Divine Sanctuary now, right?
The duo smiled and nodded.
“Since Senior Brother Duan can’t wait, let’s make our way there now.”
With that, the eight of them flew away. Needless to say, the two young men who initiated everything took the lead.
“You’re taking a detour? Both of you are quite cautious,” one of the inner disciples said.
One of the duo said, “It’s necessary to ensure nothing goes wrong. After all, we’re not very strong compared to all of you.”
Duan Ling Tian only smiled and said, “It’s good to be cautious.”
Following that, no one said anything else.
The group’s speed was quite fast even though they did not travel using the flying s.h.i.+p.
Although Ding Yan was only an intermediate King of G.o.ds, his comprehension of the law was among the highest. With that, his speed was comparable to an ordinary advanced King of G.o.ds.
…
A day pa.s.sed in just a blink of an eye.
Ding Yan asked, “A day has pa.s.sed, but we’re still not there? How long will it take before we arrive?”
“Be patient,” one of the two young men said, “Based on our speed, we should arrive within two days.”
The other young man said, “That’s right. We should arrive within two days.”
One of the four disciples said with a smile, “You said the Divine Sanctuary might be left behind by an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds. I hope it’s true.”
“That’s right. Divine Sanctuaries left behind by advanced Emperors of G.o.ds are superior to those left behind by rudimentary and intermediate Emperors of G.o.ds.”
“I can’t wait!”
The four inner disciples were clearly very excited when they spoke about the Divine Sanctuary. Even a trace of excitement could be seen in Ding Yan’s eyes.
On the contrary, Duan Ling Tian was very calm.
When they arrived at a stone forest, Duan Ling Tian suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Ding Yan naturally followed suit.
Two of the four disciples looked at the stone forest ahead of them with a frown on their faces as well.
Sensing the movements behind, the duo turned around and looked at the others in confusion. A hint of worry could be seen in the depths of their eyes as they asked, “What’s wrong?”
One of the four disciples said with a frown, “There are Formations in the stone forest.”
Another one of the disciples asked the duo frostily, “What are you up to? Why are you bringing us into a place filled with Formations?”
