4244 Luo Yi Yun
While Duan Ling Tian asked Huang’er about the way to integrate the fragment of the prime divine artifact into the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, he could feel the artifact soul of the prominent divine sword that his doppelganger from the law of s.p.a.ce used becoming restless. As the artifact soul of one of Duan Ling Tian’s prominent divine swords, it could naturally hear Duan Ling Tian and Huang’er’s conversation. It did not speak up since Huang’er had served Duan Ling Tian longer, and its status was much inferior to that of Huang’er.
“Master, it’s not difficult to integrate the fragment of the prime divine artifact into the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. All you need to do is hold it in your hand while I use my energy to absorb it. After I fully absorbed it, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword will rise to another level. At that time, I’ll be able to help you defeat stronger opponents!” Huang’er said, clearly excited. Although she had served Duan Ling Tian wholeheartedly ever since she became the soul of his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, she still could not help but feel excited when she thought of gaining her freedom. Based on Duan Ling Tian’s personality, she thought it was likely that he would set her free once the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword became a prime divine artifact.
“Alright,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod. Subsequently, he brought the fragment of the prime divine artifact out and held it in his hand. He instantly felt Huang’er’s seven-colored energy surging out before it shrouded the metal fragment. At the same time, he could feel his other artifact soul growing more restless as the seven-colored energy entered the metal fragment. However, the artifact soul did not act rashly. He was rather satisfied that the artifact soul was smart enough to know that it was no match for Huang’er.
At this time, Hou Dong took the lead to say with a broad smile on his face, “Congratulations, Big Brother Duan!”
!!
Hou Dong’s sudden change in att.i.tude made Hou Lian Yu frown, but he did not say anything. Instead, he followed suit and congratulated Duan Ling Tian as well.
Hou Lian Yu looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Big Brother Duan, please visit me when you have the time…”
Hou Lian Yu knew that they would be going their separate ways after leaving the natural secret realm. It was highly unlikely for them to meet again unless they agreed to meet at a base camp beforehand or if fate brought them together again.
“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian, who was in high spirits, nodded and smiled upon hearing Hou Lian Yu’s words. He said, “I owe you a favor for bringing me to this natural secret realm. I’ll repay the favor in the future.”
Duan Ling Tian knew that he would not be able to obtain the Sky Ascension Fruit and the fragment of the prime divine artifact if Hou Lian Yu did not invite him to enter the natural secret realm. Without the fragment of the prime divine artifact, his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword would not have risen to another level, which in turn raised his strength as well.
Before leaving the natural secret realm, Hou Lian Yu reminded Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission, looking slightly worried, “Since the fragment of the prime divine artifact has been integrated into your divine sword, it’ll expose as soon as you use your divine sword. If someone obtains your divine sword and destroys its soul, the fragment will still remain intact, and it can be extracted from your divine sword. As such, it’s best not to use your divine sword, especially against opponents whom you’re no match for.”
Duan Ling Tian was aware of this as well. However, he became even more vigilant after listening to Hou Lian Yu’s reminder. He was not an impulsive person and would not take unnecessary risks.
At this time, the veiled woman looked at Duan Ling Tian and suddenly asked, “Duan Ling Tian, can we speak privately?”
Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback. He nodded and followed the veiled woman to the side of the valley.
While they stood with their backs facing the others, the veiled woman suddenly took off her veil, revealing her beautiful and exquisite face that would make most men lose their minds. However, Duan Ling Tian remained immune to her beauty. After all, he had yet to meet a woman who was more beautiful than Huan’er. The woman in front of him was indeed beautiful, but she was still lacking compared to Huan’er.
The woman took the lead and began to introduce herself to Duan Ling Tian. “My name is Luo Yi Yun. The name that Junior Sister Yu Wei used to introduce me is fake. I’m a member of the Luo clan in the Divine Offering Land, and my father is the clan leader.”
Duan Ling Tian was shocked inwardly. Based on what he knew, the Luo clan was a prime supreme-rank clan in the Divine Offering Land that was on par with the Xia clan and the Yun clan. Among the prime supreme-rank forces in the Divine Offering Land, there were only three clans: the Xia clan, the Yun clan, and the Luo clan.
Duan Ling Tian was still wondering if Luo Yi Yun was from the prime supreme-rank Luo clan when she said again, “The Luo clan is one of the three prime supreme-rank clans in the Divine Offering Land. Our clan has a long legacy, and we have an ancestor who’s a supreme powerhouse.”
After a brief pause, Luo Yi Yun looked at Duan Ling Tian with bright eyes as she continued to say, “Duan Ling Tian, your background must be ordinary since you’re from a lower realm, and I’ve never heard of you in the Divine Offering Land…”
In Luo Yi Yun’s opinion, even if Duan Ling Tian had joined an ordinary supreme-rank force, he would still be famous due to his heaven-defying strength. Moreover, she could sense that he was much younger than her. Someone like Duan Ling Tian was a monstrous talent even among prodigies.
“I, Luo Yi Yu, represent the Luo clan to invite you to join us. The Luo clan won’t mistreat you if you join us. I’ll make sure that my father adopts you as his G.o.dson if you join the clan. With this, you’ll be a young master of the Luo clan as well, just like my elder brothers. Needless to say, you’ll also be given special privileges and treatment. In fact, your treatment might be even better than ours…” Luo Yi Yun said without beating around the bush. She spared no effort in convincing Duan Ling Tian to join the clan, and she spoke as though she had the qualifications to make decisions on her father’s behalf.
“As it turns out, you’re the young miss of the Luo clan. Forgive me for not knowing better,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod. Then, he continued to say with a faint smile on his face, “However, I have no interest in joining the Luo clan. Thank you for your kindness, Miss Luo.”
Luo Yi Yun did not expect Duan Ling Tian to refuse her invitation so decisively. She frowned slightly before she said, “Duan Ling Tian, if you think my offer isn’t good enough, you can put forth your conditions. If it’s within the clan’s abilities, I can agree to you on my father’s behalf.”
Luo Yi Yun was determined to recruit Duan Ling Tian; she did not intend to give up easily. In her opinion, with Duan Ling Tian’s monstrous innate talent, he had a very high chance of becoming a supreme powerhouse in the future. Even if he failed to become a supreme powerhouse, he would definitely become an advanced Supreme G.o.d. With the Luo clan’s ultimate divine weapon, he would be unrivaled among advanced Supreme G.o.ds. All in all, the Luo clan would benefit tremendously from having him in their clan. The clan would definitely gain another powerhouse capable of protecting it.
Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. “My conditions? So I can request anything?”
Seeing that there was a sliver of hope, Luo Yi Yun’s eyes lit up as she hastily replied, “Yes, anything!”
Duan Ling Tian nodded. His narrowed eyes flashed coldly as he said, “Miss Luo, I’ll join the Luo clan if the Luo clan is able to help me kill someone…”
“Who do you want to kill?” Luo Yi Yun asked without missing a beat.
As a prime supreme-rank force, it would not be difficult for the Luo clan to kill someone as long as the other person was not a supreme powerhouse or an incredibly strong advanced Supreme G.o.d.
Luo Yi Yun knew she had to ask about the ident.i.ty of the person whom Duan Ling Tian wanted the Luo clan to kill. Apart from the strong powerhouses, the Luo clan also could not simply kill those with a powerful background. Moreover, for someone like Duan Ling Tian to need help killing someone, the other person likely was not simple as well.
Duan Ling Tian looked at Luo Yi Yun and said seriously, “The Young Master of the Yun clan, Yun Qing Yan. If the Luo clan kills him, I’ll join the Luo clan.”
Luo Yi Yun’s eyes widened as soon as she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. When she finally regained her senses, she smiled wryly and said, “I’m afraid the Luo clan is unable to help you kill him.”
Although Yun Qing Yan was not powerful, his background was extraordinary. Moreover, a few elders from her grandfather’s generation were also married to members of the Yun clan. In a way, Yun Qing Yan could be considered Luo Yi Yun’s cousin.
Luo Yi Yun sighed inwardly before she asked, “Is there enmity between the both of you?”
