Chapter 4484: Two Supreme Powerhouse Are Tracking Duan Ling Tian
Near the boundary of the Sacred Lightning Realm.
At least a dozen flying s.h.i.+ps could be seen near the boundary of the Sacred Lightning Realm at this moment.
Duan Ling Tian, who had changed his appearance and changed into a loose long black robe, opened his eyes and said to Tan Xiu Teng, “We’ll disembark from the flying s.h.i.+p and travel through the mountains and the rivers. Put away the flying s.h.i.+p.”
After responding to Duan Ling Tian, Tan Xiu Teng, who disguised himself as a gray-clad old man, thought to himself, ‘Isn’t the young master being too cautious?’
In Tan Xiu Teng’s opinion, Zhong Yue, the Young Master ot the Zhong clan, did not submit because he was weaker than Duan Ling Tian; Zhong Yue had submitted because of Duan Ling Tian’s background. After all, he believed that Duan Ling Tian was under the protection of a demi Saint. Otherwise, the Zhong clan and the Leng clan would not have taken a step back. In the Peaceful Might Realm, only top forces like the Linghu clan with demi Saints would not be afraid of Duan Ling Tian. Even then, they would not needlessly provoke another demi Saint for no good reason.
If Duan Ling Tian could hear Tan Xiu Teng’s thoughts, he would have smiled bitterly. After all, he did not have the protection of a demi Saint at all. His most powerful life-saving item was the Spirit Blood Essence of Situ Lei, the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint. Situ Lei might be one of the most powerful supreme powerhouses in the Divine Sand Realm, but with his strength, he was only in the third tier in the Peaceful Might Realm. Let alone powerful forces like the Linghu clan, even forces like the Zhong clan and the Leng clan had at least three to five supreme powerhouses like Situ Lei.
‘It’ll be over for me if the Zhong clan or the Leng clan send people to test me… They won’t let me go after I took so many things from them..
Duan Ling Tian did not just rely on his luck to come so far, after all. He was also very cautious. In the past, he was able to avoid quite a few crises due to his cautious nature.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
After putting away the flying s.h.i.+p, Duan Ling Tian and Tan Xiu Teng landed in a forest mountain. As they traveled through the forest, they encountered a few demons, but they were easily dealt with by Tan Xiu Teng.
A few days later…
Two figures suddenly appeared at the place where Duan Ling Tian and Tan Xiu Teng stopped flying previously.
“The two auras disappeared here… If I’m not mistaken, two or three days should’ve pa.s.sed since they disappeared from this place,” Liu Yi Fan; the Lord of Valley Court, said to Lin Yu; the Clan Leader of the Lin clan, “Brother Lin Yu, are you able to turn back time to see what happened here?”
Liu Yi Fan and Lin Yu were now on the hunt for the nine stalks of Blissful Flower Kings and three lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod. With the law of time, Lin Yu was able to retrace Duan Ling Tian’s tracks by manipulating the flow of time. In the past, due to a fortuitous encounter, he was able to master this technique. One had to know that cultivators who did not comprehend the law of time to the paramount stage before becoming a supreme powerhouse would not be able to trace the tracks of others, excluding their direct descendants.
Fortunately for Lin Yu, before becoming a supreme powerhouse, Lin Yu had stumbled upon a Realm of Origin and obtained a technique left behind by a Saint. This technique could only be mastered by those who had comprehended the law of time to the paramount stage before becoming a supreme powerhouse.
“I’ll give it a try,” Lin Yu said. Although he had mastered the technique, success was not guaranteed when he had to turn back time to more than 24 hours ago. Most of the time, he could only catch a glimpse of fragmented scenes. If he had enough fragmented scenes, he might be able to piece the picture together. Otherwise, it would be difficult to make sense of them.
Swoos.h.!.+
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes as he extended his hands. At the same time, his Divine Energy surged out like a tsunami and swept through the sky in just a blink of an eye. Following that, a mysterious energy surged out and formed what looked like a Floating Mirror Image.
Lin Yu and Liu Yi Fan appeared in the floating image, but their actions were in reverse, and they quickly vanished from sight. In just a moment, the sky was devoid of people. Once in a while, a few birds could be seen.
About 15 minutes later, the image suddenly began to ripple and distort, causing
Lin Yu’s expression to darken. He said, “It’s now the day before…”
Liu Yi Fan stared at the floating image intently that showed them what happened before, not wanting to miss any details.
As time continued to pa.s.s, the floating image began to distort more and more. After a while, cracks began to appear on the floating image, spreading rapidly.
Lin Yu’s voice was hoa.r.s.e as he said with great difficulty, clearly under immense pressure, “We’re back to two days ago…’
“It’s going to shatter!” Liu Yi Fan exclaimed.
The floating image continued to crack, and a few tiny fragments fell from the sky.
When Liu Yi Fan saw two figures in the floating image, he said solemnly, “Try to hang on a little longer!”
“That has to be them!” Lin Yu exclaimed excitedly. Following that, he withdrew his hands, and the floating image disappeared.
“They descended into the forest mountain here. They must be traveling to the Sacred Lightning Realm on foot! We should be able to find them if we thoroughly search the area leading to the Sacred Lightning Realm!” Liu Yi Fan said, barely able to contain his excitement.
However, Lin Yu remained level-headed and said, “We don’t know if they’re using any secret technique that prevents us from tracking them… If he’s under the protection of a demi Saint, he should know a technique or two…”
Liu Yi Fan nodded and said, “In any case, let’s try to search for them first.”
Subsequently, the duo flew in the direction where Duan Ling Tian had left previously.
About half a day later, Liu Yi Fan and Lin Yu finally spotted two figures.
Liu Yi Fan laughed and said excitedly, “It’s them! Those two were the men in the floating image! Brother Lin Yu, it seems like your worries are unfounded! They didn’t use any secret technique at all!”
