Chapter 3248: Return to the Profound Nether Mansion
With that, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er joined the Gan Jiang Progeny and the Mo Xie Progeny respectively in the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect.
With Duan Ling Tian, Huan’er, and Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun, the Leaders of the Gan Jiang Progeny and the Mo Xie Progeny, there were now four people in the two progenies.
After leaving the Tai-Ah Peak, Duan Ling Tian said to Zhuge Feng, “Progeny Master, Huan’er and I would like to return to the Spirit Overarching Heaven for a short while.”
Duan Ling Tian felt it was time to return to the Spirit Overarching Heaven to settle his grudge with the Blood Skull Gang and avenge the former Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion. When he had first left the Spirit Overarching Heaven, he did not expect he would have the capability to do such things in just a few decades.
“What do you plan to do in the Spirit Overarching Heaven?” Zhuge Yun asked curiously.
“I have scores to settle,” Duan Ling Tian said.
“Grudges?” Zhuge Yun’s eyes lit up when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s reply. She said, “I like settling scores… Since Zhuge Feng and I have nothing better to do, we will follow you…”
“Won’t it disturb your cultivation, Progeny Masters?” Duan Ling Tian asked. However, his eyes lit up when he heard those words. After all, if Zhuge Yun and Zhuge Feng went with them, their safety was absolutely guaranteed. The twins were even capable of killing t.i.tled Celestial Emperors when they joined forces.
“No, it won’t,” Zhuge Feng said.
“Okay! It’s decided then! We’ll accompany you and Huan’er to the Spirit Overarching Heaven!” Zhuge Yun said excitedly, “I haven’t left the Jade Emperor Heaven for many years… I think it has been 10,000 years at least…”
Zhuge Yun was like a child in a candy store at this moment. Her excitement was palpable, and she looked even more like a child compared to Huan’er.
As one of the top forces in the Nan Dou Territory, the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect naturally has its personal Devata Realm Transporting Formations.
The Devata Realm Transporting Formation was not located in any of the ten main peaks; it was located on a sword peak.
Under Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun’s lead, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er quickly arrived at the Transporting Formation.
“My respects, Progeny Masters.” The elder from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect responsible for guarding the Devata Realm Transporting Formation hurriedly greeted Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun.
“Four of us are going to the Spirit Overarching Heaven,” Zhuge Yun said calmly to the elder. Then, she turned to Duan Ling Tian and asked with a smile, “Duan Ling Tian, which territory and which mansion do you want to go to”
The Devata Realm Transportation Formation could accurately teleport a person to a specific mansion of a territory in a Devata Realm.
“Southern Heaven Territory’s Profound Nether Mansion,” Duan Ling Tian replied.
“Did you hear that?” Zhuge Yun asked the elder.
“Yes, yes.” The elder nodded hastily before he furtively looked at Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er. After all, he had never seen the duo before. Most importantly, the duo was accompanied by the Leaders of the Gan Jiang Progeny and the Mo Xie Progeny. He committed Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er’s faces to his memory; he knew he could not afford to offend the duo.
Whoos.h.!.+
The Devata Realm Transporting Formation flashed.
With that, the quartet left the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect in the Jade Emperor Heaven’s Nan Dou Territory and arrived at the Profound Nether Mansion in the Spirit Overarching Heaven’s Southern Heaven Territory.
The quartet arrived in a small city under the Profound Nether Mansion. They did not linger in the city.
Duan Ling Tian instantly led them to the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate. When they entered the estate, although the people in the Profound Nether Mansion were unable to react to their speed, the quartet still triggered the Mansion Guarding Formation.
The powerhouses led by the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion appeared as soon as the Formation was triggered. They were all surprised when they saw Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er.
“Duan Ling Tian? You’re back?” The Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion was slightly confused. In the past, he could not gauge Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base, and now, Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base had become even more unfathomable. Most importantly, the man and woman standing next to Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er were even more mysterious and formidable. Their auras alone were incredibly stifling.
“That’s right,” Duan Ling Tian smiled and said, “Mansion Master, I returned to see the pavilion master.” Then, he turned to Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun and said, “They are my seniors in the Jade Emperor Heaven… They’re the Progeny Masters of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect in the Jade Emperor Heaven’s Nan Dou Territory.”
Much to Duan Ling Tian’s surprise, the mansion master’s expression changed as soon as he heard Duan Ling Tian’s introductions. Based on his reaction, it seemed like he had heard of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect.
The mansion master said respectfully, “My respects, Progeny Masters. I apologize for not receiving you in person earlier. I didn’t expect your arrival, after all.” Beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead at this moment.
At the same time, the mansion master sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian, why didn’t you inform me in advance of your visit?”
“Mansion Master, you know the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.
“How could I not know of the sect? In the past, the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect was a famous heaven-grade force. One of the powerhouses from the sect even came close to defeating the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven,” the mansion master replied through Voice Transmission. “Even after the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect retreated from the Jade Emperor Territory and moved to the Nan Dou Territory, they still held ma.s.sive power and influence. Due to the presence of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect in the Nan Dou Territory, no t.i.tled Celestial Emperor could meddle in the Nan Dou Territory’s affairs.”
Based on this, Duan Ling Tian discovered the mansion master was rather knowledgeable about the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect.
The mansion master continued to say through Voice Transmission, “All of the ten progeny masters in the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect are Celestial Emperors. Moreover, they aren’t ordinary Celestial Emperors. How could you bring such Celestial Emperors here without informing me in advance? I’ll be dead if they blame me for this…”
“Don’t worry, Mansion Master. These seniors are not petty individuals. They won’t mind this,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile as he shook his head. After that, he said, “Mansion Master, I returned this time to visit the He Clan of the Ten Major Clans.”
The Clan Leader of the He Clan was the person who killed the former Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion. The former Imperial Tutor was also the father of the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion. Naturally, this was something Duan Ling Tian was unaware of.
“I will inform the grandmaster immediately!” the mansion master said excitedly as he sent a message to the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Palace.
Upon receiving the message, the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Palace rushed over, especially when he heard two Celestial Emperors from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect had also come to the Profound Nether Mansion. As soon as he arrived, he greeted Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun respectfully, “My respects, Lord Celestial Emperors.”
After that, the pavilion master looked at Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er. It was not difficult to see that the Celestial Emperors were here with Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er.
“We’re just here to keep Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er company… There’s no need to be too courteous.” Zhuge Yun smiled gently.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the old man and solemnly said, “Senior, please lead us to the He Clan’s estate. Today will be the day that Clan Leader He dies!”
The old man was naturally excited when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He wasted no time and immediately led the quartet to the He Clan’s estate.
During the journey, the old man could not help but ask curiously through Voice Transmission, “Duan Ling Tian, how did you meet these two Celestial Emperors from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect?”
“Senior, after we went to the Jade Emperor Heaven, through a series of events, we joined the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect. The two progeny masters came to have fun,” Duan Ling Tian replied through Voice Transmission.
“Duan Ling Tian, thank you,” the old man said solemnly, “If you didn’t bring these two Celestial Emperors to avenge my father… I don’t know when I will be able to avenge them.” He stumbled over his words slightly, too overcome by emotions.
“Father?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned.
“I didn’t tell you about this previously. The former Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion is my father.” Killing intent flashed in the old man’s eyes as he spoke, “This is why I created that rule when I became the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion in the Profound Nether Mansion.”
The old man continued to say, “I’m aware that my strength is limited; it’s not enough to avenge my father. Therefore, I’d hope to find an Imperial Tutor capable of that feat. Until you appeared, I didn’t find anyone capable of avenging my father for 20,000 years….”
Duan Ling Tian finally realized why the old man was h.e.l.l-bent on avenging the former Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion.
After a moment, Duan Ling Tian said, “Senior, you’re mistaken. The two Progeny Masters are only here to watch the fun. I, Duan Ling Tian, will be the one to avenge the former Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion!”
Although the Clan Leader of the He Clan was strong, he was no match for Duan Ling Tian now.
“You?” The old man looked at Duan Ling Tian skeptically. It was only natural he was doubtful. After all, Duan Ling Tian had only left several decades ago. It would be considered a miracle if Duan Ling Tian could become a One Basic Celestial Lord during that time, but it still was not enough to kill the Clan Leader of the He Clan.
“Duan Ling Tian, this isn’t funny.” The old man shook his head; he was under the impression that Duan Ling Tian was joking with him.
