Chapter 4228 Reconciliation?
“Father, it must be someone from the Xia clan!” Yun Qing Yan said through gritted teeth, “The members are the only ones aware of my cousin and my situation. I suspect Xia Jie is behind this!”
The middle-aged man frowned upon hearing Yun Qing Yan’s words. “Nonsense! How’s that possible?”
The middle-aged man found Yun Qing Yan’s words ridiculous. If Xia Jie possessed such heaven-defying luck, it would be impossible for his brother-in-law, Xia Yu, to be the Clan Leader of the Xia clan.
Yun Qing Yan furrowed his brows. “If it’s not Xia Jie, then it has to be someone close to Xia Jie! Otherwise, who could it be?”
!!
In Yun Qing Yan’s opinion, Xia Jie was the only one from the Xia clan who had the motive to kill him. Moreover, the disguise of the culprit and Xia Ning Xue earlier was impeccable. Only those who were close to Xia Ning Xue were capable of imitating her so flawlessly. The more he thought about it, the more he realized how foolish he had been to have mistaken the impostor for Xia Ning Xue. Based on her character, he should have known that Xia Ning Xue would not leave the Realm Battlefield until the time was up.
“The Xia clan? Since when did the Xia clan have such a talent? Do you know him?” the middle-aged man asked as his frown deepened.
The middle-aged man was familiar with all the powerhouses and young prodigies in the Xia clan, and he was certain he had never seen that young man before. He wondered if the Xia clan had been keeping the young man’s existence a secret. In any case, he could not figure out why the young man wanted to kill his son.
Yun Qing Yan shook his head. “I don’t know him. He was using a disguise. However, I know the young man whose appearance he used. I met that young man in the past. However, he’s just a native of a mundane realm..”
“A disguise?”
At this moment, the middle-aged man finally realized that his son thought the other party was wearing a disguise. Then, he said, “He’s not wearing a disguise. His appearance is his…”
The middle-aged man had confirmed that the young man was not wearing a disguise. Even his projection from his bloodline power could tell the young man was not disguising himself as another person.
Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Yun Qing Yan’s face turned ashen. He muttered with a blank expression on his face, “How’s that possible?”
Yun Qing Yan shook his head in denial as he looked at his father for clarification, asking, “Father, are you sure? It’s impossible. Impossible!”
Yun Qing Yan seemed to have lost his mind at this time. The native of a mundane realm who was no match for him at all a few hundred years ago had now surpa.s.sed him, the dignified heir and Eldest Young Master of the Yun clan, a prime supreme-rank force in the Divine Offering Land, who was given an abundance of resources and envied by many since he was young.
“You know him?” The middle-aged man sensed something was amiss.
Yun Qing Yan quickly regained his composure. His eyes shone with both killing intent and fear as he said, “Father, we must kill him at all cost! Otherwise, he’ll be a huge threat to our Yun clan! He won’t spare our clan once he’s grown powerful enough!”
Despite how unwilling he was, Yun Qing Yan knew he had to face the bitter truth. He quickly calmed down and urged his father to use all means to kill Duan Ling Tian before it was too late.
At this time, Yun Qing Yan greatly regretted sparing Duan Ling Tian’s life in the past when Xia Ning Xue threatened to end her life. After the spatial connections between the Realms of G.o.ds and the Devata Realms were closed, he had also forgotten about Duan Ling Tian. Otherwise, he would have sent an elder or two to the lower realm using a Destruction Divine Shuttle to kill Duan Ling Tian. At that time, Xia Ning Xue might not even suspect him. Apart from that, he was also confident Xia Ning Xue would not end her life for Duan Ling Tian’s family and friends.
‘I was too careless…’ Yun Qing Yan lamented inwardly. He would have never underestimated Duan Ling Tian if he knew how strong Duan Ling Tian would become.
“Who is he?” The middle-aged frowned. An ominous feeling rose in his heart when he saw how strange and agitated his son behaved.
“Father, he was my cousin’s husband during her time in the mundane realm,” Yun Qing Yan said solemnly, “When I found her previously, I wanted to kill him. However, at that time, she threatened to end her life so I ended up sparing his life for her sake. After the spatial connections between the Realms of G.o.ds and the Devata Realms closed and the Realm Battlefield appeared, I forgot about the matter. After all, he was just a native of a mundane realm. I didn’t expect him to become so strong in fewer than 800 years! When I met him previously, he wasn’t even a Celestial! Now that he’s grown so strong, he wants to kill me! I would’ve died without the imprint from your bloodline power, father!”
The bloodline imprint was created using a complex method and a specific treasure. The imprint would be placed on a person for protection. The imprint was rare since the treasure needed to create the imprint was rare as well.
Due to the rarity of the imprint, Yun Qing Yan would not use it unless he was on the brink of death. Alas, Duan Ling Tian’s sudden appearance forced him to use his ultimate life-saving card.
“Is it impossible for both of you to resolve your conflict?” the middle-aged man asked, still frowning.
Yun Qing Yan looked at his father incredulously upon hearing these words. He could not believe his father would ask such a question.
The middle-aged man continued to say, “The conflict between you and him would be resolved if you let your cousin go.”
Yun Qing Yan’s eyes widened upon hearing these words. For a moment, he wondered if the middle-aged man was his biological father. Otherwise, how could his father say such words?
When the middle-aged man saw the expression on Yun Qing Yan’s face, he solemnly explained, “Based on what I sensed earlier, that young man’s luck is truly heaven-defying. Not only did he become an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds with the strength to kill an intermediate Supreme G.o.d in just a few hundred years, but he also comprehended two out of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth to such a high level. That’s not all, he also possessed all Five Divine Elements, and they’re all at a high level as well. You should know that the Five Divine Elements rarely reside in the same host. Only someone incredibly talented is capable of making them put their differences aside. Theoretically speaking, it’s only a matter of time before someone who possesses the Five Divine Elements becomes a supreme powerhouse. Right, I almost forgot about the complete Divine Tree of Life in his Little World as well. Under normal circ.u.mstances, complete Divine Trees of Life can only be found in Realms of G.o.ds. The only way for someone who’s not a supreme powerhouse to obtain a complete Divine Tree of Life is through the remnant of a destroyed Realm of G.o.ds.”
The middle-aged man paused for a moment to look at his son who was in shock. Then, he continued to say, “There are many ways for an advanced Supreme G.o.d to become a supreme powerhouse. There are the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, the Five Divine Elements, and the Divine Tree of Life. That young man possesses all of them. With what he has, he can help eight advanced Supreme G.o.ds become supreme powerhouses! This proves how heaven-defyingly lucky he is! How can someone like that be easy to kill? If we offend him, it’s only a matter of time before disaster strikes us.”
Yun Qing Yan trembled upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words.
‘How’s that possible? A worthless piece of trash from the mundane realm had so many fortuitous encounters that I could only dream of! It’s not fair at all!’ Yun Qing Yan’s expression twisted with jealousy.
The middle-aged man stared at Yun Qing Yan and sighed. “It’s really not worth it to offend someone like that because of a woman. If it’s possible, give up on Ning Xue and let her reunite with him. It’s still not too late for you to reconcile with him since you haven’t done anything to her.”
The middle-aged man was unaware that Yun Qing Yan not only forcefully separated Xia Ning Xue and Duan Ling Tian, but Yun Qing Yan had also greatly humiliated Duan Ling Tian in front of Xia Ning Xue. If he were aware of these things, he would not have suggested a reconciliation.
After recovering his senses, Yun Qing Yan smiled bitterly and said, “Father, it’s impossible. Previously…”
Yun Qing Yan truthfully recounted what happened to the middle-aged man. Even if reconciliation was possible, he was not willing to reconcile with Duan Ling Tian.
‘Duan Ling Tian must die!’
