4344 Forcing His Way Into the Xia Clan’s Estate
Under normal circ.u.mstances, Duan Ling Tian would have panicked if he was thrown outside the Xia clan’s estate by a supreme powerhouse. He also would not have recklessly entered the Xia clan’s estate. However, at this time, faced with the questions from the patrolling members of the Xia clan, he was only worried about Ke’er.
Duan Ling Tian only wanted to find out what had happened to Ke’er and what the supreme powerhouse’s words meant. As such, he ignored the patrolling members of the Xia clan and flew away.
Even a supreme powerhouse said that Ke’er had encountered a problem; this meant that Ke’er must have encountered a serious problem. After all, most big problems for cultivators were only small matters to supreme powerhouses. For example, killing a top advanced Supreme G.o.d might be an almost impossible matter to most people, but it was extremely easy for a supreme powerhouse.
“Stop him!”
!!
“He plans to force his way into our clan’s estate! Capture him!”
“Attack!”
Duan Ling Tian flew toward the Xia clan’s estate at high speed, but before long, a group of elders and disciples appeared in front of him. At the same time, the earlier patrolling members also caught up with him from the back.
“Scram!” Duan Ling Tian roared. He was burning with anxiety, and it took almost all of his self-control not to kill them. A spatial storm raged around him, causing the void to ripple.
The members of the Xia clan were immediately forced to retreat.
Duan Ling Tian’s terrifying law of s.p.a.ce could be sensed in the raging spatial storm at this moment. His Divine Energy as an intermediate Supreme G.o.d felt like an unstoppable force to the elders and disciples of the Xia clan.
The strongest among this group of members of the Xia clan were three intermediate Supreme G.o.ds. However, faced with Duan Ling Tian who was comparable with most top advanced Supreme G.o.ds, they were naturally no match for him. Even if they joined forces, their combined strength seemed insignificant compared to his. It was just like how the stars could never outs.h.i.+ne the moon.
In just a moment, Duan Ling Tian suppressed the three intermediate Supreme G.o.ds and the others, who were a mix of rudimentary Supreme G.o.ds and a few advanced Emperors of G.o.ds. Excluding the three intermediate Supreme G.o.ds, if the others had not retreated in time, they would have been killed with just one strike.
Boom!
When the dust settled, Duan Ling Tian hovered in the void.
The members of the Xia clan stood in the distance with horrified expressions on their pale faces.
“So strong!”
“He’s just an intermediate Supreme G.o.d, right? How can an intermediate Supreme G.o.d be so strong?!”
“I’ve seen the clan leader fight before. If he doesn’t use his divine weapon, his strength is on par with his!”
“An intermediate Supreme G.o.d has strength on par with our clan leader?!”
Many people were in shock and disbelief. Some even felt that they were dreaming for a brief moment. How could it be possible for an intermediate Supreme G.o.d to be so powerful?
At this moment, a scoff rang in the air before a burly old man appeared in the sky with a group of old and middle-aged men behind him. Their expressions were one of righteous indignation, furious that someone hurt the members of the Xia clan and was trying to force his way into the Xia clan’s estate.
This group of newcomers was elders of the Xia clan, and the old man in the lead was the Second Elder of the Xia clan.
The Second Elder of the Xia clan came to a stop across from Duan Ling Tian. He stared at Duan Ling Tian with a gloomy expression and asked coldly, “Who are you? Why did you break into our Xia clan’s estate?”
“I’m Duan Ling Tian.”
At this time, Duan Ling Tian had calmed down a lot after venting his anger and anxiety on the patrolling members of the Xia clan. He continued to say, “I’m here because the supreme powerhouse who rewarded me ranking first in the advanced chaotic region’s overall ranking told me that my wife, Ke’er, also Eldest Young Miss Xia Ning Xue of the Xia clan, has encountered a problem. I harbor no ill intentions toward the Xia clan. I’m only here to see my wife!”
Everyone fell silent when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.
Duan Ling Tian?
They were a little uncertain earlier, but when Duan Ling Tian mentioned his name and that he ranked first in the advanced chaotic region’s overall ranking, they inhaled sharply. They were not unfamiliar with Duan Ling Tian’s name. After all, recently, he had become very famous in the Divine Offering Land and other Realms of G.o.ds.
They naturally heard that he was from the mundane realm. He was not even 1,000 years old when he became a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d. Not only that, but he ranked first in the rudimentary Supreme G.o.d ranking and the overall ranking in the advanced chaotic region. Although he was just a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d, he was comparable to top intermediate Supreme G.o.ds.
“He’s Duan Ling Tian?”
“As it turns out, it’s him!”
“I heard that the Eldest Young Miss’s husband in this life is someone from the mundane realm. However, I heard that her husband is very weak. How is he so strong?”
“So Duan Ling Tian had a connection with our Xia clan?”
The disciples of the Xia clan who were frightened and ashamed after being suppressed by Duan Ling Tian earlier returned to their senses. Unlike before, joyful expressions could be seen on their faces. Earlier, they were ashamed and furious because they thought he was an outsider, but upon learning about his connection to the Xia clan, all traces of dissatisfaction in their hearts vanished immediately.
Moreover, before Ke’er met with an accident, Xia Yu, the Clan Leader of the Xia clan, had instructed them not to be rude if Duan Ling Tian came and to treat him like an esteemed guest. At that time, most of them a.s.sumed Xia Yu’s treatment of Duan Ling Tian was due to Duan Ling Tian’s monstrous talent.
Many of them also did not think that Duan Ling Tian would come to their Xia clan even if the clan was a prime supreme-rank force. After all, currently, he was recognized as the strongest among the younger generation in the G.o.d Defying World. Many prime supreme-rank forces made many generous offers just to recruit him. As such, when they heard Xia Yu’s order, they felt that Xia Yu was thinking too much. Why would Duan Ling Tian come to the Xia clan?
However, after learning that Duan Ling Tian was the husband of Xia Ning Xue, their Eldest Young Miss, realization finally dawned on them.
“No wonder Clan Leader gave such an order at that time. I found it strange previously, but it makes sense now.”
“That’s right. Since Duan Ling Tian is our Clan Leader’s son-in-law, it’s only natural for him to come to our Xia clan.”
“The Xia clan has made it! Such a genius actually came to our clan!”
The group of people from the Xia clan were all pleasantly surprised.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was slightly confused when he heard that Ke’er’s father in her previous life, Xia Yu, actually ordered everyone to treat him like an esteemed guest. He found it hard to believe that Xia Yu was treating him so politely.
In Duan Ling Tian’s eyes, Xia Yu, the Clan Leader of the Xia clan, had always been a villain. After all, Xia Yu forced Ke’er to marry Yun Qing Yan in her previous life. Moreover, it seemed that Xia Jie, the Third Master of the Xia clan, also resented Xia Yu.
As such, it was hard for Duan Ling Tian to believe that Xia Yu actually welcomed him.
‘Is it due to my achievements on the Realm Battlefield? Or is it because something happened to Ke’er?’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly as his expression changed.
“Duan Ling Tian.”
The Second Elder of the Xia clan and the other elders, who were originally furious, were also stunned. They did not expect the young man in front of them to be Duan Ling Tian. After the revelation, they looked at him and realized that the young man in front of them indeed fit the description. He was dressed in a purple robe, and he was handsome and possessed an extraordinary bearing.
Suddenly, the expression of one elder changed as he exclaimed, “Wait! Isn’t Duan Ling Tian just a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d? The last time he was seen in the advanced chaotic region, he was still a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d who had yet to stabilize his cultivation base. T-this… H-he broke through into the realm of an intermediate Supreme G.o.d and even stabilized his cultivation base?!”
Earlier, before the elders arrived, they received a message that a very powerful intermediate Supreme G.o.d was forcing his way into the Xia clan’s estate. It was suspected that the other party was not inferior to a top advanced Supreme G.o.d. At that time, they did not take the message seriously. It was unlikely that an intermediate Supreme G.o.d was on par with a top advanced Supreme G.o.d, after all. Even the two known strongest intermediate Supreme G.o.ds only possessed the strength of a powerful advanced Supreme G.o.d; there was still some gap between the strength of the duo and a top advanced Supreme G.o.d.
They were shaken again by this revelation.
“Duan Ling Tian, you’ve become an intermediate Supreme G.o.d and stabilized your cultivation base?”
“The Realm Battlefield only closed a few years ago, but he has already made a breakthrough?”
“What’s going on? His cultivation speed is out of this world!”
“I heard that he was stuck in the realm of a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d for many years and was unable to stabilize his cultivation base. How did he become an intermediate Supreme G.o.d so quickly?”
While a few elders voiced their doubts, some members returned to their senses and spoke up.
“It must be because he has absorbed a large amount of liquid from the divine fountain!”
Everyone agreed with these words immediately, and their doubts were immediately dispelled. They knew that he was not only rewarded with a huge amount of liquid from the divine fountain, but he was also allowed to bathe in the divine fountain.
Some of them could not help but wonder if the Xia clan would get some liquid from the divine fountain since he was Xia Yu’s son-in-law.
