4434 Situ Lei Wants to Meet Duan Ling Tian
Tan Xiu Teng truly yearned to get his hands on the fire-type Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. However, he naturally would not risk his life for it. Nothing was more important than his life after all.
“Uncle Tan?”
Seeing that there was no response from Tan Xiu Teng for a long time, Meng Yu Zheng’s expression turned gloomy. He could not help but wonder if Tan Xiu Teng had second thoughts after what happened today.
“I know what to do,” Tan Xiu Teng finally replied, “I won’t miss the chance to borrow that Supreme Powerhouse Divinity from you.”
!!
Meng Yu Zheng finally heaved a sigh of relief after he heard Tan Xiu Teng’s words. His expression eased, and the corners of his lips curled up into a sneer.
Although Meng Yu Zheng was frustrated that the w.a.n.g clan had invited the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint here, he also knew it was impossible for the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint to watch over Duan Ling Tian all the time. Let alone a top supreme powerhouse like the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint, he did not think the w.a.n.g clan a.s.signed anyone as strong as Tan Xiu Teng to protect Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of Meng Yu Zheng and Tan Xiu Teng’s deal to kill him. At this moment, he was waiting for w.a.n.g Kui to return so they could continue with the wedding ceremony.
Meng Tian Feng’s arrival naturally stirred up a commotion among the guests. Most of them were still talking about Meng Tian Feng and Situ Lei, the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint. After all, Situ Lei was among the strongest supreme powerhouses in the Divine Sand Realm. Many of them sighed emotionally as they concluded that the w.a.n.g clan would continue to maintain their status as long as they had Situ Lei on their side.
…
At the same time, news of what happened during the wedding in the w.a.n.g clan spread quickly.
The individuals and forces who declined the invitation truly regretted their actions when they heard the news. They did not expect the w.a.n.g clan to have such a close relations.h.i.+p with Situ Lei, the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint, and to have successfully invited the latter to the wedding.
“I should’ve attended the wedding…”
“Even if I’m busy, I would’ve attended if I’d known better…”
“I wonder if the w.a.n.g clan took offense that I declined the invitation…”
This incident also stirred up a commotion in Blue Dawn City, and almost everyone knew about the supreme powerhouses who showed up in the w.a.n.g clan. As such, everyone’s focus switched from Li Feng and w.a.n.g Luo Yu, the newlyweds, to the two supreme powerhouses.
…
After the wedding ceremony ended, the newlyweds returned to the grandly decorated courtyard that the w.a.n.g clan had prepared for them.
After Duan Ling Tian and w.a.n.g Luo Yu entered the wedding room, the servants quickly left them alone.
“Brother Duan, thank you for all your hard work,” w.a.n.g Luo Yu said apologetically. Not only did Duan Ling Tian have to put on a show for the w.a.n.g clan, but he also had to deal with Meng Yu Zheng and Meng Tian Feng. Fortunately, nothing bad happened during the wedding.
“Don’t mention it,” Duan Ling Tian said with a faint smile, “We’ll spend the next few days in the room to convince the others that we’re deeply in love and inseparable. After that, I’ll meet the clan leader and tell him that I plan to bring you on a vacation. I don’t think the clan will suspect us. I’ll bring you away from the w.a.n.g clan like I promised your brother.”
The treasure that w.a.n.g Yi Yuan gave Duan Ling Tian was extremely precious and useful to Duan Ling Tian so he was determined to repay w.a.n.g Yi Yuan and fulfill w.a.n.g Yi Yuan’s final wish.
“Alright,” w.a.n.g Luo Yu replied. She could not help but feel excited when she thought about gaining her freedom in a few days. However, tears soon welled up in her eyes when she thought about her late brother. She recovered quickly and thought to herself, ‘I must live well so that brother’s effort will not be in vain…’
Following that, Ye Qiang Wei’s slender figure appeared in w.a.n.g Luo Yu’s mind. Apart from her brother, she trusted Ye Qiang Wei the most. After a brief moment of hesitation, she looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Brother Duan, I… I think Sister Qiang Wei likes you… She’s a really nice person… If it’s possible…”
Duan Ling Tian did not let w.a.n.g Luo Yu finish speaking before he interjected, “It’s impossible. I’m married. After finding a place for you to settle down, I’m going to continue to look for ways to save my wife. I’d appreciate it if you don’t speak of this matter anymore.”
Duan Ling Tian’s voice grew indifferent near the end of his words.
w.a.n.g Luo Yu nodded and no longer said anything; she only sighed inwardly. After leaving Blue Dawn City, it was unlikely that she would meet Ye Qiang Wei again. After all, the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary were vast. Although she trusted Ye Qiang Wei, she had already promised Duan Ling Tian that she would not tell another soul about their plan.
“Luo Yu, you can have the bed. Rest well in the coming days.”
After saying that, Duan Ling Tian disappeared into the ordinary spatial divine artifact that he had forged during his free time. Although his skill did not improve much from when he was in the mundane realm, he was able to forge the divine artifact after reading some scrolls in the Outer Boundary with his law of s.p.a.ce.
The spatial divine artifact looked just like an ordinary metal fragment. He had placed it near one of the legs of the table because it was unnoticeable.
Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Luo Yu was curious about where Duan Ling Tian had gone, but it did not cross her mind at all that Duan Ling Tian might abandon her. She was confident he would not do such a thing. Otherwise, he would not have come to Blue Dawn City at all.
…
‘Heaven Bearing Sword Saint…’
Duan Ling Tian sat cross-legged in the air as he recalled the day’s events. Based on the conversations he overheard and Meng Tian Feng’s respectful att.i.tude, it was clear that Situ Lei, the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint was a formidable supreme powerhouse.
‘So he’s on par with Chi Ming, the supreme demon of Chi Ming Mountain?’
Duan Ling Tian had yet to meet Situ Lei, but he had seen Chi Ming in action in Dancing Sun City. Chi Ming had domineeringly led his troops of demons to destroy Dancing Sun City’s five major clans. With the help of another powerful supreme powerhouse, Chi Ming managed to kill a few of the five supreme powerhouses and forced the surviving ones to flee. If Situ Lei was as strong as Chi Ming, he must be capable of such a feat as well.
‘The Heaven Bearing Sword Saint… It seems like he’s a sword cultivator as well… Earlier, someone said that his comprehension of the Sword Dao is very profound,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as his eyes lit up, ‘I wonder whose Sword Dao is more profound? Mine or his? His Sword Dao can’t be more profound than mine, right?’
Duan Ling Tian was very confident about his Sword Dao. Although Situ Lei was much older and was a supreme powerhouse, comprehending the Sword Dao relied on one’s innate talent and comprehension skills and fortuitous encounters. Moreover, he also heard earlier that Situ Lei did not become a supreme powerhouse because of his Sword Dao. Before Situ Lei became a supreme powerhouse, his Sword Dao was not strong enough to help him break into the realm of supreme powerhouses.
‘I wonder if the w.a.n.g clan will arrange for us to meet,’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly.
…
To Duan Ling Tian’s surprise, a few days later, he ran into w.a.n.g Kui, who seemed to be in a hurry, as soon as he left his room.
w.a.n.g Kui looked at Duan Ling Tian meaningfully and said, “Brother Li Feng, I believe you’ve heard about Situ Situ during the wedding. Senior Situ will be leaving in a few days, and he wants to meet you before he leaves.”
