While Duan Ling Tian, Qin Yu, and Zheng Qiu continued on their journey to the County City of Nine Specters County, a travel-weary figure appeared in the Yun family’s estate in the Divine Offering Land.
The figure bowed at the Great Young Master of Yun family, Yun Qing Yan, before respectfully greeting him. “Young Master.”
The figure wore a panicked expression on his face at this moment. If Duan Ling Tian was here, he would be able to recognize this man. This man was none other than Yun Ye, the powerhouse from the Yun family who was stronger than most Heavenly Emperors. Previously, he had almost killed Duan Ling Tian in Yan Huang Realm. Due to the intervention from Xia Jie, the Third Master of the Xia family, he failed to kill Duan Ling Tian and had to miserably flee back to the Divine Offering Land.
When Yun Qing Yan saw the expression on Yun Ye’s face, he frowned. “What’s it? Did something happen?” He knew Yun Ye would not be in this state if it was not serious.
“Young Master, I received news from someone in the Xia family that Miss Ning Xue has gone to the Realm Battlefield without the knowledge of the Clan Leader of the Xia family!” Yun Ye said in a low voice.
Yun Qing Ye’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He looked at Yun Ye as his eyes gleamed coldly, “What? Are you sure the news you received isn’t fake?”
“I had gone to verify this news with a few people from the Xia family. I’m certain the news is real. However, since the Clan Leader of the Xia family is also in the Realm Battlefield, I’m afraid he’s not aware of this yet. After all, the Realm Battlefield is vast with many entry points.” Yun Ye smiled bitterly.
“Her cultivation base hasn’t recovered to its original state. Her strength now is much weaker compared to before. In fact, she’s much weaker than the weakest person to enter the Realm Battlefield. Why did she risk her life to enter the Realm Battlefield?” Yun Qing Yan said with a darkened expression.
“As the Eldest Miss of the Xia family, I think Miss Ning Xue only has one purpose of entering the Realm Battlefield. She’s probably trying to recover her strength and get stronger in a short period of time,” Yun Ye speculated out loud.
Yun Qing Yan’s expression darkened even more upon hearing Yun Ye’s words. He knew Yun Ye’s speculation was most likely right. The reason Xia Ning Yue had gone to the Realm Battlefield to get stronger was so she could annul their engagement again after 1,000 years!
Yun Qing Yan clenched his teeth and said with a growl, “Just to avoid marrying me, you’re willing to risk your life and enter the Realm Battlefield? Do you really despise me so much? After 1,000 years, when the tunnels connecting the Divine Offering Land to the Devata Realms are opened again, I’ll definitely search for Duan Ling Tian and cut him into pieces before destroying his corpse to make you give up all hope!” As he spoke, his eyes gleamed with resentment and rage.
…
Meanwhile, in the Xia family, a tall middle-aged man with a strong body like an iron tower with a curly beard hurriedly approached Xia Jie, the Third Master of the Xia family. He glared at Xia Jie like a provoked lion as he asked in a low voice, “Third brother, are you the one who sent Ning Xue into the Realm Battlefield?”
“Second brother, what are you talking about? I don’t understand what you’re saying!” Xia Jie replied flippantly as he briefly glanced at the middle-aged man before he continued with what he was doing.
The middle-aged man was Xia Tie, the Second Master of the Xia family. His expression became darker as he looked at Xia Jie. “Apart from you, there’s no one in the Xia family who would dare to send her in. With her current strength, there’s no way she could’ve entered the Realm Battlefield without any help!”
“Second brother, please don’t make baseless accusations when you don’t have any evidence. Even if eldest brother were here, I’d still say the same thing. I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Xia Jie said nonchalantly. He was clearly not bothered with Xia Tie, his second brother.
Xia Tie glared at Xia Jie and coldly said, “Xia Jie! I know you hate me and eldest brother because of that matter. However, this is about Ning Xue. Can you put aside your hatred from that incident for a moment? Moreover, we only did that for your good. If that woman lived, you would have died. We only did it to protect you!” Xia Jie’s tone grew grimmer as he spoke.
Xia Jie suddenly lifted his head, revealing his face under the messy hair. He sneered before he said, “You only did it to protect me? In my opinion, both of you were protecting the Xia family. I had said at that time that I would sever my ties with the Xia family to avoid dragging the family into the matter. However, what did both of you do at that time? You deliberately lured me away so that you could kill her! Do you know why I’m still alive? Revenge! If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t be able to survive until today!” As he spoke, his sneer deepened.
Xia Tie said in a low voice, “Stop it! Stop talking about that incident. I came to tell you that you’re being too reckless. You know what the Realm Battlefield is like. With Ning Xue’s current strength, she’ll definitely die in there! If anything happens to her, you’ll be indirectly responsible for her death! Don’t you love her a lot? Why are you so muddle-headed this time and sent her in there?” He became angrier and angrier as he spoke.
“Muddle-headed? We all know eldest brother is the muddle-headed one. Xue’er has already found a partner and had even given birth to a daughter, but he still insists on marrying her to that brat from the Yun family! Is the family’s interest more important than his daughter’s happiness?” Xia Jie said with a cold smile. Finally, he decided to confess and said resolutely, “That’s right. I was the one who sent Xue’er to the Realm Battlefield. The Xia family has destroyed my happiness, I wish the same won’t happen to my niece. Moreover, I’ve also promised Xue’er that if anything were to happen to her, I’ll send her daughter and her friends back to the mundane realm safely after 1,000 years! At that time, if you and eldest brother try to stop me from fulfilling her wish, I’ll sever our ties as brothers. The only way you can stop me is to kill me!” As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash.
Xia Tie trembled in fury and his expression, that was partially hidden by his curly beard, turned unsightly. It took him a while to regain his composure. A hint of helplessness could also be seen in the depths of reddish-brown eyes. A bitter smile appeared on his face as he shook his head. “When eldest brother finds out about this, he’ll be enraged.”
…
Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware of what was happening in the Divine Offering Land. At this moment, he was traveling with Qin Yu and Zheng Qiu to the County City of the Nine Specters County.
After checking the contents of the twenty-odd Spatial Rings from the robbers, he could not find any pills at all. He thought to himself, ‘It seems like the primitive Spirit Nourishing Pill that the City Governor gave me is truly precious. In any case, those robbers really had a lot of Celestial Stones. There are about 100 prominent Celestial Stones and even more mediocre Celestial Stones. As for primitive Celestial Stones, there are countless of them. There are also a few Celestial Weapons.’ He had killed the robbers before they could even take out their Celestial Weapons after all.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian heard a voice that was sent through Voice Transmission. It was from Qin Yu.”Duan Ling Tian, is it true that you just ascended to the Spirit Overarching Heaven about half a year ago just like the people from the Silverwyrm Army said?”
Duan Ling Tian was taken aback by this sudden question. He turned to Qin Yu and transmitted his voice. “Do you believe them?”
“I find it difficult to believe those people’s words, but I believe in your words!” Qin Yu replied through Voice Transmission. It was clear he would believe Duan Ling Tian regardless of how preposterous or unbelievable Duan Ling Tian’s words were.
Duan Ling Tian looked at Qin Yu meaningfully before he asked through Voice Transmission, “Is it important whether I’ve just ascended or not?” He did not intend to conceal this matter. However, ever since he met Liu Feng Gu, the City Governor of Bloody Specter City, he was made aware that it would only put him in a disadvantageous position if he recklessly revealed that he had just ascended about half a year ago. Although there was no one who could threaten him in Bloody Specter City, the County City of the Nine Specters County was a different story.
