Chapter 2766: Utterly Destroyed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As soon as Tie Tai He roared…

Boom!

The vast and majestic Celestial Origin Energy in Tie Tai He’s body surged out, looking like six bolts of lightning. They made a terrifying sight.

‘Six Combination Celestial Duke!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

The six lightning bolts formed from Celestial Origin Energy surrounded Tie Tai He.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened when he saw the lightning bolts. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback. He had heard that the Sect Leader and Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were Seven Star Celestial Dukes while the two guardians were Six Combination Celestial Dukes. Moreover, he also knew, thanks to Brother Pei, that there was an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke in one of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. It was possible that the Sect Leader or the Supreme Elder had hidden the fact that one of them was an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke.

“Left Guardian!” Duan Ling Tian still remained calm when faced with the furious Tie Tai He. “If you kill me and Huan’er, the only thing you’ll gain is a completed mission. However, you’ll lose the chance of someone helping you to refine the Prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill.”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Tie Tai He, who was originally furious, halted his movements. He asked with a sneer, “Didn’t you say you’re not going to join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?”

“Yes, I can’t join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect… However, even if I don’t join the sect, it doesn’t mean I can’t help you to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill. As long as you provide me with the ingredients needed, I’ll refine the Overarching Heaven Pill for you even after I join the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. I will not go back on my words,” Duan Ling Tian said, “Of course, that would require you to trust me.”

Tie Tai He stared at Duan Ling Tian intently as he mulled over Duan Ling Tian’s words. He studied Duan Ling Tian’s face as though he was looking for signs that Duan Ling Tian was lying. After all, once Duan Ling Tian joined the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, it would be difficult for him to kill or threaten Duan Ling Tian. Unless he could be completely sure that Duan Ling Tian would not renege on the deal, it was much more beneficial for him to kill Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er.

Duan Ling Tian remained calm with no trace of guilt under Tie Tai He’s intense scrutiny. He would never go back on his words.

“I hope you don’t let me down.” In the end, Tie Tai He chose to trust Duan Ling Tian. Apart from his instinct that told him Duan Ling Tian was not a dishonest person, he felt there were much more benefits if he did not kill Duan Ling Tian. Moreover, there were no consequences even if he did not complete his mission. He was the Left Guardian of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect after all. If his gamble on Duan Ling Tian paid off, he would be able to obtain many Overarching Heaven Pill.

Whoosh!

Before Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er could react, Tie Tai He’s body flickered, and he disappeared before their eyes like a ghost as his voice resounded in the air. “The person who put a bounty on the girl is the Golden Light King, the Golden Tiger of the Golden Light Mansion… After I leave, I’ll help you kill him and his family!”

“The Golden Light King, the Golden Tiger?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned cold when he heard this. He did not expect the Golden Light King was so desperate for revenge that he would hire a black-market assassin to kill Huan’er.

Previously, Duan Ling Tian and the Golden Light King’s father had gotten into a conflict due to both of them possessing second form Chaos Divine Flames. In the end, Duan Ling Tian had absorbed the opponent’s Chaos Divine Flame after Huan’er killed the opponent. However, it was the Golden Light King’s father who had attacked him first. Huan’er only killed the Golden Light King’s father to protect him.


‘Fortunately, I’m a Prominent Celestial Alchemist now and can refine the Prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill… Otherwise, Huan’er would’ve died for sure.’ Duan Ling Tian felt a jolt of fear when he thought about this. If Huan’er was harmed because of him, he would never be able to forgive himself.

“The Golden King Light? The Golden Tiger? Why did he put a bounty on me? What did I do to him?” Contrary to Duan Ling Tian, Huan’er who had always been a carefree and cheerful person, had long forgotten the past.

“Huan’er, do you still remember the old fellow who wanted to kill me? He’s the Old Prince of the Golden Light Mansion. At that time, I asked you and Qiu Ling to protect me, and you used your Celestial Origin Energy to form ice walls to protect me,” Duan Ling Tian reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Huan’er finally remembered what happened. Her eyes were cold as she said, “So it was that guy… If I knew this was going to happen, I would’ve killed him there and then!”

“Well, there’s no need for you to do anything now. The Left Guardian of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect will kill him on our behalf,” Duan Ling Tian said.

“Brother Ling Tian, ​​why is helping us even though you’re not joining the Tai Yi Celestial Sect… Why is he helping us like this?” Huan’er asked in confusion.

“Huan’er, he’s a smart man after all.” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly as his eyes flashed. “Yes, it’s a gamble for him to choose to trust me. However, he knows that the pros outweigh the cons. Moreover, if he does me the favor of killing the Golden Light King, I’ll be even less likely to renege on our deal. It’d be embarrassing for a prominent Celestial Alchemist like me to do so.”

Huan’er nodded, vaguely understanding the situation.

Long Fei Yun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, had set up Formation in the guest courtyard so no one noticed Tie Tai He’s presence. With Tie Tai He’s strength, Qiu Ling, the most powerful person in Long Fei Yun’s residence, naturally, did not discover him as well.

After Tie Tai He left, Duan Ling Tian shifted his attention to Huan’er. “Huan’er, take this Overarching Heaven Pill and see if it’s compatible with the medicinal efficacy in your body.” He was eager to find out if the pill would have any effect on Huan’er and if it would improve her cultivation base. This was one of the reasons he had been trying so hard to refine Overarching Heaven Pills. He watched excitedly and expectantly as Huan’er took the pill.

However, Huan’er following words wiped the excited and expectant expression off his face. A hint of disappointment could be seen on his face as he smiled bitterly.

Huan’er said, “Brother Ling Tian, ​​the medicinal efficacy of the pill my mother had given me cancels of the medicinal efficacy of the Overarching Heaven Pill.”

Based on this, Duan Ling Tian realized how extraordinary the pill that Huan’er’s mother had given her was. Not only were ordinary pills useless to Huan’er, but even extraordinary pills like the Overarching Heaven Pill were useless.

“Brother Ling Tian, ​​it’s okay… Although the Overarching Heaven Pill doesn’t work on me, my cultivation speed is quite fast,” Huan’er said in an attempt to console Duan Ling Tian when she saw the disappointment on his face.

When she smiled, she looked as refreshing as the spring breeze to Duan Ling Tian. His mood, naturally, improved after he saw her smile. He fell into a daze as he looked at her beautiful face. It took him a while before he finally looked away.

About ten days later, a message arrived at the thirteenth prince’s residence in the Imperial palace.

“The Golden Light King, the Golden Tiger, of the Golden Light Mansion was killed… The Golden Light Mansion was utterly destroyed!”

Duan Ling Tian learned about this from Long Fei Yun.

Upon receiving the news, Long Fei Yun had instantly come to look for Duan Ling Tian to inform Duan Ling Tian about it. After all, he was aware of the conflict between Duan Ling Tian and the Golden Light Mansion.

“Even the people from the Golden Light Mansion who were in the Imperial palace are dead. Based on this, the assassin has to be an extremely strong Celestial Duke,” Long Fei Yun said animatedly as he sat across Duan Ling Tian at the stone table.

“The Golden Light Mansion… actually dared to provoke a Celestial Duke?” Duan Ling Tian cocked an eyebrow, slightly surprised. Although he knew Tie Tai He was going to kill the Golden Light King and the Golden Light Mansion, he did not expect Tie Tai He to be so thorough with his annihilation of the Golden Light Mansion. Even the people from the Golden Light Mansion who were in the Imperial palace were not spared.
