Chapter 3815: Linghu Ren Jie is in Danger

Although the Flying Dragon Sect currently did not have Emperors of Gods, they had many Lords of Gods. For this reason, they managed to maintain their power; not even top lord-rank forces could compare to them. Moreover, their cultivation resources and environment were far better than any top lord-rank force.

Unless the cultivation resources were given by the Flying Dragon Sect for some reason, the disciples had to rely on themselves to obtain resources. To do this, they would need contribution points.

For example, the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pills, which were the rewards for the Latent Dragon Grand Contest, could be exchanged for in the Internal Affairs Pavilion albeit for a high number of contribution points. It should be noted that the pills were not available in the External Affairs Pavilion.

It was considered a great deal to be rewarded with the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pills through the Latent Grand Contest. Many advanced Kings of Gods, who were inner disciples, were envious and jealous that they could not participate in the contest.

“Alright. You can all take your leave now,” Dongfang Yan Nian said, dismissing the new disciples. Then, he followed Duan Ling Tian into his chosen courtyard.

Then, the duo sat down at a stone table and began to chat.

…

Upon seeing this, the others began to gossip among themselves. Many of them looked at the purple figure with jealous and envious expressions on their faces.

“Duan Ling Tian seems very familiar with Elder Dongfang.”

“Elder Dongfang is a White Dragon Elder. Since Duan Ling Tian has a good relationship with him, not many people would dare to provoke Duan Ling Tian even though he’s a newcomer.”

“I’m so jealous he has such a good relationship with a White Dragon Elder!”

…

As soon as Dongfang Yan Nian sat down, he said solemnly, “Little Tian, don’t leave the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate unless it’s absolutely necessary. Otherwise, your safety won’t be guaranteed once you leave the sect. If you really need to leave, speak to your friend, Ding Yan. As long as Revered Elder Sikong is willing to help, you’ll be able to get a Black Dragon Elder to protect you. With that, if the culprit is from the sect, no one but Vice Sect Leader Xue himself would be able to harm you. However, it’s unlikely for Vice Sect Leader to personally make a move. Moreover, it would take some time for him to kill a Black Dragon Elder as well; during that time, he would risk the elder sending news back to the sect.”

Based on Dongfan Yan Nian’s words, it was clear he thought that Vice Sect Leader Xue was Duan Ling Tian’s strongest enemy in the Flying Dragon Sect.

Although Vice Sect Leader had no conflicts with Duan Ling Tian, his daughter was the wife of Kuang Tian Zheng’s second disciple. Kuang Tian Zheng, despite having no evidence, was determined to avenge Chu Han, his disciple, who was killed by Duan Ling Tian. Vice Sect Leader Xue’s son-in-law was not only Kuang Tian Zheng’s disciple, but he was also Chu Han’s senior brother.

Everyone knew Vice Sect Leader Xue loved his daughter dearly. So long as his daughter spoke up and asked him to get rid of Duan Ling Tian, he would definitely be willing to do so as long as no one found out.

“Brother Yan Nian, thank you for your reminder,” Duan Ling Tian said with a solemn expression. Xue Hai Chuan had also said the same words to him previously. Needless to say, he did not plan to leave the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate without good reasons. Moreover, his priority now was to raise his cultivation base. In this dog-eat-dog world, one would only have control of one’s destiny if one was strong enough. With these thoughts in mind, he could not help but feel pressured and suffocated.

“Alright. I’m glad you understand. If you need anything, just send me a message. I’ll take my leave now,” Dongfang Yan Nian said as he rose to his feet. He did not intend to stay any longer.

After sending Dongfang Yan Nian off, Duan Ling Tian returned to his room and began to plan how he would form doppelgangers from the other laws. He was not in a rush to cultivate; he was planning to wait for the rewards from the Latent Dragon Grand Contest before doing so.

…

A few days later.

Dongfang Yan Nian came and handed Duan Ling Tian his rewards. He was also given an entry token to enter the chamber of laws in the Flying Dragon Sect.

Apart from the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill, Duan Ling Tian received many other divine pills as well. Although they were not as valuable as the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill, they were still very useful in helping him to become an advanced King of Gods.

Duan Ling Tian could not help the smile that appeared on his face when he saw his rewards. In the end, he decided to use the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill first.

One did not have to necessarily wait until one was an advanced King of Gods before taking the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill. If one took the pill before becoming an advanced King of Gods, the efficacy of the pill would be stored, and it would be triggered when the bottleneck when one was about to break through from an advanced King of Gods to a rudimentary King of Gods appeared.

“The Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill is really amazing!” Duan Ling Tian exclaimed, amazed, when he sensed the efficacy of the pill. The efficacy did not weaken at all. It was unlike the lord-grade divine pills he refined that would inevitably have weakened efficacy if it was stored in his body.

…

At this moment, a figure flashed and came to a stop outside Linghu City.

The figure belonged to a thin gloomy-looking old man.

At this moment, the old man looked at Linghu City with icy eyes as he muttered under his breath, “Linghu clan, Linghu Ren Jie… I’ve long heard about the impressive strength of the Linghu clan’s Guarding Formation. Today, I’ll finally be able to see if it lives up to its reputation.”

Following that, with a wave of his hand, the identity token at his waist flew into his hand. Then, he put it away in his spatial ring.

If Duan Ling Tian were present, he would recognize the identity token. The identity token resembled the one hanging at the waist of Lan Yu Shan, the Black Dragon Elder who was in charge of the Latent Dragon Grand Contest. The identity token was unique to Black Dragon Elders of the Flying Dragon Sect.

“You’re really unlucky that I owe Vice Sect Leader Xue a favor,” the old man said before he flashed up into the sky above Linghu City.

The old man hovered in the sky and surveyed the city as he muttered under his breath, “The city has indeed been renovated. Rumors about the Supreme Elder of the Hidden Fog Sect blowing up his Little World is true after all…”

Following that, the old man moved at lightning speed. In just a moment, he appeared east of the city where the Linghu clan’s estate was located.

As soon as he arrived, he extended his Divine Consciousness into the Linghu clan’s estate. After a moment, he frowned slightly.

“The Formation is quite complex. I heard there was a formidable Formation master in the Linghu clan in the past. I didn’t expect him to be so skilled. In fact, he’s not much weaker than me,” the old man muttered to himself. A hint of arrogance could be heard in his voice as he added, “Although there are quite a few flaws with the formation, it’d be troublesome for me to destroy it. However, it won’t be a problem for me to deactivate it temporarily. Once it’s deactivated, I’ll be able to deal with Linghu Ren Jie.”

Following that, the old man waved his hands around. Strands of Divine Energy shot out and weaved themselves into the Formation. As he worked to deactivate the Formation, the Linghu estate was quiet.

After about 15 minutes, the old man finally dropped his hands to the sides. “Done.”

Swoosh!

The old man flashed and appeared in front of an elder of the Linghu clan who was in the midst of drinking tea in a courtyard.

“You…”

Before the elder of the Linghu clan could react, the old man placed his hand on the elder’s shoulder. Following that, his Divine Energy surged into the body of the elder, suppressing the elder’s Divine Energy.

“You, you, you’re an intermediate Lord of Gods?!” the elder of the Linghu clan exclaimed in shock.

‘How did he get in here? Who is he? Even advanced Lords of Gods would have a difficult time with our Guarding Formation!’ Question after question appeared in the mind of the elder of the Linghu clan.

At this time, the old man said icily, “Bring me to Linghu Ren Jie. If you dare to play any tricks, I’ll kill you immediately.”

The elder of the Linghu clan did not doubt the old man’s words at all. Out of fear for his life, he led the old man to Linghu Ren Jie’s courtyard.

When they arrived outside of Linghu Ren Jie’s courtyard, the old man extended his Divine Consciousness and sensed the presence of a rudimentary Lord of Gods in there. He knew it had to be Linghu Ren Jie. After he withdrew his Divine Consciousness, he waved his hand wordlessly, turning the elder of the Linghu clan into a mist of blood. Even the elder’s robes were reduced to dust.

Swoosh!

The old man flew into Linghu Ren Jie’s courtyard.

At this moment, Linghu Ren Jie, who was sitting in a pavilion, finally noticed something was amiss. Before he could react, he saw a figure appear in front of him, causing his expression to change drastically.

“Who are you?!” Linghu Ren Jie narrowed his eyes as his expression darkened. The other party managed to bypass the Linghu clan’s Guarding Formation, after all.

The old man did not reply to Linghu Ren Jie. Instead, he asked, “You’re Linghu Ren Jie?”

Upon hearing this, realization dawned on Linghu Ren Jie. He asked, “You’re from the Flying Dragon Sect?”

“He must be the target,” the old man muttered to himself before Divine Energy surged out of his body. With a wave of his hand, a wind blade shot toward Linghu Ren Jie with a loud whoosh.

Due to the gap between their strength, Linghu Ren Jie could not react in time at all.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a figure appeared silently in front of Linghu Ren Jie.

The old man had attacked with a force that could easily kill an ordinary intermediate Lord of Gods. However, before his attack could even land on Linghu Ren Jie, the figure easily and quietly destroyed his wind blade.
