Chapter 3927: Leaving the Flying Dragon Sect

“Young Master Duan, how do you know?” Xue Ming Zhi’s eyes widened, and his face paled in shock. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to know that Emperor of Gods. After all, based on his investigations, apart from Linghu Ren Jie, no one in the Linghu clan knew Linghu Ren Feng was an Emperor of Gods. How could Duan Ling Tian know?

“I’m just guessing,” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently. His gaze toward Xue Ming Zhi still carried a hint of hostility. He found it difficult to forgive Xue Ming Zhi for sending a Black Dragon Elder to the Linghu clan to kill Linghu Ren Jie. This had crossed his bottom line.

Xue Ming Zhi noticed Duan Ling Tian’s hostile gaze and smiled bitterly. He knew it was unlikely that Duan Ling Tian would let him go now. He sighed and said, “Young Master Duan, my only wish is that you’ll spare my daughter.”

“As long as she doesn’t take the initiative to provoke me, I won’t target her,” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently.

With that, Xue Ming Zhi fell silent. He did not move, waiting for Duan Ling Tian to kill him.

At the same time, Long Qing Chong, who was standing at the side, remained silent. After all, this was also within his expectations. Moreover, he had already told Duan Ling Tian he would not intervene if Duan Ling Tian insisted on taking Xue Ming Zhi’s life.

After killing Xue Ming Zhi, Duan Ling Tian looked at Long Qing Chong and said apologetically, “Sect leader, I apologize. If he didn’t send someone to kill Linghu Ren Jie, I would’ve done you a favor and let him go. However, he really crossed the line. Even if I didn’t kill him today, I would still kill him in the future.”

“I understand.” Long Qing Chong nodded. He did not blame Duan Ling Tian at all. In fact, he felt that Duan Ling Tian was already being quite understanding. If he were in Duan Ling Tian’s shoes, he would have made the same choice.

“Alright, I’ll deal with the mess here,” Long Qing Chong said, “You should look for Elder Zhen now. I only hope that you’ll remember that you were once part of the Flying Dragon Sect after joining the Pure Yang Sect.”

“Of course,” Duan Ling Tian said before bidding farewell to Long Qing Chong and left to look for the two elders of the Pure Yang Sect.

…

After Duan Ling Tian left the Flying Dragon Sect with the two elders of Pure Yang Sect, Long Qing Chong made a shocking announcement.

“We’ve investigated the origins of the death warriors who tried to kill Duan Ling Tian previously and discovered they were hired by Vice Sect Leader Xue and his son-in-law, Zhong Can after colluding with a few members from the 10,000 Devils Sect. The people from the 10,000 Devils Sect have been executed; Xue Ming Zhi and Zhong Can have also been executed by the sect. This concludes the investigation. I’d like to remind everyone again to adhere to the rules of the Flying Dragon Sect. Don’t think you can get away if you break the rules. Even if you hire death warriors, we’ll still be able to uncover the truth.”

The Flying Dragon Sect was in an uproar.

No one expected this announcement from Long Qing Chong.

“Those two death warriors were hired by Vice Sect Leader Xue, Zhong Can, and the 10,000 Devils Sect?”

“I wonder how the sect found out about this when the death warriors are dead.”

“I find this strange as well. There shouldn’t be any clues.”

“The sect is quite amazing. They managed to find the culprit when there were almost no clues at all…”

Many people who had considered hiring death warriors to deal with their enemies, inspired by Duan Ling Tian’s assassination attempt, quickly dismissed this thought.

It was only natural that not everyone got along in the Flying Dragon Sect. There were many whose archenemies were fellow sect members. An example of this was Xue Hai Chuan, Xue Hai Shan, and Liu Yin.

Many thought they would be able to get away with hiring death warriors to kill their enemies, but Long Qing Chong’s words shattered their hopes immediately.

…

“Father! Brother Can!”

Previously, Xue Ming Zhi’s daughter was still in shock and grieving her husband’s sudden disappearance and death after she found his shattered Soul Pearl. When her father’s Soul Pearl had shattered as well, she was even more shocked, completely unable to accept the reality. She even convinced herself that there were problems with her father and husband’s Soul Pearls.

However, her delusions were quickly shattered when she heard Long Qing Chong’s announcement. Her father and husband were truly dead; they were executed by the sect!

“What happened? How’s this possible? How did the sect find out? Father and I were the only ones who knew about this matter? Did father’s friend betray him? It must be him! It must be him! Brother Can had nothing to do with this matter. Why was he executed? Why! Someone tell me what’s going on!”

While Xue Ming Zhi’s daughter was still in a state of confusion, Long Qing Chong sent someone to capture her and bring her away from the sect.

“Due to Xue Ming Zhi’s heinous crime, the sect leader has ordered for you, as his daughter, to be expelled from the sect. The sect will spare your life considering you were unaware of the matter.”

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming Zhi’s daughter wondered inwardly, ‘The sect thinks I’m unaware? Why? Did… Did Brother Can take the blame for me?’

…

Duan Ling Tian, who had left the Flying Dragon Sect, found out about what happened through Voice Transmissions by Xue Hai Chuan, Dongfang Yan Nian, Ding Yan, and Hou Qing Ning. After all, this matter was related to him.

Duan Ling Tian was naturally not surprised. After all, he had known this would happen before leaving the Flying Dragon Sect.

“Duan Ling Tian,” Zhen Ping Fan, the Nirvanic Elder from the Pure Yang Sect, who was walking next to Duan Ling Tian, called out.

Initially, Duan Ling Tian, like Qin Wu Yang, had politely walked behind Zhen Ping Fan as a sign of respect. However, Zhen Ping Fangwanted to chat with him so he ended up walking next to Zhen Ping Fan. He did not think too much of the matter.

As for Qin Wu Yang, he maintained his position. How could he walk next to his junior granduncle? Even if his junior granduncle did not mind it, he had been taught it was rude to do so.

“How do you think the people of the Linghu clan will react once they find out you managed to gather 100,000 million divine rocks in such a short time?” Zhen Ping Fang asked with a hint of anticipation. He was like a playful child, and he seemed even more interested in this compared to Duan Ling Tian.

“They’ll probably be surprised,” Duan Ling Tian replied. If he did know better, he would have thought Zhen Ping Fan was younger than him, based on Zhen Ping Fan’s behavior. Not only did Zhen Ping Fan like to stir up trouble, but he liked to watch the drama as well.

“Probably?” Zhen Ping Fan frowned slightly. It was as though he was disappointed with such a boring outcome.

Duan Ling Tian replied helplessly, “I meant to say definitely. They’ll definitely be surprised.”

Zhen Ping Fan’s smile widened. “That’s right! This reaction alone is worthy of the 100,000 divine rocks I gave you! Hmm, will they be more surprised if they knew I gave you a million divine crystals?”

Zhen Ping Fan’s eyes brightened as he continued muttering to himself.

Seeing this, Duan Ling Tian felt really helpless. He really did not know how to communicate with this elder who was like a playful child.

Duan Ling Tian turned slightly and asked Qin Wu Yang through Voice Transmission, “Elder Qin, has Elder Zhen always been like this?”

“Uh, not really…” Qin Wu Yang replied, “Junior granduncle is usually quite serious. He’s only like this with his friends or people he gets along with. He’s usually in closed-door cultivation and keeps to himself a lot.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. It seemed like Zhen Ping Fan was usually reserved unless he was with those he got along with.

‘That’s good as well. He’s so easy-going that I won’t feel tired about maintaining strict etiquette,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a smile. It was rather relaxing to be with Zhen Ping Fan. The atmosphere was light; it was not stifling or solemn.

When they were approaching Linghu City where the Linghu clan’s estate was located, Duan Ling Tian sent a message to Linghu Ren Jie.

Linghu Ren Jie was surprised when he received Duan Ling Tian’s message. “Duan Ling Tian? You came out from the Imperial War Realm?”

Linghu Ren Jie had spoken to Duan Ling Tian previously before Duan Ling Tian entered the Imperial War Realm so he was under the impression that Duan Ling Tian was still in there.

“Clan leader, I’m about to arrive in Linghu City,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“Huh? You’re about to arrive in Linghu City?” Linghu Ren Jie was stunned. Then, he asked worriedly, “You left the Flying Dragon Sect so rashly, aren’t you worried that you’ll be targeted by your enemies? Are you alone?”

Although Duan Ling Tian did not mention his trouble in the Flying Dragon Sect to Linghu Ren Jie, he had vaguely heard about it from members of the clan who had joined the Flying Dragon Sect. After all, the number of members from the Linghu clan in the Flying Dragon Sect was not smaller than that of the 10,000 Devils Sect. Although Duan Ling Tian rarely interacted with them, they naturally knew a lot about him.
