Chapter 3965: The 10,000 Devils Sect Is in Chaos

The Pure Yang Sect was like a land of blessing to Duan Ling Tian. Ever since he came here, his cultivation had progressed tremendously. Although the Pure Yang Sect contributed significantly to his progress, the Limit Divine Pills he refined played a significant role as well. After obtaining some rare medicinal herbs from the Pure Yang Sect, which the Flying Dragon Sect failed to obtain previously, he was able to refine rarer divine pills. Apart from the cultivation resources given by the Pure Yang Sect and the divine pills he refined, the Cloud Peak faction also spared no effort in helping him. With this, he continued to make progress.

“Elder Zhen said that as long as I become an intermediate Lord of Gods within 20 years, I’ll be able to participate in the Eastern Ridge Mansion’s five top forces’ Trading Conference. Based on the speed of my progress now, I should be able to break through a few years earlier than I expected…”

Apart from cultivating, Duan Ling Tian would leave his room occasionally to take a break. He would also switch things up by refining divine pills, comprehending the law of space through the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, or watching battle recordings of powerhouses who comprehended the law of space. Hence, his law of space had improved so much that it had already surpassed that of the Pristine Void Elders and was on par with ordinary Spirit Void Elders in the Pure Yang Sect. However, he knew it was still a far cry from extraordinary Spirit Void Elders like Qin Wu Yang or Zhao Lu.

Duan Ling Tian was granted access to the Pure Yang Sect’s chambers of laws, but he discovered that they did not help him much. The chambers of law here were of the same grade as the ones in the Flying Dragon Sect; it was just that they had richer Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. After all, as one of the top five strongest forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, the Pure Yang Sect naturally had much more divine rocks and divine crystals compared to the Flying Dragon Sect.

The chambers of laws were not useful in improving his law of space, but they were quite useful for comprehending his other laws. However, he knew the Pure Yang Sect would not question him if he stayed in the chamber of laws comprehending the law of space, but if he spent too much time comprehending other laws, the sect would definitely say something. This was not surprising since the sect had given him all these privileges only because they had high hopes that he would rank in the top 10 during the Seven Mansions Feast. His law of space could naturally boost his strength greatly unlike the other laws. After all, he had not spent as much time comprehending them compared to the laws of space. He was very self-aware so he did not bother taking advantage of his privilege to comprehend the other laws in the chambers of laws.

‘I’m sure some members of the sect will have an opinion if I let my doppelgangers comprehend the other laws in the chambers of laws. In any case, no one will dare to have an opinion ifI rank in the top ten during the Seven Mansions Feast…’

Duan Ling Tian was not someone who cared about others’ opinions of him. However, he did not want to cause trouble for the Cloud Peak faction since he had a good relationship with Zhen Ping Fan, who was also the son of Zhen Yun Feng, the leader of the Cloud Peak faction.

…

In just a blink of an eye, five peaceful years had passed.

Duan Ling Tian was still cultivating diligently. He rarely left his cultivation ground, not even to refine lord-grade Limit Divine Pills since he had refined enough of them to last him until he became an intermediate Lord of Gods.

…

The Ping Sheng faction.

The Ping Sheng faction was also the faction that Yang Qian Ye, the son of the Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect, joined after joining the Pure Yang Sect.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a medium build dressed in a long green robe flew in the sky above the Ping Sheng Island. Although his appearance was very ordinary, he possessed a pair of spirited and resolute eyes.

When an old man flew past, he bowed at the middle-aged man and called out, “Greetings, senior uncle.”

“Little Yu Nian.” The middle-aged man nodded with a smile before he flew away.

The old man was an elder who was patrolling the area. Based on the way he addressed the middle-aged man, it was clear that he was lower in seniority even though he looked old enough to be the middle-aged man’s father.

…

The Imperial War was still ongoing between the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect, and the atmosphere was still tense.

Duan Ling Tian’s departure did not greatly affect the Flying Dragon Sect’s performance during the Imperial War. However, since he was widely acknowledged as a prodigy, his departure to the Pure Yang Sect naturally stirred up a huge commotion. After all, it was unprecedented in the Flying Dragon Sect for an Emperor of Gods to personally recruit and escort someone to the Pure Yang Sect.

Near the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.

At this moment, the middle-aged man from the Pure Yang Sect’s Ping Sheng faction had appeared near the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate. A faint smile could be seen on his face as he looked at the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate. After a moment, he disappeared from sight. It seemed like the Flying Dragon Sect was not his destination, and he was only passing by. Based on the direction he had left in, he seemed to be heading toward the 10,000 Devils Sect.

Swoosh!

Soon enough, a distance away from the Flying Dragon Sect, a flying ship flew up into the air and sailed in the direction of the 10,000 Devils Sect at an average speed.

At this time, the middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged in the flying ship. There were at least 20 Floating Image Pearls hovering in front of him at this moment. He extended his Divine Consciousness into the pearls, and the recordings started playing at the same time. All the recordings shared one commonality; they all featured the same tall and burly man fighting.

If Duan Ling Tian was present, he would be able to recognize the man with just a glance. It was none other than Long Qing Chong, the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect. He was an advanced Lord of Gods who was comparable to the Golden Dragon Elders in the Flying Dragon Sect. He was also the youngest advanced Lord of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect. Even without the Imperial War, he still had a high chance of becoming an Emperor of Gods.

Through the recordings, it could be easily seen that Long Qing Chong comprehended the law of metal. When he attacked, there would be flashes of golden light.

The middle-aged man frowned as he shook his head and muttered under his breath, “It’s rather difficult for me to imitate him since the law of metal isn’t my forte.” Then, his eyes suddenly flashed as though he just recalled something. “I almost forgot. Lan Qing, the Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect is only a rudimentary Lord of Gods, and the others are even weaker! Even if I’m not an expert in the law of metal, no one will be able to sense anything. As long as my appearance is flawless, no one will be the wiser! They won’t be able to discover anything wrong when they play the recording since they won’t be able to sense my Divine Consciousness through the recording.”

…

Three days later.

A figure entered the 10,000 Devils Sect’s estate silently and appeared at Lan Qing’s cultivation ground. After that, he killed Lan Qing in full view of the high-ranking officials of the 10,000 Devils Sect. Everything happened so quickly that no one was able to react in time, let alone probe the other party with their Divine Consciousnesses.

Later on, one of the high-ranking officials found a Floating Image Pearl near Lan Qing’s corpse. Conveniently, it contained the recording of Lan Qing’s assassination. It also showed that the assassin was a tall and burly figure dressed in a black robe whose face was hidden. He killed Lan Qing with just two moves, and when he attacked, his Divine Energy was golden like the sun, indicating he had imbued it with the law of metal.

“The sect leader was killed so easily!”

“The assassin has to be an advanced Lord of Gods at least. I don’t think an intermediate Lord of Gods is capable of this feat.”

“Should we inform Qian Ye of this matter?”

“No, we shouldn’t! The Seven Mansions Feasts is coming up, and he’ll be representing the Pure Yang Sect. We can’t affect his cultivation. Apart from that, he’s likely in closed-door cultivation so he won’t be able to receive our message as well. In any case, he has the sect leader’s Soul Pearl. Once he discovers it has shattered, he’ll definitely return.”

…

Although the 10,000 Devils Sect’s high-ranking officials tried to keep the news of Lan Qing’s death from spreading, it did not take long for the news to spread through the entire sect, causing widespread panic.

In the past, when the Flying Dragon Sect executed a group of high-ranking officials, the members had been shaken and no longer felt safe. Now that their sect leader died, many of them deserted the sect, fearing for their safety.

…

While chaos descended in the 10,000 Devils Sect, a flying ship flew back to the Pure Yang Sect with the speed of an advanced Lord of Gods.

…

Half a month later.

On Ping Sheng Island.

Yang Qian Ye, who had just woken up from his cultivation, was taking a divine pill out of his spatial ring when he caught a glimpse of a shattered Soul Pearl. When he regained his senses, his face paled, and his eyes widened in horror as he let out a sorrowful cry, “Father!”
