Chapter 3216: Huang’er’s Transformation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er had spent half a day in Glacier Valley when they were awakened by Chai Xiong Yi, the Sect Leader of the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect. “Revered Elders, the people from the Tong Clan are here! They’re accompanied by the members of the Situ Clan and the Thousand Search Celestial Sect as well.”
When Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes, he saw the four men from the Tong Clan and five other people flying toward them. The five new faces were separated into groups of twos and threes.
“The two old men are from the Situ Clan. The trio is the Guardians of the Thousand Search Celestial Sect, and they’re One Basic Celestial Kings. The clan leader and the sect leader who are Celestial Lords aren’t here,” Chai Xiong Yi explained to Duan Ling Tian as the newcomers entered Glacier Valley.
After the nine men entered the valley, Tong Jing, the Clan Leader of the Tong Clan, glanced at Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er before he said to the members of the Situ Clan and the Thousand Search Celestial Sect, “That’s them! Chai Xiong Yi said they’re the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect’s Revered Elders… In my opinion, the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect must have hired outside help. Otherwise, how could they be willing to join the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect?”
Before anyone could respond, Huan’er stepped forward and confronted the nine men. She said icily, “How dare you take Brother Ling Tian’s warning lightly!”
As soon as Huan’er finished speaking, a powerful energy rippled out toward the nine men. Then, she teleported and appeared in front of the Tong clansmen. Without saying anything, she threw the Yin Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring toward them, killing the four of them immediately.
The members from the Situ Clan and the Thousand Search Celestial Sect finally regained their senses when the last member of the Tong Clan died. Their expressions changed drastically as they hurriedly retreated. They looked at Huan’er fearfully as though she was a fearsome beast. They knew that even if they joined forces, it would take them 15 minutes at least to kill the four Celestial Lords from the Tong Clan. However, the peerless beauty in front of them had killed those four men in just a blink of an eye.
The five men from the Situ Clan and the Thousand Search Celestial Sect exchanged a look and saw the fear in each other’s eyes.
“We would’ve died if she had targeted us earlier…”
Meanwhile, Chai Xiong Yi, Lian Qing He, and Hao w.a.n.g looked at Huan’er in shock. Although they knew she was powerful, they did not expect her to be able to kill the men from the Tong Clan in just a blink of an eye. For a moment, they were unable to react at all.
Huan’er did not bother with others. After she collected the four Tong clansmen’s Spatial Rings, she presented them to Duan Ling Tian after she returned to his side. “Brother Ling Tian.”
Duan Ling Tian looked at the men from the Situ Clan and the Thousand Search Celestial Sect indifferently as he asked, “Seniors, did you come with the Tong clansmen to test our strength?”
The five men’s mouths twitched upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. The Tong clansmen’s strength was on par with theirs, and yet, they were easily killed by Huan’er in a matter of seconds. Would it make a difference even if they joined forces to deal with Huan’er?
Finally, one of the men said, “My name’s Situ Yun. This is my second younger brother, Situ Feng. We have no objections to your decision. Since the four Celestial Lords from the Tong Clan have died, the Tong clansmen won’t be able to enter this valley in the future. The Snow Horizon Celestial Sect can stay here for half a year while our Situ Clan and the Thousand Search Celestial Sect will get to spend three months each in this valley. I wonder if that’s okay with you?” After he finished speaking, he looked at Huan’er fearfully.
Another man hastily chimed in, “The Thousand Search Celestial Sect agrees with the Situ Clan.”
All of them hastily expressed their thoughts, afraid they would end up like the four men from the Tong Clan.
“All of you are rather smart.” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly. “For this reason, I won’t make things difficult for you. However, we’ll only implement what you said after 60 years have pa.s.sed. During the next 60 years, Glacier Valley belongs to the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect alone, and the Situ Clan and the Thousand Search Celestial Sect aren’t allowed to step foot in here during that time. Do you have any opinion about this?”
The expressions of the men from the Situ Clan and the Thousand Search Celestial Sect changed drastically when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. They did not expect him to be so domineering and suggested that they allow the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect to occupy Glacier Valley for 60 years. Nevertheless, they could only agree with Duan Ling Tian. After all, in the past, they had taken greater advantage of the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect. Letting the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect have full the monopoly of the valley for 60 years was not a big deal.
Meanwhile, the members of the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect could hardly believe this. They felt as though they were dreaming even after they watched the members from the Situ Clan and the Thousand Search Celestial Sect leave with their tails tucked between their legs. When they finally recovered from their shock, they bowed and expressed their grat.i.tude in unison. “Thank you, Revered Elders.”
Duan Ling Tian said, “We’ll cultivate here during this time. You don’t have to worry about us, and you’re free to come here to cultivate as you wish. We don’t care about the law of ice or having to share the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy…” Duan Ling Tian said magnanimously. He decided to stay here to monitor Huang’er’s progress in case something untoward happened to her.
“Thank you, Revered Elder.” The eyes of the men from the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect lit up when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. The expressions on their faces were one of grat.i.tude when they looked at Duan Ling Tian.
‘If you want to thank me, inform me immediately when you receive news about Celestial Pills and Celestial Fruits that are able to boost the cultivation bases of Celestial Kings,” Duan Ling Tian said.
“Rest a.s.sured, Revered Elder. I’ll send a message to Elder Qiu who’s in charge of our sect’s intelligence network and ask him to pay attention to this matter. I’ll inform you as soon as I receive news,” Chai Xiong Yi said confidently.
“Revered Elder, I have two Celestial Fruits that are beneficial to Celestial Kings… You can have it…”
“I have one as well… You can have it…”
Lian Qing He and Hao w.a.n.g willingly took out the Celestial Fruits they had treasured all these years from their Spatial Rings and handed them to Duan Ling Tian. Although the fruits were not extraordinary or rare, they were still beneficial to Duan Ling Tian and would boost his cultivation base that was at the level of a Celestial King.
“Thank you.”
…
Since Duan Ling Tian decided to settle down in Glacier Valley, he built a small but exquisite wooden hut with a courtyard for him and Huan’er to dwell in. Both of them planted flowers and trees similar to those found in the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect that thrived in the cold as well.
During this time, the three Celestial Lords from the Snow Horizon Celestial Sect enthusiastically helped Duan Ling Tian as though they were his juniors. After they witnessed Huan’er killing the Tong clansmen in just a blink of an eye, they revered the duo like one would revere the G.o.ds. They did not dare to be careless with the tasks Duan Ling Tian a.s.signed them at all. They tried their best to please the duo, afraid the duo would leave their sect. If possible, they really wished the duo would stay in the sect forever even if they knew this was just wishful thinking.
Lian Qing He lamented to Hao w.a.n.g, “What a pity! I feel there’s a reason Revered Elder Ling Tian decided on 60 years. I have a feeling they’re going to leave after 60 years…”
“Nevertheless, the Situ Clan and the Thousand Search Celestial Sect won’t dare to break their promises unless they’re 100% certain Revered Elder Ling Tian and Revered Elder Huan’er won’t return. It’s likely they won’t dare to act boldly in front of our Snow Horizon Celestial Sect again,” Hao w.a.n.g said.
…
In just a blink of an eye, 10 years had pa.s.sed. During this time, Northern Iceland remained unaffected by the seasonal change.
“Huang’er?”
At this moment, a figure appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian and Huang’er.
The figure took the form of a beautiful and curvaceous woman wearing a seven-color dress. The figure was none other than Huang’er, the soul of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
As soon as Huang’er appeared, she fell to her knees and said sincerely, “Thank you, my lord, for giving me this opportunity.”
Duan Ling Tian could sense something was different about Huang’er. When she had first become the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword’s soul, she always remained indifferent to him due to her memories of the past. However, after completing the transformation and fully becoming the sword soul, she seemed to have let go of the past and was completely obedient to him. With this discovery, he could not help but curiously ask the Chaos Divine Flame, “Senior Chaos Divine Flame, what happened to her?”
“It’s simple,” the Chaos Divine Flame replied, “The Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword had previously acknowledged you as its master… After the girl merged with the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, her thoughts are greatly influenced by the sword’s loyalty. Even if you ask her to kill Ling Jue Yun now, she won’t hesitate at all.”
“Did she lose her memories?” Duan Ling Tian was shocked by the Chaos Divine Flame’s words.
“No. It’s just that they’ve slightly faded away and became less of a concern to her. Currently, it’s more important to her that she obeys your order and serves you faithfully. Your will is her motivation to live now…” the Chaos Divine Flame explained.
