Chapter 3377: Ready To Find His Family
The grades of forces in Devata Realms were determined by the number of powerhouses in the respective forces. For instance, fourth-grade sects and clans had to have at least one t.i.tled Celestial Lord be qualified as a fourth-grade force. In the Spirit Overarching Heaven’s Southern Territory where Duan Ling Tian ascended to in the past, the most powerful forces there were only fifth-grade forces even if they had many Celestial Lords because the forces there lacked t.i.tled Celestial Lords. In fact, there was only one t.i.tled Celestial Lord in the Southern Territory who governed the territory.
“Sect Leader!”
“Grand Elder!”
Several Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect elders who managed to catch up with Yu Wen Qing and You Bai Feng cried out to stop them from leaving.
Soon enough, the other elders and disciples from the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect caught up to the duo as well and instantly fell to their knees.
“Sect Leader, I know you’re angry, but we don’t have a choice. It was the life of one girl against the lives of everyone in the sect!”
“Grand Elder, the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect needs you!”
…
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian and the others were unaware of the situation Yu Wen Qing and You Bai Feng were facing.
At this moment, Duan Si Ling said with a sigh, “Earlier my master declared she would leave the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect. Knowing her, she won’t go back on her words.”
“Don’t worry, Si Ling,” Feng Tian Wu, who was standing next to Duan Si Ling, said as she shook her head, “No matter how stubborn senior sister is, the elders and disciples from the sect won’t let her go so easily. If everyone pleaded with her to stay, she won’t be able to remain hard-hearted. It’s the same for my master…”
Compared to Duan Si Ling, Feng Tian Wu’s judgment was naturally better. She continued to say with a smile, “You must know that the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect is only a fourth-grade sect due to my master’s presence since she’s a t.i.tled Celestial Lord. A Duke Grade Celestial Crystal Vein is the best a fourth-grade force would have. Only some Celestial Lords would covet it; t.i.tled Celestial aren’t interested in it at all. If senior sister leaves, master will definitely leave as well. Without them, the sect is sure to decline and become a fifth-grade sect. The elders and disciples will do their best to dissuade them from leaving…”
Before Duan Si Ling responded, Little Gold interjected with a frown on her face, “How can they be so shameless. They were the ones who forced Si Ling’s master and your master to leave the sect in the first place… At that time, I don’t see them pleading with both your masters to stay. Now that the crisis has pa.s.sed, they change their stance so quickly. They’re too shameless!”
In Little Gold’s eyes, things were simple; they were either black or white, and there were no grey areas. Needless to say, if Duan Ling Tian chose to turn black, she would obediently follow him as well.
“That’s how things are,” Feng Tian Wu said with a sigh, “Moreover, they’re blameless. How could anyone be willing to sacrifice so many lives for the life of one person? I can understand them…”
Duan Si Ling nodded in agreement.
Soon after, under Lei Zhen Shan’s lead, Duan Ling Tian and the others arrived at the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect’s estate under Lei Zhen Shan’s guidance.
As they flew into the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect’s estate, numerous saber rays appeared around Lei Zhen Shan. As he flew forward, he killed the patrolling disciples in the estate.
Alas, even until their deaths, the patrolling disciples did not understand why their elder killed them.
Lei Zhen Shan wore a bitter smile on his face as he killed everyone standing in their way. Although he hated Lan Heng, it did not mean he hated the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect as well. He was not trying to seek revenge by killing the members of the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect; he had only done it to save his life. After all, he was still unsure if Duan Ling Tian would let him go. Therefore, he was on his best behavior, hoping Duan Ling Tian would spare him.
It did not take long before news of Lei Zhen Shan’s killing spree reached the ears of the high-ranking members of the Cloud Drizzle Celestial Sect.
Lang Kong Xuan, the Sect Leader of the Cold Drizzle Sect, led a group of people to stop Lei Zhen Shan.
Lan Kong Xuan was a middle-aged man who bore resemblances to Lan Heng and Lan Ji Nian. He was dressed in a long green robe and had a dignified air about him. At this moment, he looked at Lei Zhen Shan with a dark expression on his face as he asked, “Lei Zhen Shan, what are you doing?”
“Lan Kong Xuan, your son, Lan Ji Nian, and your father, Lan Heng, are dead… It’s best if you don’t put up a fight,” Lei Zhen Shan said with a sigh.
As soon as his voice fell, the expressions of the members of the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect who were present on the scene changed drastically. Initially, they were skeptical. However, when they saw the strangers standing behind Lei Zhen Shan, an ominous feeling rose in their hearts.
“You… Are you Feng Tian Wu from the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect? Grand Elder You Bai Feng’s disciple?” One of the high-ranking officials from the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect recognized Feng Tian Wu.
With that, another person recognized Duan Si Ling as well. “That seems to be Sect Leader Yu Wen Qing’s disciple, Duan Si Ling. Lei Zhen Shan followed the former Sect Leader and the Young Master to the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect to bring the Young Master’s bride back, right? What happened?”
“You talk too much.” At the time when Lan Kong Xuan’s expression further darkened, Little Gold stepped forward. In just a blink of an eye, she seemed to have vanished into thin air.
When she disappeared, a loud roar rang in the air. Following that, a figure the size of a hill appeared before everyone’s eyes. It was a huge golden mouse with red eyes.
Despite its size, the mouse’s speed was as swift as lightning. In just a blink of an eye, she had already appeared in front of Lan Kong Xuan and the others.
Swoos.h.!.+
The mouse swiped its paw across the group of high-ranking members of the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect. Apart from Lan Kong Xuan and two other Celestial Emperors who narrowly avoided the attack, the others were torn apart.
Little Gold grinned. “I haven’t got a chance to fight to my heart’s content since I became a Celestial Emperor. Let me fight three of you today!”
It was an incredibly strange sight; the mouse was absurdly huge, but its voice was that of a young woman.
“Little Gold…” Feng Tian Wu was stunned. Since their reunion, this was the first time she had seen Little Gold in a fight.
Meanwhile, Lan Kong Xuan and the two Celestial Emperors were easily sent flying by Little Gold. All of them spat out mouthfuls of blood.
The other members of the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect watched this with horrified expressions on their faces.
“This isn’t fun at all; you’re all too weak!” With just three swipes of her paw, Lan Kong Xuan and the two Celestial Emperors died.
Just like that, all the high-ranking members of the Cloud Drizzle Sect were dead.
Lei Zhen Shan who was standing at the side trembled in fear. Even the young woman was much stronger than him.
After reverting to her human form of a beautiful woman with a curvaceous body, Little Gold said in a voice that resounded through the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect’s estate, “From now on, the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect no longer exists… Leave now if you don’t want to die!”
Initially, there were a few disciples from the Cloudy Drizzle Sect who were confused. It did not take long before they heeded Little Gold’s words and fled.
In less than an hour, the entire Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect’s estate was empty.
At the same time, those from the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect finally arrived with Yu Wen Qing and You Bai Feng in the lead.
“Sect Leader Yu, the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect’s estate is now empty… This is my gift to you,” Duan Ling Tian said to Yu Wen Qing with a smile. Then, he glanced at You Bai Feng who was next to Yu Wen Qing and said, “In the future, if there’s anything you need help with, you can speak to Si Ling or Tian Wu. I’ll help you if it’s within my power to do so. When you have the time, you can come to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven to visit Si Ling and Tian Wu.”
Although the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect elders and disciples had witnessed Duan Ling Tian’s strength and guessed he must have an extraordinary background, they were still dumbfounded upon hearing his words. The Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven? Duan Si Ling’s father was from the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven?
“Alright.”
Yu Wen Qing and You Bai Feng nodded with a smile. They felt slightly excited as well. After all, they had learned from Feng Tian Wu and Duan Si Ling that Feng Qing Yang, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, would be accepting Duan Ling Tian as his disciple. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they could only look up at someone like him. Due to their disciples, they were now related to someone like him.
Duan Ling Tian said, “Si Ling, Tian Wu, you can speak to your masters a bit more if you want. Once you’re done, we’ll return to the Heavenly Palace to discuss my plan to look for Little Fei’er and Nian Tian…”
At this point, Duan Ling Tian had already learned that Feng Tian Wu and Duan Si Ling were not the only ones who escaped from the Divine Offering Land. His wife, Li Fei; his son, Duan Nian Tian; his parents, Duan Ru Feng and Li Rou, had also escaped from the Divine Offering Land with the help of Xia Jie, Ke’er’s Third Uncle. Nevertheless, he still did not have an idea of where to start finding them.
Duan Si Ling and Feng Tian Wu possessed the Soul pearls of Li Fei, Duan Nian Tian, Feng Wu Dao, and Duan Ru Feng. Although they tried to contact them through the Soul Pearls, there were no replies. It was likely that they were not in the Solitary Destructive Heaven or that they did not have Communication Celestial Talismans.
