Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Tm going to see that kid, Du Zhan.”
Everyone watched as Kuang Tian Zheng nodded at Lan Qing, the Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect before leaving like a gust of wind, vanis.h.i.+ng before everyone’s eyes.
No one was surprised that Kuang Tian Zheng referred to Du Zhan, the respected Supreme Elder of the 10,000 Devils Sect, as ‘that kid’. Everyone knew Du Zhan was Kuang Tian Zheng’s junior brother, after all. Kuang Tian Zheng could be considered to have raised Du Zhan, and they were as close as.
biological brothers.
‘When Kuang Tian Zheng was still in the 10,000 Devils Sect, everyone had combined Kuang Tian Zheng and Du Zhan’s names and referred to them as the ‘Zheng-Zhan duo’. To this day, stories about the Zheng-Zhan duo were still circulating in the sect.
After Kuang Tian Zheng left, the high-ranking officials of the 10,000 Devils Sect looked at Lan Qing curiously one after another.
“Sect Leader, what’s going on?”
“Sect Leader, did something happen? Why did Elder Kuang suddenly return to the sect?”
“Why did you give him your condolences earlier, Sect Leader?”
“Chu Han, a disciple of Uncle Tian Zheng, had died. It’s suspected that he was killed by a disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect. Uncle Tian Zheng returned to the sect for this very reason,” Lan Qing said as he shook his head before he left.
The high-ranking officials of the 10,000 Devils Sect only regained their senses after Lan Qing had left.
“Chu Han? He was Elder Tian Zheng’s last disciple, right?”
“I’s said that Elder Tian Zheng doted on his last disciple a lot. I didn’t expect Chu Han to die. Moreover, he was killed by a disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect.”
“Doesn’t this mean Elder Tian Zheng will help us to deal with the Hidden Fog Sect?”
“You’re overthinking things. Although Elder Tian Zheng is an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, there are also many inner elders of the Flying Dragon Sect from the Hidden Fog Sect. Most importantly, the Hidden Fog Sect has Xue Hai Chuan in the Flying Dragon Sect. Although Xue Hai Chuan isn’t as
strong as Elder Tian Zheng yet, his status isn’t any lower than Elder Tian Zheng’s in the Flying Dragon Sect.”
“That’s right! I heard that the Hidden Fog Sect’s Xue Hai Chuan is an important figure in the Flying Dragon Sect.”
At this time, Kuang Tian Zheng had already met up with Du Zhan.
“Senior brother!”
Although the duo had kept in touch through messages, they had not seen each other for many years. As such, Du Zhan could not help but feel excited when he saw Kuang Tian Zheng.
“Junior brother.”
A hint of joy could be seen in Kuang Tian Zheng’s eyes as well when he saw Du Zhan.
The two men exchanged a hug before Kuang Tian Zheng patted Du Zhan’s shoulder.
Meanwhile, Du Qian Jun stood at the side as he studied Kuang Tian Zheng, He had heard about Kuang Tian Zheng and seen Kuang Tian Zheng’s portrait in his grandfather’s room, but he had never met Kuang Tian Zheng prior to this.
“Qian Jun, come over and greet your senior granduncle. Make sure you apologize as well.”
After being reprimanded by Du Zhan, Du Qian Jun hurriedly stepped forward and kneeled in front of Kuang Tian Zheng. “Greetings, Senior Granduncle Tian Zheng. Senior granduncle, I apologize for not doing a good job looking after Junior Uncle Chu Han, resulting in his death. I’m willing to accept any
punishment you deem suitable.”
Kuang Tian Zheng’s eyes softened when he looked at Du Qian Jun. After all, Du Qian Jun was the grandson of his junior brother whom he regarded as his younger brother. In his eyes, Du Qian Jun was also like a grandson. With a wave of his hand, energy surged out and pulled Du Qian Jun to his feet. Then,
he looked at Du Qian Jun kindly and said, “This is our first meeting, Qian Jun, but I didn’t bring you a gift. I have a primitive divine artifact that has already formed half a soul. I’l give it to you…”
As Kuang Tian Zheng spoke, he brought out a sword from his Spatial Ring and handed it over to Du Qian Jun.
There were two distinct auras in the primitive divine artifact; one belonged to the sword, and one belonged to the half-formed soul.
“A primitive divine artifact with half a soul?” Du Qian Jun’s eyes lit up.
Although it was just a primitive divine artifact, its value was high due to the fact that it had already formed half a soul. Not only was it the best among the primitive divine artifacts, but it was even better than mediocre divine artifacts without artifact souls. Apart from that, after forming a soul, there was
a possibility that the primitive divine artifact would be able to evolve into a higher-grade divine artifact.
A primitive divine artifact with half a soul was equivalent to five mediocre divine artifacts without a soul. A primitive divine artifact with a complete soul was equivalent to ten mediocre divine artifacts without souls.
Nonetheless, Du Qian Jun did not immediately reach out for the primitive divine artifact. Instead, he looked at his grandfather.
Du Zhan smiled and said, “Aren’t you going to thank your senior granduncle for the gift?”
Du Zhan knew his senior brother’s gift was sincere. Moreover, due to their close relations.h.i.+p, there was no need for courtesy.
“Thank you, senior granduncle,” Du Qian Jun said respectfully as he took the primitive divine sword from Kuang Tian Zheng.
After Du Qian Jun accepted the primitive divine artifact, Du Zhan dismissed Du Qian Jun, leaving only him and Kuang Tian Zheng in the room. Then, he said with a sigh, “My condolences, senior brother.”
“Do you have any news? Have Wu Feng and Duan Ling Tian returned to the Hidden Fog Sect?” Kuang Tian Zheng asked.
“No.” Du Zhan shook his head.
“Then, are they dead? We should have people in the Hidden Fog Sect who can check their Soul Pearls, right?” Kuang Tian Zheng asked.
“Some of the disciples of the Hidden Fog Sect have Wu Feng’s Soul Pearls so I’ve determined that Wu Feng is still alive,” Du Zhan said, “However, not many people possess Duan Ling Tian’s Soul Pearls. Our people are still working on finding out if Duan Ling Tian is still alive.”
“see.” Kuang Tian Zheng nodded. “I’l stay here for now. Meanwhile, we can catch up as well. When Duan Ling Tian and Wu Feng return to the Hidden Fog Sect, I’ll pay them a visit!”
Kuang Tian Zheng’s eyes flashed coldly when he mentioned Duan Ling Tian and Wu Feng.
“Senior brother, I’ve spoken to you about Duan Ling Tian and Wu Feng’s strengths before. No matter how strong they are, at most, they would’ve fought to a draw with Chu Han and his companion. It’d be difficult for them to kill Chu Han. Of course, there’s the possibility that Chu Han and his companion
had gotten careless. What I mean to say is that there’s a chance those two aren’t responsible for Chu Han’s death.”
Upon hearing Du Zhan’s words, Kuang Tian Zheng smiled icily as he said, “Unless they can prove without a doubt that they didn’t kill Chu Han, they must die! No one from the Hidden Fog Sect can protect them! They were with Chu Han, but they managed to survive while Chu Han died. They can only
blame themselves for not dying with Chu Han!”
Kuang Tian Zheng was clearly determined to kill Duan Ling Tian and Wu Feng.
Du Zhang inhaled sharply when he heard Kuang Tian Zheng’s words. He said with a hint of fear, “Senior brother, I know you’re furious and saddened by Chu Han’s death, However, if you kill the two disciples from the Hidden Fog Sect indiscriminately, aren’t you afraid that the Hidden Fog Sect and the
Flying Dragon Sect will hold you accountable for your actions?”
Kuang Tian Zheng said indifferently, “Perhaps, if the Flying Dragon Sect stops me beforehand, I might have to give up on killing those two. However, as long as I kill them before anyone from the Flying Dragon Sect stops me, they won’t hold me accountable for my actions. At most, I’d have to apologize.
They won’t do anything to me because of two unknown disciples. Moreover, my second disciple is now a couple with the daughter of Vice Sect Leader Xue of the Flying Dragon Sect, and they’re already discussing marriage. With Vice Sect Leader Xue on my side, I’m not afraid.”
Du Zhan’s eyes brightened upon hearing Kuang Tian Zheng’s words. He finally realized why Kuang Tian Zheng was so confident.
“Congratulations, senior brother!” Du Zhan said happily. Then, he said, “Senior brother, how can you not inform me of such big news? This matter isn’t just good news for you, but for the 10,000 Devils Sect as well!”
The Vice Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect was a core figure in the Flying Dragon Sect, after all. With someone like that on Kuang Tian Zheng’s side, the 10,000 Devils Sect would naturally benefit from it as well.
Kuang Tian Zheng smiled faintly. “I didn’t say anything since I wasn’t sure if their relations.h.i.+p would last. You know how the younger generation is like. I wasn’t worried about my second disciple, but I was worried that the daughter of the Vice Sect Leader would change her mind. They only confirmed
their relations.h.i.+p not too long ago and began to discuss marriage. I’ll let you know once we have a date. You should attend his wedding as well. This was also the reason I didn’t come to the 10,000 Devils Sect immediately. Since my disciple is about to get married, as his master, I had to help him deal with
some trivial matters.”
The smile on Kuang Tian Zheng’s face faded as he said frostily, “Chu Han had a very good relations.h.i.+p with his Second Senior Brother. Now that his Second Senior Brother learned about his death, I’m sure Vice Sect Leader Xue will help us to deal with this matter..”
