Chapter 4289 - 4289 A Crazy Coincidence

4289 A Crazy Coincidence

Duan Ling Tian was familiar with the situation because he had already experienced it before. Previously, he and a few people from the Divine Offering Land were transported into a secret realm to become gatekeepers for a level. At that time, the challengers from the Sanction Land were very confident, and they even bragged about killing Duan Ling Tian and the others. In the end, he single-handedly killed the challengers from the Sanction Land and helped the people from the Divine Offering Land escape death.

Now, Duan Ling Tian had no idea who he was going to face in the secret realm. The only thing he was certain of was that the other gatekeepers had to be from the Divine Offering Land as well. After all, he had entered the Divine Sanction Battlefield from the Divine Offering Land and was considered to be from the Divine Offering Land. As for the challengers, they had to be from one of the five Realms of Gods, which created the chaotic region.

Swoosh!

After the darkness lifted, Duan Ling Tian discovered he was hovering above a glacier. His Divine Energy that lingered on the surface of his skin easily blocked the bone-chilling cold in the surroundings. Soon enough, he saw six people appearing one after another, and all of them wore dark expressions on their faces.

A middle-aged man said indignantly, “Damn it! I’ve been selected as a gatekeeper again!”

An old man shook his head and said, “There’s no point in complaining. We should join forces and defeat the challengers. We’ll be able to leave the secret realm safely once we defeat them.”

“He’s right! We need to join forces to survive!” another middle-aged man said.

The remaining nodded solemnly in agreement.

Duan Ling Tian remained silent as he looked up ahead.

A group of seven people stared at Duan Ling Tian and the others. Six of them wore a faint smile on their faces while one of them, a middle-aged man, wore an unsightly expression on his face.

“Young Master Hong…”

At this time, one of the people from the opposing group noticed something was amiss. Earlier, the arrogant grandson of a supreme powerhouse had been very calm, but his expression was very dark now.

The other five people from the opposing group turned to look at the grandson of a supreme powerhouse in unison.

“Young Master Hong, could it be that you know one of them?”

“Young Master Hong, is he an enemy of yours? If so, let’s join forces and kill him.”

“Young Master Hong…”

The middle-aged man was not the strongest in the group from the Scaling River Land, but everyone was courteous to him because he was the grandson of a supreme powerhouse and politely addressed him as ‘Young Master Hong’.

‘What a coincidence!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a smile. He did not expect to meet Hong Zhang Yi in this secret realm. Hong Zhang Yi was the person who brought more than a dozen intermediate Supreme Gods to kill him previously. He would have died if it were not for Ning Yi Xuan’s timely appearance.

The people from the Divine Offering Land also noticed that something was amiss, and they turned to look at Duan Ling Tian.

“He’s Duan Ling Tian from the Profound Energy Land’s Myriad Laws Academy,” Hong Zhang Yi said at this time, revealing the identity of the purple-clad young man, whom all direct descendants of supreme powerhouses wanted to kill.

Duan Ling Tian’s presence naturally affected the personal interest of the descendants of supreme powerhouses. They were also jealous of his high innate talent and comprehension skills. After all, they could not even compare to a lowlife from the lower realm.

Meanwhile, the people from the Scaling River Land were shocked by Hong Zhang Yi’s words.

“Duan Ling Tian?!”

“That monster from the Profound Energy Land’s Myriad Laws Academy?!”

“He’s that new rudimentary Supreme God who’s capable of killing most intermediate Supreme Gods, right?”

“That’s him?!”

The expressions of the six men from the Scaling River Land turned unsightly at the same time.

“Let’s go!”

In the next moment, the six men from the Scaling River Land saw a portal appearing above Hong Zhang Yi. Clearly, Hong Zhang Yi intended to leave without a fight. None of them objected to this, and in just a moment, a portal appeared above each of them before all seven of them vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, the people from Duan Ling Tian’s group were baffled by this sudden development. They were standing quite a distance away so they did not hear the opposing group’s conversation. They only knew that the opposing group left because of the purple-clad young man in their group.

After a moment, the old man’s eyes widened before he exclaimed, “Wait! Is he that monster, Duan Ling Tian, from the Profound Energy Land?!”

“I heard that Duan Ling Tian entered the Divine Sanction Battlefield as a member of the Divine Offering Land…”

“I heard that Duan Ling Tian is always dressed in purple robes, and he possessed a pair of eyebrows that make him look valiant… This young man fits the description…”

A hint of nervousness could be seen in the old man’s eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. “He can’t be Duan Ling Tian, right?”

“Ask him, and we’ll know…”

The six of them really wanted to ask Duan Ling Tian but were hesitant.

Finally, Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly and said, “That’s right. I’m Duan Ling Tian.”

Duan Ling Tian had already anticipated that Hong Zhang Yi and the others would surrender and leave. He could have killed Hong Zhang Yi earlier and prevented him from leaving with his Teleportation Profundity. However, if he killed Hong Zhang Yi, he would have to kill not only everyone from the Scaling River Land but everyone from the Divine Offering Land as well. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if news about him killing Hong Zhang Yi spread to Hong Zhang Yi’s grandfather, who was a supreme powerhouse.

Duan Ling Tian did not think that Hong Zhang Yi possessed a life-saving jade token as well so there was no need to worry about a supreme powerhouse appearing to intervene in the fight. Life-saving jade tokens were very difficult to refine, and although Hong Zhang Yi was doted upon by his grandfather, Hong Zhang Yi was not the only grandson. Life-saving jade tokens were usually given to direct descendants or people who were extraordinary and outstanding like Ning Yi Xuan.

Previously, Duan Ling Tian learned that Ning Yi Xuan in fact had no blood relations to the Ning clan’s supreme powerhouse. However, due to Ning Yi Xuan’s extraordinary innate talent, the supreme powerhouse of the Ning clan cherished Ning Yi Xuan more than he cherished his direct descendants. Generally, supreme powerhouses had many descendants. Just the supreme powerhouse from the Ning clan alone had more than one hundred children. One could only imagine how many descendants he had. However, Ning Yi Xuan, who was not a blood relative, was still so highly favored. This was a testament to Ning Yi Xuan’s strength.

‘What a pity that I met him in this secret realm,’ Duan Ling Tian lamented inwardly. If he had met Hong Zhang Yi on the Realm Battlefield, it would have been much easier for him to hide the fact that he killed Hong Zhang Yi. Not only was communication prohibited on the Realm Battlefield, but he was sure that it was impossible for the supreme powerhouses overseeing the Realm Battlefield to keep an eye on everything. The supreme powerhouses would hardly notice the death of a rudimentary Supreme God.

Conversely, if Duan Ling Tian killed Hong Zhang Yi in this secret realm, he would leave behind a group of witnesses. Even if Hong Zhang Yi’s grandfather did not personally make a move, it was likely that his men would act on his behalf. As such, he decided not to kill Hong Zhang Yi to avoid unnecessary trouble. Let alone supreme powerhouses, it would be impossible for him to escape two advanced Supreme Gods. Although he hated Hong Zhang Yi to the bones, he knew he had to be patient to survive.

Meanwhile, the six people from the Divine Offering Land were shocked after Duan Ling Tian confirmed his identity.

“It’s really you!”

“You’re Duan Ling Tian!”

“Duan Ling Tian, you’re really amazing! All of them left as soon as they recognized you!”

“Duan Ling Tian, we’re able to leave this secret realm safely because of you. Thank you!”

After the people from the Divine Offering Land expressed their gratitude to Duan Ling Tian, all of them were transported out of the secret realm.

When the darkness lifted again, Duan Ling Tian found himself in a valley. When he looked up, he saw a man punching the wall of a cliff. It was as though the man was trying to make a cave for shelter.

Not long after Duan Ling Tian appeared, the man discovered Duan Ling Tian’s presence, and he was shocked. His face turned pale as he stammered, “I-impossible! H-how’s this possible?!”

Duan Ling Tian was surprised as well. ‘What a crazy coincidence!’

Duan Ling Tian was miraculously transported to the same place as Hong Zhang Yi after leaving the secret realm!
