4358 The Best Actor

The purple-clad young man was not Duan Ling Tian. Needless to say, it was not a coincidence that he showed up here at this time. In fact, he had hired the three intermediate Supreme Gods to act out a show with him. The trio was impressed by Duan Ling Tian’s audacity to scheme against the Sun clan. This was naturally not something they dared to do, and as such, they wore masks to hide their identities. The masks looked ordinary, but there were various Formations cast on the masks that were capable of stopping even advanced Supreme Gods from seeing them with their Divine Consciousness. It would be nearly impossible for those below the realm of an advanced Supreme God to see them.

After Sun Long pleaded for help and Duan Ling Tian stopped in his tracks, one of the three men Duan Ling Tian hired said fiercely, “Mind your own business, young man!”

Duan Ling Tian glanced at the man and said nonchalantly, “I didn’t intend to interfere, but the tone of your voice irritates me…”

Duan Ling Tian did not waste time and made his move immediately. The void froze immediately, and his movements were lightning-quick.

!!

When the three men recovered their senses, Duan Ling Tian was already in front of them.

‘He’s fast!’ Sun Long’s eyes widened in surprise. He shook his head as he thought to himself, ‘Something is amiss… I think I was affected by his power. Did he… Did he use the law of time?! Is he an expert in the law of time?’

The law of time was one of the Four Supreme Laws, and it was also the most mysterious and powerful law among the Four Supreme Laws.

Based on how Duan Ling Tian had arrived in front of the trio in just a blink of an eye, Sun Long could tell that Duan Ling Tian’s comprehension of the law of time was comparable to his comprehension of his strongest law.

‘We’re saved!’ Sun Long rejoiced inwardly. At the same time, he sent a message to his nephew who was standing next to him.

Sun Yu Qian’s eyes lit up with hope immediately. However, a hint of iciness could be seen in the depths of his eyes. He swore that he would not let this matter slide if he survived.

‘It doesn’t matter who’s behind this matter, I won’t let him or her get away with it!’ Sun Yu Qian vowed inwardly. At the same time, the figures of the other two direct descendants in the Sun clan appeared in his mind. Although they were inferior to him in various aspects, they were his competitors in becoming the next Clan Leader of the Sun clan. If they had beaten him in a fair fight, he would have accepted his fate. However, he thought they were truly insidious for using such an underhanded manner to deal with him.

“Ignore the brat and kill those two!”

The three men hiding behind masks ignored Duan Ling Tian and charged toward Sun Long and Sun Yu Qian. At the same time, they also kept their guards up against Duan Ling Tian.

“There must be deep enmity between you for you to be so adamant about killing an advanced Emperor of Gods,” Duan Ling Tian said with a heavy sigh.

Duan Ling Tian’s voice was not loud, but Sun Long and Sun Yu Qian heard him clearly. The duo’s expressions darkened when they were reminded that the trio had come for Sun Yu Qian.

‘I won’t let the mastermind behind this matter get away with this if I survive!’ Sun Long thought to himself resolutely.

When the trio drew close, Sun Ling mobilized his Divine Energy and protected Sun Yu Qian with all his might. As an advanced Emperor of Gods, it was only natural that Sun Yu Qian was helpless at this moment.

Sun Yu Qian looked at Duan Ling Tian, who was standing in the distance, and pleaded earnestly through Voice Transmission, “Senior, please help us! If I, Sun Yu Qian, survive with your help, as long as it’s within my capabilities, I’ll definitely return the favor!”

Duan Ling Tian was just about to make a move when he heard Sun Yu Qian’s Voice Transmission. He grinned inwardly and made his move. He held back his strength and only used strength comparable to that of Sun Long. Even then, it was more than enough for him and Sun Long to stall for time until reinforcement arrived.

The trio had the upper hand, but they were growing impatient and worried that the Sun clan’s advanced Supreme God would show up soon.

After both parties exchanged blows for about thirty breaths, the trio exchanged a look before they decided to retreat. Before leaving, one of them said threateningly to Duan Ling Tian, “Brat! You better pray you don’t run into us in the future. Otherwise, I’ll rip you into pieces.”

Seeing that Sun Long did not give chase, Duan Ling Tian also did not make a move.

Sun Long did not think there was a point for him to chase after the trio. After all, even if he and Duan Ling Tian joined forces, the trio still had the advantage. When the trio finally vanished out of sight, he looked at Duan Ling Tian with gratitude and cupped his fists together before he said, “My friend, thank you for helping us. Without your help, we would’ve died here.”

Following that, Sun Yu Qian kneeled in the air and kowtowed at Duan Ling Tian before he said, “Thank you for saving our lives, senior!”

Duan Ling Tian quickly helped Sun Yu Qian up to his feet with his Divine Energy. He felt rather embarrassed and sorry. After all, he was the mastermind who orchestrated this matter.

“It’s not a big deal,” Duan Ling Tian said after helping Sun Yu Qian up.

When Sun Long asked about Duan Ling Tian’s origins, Duan Ling Tian said that his name was Li Feng and that he was a sectless cultivator. He said he was looking for one of the top forces in the Luo Domain, hoping to pay the force to let him use its Transportation Formation to go to the Outer Boundary.

“The Transportation Formation that leads to the Outer Boundary?!”

Sun Long and Sun Yu Qian were shocked when they heard that Duan Ling Tian planned to go to the Outer Boundary.

“Brother Li Feng, why do you want to go to the Outer Boundary? Although you’re strong, I really want to advise you against going to the Outer Boundary. It’s very dangerous there. It’s too risky for us intermediate Supreme Gods to go to the Outer Boundary… I went to the Outer Boundary once with our clan’s powerhouses. At that time, I saw many intermediate Supreme Gods being killed. Even weaker advanced Supreme Gods were slaughtered like meat on a chopping board!” Sun Long said. A hint of fear could be seen in his eyes nearing the end of his words. It was as though the Outer Boundary was a terrifying beast to him.

Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly and said, “I’m aware of the things you said. However, not only have I been taught to seek a breakthrough in the midst of danger, but my state of mind also requires me to be in dangerous situations to make progress. My goal is to break through and become an advanced Supreme God in the Outer Boundary. If I let fear get the better of me, I’m afraid I won’t be an advanced Supreme God for the rest of my life.”

Nearing the end of his words, Duan Ling Tian’s smile faded and was replaced by a solemn expression.

Sun Long smiled wryly and said, “It seems like this is your only choice, Brother Li Feng. It’s true that the Outer Boundary is very dangerous, but it’s still possible to survive if you’re cautious. This risk is indeed worth taking if it means you’ll be able to become an advanced Supreme God.” After a brief pause, he continued to say, “Brother Li Feng, since you haven’t promised the Loquacious Primordial Sect, there’s no need to look for them. Our Sun clan possesses a Transportation Formation to the Outer Boundary as well. Since you saved our lives, this is only a small way for us to repay your kindness. If we couldn’t even help you with this, we would’ve lived in vain for so many years.”

“That’s right, Senior Li Feng,” Sun Yu Qian chimed in, “You can go to the Outer Boundary through the Transportation Formation in our Sun clan’s estate. It’s the same as the one in the Loquacious Primordial Sect.”

Duan Ling Tian hesitated for a moment before he asked, “Isn’t this too troublesome for you? The Loquacious Primordial Sect isn’t too far away. Although I have to give them something as a form of payment, I can still afford to do so.”

“Brother Li Feng,” Sun Long said seriously, “Do you look down on us?”

Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly and replied, “Of course not, Elder Sun. If you insist, then I’ll apologize for the inconvenience first. However, if this will put you in a difficult situation, please don’t worry about me. I can always go to the Loquacious Primordial Sect. It’s no trouble at all.”

Sun Long waved his hand and said, “It’s not a big deal to use the Transportation Formation at all. Brother Li Feng, I don’t know what the Loquacious Primordial Sect told you, but all you need is a certain number of divine crystals to activate the Formation to the Outer Boundary. It’s very simple.”

Duan Ling Tian feigned a shocked expression when he heard Sun Long’s words. He said, “All it takes are divine crystals? Apart from divine crystals, the Loquacious Primordial Sect told me that some other things were needed as well. They didn’t tell me what it was and said that it was a secret.”

Duan Ling Tian’s acting skills could have won him an Oscar back on Earth.

“Senior Li Feng, the Loquacious Primordial Sect must have wanted to take advantage of you, hoping you’ll give them a treasure in exchange for using their Transportation Formation. I, Sun Yu Qian, might only be an Emperor of Gods and haven’t been to the Outer Boundary, but I still know a thing or two regarding the Transportation Formation that leads to the Outer Boundary. It’s just like what Second Uncle said. You only need a certain number of divine crystals to activate the Transportation Formation. Moreover, the number of divine crystals to send someone to the Outer Boundary isn’t much. It’s nothing to the Sun clan. In fact, even I can afford it!”
