Chapter 4482 - 4482 The Valley Court

4482 The Valley Court

A short distance away from the path connecting the Sacred Wind Realm to the Sacred Lightning Realm, Duan Ling Tian sent Hu Fei Yan off his flying ship.

“Deputy Commander Hu, we’ll go our separate ways from here. Till we meet again,” Duan Ling Tian said to Hu Fei Yan with a smile on his face.

“Li Feng, try to keep a low profile during the remainder of your journey. It may seem like the matter with the two major clans of the Peaceful Might Realm is over, but who knows if they intend to seek revenge from you? It’s easy for them to hire someone to do the dirty work for them, especially with all the treasures you have in your possession,” Hu Fei Yan said solemnly, “You may have ways to deter ordinary supreme powerhouses, but there’s no guarantee they’ll work every time. Your safety will only be guaranteed if the supreme powerhouse behind you personally protects you.”

“Thank you for your kind reminder, Deputy Commander Hu. I’ll be extra cautious,” Duan Ling Tian said as he nodded with a faint smile on his face. His expression was a little solemn as well when he spoke.

“Farewell,” Hu Fei Yan said with a nod before she boarded her flying ship and took off.

In just a moment, Hu Fei Yan’s flying ship was nothing more than a black dot in the distance before it vanished from sight.

In the beginning, Hu Fei Yan agreed to travel with Duan Ling Tian because she thought their strengths were on par with each other and that they could help each other with raising their cultivation bases. However, after discovering that Duan Ling Tian had become stronger than her after his law of space had improved, she did not think it was a good idea to continue traveling with him. She was worried she would grow complacent and rely on him too much, which would hinder her progress. As such, she decided to part ways with Duan Ling Tian.

After Hu Fei Yan left, Duan Ling Tian did not return to his flying ship immediately. He teleported a few times in the distance before he came to an abrupt stop. He reached out and grabbed something, and in just a moment, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air. He recognized the other party immediately.

The other party was Yu Nie, a disheveled middle-aged man who was a member of the group of bandits, which Tan Xiu Teng annihilated previously. He was also the one who led Zhong Yue to Duan Ling Tian to avenge the death of his leader, who happened to be Zhong Yue’s junior brother as well.

“My lord, please spare me!” Yu Nie pleaded as soon as he was found. Naturally, he knew that once Zhong Yue led his men over to stop Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian would know that someone had been tailing him. In fact, he was not stupid nor was he bold enough to tail Duan Ling Tian, but he was forced and threatened by Zhong Yue to do so. Zhong Yue had poisoned him, and he needed the antidote from Zhong Yue. As such, he could only do Zhong Yue’s bidding.

“Did Zhong Yue tell you to keep an eye on us?” Duan Ling Tian asked tonelessly. He naturally knew now that the middle-aged man had been tailing him from the beginning and had revealed his whereabouts to Zhong Yue previously.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “Previously, he told me to keep an eye on you, but after that, he no longer contacted me. This time, it was Leng Jing who contacted me and ordered me to keep following you. Just like Zhong Yue, he poisoned him and forced me to do his bidding.” Then, he pleaded, “My lord, please forgive me! I was forced to do this! Please don’t kill me!”

Duan Ling Tian ignored the middle-aged man’s plea and clenched his fist. In just a blink of an eye, the terrifying spatial energy that restrained the middle-aged man surged and killed the middle-aged man instantly.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian surveyed his surroundings for a moment to make sure no one was watching before he finally returned to his flying ship. When he arrived, he said to Tan Xiu Teng, “Disguise yourself as an old man for the remainder of our journey.”

After saying that, Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Energy and the energy from his law of space surged. Then, his appearance changed immediately from a gentle and handsome young man to a cold and arrogant man with a domineering aura. He now had thick and bushy eyebrows that framed a pair of icy eyes.

Similarly, Tan Xiu Teng transformed into an old man dressed in a long gray robe. After he was done with his transformation, he bowed at Duan Ling Tian respectfully and asked in a hoarse voice, “Young master, do you plan to go to the Sacred Wind Realm or the Sacred Lightning Realm?”

At this time, they were on the path that connected the Sacred Wind Realm and the Sacred Lightning Realm.

Hu Fei Yan had left in the direction of the Sacred Wind Realm earlier.

With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian said as his eyes glinted under sunlight, “Let’s go to the Sacred Lightning Realm.”

In his opinion, it was best to put some distance between him and Hu Fei Yan.

“Let’s travel using another flying ship,” Duan Ling Tian said to Tan Xiu Teng. After all, the flying ship he was using now was too conspicuous.

…

In the Peaceful Might Realm…

In a quiet and remote mountain range near the path that connected the Sacred Wind Realm and the Sacred Lightning Realm, a few figures could be seen flying in and out every once in a while.

Valley Court, a supreme force, had built its base in this mountain range. The Valley Court was a reclusive force and kept mostly to itself. It was not as powerful as the Zhong clan and the Leng clan. After all, the most powerful person in the Valley Court was only a new supreme powerhouse.

In a cave in the depths of the Valley Court’s base, a middle-aged man dressed in a long fiery-red robe suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes shone with greed as he muttered to himself, “Three lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod and nine stalks of Blissful Flower Kings? With these treasures, the Valley Court might be able to cultivate a few outstanding disciples with the potential to become supreme powerhouses. I have to plan my next move carefully. I should visit the Lin clan and inform Brother Lin about this matter first…”
