Chapter 1632: Duan Ling Tian is Here

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Ye Feng’s the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect! Not too long ago, I heard the Dark Nether Sect was annihilated. It only exists in name now since the sect’s Supreme Elder is dead, and the Sect Leader has gone missing. I didn’t expect him to be in King Qian’s estate.”

Many people were surprised by this.

“He’s just like a dog that ran away with its tail between its legs!” Some people who had suffered losses from the Dark Nether Sect began to curse in a low voice.

Clearly, Ye Feng’s reputation was not the best.

Ye Feng’s expression darkened when he heard those words.

Meanwhile, the old man next to him could barely conceal the excitement in his eyes. He had come here today to witness the death of his enemy who had killed his third brother. This was all he cared about.

Once that person who killed his third brother died, he would be able to happily return to the southern frontier of Windfall Nation where his lair was located, and he would continue his life as a local tyrant.

King Qian did not expect King Rong would be able to deflect his words so easily. He knew he was not as eloquent as King Rong, and he was wise enough to stop talking. However, this did not mean King Rong would let him go even if he stopped talking.

“Fourth Brother, I heard that one of today’s main characters is a guest at King Qian’s estate? Why isn’t he here yet? He won’t bail on you, right?” King Rong asked with a smile.

When King Qian heard King Rong’s words, King Qian felt a thrill of delight in his heart. He did not expect King Rong to dig a hole and jump into the hole on his own accord. He replied immediately, “Second Brother, do you know who my guest is? Do you really think he won’t show up? Unless you think he’s not brave enough to fight Duan Ling Tian?”

King Rong felt slightly uneasy when he heard this. He was merely mocking King Qian, but King Qian had completely distorted his words and made it seem as though he was mocking the lineal disciple of Lin Clan from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion.

“Humph! King Rong, is it? Judging by your words, you think I’m inferior to Duan Ling Tian?” Someone sneered. Soon after, a white figure appeared before everyone’s eyes.

It was a white-clad young man with a hint of defiance between his eyebrows. He was staring intently at King Rong. It seemed like he was not concerned with King Rong’s status as the Second Prince of Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family.

King Rong’s face darkened as the three old men behind him shouted in unison, “How rude!” The auras from the three Saint Stage powerhouses swept out and shrouded the white-clad young man.

Faced with the three auras from the Saint Stage powerhouses, the white-clad young man remained unbothered and unaffected.

The three old men frowned immediately when they discovered the white-clad young man’s cultivation base could not be suppressed by their auras alone. Naturally, this did not mean he was a Saint Stage powerhouse. They were very certain about this.

However, even if the white-clad young man was not a Saint Stage powerhouse yet, it did not mean he would not break through to the Saint Stage tomorrow. They knew this because they could sense the white-clad young man was on the verge of breaking through to the Saint Stage. Since the three old men had experienced this before, it was not difficult for them to sense the impending breakthrough.

“He’s the one who’s ranked first on the Heaven Ranking from Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion, Lin Dong?”

“Lin Dong is really arrogant. How dare he behave so rudely in front of the Second Imperial Highness, King Rong.”

“Humph! He’s arrogant because he has the capability to act like that... As far as I know, Lin Dong’s clan is a sixth-rate force in the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion. They’re not inferior to the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family. As a lineal disciple of such a clan, why would he be afraid of the Second Imperial Highness, King Rong?”

“With Lin Dong’s cultivation base and fame, he must have a high position in his clan... Perhaps, King Rong might not even dare to offend him.”

Although the people were talking in hushed tones, their words were still clearly heard by King Rong.

A killing intent immediately gleamed in King Rong’s eyes as he looked at Lin Dong. He really wanted to kill him! However, just as the people had said, he really did not dare to offend Lin Dong.

When King Rong’s eyes unintentionally landed on King Qian, he discovered King Qian was looking at him and Lin Dong as though he was watching a show. His face darkened immediately.

In front of all these people, King Rong, naturally, would not give in to Lin Dong. Instead, as a way out, he turned to King Qian and said faintly, “Fourth Brother, I did not say that Lin Dong is not brave enough to fight Duan Ling Tian. Please don’t distort my words in front of so many people.”

However, King Qian was not willing to let him off the hook. He continued to say, “Second Brother, then what do your words mean? What do you mean when you said the guest from my estate might bail on me?”

“Humph!” King Rong snorted. He looked away from King Qian, choosing to ignore him.

As the lineal disciple of Lin Clan and the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking, Lin Dong was certainly not stupid. He could tell King Qian was using him. Therefore, he did not pursue this matter and act in accordance with King Qian’s wish when he saw King Rong had found an out for himself.

Sou!

Lin Dong suddenly moved. He moved away from the crowd and appeared in the distance in just a blink of an eye.

His eyes swept past the crowd as he asked coldly, “Is Duan Ling Tian here?”

His voice echoed in Northern Mang Mountain.

“Is Duan Ling Tian here?”

“Is Duan Ling Tian here?”

However, no one responded to his question.

Meanwhile, the people present on the scene looked up and saw the sun shining in the sky. It was already noon. They looked around, trying to find Duan Ling Tian.

“Master Duan really didn’t dare to come?”

“Sure enough, it’s just like I imagined! Oh, well, I was just trying my luck today. I didn’t think Duan Ling Tian would show up. It’s a Death Duel after all.”

“It’s no surprise he’s afraid of the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking.”

“What a pity! I’ve wasted my time here.”

Many people sighed in disappointment, but none of them mocked Duan Ling Tian.

In their opinion, Lin Dong was the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking from Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion after all. Duan Ling Tian was not as well known as him. If they were in Duan Ling Tian’s shoes, they would have rejected the Death Duel issued by Lin Dong.

Since Lin Dong dared to issue a Death Duel, it was obvious he was confident about his strength.

If Duan Ling Tian really came, did it not mean that he was stupid?

Behind King Qian, the old man who stood next to Situ Ming and Ye Feng had a gloomy expression on his face. “Why isn’t Duan Ling Tian here yet? Could it be that he doesn’t dare to show up?”

He would not be able to avenge his third brother if Duan Ling Tian did not show up.

“He wouldn’t chicken out, would he?” Even King Qian could not help but frown. He would lose the chance of obtaining the Devilseal Tablet if Duan Ling Tian really did not show up.

It was not that it did not cross his mind to send his men out and snatch the Devilseal Tablet away from Duan Ling Tian. It was just that he discovered Duan Ling Tian was still staying in the Situ Clan even though he had announced his departure from the clan. There was no chance for his men to make a move at all.

‘I hope Master Duan doesn’t show up.” Unlike King Qian, Situ Hao, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, hoped that Duan Ling Tian would not show up.

On the other hand, Situ Hang stood at the side with a bitter expression on his face. He knew Master Duan would show up because he had already given his word.

In that regard, he trusted Master Duan unconditionally.

Although most people present on the scene were almost certain Duan Ling Tian would not show up, none of them was in a hurry to leave. After all, it was just a little past noon. Who knew if a miracle would happen if they waited for a while? If Duan Ling Tian came after they had left, would they not have missed the show?

Suddenly, a calm voice sounded from the distance, “The strongest person on the Heaven Ranking. Lin Dong from Lin Clan, is it?”

Although he had not arrived, his voice could already be heard.

After hearing the voice, Situ Hao smiled bitterly. “Master Duan... He came after all.”

Situ Hang who was standing at the side was not surprised at all. He was absolutely certain Duan Ling Tian would show up.

Meanwhile, the eyes of Bai Li Hong and the others shone brightly.

After they listened to Duan Ling Tian’s speech yesterday, they were all filled with confidence in Duan Ling Tian. They looked forward to Duan Ling Tian killing Lin Dong and making a name for himself.

“T-this is... the former Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Master Duan?” The people exchanged glances with each other.

“That should be it!”

Everyone’s eyes immediately shifted to the direction where the voice came from.

A figure quickly appeared. After he gradually got closer, one could see it was a young man dressed in a purple robe. The young man was handsome, and he had an extraordinary bearing. He had dashing eyebrows and bright eyes

As soon as he appeared, he caught the attention of many female Martial and Dao Cultivators who were present. Those burning gazes were trained on Duan Ling Tian as though they wished they own him.

Shortly after that, someone who recognized Duan Ling Tian said in a low voice, “It’s Master Duan!”

That person was one of the guards from Situ Clan. Although his rank was not high enough for him to accompany the Clan Leader here today, he came on his own because he was not on duty.

“He’s Master Duan?” Many people began to stare at Duan Ling Tian intently after they had gotten the confirmation that it was him.

“So young!”

“Of course! I heard that Master Duan is not even forty years old.”

“He’s not even forty, but he already possesses the strength to enter the top ten of the Heaven Ranking... Tsk tsk, I don’t think there’s anyone like him in the history of Windfall Nation.”

“No! There’s someone like that in Windfall Nation... Have you forgotten about Lady Feng from the Drift Blaze Sect? Although Lady Feng was defeated by Master Duan, her strength is widely acknowledged by many Saint Stage powerhouses. Those Saint Stage powerhouses said that Lady Feng has the strength to enter the top ten of the Heaven Ranking.”

A group of people discussed among themselves as they looked at Duan Ling Tian with a hint of enthusiasm in their eyes.

For a moment, everyone forgot about the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking, Lin Dong.

This was only natural since Lin Dong was not from Windfall Nation regardless of how famous he was. To the people from Windfall Nation who were present, Lin Dong could not be compared to Duan Ling Tian who rose to fame in their own Windfall Nation.
