Chapter 3754 Two Years Later
Naturally, Qian Yin’s actions caused a commotion in the Hidden Fog Sect. How could the others not be skeptical of such a huge change? Moreover, they knew the high-ranking officials of the Hidden Fog Sect had been aware from the beginning that Duan Ling Tian had only acted in self-defense, but their stance was completely different in the beginning.
Apart from that, Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao were not only core disciples of the Hidden Fog Sect, but they were also the disciples of two out of the four Supreme Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect respectively. Why would the duo’s masters suddenly give up on the idea of revenge?
“What do you think is happening? Are they trying to lull Duan Ling Tian into a false sense of security?” “Lull him into a false sense of security?”
“That’s right. Perhaps, the sect hopes to catch Duan Ling Tian off guard.”
“I don’t think so. After all, it’s unnecessary to do such a thing.”
“In any case, this matter has finally come to an end since the sect leader clearly has no intention to pursue this matter anymore.”
“Even then, I’m really curious about what happened to bring about such a change…”
Wu Feng Yin, the second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect, had been shocked when he first learned about what happened.
Previously, when rumors about Duan Ling Tian’s betrayal spread, Wu Feng Yin could feel the hostility of everyone in the Hidden Fog Sect toward Duan Ling Tian. With so many people who hated Duan Ling Tian, he was no longer worried about Duan Ling Tian targeting him. However, now that things had changed, Wu Feng Yin felt a sense of crisis again. He wondered if he should leave the Hidden Fog Sect immediately or if he should speak to Qian Yin first to find out what happened. After thinking about it, he decided to speak to Qian Yin first.
As the second leader of the Hidden Fog Sect, it was not difficult for Wu Feng Yin to meet Qian
Yin.
“Sect Leader.”
“Elder Wu? What’s the matter?” Qian Yin looked at Wu Feng Yin suspiciously.
Wu Feng Yin asked directly, “Sect Leader, why did our sect change our stance regarding Duan Ling Tian? He killed Supreme Elder Lei and Supreme Elder Feng’s disciples, after all. How can we let go of that matter? Are the two Supreme Elders really willing to let him go?”
“That’s right.” Qian Yin nodded. “We’ve all come to an agreement and decided not to make an enemy out of Duan Ling Tian.”
Then, Qian Yin asked, puzzled, “Elder Wu, did you come only to ask me this?” Then, as though he just recalled something, he asked warily, “Elder Wu, don’t tell me you did something to Duan Ling Tian before he left the sect…”
“No.” Wu Feng Yin quickly shook his head. “Initially, I wanted to act against him, but I didn’t find a good chance to do so. He killed my eldest disciple, Tu Feng, and I’m worried he’d target me, thinking that I’d seek revenge for Tu Feng.”
“I see.” Qian Yin nodded. Then, he said bluntly, “Don’t worry. Since you didn’t act against me yet, he won’t target you. Perhaps, he has already forgotten about you. You may think your status as the second elder is rather grand, but in reality, he likely doesn’t think much about you.”
Wu Feng Yin smiled wryly upon hearing these words. Then, he asked, “May I ask why Supreme Elder Lei and Supreme Elder Feng decided to let him go? Did you manage to confirm his identity and background? Who’s he? Is he truly from an emperor-rank force?” “I haven’t confirmed his identity and background,” Qian Yin said as he shook his head.
Wu Feng Yin was puzzled. Then, he asked skeptically, “Then, why did the two supreme elders let him go?”
Wu Feng Yin knew the two supreme elders were not pushovers. They would not choose to take a step back for no reason.
“You’ll find out sooner or later so I’ll just be honest with you,” Qian Yin explained, “Supreme Elder Lei went to Linghu City in hopes of capturing Duan Ling Tian back to our sect. If it’s proven that Duan Ling Tian comes from a formidable force, it won’t be too late to let him go at that time. Otherwise, we’ll kill him to avenge Xiong Feng and Long Xiao.”
Qian Yin paused briefly before he said, “When Supreme Elder Lei was in Linghu City, he heard something that changed his mind. He heard that Duan Ling Tian managed to refine the Limit Divine Pills.”
Wu Feng Yin’s eyes widened in shock. “Limit Divine Pills?”
Although Wu Feng Yin was not an alchemist, he naturally knew what this meant. Even without a backer, Duan Ling Tian’s future was incomparably bright. Unless they were certain they could kill him, no one would risk offending him. If he were in the two supreme elders’ shoes, he would have made the same decisions as them.
“Sect leader, you’re right. I’m sure he doesn’t remember me at all,” Wu Feng Yin said with a wry smile. Since he had yet to act against Duan Ling Tian, how could Duan Ling Tian remember a small character like him?”
Duan Ling Tian only learned about what happened in the Hidden Fog Sect two months later. Apart from refuting rumors that he betrayed the Hidden Fog Sect, the Hidden Fog Sect also wished him well in the Linghu clan.
“I really didn’t expect refining the Limit Divine Pills is enough to make Supreme Elder Lei and the Hidden Fog Sect take a step back…”
Although he was highly talented, and he was one of the strongest rudimentary Kings of Gods, his talent in alchemy was even more terrifying than his cultivation talent.
As strong as he was, any Lords of Gods in the lord-rank Hidden Fog Sect could easily kill him. However, there was no one in the Hidden Fog Sect who could refine a Limit Divine Pill like he did.
“In any case, this benefits me…” Although Duan Ling Tian was unhappy with the Hidden Fog Sect, he knew it was a good thing to have one less enemy. Moreover, he did not have enmity with the Hidden Fog Sect itself. The people he had enmity with were Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao who had already died.
Over this period of time, Duan Ling Tian had focused on studying alchemy in the Linghu clan. Apart from refining pills, he would also have discussions with Lin Yan, the Chief Alchemist of the Linghu clan. He had learned the basics of refining higher-grade pills from Lin Yan during their time together. Currently, he could refine ordinary king-grade Divine Pills.
During the times he refined the king-grade Divine Pills, he did not use too much vitality energy, afraid of creating more Limit Divine
Pills.
It was not a big deal to refine god-grade Limit Divine Pills, but if word got out that he managed to refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills, he was afraid some emperor-rank forces and sectless cultivators might not be able to sit still.
It would not be too bad if it were just the emperor-rank forces since they would only want to recruit him. However, rogue forces and sectless cultivators might kidnap him so they could force him to refine pills. Who knew if they would kill or torture him if he refused them?
Hence, Duan Ling Tian decisively kept a low profile.
Recently, Duan Ling Tian was filled with the urge to leave the Linghu clan’s estate to refine king-grade Divine Pills.
Duan Ling Tian sighed. “Alas, I can’t leave the clan estate for the time being. Even if the Hidden Fog Sect has given up, there’s still Kuang Tian Zheng. I don’t for sure if he’s still waiting for me in Linghu City. If Kuang Tian Zheng makes a move outside of the clan estate, I’m afraid that even if the supreme elders of the clan were present, they still wouldn’t be able to protect me.”
Duan Ling Tian had learned from Linghu Ren Jie that Kuang Tian Zheng was an intermediate Lord of Gods. He was must stronger than ordinary intermediate Lords of Gods.
“I’ll think of leaving in the future… If Kuang Tian Zheng is truly in Linghu City, he should be bored of waiting after a few more years…” Unlike cultivating, where one would easily lose track of time, time seemed to tick slower when one was waiting. Even a Lord of God like Kuang Tian Zheng would be able to wait for so long,
Time flew by. In just a blink of an eye, two years had passed. Swoosh!
At this time, a figure shot out of the Hidden Fog Sect and flew in the direction of Skywind City. The figure belonged to Supreme Elder Feng, one of the four Supreme Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect.
Halfway through his journey, Supreme Elder Feng changed into a black hooded robe that hid his face.
When he arrived at Skywind City, he went to the Hidden Fog Academy immediately. No one seemed to notice his arrival.
At this time, Hou Qing Ning’s door was kicked open. He, who was cultivating, opened his eyes, and when he saw the black-clad hooded man in front of him, his expression changed drastically.
“Who are you?”
