Chapter 3765 Returning the Favor
Lin Yan and the others were shocked upon hearing Linghu Zheng Xing’s words.
“The Hidden Fog Sect is so ruthless?”
“He must have lost his mind!”
“It doesn’t make sense. The explosion of a rudimentary Lord of Gods shouldn’t be so terrifying. I flew up to have a look earlier. Almost the entire Linghu City is in ruins. Blood flowed like rivers everywhere.”
Upon hearing these words, Linghu Qing Ze said, “That madman set up various Killing Formations in his Little World to boost the force of his explosion. The explosion is comparable to the force of an advanced Lord of Gods.”
The crowd fell silent for a moment before they erupted in an uproar. “He’s insane!”
“With this, his soul is going to be even more injured!”
“Supreme Elder Feng is ruthless even to himself!”
While everyone was still discussing among themselves, someone suddenly exclaimed, “Try to sense the city using your Divine Consciousness! Is that noise from the soul of that crazy supreme elder?”
Everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, extended their Divine Consciousnesses and heard a spine-chilling scream that made them shiver.
“Just listening to his screams send chills up my spine. I can’t imagine how much his soul must be suffering.”
“His soul will be in torment for 15 minutes before it dissipates...”
“It’s said that the pain is 100 times more painful than being cut by thousands of blades at the same time.”
“That old madman from the Hidden Fog Sect will be infamous in the Eastern Ridge Mansion from today onward. The last time someone detonated their Little World in the Eastern Ridge Mansion was 10,000 years ago.”

Indeed, the Hidden Fog Sect’s Supreme Elder Feng became infamous after destroying the entire Linghu City except for the Linghu clan’s estate. Most of the inhabitants of the city died. Their blood flowed like the river in the city. For this reason, surviving relatives and friends of the dead harbored deep grudges against the Hidden Fog Sect. Naturally, they did not dare to confront the Hidden Fog Sect directly. However, they would kill the lone disciples from the Hidden Fog Sect they encountered. Not only did Supreme Elder ruin the Hidden Fog Sect’s reputation, but it dragged the sect down as well.
Duan Ling Tian’s gaze was complex as he surveyed the city in the air. The destruction of Linghu City was his fault, after all. It would take at least a decade for the Linghu clan to rebuild Linghu City. Even then, it would be impossible to restore Linghu City to its glorious state.
Duan Ling Tian knew the Hidden Fog Sect would be responsible for rebuilding Linghu City. After all, the Linghu clan and the Hidden Fog Sect were of equal strength. Since the destruction was caused by the Hidden Fog Sect, how could the Linghu clan let the Hidden Fog Sect off so easily?
Swoosh!
At this moment, Hou Qing Ning suddenly appeared next to Duan Ling Tian. He sighed before he said with a bitter smile on his face, “I really feel that those below the stage of Lord of Gods are like ants after that incident. Even an advanced King of Gods would die unless he was at the border of Linghu City.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said, “If you ask me, everyone below the stage of an Emperor of Gods is like ants. The explosion was only caused by a rudimentary Lord of Gods. Can you imagine the scale of the explosion if it was an Emperor of Gods or a Supreme God? Perhaps, the only way to be able to disregard all threats is to become a supreme powerhouse.”
Hou Qing Ning remained silent.
“Stay in the Linghu clan for a while before you leave,” Duan Ling Tian said, “You can contact your father in the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect. Since the Hidden Fog Sect isn’t involved in the matter, your sect should be safe.”
Hou Qing Ning nodded before he said, “Thank you, Duan Ling Tian.”
Duan Ling Tian shook his head before he said with a smile, “I should thank you instead. If it weren’t for you, I would’ve shown up unprepared. If you didn’t warn me, Supreme Elder Feng would’ve succeeded in killing me. You saved my life.”
Hou Qing Ning smiled wryly. “However, Supreme Elder Feng only had a chance to kill you because of me.”
“You’re wrong,” Duan Ling Tian said as his eyes glinted, “He was determined to kill me. Even if it weren’t you, he would’ve found other ways to try and kill me.”
Previously, Duan Ling Tian had been outside of Linghu City in the wilderness when he received Hou Qing Ning’s warning. He would have died if he had run into Supreme Elder Feng at that time.
Over the next period of time, Duan Ling Tian focused on refining Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Divine Pills into Limit Divine Pills. For that reason, Pill Tribulations would often occur in the sky above his courtyard. In the beginning, many members of the Linghu clan would come out to watch the show. However, due to the frequency of the Pill Tribulations, the crowd grew smaller and smaller as they grew numb to the phenomena.
With this, everyone confirmed that the Linghu clan’s new Revered Elder was truly capable of refining Limit Divine Pills whenever he wanted without fail.
At this time, a Lord of Gods grinned from ear to ear when Duan Ling Tian handed him the promised god-grade Limit Divine Pills. He asked with eyes shining with anticipation, “Revered Elder Duan, can you refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills?”.
“I’ve yet to succeed in refining king-grade Limit Divine Pills,” Duan Ling Tian said as he shook his head. It was imperative that he kept a low profile, after all. He had yet to disclose his true ability to Linghu Ren Jie, let alone an outsider.
With that, the four Lords of Gods left the Linghu clan’s estate, satisfied after receiving the promised Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Limit Divine Pills.
Duan Ling Tian also refined the Limit Divine Pills for the Lords of Gods from the Linghu clan. They naturally did not refuse the pill since the pills would help their descendants or disciples’ cultivation.
When Duan Ling Tian was done returning the favor, he continued refining god-grade Limit Divine Pills, king-grade Divine Pills, and a few lord-grade Divine Pills for Hou Qing Ning.
Initially, Hou Qing Ning had adamantly refused, but Duan Ling Tian was even more adamant that he accepted the Divine Pils. Hence, he had no choice but to acquiesce.
Hou Qing Ning asked, “Duan Ling Tian, what are your plans next? Are you ready to join the Flying Dragon Sect soon?”
In Hou Qing Ning’s opinion, with Duan Ling Tian’s talent, it would be a waste for Duan Ling Tian to stay in the Linghu clan.
“I’ll go to the Flying Dragon Sect to participate in its Latent Dragon Grand Contest 20 years later,” Duan Ling Tian replied. Then, he said offhandedly, “From what I know, even an advanced god below the age of 5,000 can become an outer disciple as long as he or she is talented and is able to pass the test. Are you interested in joining the Flying Dragon Sect with me?”
Hou Qing Ning fell silent for a moment before he said, “Alright! I’ll join the Flying Dragon Sect with you!”
Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised. He did not expect Hou Qing Ning to agree so readily.
In fact, Hou Qing Ning would not have dared to say such words with confidence if it were not for the Divine Pills that Duan Ling Tian had just given him. To be precise, he would not be so confident if it were not for the Limit Divine Pills that Duan Ling Tian had given him. Duan Ling Tian had told him that even though he had consumed the ordinary Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Divine Pills, the Limit Divine Pills version would still be effective. However, similar to the ordinary version, the Limit Divine Pills were only effective during one’s first consumption.
A few days later.
“Duan Ling Tian, I’ll see you at the Flying Dragon Sect 20 years later!” Hou Qing Ning said before he bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian and left the Linghu clan’s estate.
In order to ensure that Hou Qing Ning safely returned to the Hidden Fog Academy and the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect, Linghu Ren Jie sent a core elder to accompany Hou Qing Ning during his journey. Naturally, Linghu Ren Jie only did this for Duan Ling Tian’s sake. Otherwise, he would not have bothered with a Young Master from a small king-rank sect.
After Hou Qing Ning left, Linghu Ren Jie looked for Duan Ling Tian. As soon as he saw Duan Ling Tian, he asked, “Duan Ling Tian, was it frightening?”
Duan Ling Tian shook his head. Then, he said, “If I didn’t survive, you’d have to return to the Murong clan’s favor on my behalf, Clan Leader.”
After that, Duan Ling Tian handed Linghu Ren Jie ten bottles of pills as he said, “These are ten bottles of god-grade Limit Divine Pills. Are they enough?” “Yes, it’s more than enough,” Linghu Ren Jie said with a smile, “I promised Murong Yun Liu six bottles, after all. Since you gave me ten bottles, I’ll keep the extras for myself!”
Linghu Ren Sie did not stand on ceremony with Duan Ling Tian. After all, he treated Duan Ling Tian like one of his own.
