Chapter 4151: Wu Ping

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian’s expression remained indifferent when faced with the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion. Although he had won the fight earlier, he was still calm as though nothing had happened. However, it was impossible for him to be completely unaffected. After all, he was just a rudimentary Emperor of Gods who had just broken through recently.

At the same time, the two old men standing behind the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion, who were intermediate Emperors of Gods, looked at Duan Ling Tian with eyes that burned with hostility.

As for the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion, he had spoken to Duan Ling Tian earlier not because he had learned about what happened from Wu Xiang Qian. Regardless of his feelings, he was very good at hiding them. He was friendly toward Duan Ling Tian earlier and congratulated Duan Ling Tian because the emperor-grade secret realm only appeared due to Duan Ling Tian’s breakthrough; his gesture of goodwill was due to that reason. After all, the emperor-grade secret realm would be a fortuitous encounter for him as well.

As the most powerful Emperor of Gods in the Divine Spirit Mansion, the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion was certain that he would obtain great benefits after entering the emperor-grade secret realm compared to the other Emperors of Gods if they were rewarded based on their strength.

Meanwhile, Wu Xiang Qian’s eyes were gleaming as he wondered if he should inform the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion about Duan Ling Tian killing Tan Wu, an intermediate Emperor of Gods.

Tan Wu was relatively well-known in the Divine Spirit Mansion. In fact, he even had some connection to the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion. In the end, he dismissed the idea as he thought to himself, ‘Forget it. I won’t say anything…’

Wu Xiang Qian knew that if he told the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion about Tan Wu, the Mansion Master would likely take action against Duan Ling Tian. Even if the Mansion Master did not try to kill Duan Ling Tian, the Mansion Master would definitely try to win a talent like Duan Ling Tian over. However, it did not seem like it would be easy for the Mansion Master to win Duan Ling Tian over. If the Mansion Master failed to win Duan Ling Tian over, there was no doubt that the Mansion Master would kill Duan Ling Tian.

Apart from that, the emperor-grade secret realm would appear due to Duan Ling Tian’s breakthrough. By entering the secret realm, they would already be competing with Duan Ling Tian for the fortuitous encounter inside. Who knew if Duan Ling Tian would hold a grudge against them? Duan Ling Tian might not be very strong now, but he would definitely grow stronger in the future. What if Duan Ling Tian decided to look for trouble with them in the future?

Most importantly, Wu Xiang Qian decided against telling the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion about Tan Wu mostly because of his own well-being.

‘The Mansion Master might not necessarily be able to kill Duan Ling Tian… If the Mansion Master really fails, who knows if Duan Ling Tian will seek revenge from me for betraying him?’

Due to all these reasons, Wu Xiang Qian decided to remain silent. Otherwise, with his cultivation base, it would not be much of a problem to send a Voice Transmission to the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion without the knowledge of Duan Ling Tian, who was only a rudimentary Emperor of Gods.

Swoosh!

After the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion and the two intermediate Emperors of Gods arrived, a few other people arrived as well. All of them recognized the Mansion Master immediately and took the initiative to greet him.

Buzz!

At this time, a saber ray shot over, illuminating the sky and the ground, toward the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion. Its light made the surroundings pale in comparison.

“Impudent! How dare you!”

Before the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion had a chance to react, the two old men behind him changed greatly before they made a move one after another to stop the saber ray.

Alas, the two old men failed to stop the saber ray as it continued on its trajectory toward the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion.

The Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion casually waved his hand, deflecting the saber ray. Then, he looked at the sky and said, “Wu Ping, I didn’t expect you to come as well.”

Following that, a tall and muscular figure appeared in the sky. It was a bearded middle-aged man dressed in a turquoise robe. He possessed a pair of big eyes, and he looked rough around the edges. As soon as he appeared, he said with a sigh, “Mansion Master Mo, you’re truly strong. I’ve completely stabilized my cultivation base in the realm of an advanced Emperor of Gods, and yet, you easily deflected the attack I unleashed with all my might.”

Based on the way the middle-aged spoke, it was clear he was rather familiar with the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion.

The Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion, Mo Wen Dao, smiled slightly and said, “You didn’t use your prominent divine artifact. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to deflect your attack so easily.Wu Ping, why don’t you consider being my subordinate?”

Mo Wen Dao was very blunt and did not hide his intention to recruit Wu Ping, the middle-aged man.

“Forget it. I’m used to living a carefree life,” Wu Ping said as he shook his head, “If I was willing to be your subordinate, I would’ve joined you back then. I wouldn’t have waited until today…”

“That’s true…” Mo Wen Dao nodded slightly. Based on his expression, it was obvious he was not surprised by Wu Ping’s reply.

Then, Wu Ping turned to look at the two old men standing behind Mo Wen Dao before he said with a grin, “The both of you haven’t improved at all after so many years… Back then, it’d be easy for either one of you to defeat me…” Then, he clicked his tongue before he continued to say, “But now…”

The two old men’s expressions turned gloomy immediately. In the past, it was indeed easy for them to defeat Wu Ping. At that time, they had also wondered why Mo Wen Dao valued Wu Ping, who seemed like an ordinary intermediate Emperor of Gods, so much. However, based on what happened today, it seemed like Mo Wen Dao had long discovered Wu Ping’s talent. Currently, they were no match at all for Wu Ping. Even if they joined forces, they would still be killed by Wu Ping.

Unable to bear it any longer, Mo Wen Dao said calmly, “Enough. Wu Ping, although I appreciate your talent, it doesn’t mean that I’ll stand by and do nothing while you humiliate and ridicule my men. There are certain words you shouldn’t say. Perhaps, we should spar next time to train?”

Upon hearing these words, the old men looked at Mo Wen Dao gratefully.

On the other hand, Wu Ping smiled sheepishly as he said, “Mansion Master, I was just joking with the two seniors.”

The two men’s expressions turned complicated when they heard the word ‘senior’. Age had truly caught up to them.

Soon after, Wu Ping’s attention began to wander. He asked, “Who was the one who broke through into the realm of an Emperor of Gods and brought forth the emperor-grade secret realm?” His eyes landed on Duan Ling Tian before he continued to say, “Was it you, young lad? Congratulations. If I improve in the emperor-grade secret realm this time, I’ll owe you a favor. I’ll definitely repay you in the future.”

“Senior, there’s no need to be so polite,” Duan Ling Tian said. His impression of Wu Ping was not bad. He continued to say, “Although the emperor-grade secret realm appeared because of me, I wouldn’t be able to open it without the help of 19 Emperors of Gods. As for the fortuitous encounters inside, it’ll all depend on our personal luck. Senior, there’s no need to feel like you owe me a favor.”

Upon hearing these words, not only was Wu Ping stunned, but even Mo Wen Dao, the two old men behind him, and the old rudimentary Emperor of Gods were stunned. None of them expected Duan Ling Tian to reject the favor of an advanced Emperor of Gods who had completely stabilized his cultivation base.

On the contrary, Wu Xiang Qian did not look too surprised. After all, in his opinion, Duan Ling Tian had a powerful background. Who knew if Duan Ling Tian had the support of a Supreme God who was on par with or possibly stronger than the Lord of the Divine Kingdom?

After a moment, Wu Ping laughed when he regained his senses. His gaze was much friendlier as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Very well! Young lad, I’ve taken a liking to you! If we meet in the secret realm, I promise to protect you thoroughly. Consider it as repayment. Don’t refuse me. I’m a respectable person in the Divine Spirit Mansion, after all, and I’m a man of my word!”

With these words, it was difficult for Duan Ling Tian to refuse Wu Ping again. At the same time, his impression of Wu Ping rose again.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian, who had changed into a purple robe, naturally still possessed the appearance of You Wen Feng, the boy toy of Liu Wu You, the City Governor of Wu You City. He could not help but wonder inwardly, ‘The City Governor of Wu You City won’t come, right?’

The emperor-grade secret realm could only be opened by twenty Emperors of Gods, and only twenty Emperors of Gods could enter the secret realm. Although twenty was not a big number, it was not an easy task to gather twenty Emperors of Gods.

Currently, apart from Duan Ling Tian, there were six people present on the scene. There were seven people including him, which meant that they were still short of thirteen people.

Although there was no shortage of Emperors of Gods in the Divine Spirit Mansion, the Emperors of Gods would only come here if they received the news.

Duan Ling Tian glanced at the Emperors of Gods around him as he thought to himself, ‘If they don’t call their friends over, it’ll take a while to wait for the arrival of the remaining thirteen Emperors of Gods…’

Despite his thoughts, Duan Ling Tian was not particularly worried. If no one else came, these people would definitely call their friends over.

As expected, after an hour, when no one else showed up, Mo Wen Dao, the Mansion Master of the Divine Spirit Mansion, said, “Everyone, why don’t we call our friends over to make up for the remaining thirteen Emperors of Gods we need? Since the secret realm appeared due to this young man, he can call three people over. I don’t think anyone will object to this, right?”

The others naturally shook their heads in response to Mo Wen Dao’s question.

Then, Mo Wen Dao looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked, “Young lad, what do you think?”

Duan Ling Tian shrugged and said, “I have no friends. I only need to call one person over. Mansion Master Mo, I’ll have to trouble you to call Liu Wu You, the City Governor of Wu You City, over.”

‘The City Governor of Wu You City?’

Mo Wen Yao raised an eyebrow. Then, he looked at Duan Ling Tian meaningfully as he asked, “Young lad, so you’re familiar with City Governor Wu You?”

Wu Xiang Qian and the others looked at Duan Ling Tian with dubious expressions on their faces as well.

Duan Ling Tian was perplexed when he sensed the strange gazes. He wondered inwardly, ‘Why are they looking at me like this? It’s true that I don’t have any friends. After coming to this world, before meeting all of you, Liu Wu You is the only Emperor of Gods I met whom I didn’t kill…’

Meanwhile, Mo Wen Dao said, “Call her over.”

Although they could not communicate through Soul Pearls in this world, there were other items that could be used to send messages. However, they were naturally inferior to Soul Pearls since they were not as secure.

The people here communicated using an item called the Communication Jade. Like sending a letter via pigeons, the message could be intercepted halfway.
