War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian kept half of the jade tokens he had handed out to the eight leaders of the Three Palaces and Six Halls. The jade tokens he had kept corresponded with the jade tokens he had handed out. If Yuwen Hao Chen or any of the others used the jade tokens, the jade tokens he had with him would alert him of it even if he was in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

After handing out the jade tokens, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Huang Wen Jing who stood at the side. He nodded at her and said with a smile, “I’ll return the favor I owe you in the future…”

Huang Wen Jing felt conflicted and sorry for herself when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. Must he act as though they were strangers? However, she could only nod in response even if she was upset. The people in the surroundings looked at her enviously but she only ignored it. She did not care about him returning the favor, she cared about him!

Duan Ling Tian looked at the eight leaders of the Three Palaces and Six Halls. He pointed at Huang Wen Jing and Huang Qi Ling as he said sternly, “These two people are my friends…”

“We’ll definitely take good care of your friends, master!” The Palace Master of Crimson Blaze Palace replied immediately.

It did not take long before Yuwen Hao Chen and the others followed suit.

Yuwen Hao Chen was most eager to comply with this request. After all, he was the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace. He was, naturally, happy knowing Huang Wen Jing and Huang Qi Ling, who were from the Wandering Saint Palace, would be cared for. Moreover, Huang Wen Jing was his favorite disciple. He would have treated her well even if Duan Ling Tian did not say anything.

“Huang Qi Ling is really lucky!”

“From today onward, Huang Qi Ling’s status in the Wandering Saint Palace would rise even higher than his father’s status!”

“Of course! After all, Lord Duan Ling Tian has specifically pointed Huang Qi Ling out as a friend. All the Palace Masters would definitely treat him well!”

“Indeed. Not all people have the same luck. Why am I not as lucky as them?”

The faces of the elders and disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace were green with envy when they looked at Huang Qi Ling. Since Huang Wen Jing was their palace master’s favorite disciple, they were used to her getting preferential treatment. It made no difference to them now that she was also given preferential treatment. However, Huang Qi Ling was a different matter completely. Although he was the son of a vice palace master in Wandering Saint Palace, his father was the weakest among all the vice palace masters. Moreover, he was not exceptionally talented or outstanding. For this reason, many disciples and elders dared to mock him openly, similar to those people Duan Ling Tian had killed previously. However, after today, no one would dare to offend Huang Qi Ling, and this included the leaders from the Three Palaces and Six Halls. Huang Qi Ling’s status had skyrocketed due to Duan Ling Tian. It was only natural that people were jealous of Huang Qi Ling.

Huang Qi Ling’s father, the weakest vice palace master in Wandering Saint Palace, laughed in joy as he looked at Huang Qi Ling. “Good! Good!” He was so happy that it seemed as though the person whom Duan Ling Tian pointed out as a friend was him, not his son. At this moment, he was extremely proud of his son.

Tears began to well in Huang Qi Ling’s eyes when he saw that Duan Ling Tian did not forget him. “Brother Ling Tian!”

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian stared at Yuwen Hao Chen as he pointed at an elder from Wandering Saint Palace. This elder was considered a traitor in the Wandering Saint Palace. “Apart from these two people, there’s also Peng Lai. He’s my first follower so you should know what to do…”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, Yuwen Hao Chen jolted and he said loudly “From today onward, Peng Lai is a Vice Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace. Seeing him is like seeing me. He should be paid the respect he deserves. Anyone who disrespects Vice Palace Master Peng will suffer my wrath!” His voice turned cold at the end. His voice caused shivers to run up many people’s spines. He was an Eminent Celestial after all.

As soon as Yuwen Hao Chen finished speaking, the Palace Master of Crimson Blaze Palace chimed in quickly, “Anyone who disrespects Vice Palace Master Peng will also be an enemy of the Crimson Blaze Palace!”

Since the Palace Master of Crimson Blaze Palace had spoken, the other leaders from the Three Palaces and Six Halls instantly spoke up as well.

Many elders from the Wandering Saint Palace looked at Peng Lai enviously.

“Master…” Although Peng Lai was disappointed his master did not plan to bring him to the Upper Province, he was touched that his master remembered to pave the way for him in the Lower Province. With his master’s words, he was no longer a nobody in the Wandering Saint Palace and the Human-Devil clan.

“Let’s go!” Duan Ling Tian said as he seemed to have teleported next to Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan. In just a blink of an eye, they disappeared into thin air.

“Farewell, master!” All the leaders said in unison as they sent Duan Ling Tian off.

“Farewell, Lord Duan Ling Tian!”

“Farewell, Lord Duan Ling Tian!”

The others followed suit as well and bade Duan Ling Tian farewell regardless if Duan Ling Tian heard them or not.

‘H-he left just like that?’ Huang Wen Jing’s beautiful eyes seemed to lose some of its sparkles when Duan Ling Tian left. Her heart felt empty as though she had lost something important.

Many people had this thought in their minds. ‘From now on, the Human-devil clan is owned by the Duans.’

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian did not stop as he brought Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan away from the Wandering Saint Palace and the Human-Devil Saint City. When he left the Human-Devil Saint City, he moved north as though he already had a destination in mind. A tense expression could be seen on his face as though he was plagued with countless thoughts as he made his journey north.

‘With my current strength, if I cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic, it’s not difficult for me to tear the void open… However, if I want to return to the Upper Province, I’ll have to find a place that links the Lower Province to the Upper Province. The most direct place is where the Inter-province Transportation Formation is located. Not only is it linked to the Upper Province, but it’s also linked to the Land of Exile.’ This was the reason Duan Ling Tian was heading north. It was where the old Inter-province Transportation Formation was located.

‘When I return to the Upper Province, it’s time for me to avenge Elder Huo!’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were filled with anger when he thought about this. His anger was directed at Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect. Previously, Elder Huo had sacrificed himself to save him, his wife, and his daughter by sending them to the Lower Province. He must avenge Elder Huo!

As soon as Duan Ling Tian figured out he was strong enough to tear a hole in the void and return to the Upper Province, his first thought was to kill Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, to avenge Elder Huo. After he had resolved the issue in the Human-Devil clan, he instantly decided to return to the Upper Province even though he still had many unfinished businesses in the Lower Province. After all, he had yet to find his parents, wife, son, and friends. Apart from that, he did not even try to contribute to the war between humans and the Devil Clans by killing as many powerhouses as he could now that he had gotten stronger.

‘Father and mother must have gone into hiding. It would be difficult for me to find them.’ For this reason, Duan Ling Tian had decided to use the manpower from the Human-Devil clan and ordered Yuwen Hao Chen and the others to search for his family. There was strength in numbers after all. Although he had gotten strong, he was still one person. In regards to this, it would be easier to find his family if he had many people looking for them. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack if he had to look for them alone.
