War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Joke?” Duan Ling Tian said in a faint voice. However, he did not bother to explain himself. He would prove his words with actions in the He Clan’s estate

As one of the Southern Heaven Territory’s top grade-five clans, the He Clan is located in a vast plain with densely distributed buildings. Based on the hustle and bustle, it was obvious that the clan was thriving.

When Duan Ling Tian and the others arrived near the entrance of the He Clan’s estate, they were stopped by the clan’s patrolling disciples.

“Who are you?”

Although the patrolling disciples stopped them, their attention was mostly on Huan’er. It was only natural since she was a peerless beauty.

The old man’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he said, “The Pavilion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion’s Imperial Tutor Pavilion is here with the Imperial Tutor to kill your clan leader!” With a wave of his hand, he killed all the patrolling disciples except for one.

The lone survivor paled and stammered, “C-celestial Lord!”

The lone survivor struggled to get up and quickly fled. Nevertheless, the old man did not kill him.

“Let’s wait here,” the old man said to Duan Ling Tian.

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He knew the clan leader would definitely show up after the old man made such a display.

About 15 minutes later…

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The sound of wind howling accompanied the arrival of a group of people from the He Clan.

The person in the lead was a burly middle-aged man. Behind him, there were six old men and four middle-aged men. At this moment, all of them were fiercely glaring at Duan Ling Tian and the others.

Although Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun were just standing, their extraordinary aura caused the group of people from the He Clan to be wary. They did not dare to act recklessly.

The aura of a Celestial Emperor would unwittingly put pressure on Celestial Lords. The stronger the Celestial Lords, the easier it was for them to sense the pressure. On the other hand, those below Celestial Lords would not be able to sense the pressure from the aura.

“Seniors, you aren’t from the Profound Nether Mansion, are you?” He Tian Chun, the Clan Leader of the He Clan, was an imposing middle-aged man. He was the person who killed the former Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion. He looked at Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun warily. After all, even the Southern Heaven Territory’s titled Celestial Lord did not have such an intimidating and dangerous aura.

At the same time, He Tian Chun had secretly sent a message to the ruler of the Southern Heaven Territory, the current Southern Heaven Celestial Lord.

The Ten Major Clans of the Southern Heaven Territory had connections with the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord, after all. Now that two people who were possibly as strong as Celestial Emperors had appeared at the He Clan, it was only natural that He Tian Chun reached out to the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord for advice.

“Don’t mind us,” Zhuge Yun looked at He Tian Chun and coldly said, “No matter the grievances between you and the Profound Nether Mansion, we will not interfere.”

“Hm?” Upon hearing Zhuge Yun’s words, the expression of the Pavilion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion’s Imperial Tutor Pavilion changed drastically. “Senior…”

“Both of you won’t interfere?” He Tian Chun asked skeptically. Since the two Celestial Emperors were here, was it really possible they would just stand aside and watch? Nevertheless, when he saw the reaction of the Pavilion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion’s Imperial Tutor Pavilion, his eyes brightened immediately. It seemed like it was true the two Celestial Emperors were only here to watch.

Feeling much more at ease, He Tian Chun finally shifted his attention to the old man. He asked in a deep voice, “You’re the Pavilion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion’s Imperial Tutor Pavilion.”

“That’s right.” The old man glared at He Tian Chun with hatred and fury burning in his eyes. “Not only am I the Pavilion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion’s Imperial Tutor Pavilion, but I’m also Chang Heng’s son!”

Chang Heng was the former Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion.

“Chang Heng?” He Tian Chun was briefly taken aback when he heard the name. Then, he nodded as realization dawned on him. “I see, so you’re Chang Heng’s son…”

The corners of He Tian Chun’s lips curved into a smirk as he continued to say, “Your mother was… amazing…”

Back then, He Tian Chun had violated the old man’s mother.

“You’re seeking death!” the old man cried out furiously. His Celestial Origin Energy erupted out of his body immediately.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two enemies began to fight. Round after round they fought before He Tian Chun quickly gained the upper hand and overpowered the old man.

“You’re quite strong. Unfortunately, you’re not as talented as your father, Chang Heng. If Chang Heng didn’t die, he would, at the very least, be a titled Celestial Lord now!” He Tian Chun said indifferently.

Meanwhile, the old man was seriously injured and blood was dripping from the corner of his lips, but he had no intention of giving up.

At this point, Duan Ling Tian stepped forward, shielding the old man. He looked at He Tian Chun expressionlessly as he said to the old man, “Senior, allow me.”

“Who are you?” He Tian Chun frowned slightly when he saw Duan Ling Tian.

“Duan Ling Tian, the current Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“Duan Ling Tian?” He Tian Chun was briefly confused. After a while, he said, “So you’re the Duan Ling Tian who performed brilliantly in the middle realm and the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm!”

He Tian Chun had heard about Duan Ling Tian, but he did not pay much attention to Duan Ling Tian since Duan Ling Tian was of the younger generation. Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian might be stronger than him in thousands or ten thousand years, but at this moment, he was certain Duan Ling Tian was no match for him.

“He’s Duan Ling Tian?”

The elders standing behind He Tian Chun looked at Duan Ling Tian curiously and began to whisper among themselves. After all, Duan Ling Tian was famous at that time.

“It’s said that he has left the Profound Nether Mansion, right?”

“That’s right! I heard the news from the Phantom Fox Clan.”

Swoosh!

The sound of wind whistled in the air before a skinny figure appeared before everyone.

In fact, before the figure appeared, Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun could be seen slightly raising one of their eyebrows.

The figure belonged to a skinny middle-aged man who was dressed in a luxurious silver robe. He was rather handsome and had a majestic air about him.

As soon as the skinny middle-aged man appeared, He Tian Chun quickly bowed. “Clan Leader He Tian Chun of the He Clan pays respect to the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord.”

“Greetings, Southern Heaven Celestial Lord!” the elders from the He Clan said in unison.

Even the Pavilion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion’s Imperial Tutor Pavilion greeted the skinny middle-aged man. “Greetings, Southern Heaven Celestial Lord.”

Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er only looked at the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord silently.

On the other hand, Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun did not even deign to look at the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord.

“Duan Ling Tian, now that the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord is here, why aren’t you greeting him?” He Tian Chun rebuked Duan Ling Tian.

“Him?” Duan Ling Tian glanced at the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord and shook his head. “He’s not qualified.”

He Tian Chun and the elders expected the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord would be angry and punish Duan Ling Tian. Instead, they saw him bowing at Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun respectfully.

“Greetings, Lord Celestial Emperors, I’m the Southern Heaven Territory’s titled Celestial Lord, Xiang Qin Yu.” As soon as Xiang Qin Yu saw the duo, he confirmed they were Celestial Emperors. Since he was much stronger than He Tian Chun, he was even more sensitive to the aura of a Celestial Emperor. Therefore, he had no doubts the duo was Celestial Emperors.

‘Lord Celestial Emperor?’

He Tian Chun and the elders’ expressions changed drastically as they watched the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord bow to Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun and address them as Celestial Emperors. They reacted quickly and greeted Zhuge Feng and Zhuge Yun. “Greetings, Lord Celestial Emperors!”

‘Why did two Celestial Emperors come with the people from the Profound Nether Mansion?’ He Tian Chun began to feel uneasy. Since they came together, they must have had some connections to the Celestial Emperors. However, one of the Celestial Emperors said they would not interfere. Celestial Emperors would not lie, would they?

Meanwhile, Zhuge Feng did not even bother responding to Xiang Qin Yu’s greeting while Zhuge Yun only looked at Xiang Qin Yun expressionlessly and nodded slightly.

“What happened?” Xiang Qin Yun, the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord, asked He Tian Chun through Voice Transmission with a slight frown on his face.

He Tian Chun recounted what had happened to Xiang Qin Yun immediately.

“Since they’ve said they won’t interfere, they definitely won’t interfere…” Xiang Qin Yun nodded. Then, he looked at the Pavilion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion’s Imperial Tutor Pavilion and asked, “Did you come to settle scores with He Tian Chun?”

The old man hesitated to answer the question. After all, if the Celestial Emperors did not intend to help him, there was no way he could defeat He Tian Chun.

Before the old man could reply, Duan Ling Tian said, “That’s right.” He continued to say indifferently as he looked at Xiang Qin Yun, “We came to kill Clan Leader He today. Those who are unrelated to this matter should step aside.”

“Impudent!” He Tian Chun exclaimed as he glared at Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian, not only are you disrespectful to the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord, but you even dare to act this way! Are you looking down on the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord?”
