War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“So, you must be my Little Junior Brother?”

As soon as he heard these words, Duan Ling Tian knew who the woman was immediately. She was none other than Xu Ya Si, Xu Lang’s daughter and eldest disciple. She was also one of the three Head Wardens in the Thousand Chains Prison and the Pavilion Master of the Life or Death Pavilion in the Thousand Chains Prison. He did not expect the Eldest Senior Sister whom he had never met before would make an appearance at this time, obstructing his path.

In the end, Duan Ling Tian could only smile wryly and said in a helpless tone, “Greetings, Eldest Senior Sister.”

At this moment, Li Xuan Tian, the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor, who had noticed Xu Ya Si’s arrival, said viciously with bright eyes, “Head Warden Xu, you came right on time! Kill them!”

However, Li Xuan Tian’s words seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.

Xu Ya Si looked at Duan Ling Tian as the corners of lips lifted into a slightly wicked smile. “Little Junior Brother, you’re really something. I don’t think anyone has done what you did today. In fact, even the Palace Master is incapable of breaking the Formations in the Thousand Chains Prison.”

Contrary to Duan Ling Tian’s expectations, Xu Si Ya did not reproach him. Instead, it seemed like she was having a casual conversation with him. He said, slightly embarrassed, “Eldest Senior Sister, I was just lucky my petty tricks worked…”

Although Xu Ya Si was Duan Ling Tian’s Eldest Senior Sister, she was also one of the three Head Wardens of the Thousand Chains Prison. Due to her status, it was impossible for her to let him leave. However, strangely, he did not detect any hostility from her.

“Well, your petty tricks are enough to show your capabilities,” Xu Ya Si said.

At this moment, Gu Chang Jiang, the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor, who had just deflected an attack from the Swirling Cloud Celestial Emperor, repositioned himself before he glanced at Xu Ya Si and said, “Head Warden Xu, are you going to be lenient to him because he’s your Little Junior Brother?”

Once again, it seemed as though Xu Ya Si did not hear the words of the titled Celestial Emperor. Instead, she looked at Duan Ling Tian expressionlessly and said, “Little Junior Brother, I’ll give you two options now. One, cooperate with me, send Lian Qiu back to the Thousand Chains Prison, and remain my Little Junior Brother. I guarantee no one in the Heavenly Pool Palace will dare to lay a hand on you. Second, sever your ties with your teacher and all your seniors, including me. I’ll allow you to leave now, but when we meet again, we’ll meet as enemies. Not only that, but I’ll begin to hunt you down in three days.” She spoke with such confidence that it was even rare among men.

“Eldest Senior Sister.” Duan Ling Tian smiled bitterly. “I have to rescue Senior Lian Qiu… However, I can’t choose the second option. As the saying goes, ‘Once a teacher, forever a teacher’. Moreover, I treat senior brothers and senior sisters like my family. Although this is our first meeting, you’re like my family as well.”

“After speaking so much, the conclusion is you insist on saving him?” Xu Ya Si asked in a faint voice as she glanced at Lian Qiu.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded resolutely.

Xu Ya Si stepped aside and said nonchalantly, “Alright. From today onward, you’re no longer my Little Junior Brother.”

“Whether you treat me as your Little Junior Brother or not, you’re still my Eldest Senior Sister. Teacher and the other seniors will always be family as well.” Duan Ling Tian looked at Xu Ya Si gratefully as he left with Lian Qiu.

Boom!

A loud boom suddenly rang in the air.

While Meng Chuan was slightly distracted, You Feng Yu had helped the others to break Pei Yuan Ji’s energy pillars that trapped Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor. He shouted, “Lei Ying, kill them! Xiao Tian, work with Xuan Tian to restrain Pei Yuan Ji!”

“Understood, Palace Master!”

Yang Xiao Tian and Li Xiao Tian joined forces to hold Pei Yuan Ji back as Lei Ying rushed toward Duan Ling Tian and Lian Qiu like a bolt of lightning.

Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian was prepared to cast the Godly Image Phenomenon of the Pine Willow Divine Tree with the help of the Five Divine Elements.

Swoosh!

To Duan Ling Tian’s surprise, Xu Ya Si appeared in front of Lei Ying, blocking Lei Ying’s path.

“Eldest Senior Sister…” Duan Ling Tian was stunned. Although Xu Ya Si had let him go, he did not expect her to step forward and help him.

“Xu Ya Si, what are you doing?” Lei Ying glared at Xu Ya Si. “I don’t care if you let him go earlier because he’s your junior brother. However, how dare you stop me from killing him after hearing the Palace Master’s orders? Do you have no regard for the Palace Master?”

Xu Ya Si said airily, “I’ll personally hunt them down and bring them back after three days.”

At this moment, You Feng You who had not spoken to Xu Ya Si finally said, “Xu Ya Si! I don’t blame you if you let him go because he’s your junior brother. However, don’t you think you’re crossing the line by stopping Lei Ying from carrying out her orders…”

“Palace Master, I’ve already said I’ll hunt them down after three days and bring them back…” Xu Ya Si did not waver even when faced with You Feng Yu.

Clearly displeased, You Feng Yu barked, “Xu Lang, control your daughter!”

“Palace Master, do you think she’d behave in this manner if I can control her?” Xu Lang smiled wryly.

You Feng Yu scoffed before he said, “Lei Ying, you don’t have to go soft on her since she’s asking for it.”

“Yes, Palace Master!” These words that Lei Ying had been waiting for. She sneered as she said to Xu Ya Si, “Xu Ya Si, I heard your strength is now comparable to a titled Celestial Emperor. Let me test how strong you’ve gotten. Let’s see how strong you are compared to your father.”

Lightning flashed around Lei Ying as her Celestial Origin Energy. In just a blink of an eye, she shot toward Xu Ya Si like a bolt of lightning.

Xu Ya Si snorted lightly. “Merciless Celestial Emperor, I’d like to see why your strength is ranked the same as my father in the Heavenly Pool Palace!” A dark energy surged out of her body, and in just an instant, the dark energy transformed into another Xu Ya Si. The only difference was the clone’s eyes were red. This was the Undead Doppelganger Profundity from the law of death.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Xu Ya Si’s doppelganger collided with Lei Ying. The black energy that shrouded the doppelganger suddenly morphed into a black energy sword before shooting toward Lei Ying.

At the same time, Lei Ying’s energy flashed in the sky and clashed with Xu Ya Si’s black energy sword.

Upon seeing this opening, Pei Yuan Ji shouted, “Duan Ling Tian, run!”

“Elder Senior Sister…” Duan Ling Tian did not leave immediately because he was concerned about Xu Ya Si’s safety.

Upon hearing Pei Yuan Ji’s reminder, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘Eldest Senior Sister seems to be on par with Lei Ying. Even if she’s not as strong as Lei Ying, Lei Ying wouldn’t kill her since Lei Ying would have to deal with teacher at that time.’

If Lei Ying killed Xu Ya Si, Xu Lang would definitely not let the matter slide. Even You Feng Yu would not be able to stop Xu Lang from seeking revenge. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian was certain Lei Ying would not dare to kill Xu Ya Si.

“Senior Lian Qiu, let’s teleport away!” Duan Ling Tian placed his hand on Lian Qiu’s shoulder, preparing to teleport away, when he felt a powerful energy trapping him in place.

“Who is it?!” Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed drastically as he looked at his surroundings warily. None of the titled Celestial Emperors present on the scene had comprehended the law of space. He could tell he was being restrained by the Restraining Profundity from the law of space. Regardless, the person who trapped him was definitely not a friend but a foe.

Swoosh!

Shortly after, an old man suddenly appeared at the periphery of his vision.

When Duan Ling Tian turned to look, he saw an old man wearing a long grey robe with curly hair falling on his back. The old man looked rather exotic.

At this moment, the old man looked at Duan Ling Tian and said with a hint of derision, “Boy, it won’t be easy for you to leave my Restraining Profundity.”

“Who are you?” Duan Ling Tian looked at the old man warily.

Before the old man could reply, Ma Chi, the Thunder Hurricane Celestial Emperor exclaimed, “The Soaring Celestial Emperor!”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened imperceptibly. He had previously heard his Sixth Senior Brother say that the Soaring Celestial Emperor was a subordinate of the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven.
