War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Are you Duan Ling Tian?” Zhong Er asked. Then, he nodded as he continued to say, “You’re highly talented and have high comprehension skills. You’re handsome as well. If you’d joined our Zhong clan back then, both you and the clan would’ve benefited from it. What a pity that you rejected our invitation. Not only that, but you even killed the men from our clan.”

After a brief pause, Zhong Er asked slowly, “Any last words?”

When Zhong Er came in, he had used his Divine Consciousness to probe Duan Ling Tian and the old man next to him. After confirming Duan Ling Tian was just an intermediate god and the old man next to him was just an advanced god, he was no longer worried.

With the two Formations they had set up, let alone an intermediate god and an advanced god, even an advanced King of Gods would have a hard time communicating with the outside world. This meant that no one would find out the Zhong clan had killed the two people in the room.

“Last words?” Duan Ling Tian smiled. His eyes narrowed as he asked, “Who are you? The Clan Leader of the Zhong clan?”

Before Zhong Er could speak, his son, Zhong Ke Qi, scoffed. “Duan Ling Tian, he’s my father; Zhong Er, the Second Master of the Zhong clan. This person is Zhong Si, my fourth uncle and the Fourth Master of the Zhong clan.”

Duan Ling Tian looked at the two middle-aged men before he rested his eyes on Zhong Si. He smiled mockingly. He had already met Zhong Si a long time ago during the Zhou clan’s auction. He had bid against Zhong Si for the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Pills and won.

“Zhong Er? Zhong Si?” Tang Chun, who was seated next to Duan Ling Tian, sneered. “The Zhong clan is really brave, huh?”

Zhong Er and Zhong Si ignored Tang Chun. In their eyes, he was just Duan Ling Tian’s useless elder, an advanced god. They could easily kill a person like him.

Zhong Er had long become a King of Gods in his early years while Zhong Si had successfully broken through a few days ago and became a rudimentary King of Gods.

“So you’re the Second and Fourth Masters of the Zhong clan?” Duan Ling Tian smiled mockingly. “So is it just the both of you who wants to kill me or is it the clan’s intention as well?”

“I represent the Zhong clan,” Zhong Er said. Although Duan Ling Tian was calm, he did not think much of it. After all, he was certain everything was under his control. Hence, he acted without restraint.

At this moment, Zhong Si suddenly trembled. His expression was one of shock and panic when he looked at Duan Ling Tian again. His face turned pale as though he had just seen a ghost. This was because he had just received a Voice Transmission from the old man standing behind him. He finally realized Duan Ling Tian was the young man from room nine who had bid against him for the three divine pills during the Zhou clan’s auction.

At that time, Zhong Si had been furious that Duan Ling Tian had outbid him. He had been determined to seek revenge from Duan Ling Tian until the beautiful woman in room nine displayed the strength of a Lord of Gods. At that time, she even attacked the second elder of the 10,000 Devils Sect. The people in room nine were not people he could afford to offend.

Although he was not sure of Duan Ling Tian’s relationship with the beautiful woman and the teenage girl, according to the old man, the teenage girl seemed to have a very close relationship with Duan Ling Tian. When the two women left without the young man, all thoughts of revenge had vanished from his mind. Instead, he had wanted to foster a good relationship with Duan Ling Tian. Alas, Duan Ling Tian was nowhere to be found after the end of the Zhou clan’s auction.

Since the old man had seen Duan Ling Tian before, he thought he had an advantage compared to the others who were searching for Duan Ling Tian. Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, they still failed to find Duan Ling Tian.

He did not expect the genius student from the Hidden Fog Academy whom they had been trying to kill was the young man from room nine in the Zhou clan’s auction house.

He repeatedly confirmed with the old man through Voice Transmission that Duan Ling Tian was indeed the young man in room nine.

The old man’s reply remained the same. “I’m sure, Fourth Master. His face, his temperament, and his clothes… Everything is the same.”

Zhong Si felt chills running up his spine at this moment. When he saw the mocking smile on Duan Ling Tian’s face, he could not help but shiver.

At this time, Zhong Ke Qi, whose eyes shone with killing intent, said, “That’s enough, Duan Ling Tian. It’s time for you to die.”

Duan Ling Tian only looked at Zhong Ke Qi silently.

Suddenly, Tang Chun, who was seated next to Duan Ling Tia, rose to his feet with an icy expression on his face.

At the same time, Zhong Si was informing Zhong Er about his discovery. Zhong Er was naturally shocked and frightened.

“Zhong Si, are you sure?” Zhong Er asked.

“Brother, I’m sure it’s him. What should we do now? The Zhong clan and he are irreconcilable enemies now!”

“Just act like you don’t know anything,” Zhong Si said determinedly. His eyes narrowed as he said decisively, “He and the old man next to him are just intermediate and advanced gods. As long as we leave no traces behind, no one will know that we killed them.”

“Second Brother, Ke Qi’s friends are still here. They could tell he was behaving strangely earlier…” Zhong Si said.

“After killing these two people, we’ll kill the others to prevent news from leaking,” Zhong Er said viciously.

“Alright!” After listening to Zhong Er, Zhong Si’s eyes shone with determination.

Although Duan Ling Tian had a powerful background and was someone they could not afford to offend, now that things had escalated to this extent, they could not let him leave. Duan Ling Tian would definitely order his men to deal with the Zhong clan once he left.

Now, Duan Ling Tian was like a trapped beast in a cage they had set up. They had also blocked all means of communication. This meant he could not inform anyone from the force belonged to. With this, no one would know even if they killed him today.

This was the best choice. If they did not kill him now, the Zhong clan would definitely suffer a huge disaster. It was likely that the clan would be annihilated. Hence, it did not take them long to come to this decision.

While Zhong Er and Zhong Si stared at Duan Ling Tian, Tang Chun scoffed coldly and said, “Very good… The Zhong clan is truly bold! A mere king-rank clan dares to kill an inner disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect in front of me? Both of you and the Zhong clan must have a death wish.”

Tang Chun was well and truly enraged. He had come to Skywind City to bring Duan Ling Tian back to the Hidden Fog Sect after Murong Sui Feng recommended Duan Ling Tian to be a core disciple of the sect. Since he had yet to take the test, he was now an inner disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect.

“An inner disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect?”

Zhong Er and the others were stunned by Tang Chun’s words.

Meanwhile, Zhong Ke Qi said with a sneer, “Old geezer, you said Duan Ling Tian’s an inner disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect? Ridiculous! In any case, both of you will die today. No matter how talented or strong he is, he won’t be able to enter the Hidden Fog Sect once he’s dead.”

Zhong Ke Qi, Zhong Er, and Zhong Si remained confident.

On the other hand, the old man looked anxious and skeptical. After listening to Zhong Er and Zhong Si’s plan, he was still afraid. After all, the beautiful woman’s display of strength was still vivid in his mind. He, out of everyone present, was the only one who had been in close proximity with the people from room nine, and he knew how terrifying they were. He thought to himself uneasily, ‘After this, I better leave the Zhong clan…’

“Zhong clan really taught their disciples well. Even a junior dares to be presumptuous in front of me.” Tang Chun sneered. “Even Zhong Da has to bow to me when he sees me.”

Zhong Da was the Clan Leader of the Zhong clan.
