War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 4487: Tourmaline Holy City in the Sacred Lightning Realm!

Liu Yi Fan and Lin Yun, the supreme powerhouses from the Valley Court and the Lin clan respectively, fled thousands of miles away after casting the Time and Space Escape Technique. The spatial disruption caused by Situ Lei did not hinder their escape at all. They were confident that Situ Lei would not be able to track them at all.

“Situ Lei has just entered the third level. If we join forces, there’s no need for us to fear him. However, we were truly in the wrong today. As such, we can’t risk exposing our identities lest we’re accused of bullying our juniors,” Liu Yi Fan said with a gloomy expression on his face.

Lin Yu nodded silently. He was aware of Liu Yi Fan’s stubborn pride and that this excuse was just to save Liu Yi Fan from embarrassment. He knew the reason Liu Yi Fan did not want their identities exposed; Liu Yi Fan was worried word would spread, and the advanced Supreme God, who was their target, would catch wind of this and ask the demi Saint protecting him to deal with them. It was not difficult to put two and two together after all.

!! In any case, it was bad for their identities to be revealed.

Even if they achieved their goals and obtained the supreme treasures, if their identities were revealed, it would be over for them. Just one level-four supreme powerhouse, who was close to becoming a demi Saint, was enough to kill them and annihilate their respective forces, let alone a demi Saint; a level-five supreme powerhouse. If their identities were exposed, they would definitely die, and their forces might even be completely eradicated.

“If we use the Time and Space Escape Technique, even a demi Saint can’t stop us from escaping,” Liu Yi Fan said confidently. After all, the escape technique was their best trump card. After a moment, he sighed and said, “What a pity… You expended so much energy to see what happened in the past, but in the end, we got the wrong person… Not only is it a waste of energy, but it was also a waste of time!”

“It can’t be helped,” Lin Yu said as he shook his head, feeling slightly helpless. After all, even with the information they had, it would not be easy to find the prodigious advanced Supreme God carrying the supreme treasure.

“In my opinion, when we search for our target, we should also observe the supreme powerhouses with the same goal as us… If we see any of them attacking a young man, we’ll seize the chance and swoop in at the last minute,” Liu Yi Fang said as his eyes flashed, “With our Time and Space Escape Technique, we don’t have to worry about fighting anyone under the realm of demi Saints. The only important thing is to keep our identities hidden!” “You’re right. In any case, let’s continue searching,” Lin Yu said.

A flying ship rose into the sky and flew toward the Sacred Lightning Realm.

This was the fastest flying ship that Duan Ling Tian had ever been on.

The flying ship belonged to Situ Lei. When he had time, he would send some of his Divine Energy into the flying ship. As such, it was quite close to becoming a prime divine artifact.

Apart from that, Situ Lei did not control the flying ship; he left the task to his Divine Tree of Life instead, saving his energy.

Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to stop such a flying ship. It was clear that such a ship belonged to a supreme powerhouse. Put everything else aside, most people did not even have the speed to stop it. Even if one’s strength was close to that of a peerless top advanced Supreme God, unless one comprehended the law of wind as well, it would be difficult to catch up to the flying ship.

Since it was clear that the flying ship belonged to a supreme powerhouse, quite a few supreme powerhouses in the area bordering the Sacred Lightning Realm, who were looking for Duan Ling Tian and intending to snatch the Blissful Flower King and the Northern Nether Winter Cod from him, did not pay attention to the flying ship.

“Something’s up… There are so many supreme powerhouses here…” Situ Lei muttered to himself. He did not notice the abnormality until he was reminded by the Divine Tree of Life in his Little World. It could not be a coincidence that so many supreme powerhouses were in this area.

Situ Lei could not help but wonder if there was a fortuitous encounter in the area. Since there were so many supreme powerhouses around, it was obvious the fortuitous encounter would be useful to supreme powerhouses if his conjecture was right. As such, he quickly flew out and investigated the matter.

It did not take long for Situ Lei to learn about what happened. The people who had spoken to him were weaker than him so they had no choice but to tell him what he wanted to know.

‘A young prodigy with the protection of a demi Saint tricked Mount Tail s Zhong clan and the Winter Land’s Leng clan and obtained nine stalks of Blissful Flower Kings and three lord-grade Northern Nether Winter Cod?’

Situ Lei was also shocked when he heard about the supreme treasures. If it were not for the fact that he was a sectless cultivator with no descendants, he would have been tempted by these things as well. After all, these things were useless to supreme powerhouses. Their value to supreme powerhouses lay in their use for the supreme powerhouses’ descendants or to exchange for another treasure.

After investigating the matter and returning to the flying ship, Situ Lei said as he shook his head, “Those supreme powerhouses are looking for someone who’s carrying nine stalks of Blissful Flower Kings and three lord-grade

Northern Nether Winter Cod. No wonder they spent so much effort tracking the other party. Alas, it won’t be so easy for them to snatch those things away…”

Situ Lei did not hide anything from Duan Ling Tian at all and told Duan Ling Tian what he found out.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed briefly upon hearing these words. Then, he said, “This means that those two supreme powerhouses who blocked my path previously were looking for that person as well. They hid their identities because they were afraid of retribution. After all, it was said that that person has the protection of a demi Saint…”

Situ Lei nodded. “I would’ve forgotten about those two if you didn’t mention them. You’re right. They probably mistook you for that person…”

From the beginning until the end, Situ Lei did not suspect Duan Ling Tian at all. After all, he had found out that the person who was targeted was very close to becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God and was on par with Linghu Yun Di from the Divine Gateway’s Linghu clan, who was acknowledged as invincible among those below the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods in the Peaceful Might Realm.

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian asked tentatively, “Senior, are you interested in those things? If you are, you can go search for them. There’s no need for you to accompany me.”

Situ Lei shook his head and said, “Those things are useless to me. I don’t have anyone, and I can’t use them. I can only exchange things with them. However, it isn’t worth it. Even if I were successful, I’d be inevitably targeted by the others. It’s too risky. After weighing the pros and cons, I decided not to get involved in this matter.”

Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.

At the same time, Tan Xiu Teng, who was standing at the side and drenched in cold sweat, sighed inwardly as well.

During the journey, Situ Lei spent his time discussing the Sword Dao with

Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian did not hold back and told Situ Lei everything he knew.

Their discussion only stopped when Situ Lei’s flying ship outside the nearest city in the Sacred Lightning Realm, the Tourmaline Holy City.

Before they parted ways, Situ Lei said with a sigh, “Li Feng, I don’t have any Spirit Blood Essence to give you now. I can give you a few life-saving jade tokens to summon my projection, but that’s only enough to intimidate weak supreme powerhouses…

Duan Ling Tian could not refuse Situ Lei and ended up accepting three jade tokens from Situ Lei. The projection was naturally far weaker than the real person. At most, it was only as strong as a peerless top advanced Supreme God without any weapons or external aid; stronger peerless top advanced Supreme Gods could easily deal with it. The biggest use of the projection was not its strength but intimidation. If he faced a powerful supreme powerhouse or even supreme powerhouses who concealed their identities, the intimidation factor would be gone.

“Li Feng, when you’re in Tourmaline Holy City…”

Before leaving, Situ Lei briefly reminded Duan Ling Tian of some things to pay attention to and not to simply wander around in the city. He did not go into details. After all, some things could only be understood through experience.

After about 15 minutes, Situ Lei finally left.

Duan Ling Tian sighed emotionally. “Senior Situ is really an upright person…

Tan Xiu Teng nodded in agreement. “Senior Situ has the best reputation in the Divine Sant Realm. I’ve never heard anyone say anything bad about him. In fact, almost everyone who spoke about him only had praises for him…”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted as he asked Tan Xiu Teng, “By the way, if he knew I possess those things that the supreme powerhouses are looking for, do you think he’ll make a move against me?”

Tan Xiu Teng was slightly taken aback by this question. Then, he said with a smile, “I don’t think he would. However, even if the possibility is small, it’s best not to take such risks. If you’re wrong, you might die, after all.”

The human heart was the hardest to figure out after all.

Situ Lei’s reputation was indeed good, but who knew if it was true or not? Perhaps, Situ Lei had silenced those who knew about his bad deeds?

“That’s right. That’s the reason why I didn’t tell him the truth.. I couldn’t take that risk…” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod before he turned to look at the city up ahead and continued to say, “We’ll stay in Tourmaline Holy City for the next period of time…”
