War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian was worried sick!

On the other hand, many people in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land were also almost driven mad by the anxiety by the thought of the Devil clans invading the Upper Province. They did not know if they would survive the invasion. At that time, hiding would be useless.

“If the Human-Devil Era dawns again, the devils will ran amok the Upper Province. Humans would be found regardless of where they hide.”

“Damn it! Why do devils even exist?”

“If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t know that Devil cultivators originated from the Devil Clans… The Devil clans during the Human-Devil Era are too terrifying!”

“I honestly hope these are just speculations and the Lower Province’s Inter-province Transportation Formations weren’t destroyed.”

Similar discussions could be heard all over Sin City.

As time passed, people began to relax a little even though they were still worried about the Devil clans invading the Upper Province. After all, the Devil clans had yet to invade the Upper Province and everything was pure speculation at this point. There was a chance the Inter-province Transportation Formations in the Lower Province were not destroyed and merely encountered a problem. Naturally, even if the speculations were true, there was nothing they could do now. They could only wait.

‘It’s useless to worry about it now. I can only hope it’s all just baseless speculations.’ Duan Ling Tian silently prayed in his heart as he returned to Sin City. He began to calm down as well.

As time went by, the atmosphere in Sin City began to change as well. People were no longer as anxious.

However, with the influx of people from various major forces caused the atmosphere in Sin City to turn tense again. These people from the major forces had come to Sin City to collect all sorts of resources. The reason was obvious. They had come to prepare for the Devil clans’ invasions. With enough preparation, they could defend their estate when the Devil Clans invade. If they stocked up on resources, there was one less thing for them to worry about while they fought the devils.

This was currently the best solution.

“Recently, quite a number of people from the Black Kshetra Sect came to collect resources in Sin City. I heard they’re offering double the price offered by ordinary forces.”

“Other forces also followed suit and increased their price… However, not many people are willing to sell even with the price increase.”

“Obviously. Although it’s not certain the Devil clans would invade, it would be much better to be prepared for it. At such a time, only idiots would sell their resources.”

Many patrons were gossiping in a restaurant in Sin City.

Based on their words, it could be seen they despised the actions of the major forces like Black Kshetra Sect.

Duan Ling Tian was seated near the window of the restaurant as he listened to the conversations in his surroundings. He narrowed his eyes that were gleaming coldly when he heard people mentioned the Black Kshetra Sect. He was instantly reminded of the time when Xie Zong, an elder from Black Kshetra Sect, snatched his Devilseal Tablet away!

The world was indeed small!

“Speaking of the Black Kshetra Sect, I saw Black Kshetra Sect’s Elder Xie Zong earlier in the city!”

Duan Ling Tian heard one of the patron’s words and his eyes narrowed again. His eyes were cold.

‘Xie Zong is in Sin City?’ At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt like he had seen his chance to seek revenge.

“Xie Zong? The son of the Golden Lion King, one of Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Kamapas?”

“Yes! That’s him!”

“Speaking of, he’s really lucky… I heard he managed to get his hands on the Devilseal Tablet from someone in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land not too long ago!”

“The Devilseal Tablet isn’t so special at that time since it’s only effective against Devil Cultivators… However, now that the Devil clans might invade the Upper Province, the Devilseal Tablet is going to be extremely useful. The Devilseal Tablet is even better at killing devils than ordinary Devil Cultivators!”

“If the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect uses the Devilseal Tablet, even a devil at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage wouldn’t be able to win!”

“If the Human-Devil Era dawns again, the Devilseal Tablet will be the most useful Super Saint Weapon among the Ten Great Saint Weapons! Even if it’s not ranked in the top three of the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking, it’s destined to shine during the Human-Devil Era!”

Soon after, the patrons in the restaurant changed their topic to the Devilseal Tablet that was one of the Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking. They spoke about it for a long time.

When Duan Ling Tian heard the patrons discussing the Devilseal Tablet, his expression turned extremely dark. The Devilseal Tablet originally belonged to him and Xie Zong had forcefully taken it away from him.

‘Xie Zong, since you left the Black Kshetra Sect and came to Sin City, don’t ever think about going back!’ Duan Ling Tian’s gaze turned colder. People would shudder if they saw the look in his eyes.

Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘I hope he still has the Devilseal Tablet with him… In that case, I’ll regain the Devilseal Tablet after I kill him!”

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian knew there was a slim chance that Xie Zong had the Devilseal Tablet with him. After all, the Devilseal Tablet was a Super Saint Weapon. Xie Zong would have probably given it to his father, one of Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Kamapas, when he returned to the Black Kshetra Sect!

The Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Kamapas shared the same fame as the three Guardians of the Fire Worship Sect. All of their cultivation bases were at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or higher.

‘Regardless if the Devilseal Tablet is with him or not, I must kill him since he came knocking on my door. Otherwise, I won’t be able to live with myself for getting Elder Ku and ten of our Azure Cloud Mansion’s Black Armor Guards killed!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as a hint of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian paid his bills and left the restaurant. After that, he began to investigate Xie Zong’s whereabouts.

After fifteen minutes, he did not find anything.

After thirty minutes, he still did not find anything.

Only after an hour had passed did Duan Ling Tian manage to find where Xie Zong was.

“Xie Zong’s already at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Moreover, there’s a Black Kshetra Sect elder at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage following him around. Although the elder would leave him alone occasionally, he didn’t go far…”

“If you act now and kill him, the Black Kshetra Sect elder at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage will kill you!” Elder Huo said to Duan Ling Tian, reminding him to not act recklessly.

Earlier, Duan Ling Tian had asked Elder Huo to investigate the cultivation bases of Xie Zong and the man near him. He could hear the eagerness in Duan Ling Tian’s voice when he spoke about killing Xie Zong. It seemed as though Duan Ling Tian could not even wait a second longer to kill Xie Zong.

“It’s better for you to wait for the right opportunity… Wait for them to be further apart before you attack,” Elder Huo continued to say as though he was afraid Duan Ling Tian would impulsively rush forward and kill Xie Zong.

“Don’t worry, Elder Huo. Xie Zong isn’t worthy for me to lose my life over!” Duan Ling Tian responded immediately. His heart felt warm when he heard the concern in Elder Huo’s voice.

‘Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage… Apart from that, from what Elder Huo said, he has just broken through to the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?’ Duan Ling Tian sneered. ‘Xie Zong, it seems like you didn’t improve at all. Perhaps, it didn’t even cross your mind that someone whom you used to treat like an ant is already strong enough to kill you with just one move!’

Duan Ling Tian meant what he said to Elder Huo. Xie Zong was not worthy for him to lose his life over.

However, two hours had passed, and Duan Ling Tian was feeling more and more frustrated as he watched Xie Zong and the Black Kshetra Sect elder went to buy resources. All this while, they were never too far from each other.

“Every time Xie Zong moves a little further away, the Black Kshetra Sect elder would, intentionally or unintentionally, draw closer to him again. He must be subconsciously protecting Xie Zong!” Duan Ling Tian was certain of this.

‘It’s pointless to wait. It’s time I make a move!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was not so reckless as to directly rush toward Xie Zong and attack him. If he had done that, he might be able to kill Xie Zong with a move, but it would be nigh impossible for him to escape from the Black Kshetra Sect elder who was at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage after that.

Put aside the fact that Duan Ling Tian would have exhausted all his Sun Saint Energy wielding the Jasper Celestial to kill Xie Zong with one move, even if he still had plenty of Sun Saint Energy, he was no match for the Black Kshetra Sect elder who was at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

Duan Ling Tian could kill Xie Zong with one move. Similarly, the Black Kshetra Sect elder could also kill him with one move!

‘I need a plan to lure the Black Kshetra Sect elder away… Otherwise, I need to think of a way to get Xie Zong to willingly leave the elder’s side. That’ll give me the perfect opportunity to kill him!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he tried to come up with a plan.

‘That’s it!”

As the saying went, ‘Good things come to those who wait!’

After about fifteen minutes, Duan Ling Tian finally came up with a good plan.
