War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Lei Zhen Shan, who was standing at the side, watched with his mouth agape. Fortunately, he made the right decision earlier. Otherwise, he would have died as well.

‘Based on how confident the young man was, I had a feeling he’s not simple. Thank the heavens I seized the chance and severed ties with Lan Heng and the sect. After all, even if the young man failed to kill Lan Heng, I’m confident I’ll be able to escape from Lan Heng…’ Lei Zhen Shan had been dissatisfied with Lan Heng for a long time now. He just thought this was a good opportunity to cut off ties with Lan Heng. Moreover, he had a feeling Duan Ling Tian was stronger than he seemed to be. After all, the young man must be aware of Lan Heng’s strength before he confronted Lan Heng. For the young man to remain fearless, he must be confident he could defeat Lan Heng. If he was no match for Lan Heng, would he recklessly step forward? Obviously not. Nevertheless, he did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be so strong.

Lei Zhen Shan was even more shocked that Duan Ling Tian had learned how to fused profundities despite being a One Basic Celestial Emperor. He thought he was rather powerful, but even then, he only managed to comprehend all the profundities from the law of metal despite being a Two Forms Celestial Emperor. He was just beginning to learn how to fuse profundities. He had also noticed that Duan Ling Tian managed to combine a few dual fused profundities as well. With the sword that seemed stronger than an Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, it was no wonder Duan Ling Tian managed to overpower Lan Heng.

Lei Zhen Shan sighed in relief inwardly. He knew even if he joined forces with Lan Heng, they would not be able to defeat Duan Ling Tian. Once again, he felt lucky for making the right decision.

“S-sir…” Lan Heng’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper at this moment. Only fear was left in his eyes when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. “T-this is all my fault… Please don’t blame my grandson and the Cold Drizzle Sect…”

Lan Heng knew he would not be able to escape death today; he was no match for Duan Ling Tian at all.

Duan Ling Tian sneered. With a wave of his hand, he created a wind blade and slashed at Lan Ji Nian’s waist.

Lan Ji Nian screamed in horror, “Grandpa! Help me! I don’t want to die!”

Lan Heng’s eyes widened and said hurriedly. “Sir, please show mercy.”

Duan Ling Tian turned around and looked at Duan Si Ling, ignoring Lan Heng. His expression thawed, replaced by a loving smile as he asked, “Si Ling, do you want to kill them with your own hands?”

“Yes.” Duan Si Ling glared at the men that caused her beloved master to suffer and renounce the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect. She was aware of how much her master cherished the sect so it must have hurt her master to say those words. She felt guilty as well. If it were not for her, none of this would happen. Although she knew it was not her fault, she still could not but feel responsible.

“I’ll bring them to you.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. With a wave of his hand, he brought the severely mutilated Lan Heng and Lan Ji Nian over.

“Please show mercy! Please!” Lan Ji Nian begged, frightened out of his wits.

Meanwhile, despair flashed in Lan Heng’s eyes.

Whoosh!

Duan Si Ling lifted her hand and retrieved her sword. She brought the sword down, killing the two men whose strength had been depleted by her father.

“Father!” After killing the men, Duan Si Ling rushed into Duan Ling Tian’s arms and cried, venting the frustrations and sadness she had pent up.

Duan Ling Tian reached out and gently patted her back without saying anything. His love for his daughter was evident in his eyes. He had not seen his daughter in over 200 years. He thought he would have to wait another 700 years before he could see her again. Who knew she managed to escape from the Divine Offering Land and had been in the Solitary Destruction Heaven for over 100 years?

When he first met his daughter yesterday, he was ecstatic. As soon as he learned about the problem his daughter and Feng Tian Wu faced, he asked them to lead them here immediately. Although they had arrived in the morning, they only showed up at the end.

When the elders and disciples of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect regained their senses they began to whisper among themselves.

“I-is he really Duan Si Ling’s father?

“Heavens! Duan Si Ling’s father is a Celestial Emperor? Moreover, he seems much more powerful than ordinary Celestial Emperors!”

“How domineering.”

Most of the members of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect looked at Duan Ling Tian in awe.

How could they not be filled with admiration? Duan Ling Tian was too powerful; he easily overpowered Lan Heng, a Four Phenomenon Celestial Emperor and the strongest person in the second-grade Cold Drizzle Sect. They wondered if he was as powerful as a titled Celestial Emperor or if he was already titled Celestial Emperor.

Similarly, Yu Wen Qing and You Bai Feng were shocked as well. Although they had heard that the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven had accepted Duan Ling Tian as his disciple, they had no idea how strong he was… until now. His strength was beyond their imagination. Initially, they had thought they would need the support of those from the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven to intimidate the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect. As it turned, Duan Si Ling’s father alone was enough to deal with Lan Heng.

Duan Ling Tian patted Duan Si Ling’s head after she left his embrace. Following that, he called out, “Sect Leader Yu. In order to thank you for taking care of Si Ling, I should give you a gift.”

“You’re being too courteous. There’s no need for that. I’m sincere in taking care of Si Ling and don’t expect anything in return. After 100 years, I’ve already treated her like my daughter…” Yu Wen Qing said, refusing Duan Ling Tian.

“Sect Leader Yu, please don’t reject my gift. If you don’t, it will only benefit others.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head with a faint smile.

“Hm?” Yu Wen Qing was confused.

“Sect Leader Yu and Grand Elder You, would you like to follow me to the Cold Drizzle Sect?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a grin. Then, he said to Lei Zhen Shan who was standing quietly at the side indifferently, “I plan to go to the Cold Drizzle Sect. Do you want to lead the way…”

“It’d be my pleasure to do so,” Lei Zhen Shan said. At the same time, he thought to himself, ‘The Cold Drizzle Sect is ruined.”

Duan Ling Tian brought Duan Si Ling, Feng Tian Wu, Huan’er, and Little Gold with him as he followed Lei Zhen Shan.

At this time, realization also dawned on Yu Wen Qing, You Bai Feng, and those from the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect. They finally understood the ‘gift’ Duan Ling Tian mentioned.

The Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect was a second-grade sect that had a King Grade Celestial Vein in their estate. This meant the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy there was much better than that in the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect. After all, the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect only had a Duke Grade Celestial Crystal Vein.

“Is Duan Si Ling’s father really planning to annihilate the Cold Drizzle Sect?”

“So he plans to give us the Cold Drizzle Sect’s estate?”

“Heavens! What a terrifying gift!”

Nevertheless, their eyes brightened when they thought the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect was going to get a better estate. Under normal circumstances, they would not dare to accept the Cold Drizzle Sect’s estate even if it were freely given to them. After all, it would only attract trouble from greedy people. However, since it was given to them by a powerhouse like Duan Ling Tian, no one would dare to covet it. Who would want to incur the wrath of a powerhouse? As for those stronger than the Cold Drizzle Sect, they naturally did not care about the estate at all.

“I have said it earlier… I, Yu Wen Qing, have renounced the position of the Sect Leader of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect.” Yu Wen Qing’s expression darkened when she heard the discussion in the surroundings. Although she knew she was being selfish by intending to sacrifice so many people’s lives for one person, she was still angry at how they tried to push her favorite disciple out. How could they have the audacity to accept a gift from Duan Si Ling’s father? What a joke!

“It’s best that all of you stay here and guard the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect’s estate…” You Bai Feng said before she caught up with the others.

“Sect Leader!”

“Grand Elder!”

“Sect Leader, Grand Elder, what were we supposed to do under those circumstances? We were innocent. We don’t have to live in the Cold Drizzle Sect’s estate, but the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect can’t do without both of you!”

“That’s right!”

If Yu Wen Qing and You Bai Feng left the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect, the sect would fall into ruins. Let alone a fourth-grade sect, it would probably become a fifth-grade sect. In fact, they might not even be able to protect themselves.
