War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens - Chapter 2554
Chapter 2554 She Is Not Your Wife?!
“Master Wu Ji!”
“Master Wu Ji!”
The humans were feeling anxious at this moment while all the Devils present on the scene bowed respectfully at the old man who had just arrived, leading a group of eight people. For most of the Devils, this was their first time meeting the old man. Regardless, all of them saluted and greeted him when he arrived.
Although Wu Ji was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, it had to be said that he was very courageous for coming here. After all, not only was he about to face Duan Ling Tian, but he would be facing Duan Ling Tian’s wife who was extremely strong as well!
“Master Wu Ji!”
“Master Wu Ji!”
All the commotion from the Devils caused the humans to feel even more anxious. They were afraid this Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Devil Clans would indiscriminately kill them to vent his anger.

Suddenly, someone among the humans cried out, “He’s here! Duan Ling Tian’s here!”
All of the humans’ eyes brightened when they heard this. They began to look around their surroundings, hoping to catch a glimpse of Duan Ling Tian.
“There he is!”
“I see him! It’s Duan Ling Tian!”
Soon enough, the humans could see two figures coming from the west. One of them was a purple-clad young man. He had a good build, and he had a handsome appearance. Everyone was no stranger to this person. More than 90% of them had seen the portrait of this man.
A joyous and excited expression could be seen on the humans’ faces as they looked at Duan Ling Tian. Soon after, they shifted their attention to the beautiful woman next to Duan Ling Tian. They thought this must be the woman who had easily killed a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.
“Duan Ling Tian!”
“Is that Duan Ling Tian’s wife?”
“Of course! There’s only one woman beside him… Who else could it be?”
However, was that woman really Duan Ling Tian’s wife? Of course not.
Ke’er, Duan Ling Tian’s wife, the person who was capable of easily killing a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was no longer in the Saint Province Realm. In fact, she was not even in any Devata Realms. Currently, she was stuck in the Divine Offering Land. She would not be able to leave within 1,000 years.
“I’ve long heard from the dragon clan’s members that Duan Ling Tian’s wife is a peerless beauty. After seeing her, it seems like the rumors are true!”
“Indeed. Her beauty is peerless!”
“Such a beautiful lady. I’m afraid only a monstrous freak like Duan Ling Tian is worthy of her!”
“Well, that’s only in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint’s Land.”
The humans discussed among themselves as they stared at the woman next to Duan Ling Tian. Clearly, they had mistaken her for Ke’er, Duan Ling Tian’s wife. Although the woman next to him was extremely beautiful, she was not his wife. She was Tang Xiao Xiao who had followed him here from Yan Huang Realm.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Duan Ling Tian and Tang Xiao Xiao who were traveling side by side arrived near the humans and Devils in just a blink of an eye.
‘Is he the Devil Clans’ Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes fell on the person leading a group of eight people. It was not difficult for him to guess the other person’s identity. Moreover, the discussions in his surroundings gave away the old man’s identity as well.
Duan Ling Tian and Tang Xiao Xiao quickly moved to stand in the space between the humans and the Devils.
“You’re Duan Ling Tian?” The strongest Devil in the Devil Clans, the only Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the clan, had been looking at Duan Ling Tian from the moment Duan Ling Tian had arrived until now.
“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently with a nod.
“You issued a challenge to me a month ago. However, up until now, I still don’t know if I’ll be fighting you or your wife?” The old man said without beating around the bush as he glanced at Tang Xiao Xiao who was standing next to Duan Ling Tian. He did not dare to stare at her for too long, afraid that it would incur Duan Ling Tian and his wife’s anger. After all, he was aware that he was no match for Duan Ling Tian’s wife!
Before coming over, Wu Ji had a discussion with the seven Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the Devil Clans who were standing behind him. If Duan Ling Tian was his opponent, he would fight him. It would be fine even if the result was a draw. However, if his wife was his opponent, he would surrender immediately and promise to bring the Devil Clans away from the Saint Province Realm, back to the Exiled Realm. By doing this, he might be able to live and avert the crisis that might hit the Devil Clans.
“My wife?” Duan Ling Tian furrowed his brows slightly, stunned, when he heard the old man’s words.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Duan Ling Tian as well as they waited for his answer.
The human, naturally, hoped that Duan Ling Tian’s wife would fight while the Devils hoped that Duan Ling Tian would fight.
Meanwhile, Huang Qi Ling, a disciple for the Wandering Saint Palace in the Human-devil clan, who stood among the Devils were perplexed. The woman standing next to Duan Ling Tian was not his wife. He knew this very well since he had seen Duan Ling Tian’s wife before. “S-she… She doesn’t look like Brother Ling Tian’s wife.” Although this black-clad lady was as beautiful as Duan Ling Tian’s wife, there was no doubt she was not Duan Ling Tian’s wife. He was dumbfounded. “What’s happening?”
“T-this… This…” Huang Qi Ling was not the only one who was puzzled. Even Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, was confused. He had also seen Duan Ling Tian’s wife before so he knew the lady currently standing next to Duan Ling Tian was not Duan Ling Tian’s wife.
At this moment, the old man looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “It’s no secret in the Saint Province Realm that your wife is capable of easily killing a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. If your wife is my opponent today, I’ll surrender and lead my clansmen back to the Exiled Realm. However, if you decide to be my opponent, I will fight with you. Even if our fight ends in a draw, I’ll still leave the Saint Province Realm with my clansmen. Naturally, our decision is made based on your wife.”
Based on Wu Ji’s words, the Devil Clans would return to the Exiled Realm because of Duan Ling Tian’s wife, not Duan Ling Tian!
Duan Ling Tian was momentarily stunned. When he regained his senses, he began to laugh uncontrollably.
The old man frowned. “What are you laughing about?”
“I’m laughing at you… You’ve never seen my wife before so you’ve mistaken a random person as my wife.” When Duan Ling Tian finally stopped laughing, he said coldly, “This person next to me is only a friend, she’s not my wife. My wife is no longer in the mundane realm so she won’t be able to intervene with matters in the Saint Province Realm.” He felt a stab of pain in his chest when he spoke about Ke’er. He lamented inwardly, ‘Ke’er, must I really wait for 1,000 years before I can see you again?’
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Wu Ji, the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, lost his composure slightly. He quickly extended his Divine Consciousness and probed the woman standing next to Duan Ling Tian. Indeed. She was only an Eminent Celestial.
“What?!”
“S-she’s not your wife?!”
“Indeed, she’s not your wife,” Wu Ji finally said after confirming it with his Divine Consciousness. Previously, he did not probe Tang Xiao Xiao’s cultivation base with his Divine Consciousness since he thought she was Duan Ling Tian’s wife who was capable of killing Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials. He was afraid of offending her. However, once he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he quickly used his Divine Consciousness to verify Duan Ling Tian’s words.
The old man narrowed his eyes and said, “If what you said is true, I’m afraid with your strength alone, it’s not enough to defeat me and drive the Devil Clans away from the Saint Province Realm!”
Duan Ling Tian grinned upon hearing the old man’s words. A mocking smile appeared on Tang Xiao Xiao’s face as well. This old man is too arrogant.
“You are so confident that I won’t be able to defeat you?”
Meanwhile, the humans who were anticipating Duan Ling Tian’s wife to kill the old man were shocked.
“What?!”
“The black-clad woman isn’t Duan Ling Tian’s wife?”
“H-how is that possible? If she’s not his wife, who is she?”
“If she’s not his wife, why did he bring her here?”
