Chapter 3843: Killing Duan Ling Tian

The white-clad young man attracted everyone’s attention as soon as he appeared near the entrance to the Imperial War Realm in the Tai Yi Sect’s estate.

“Isn’t that Senior Brother Long Xiang?”

“It’s him!”

“I thought he left our sect to join a top emperor-rank force long ago? I remember the high-ranking officials from that top emperor-rank force came to our sect at that time!”

“I really didn’t expect Senior Brother Long Xiang is still in our sect. What a pleasant surprise!”

“Is he going to enter the Imperial War Realm as well?”

“Obviously!”

“1,000 years ago, when Senior Brother Long Xiang was just an intermediate King of Gods, he was already peerless among those below the stage of a Lord of Gods. He defeated all the advanced Kings of Gods in our sect at that time. Now that he’s an advanced King of Gods himself, his strength must be even more terrifying now!”

The crowd’s eyes lit up as they looked at Ximen Long Xiang.

Ximen Long Xiang was the pride of the Tai Yi Sect, after all. He was the sect’s most talented prodigy. He was widely acknowledged to be the most likely candidate to become an Emperor of Gods. For unknown reasons, he disappeared 1,000 years ago, leading everyone to think he had left the Tai Yi Sect.

At this moment, a disciple approached Ximen Long Xiang and asked tentatively, “Senior Brother Ximen, a-are you going to enter the Imperial War Realm?”

Ximen Long Xiang did not look at the disciple as he replied, “I’m going to the King Battlefield to kill Duan Ling Tian.”

As soon as Ximen Long Xiang finished speaking, he entered the Imperial War Realm.

“Senior Brother Ximen is entering the Imperial War Realm because of Duan Ling Tian!”

“Duan Ling Tian was already very outstanding when he was an intermediate King of Gods. Now that he’s an advanced King of Gods, will Senior Brother Ximen be able to kill him?”

“I have faith in Senior Brother Ximen’s strength. After all, 1,000 years ago when he was still an intermediate King of Gods, he was already capable of defeating advanced Kings of Gods. Now that 1,000 years have passed, he must be an advanced King of Gods now. How can it be difficult for him to kill Duan Ling Tian?”

“I’ll have no regrets for the rest of my life if I can watch the battle between the two prodigies.”

“We can follow Senior Brother Ximen from afar! With that, we’d be safe even if we encounter the Kings of Gods from the Flying Dragon Sect. After all, Senior Brother Ximen won’t stand aside and do nothing if we’re attacked, right?”

“Good idea! Hurry up! Let’s follow him!”

Some of the Kings of Gods from the Tai Yi Sect hurriedly flew into the Imperial War Realm, hoping to follow Ximen Long Xiang.

…

Similarly, when the Kings of Gods from the Tai Yi Sect in Tai Yi City saw Ximen Long Xiang, they were shocked as well.

After listening to a few disciples, the others decided to follow Ximen Long Xiang into the King Battlefield as well. There were even disciples who disbanded just to follow Ximen Long Xiang.

“There’s no point in forming groups now that Senior Brother Ximen is going to the King Battlefield to kill Duan Ling Tian. Not only will we be safe if we follow him, but we might be able to watch a magnificent battle as well.”

“Heh, with the number of people following Senior Brother Ximen, we can form an extremely large team as well!”

“That’s right. With our number now, we can even take down Duan Ling Tian!”

“I agree!”

The Tai Yi Sect’s entrance to the King Battlefield became crowded in just a moment. Most of them were clamoring to enter the King Battlefield so they could follow Ximen Long Xiang.

Alas, all the disciples who intended to follow Ximen Long Xiang were greatly disappointed as soon as they entered the King Battlefield.

Ximen Long Xiang’s speed was so fast that he vanished before everyone’s eyes in just a moment. None of them could catch up to him at all. Apart from being disappointed, they were also shocked by his speed.

“Heavens! Senior Brother Ximen is really fast!”

“That’s only normal! He’s an advanced King of Gods now. Moreover, I’m sure his comprehension of the law of wind had improved tremendously as well. I couldn’t catch his movements at all earlier.”

“Me too! I only vaguely saw his figure when he flew away.”

“I dare say with Senior Brother Ximen’s current strength, no one in the Eastern Ridge Mansion below the stage of a Lord of Gods is a match for him!”

“The Flying Dragon Sect’s Duan Ling Tian is going to die!”

“I guess I should find my teammates since Senior Brother Ximen is nowhere to be seen.”

“Me too.”

Since they could not find Ximen Long Xiang, many of the stronger Kings of Gods left to look for their teammates to form a group again. They ignored the rudimentary Kings of Gods among them since the rudimentary Kings of Gods were too weak for them.

Needless to say, the rudimentary Kings of Gods did not say anything and could only leave as well.

…

At this time, the spy from the Flying Dragon Sect had also sent news from the Tai Yi Sect.

“Ximen Long Xiang has gone to the King Battlefield to kill Duan Ling Tian?”

Many of the high-ranking officials of the Flying Dragon Sect were worried about Duan Ling Tian when they received the news. Even Long Qing Chong, the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, could not help but frown.

“Ximen Long Xiang is still in the Tai Yi Sect? I thought he had left to join a top emperor-rank force. This is bad.”

Long Qing Chong took a deep breath. A hint of worry could be seen in his eyes. Duan Ling Tian was an important asset to the Flying Dragon Sect, whether or not he decided to leave the Flying Dragon Sect after the Imperial War. Initially, he had not been worried about Duan Ling Tian when he heard the Kings of Gods from the Tai Yi Sect had banded together to kill Duan Ling Tian. He grew even more confident when he heard that Duan Ling Tian had become an advanced King of Gods. After all, even if Duan Ling Tian could not kill his opponents, with his cultivation base, he could easily escape from them. However, now Ximen Long Xiang had appeared, he could not help but worry.

Ximen Long Xiang was a monstrous prodigy 1,000 years ago. In the past, Long Qing Chong had sent someone to the Tai Yi Sec to assassinate Ximen Long Xiao since Ximen Long Xiao would be a huge threat to the Flying Dragon Sect in the future. Alas, the assassination attempt failed.

“When Ximen Long Xiang was just an intermediate King of Gods 1,000 years ago, he could already defeat the advanced Kings of Gods in the Tai Yi Sect. After so many years have passed, there’s no doubt he has grown even stronger than before and became an advanced King of Gods.”

“He must have already heard about Duan Ling Tian’s feats, and yet, he still went to the King Battlefield to look for Duan Ling Tian. Clearly, he’s very confident about killing Duan Ling Tian.”

After listening to this, Long Qing Chong said, “Pass down my order. Try to contact the most outstanding Kings of Gods in our sect. Tell them to protect Duan Ling Tian at all costs and to escort him out of the King Battlefield. We can’t let Ximen Long Xiang kill him!”

In Long Qing Chong’s opinion, Duan Ling Tian was not someone who would forget the Flying Dragon Sect even if he joined another sect. Moreover, he had very good relationships with a few members of the Flying Dragon Sect. In fact, Xue Hai Chuan, who would mostly succeed Long Qing Chong to become the next Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, was very close to Duan Ling Tian. There was no way Duan Ling Tian would forget the Flying Dragon Sect after he rose to the top.

…

It did not take long before some of the outstanding inner disciples and Green Dragon Disciples received Long Qing Chong’s orders.

“XimenLong Xiang is still in the Tai Yi Sect?”

“We should stay together as we look for Duan Ling Tian in the King Battlefield. Who knows if we might run into Ximen Long Xiao? There’s safety in numbers.”

“That’s right. Ximen Long Xiang must have gotten even stronger now that 1,000 years have passed.”

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian, who was in the King Battlefield, was unaware of the commotion outside. At this time, he was exploring the King Battlefield. There was nothing special about it. There were a few ruins that were only illusions from Formations.

‘I wonder how vast the battlefield is? I’ve been wandering for a few days now, and yet, I’ve not encountered a single person.’

Duan Ling Tian flew across a mountain range, feeling bored. He had come to the King Battlefield to kill the Tai Yi Sect’s disciples, but up until now, he had not encountered anyone.

‘I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. With my declaration, those from the Tai Yi Sect would be even more cautious now. Now that they’ve formed groups, it’d be difficult for me to encounter lone Kings of Gods on the battlefield.”
