Zhu Mu Ci, Zhu Yuan, and Zhu Lie chuckled when they saw Yun Kun making his move.

At this moment, it seemed as though they could already see the scene of the young man being killed.

However, their smiles froze on their faces very soon.

Their chuckles and how their smiles froze happened in just a blink of an eye. Everything happened so fast that it was difficult for people to quickly return to their senses.

Their smiles had frozen on their faces because the scene that unfolded before their eyes was beyond their expectation.

Yun Kun furiously made his move. His body flashed, and his speed was so fast that it was even difficult for the three Zhu men to catch a trace of his movement. In no time at all, the faint sound of sword whistling in the air appeared fleetingly, and Yun Kun’s figure that had disappeared before their eyes materialized again. However, Yun Kun’s figure after he materialized was in a different state. To be more precise, Yun Kun’s body had been split in half completely.

After a while, blood began to pour unceasingly from his body.

“T-This…” Upon seeing this, Zhu Mu Ci and the other two were dumbfounded.

Yun Kun, who was invincible in their eyes was killed in just one move?

Meanwhile, Bai Li Hong sighed in relief when he saw Yun Kun had died. His eyes contained hints of shock as well when he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

His junior brother’s progress speed was so fast that he was almost getting immune to it now.

A powerhouse at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage had been killed by him with just a slash of a sword.

In other words, with the help from that powerful sword, his junior brother’s attack was comparable to an Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse!

Only an Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse would have the capability to kill Yun Kun who had reached the peak of the Refined Saint Stage with just one blow.

Yun Kun was a disciple from a quasi third-rate force. Apart from having a high cultivation base, his technique must have been powerful as well. Perhaps, he could not be considered as strong compared to Martial or Dao Cultivators who were all at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, but he was still stronger than many people.

However, such a person had just been killed by his junior brother.

He did not even know when his junior brother made his move. Heck, he did not even hear the sound of sword whistling in the air. It was only natural since its speed was so fast, coupled with his lower cultivation base, he did not hear it at all.

Bai Li Hong might not have heard the sound due to his low cultivation base, but Zhu Mu Ci and the other two whose cultivation base had reached the Refined Saint Stage had heard the sound. Zhu Mu Ci had the highest cultivation base so it was only natural for him to hear the sound the most clearly.

Due to this reason, all colors drained from his face as he watched Yun Kun’s body that had been completely severed into half fell from the sky. Zhu Mu Ci’s body began to tremble uncontrollably. It did not cross his mind that Yun Kun would die.

The moment he recalled how he had used Yun Kun to provoke the young man standing before him, his heart began to palpitate as well.

If God had given him another chance to redo this, he would not have dared to provoke this young man no matter how courageous he was.

‘Shit! It’s all Yun Kun’s fault! If he had not confidently told me he would be able to deal with this guy, I wouldn’t have provoked him!’ When Zhu Mu Ci thought of this, he clenched his teeth and looked at Yun Kun’s body in hatred.

“I can’t believe I can actually cast such a power attack with the Jasper Celestial Sword using my Sun True Energy. Yun Kun was still a disciple of that quasi third-rate force, Azure Cloud Mansion, no matter what. His cultivation base was even at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage, and yet, he was killed with just a strike of my sword,” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as he reached out to caress the Jasper Celestial Sword that was still shining its brilliant golden light.

Whoosh!

Like a cannonball that was shot out, he flew out and took Yun Kun’s Spatial Ring before his body flashed and appeared in front of Zhu Mu Ci, Zhu Yuan, and Zhu Lie.

At this moment, all three of their faces were extremely pale, and there were hints of terror and panic in their eyes.

When Duan Ling Tian saw the look in their eyes and their expressions, a sinister smile appeared on his face as he said mockingly, “What? Are you scared now?”

“Lord, I, Zhu Mu Ci, am wrong. I failed to recognize what an outstanding person you are! Please forgive me! With your strength, I’m sure the Devilseal Tablet will belong to you in the end… To think that Yun Kun actually thought he’s invincible just because he was the disciple of the quasi third-rate force, the Azure Cloud Mansion. Little did he know there’s such a reclusive and erudite person like you, Lord!” Zhu Mu Ci took a deep breath and resorted to flattering Duan Ling Tian.

At this moment, his majestic manner had completely disappeared. He was almost like a manservant by the side of the road.

Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie were stunned when they saw Zhu Mu Ci behaving in such a manner. This was their first time seeing their Imperial Uncle acting in this manner. It was as though he was a completely different person.

Little did they know that Zhu Mu Ci was extremely terrified at this moment.

If he had not mocked the young man earlier, perhaps, the young man would not bother with him. However, the problem was he had mocked the young man unreservedly earlier.

He knew very well if he was in that young man’s shoes, he would not have let him go so easily.

The truth was, after killing Yun Kun, Duan Ling Tian had no intention of harming Zhu Mu Ci and the other two. Besides, he did not even take the words Zhu Mu Ci had spoken seriously.

If a dog barked at oneself while one was walking on the roadside, one would not just kill the dog, right?

However, when he heard Zhu Mu Ci fawning over him now, a sense of disgust rose up in his heart. With a casual wave of his sword, the sword ray swept across the sky. Before Zhu Mu Ci even managed to react, he had already been killed by Duan Ling Tian.

Even Yun Kun who was at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage had died under his Jasper Celestial Sword, let alone a Martial Cultivator who was at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage.

Although he had only casually waved his sword, and its force was nowhere near comparable to the force he used to deal with Yun Kun, it was not something that Zhu Mu Ci could withstand.

Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie were horrified when they saw Zhu Mu Ci died. They cried out in sorrow, “Imperial Uncle!”

However, the two of them with reddened eyes did not dare to show any resentment at all. Who knew if this young man would kill them to solve the trouble if they had shown any resentment,

Although they really wanted to kill this man to satisfy themselves, they knew they did not possess the capability for now. At this moment, all they could do was try to not further infuriate the young man. Perhaps, they would be able to preserve their lives this way.

However, Duan Ling Tian did not have any intention of killing Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie at all.

Although it would be easy for the current him to kill Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie, both of them were among the few Refined Saint Stage powerhouses in the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family. If Zhu Mu Ci and the two of them died, the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family would definitely descend into chaos.

If the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family fell into chaos, complications and confusion would arise in the capital and the entire Windfall Nation would fall into chaos.

At that time, as the relatives of the Emperor, the Situ Clan, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, and his son might be implicated as well.

The Situ Clan was where his good friends were living in. Naturally, he did not wish for anything to happen to the Situ Clan. Due to this reason, he did not kill Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie.

“I must get the Devilseal Tablet! If I find out that your Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family makes another move on Duan Ling Tian’s companions again and alerts him, I’ll definitely kill all of you!” Duan Ling Tian glanced coldly Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie before vanishing into thin air in front of them.

As for Bai Li Hong, he did not plan to take him away with him.

His current identity had no relation with Bai Li Hong. There should not be any unnecessary interactions between them. Due to this reason, it was inconvenient for him to bring Bai Li Hong away with him.

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was certain even if he left Bai Li Hong behind, the Windfall Nation’s Emperor, Zhu Yuan, would not make things difficult for Bai Li Hong if he was smart.

As it turned out, the situation played out just as Duan Ling Tian had expected. Bai Li Hong left the Imperial Palace without any problems and returned to the Situ Clan.

A commotion erupted in the Situ Clan when they saw Bai Li Hong return after he was kidnapped by a revered elder from the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family two months ago. Everyone was certain it would be impossible for him to return ever again.

Bai Li Hong would either have to obediently be the exclusive Saint Inscription Master for the Windfall Nation’s Imperial family or die.

In their opinion, Bai Li Hong only had those two options.

It did not cross their minds that Bai Li Hong would return. This was like escaping after entering a tiger’s den.

“Master Bai Li!” The Clan Leader of Situ Clan and his son personally came out to welcome him when they found out Bai Li Hong had returned. Apart from being surprised, there was a hint of guilt in their expressions as well. They, Situ Hang, the Young Master of Situ Clan, in particular, felt guilty for being powerless to stop the people from the Imperial Family from taking Bai Li Hong away.

He still remembered before Master Duan left, he had especially asked him to take care of his friends.

When Bai Li Hong was taken away, he felt extremely guilty toward Master Duan. Moreover, he had even punished himself by kneeling while facing the wall for over a month. Now that he had seen with his own eyes that Bai Li Hong was safe and had returned to the Situ Clan, he heaved a sigh of relief.

However, after their surprise had faded, everyone in the Situ Clan, including the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, Situ Hao, was very curious about what had happened to Bai Li Hong.

In their opinion, it was impossible that the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family would let go of a Four Star Saint Inscription Master so easily.

This could be seen from how Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, who was severely injured when she went to the Imperial Palace to save Bai Li Hong.

“It was a powerhouse who saved me.” Naturally, Bai Li Hong could not tell them the truth. In fact, Duan Ling Tian had also reminded him about this previously.

“That powerhouse is interested in the Devilseal Tablet in my junior brother’s hands, but at the same time, he’s worried that I’d be tortured to death or something after being kidnapped by the people from the Imperial Palace. He was worried this would make Junior Brother more cautious and hide more carefully. Due to this reason, he saved me and warned the Windfall Nation’s Emperor to not even think of touching me again.” Upon hearing Bai Li Hong’s words, Situ Hao, Situ Hang, and the others were bewildered.

Was this even possible?

One of the Situ Clan’s elders mused, “What an eccentric powerhouse… However, it’s a good thing you encountered this powerhouse, Master Bai Li. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to return so fast.”

He would not be able to return so fast?

Bai Li Hong could not help but snort inwardly when he heard this elder of Situ Clan’s words.
