Chapter 3678: If We Can’t Have Duan Ling Tian, Kill Him!
Tu Feng was naturally reluctant to invite Duan Ling Tian over to see his master. However, he did not dare to disobey his master even though it had crossed his mind more than once to lie to his master, saying that Duan Ling Tian refused the invitation.
Although Tu Feng and his master, Wu Feng Yin, were both Kings of Gods, Tu Feng was just a rudimentary King of Gods while his master was one of the stronger advanced Kings of Gods in the Hidden Fog Sect. Let alone a rudimentary King of Gods like him, his master could even kill an ordinary advanced King of Gods.
Apart from that, Tu Feng was very familiar with Wu Feng Yin’s temper. His master hated those who defied his orders the most. Hence, despite his reluctance, he could only obey his master.
However, when Tu Feng went to look for Duan Ling Tian, he discovered that Duan Ling Tian was in closed-door cultivation. Duan Ling Tian had also activated the Formations to block out disturbances using the Formation compass that was given by the Hidden Fog Sect, which would block out messages and Voice Transmissions as well.
When Tu Feng arrived, there were quite a number of people gathered near Duan Ling Tian’s residence. All of them had come with the same purpose as Tu Feng: they were there to invite Duan Ling Tian on behalf of their elders or masters who were keen on accepting Duan Ling Tian as a disciple.
At this time, a young man who had seen Tu Feng smiled mockingly as he said, “Tu Feng, didn’t Duan Ling Tian refuse you when you went to Skywind City’s Hidden Fog Academy previously? Why did you come again?”
The young man was one of the disciples of a high-ranking official of the Hidden Fog Sect. He was also an inner disciple who was a rudimentary King of Gods like Tu Feng. This was why he was not afraid of mocking Tu Feng.
“Xie Shao Feng, mind your own business!” Tu Feng, who was already in a bad mood, said as he glared at the young man.
Xie Shao Feng was amused by Tu Feng’s reaction and only chuckled in response.
At the same time, another young man said with a smile, “Tu Feng, it’s best if you leave. From what I heard, when Junior Brother Duan fought Qi Yu, he mentioned something about Qi Yu being your dog. It’s clear he knows that you sent Qi Yu to look for trouble with him. Do you really think he’ll accept your invitation with that?”
“That’s right!”
“Tu Feng, you better leave. Junior Brother Duan definitely won’t acknowledge the second elder as his master after what you did.”
Since the group of disciples were all rudimentary Kings of Gods, they naturally did not fear Tu Feng. Moreover, their masters or elders’ status was comparable to Tu Feng’s master.
Tu Feng’s expression changed drastically upon hearing these words. Did Qi Yu expose him to Duan Ling Tian? He shuddered. He could already imagine the outcome if his master found out about this matter.
After a moment, Tu Feng decided to leave. He knew it would only be a matter of time before his master summoned him to punish him.
Indeed, not long after Tu Feng left, he was summoned by his master, Wu Feng Yin.
…
In the backyard of a courtyard, Wu Feng Yin stood with his back facing Tu Feng. He placed his hands on his back as he looked at the illusory landscape of a pond in front of him. Then, he asked lightly, “Tu Feng, is it true that you sent Qi Yu to look for trouble with Duan Ling Tian?”
As soon as Wu Feng Yin finished speaking, Tu Feng fell to his knees immediately and said in a hoarse and indignant voice, “Master, I was only displeased that he refused to become your disciple. After all, he should feel honored. I was just angered that he refused you, master!”
“So, you’re saying it’s my fault then?” Wu Feng Yin asked as he turned around to look at Tu Feng with a faint smile on his face.
“That’s not what I meant!” Tu Feng lowered his head even more. “It’s all my fault offending Duan Ling Tian.
“Enough. Rise to your feet,” Wu Feng Yin said with a wave of his hand. At the same time, his expression eased as well.
“Thank you, master!” Tu Feng had been prepared to be punished by his master so he did not expect this at all.
After Tu Feng rose to his feet, Wu Feng Yin glanced at him and said, “Based on the current situation, it’s unlikely that Duan Ling Tian will agree to become my disciple, right?”
Tu Feng’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing these words. However, he nodded and said, “Yes, master.”
Tu Feng felt incredibly anxious at this time. Relief flooded his heart when he heard Wu Feng Yin’s next words.
“Since it’s impossible for him to become my disciple, and he’s already an enemy of yours, find a chance to get rid of him for good,” Wu Feng Yin said tonelessly, “It’s better for someone like him to die now. Otherwise, it’d be a walk in the park for him to kill you once he grows stronger. As your master, how can I not do anything? Moreover, since he’s your enemy, he naturally won’t have a good impression of me as well. This means that he’s also a threat to me. Make sure you kill him before he becomes a King of Gods to avoid future troubles.”
Tu Feng’s eyes brightened as soon as he heard his master’s words. “Yes, master!”
This was a dream come true for Tu Feng. Not only was he not punished, but his master had even told him to kill Duan Ling Tian.
Wu Feng Yin asked, “Are you confident about executing this task alone? If not, I’ll find another person to help you.”
“Master, that brat isn’t even a King of God. I can’t get rid of him without any help,” Tu Feng said as he shook his head. He knew his master would think less of him if he had agreed to let someone help him. After all, he was a rudimentary King of Gods. It should be easy for him to kill an advanced god.
“Very well. You may leave now,” Wu Feng Yin said with a nod.
“Yes, master.” Tu Feng bade farewell to Wu Feng Yin and left. He was already thinking of ways to get rid of Duan Ling Tian.
‘Since Duan Ling Tian hurried back to enter closed-door cultivation after the Heavenly Stairs Battle, it’s likely he’s preparing for the core disciples’ test. In any case, he’s doomed to fail the test. Even Elder Xue Hai Chuan barely passed the test 10,000 years ago despite comprehending two triple Fused Profundities from the law of death and possessing a bloodline power. Duan Ling Tian has only comprehended one triple Fused Profundity from the law of space, and the power of his rudimentary comprehension of the Sword Dao isn’t a match for the power of another triple Fused Profundity. Although I’m not sure if he possesses a bloodline power or not, it shouldn’t matter anyway. It’s not enough to make a difference.’
With this thought in mind, Tu Feng calmed down.
‘There isn’t any chance for me to make a move before the core disciples’ test. I’ll have to find a way to lure him out of the sect after the test.’
Tu Feng naturally did not dare to make a move on Duan Ling Tian in the Hidden Fog Sect. Apart from the Heavenly Stairs, most places in the sect were under surveillance that would be recorded. Even if he managed to kill Duan Ling Tian, he would definitely be found out and executed by the sect.
…
Duan Ling Tian finally emerged from his closed-door cultivation half a month later.
‘The effects of the five Auspicious Pills are truly shocking. Their efficacy is truly shocking and lasts for a long time. It only took me a day to absorb them and raise my cultivation base. Even my cultivation speed increased tremendously. I’m so close to breaking through and becoming a King of Gods that I think I only need three instead of four Auspicious Pills to break through.”
Due to his 99 Heavenly Veins, Duan Ling Tian had been surprised when he discovered that the efficacy of the Auspicious Pills was prolonged. After all, most of the inhabitants of Realms of Gods possessed more than 90 Heavenly Veins so he no longer had much of an advantage over his opponents in that regard. His speed when mobilizing his Divine Energy was not much faster than his opponents. For example, during his battle with Qi Yu, he discovered he was only slightly faster than Qi Yu in mobilizing Divine Energy. He did not expect his 99 Heavenly Veins to surprise him again after consuming five Auspicious Pills.
‘Now that half a month has passed, the rankings for the Heavenly Stairs Battle should’ve been released. I should rank first and receive the Auspicious Pill, barring any unforeseen circumstances.’
With that, Duan Ling Tian removed the Formations with just a thought. In just an instant, countless voices flooded into his ears immediately.
“I wonder when Duan Ling Tian is going to come out? My master told me to wait here until Duan Ling Tian comes out. I can’t leave until I see Duan Ling Tian.”
“He should be coming out soon. By the way, who do you think Duan Ling Tian would choose to become his master?”
“I don’t know. Since he refused the second elder, I don’t think he’ll accept anyone with the same status as the second elder.”
“It’s only normal for a prodigy like him to be picky..”
