Although Duan Ling Tian had only met Zhao Lu, he felt comfortable around Zhao Lu. Moreover, Zhen Ping Fan had asked Zhao Lu to look after him, which showed Zhen Ping Fan’s trust in Zhao Lu.

Hence, coupled with his own judgment, Duan Ling Tian trusted Zhao Lu’s warning about Lan Xi Lin being vengeful and petty.

“Senior Ye…”

Thinking about Lan Xi Lin, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. He quickly sent a message to Ye Bei Yuan to remind Ye Bei Yuan to be careful of Lan Xi Lin even though he thought it was unlikely that Lan Xi Lin would act against Ye Bei Yuan and his disciple due to Zhen Ping Fan’s involvement. Nonetheless, it was always good to be cautious.

Duan Ling Tian decided to remind Ye Bei Yuan because he regarded Ye Bei Yuan as his savior. After all, he could not imagine what kind of danger he would have to face on the Realm Battlefield if Ye Bei Yuan did not help him. When he had just arrived on the Realm Battlefield, he was incredibly lucky since he did not meet many people that time. However, his luck naturally would not hold if he did not meet Ye Bei Yuan. After all, there would be more and more people close to the bases. He would need to enter the base no matter what to leave the Realm Battlefield. At that time, without Ye Bei Yuan, it was highly likely that he would die. After all, he had not even attained godhood at that time. Even the weakest person on the Realm Battlefield was a King of Gods. Even the weakest person on the Realm Battlefield could kill him at that time with just a flick of a finger.

“Brother Duan?” Ye Bei Yuan’s reply came swiftly. “Have you settled down in the Pure Yang Sect?”

“Yes, I have,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile.

“Did you join the Cloud Peak faction?” Ye Bei Yuan asked. Then, he sent another message saying, “I see that you have a good relationship with Elder Zhen and Elder Qin. Elder Zhen even helped me because of you. You must have joined the Cloud Peak faction.”

In fact, Ye Bei Yuan did not know much about the factions in the Pure Yang Sect. He only learned about them when he asked around after his disciple, Zuo Zhong Tang, was captured by Lan Xi Lin. He naturally found out that Lan Xi Lin was the young master of the Zheng Ming faction in the Pure Yang Sect. After all, the only Emperor of Gods in the Zheng Ming faction was Lan Xi Lin’s great-grandfather.

When Ye Bei Yuan learned about Lan Xi Lin’s background, he had fallen into despair. However, he still bit the bullet and risked his life to save his disciple. At that time, he was chased away by Lan Xi Lin. After that, he ran into Duan Ling Tian. He did not expect that the young man he had rescued on the Realm Battlefield would help him. He knew very well that if it were not for Duan Ling Tian, his disciple would have died.

“That’s right,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile, “Senior Ye, it seems like you’re quite familiar with the Pure Yang Sect. You even know about the Cloud Peak faction.”

Ye Bei Yuan sighed. “I only learned these things when I was trying to save my disciple.”

“Is he alright?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“He’s fine,” Ye Bei Yuan replied, “Speaking of which, it is all thanks to you. My disciple and I won’t be able to repay your kindness for the rest of our lives.”

“Senior Ye, you’re too polite. If it wasn’t for you, I might not have been able to get out of the Realm Battlefield alive,” Duan Ling Tian said. Then, without waiting for Ye Bei Yuan’s reply, he continued to say, “The reason I reached out to you is to remind you to be careful. If it’s possible, it’s best for you and your disciple to stay in the Glorious Heaven Sect. Don’t leave unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

This time, it took a while before Ye Bei Yuan replied. He asked, “Are you worried about Lan Xi Lin from the Zheng Ming faction seeking revenge from us?”

“Yes,” Duan Ling tian replied truthfully, “I heard that Lan Xi Lin is petty and vengeful. I’m worried he feels unwilling since Elder Zhen forced him to let your disciple go. He might secretly look for trouble with you.”

“Alright, I’ll be careful,” Ye Bei Yuan said solemnly upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. In fact, he had also heard that Lan Xi Lin was vengeful and petty when he had first asked around. However, since a Nirvanic Elder intervened, he did not think Lan Xi Lin would look for trouble with him again. However, after listening to Duan Ling Tian’s reminder, he felt that it was possible for Lan Xi Lin to act without Zhen Ping Fan’s knowledge.

“Brother Duan, thank you for your reminder,” Ye Bei Yuan said solemnly. If it were not for Duan Ling Tian’s reminder, he would have let his guard down completely.

“Senior Ye, you’re welcome,” Duan Ling Tian said.

Just when Duan Ling Tian thought that the conversation had ended, Ye Bei Yuan sent another message.

“Brother Duan, after I returned to the Glorious Heaven Sect, I heard about the prodigy from the Flying Dragon Sect who became a rudimentary Lord of Gods before even reaching 3,000 years old. He has the same name as you… Is it you?”

Ye Bei Yuan had just returned from the Realm Battlefield not too long ago so he was not privy to the current affairs in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Moreover, as soon as he came out, he found out that his disciple was in trouble. Hence, when he met Duan Ling Tian again, he could not help but wonder if the prodigy, Duan Ling Tian, from the Flying Dragon Sect he had vaguely heard about was the same person.

Duan Ling Tian answered honestly, “It’s me.”

“It’s really you!” Ye Bei Yuan was stunned. Although he had already suspected it, he was still stunned when his suspicion was confirmed. Previously, when they met, he was shocked when he found out that Duan Ling Tian had already become a Lord of Gods. After all, when he met Duan Ling Tian on the Realm Battlefield, Duan Ling Tian had not even attained godhood. Although he was shocked, he did not think too much of it; he assumed Duan Ling Tian was just an ordinary rudimentary Lord of Gods. However, he was even shocked now because this meant that Duan Ling Tian was a rudimentary Lord of Gods capable of killing two intermediate Lords of Gods!

Ye Bei Yuan was so stunned that he forgot to bid farewell to Duan Ling Tian.

‘He became a rudimentary Lord of Gods when not much time had passed since the time I met him when he had yet to attain godhood! Is there anyone like him in the Realms of Gods?’

Ye Bei Yuan could not calm down for a long time as he continued thinking to himself.

‘Less than 3,000 years old? Is he really less than 3,000 years old?’

Ye Bei Yuan thought that it was likely that Duan Ling Tian was younger. After all, there were pills that could hide one’s bone age.

…

In a remote place outside of the Pure Yang Sect’s estate.

Three figures hovered in the air; two in front and one in the back.

The figure standing at the back had a burly body. His figure seemed as sturdy as an iron tower. The figure belonged to an honest-looking middle-aged man. At this moment, he was looking to the left and right vigilantly.

The two figures in front stood shoulder to shoulder. One belonged to a young girl, and the other belonged to a beautiful woman.

At this moment, the young girl looked at the Pure Yang Sect’s estate reluctantly.

The beautiful woman standing next to the young girl sighed softly and said, “Young Miss, we should go.”

“Aunt Xuan, I want to see my brother,” the young girl said as she moved closer to the Pure Yang Sect’s estate.

“Young Miss, you can’t go any further. Otherwise, the people from the Pure Yang Sect will sense you,” the beautiful woman said with a slight frown. Despite her words, she followed after the young girl.

As soon as the beautiful woman’s voice fell, a powerful aura swept out from the Pure Yang Sect’s estate. In just a moment, a figure appeared in the distance. Then, the figure flashed and appeared in front of the young girl and beautiful woman in just a blink of an eye.

“Who are you? Did you come to spy on our Pure Yang Sect?”

The newcomer was an old man. A Spirit Void Elder’s identity token hung from his waist. A frown could be seen on his face as he stared at the young girl and beautiful woman in front of him. At the same time, his Divine Consciousness swept toward the duo. However, before his Divine Consciousness could go any closer, it was crushed by an invisible force.

“How dare you?!” A clear voice rang in the air as the burly middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of the young girl, shielding her behind him.

“Emperor of Gods?!”

The Spirit Void Elder’s expression changed drastically after his Divine Consciousness was shattered. His face was pale as he stared at the middle-aged man fearfully. After all, he was just an advanced Lord of Gods. An Emperor of Gods could easily kill him. He decisively sent a message to a Nirvanic Elder who supervised the patrolling teams.

‘An Emperor of Gods appeared outside our sect’s estate?’ The Nirvanic Elder did not waste time after receiving the message and appeared outside in just two breaths.

The Spirit Void Elder hurriedly bowed to the Nirvanic Elder as soon as he saw the Nirvanic Elder. “Greetings, senior granduncle.”

The Nirvanic Elder nodded expressionlessly. His eyes were fixed on the burly middle-aged man. He frowned slightly as he asked, “May I ask what business you have here?”

The Nirvanic Elder had heard about what happened. It was indeed rude of the Spirit Void Elder to try and probe them with his Divine Consciousness. Moreover, the trio did not do anything and was just standing outside of the Pure Yang Sect’s estate. They did not even extend their Divine Consciousness. For this reason, he was rather polite with his words.

The beautiful woman straightened her back and said indifferently, “What’s wrong? Are all the members of the Pure Yang Sect so domineering? Are we not even allowed to rest here for a moment?”
