Chapter 4229 - 4229 Yun Teng Qiu
4229 Yun Teng Qiu
The Leader of the Yun clan knew that reconciliation was impossible after he learned that his son, Yun Qing Yan, had humiliated Duan Ling Tian and abducted Duan Ling Tian’s wife. The enmity was irreconcilable since Yun Qing Yan had trampled on Duan Ling Tian’s pride.
Unless the Yun clan abandoned Yun Qing Yan, there was no way for the Yun clan to distance itself from this enmity. Moreover, even if the clan abandoned Yun Qing Yan, there was no guarantee that it was enough to appease Duan Ling Tian’s anger. After all, the Yun clan was the source of Yun Qing Yan’s confidence and arrogance, which made Duan Ling Tian suffer great humiliation.
‘If the clan finds out about this matter, some of the members will definitely suggest that I abandon my son. I won’t abandon him no matter what,’ the Leader of the Yun clan thought to himself as his eyes shone with determination.
Although Yun Qing Yan was not his only son, Yun Qing Yan resembled him a lot and was the brightest among all his sons. Apart from that, Yun Qing Yan was also acknowledged as the heir of the clan. As such, it was impossible for him to abandon his son even if the other party his son offended was heaven-defyingly lucky. After all, the other party had yet to reach his full potential; there was still hope.
“Don’t tell anyone about what you just told me,” the Leader of the Yun clan said solemnly as he looked at Yun Qing Yan, “I’ll order the members to keep an eye out for this Duan Ling Tian. They’re to report to the sect and kill him if they find him. There’s no doubt that he’s heaven-defyingly lucky, but our Yun clan has existed for a long time and is protected by a supreme powerhouse. There’s no need for us to be afraid of him. However, just to be safe, it’s best for us to kill him before he reaches full maturity.”
Yun Qing Yan felt at ease after listening to his father’s words. However, he was still annoyed because the insignificant vermin from the past, whom he could crush with just a finger, had surpassed him. He truly regretted not killing Duan Ling Tian when he could. Alas, there was nothing he could do now.
Yun Qing Yan’s father could tell Yun Qing Yan was very bothered by this matter. He shook his head and said, “Everyone has their own destiny and luck. Although Duan Ling Tian’s heaven-defying luck helped him to achieve amazing feats, he comes from a lowly origin. You were born into a noble family, and your life has been very easy. Everything has its pros and cons. I’ll speak to our ancestor and ask him if he’s willing to let you cultivate with him. You should be grateful if the ancestor agrees to teach you a thing or two…”
Yun Qing Yan’s eyes brightened upon hearing these words.
The ancestor of the Yun clan was a legend whom Yun Qing Yan had yet to meet. The ancestor was a supreme powerhouse and the founder of the Yun clan.
‘If I’m able to cultivate with the ancestor, even if I can’t raise my cultivation base, at the very least, Duan Ling Tian won’t be able to lay a finger on me at all. If he dares to act against me, it’ll be easy for the ancestor to kill him with just a thought!’ Yun Qing Yan thought to himself, feeling very confident.
…
After the Leader of the Yun clan passed down his orders, everyone in the clan learned about Duan Ling Tian, the heaven-defyingly lucky advanced Emperor of Gods who was capable of killing ordinary intermediate Supreme Gods. He was not even 1,000 years old, but he had already comprehended the Sword Dao and the Mastery Dao to high levels and possessed all Five Divine Elements and a complete Divine Tree of Life in his Little World. There was no doubt that it was only a matter of time before he became a supreme powerhouse.
“This man holds a grudge against our Yun clan and intends to seek revenge. Members of the Yun clan are to search for him and kill him using every means possible. The Yun clan will be indebted to whoever manages to kill him and will definitely return the favor. I’ll also try to arrange for whoever succeeds to learn from the ancestor.”
It was not surprising that the order caused a commotion even among the high-ranking officials.
“Duan Ling Tian? This name sounds familiar…”
At the same time, an intermediate Supreme God, who had just returned to the clan’s estate, frowned. He had heard the name ‘Duan Ling Tian’ before. It took about a dozen breaths before he finally remembered where he had heard the name before.
He gasped as he thought to himself, ‘That’s it! I heard his name when I returned to my wife’s hometown in the Profound Energy Land! He’s a monstrous talent from the Myriad Laws Academy, a heavyweight supreme-rank force in the Profound Energy Land. It took him only three years to become an advanced Emperor of Gods from an advanced Lord of Gods! When he was an advanced Lord of Gods, he could already kill Emperors of Gods. Even so, I didn’t expect him to be able to kill ordinary intermediate Supreme Gods after becoming an advanced Emperor of Gods!’
Following that, the intermediate Supreme God quickly reported everything he knew about Duan Ling Tian to the Leader of the Yun clan.
…
The Leader of the Yun clan did not waste time and left for the Profound Energy Land immediately to verify if the Profound Energy Land’s Duan Ling Tian was the same person who wanted his son’s life. It was obvious that he took this matter very seriously, indicating that he was afraid of Duan Ling Tian. It was not difficult for him to learn about Duan Ling Tian’s journey in the Profound Energy Land and his heaven-defying feats. However, it seemed like no one knew that Duan Ling Tian possessed all Five Divine Elements and a complete Divine Tree of Life.
‘The Myriad Laws Academy… According to the ancestor, the academy is rather unique. It seems to be without the protection of a supreme powerhouse like prime supreme-rank forces, but that’s not the case at all. In the past, the prime supreme-rank forces in the Profound Energy Land tried to snatch things from the academy, but some supreme powerhouse intervened. There’s more than meets the eye with the academy. If it’s just an ordinary heavyweight supreme-rank force, I can just threaten it.’
The Leader of the Yun clan was wary of the Myriad Laws Academy, but it did not stop him from visiting Su Bi Lie, the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy.
“Su Bi Lie, the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy, greets Clan Leader Yun,” Su Bi Lie greeted the Leader of the Yun clan.
Su Bi Lie was rather taken aback by the sudden visit of the Leader of the Yun clan. After all, the other party was the leader of a prime supreme-rank force and one of the top advanced Supreme Gods in the Divine Offering Land. Apart from that, he was also puzzled. There was no connection between the Myriad Laws Academy and the Yun clan; what reason was there for the Leader of the Yun clan to visit him?
After a moment, Su Bi Lie asked, “Clan Leader Yun, I wonder what brings you to the Myriad Laws Academy?”
As soon as he asked this question, a thought suddenly appeared in Su Bi Lie’s mind.
‘Does it have something to do with Duan Ling Tian?’
Su Bi Lie recalled that a few prime supreme-rank forces in the Profound Energy Land had sent people over to visit him recently, trying to recruit Duan Ling Tian. As such, he wondered if the Leader of the Divine Offering Land’s Yun clan came to recruit Duan Ling Tian as well.
The Leader of the Yun clan looked at Su Bi Lie and said with a faint smile, “Academy Master Su, I came to ask for a favor. I wonder if you’re willing to help me…”
Upon hearing these words, Su Bi Lie felt that his speculation was right. His expression did not change as he replied, “Clan Leader Yun, I wonder what’s the favor? If it’s within my ability, I’ll naturally try to help you. It’s an honor to be acquainted with you, after all.”
Su Bi Lie remained polite. After all, although they were both advanced Supreme Gods, he was not sure he could withstand more than ten moves from the Leader of the Yun clan in a life-or-death battle.
The Leader of the Yun clan said with a smile, “Academy Master Su, I like how you don’t beat around the bush.” His eyes flashed as he continued to say, “Academy Master, I wonder if you can publicly expel Duan Ling Tian from the Myriad Laws Academy?”
Su Bi Lie was shocked by the Leader of the Yun clan’s request. He did not expect the other party to make such an outrageous request.
‘Does he plan to recruit Duan Ling Tian once I expel Duan Ling Tian from the academy? No, it doesn’t make sense. Whether I expel Duan Ling Tian or not, there are many prime supreme-rank forces waiting to recruit Duan Ling Tian in the Profound Energy Land. Why would Duan Ling Tian choose to join the Yun clan in the Divine Offering Land,’ Su Bi Lie thought to himself, perplexed.
Soon after, another thought popped up in Su Bi Lie’s mind. His eyes widened imperceptibly as he wondered inwardly, ‘Did Duan Ling Tian offend the Yun clan?’
Su Bi Lie quickly regained his composure before he bluntly asked, “Clan Leader Yun, did Duan Ling Tian offend your Yun clan?”
The Leader of the Yun clan only said, “I have to kill him.”
Su Bi Lie’s expression turned grim immediately. “Clan Leader Yun, don’t you think it’s inappropriate for you to make such a statement in front of me, the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy?”
The Leader of the Yun clan could sense Su Bi Lie’s resistance. He looked at Su Bi Lie meaningfully as he said, “Academy Master Su, do you think you’re a match for me?”
Following that, a terrifying energy surged out of the body of the Leader of the Yun clan. The void twisted and rippled before numerous hairline cracks appeared.
Su Bi Lie’s gaze turned frosty immediately. “Yun Teng Qiu, even if I’m no match for you, how dare you act so presumptuously in the Myriad Laws Academy!”
The void shook even more violently as Su Bi Lie’s energy surged into the surroundings.
In just a moment, the entire academy began to shake as well as energy surged into the sky from all directions like a tsunami. In just a blink of an eye, the Myriad Laws Academy’s Guarding Formation, which had lain dormant for many years, came to life.
Needless to say, this caused a huge commotion in the Myriad Laws Academy. Many members took to the sky to see what was going on.
“What’s happening?”
“Why is the academy’s Guarding Formation activated? Are we under attack?”
“This is the first time I’ve seen the academy’s Guarding Formation activated! Did a formidable enemy come to attack the academy?”
