Chapter 3660: Make Peace

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian would never show mercy to those who tried to kill him so he was rather indifferent toward everything that was happening in front of him.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Tang Chun’s Divine Energy fused with his profundities swiftly, looking as though it was going to tear the void open. The energy was aimed at Zhong Si’s body.

Tang Chun’s eyes flashed with killing intent.

Duan Ling Tian, who was sitting at the side, could clearly feel Tang Chun’s killing intent as well. Hence, he had no doubt that the trio from the Zhong clan was going to die today.

However, just as Tang Chun was about to deal the killing blow, he suddenly restrained his Divine Energy and removed the profundities.

Thump!

The Divine Energy only sent Zhong Si crashing against the wall on the side of the room. After he landed, despite the blood trickling out of the corner of his mouth, a relieved smile could be seen on his face as he said, “Thank you, Elder Tang Chun, for showing mercy!”

Zhong Er’s eyes brightened immediately.

Following that, Tang Chun’s Divine Energy struck again. This time, its target was Zhong Ke Qi.

Zhong Ke Qi was thrown against the wall as well. Since his cultivation base was much lower, although Tang Chun had restrained his strength, Zhong Ke Qi was still severely injured. He spat out a mouthful of blood when he landed.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Er hurriedly rebuked his son, “Idiot, aren’t you going to thank Elder Tang Chun for sparing your life?”

Zhong Ke Qi was pulled back to his senses and hastily thanked Tang Chun. “Elder Tang Chun, thank you for sparing my life.”

Zhong Er, whose eyes shone with the joy of surviving a huge disaster, looked at Duan Ling Tian from the corner of his eyes. When Tang Chun suddenly restrained his strength, he knew the Zhong clan’s Grand Elder must have asked Tang Chun to spare them. Otherwise, based on Tang Chun’s earlier killing intent, Tang Chun would not have spared them.

Nevertheless, the joy of surviving quickly vanished when they remembered Duan Ling Tian. Even if they survived today, Duan Ling Tian would not let them off the hook. Chills ran up their spines when they thought about this.

Thump!

Zhong Er was also thrown against the wall. He ignored his injury and hurriedly thanked Tang Chun for sparing his life as well. At the same time, he hurriedly sent a message to his eldest brother, Zhong Da. “Brother, although we’re okay now, Duan Ling Tian definitely won’t let us go…”

Following that, Zhong Er informed Zhong Da about the things Zhong Si had told him earlier.

“What?!”

When Zhong Da learned that Duan Ling Tian was the young man whom everyone suspected was from a lord-rank, or possibly an emperor-rank, force, his expression changed drastically.

“How can this be?”

How did Duan Ling Tian, a student from the Hidden Fog Academy, become the young man from the auction?

“Are you mistaken? If he has such a powerful background, why would he join the Hidden Fog Academy or the Hidden Fog Sect?”

Zhong Er’s reply came swiftly. “I don’t know. Brother, what should I do now? I’ve already removed the Formations so he might have already told the force he belongs to about this matter. Why don’t we take the risk and ask the Grand Elder to speak to Elder Tang Chun so that Elder Tang Chun will turn a blind eye while we kill Duan Ling Tian? If he has yet to inform anyone from his force, we might be able to survive this!”

“No. It’s likely he has already informed his people about this matter,” Zhong Da refused Zhong Er without any hesitation. “You should beg for his forgiveness. It’s best we don’t make an enemy out of a person like him. As long as he forgives us, we’ll pay whatever price he demands of us. Let him know that no matter how ridiculous his demands are, we’ll do everything within our abilities to fulfill them.”

Then, Zhong Da said helplessly, “From now on, the Zhong clan can’t act against him at all!”

Although Zhong Da did not know which lord-rank or emperor-rank force Duan Ling Tian belonged to, there was no doubt Duan Ling Tian had a very close relationship with that teenage girl. Zhong Si’s confidant had been with the clan for a long time so there was no way he would have lied about that.

Most importantly, the beautiful woman, the Lord of Gods, had addressed the teenage girl as ‘Young Miss’. To have a Lord of God as a guardian, the teenage girl was likely the child of someone with a very high rank in a top lord-rank or emperor-rank force. Just a word from someone like that was enough to get the Zhong clan annihilated or banished from the Profound Energy Land.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression remained indifferent as he thought to himself, ‘I expected Elder Tang Chun to kill them, or at the very least, Zhong Si. I didn’t expect him to spare all of them.’

Duan Ling Tian could tell Tang Chun had forcefully restrained his strength at the very last moment. With that, it was not difficult to figure out that Tang Chun must have received a message from someone and decided to spare the trio from the Zhong clan.

After injuring the trio from the Zhong clan, Tang Chun sat down and looked at the trio as he said coldly, “For Zhong Tian Qing’s sake, I won’t kill you today. However, if you dare act like this again, I’ll kill you even if Zhong Tian Qing pleads for your lives.”

The trio hurriedly nodded and promised there would be no next time.

After that, Tang Chun looked at the trio and asked, “Apart from that, the three of you said you want to kill Duan Ling Tian on behalf of the Zhong clan, right?”

Zhong Si and Zhong Ke Qi were still in a daze, but Zhong Er hurriedly replied, “No, no, Elder Tang Chun, you must’ve misheard us. We… We have no intention of killing Duan Ling Tian. After all, the Zhong clan sees Young Master Duan as an honored guest.”

“Since that’s the case, why don’t you apologize to him?” Tang Chun asked.

With these words, Duan Ling Tian knew the Zhong clan would receive no further punishment for their actions today. He could only rely on himself if he wanted to seek revenge for today’s matter.

Duan Ling Tian did not resent Tang Chun for the choices Tang Chun made. After all, he had just met Tang Chun. Tang Chun was not obligated to help him. In fact, he felt that Tang Chun had already done his best by demanding the trio from the Zhong clan apologize to him.

Before Zhong Si and Zhong Ke Qi could apologize, Zhong Er cupped his fists together at Duan Ling Tian and said respectfully, “Young Master Duan, my eldest brother, the Clan Leader of the Zhong clan, asked me to convey a message to you. We’d like to compensate you for the misunderstandings between you and our clan. We’re willing to pay whatever price you demand as long as it’s within our ability.”

Zhong Ke Qi frowned. He did not understand why his father was being so respectful to Duan Ling Tian.

Even Tang Chun was stunned by Zhong Er’s words. He only asked them to apologize to Duan Ling Tian; he did not expect them to take the initiative to compensate Duan Ling Tian. Was the Zhong clan very wealthy?

In fact, Duan Ling Tian did not expect this as well. He thought it was strange that Zhong Si and the old man next to Zhong Si did not look surprised, but Zhong Ke Qi, on the contrary, looked surprised and confused.

At this moment, realization dawned on Duan Ling Tian. He finally remembered where he had seen the old man before. When he was in room nine in the Zhou clan’s auction house with Duan Qiao Yu, he remembered the old man had come with the staff from the Zhou clan to hand him the three divine pills.

He remembered the old man because, at that time, he thought it was strange that two people were sent to hand over the three divine pills. Usually, only one person would be sent. At that time, he did not think too deeply about it.

‘Zhong Si must have sent him to room nine at that time to investigate me since I outbid Zhong Si and embarrassed him.’

Duan Ling Tian knew Zhong Si was furious after he successfully bid for the three divine pills. At that time, many people had speculated he would pay the price for daring to bid against Zhong Si. However, after witnessing the beautiful woman’s strength and finding out the woman was in room nine with him, he knew Zhong Si had abandoned all thoughts of revenge.

Duan Ling Tian finally realized why the old man was staring at him intently earlier. The old man must have recognized him.

With this, he finally knew why the Zhong clan was behaving so humbly. Clearly, they were afraid of Duan Qiao Yu and were afraid to provoke him because of that.. After all, the old man had seen Duan Qiao Yu holding onto his arm and calling him ‘brother’ when he was in room nine.
