Chapter 3865: Leaving After Only Two Years?

A black-clad figure appeared in Xue Ming Zhi’s cultivation ground and asked bluntly, “Vice Sect Leader Xue, isn’t it time for you to fulfill your end of the promise?”

Xue Ming Zhi’s expression darkened as he said, “Did you play any dirty tricks without my knowledge? Did you remind Xue Hai Chuan to escort Duan Ling Tian to Revered Elder Sikong’s cultivation ground?”

Even to Xue Ming Zhi, Sikong Ye was a mysterious person. He only knew the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect had personally invited Sikong Ye to the sect and that the sect leader had a very good relationship with Sikong Ye. Since Sikong Ye was given the title of a Black Dragon Elder, he assumed Sikong Ye’s strength was like the other Black Dragon Elders. Nonetheless, if it was possible, he did not want to offend Sikong Ye. After all, Sikong Ye had the support of the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect.

The black-clad man asked frostily, “Vice Sect Leader Xue, why would I do that? I did as you asked, but you keep stalling for time. Are you going to go back on your words?”

Xue Ming Zhi scoffed before he finally brought a spatial ring out and handed it to the black-clad man.

The black-clad man claimed ownership over the spatial ring and checked its content before he laughed and said with a satisfied expression, “Thank you, Vice Sect Leader Xue. After today, we have nothing to do with each other just like before.”

Following that, the black-clad man left like the wind.

Shortly after the black-clad man left, Xue Ming Zhi sent a message to Kuang Tian Zheng.

“Duan Ling Tian is now in Revered Elder Sikong’s cultivation ground. I’ll let my men monitor that place. As soon as there’s no Lord of Gods around Duan Ling Tian, I’ll inform you immediately so you can kill him.”

“Then, I’ll wait to hear from you, Vice Sect Leader Xue,” Kuang Tian Zheng replied indifferently.

After replying to Xue Ming Zhi, a mocking smile appeared on Kuang Tian Zheng’s face as he said to himself, “Do you think Duan Ling Tian’s a fool? Based on the current situation, it’s clear he’s going to wait until he becomes a Lord of Gods before he comes out. With his talent in cultivation and the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill, I’m sure it won’t take him more than 100 years to become a Lord of Gods and stabilize his cultivation base. Moreover, he can also refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills that will be helpful to him.”

Kuang Tian Zheng knew that once Duan Ling Tian became a Lord of Gods, things would be extremely difficult. He was not sure if he would be able to kill Duan Ling Tian with one move at that time. If he did not kill Duan Ling Tian with one move, he would surely alert the others from the Flying Dragon Sect. At that time, he would be the one to die instead.

After staying in Sikong Ye’s cultivation ground for two months, a woman came to look for Duan Ling Tian. She was none other than Sikong Yue, Sikong Ye’s daughter.

Based on his conversation with Sikong Ye, Duan Ling Tian could tell Sikong Ye loved his only daughter very much.

When Sikong Yue met Duan Ling Tian, she was no longer as arrogant as she was before. In fact, a hint of joy could be seen in her eyes as she said, “Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t expect you to stay in my father’s cultivation ground.”

“Miss Sikong,” Duan Ling Tian greeted Sikong Yue with a smile. Then, he said, “I came here because Ding Yan arranged for me to stay in a safe place. I really have to thank Revered Elder Sikong for allowing me to stay here.”

“Ding Yan?” Sikong Yue was slightly stunned. Then, she shook her head and said, “Duan Ling Tian, the next time you need help, you don’t have to speak to Ding Yan. You can ask me for help, and I can speak to my father on your behalf. My father appreciates prodigies like you. Elder Xue is one of the prodigies he admires as well. Before you came, he admired Elder Xue the most in the Flying Dragon Sect. After you appeared, you stole the limelight from Elder Xue.”

“You flatter me. I don’t dare to compare myself with Brother Hai Chuan for now,” Duan Ling Tian said as he shook his head. Then, he asked bluntly, “Miss Sikong, is there anything I can help you with? Since Revered Elder Sikong is kind enough to let me stay here, I’ll help you to the best of my ability.”

“Really?” An expression of joy appeared on Sikong Yue’s face.

Before Sikong Yue could continue speaking, Duan Ling Tian said, “Except for matters regarding alchemy. After all, my alchemy skills are actually quite average. I’m only able to refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills so easily because I’m very sensitive to the vitality energy in the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. In fact, the divine alchemists in our sect are more skilled than I am. If Miss Sikong truly wants to study alchemy, I think the former sect leader is a good choice. With your father’s good relationship with the sect leader, I’m sure the sect leader will be able to get the former sect leader to teach you.”

Sikong Yue frowned immediately. “How did you know I was going to ask you to help me study alchemy? Did my father tell you about it?”

Duan Ling Tian remained silent.

Sikong Yue shook her head and said with a smile, “Duan Ling Tian, I’ve never studied alchemy before. I only need a teacher to help me with the basics; I don’t need an expert. I think you’re more than suitable for this.”

A hint of cunning flashed in Sikong Yue’s eyes. It was as though she felt like everything was under her control.

Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly. “I’m afraid that won’t do. I’ve been very busy with my cultivation lately, and I’m at a critical juncture now to break through and become a Lord of Gods. I’m afraid you’ll have to find another teacher.”

Sikong Yue’s expression soured immediately as she said, “Duan Ling Tian, if you want to refuse me, you can do it directly. There’s no need to give me excuses. How long has it been since you became an advanced King of Gods? Even I, who became an advanced Lord of Gods before you did, am not anywhere close to becoming a Lord of Gods. However, you say you’re at the critical juncture of breaking through and becoming a Lord of Gods? Do you think I’m a fool?”

After saying that, Sikong Yue turned around and left in a huff.

“Miss Sikong,” Duan Ling Tian called out.

Sikong Yue paused in her tracks, but she did not look back. A smile appeared on her face, replacing the angry expression on her face, because she thought Duan Ling Tian had changed his mind.

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was oblivious to Sikong Yue’s contradictory and ever-changing moods.

“What is it?” Sikong Yue. Her voice was clearly much softer than before.

Duan Ling Tian shrugged and said, “It’s nothing important. I just want to say that there are a few women occupying my heart, and there’s no place for another person.”

Under normal circumstances, Duan Ling Tian would not be so blunt. However, after Sikong Ye expressed that Duan Ling Tian should not lead his daughter on, he decided to be upfront. By doing this, he would be able to sever Sikong Yue’s hopes.

Sikong Yue’s body trembled upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. After a while, she turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and said icily, “Duan Ling Tian, I think you’re overthinking things. Did you think I asked you to be my teacher because I like you? You think too highly of yourself. I won’t fall in love with you even if you’re the last man alive.”

Without waiting for a reply, Sikong Yue flew away, feeling angry and embarrassed. The pain hidden in the depths of her eyes was not noticeable, and soon enough, they were replaced with determination. She had decisively ended her feelings for him before they could bloom.

After Sikong Yue left, a voice rang in the air.

“Thank you.”

It was none other than Sikong Ye. He did not appear as he continued to say, “I owe you a favor.”

After Sikong Ye left, Duan Ling Tian sighed. Then, he muttered to himself, “I should try to break through as soon as possible and become a Lord of Gods. After that, I can leave the protection of Revered Elder Sikong.”

After he rejected Sikong Yue, he felt slightly comfortable about staying in Sikong Ye’s cultivation ground and enjoying his protection.

Duan Ling Tian was unaware that Sikong Yue had entered the Imperial War Realm’s King Battlefield after she left. She wanted to vent her emotions by fighting on the battlefield.

After Duan Ling Tian obtained the last medicinal herbs promised by the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, he refined a pill before going into closed-door cultivation again.

Spring and autumn came and went as time flew by. In just a blink of an eye, two years had passed.

The battles in the Imperial War Realm had grown even more intense, and the death toll for the Kings of Gods and Lords of Gods was on the rise.

Without Duan Ling Tian and Ximen Long Xiang, the battles on the King Battlefield had become much fairer.

In a corner of the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.

“Duan Ling Tian has left Revered Elder Sikong’s cultivation ground! He’s now walking toward the entrance of the Imperial War Realm.”

Kuang Tian Zheng, who had yet to enter the Imperial War Realm due to Xue Ming Zhi’s order, finally received a message from Xue Ming Zhi. He hurriedly replied, “He’s out? Is he alone?”

Kuang Tian Zheng was surprised and confused. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to come out when only two years had passed.
