Leng Ye extended his Divine Consciousness and shrouded the entire valley within it. Initially, he did not think he would find anything here just like the other places he had searched. However, in just a moment, his eyes lit up. He had discovered the aura of his target, Duan Ling Tian! A sinister grin appeared on his usually expressionless face. He sneered as he said, “I found him! I didn’t expect him to really survive! It’s good anyway; this means I can kill him with my own hands.”

Without waiting for the other a.s.sa.s.sin’s reply, Leng Ye descended in the valley like a goshawk. He kept his Divine Consciousness firmly shrouding the valley. He vowed he would not let Duan Ling Tian escape again even if Duan Ling Tian possessed another Wind Shadow Escape Talisman. However, he did not think it was likely Duan Ling Tian possessed another Wind Shadow Escape Talisman since the grade of the talisman Duan Ling Tian had used previously was rather high and rare.

“Duan Ling Tian!” Leng Ye called out loudly as he hovered in the air. His eyes were trained on one of the two caves at a corner of the valley. “Do you want to show yourself or do you want me to come in and look for you?” It was obvious he felt like he was a cat toying with a mouse.

“This voice…” Duan Ling Tian finally discovered Leng Ye’s presence when Leng Ye’s voice echoed in the cave. Based on the newcomer’s words, it was clear he had come with ill intentions. He was slightly curious since he found the person’s voice familiar. Soon enough, he figured out where he had heard this person’s voice before. With this discovery, his expression changed drastically.

“He’s the Nine Palaces Celestial King from the Blood Skull Gang who was waiting for me outside the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate!” At that time, Duan Ling Tian knew he would not be able to escape if it were not for the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman that was given to him by Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.

“Why is the a.s.sa.s.sin from the Blood Skull Gang here? How did he find out I’m here?” For the a.s.sa.s.sin to show up in this specific place in the Jade Emperor Heaven, Duan Ling Tian knew it could not be a coincidence. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly, “Did they follow me all the way to Ax Mountain? Even so, it should be impossible for them to find out I came to the Jade Emperor Heaven since Ling Jue Yun and I traveled here using the Transporting Formation…’

“Duan Ling Tian, who’s that? You have enemies even in the Jade Heaven Emperor?” Ling Jue Yun’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind at this moment.

Upon hearing Ling Jue Yun’s words, Duan Ling Tian could not help but smile wryly. He replied through Voice Transmission, “For me to have enemies here, I have to have the time to go out and stir up trouble, right? This person isn’t from the Jade Emperor Heaven. He’s also from the Spirit Overarching Heaven. In fact, he’s also from the Southern Heaven Territory.”

“He came all the way from the Spirit Overarching Heaven’s Southern Heaven Territory just for you?” Ling Jue Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. “How great is the animosity between both of you that he traveled so far just to find you? For him to be able to track you here, even if he followed you to Ax Mountain, he would have to obtain approval from the Profound Nether Mansion to be able to find out you came here. After all, without permission from the Profound Nether Mansion, no one would be able to investigate the Transporting Formation that we had traveled here with. What’s his ident.i.ty exactly?” His voice turned solemn at the end of his sentence.

“He’s an a.s.sa.s.sin from the Blood Skull Gang,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a wry smile on his face.

“An a.s.sa.s.sin from the Blood Skull Gang? One of the top a.s.sa.s.sin organizations in the Southern Heaven Territory?” Ling Jue Yun was taken aback. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would be targeted by the Blood Skull Gang. “Why are you being targeted? Who could have hired them to kill you? From what I know, it’s not easy to hire an a.s.sa.s.sin from the Blood Skull Gang… It’s…”

Duan Ling Tian interjected at this moment. “Let’s talk about it later. We need to think of a way to escape. This a.s.sa.s.sin is a Nine Palaces Celestial King!”

“A N-nine Palaces Celestial King? The Blood Skull Gang sent a Nine Palaces Celestial King to kill you?!” Ling Jue Yun exclaimed in shock and confusion. Why would the Blood Skull Gang send a Nine Palaces Celestial King just to kill a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial?

After a few moments, Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun emerged from their respective caves and hovered in the air.

“So that’s Duan Ling Tian?” The other a.s.sa.s.sin had arrived next to Leng Ye. His eyes found Duan Ling Tian immediately. After all, he had seen Duan Ling Tian’s portrait when he had accepted the mission.

“That’s right.” Leng Ye nodded. He looked at Duan Ling Tian with a cold smile on his face as he said, “Duan Ling Tian, previously, you escaped under my nose because of the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman that Sun Liang Peng gave you. I want to see how you’re going to escape this time!”

Duan Ling Tian met Leng Ye’s gaze and curiously asked, “How did you find me here?”

“Well, at this point, there’s no harm telling you about it. Our vice leader has connections in the Profound Nether Mansion and pulled some strings so we managed to investigate the Transporting Formation you used to come to Yan Mountain. Yan Mountain Mansion is rather vast. However, we heard about the reincarnated Celestial Emperor’s scheme of gathering peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials from various Devata Realms, including the Spirit Overarching Heaven, to sacrifice them to the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. With that, it’s not difficult to guess you must have been tricked by the reincarnated Celestial Emperor as well. Although he had used a Transportation Formation to send you away, there was no doubt the secret realm would be nearby. Therefore, we searched the area where you were last seen! Who knew I’d actually find you here.” It was obvious Leng Ye was certain of Duan Ling Tian’s death today for him to reveal this information. It was also due to his humiliation from Duan Ling Tian’s escape previously that prompted him to speak so much. He wanted to see the despair on Duan Ling Tian’s face before he killed Duan Ling Tian. Only with that would the humiliation and hatred he felt be resolved.

“No wonder.” Duan Ling Tian nodded after listening to Leng Ye’s explanation. Then, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the a.s.sa.s.sin next to Leng Ye and asked, “I’m curious, is the person next to you also a Nine Palaces Celestial King like you?”

The other a.s.sa.s.sin scoffed coldly before he replied, “How smart! You managed to guess my cultivation base. Although this is the first time we’ve met, I’ve heard a lot about you!”

‘Two Nine Palaces Celestial Kings!’ Ling Jue Yun’s heart thumped heavily upon hearing the other a.s.sa.s.sin’s words. He became even more curious; why would the Blood Skull Gang send such strong a.s.sa.s.sins to kill Duan Ling Tian? There must be a good reason behind this. The Blood Skull Gang would not waste their resources for no good reason, after all!

“Two Nine Palaces Celestial Kings from the infamous Blood Skull Gang came all the way to the Jade Emperor Heaven just for me! Even if I die today, it won’t be in vain,” Duan Ling Tian said. A smile appeared on his face as he continued to say, “However, I’m afraid the effort both of you had expended to come here would all be in vain.”

The two a.s.sa.s.sins were slightly taken aback by Duan Ling Tian’s words.

At the same time, a Celestial Talisman in Ling Jue Yun’s hand lit up in flames. The flame swiftly shrouded him at lightning speed. It was as though he had transformed into a human torch.

Boom!

The flame’s domineering aura rippled out into the surroundings, causing the a.s.sa.s.sins’ expressions to change drastically. Based on the flame’s aura, they could tell the Celestial Talisman Ling Jue Yun had used was extraordinary.

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

Ling Jue Yun mobilized his Celestial Origin Energy. Moments before his energy reached its peak, he shrouded Duan Ling Tian in his flames as well and both of them vanished into thin air in front of Leng Ye and the other a.s.sa.s.sin.

Ling Jue Yun had used an escape-type Celestial Talisman that was comparable to the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman that Duan Ling Tian had previously used. This meant that it was impossible for Leng Ye and the other a.s.sa.s.sin to catch up to Duan Ling Tian who had been whisked away by Ling Jue Yun.

The other a.s.sa.s.sin quickly withdrew his Celestial Origin Energy. Then, he looked at Leng Ye coldly, clearly displeased, as he said, “Leng Ye, he couldn’t have escaped if you’d just killed him without wasting so much time talking!”
