War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens Chapter 3404 - A Stalemate

Chapter 3404: A Stalemate

Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly. Then, he said solemnly, “Junior Uncle Tatoo, this might be a small matter to you, but it’s important to me. The sect matters to my mother, therefore, it matters to me as well…”

“Alright,” Tatoo said with a sigh, “Your mother is truly lucky to have a son like you. In any case, I’ll help you with this matter, but there’s no need to waste the promise I’ve given you on it…”

It was beneficial for Tatoo to have a connection with Duan Ling Tian, after all. If Duan Ling Tian used up the promise so quickly, he would lose all connections to Duan Ling Tian. He wanted to maintain a good relations.h.i.+p with the purple-clad young man in front of him. After all, the purple-clad young man was the only true disciple of Feng Qing Yang, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven!

“Thank you, Junior Uncle Tatoo.” Duan Ling Tian hurriedly expressed his grat.i.tude.

Tatoo did not waste time. He looked at s.h.i.+va Nu who was standing next to him and said, “Ah Nu, pa.s.s down my words. From now on, the Elegant Sect is under the protection of the Heavenly Palace of the Purple Revelation Heaven. Those who act against the sect will be considered as acting against the Heavenly Palace!” His eyes glinted coldly when he spoke.

“Understood, Lord Heavenly Emperor,” s.h.i.+va Nu responded before he left.

After s.h.i.+va Nu left, Tatoo invited Duan Ling Tian to stay for a few more days in hopes of bettering his relations.h.i.+p with Duan Ling Tian. However, Duan Ling Tian politely refused the invitation and said he had urgent matters to attend to.

Now that Duan Ling Tian had found his parents, his daughter, Feng Tian Wu, and Feng Wu Dao, he was even more eager to find the others. ‘Little Fei’er, Nian Tian, Xue Nai, and Junior Sister Mu Yi Yi’s Soul Pearls are all intact; I must find them soon…’

He felt even more worried about the others ever since he rescued his mother. After all, if he did not arrive in time, his mother would have died. He was afraid the others would be in similar situations like his mother, and he would arrive too late to save them.

Tatoo did not force the matter. He said with a smile, “I’ll summon someone to bring you to the transportation site in the palace…”

“In that case, I shall summon someone to bring you to the Transportation Formation which leads to the Solitary Destructive Heaven.” Tatoo said smilingly.

Soon after, a grey-clad old man with an extraordinary bearing appeared. It was clear he was someone important. When he smiled, he looked even more terrifying than if he were to frown. “Young Master Duan, Elder Huo, this way please…”

Duan Ling Tian bade farewell to Tatoo before he and Elder Huo followed the grey-clad old man.

Before they arrived at the transportation site, a figure rushed toward them. It was none other than s.h.i.+va Nu. “Young Master Duan, Elder Huo, you’re leaving so fast?”

“Senior s.h.i.+va Nu, I thought you’ve left for the Elegant Sect?” Duan Ling Tian was confused when he saw s.h.i.+va Nu. He a.s.sumed s.h.i.+va Nu had left to pa.s.s down Tatoo’s words.

“I was about to leave when it occurred to me that I didn’t know if you’re leaving or staying. If you decided to leave, I thought I’d send you off before I leave for the Elegant Sect…” s.h.i.+va Nu said with an amicable smile.

“I appreciate the thought, Senior s.h.i.+va Nu,” Duan Ling Tian said with a small smile, “However, there’s no need for that…”

“Don’t worry. It won’t take up much of my time; the transportation site is just up ahead…” s.h.i.+va Nu said. Then, he turned to say to the grey-clad old man, “Li Yu, I’ll accompany Young Master Duan and Elder Huo to the transportation site; you may take your leave now.”

“Understood, Lord Nu.” Although the grey-clad old man, Li Yu, was also a t.i.tled Celestial Emperor in the Heavenly Palace of the Purple Revelation Heaven, he was only slightly above average among his peers. How could he dare to disobey s.h.i.+va Nu who was the strongest t.i.tled Celestial Emperor under Tatoo?

After Li Yu left, s.h.i.+va Nu took over and led Duan Ling Tian and Elder Huo to the transportation site enthusiastically.

It did not take long before they arrived in front of a huge stone platform that contained the Transportation Formation.

Two old men stood guard over the Transportation Formation. They were merely ordinary Celestial Emperors. After all, it was impossible for t.i.tled Celestial Emperors to do such menial tasks. The duo greeted s.h.i.+va Nu as soon as they saw him, “Lord Nu!”

s.h.i.+va Nu nodded indifferently at the two old men. After that, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and Elder Huo. “Young Master Duan, Elder Huo, I hope we’ll have a chance to meet again.”

“Senior s.h.i.+va Nu, you can visit us at the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven when you have time,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. “However, I won’t be in the Solitary Destructive Heaven for some time due to certain matters. However, I’ll definitely return once I’ve dealt with everything.”

“You’re welcome to visit any time.” Elder Huo had also nodded at s.h.i.+va Nu.

“Alright.” s.h.i.+va Nu nodded and watched Duan Ling Tian and Elder Huo fly toward the stone platform.

Before Duan Ling Tian and Elder Huo landed, s.h.i.+va Nu suddenly called out, “Wait a minute!”

Duan Ling Tian and Elder Huo stopped in their tracks immediately.

Without waiting for Duan Ling Tian to speak, s.h.i.+va Nu said with a slight frown, “I just received a message from the Lord Heavenly Emperor…”

“Hm?” Duan Ling Tian and Elder Huo looked at s.h.i.+va Nu in confusion.

s.h.i.+va Nu flew up to the stone platform and said, “Elder Huo, the Lord Heavenly Emperor says he has a gift for Heavenly Emperor Feng Qing Yang. I said that I’ll fetch the item and pa.s.s it to you, but he said it’s inconvenient for me to do so. Do you mind collecting the item?”

“Hm?” Elder Huo frowned slightly; the matter was too sudden after all. What could Tatoo have for Feng Qing Yang?

“Elder Huo, just go,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “It’s not too far away. You’ll be done in a few minutes. Junior Uncle Tatoo seems nice; don’t make him wait…”

“Understood.” Elder Huo nodded before he transformed into a ball of flames and flew up into the sky, disappearing in just an instant.

As soon as Elder Huo left, s.h.i.+va Nu’s eyes flashed coldly.

Following that…

Bang! Bang!

Two loud explosions rang in the air. They came from the two old men who were guarding the Transportation Formation. Their bodies had exploded and were strangely emitting vitality energy.

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian discovered the two old men were already dead a long time ago. They were probably killed by the vitality energy.

A thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind instantly. ‘The law of life!’

Boom!

As an attack fell on Duan Ling Tian, a huge tree promptly shrouded him. However, the tree seemed to be under a huge pressure at this moment; it looked like it was on the verge of collapse.

Duan Ling Tian spat out a mouthful of blood before he said weakly, “Senior s.h.i.+va Nu, what are you doing? You won’t be able to get away with killing me! Let alone my master, even Heavenly Emperor Tatoo won’t let you off!” His voice grew weaker and weaker as he said, “I’m really curious. Why did you send Elder Huo away just to kill me? When did I offend you?”

s.h.i.+va Nu laughed heartily upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. “Duan Ling Tian, your response is really fast. I didn’t expect you to dodge my sneak attack. You’re right; s.h.i.+va Nu has no reason to kill you. There’s no enmity between both of you after all. Before you die, open up your eyes to see who I am!”

With that, s.h.i.+va Nu’s huge belly began to shrink. After a short moment, s.h.i.+va Nu had vanished. In his place stood s.h.i.+va Ping.

Duan Ling Tian was taken aback. s.h.i.+va Ping had left long before they entered the Heavenly Palace of the Purple Revelation Heaven. Moreover, he was surprised he did not sense s.h.i.+va Ping’s disguise at all. “I didn’t expect it to be you. Where did you learn the technique? And why do you want to kill me?”

“What do you think? Of course, it’s for the divine artifact in your possession,” s.h.i.+va Ping said with a sneer. Following that, Celestial Origin Energy boosted with the law of life swept out toward Duan Ling Tian. Then, he watched as he said, “Brat, if it weren’t because we’re running out of time, I would have made you suffer before killing you! Now, die!”
