War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens Chapter 3544 - A White Lie

Chapter 3544: A White Lie

“I should be safe now.”

When Duan Ling Tian was brought to the chaotic s.p.a.ce by the Five Divine Elements’ energy, he was like a small lonely boat in the middle of the sea during a storm. It was a rather nerve-wracking experience. He only heaved a sigh of relief after he entered another mundane realm through another tear in the void.

As for the Five Divine Elements, they had returned to Duan Ling Tian’s Little World after he safely arrived in the mundane realm.

“Although we possess higher forms now, destroying the soul of an intermediate G.o.d, setting up the formation, and traveling through s.p.a.ce have taken a toll on us. We’ll need to recuperate by going into a deep slumber for a while. Please be careful over the next period of time since we won’t be able to help when we’re deep in slumber,” the World Cleansing Divine Water said solemnly.

“I understand.” Duan Ling Tian’s expression was solemn as well. He knew he only managed to escape this time thanks to the Five Divine Elements. Without the Five Divine Elements, he would have died, and his body would have been possessed by another person.

‘Master should be fine, right?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he inhaled deeply. He wanted to return to the Solitary Destructive Heaven as soon as he could so he could try and contact his master. Moreover, previously, his master had said he would leave the Asura h.e.l.l after becoming a King of G.o.d. Now that his master had become a King of G.o.ds, perhaps, his master had already returned to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

…

As soon as Duan Ling Tian arrived in the Solitary Destructive Heaven, he sent a message to Feng Qing Yang. However, when he did not receive a response, he sent a message to Elder Huo instead.

Elder Huo was ecstatic upon receiving Duan Ling Tian’s message. He said, “I’m glad you’re fine, Young Master. Lord Heavenly Emperor has instructed Meng Luo and I to move your family and friends away from the Heavenly Palace. They’re now staying in the north of the Solitary Destructive Heaven…”

After receiving the coordinates from Elder Huo, Duan Ling Tian looked for his family and friends. When he saw his parents, Li Rou and Duan Ru Feng; his wife and children, Li Fei, Duan Nian Tian, and Duan Si Ling; and the others, he sighed in relief. Apart from being worried about his master’s safety, he had been worried about his family and friends as well. He finally felt more at ease after seeing that they were safe and sound.

Duan Ling Tian sent another message to Elder Huo after confirming his family and friends were safe. “Where’s my master? Why can’t I reach him?”

“Lord Heavenly Emperor said that he’s going to the Land of the Dead,” Elder Huo replied.

“Land of the Dead?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned. He knew the Phantom Clan was located in the Land of the Dead, and it was not difficult to figure out his master’s purpose of going to the Land of Dead. However, the Land of the Dead was one of the deadliest places in the Devata Realms. Although his master was now a King of G.o.ds, was his master strong enough to seek revenge from the Phantom Clan?

…

The Land of the Dead was not only one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms, but it was also the third deadliest place in the Devata Realms.

This was not Feng Qing Yang’s first trip to the Land of the Dead. Previously, he had come to explore this place, but this time, he came with a purpose.

“Phantom Clan.”

After searching for some time, Feng Qing Yang finally found the Phantom Clan. He did not go to the clan’s estate. Instead, he found someone to carry out a task for him. He had handed the person a Floating Image Pearl and told that person to hand the Floating Image Pearl to the Supreme Elders of the Phantom Clan.

…

When the Floating Image Pearl, which contained a shocking recording, arrived in the Phantom Clan, it was like a bomb had been dropped on the clan. The peace in the clan was instantly shattered.

“Mi Yan possessed a human’s body?!”

Upon seeing the recording in the Floating Image Pearl, the few Supreme Elders called for a meeting immediately.

“Not only is our current Clan Leader, Mi Xuan, aware of Miyan’s action and hiding it from us, but he also helped his brother to possess a human. Mi Xuan will now be removed from his positions as the Clan Leader. Apart from that, he’ll also be expelled from the clan…”

In fact, it was possible to fake recordings in Floating Image Pearls. However, the Supreme Elders of the Phantom Clan were advanced King of G.o.ds so they could tell with just a glance if the recording was fake or not. Needless to say, they were furious at the two brothers’ actions.

Many of the clan members were shocked by this news as well, and many of them shared the same views as the Supreme Elders of the clan. After all, since young, they were all taught that possessing a physical body was taboo.

…

After accomplis.h.i.+ng his mission in the Land of the Dead, Feng Qing Yang brought out Duan Ling Tian’s Soul Pearl. He heaved a sigh of relief immediately. “Little Tian is still alive.”

Although he had detonated his law of earth’s clone to buy Duan Ling Tian time so Duan Ling Tian could escape, he did not think Duan Ling Tian’s chances of escaping were high. In fact, he had already begun to plan how to avenge his disciple.

After leaving the Land of the Dead and arriving in the Solitary Destructive Heaven, Feng Qing Yang sent a message to Duan Ling Tian immediately.

“Master, I’m with Elder Huo.” Duan Ling Tian’s reply came swiftly. Then, he sent another message. “Master, Mi Xuan is probably tracking you now. I think it’ll be safer for you to stay in the Asura h.e.l.l for a period of time…”

Although Duan Ling Tian knew his master was highly talented, Mi Xuan was an intermediate King of G.o.ds who was skilled in soul attacks. It would be difficult for his master to defeat Ming Xuan at his current level.

“I’ll return to the Asura h.e.l.l now that I’ve confirmed you’re safe…” Feng Qing Yang said. Clearly, he had been very worried about Duan Ling Tian.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine,” Duan Ling Tian hurriedly rea.s.sured his master.

After a moment, Feng Qing Yang asked curiously, “How did you escape? The independent realm that housed the main t.i.tle Temple was created by a supreme powerhouse. It’s impossible for you to escape from the place…”

Although Feng Qing Yang had detonated his clone to buy time for Duan Ling Tian to escape, he did not think the chances of success were high. Hence, he was shocked when he discovered that Duan Ling Tian managed to escape.

“Master, the Five Divine Elements helped me…” Duan Ling Tian answered truthfully.

“The Five Divine Elements?” Feng Qing Yang’s eyes widened slightly. Then, he asked worriedly, “Did you expose the existence of the Five Divine Elements?”

“No,” Duan Ling Tian answered without any hesitation. He considered this a white lie.

He had lied because he knew his master must have been weakened from the destruction of his law of earth’s clone. His master’s divine soul was also likely injured from the backlash of the clone’s destruction. It would take a while for his master to heal and to rebuild the clone from the law of earth.

When he recalled Mi Xuan was intent on killing his master, he decided to lie because he knew his master would not stay idle if his master found out that the existence of his Five Divine Elements had been exposed.

“Great.” Feng Qing Yang sighed in relief upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s reply. Then, he said, “I’ll be returning to the Asura h.e.l.l now. If you need anything, just go to the end of the Devata Realm, and send me a message from there…”

“Alright.”

…

After Feng Qing Yang entered the Asura h.e.l.l, a translucent energy that was vaguely human-shaped appeared. It was none other than Mi Xuan, the former Clan Leader of the Phantom Clan.

“d.a.m.n it! I was so close!” Mi Xuan growled. “It’s unfortunate I’m only a King of G.o.ds so I can only track souls that I’ve come in contact with. If I’m a Lord of G.o.ds, I’ll be able to track my targets through the marks left on Soul Pearls…”

In fact, the person Mi Xuan wanted to kill the most was not Feng Qing Yang; it was Duan Ling Tian. It would not be difficult for him to obtain Duan Ling Tian’s Soul Pearl and track Duan Ling Tian if he was a Lord of G.o.d. Alas, he was not powerful enough.
