War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Why? Do you want to give it a try?” Dugu asked as he looked at Duan Ling Tian with narrowed eyes.

“Since you’re so interested, I’ll, naturally, be happy to indulge you, Leader Dugu!” Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow upon hearing Dugu’s words.

The instant Duan Ling Tian’s words left his mouth, he raised the Devilseal Tablet in his hand and threw it toward Dugu.

Swish!

The Devilseal Tablet that was thrown out charged at Dugu like a cannonball.

The terrifying aura around the Devilseal Tablet put Deputy Leader Feng Bu Yi of Mountainshade Black Market on guard as though he was facing great danger. Even Dugu’s expression gradually turned grave as well.

Although Dugu was confident he would not be killed by the Devilseal Tablet, no matter what, it was still the Devilseal Tablet after all. It was the bane of all Devil Cultivators so he did not dare to be reckless.

Bang!

The Devilseal Tablet soon arrived near Dugu. The Devil Qi around it seemed to have transformed into a mountain as it bore down on Dugu.

Dugu finally made his move when faced with the Devilseal Tablet that was charging at him with full power.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

He gently took a stride forward. At this instant, Devil Qi began to surge out of his body. In the next moment, many clone-like Devil shadows emerged from his body rapidly. The number was extremely terrifying. In just a blink of an eye, they had covered the entire sky above the little valley.

“10,000 Devil Invasion!” Dugu hissed softly as the 10,000 Devil shadows that burst out of his body began to make their moves. One after another, they charged at the Devilseal Tablet that was about to land on him.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

…

The sound of air detonation sounded continuously in the wake of the Devilseal Tablet. It was deafeningly loud.

The Devil Qi was everywhere. It was like dark clouds that hung over a city.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

…

The 10,000 Devil shadows continued to charge at the Devilseal Tablet one after another accompanied with dreadful cries and howls. They sounded like ghosts that had crept up from hell.

The Devilseal Tablet originally had the power to destroy the Devil. Faced with these Devil shadows, it killed them one after another!

If these were Devil Cultivators made of flesh and blood, perhaps they would have long fled when faced with the Devilseal Tablet’s killing spree. However, the Devil shadows were fearless.

After ten were annihilated, another hundred would charge out.

After a hundred was annihilated, another 1,000 would charge out.

“Huh?” Just as the 1,000 Devil shadows had been annihilated, Duan Ling Tian discovered the remaining Devil shadows had begun to form a Formation.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian even thought the Devil shadows that were charging at the Devilseal Tablet one after another were not as disorganized as they seemed. It seemed as though they were an entity.

Boom!

The Devilseal Tablet continued to fall downward.

At this moment, a scene that unfolded before Duan Ling Tian’s eyes took him by surprise.

Currently, faced with the 10,000 Devil Shadows that were charging at the Devilseal Tablet, it could not even kill one Devil shadow at all. Moreover, it seemed to be restrained by the Devil shadows.

These Devil shadows seemed to have joined forces to form a gigantic net, restraining the Devilseal Tablet.

“This is the high-grade Divine Ability that Dugu mastered? The 10,000 Devil Invasion?” Duan Ling Tian gasped. Duan Ling Tian did not expect Dugu to be so powerful. With just one Divine Ability, he managed to stop his Devilseal Tablet.

No wonder Dugu dared to boast that only a powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage and above could kill him using the Devilseal Tablet! Dugu was indeed qualified to say such words.

Duan Ling Tian became bored when he saw the Devilseal Tablet could not do anything to Dugu at all.

Initially, he thought he could use the Devilseal Tablet to kill Dugu and help his father to get rid of trouble. However, it did not cross his mind that Dugu did not fear the Devilseal Tablet when it was used by him.

With just a thought, Duan Ling Tian raised his hand and withdrew the Devilseal Tablet.

“Dugu in the North, your reputation is indeed well deserved!” Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at Dugu.

“As expected from Duan Ru Feng’s son, you’re so young, but you’re already at the Divine Saint Stage. Perhaps you may even surpass your father in the future.” Dugu looked at Duan Ling Tian as well. Dugu’s eyes contained a hint of sincere admiration when he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

Although he previously wanted to capture Duan Ling Tian, he did not intend to use him to threaten Duan Ru Feng. He merely wanted to break Duan Ru Feng’s spirit a little.

He would never stoop so low as to use a dirty trick in his rivalry with Duan Ru Feng!

For this reason, from the beginning until the end, he had never had any enmity with Duan Ling Tian at all. Instead, he admired Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent!

“Thank you for the compliment, Leader Dugu.” Duan Ling Tian nodded his head nonchalantly.

As though Dugu was reminded of something, he stared at Duan Ling Tian intently before asking, “If I’m not mistaken, that genius Ling Tian who appeared in the Mystical Sky Mansion must be you, right?”

“What makes you say so?” Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, shocked when he heard Dugu’s words. Not many people knew about this.

Even the two Deputy Leaders of Mountainshade Black Market, Feng Bu Yi and Zhong Qi Shan, were looking at each other. “This Young Mansion Master Duan Ling Tian from the Azure Cloud Mansion is the genius disciple, Ling Tian, in Mystical Sky Mansion?”

How was it possible? Both of them felt skeptical.

Zhong Qi Shan looked at Feng Bu Yi and asked through Voice Transmission, “Old Feng, you’ve been to the Mystical Sky Mansion before and have also seen that genius disciple, Ling Tian. Does that person look like this Young Mansion Master from the Azure Cloud Mansion? Or perhaps, he was in disguise?”

After all, Feng Bu Yi had once followed the order given to him and went to the Mystical Sky Mansion to persuade Ling Tian to join them. Nobody else in the Mountainshade Black Market knew Ling Tian better than him.

“I’m certain Ling Tian from the Mystical Sky Mansion did not disguise himself. As for whether Duan Ling Tian is in disguise now, I’m sure you can tell by yourself. Although their physiques and names are similar, they have a completely different appearance. It’s really hard for me to believe they’re the same person since both of them have no signs of disguise on their faces at all.” Feng Bu Yi replied through Voice Transmission. His voice was filled with confusion and questions.

“Ling Tian from the Mystical Sky Mansion was not in disguise? This is weird. How can two people who are not in disguise be the same person? What’s going through Lord Leader’s mind, I wonder,” Zhong Qi Shan replied through Voice Transmission. He was baffled as well.

“What makes me say so?” Dugu said unhurriedly with narrowed eyes when faced with Duan Ling Tian’s calm expression, “Simple… Your name and him!” When he spoke, he looked at Gu Li who was standing next to Duan Ru Feng.

“If I’m not mistaken, Gu Li, the son of Guardian Gu Ci Yun from the Mystical Sky Mansion, has very few friends due to his personality. He doesn’t even have ordinary friends, let alone a good friend!” Dugu continued to speak slowly.

His words made Gu Li’s heart jolt. He was not surprised Dugu knew this about him. If Dugu did not even know this, then he was not qualified to be the Leader of the Mountainshade Black Market.

“Gu Li finally made a good friend when Ling Tian appeared in the Mystical Sky Mansion. I just recalled Ling Tian and Gu Li had left the Mystical Sky Mansion about half a year ago or so and seemingly went to the Upper Province. However, Gu Li’s presence here today, coupled with your name, made it easy for me to figure out that you’re Ling Tian!” Dugu explained the reason behind his words.

In the end, he even said, “Naturally, there’s something I still haven’t figured out. I don’t know what technique you used to cover all signs of disguise on your face!”

It must be said that Duan Ling Tian’s view of Dugu had changed after listening to him speak. Not only was Leader Dugu of the Mountainshade Black Market terrifyingly strong, but he was also extremely intelligent.

It made him feel uneasy. In front of Dugu, he felt as though he was seen through by him. This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.

When Gu Li heard Dugu’s words, his eyes were as wide as saucers. He even had a look of admiration when he looked at Dugu! He did not expect Dugu would be able to figure this out!

As for Duan Ru Feng and Ku Mi, they were not surprised at all. After all, this was not their first encounter with Dugu.

“So? Am I right?” Dugu asked even though he already knew the answer when he saw Duan Ling Tian looking at him guardedly and remaining silent for a long time.

“As expected from the Leader of the Mountainshade Black Market, it’d be hard for the Mountainshade Black Market to fall with you around!” Duan Ling Tian answered sincerely after taking a deep breath.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Dugu was delighted. He immediately looked at Duan Ru Feng and asked teasingly, “Mansion Master Duan, do you feel irritated listening to your son praising me?”

“It’s well-known in the Lower Province that you’re intelligent, Leader Dugu. Why should I feel irritated?” Duan Ru Feng replied indifferently.

After taking a good look at Duan Ru Feng and nodding at Duan Ling Tian, Dugu looked at Feng Bu Yi and Zhong Qi Shan as he said, “Alright, then. Since it’s just for a few nights, let’s just make do with what’s available..”

As soon as Dugu finished speaking, he walked into one of the wooden houses without waiting for Feng Bu Yi and Zhong Qi Shan’s response. His silhouette from the back looked elegant.

‘Leader Dugu is quite unpredictable,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

If he was initially a little prejudiced toward Dugu for being the Leader of Mountainshade Black Market and for being his father’s rival, at this moment, all the prejudice had disappeared.

Naturally, this did not mean he was going to stay neutral in the rivalry between his father and Dugu. If his father fought with Dugu, he would, naturally, stand on his father side due to their blood relations.

“He’s actually Ling Tian! Since when did such an amazing disguising tactic appear in the Dao Martial Saint Land?” The most confused person on the scene was undoubtedly Feng Bu Yi, the Deputy Leader of Mountainshade Black Market, who had once seen the genius disciple, Ling Tian, in the Mystical Sky Mansion. It was because of this he was stunned by such an amazing disguising tactic.

Although Zhong Qi Shan was also shocked and confused, it was nothing compared to what Feng Bu Yi felt.

Feng Bu Yi had seen Duan Ling Tian twice. During these two times, not only did he have a different appearance, but it was completely undetectable by his Divine Consciousness.
