War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

One must admit that Duan Ling Tian’s luck was indeed quite good.

As it turned out, the senior from Liu Yun’s clan was not on duty.

After Liu Yun made his request, the senior from his clan, an aloof middle-aged man, agreed to bring Duan Ling Tian to the Prison Hall to meet Gan Ru Yan immediately.

“Thank you, Elder Liu Yu.” Duan Ling Tian quickly expressed his gratitude when he saw the middle-aged man did not hesitate to accept the request.

When Liu Yun had introduced them, Duan Ling Tian learned the middle-age man’s name was Liu Yu. Although he appeared like a middle-aged man, he was actually from the same generation as Liu Yun’s grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather (The author literally wrote grandfather 3 times…). He was an old man.

As the most outstanding person among the younger generation in the Liu Clan, Liu Yu, naturally, thought highly of and adored Liu Yun. For this reason, he had readily agreed to Liu Yun’s request to bring Duan Ling Tian to the Prison Hall to meet Gan Ru Yan. Naturally, it was only limited to meeting Gan Ru Yan.

During their journey there, Liu Yun repeatedly warned Duan Ling Tian not to mention the Saint Girl and her daughter in front of Liu Yun. For this reason, with great effort, Duan Ling Tian concealed his overwhelming emotions in case Liu Yu noticed it.

“Little Yun’er, I’m going to bring him to meet with Gan Ru Yan now. You can return to cultivating. You have to strive to further raise your cultivation base so you can be the ninth prodigy of our Fire Worship Sect!” Liu Yu said to Liu Yun solemnly before he brought Duan Ling Tian away.

His words contained the hopes he had for Liu Yun. It was the hope that a senior had for his junior.

“Yes, great grandfather,” Liu Yun responded quickly and respectfully. After he glanced at Duan Ling Tian with a helpless expression, he obediently returned.

“Duan Ling Tian, follow me to the Prison Hall!” Liu Yun looked at Duan Ling Tian as he motioned him to follow him.

There was a hint of shock in the depths of his eyes. He had also heard about Duan Ling Tian. Therefore, he was not sure whether it was a good or bad thing for Liu Yun, the most outstanding person among the younger generation in the clan, to get entangled with Duan Ling Tian.

If it was not because of Liu Yun’s relationship with Duan Ling Tian, he would not have helped Duan Ling Tian. In fact, he would not want to have anything to do with him.

However, since Liu Yun had requested a favor from him. As his great grandfather, he had no choice but to comply.

“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian responded to Liu Yu who had already left the Main Hall.

After they left the Main Hall, during their journey to the Prison Hall, Liu Yu looked at Duan Ling Tian and said calmly, “Duan Ling Tian, I can tell that Little Yun’er values you a lot as a friend…”

Liu Yu paused for a moment as though he was hesitating.

“Elder Liu Yu, it’s alright to be frank with me,” Duan Ling Tian could tell that there was more Liu Yu wanted to say. So he smiled and urged him to finish what he was going to say.

“I hope that you can maintain a certain distance with Little Yun’er in the future. If it’s possible, maybe you can fall out with him publicly!” Liu Yu added again.

“Elder Liu Yu, are you worried that I’ll implicate Senior Brother Liu Yun?” Duan Ling Tian was not an idiot. He, naturally, knew what Liu Yu was thinking.

“I’m not only worried you’ll implicate Little Yun’er, but I’m even more worried that you’ll implicate our Liu Clan!” Liu Yu said bluntly, “It’s not too bad that you offended Li An from the Four Symbols Sanctum since I don’t fear him! With me around, he can’t touch the Liu Clan. However, even I dread the people behind those two people you’ve offended after you came to the Saint Land. The moment you offended both of them, you’ve inadvertently offended two powerhouses at the rank of Golden Flame Elders. If they vent their anger on the Liu Clan because of you, I’ll be powerless to do anything!” A hint of dread could be seen in the depths of his eyes.

Currently, Liu Yu was the strongest person in the Liu Clan. However, in the Fire Worship Sect, he was only a Silver Flame Elder. He could not afford to offend a Golden Flame Elder, let alone two.

Upon hearing Liu Yu’s words, Duan Ling Tian instantly fell silent. He had never thought about this before. With Liu Yu’s reminder, Duan Ling Tian felt so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat.

If Liu Yun or the Liu Clan were really implicated because of him, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life!

“Elder Liu Yu, thanks for your reminder.” Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath before he looked at Liu Yu. He said earnestly, “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure everyone thinks Senior Brother Liu Yun and I have a falling out in a month!”

“Duan Ling Tian, I’m really thankful you’re so understanding. It shows that you’re a good friend. Little Yun’er’s judgment is good.” Liu Yu nodded his head in satisfaction and continued to say, “However, I know that child, Little Yun’er, well. I’m afraid he won’t be willing to fall out with a friend like you.”

“Don’t worry, Elder Liu Yu. I’ll persuade him,” Duan Ling Tian said solemnly.

Liu Yu felt assured after listening to Duan Ling Tian’s words. After that, they no longer spoke during the rest of the journey.

The Prison Hall of the Enforcement Hall was located north of the Main Hall. It was also on the outskirt of the Enforcement Hall. It was located near a dangerously steep mountain.

Naturally, they were stopped when they approached the vicinity of the Prison Hall.

“Elder Liu Yu.” The person who stopped them was an Enforcement Hall’s Bronze Flame Elder. He was very polite to Liu Yu.

“Bring me to Elder Meng Qi and the others,” Liu Yu ordered indifferently.

“Yes.” Then, the Enforcement Hall’s Bronze Flame Elder led Duan Ling Tian and Liu Yu to see the three Silver Flame Elders who were on duty at the Prison Hall.

The Silver Flame Elders in the Enforcement Hall knew each other.

It just so happened that the three Silver Flame Elders on duty in the Prison Hall had a close relationship with Liu Yu. Due to this reason, they agreed to his request and allowed Duan Ling Tian to meet Gan Ru Yan.

However, there was a time limit. He only had 15 minutes with Gan Ru Yan.

Although Duan Ling Tian felt 15 minutes were too short, he did not make a fuss. He knew it was all thanks to Liu Yu he could even meet Gan Ru Yan. He had no right to make a fuss at all.

“Thank you very much, Elders!” After receiving permission from the three Silver Flame Elders on duty in the Prison Hall, Duan Ling Tian cupped his hand and expressed his gratitude.

Soon after, one of the Silver Flame Elders, Meng Qi, led Duan Ling Tian into the Prison Hall.

Once Duan Ling Tian was brought into the Prison Hall, the other two Silver Flame Elders looked at Liu Yu strangely as they asked, “Liu Yu, what kind of relationship do you have with Duan Ling Tian? To think you’re willing to help him.”

“That’s right! What relationship do you have with him?” Since Duan Ling Tian’s portrait had circulated in the Fire Worship Sect, these two Silver Flame Elders recognized him as soon as they saw him. Not only that, but they had heard about the various things Duan Ling Tian had done in the past.

“No relationship. It just so happens he’s a friend of my junior, and my junior requested this from me.” Liu Yu smiled nonchalantly.

“Liu Yu, this Duan Ling Tian is a hot potato. You better tell your junior to distance himself from Duan Ling Tian.”

“Indeed! He has even offended Dong Lin. Dong Lin is the dearest child of our Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Master Dong! Since Duan Ling Tian has offended his beloved child, he won’t let the matter go!”

The two Silver Flame Elders had a close relationship with Liu Yu so they warned him.

“I know.” Liu Yu nodded. If he did not know, he would not have warned Duan Ling Tian to distance himself from Liu Yun.

However, when he recalled Duan Ling Tian’s promise to him, his heart felt at ease.

…

Meanwhile, under Elder Meng Qi’s lead, Duan Ling Tian finally entered the Prison Hall.

The moment he entered the Prison Hall, he sensed an eerie aura that sent shivers up his spine.

Meng Qi who had been quiet suddenly asked, “Duan Ling Tian, I’m very curious, do you have any connection with the dragon clan?”

“Elder Meng Qi, I merely obtained a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon’s legacy. It’s all luck that obtained the ability to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. I’ve never met them before.” Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly.

“With your Innate Spiritual Root and your identity as a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, they’ll nurture you with everything they have if you go to the dragon clan!” Meng Qi’s eyes brightened as he continued to say, “Although I don’t know what relationship you have with Liu Yu, the fact that he’s willing to help you meet Gan Ru Yan means you have a close relationship. Liu Yu and I have been friends for many years, I feel it’s my duty to advise you to leave the Fire Worship Sect as soon as possible since Vice Hall Master Dong of our Enforcement Hall is not someone who’s easy to deal with!”

When he mentioned Vice Hall Master Dong, a hint of dread appeared in his eyes.

“Thank you for your advice, Elder Meng Qi.” Duan Ling Tian knew Meng Qi said this with good intentions, but he had no plan of listening to his advice. However, that did not stop him from expressing his gratitude.

There was only one purpose for him to come to the Fire Worship Sect and that was to save Ke’er and their daughter.

Before he saved both of them, he would not leave the Fire Worship Sect unless he was left with no other choice.

Meng Qi no longer said anything as though he could see through Duan Ling Tian’s thought. They continued the rest of their journey in silence,

The deeper they entered the Prison Hall, the icy aura became even more intense.

“Elder Meng Qi, why is it so cold?” Duan Ling Tian asked Meng Qi with a grim expression as he looked at Meng Qi. A hint of worry could be seen in his eyes.

“The prison is much colder than here,” Meng Qi replied.

“It’s much colder in there?” Duan Ling Tian widened his eyes as his mind instantly thought of Ke’er and their daughter.

With Ke’er’s cultivation base, perhaps she could still bear the cold. However, what about their daughter?

How old was she? Would she be able to bear the cold?

The moment Duan Ling Tian thought of this, he felt as though his heart had been pierced by a knife.
