War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Thanks for the reminder, sect leader.” After Duan Ling Tian thanked Sun Liang Peng, he raised his hand, and the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman materialized in his hand. Although the effect of the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman would only last for ten breaths, as far as he was concerned, it was more than sufficient.

“Sect Leader, I’ll take my leave now.” Duan Ling Tian bade farewell to Sun Liang Peng and stepped out of the boundary of the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate.

As soon as one of Duan Ling Tian’s feet crossed the boundary between the Simplicity Celestial Sect and outside, effectively leaving the great protective Formation of the sect, the eyes of Leng Ye, the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang, glinted coldly. As he remained hidden in the dark, his Celestial Origin Energy rose to the surface of his body.

At this moment.

“Hm?” As Leng Ye watched Duan Ling Tian leave the protection of the sect’s Formations, he saw Duan Ling Tian shattering a talisman in his hand.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian shattered the talisman, an aura with a blue light began to spread into the surroundings. The shockwave from the aura was so fierce that it felt as though it would spread through heaven and earth.

began to shine.

Naturally, at this moment, based on the aura, Leng Ye could tell the talisman was not ordinary.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian had finally completely left the array of protective Formations in the Simplicity Celestial Sect.

Leng Ye’s eyes shone with killing intent as he allowed his Celestial Origin Energy that had already been brewing on the surface of his body to erupt at this moment.

“Die!” Leng Ye’s figure flickered out of sight. When he reappeared, he was already charging toward Duan Ling Tian like a ghost in the dark night.

“Watch out!” Sun Liang Peng cried out in warning as soon as he saw Leng Ye. He was surprised by Leng Ye’s sudden appearance. It seemed like he had completely forgotten that Duan Ling Tian had already activated the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman.

Meanwhile, Wang Qian Zhan who was standing nearby in the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate muttered to himself, “Die! Die! Die!” His expression was filled with hatred, and his eyes shone with viciousness. He had deliberately come here so he could witness the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang killing Duan Ling Tian. In his opinion, with a Nine Palaces Celestial King making a move, Duan Ling Tian’s death was certain. Even if Duan Ling Tian used his consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon and gained the strength of a One Basic Celestial Lord, due to the low number of profundities he believed Duan Ling Tian had comprehended, he was confident Duan Ling Tian still would not be a match for the Nine Palaces Celestial King assassin sent by the Blood Skull Gang.

“Finally decided to show yourself, huh?” Duan Ling Tian said coldly upon hearing Sun Liang Peng’s warning. In just a blink of an eye, he seemed to have vanished into thin air from the spot he was standing in,

The three people, Sun Liang Peng, Leng Ye, and Wang Qian Zhan, who were watching did not know where Duan Ling Tian disappeared to. In their eyes, Duan Ling Tian had simply vanished without any warning.

When Leng Ye, the Nine Palaces Celestial King assassin, who was in the midst of charging toward Duan Ling Tian with great momentum saw Duan Ling Tian seemingly vanishing into thin air, his expression changed drastically.

Although Duan Ling Tian was no longer in sight, his voice rang from a distance. “There will be a day when I’ll visit your Blood Skull Gang…” Although he sounded calm, there was no missing the fury in his voice as well.

“What happened?” Leng Ye came to a halt in the air. He surveyed his surroundings thoroughly, looking to see if Duan Ling Tian left any tracks behind. Alas, he found nothing. With this discovery, his expression turned extremely unsightly. At this moment, even if he was not smart, he could already guess what had happened. Duan Ling Tian must have used a speed-enhancing movement Celestial Talisman. Moreover, the effect of the movement Celestial Talisman was so great that he could not catch up to Duan Ling Tian at all.

“Lord Leng Ye!” At this moment, Wang Qian Zhan sent a Voice Transmission to Leng Ye. His expression was equally as unsightly as Leng Ye’s. “This must have something to do with the Sect Leader of our Simplicity Celestial Sect. He must have given Duan Ling Tian the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman that the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion rewarded him with… Otherwise, how could he escape from under your nose.” Clearly, he was aware of the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman that Sun Liang Peng possessed. After seeing Duan Ling Tian successfully escaping death, it was not difficult for him to figure out Sun Liang Peng had given Duan Ling Tian the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman.

Wang Qian Zhan continued to explain, “That talisman was inscribed by a Celestial Lord. Not only did it contain his Celestial Origin Energy, but it also contained the law of wind’s Wind Style Profundity and the Gale Profundity. Moreover, both profundities aren’t at the rudimentary stage; they had been comprehended to the initial stage. Based on my knowledge, the effect of the talisman only lasts for ten breaths. Unfortunately, ten breaths are more than enough to let Duan Ling Tian escape to the heavens if he so wished. Lord Leng Ye, by giving Duan Ling Tian the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman, is making a stand against the Blood Skull Gang.”

Wang Qian Zhan was truly vexed. He was extremely certain he would witness Duan Ling Tian’s death today. Not even in his wildest dreams did he expect Duan Ling Tian to escape. Moreover, the only reason Duan Ling Tian was able to escape was due to Sun Liang Peng’s Wind Shadow Escape Talisman. Therefore, part of his fury and hatred were not directed to Sun Liang Peng as well. For this reason, he had tried to instigate Leng Ye into making a move against Sun Liang Peng in his Voice Transmission.

“The Wind Style Profundity and the Gale Profundity… The aura I felt earlier must have been from those two profundities from the law of wind.” Upon hearing Wang Qian Zhan’s words, Leng Ye recalled the aura he felt earlier and confirmed the Celestial Talisman Duan Ling Tian had used earlier was undoubtedly the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman. With this knowledge, he was aware that he would not be able to catch up to Duan Ling Tian even though the talisman’s effect only lasted for ten breaths.

Leng Ye, who was still hovering in the air, looked pointedly at Sun Liang Peng who had yet to leave. “Sun Liang Peng! You actually gave that Celestial Talisman to Duan Ling Tian… I’m surprised you weren’t reluctant to part with it…”

“Hm?” Upon hearing Leng Ye’s words, Sun Liang Peng frowned. How could Leng Ye have known he had given the Wind Shadow Escaping Talisman to Duan Ling Tian. As thoughts raced through his mind, he coincidentally turned around and saw Wang Qian Zhan, the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. With that, he had no doubt that Wang Qian Zhan was the one who had told the Blood Skull Gang’s assassin about the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman. After all, he knew Wang Qian Zhan was aware that he possessed the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman. Wang Qian Zhan even knew the speed granted by the talisman was so fast that ordinary Celestial Lords would have a hard time catching up.

Sun Liang Peng looked at Wang Qian Zhan coldly before he turned to look at Leng Ye. He said indifferently, “Sir, what’s wrong with me giving Duan Ling Tian my Wind Shadow Escape Talisman? Don’t tell me that as the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, I can’t even reward an outstanding disciple of mine?” When he finished speaking, a sneer could be seen on his face.

Although the Blood Skull Gang’s assassin was a Nine Palaces Celestial King, Sun Liang Peng was confident Leng Ye would not dare to recklessly make a move. After all, he was the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. Most importantly, the Simplicity Celestial Sect was under the protection of the Profound Nether Mansion. If Leng Ye killed him, it would definitely cause a commotion and alert the Profound Nether Mansion. The Profound Nether Mansion would definitely take action. After all, if a leader of one of the Three Sects and Two Clans under the Profound Nether Mansion’s protection could be killed without any consequences, how would the others under the Profound Nether Mansion trust in the mansion’s ability to lead? Therefore, he was confident that if Leng Ye killed him, the Profound Nether Mansion would hunt Leng Ye down and kill him to make an example out of him. With this, he was not the slightest bit afraid Leng Ye would make a move against him.

“Very well, Sun Liang Peng, good job…” Leng Ye said through gritted teeth as he stared at Sun Liang Peng. Although fury had overwhelmed his heart, due to his fear of the Profound Nether Mansion, he knew he could not make a move against Sun Liang Peng. After that, he turned around left. He no longer lingered in the vicinity of the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate and directly returned to report back to the Blood Skull Gang. After all, his target had already left, and he had no idea if his target would even return to the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate. Therefore, he did see a point in staying near the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate.

Upon seeing Leng Ye leaving without doing anything, despair welled up in Wang Qian Zhan’s heart, and an expression of disappointment appeared on his face. “He’s leaving just like this?”

“Wang Qian Zhan!” Wang Qian Zhan was still lost in his despair when Sun Liang Peng looked at him pointedly and said in a frosty manner, “Although I don’t have any evidence of you colluding with that Blood Skull Gang’s assassin, I’m telling you now that it’s best if you willingly leave the Simplicity Celestial Sect. Otherwise, I’m not sure I’ll be able to stop myself from killing you on impulse!” A sneer appeared on his face after he finished speaking. The intense killing intent in his eyes caused shivers to run up Wang Qian Zhan’s spine.

Wang Qian Zhan was well aware of Sun Liang Peng’s character. Sun Liang Peng was someone who meant his words. In the past, Sun Liang Peng managed to surpass his competitors and successfully became the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect was precisely due to his determination and ruthlessness. Sun Liang Peng was not someone who would be lenient to the people who went against him.

Although Wang Qian Zhan was inwardly shocked, he maintained a calm exterior. “Since Duan Ling Tian is gone, naturally, I’ll no longer stay in the sect.” After saying these words, he directly left the Simplicity Sect’s estate. If it were not for Duan Ling Tian staying in the sect before this, he would have left the sect on the day his granddaughter was executed.

…

Meanwhile.

“How fast! So this is the speed of a Celestial Lord who has comprehended to movement profundities from the law of wind to the initial stage?” After Duan Ling Tian made several detours, he arrived near the place where he was supposed to meet Ling Jue Yun.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was still exhilarated from the speed that the Celestial Talisman granted him for ten breaths. The effect of the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman made his body feel as light as a feather. While he moved, his surroundings were a blur. Even if he used his consumable Royal Celestial Weapon, he would not have such a speed.

After traveling for a short moment, Duan Ling Tian finally saw his and Ling Jue Yun’s meeting place. It was an ancient vast city.

“Ax Mountain City!”
