Chapter 3818: Xue Ming Zhi
At this moment, despair flooded Xue Ming Zhi’s heart. Although the person in front of him had yet to reveal her identity, he knew Xu Tong Yuan’s death was likely related to her since she said that Xu Tong Yuan was dead. However, he really could not figure out why Xu Tong Yuan had died when he had only asked Xu Tong Yuan to kill the clan leader of a lord-rank clan. Most importantly, the lord-rank clan did not even have an intermediate Lord of Gods. How could Xu Tong Yuan have died?
Xue Ming Zhi soon discovered that his Divine Consciousness had been blocked by an even more powerful Divine Consciousness, preventing him from calling for help. He could not even send messages. Moreover, after such a long time, no one had shown up.
Linghu Ren Feng responded indifferently to Xue Ming Zhi’s earlier question, “Linghu Ren Jie is my biological older brother.”
Although Xue Ming Zhi had already guessed the Emperor of Gods in front of him had something to do with the Linghu clan, the despair in his heart intensified when he heard those words.
‘She’s Linghu Ren Jie’s younger sister? How could a small lord-rank clan like the Linghu clan produce an Emperor of Gods? I’ve not heard anything about her before.’
Linghu Ren Jie was confused. He grew even more frightened when he thought about how he had ordered Xu Tong Yuan to kill the older brother of an Emperor of Gods.
Xue Ming Zhi said bitterly, “Madam, I, Xue Ming Zhi, have not lived in vain being killed by someone like you.”
Xue Ming Zhi was certain of his death. After all, he had ordered the death of the powerhouse’s brother. If he were in his shoes, he would have killed himself as well. As for how the woman knew he was responsible, he had no doubt that Xu Tong Yuan had betrayed him. Unfortunately, Xu Tong Yuan still died after revealing everything. He did not blame Xu Tong Yuan since he knew he would have done the same under similar circumstances.
‘If that girl didn’t marry Kuang Tian Zheng’s disciple, I didn’t give in to her when she begged me to intervene, I wouldn’t be in this situation now…’ Xue Ming Zhi was filled with regrets at this moment. Alas, there was no point in regretting his actions now. He completely gave up on begging for mercy. Since she killed Xu Tong Yuan, how could she let him, the mastermind, live?
While Xue Ming Zhi was drowning in despair, Linghu Ren Feng asked, “When did I say I’m going to kill you? I don’t care about your grievances with Duan Ling Tian, and I don’t care how you deal with him. He’s only a Revered Elder of our clan. Moreover, he has also left our clan. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me. However, if you dare to act against our Linghu clan, I’ll kill you. Do you understand?”
Linghu Ren Feng’s eyes flashed coldly as she looked at Xue Ming Zhi.
Xue Ming Zhi, overjoyed at the unexpected turn of events, hurriedly replied, “I understand, I understand. I promise to treat the Linghu clan with the utmost respect. I promise I won’t harm the Linghu clan!”
“I hope you keep your words. Otherwise, I’ll definitely kill you. It doesn’t matter where you hide, I’ll definitely hunt you down,” Linghu Ren Feng said coldly. As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared without a trace.
With this, Xue Ming Zhi discovered his Divine Energy was no longer blocked. Earlier, he had been completely helpless. He trembled slightly as he climbed out of the pit on the ground. Then, he hurriedly filled in the human-shaped pit to avoid embarrassment. He did not want anyoneto find out about today’s matter.
Fear lingered in Xue Ming Zhi’s heart after his close brush with death. He looked around and began to appreciate the beauty of life that he had taken for granted at this moment.
‘I was lucky. As long as I don’t harm the Linghu clan and its members, she won’t kill him. As for Duan Ling Tian, she doesn’t care what I do to him…’ Xue Ming Zhi thought to himself. Then, his eyes flashed with murderous intent as he continued thinking to himself, ‘Since that’s the case, I can’t let Duan Ling Tian go. Although I had no enmity with him in the past, I was almost killed because of him this time. It’s impossible for me to retaliate against that Emperor of Godsor the Linghu clan so I can only vent my anger on him. After all, there’s nothing to be afraid of since the Emperor of Gods has no intention of protecting him.’
It had been a long time since Xue Ming Zhi had last felt so embarrassed. Alas, there was no way he could vent his anger on the Emperor of Gods. He could only vent his anger on Duan Ling Tian.
‘Duan Ling Tian will definitely find out that I was behind this matter from Linghu Ren Jie. If such a genius is allowed to grow unchecked, I’ll definitely die in the future. I must kill him while I still can!’
Following that, Xue Ming Zhi sent a message to his son-in-law, Kuang Tian Zheng’s second disciple.
“I want to meet you and your master. I have something to say.”
Needless to say, he did not plan to tell them about his embarrassing encounter with Linghu Ren Feng. However, he had to warn Kuang Tian Zheng and his son-in-law not to target the Linghu clan even if they wanted to kill Duan Ling Tian. Otherwise, he might die because of their foolish actions. He did not think he would be so lucky to escape death the next time.
…
After the ‘earthquake’ at the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate, Duan Ling Tian who had awakened from his cultivation left his room. When he walked out into his courtyard, he saw a group of inner disciples discussing among themselves.
“Did an Emperor of Gods come to our sect?”
“I think so. How terrifying! She attacked and managed to shatter our Guarding Formation.”
“Our Formation couldn’t stop her…”
“That Emperor of Gods is likely not an ordinary Emperor of Gods. After all, even ordinary Emperors of Gods can’t easily break our Guarding Formation.”
Duan Ling Tian had also heard the woman’s voice that reverberated through the entire Flying Dragon Sect’s estate earlier. She sounded even fiercer and more domineering than men.
The high-ranking officials of the Flying Dragon were still hovering in the sky. All of them tried to speak to the woman but were ruthlessly ignored.
Swoosh!
Duan Ling Tian teleported and appeared next to Hou Qing Ning and Ding Yan.
Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian, Hou Qing Ning said excitedly, “Duan Ling Tian, an Emperor of Gods was here!”
“I know. I heard the others’ discussion,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod. He felt slightly speechless by Hou Qing Ning’s reaction. He said, “Why are you so excited? If I didn’t know better, I’d think you’re related to that Emperor of Gods.”
Hou Qing Ning smiled sheepishly. “I’m just slightly excited. After all, Emperors of Gods are legendary. Although she sounded young, if she’s willing, I’d even kneel down and call her ‘godmother’. With an Emperor of Gods as a godmother, no one in the Eastern Ridge Mansion would dare to provoke me!”
An expression of longing could be seen on Hou Qing Ning’s face as he spoke.
At the same time, Ding Yan took a few steps back as though to say he did not know Hou Qing Ning.
Duan Ling Tian also looked at Hou Qing Ning disdainfully. ‘Why didn’t I notice this guy is so unscrupulous before?’
Slap!
Bang!
At this moment, the sound of a slap followed by the sound of a crash rang in the air.
When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he saw Hou Qing Ning had disappeared.
Everyone was attracted by this commotion, and when they looked in the direction of the crashing sound, they saw Hou Qing Ning, who had crashed against a mountain, bleeding from the corners of his lips.
“This is just a small lesson. If you dare to speak nonsense again, I’ll slap you to death.”
Hou Qing Ning was not unfamiliar with this voice. It was the voice of the female Emperor of Gods who had shattered the barrier earlier.
Hou Qing Ning panicked, filled with fear. He did not expect his casual joke would result in this.
Meanwhile, the others looked around in confusion.
“What happened?”
“Who did this?”
While the others looked around in confusion, Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness out. When he sensed that Hou Qing Ning was only slightly injured, he sighed in relief.
“Huh?”
Duan Ling Tian suddenly saw something falling, and he instinctively grabbed it. When he looked down, he saw a spatial ring.
At the same time, a Voice Transmission rang in his ears.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened immediately. ‘It’s that Emperor of Gods!’
