Chapter 3842: Ximen Long Xiang
Sikong Yue stood in Duan Ling Tian’s way and called out, “Duan Ling Tian!”
Duan Ling Tian looked at her in confusion as he asked, “You are? Do I know you?”
Although the woman in front of him seemed vaguely familiar, Duan Ling Tian could not recall when he had met her.
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Sikong Yue’s expression darkened slightly.
At this moment, a blue-clad young man standing behind Sikong Yue asked tonelessly, “Little Yue, is this the person you want to help?” Then, he shook his head before he continued to say, “You want us to help him, but he doesn’t recognize you…”
Subsequently, the pretty woman dressed in a pale long blue robe standing behind Sikong Yue frowned slightly. She said, “Duan Ling Tian, you’re quite ungrateful. At this time, who in the Flying Dragon Sect would dare to let you join them on the King Battlefield? After all, all of the Kings of Gods in the Tai Yi Sect are targeting you now. Sikong Yue persuaded us to let you join our group to help you. It’s fine if you want to refuse the invitation, but it’s not necessary for you to act like you don’t know her, right?”
Realization dawned on Duan Ling Tian upon hearing these words. He said sheepishly, “You’re Sikong Yue? I apologize. I really didn’t recognize you. Moreover, we’ve never met before.” Then, he continued to say, “Ding Yan has already told me about your kind intentions, and I’m sure he has already told you about my intentions as well. I really have no intentions of joining a group. I plan to enter the King Battlefield alone.”
Although Duan Ling Tian refused Sikong Yue’s invitation, he still felt grateful. Hence, he said to Sikong Yue and her teammates, ” As for all of you, I think you should find a few more teammates. We can be certain that there won’t be any lone King of Gods from the Tai Yi Sect in the King Battlefield since all of them had grouped up to kill me.”
With that, Duan Ling Tian made his way to the entrance of the King Battlefield after he formed his token.
When Duan Ling Tian formed his token with his Divine Energy, everyone was shocked when they sensed his cultivation base.
“Advanced King of Gods?!”
“Duan Ling Tian broke through and became an advanced King of Gods?!”
“Heavens! His cultivation speed is too fast, right?”
Not many people knew about Duan Ling Tian’s breakthrough so it was only natural that everyone was shocked. Although they paid a lot of attention to Duan Ling Tian and his conflict with the Tai Yi Sect, they did not know he had broken through. They were dumbfounded when they thought about how fast and how much Duan Ling Tian had improved since he joined the Flying Dragon sect.
“Now that he’s an advanced King of Gods, I’m afraid no one below the stage of a Lord of Gods is a match for him.”
“If the Tai Yi Sect’s Kings of Gods didn’t form such huge groups, I’m afraid none of them would be a match for Duan Ling Tian.”
“I didn’t expect Duan Ling Tian to be an advanced King of Gods now! It won’t be easy for the Tai Yi Sect’s Kings of Gods to kill him now!”
“Not only is he an advanced King of Gods, but his comprehension of the law of space is very profound as well. Even if he can’t fight those from the Tai Yi Sect, it won’t be a problem for him to escape from them. If the Tai Yi Sect really wants to kill him, they’d have to make many preparations.”
While the others were busy discussing among themselves, Duan Ling Tian flew into the King Battlefield.
At the same time, Sikong Yue sighed in relief. “He’s become an advanced King of Gods…”
The woman standing behind Sikong Yue moved to stand next to Sikong Yue and said with a frown, “No wonder he’s so arrogant. As it turns out, he’s already an advanced King of Gods. Based on his strength previously, I don’t think there’s anyone below the stage of a Lord of Gods who is a match for him now that his strength has improved.”
“With his breakthrough, there’s really no need for him to join us.”
The final member of Sikong Yue’s group was a taciturn middle-aged man dressed in a dark red robe. At this time, he said, “With his current strength, even if four of us join forces, we still won’t be his match.”
“It’s useless for him to join our group or any group for that matter.”
“I’m afraid the Tai Yi Sect is going to meet with misfortune soon.”
“No wonder he dares to claim that he won’t leave the King Battlefield until he kills 100 Kings of Gods from the Tai Yi Sect. With his strength now, it’s not an impossible feat.”
“It still won’t be so easy. After all, the Tai Yi Sect’s Kings of Gods are now prepared to face him. Moreover, they’re all in large groups. News about his breakthrough will definitely spread to the Tai Yi Sect soon. At that time, the Tai Yi Sect will definitely make even more preparations to deal with him,” the red-clad middle-aged man said after he analyzed the situation.
Unlike the others, the red-clad middle-aged man was an outer deacon. Despite his age and status, his strength was rather good among those below the stage of a Lord of Gods. Otherwise, Sikong Yue and the other two would not have invited him to join their team. Moreover, due to his age, he was very experienced, and he had a greater insight compared to the disciples.
Sikong Yue stared in the direction in which Duan Ling Tian had left before she finally looked away with a strange expression on her face.
…
As expected, news of Duan Ling Tian’s breakthrough quickly spread. It did not take long for the Tai Yi Sect’s spy in Flying Dragon Sect to send news back to the Tai Yi Sect.
“Duan Ling Tian is an advanced King of Gods? He’s the strongest King of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect? We really can’t underestimate him.”
Following that, the Kings of Gods from the Tai Yi Sect were warned to not let their guard down. Since there were many of them who had already entered the King Battlefield, those who had yet to enter were told to warn the others after they entered the King Battlefield.
“When you enter the King Battlefield, warn the others to be careful and not to be complacent. Let them know the opponent’s strength is far stronger than what we thought.”
“Don’t just rely on strength. Use your with as well. Don’t attack recklessly when you find Duan Ling Tian. Make sure you’ve done enough preparations to ensure he won’t be able to escape.”
“Although Duan Ling Tian is strong, he’s only a King of Gods, not a Lord of Gods. Hence, you have numbers on your side. Use that to your advantage”
“Inform the others that the reward for killing Duan Ling Tian has increased from 200,000 contribution points to 300,000 contribution points.”
…
At the same time, in a remote valley in the Tai Yi Sect’s estate.
A grey-clad old man flashed and appeared in front of a wooden building. He stood silently with his hands on his back. The old man had a head full of white hair and a ruddy complexion. His face looked kind and friendly.
After a few moments, the door opened, and a tall figure walked out. The figure belonged to a handsome and austere young man. His eyes were as dazzling as gems, and his eyebrows made him look heroic. He was dressed in a snow-white robe. His back was straight, making him look even more formidable.
“Master,” the white-clad young man called out as he cupped his fists together at the old man and bowed.
In contrast to his kindly appearance, the old man’s eyes flashed coldly as he said, “If you’re able to kill Duan Ling Tian on the King Battlefield, your road to becoming a Lord of Gods will definitely be smoother.”
The old man continued to say slowly, “I know you think it’s beneath you to enter the King Battlefield and that none of the Kings of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect is a match for you. However, there’s Duan Ling Tian. He’s the strongest King of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect. He’s indeed a worthy opponent for you.”
Upon hearing these words, the white-clad young man raised his brows slightly. Then, he nodded slightly and said, “Indeed, I had no intention of entering the King Battlefield. However, for his sake, I’ll enter the battlefield. I hope he doesn’t disappoint me. After all, in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, no one below the stage of a Lord of Gods is a match for me, Ximen Long Xiang.”
Following that, the white-clad young man shot out like a streak of light. In just a moment, he vanished from sight.
Ximen Long Xiang was the strongest among the younger generation in the Tai Yi Sect. When he was just an intermediate King of Gods, he had defeated everyone under the stage of a Lord of Gods in the Tai Yi Sect. After that, he no longer appeared in front of others. Since he had not shown himself for more than 1,000 years, many from the Tai Yi Sect assumed he had left the Tai Yi Sect to join a top emperor-rank force in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Since no one stepped forward to claim otherwise, everyone began to treat the rumor as the truth.
