Chapter 4571 - 4571 Old Xiao, You’re Really Lucky!
4571 Old Xiao, You’re Really Lucky!
Xiao Tian Ci was very clear about his intentions in the Voice Transmission. Old Meng, the supreme powerhouse of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, whose existence many people were unaware of, was eager to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda and obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman to fight for his survival.
When Duan Ling Tian was in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, he had heard about Old Meng. Many thought he was dead, and some knew he was still alive, living in seclusion while guarding the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. With Xiao Tian Ci’s message, he learned that Old Meng was nearing the end of his life. If the Heaven Traversing Pagoda did not appear, Old Meng would likely die during his upcoming once-in-10,000-year Heavenly Tribulation.
When the Heaven Traversing Pagoda appeared, and Feng Qing Yang blocked the entrance, Old Meng could only return to the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. After all, he feared Feng Qing Yang’s strength. Later, he learned that Duan Ling Tian, who joined the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion, was Feng Qing Yang’s disciple. For this reason, he asked Xiao Tian Ci to contact Duan Ling Tian, hoping that Duan Ling Tian would help him to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda.
At that time, Xiao Tian Ci could not find Duan Ling Tian in the Outer Boundary and the God Defying World. As such, he had no choice but to send a message to Feng Qing Yang.
However, Feng Qing Yang did not agree since he was not sure if Xiao Tian Ci was lying about his connection to Duan Ling Tian. He had told Xiao Tian Ci that they would speak about the matter again after Xiao Tian Ci spoke to Duan Ling Tian.
Now that Duan Ling Tian relayed Xiao Tian Ci’s message to Feng Qing Yang, he shook his head and said with a smile, “He also sent me a message in the past. He said that you had ties with the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion and asked if I could allow his elder to enter the pagoda. I was not sure if he was lying so I didn’t agree and asked him to contact you instead.”
Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly. Unexpectedly, Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Golden Dragon Palace, was treated like a liar by his master.
Feng Qing Yang continued to say, “Since you know them, tell him to call that elder over. Now that there are so many entrances to the pagoda, it’s impossible for us to prevent everyone from entering the pagoda. Moreover, I never thought of killing people indiscriminately. I really don’t have it in me to do such a thing. I didn’t guard the pagoda to spite those people. I’m also not worried about them possessing strength comparable to mine. In my life, I’ve never been afraid of competition. I only guarded the pagoda because I was dissatisfied with heaven. What were all my hardships for if heaven was going to give everyone a shortcut?”
After listening to these words, Duan Ling Tian knew that his master did not change at all even though so many years had passed. His master still stuck to his principles and was not afraid of competition.
“I’ll pass on the message,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod. Then, he sent a message to Xiao Tian Ci, saying, “Palace Master, there’s no need to be so polite with me. There’s no need to address me as ‘Lord’. Just tell the Saint to come to the pagoda. Also, you have a way to contact the two Saints of the Azure Cloud Saint Sect, right? Tell them that they can enter through the main entrance once they complete the task I entrusted them with.”
Duan Ling Tian wanted to motivate the two Saints from the Azure Cloud Saint Sect with this.
Xiao Tian Ci chuckled and replied, “I wasn’t trying to be polite. It was of my own will when I addressed you as ‘Lord’. I’ll change the form of address when we meet. Thank you.”
…
Xiao Tian Ci quickly relayed Duan Ling Tian’s message to Old Meng.
When Old Meng heard that he could go to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda immediately, he was surprised.
“They agreed so easily?” Old Meng asked. Then, he said warily, “Tian Ci, are you sure? What if Duan Ling Tian and his master are only luring me into a trap?”
Xiao Tian Ci smiled wryly. “Old Meng, even if they have bad intentions, there’s no need for them to go to such an extent. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian is a member of the Golden Dragon Palace. You can go there with peace of mind.”
Xiao Tian Ci trusted and did not doubt Duan Ling Tian at all.
“Alright.”
Old Meng felt that Xiao Tian Ci’s words made sense. In fact, he also felt similarly. He just wanted some reassurance. He did not waste time and quickly made his way to the Heaven Traversing Pagoda above the center of the sea. He was already familiar with the journey there. Previously, when the pagoda just appeared, he and the other Saints and World supreme powerhouses had gone to the pagoda but were barred from entering. At that time, he could only sigh helplessly and return. Feng Qing Yang was too strong; he could not afford to provoke Feng Qing Yang.
After speaking to Old Meng, Xiao Tian thought about it for a moment before he muttered to himself, “The Azure Cloud Saint Sect should have deactivated their Voice Transmission barrier by now, right?”
Xiao Tian Ci quickly sent a message to his old friend, a level-four supreme powerhouse who was almost as strong as a demi Saint who had a high status in the Azure Cloud Saint Sect. He greeted the other party and relayed Duan Ling Tian’s message.
“Duan Ling Tian?”
The other party gasped in disbelief. He also knew about Duan Ling Tian killing one demi Saint from the Azure Cloud Saint Sect and two demi Saints from the Fu clan. He had also heard about how Duan Ling Tian’s strength had overwhelmed that of the two Saints of the Azure Cloud Saint Sect. With Duan Ling Tian’s strength, he could easily annihilate the Azure Cloud Saint Sec.t
“Old Xiao, are you very familiar with Duan Ling Tian?” the other party asked.
Xiao Tian Ci had not contacted his old friend for many years so the other party was rather surprised by his message.
“Sort of,” Xiao Tian Ci said before he told the other party of his and the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion’s connection to Duan Ling Tian before Duan Ling Tian entered the Forbidden Realm and survived the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation.
“Old Xiao, you’re really lucky! You actually have such a connection to such a person,” the other party said enviously. He asked, “By the way, what’s the relationship between Duan Ling Tian and Duan You Wei, the demi Saint from the Duan clan governed by the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion?”
The two Saints of the Azure Cloud Saint Sect were not familiar with Duan You Wei, but he was rather familiar with her. He also knew that Han Jiang had been captured and imprisoned in the Azure Cloud Saint Sect, awaiting Duan Ling Tian’s arrival. After hearing about what happened, it was not difficult for him to figure out that Duan Ling Tian must have had a good relationship with Duan You Wei.
“Duan Ling Tian joined the Duan clan in the past and became Duan You Wei’s sworn brother,” Xiao Tian Ci replied.
In the past, Duan Ling Tian had approached Xiao Tian Ci and asked Xiao Tian Ci to look after the Duan clan. At that time, he also learned of Duan Ling Tian’s relationship with the Duan clan.
“Why are you asking about this?” Xiao Tian Ci asked curiously.
“So that’s what happened…”
The other party then recounted what happened to Xiao Tian Ci. He told Xiao Tian Ci about what happened in the Azure Cloud Saint Sect’s territory.
Since the news had yet to spread, Xiao Tian Ci was naturally unaware of it. He sighed as he muttered to himself, “It seems like he really regards Duan You Wei as his sworn sister.”
At the same time, Xiao Tian Ci decided to treat the Duan clan more kindly in the future.
