4591 Killing Demi Saints Again
“Where’s Zhao An Yi?”
Faced with Duan Ling Tian’s question, Guo Lin smiled bitterly and replied, “When junior uncle entered the Heaven Traversing Pagoda, he was injured. He’s now recuperating. However, he did tell me to summon if you want to see him, Lord Duan.”
Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian muttered under his breath, “He entered the pagoda? Didn’t he say he was not going to enter for the time being when he went to the pagoda with Old Meng from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion? Why did he suddenly change his mind?”
Guo Lin smiled wryly upon hearing these words. He knew how much Zhao An Yi regretted not entering the Heaven Traversing Pagoda at that time.
“Lord Duan, when my junior uncle heard that the first three people to enter the pagoda were rewarded by heaven by having the difficulty of the tests reduced, he was filled with regrets. Out of frustration, he decided to enter the pagoda.”
Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said with a smile, “I see. Well, he can’t be blamed for it. After all, heaven didn’t announce that the first three people to enter the pagoda would be rewarded. There’s no need to summon him. I only came for those two people. Have you captured them?”
“Yes. I’ll bring them here now,” Guo Lin said before he left.
In just a short moment, Guo Lin returned with two people, who looked very weak. They were clearly seriously injured. These two people were Han Jiang and Tuoba Liancheng, the two demi Saints who helped the demi Saint from the Fu clan kill Duan You Wei.
The Azure Cloud Saint Sect deliberately injured them so it would be easier for the demi Saint of the sect to keep an eye on them and prevent them from escaping.
Guo Lin, as one of the two Saints of the Azure Cloud Saint Sect, naturally would not condescend to keep an eye on the two of them all the time.
“Lord Duan!”
Han Jiang and Tuoba Lian Cheng fell to their knees when they saw Duan Ling Tian, trembling violently as they spoke.
“Lord Duan, I plead guilty! Please spare my life. I promise to serve you for the rest of my life if you show mercy!”
“Lord Duan, spare my life! I promise to serve you like a slave, and I will obey you in everything in the future!”
The duo was at their wit’s end. This was the only thing they could do to ensure their survival. They prayed fervently that the person in front of them would find value in them and spare them.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian smiled contemptuously when he heard their words. With his current strength, let alone demi Saints, even Saints were willing to serve him. He did not waste time and quickly took their lives.
The duo’s spatial rings self-destructed after their deaths. Although Duan Ling Tian could force them to remove their ownership of the rings before their deaths, he did not bother to do so. He did not think they had anything of value in their spatial rings, after all.
After their deaths, the duo only left behind two Supreme Powerhouse Divinities, which Duan Ling Tian quickly took away.
Before leaving, Duan Ling Tian glanced at Guo Lin and said, “In the future, take care of the Duan clan.”
Without a demi Saint, the Duan clan must have had a tough time. However, if the Azure Cloud Saint Sect protected the clan, the clan would definitely thrive just like when Duan Yo Wei was alive.
Duan Ling Tian knew the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion would also take good care of the Duan clan. However, he wanted the clan to be better so he asked Guo Lin to take care of the Duan clan as well.
“Yes, Lord Duan,” Guo Lin replied respectfully. Then, he said, “Not too long ago, my junior uncle and I ordered our subordinates to take good care of the Duan clan in the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion’s territory. In fact, I personally visited the Duan clan and told them to look for me in the Azure Cloud Saint Sect if they need help in the future.”
Guo Lin naturally would not let go of a chance to curry favor with Duan Ling Tian. Although the Duan clan was not in the Azure Cloud Saint Sect’s territory, he was very willing to help the Duan clan. In fact, he was planning to invite the Duan clan to move to the Azure Cloud Saint Sect’s territory. The sect was willing to help the Duan clan become even more glorious than it was in the past.
“Alright. If you do well, you’ll definitely be rewarded in the future,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod.
Upon hearing this, Guo Lin’s smile widened. This was exactly what he wanted. A promise like that from a level-seven supreme powerhouse was akin to a life-saving charm.
Guo Lin knew that more and more Saints and World supreme powerhouses would obtain the Heaven Protection Talisman in the Heaven Traversing Pagoda now that multiple entrances had appeared. In the future, there would be more level-seven supreme powerhouses as well.
Guo Lin knew that Zhao An Yi was weaker than Meng Han from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. Even if Zhao An Yi successfully obtained the Heaven Protection Talisman, Zhao An Yi would not dare to recklessly face the Fatal Heavenly Tribulation yet.
Currently, the Azure Cloud Saint Sect, a saint-rank force, still had a high status in the Outer Boundary. After all, there was only one level-seven supreme powerhouse from the Outer Boundary. However, as more and more level-seven supreme powerhouses appeared, the status of the sect would drop more and more. Who knew if the sect would be targeted at that time? As such, it was beneficial for the sect to have a good relationship with Duan Ling Tian.
…
After leaving the Azure Cloud Saint Sect, Duan Ling Tian was not in a hurry to return to the God Defying World. Instead, he retraced his footsteps back to the Crimson Demon Ridge where he had first arrived when he came to the Outer Boundary. There were many people who helped him along the way, and there were also those who targeted him. Now that he had the strength, he was going to repay the kindness and seek revenge accordingly.
Those people in the past who knew Duan Ling Tian were shocked when they found out that Duan Ling Tian was the second level-seven supreme powerhouse after the historical gap mentioned in the heavenly text. Although they had already suspected it, they were still shocked.
Needless to say, those who had helped Duan Ling Tian were naturally delighted. On the contrary, those who had enmity with Duan Ling Tian were in despair. They regretted offending him in the past; they regretted even more that they did not kill him in the past.
Duan Ling Tian spent some time dealing with those people. When he was finally done, he returned to the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion.
