Chapter 2300 Cleansing the Wandering Saint Palace
The voice of Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, carried Saint Origin. For this reason, his voice drowned out all the discussions on the scene. It even drowned out the thunder from the Tribulation Clouds that were brewing in the sky.
“Palace Master Yuwen, quickly kill him! Are you going to help this human become an Eminent Celestial?”
Many people could hear the exasperation and desperation in Shi Nan Feng’s voice. It was not difficult for them to figure out the reason why.
“The Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace probably didn’t expect Duan Ling Tian would be so strong. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said he would kill Duan Ling Tian if he steps foot out of the Wandering Saint Palace!”
“Now that he sees Duan Ling Tian is much stronger than him, he must be feeling anxious. His words have just made himself an enemy out of Duan Ling Tian after all!”
“He knows he’s not a match for Duan Ling Tian so he wants to borrow Palace Master Yuwen’s hands to get rid of Duan Ling Tian!”
Everyone, including the people from Great Spirit Palace, could guess Shi Nan Feng’s thoughts. Based on the strength Duan Ling Tian had displayed, it was clear among the people present on the scene that only Yuwen Hao Chen was a match for Duan Ling Tian!
After Shi Nan Feng’s outburst, everyone’s eyes shifted simultaneously to Yuwen Hao Chen. They were all waiting for Yuwen Hao Chen’s response.
Yuwen Hao Chen remained expressionless.
Duan Ling Tian seemed very calm as well. He did not seem bothered with Shi Nan Feng’s outburst. Instead, he responded to Yuwen Hao Chen’s words. “Concealed it very well? I don’t know what you mean Palace Master Yuwen. What are you trying to imply?”
Yuwen Hao Chen’s expression darkened when he saw Duan Ling Tian feigning ignorance. “You’re the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion but disguised yourself as a Human-Devil to infiltrate into my Wandering Saint Palace. You even became our Wandering Saint Palace’s Vice Palace Master… Didn’t you conceal yourself very well!? Three years ago, when I was about to attack you, you pretended you weren’t a match for me… Isn’t that also concealing yourself?” His tone was clear and concise when he spoke. Words flowed out of his mouth eloquently.
“Now that I hear Palace Master Yuwen’s words… Indeed. It seems like I’m really adept at concealing myself,” Duan Ling Tian said with a small smile. His expression was indifferent as though he was not bothered with Yuwen Hao Chen’s words at all. The first few sentences from Yuwen Hao Chen might be true but the final part of his words were his own assumptions. Nonetheless, Duan Ling Tian did not intend to explain himself…
What was there to explain?
Would Yuwen Hao Chen still listen to his explanation?
Three years ago, Duan Ling Tian was definitely not a match for Yuwen Hao Chen. He had not even broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, let alone comprehend heaven and earth. Shockingly, at this moment, he had not only become a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, but his comprehension of heaven and earth had also reached its limit! Furthermore, he had managed to attract the Celestial Ascension Tribulation from Yuwen Hao Chen! This clearly showed his comprehension of heaven and earth was not inferior to Yuwen Hao Chen! For this reason, he was not afraid even if he had to battle Yuwen Hao Chen at this moment.
When Yuwen Hao Chen heard Duan Ling Tian’s words and saw his indifferent attitude, he felt as though he had been taken lightly. As the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, how could he endure such impertinent behavior? So, when he spoke again, his tone had turned even colder. “You’re indeed calm!”
When the crowd heard Yuwen Hao Chen’s icy voice, they felt shivers running up their spines. It felt as though winter had arrived!
As soon as Yuwen Hao Chen finished speaking, his Saint Origin roiled under the surface of his body, strongly resonating with heaven and earth. It seemed as though it would surge out of his body at a moment’s notice. His Saint Origin was like a dragon that had been chained, struggling and waiting for its release.
Lord Palace Master is going to make his move!’ Almost everyone from the Wandering Saint Palace had the same thought in their minds.
At this moment, the eyes of Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, shone brightly. He would be most happy to see Yuwen Hao Chen attacking Duan Ling Tian. He fervently wished Yuwen Hao Chen could kill Duan Ling Tian. After all, if Duan Ling Tian did not die, he and the Great Spirit Palace would definitely meet with a catastrophe.
Once Duan Ling Tian dies, as long as I give Yuwen Hao Chen some benefits, these people can be given to me as well.’ Shi Nan Feng’s gaze landed on Ke’er and the other two ladies, his eyes shining with perverse desire.
It was not just Shi Nan Feng and the people from Great Spirit Palace, but the others from the Three Palaces and Six Halls were also hoping Yuwen Hao Chen would kill Duan Ling Tian. After all, Duan Ling Tian was a human who was about to become an Eminent Celestial! If Duan Ling Tian successfully became an Eminent Celestial, it would not be good for the Human-Devil clan and the rest of the Devil Clans.
Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, seemed as though he was about to make his move at any time. However, Duan Ling Tian, Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, did not seem to take Yuwen Hao Chen seriously at all.
At this moment, the atmosphere was tense. The tension felt palpable to the people in the surroundings. A great battle was on the verge of breaking out!
In the distance, in the compound of Yuwen Hao Chen’s mansion.
Yun Fu Ye, a Vice Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace and Yuwen Hao Chen’s eldest direct disciple, had an expression of horror and disbelief on his face. He could not accept that Duan Ling Tian had also attracted the Celestial Ascension Tribulation and was about to become an Eminent Celestial.
“This… how’s this possible!?”
Based on Yun Fu Ye’s knowledge, ten years ago, this human Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion was only a weak small-time martial art practitioner who had not even broken through to the Saint Celestial Stage. However, currently, he had become as strong as his master!
Standing next to Yun Fu Ye, Huang Wen Jing stared at the purple figure in the distance. It was rare to see an expression of surprise on her usually expressionless face. ‘He…’ She did not expect this man to be so strong. ‘He actually concealed his strength three years ago…’
Three years ago, Huang Wen Jing witnessed her master and Duan Ling Tian sparring with her own eyes. That was why she was convinced Duan Ling Tian was not her master’s match at all. For this reason, she also thought Duan Ling Tian had hidden his true strength.
Gan Ru Yan was dumbfounded. ‘He has become so strong?’
On the other hand, Ke’er and Duan Si Ling who were standing next to Gan Ru Yan did not seem shocked at all. They only calmly watched on as though they had expected this.
Peng Lai who was previously uncertain of what to expect was shocked and elated when he saw how strong Duan Ling Tian was. Duan Ling Tian had even attracted the Celestial Ascension Tribulation. “Master’s strength…” His master was really extraordinary! It seemed like the miracle he had fervently hoped for was not far off.
At this moment, Yuwen Hao Chen said pointedly, “Duan Ling Tian! Three years ago, I made a mistake by allowing you to join our Wandering Saint Palace and appointing you as a Vice Palace Master. Today, I, Yuwen Hao Chen, will kill you to cleanse my Wandering Saint Palace!” As soon as Yuwen Hao Chen finished speaking, Saint Origin surged out of his body immediately and pierced the sky. It swept out like a dragon that had finally gained freedom after being shackled for a long time.
Swoosh!
Meanwhile, a gust of wind blew past.
People with a lower cultivation base saw Yuwen Hao Chen disappear into thin air, whereas people with a higher cultivation base could faintly catch Yuwen Hao Chen’s afterimage as he moved. Their naked eyes could not catch up with his speed at all.
The only people who could clearly see Yuwen Hao Chen’s movements were Shi Nan Feng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, and Duan Ling Tian.
Naturally, this group of people did not include the two figures hidden above the Tribulation Clouds, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan and his master. Not only did both of them clearly see Yuwen Hao Chen’s movements, but they could see it even more clearly than Duan Ling Tian and Shi Nan Feng!
“Human?” The grey-clad old man, the master of the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan frowned.
Underneath the Tribulation Clouds.
In Duan Ling Tian’s field of vision, Yuwen Hao Chen moved toward him as fast as a bullet. At the same, he could see the Saint Origin that surrounded Yuwen Hao Chen’s body was like a revolving dragon. Its connection with heaven and earth was extremely strong, pushing Yuwen Hao Chen toward him.
“This speed…” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes when he saw Yuwen Hao Chen was about to reach him. Boom!
At the same time, the Saint Origin that was roiling in Duan Ling Tian’s body surged out as well. It resonated strongly with heaven and earth. He quickly cast his movement Divine Ability. “Golden Crow Wings!”
As soon as Duan Ling Tian cast his movement Divine Ability, the Golden Crow’s Wings, the Saint Origin formed a pair of flaming wings on his back. In just an instant, he disappeared before everyone’s eyes as well.
As Yuwen Hao Chen chased after Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian seemed to have turned into a Three-Legged Golden Crow with the flaming wings at his back.
