2482 Snatching Back the Estate
Since Duan Ling Tian and his companions had returned, there was no need for the Old Prophet and the others to stay in this godforsaken place.
“Let’s go! Let’s return to the Seven Absolutes Sect’s temporary estate!” Duan Ling Tian led the group to the Seven Absolutes Sect’s temporary estate that was located on a snow-capped mountain.
Their journey started smoothly. However, it did not take long before two Dog Devils appeared, salivating and staring at Ke’er, Feng Tian Wu, Han Xue Nai, and the other women. The devils’ eyes were filled with greed and lust.
“Dog Devils?” Naturally, it was easy for Duan Ling Tian to identify the devils based on their appearance. Since he had stayed in the Human-devil Clan’s estate when he was in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land for quite a while, he was privy to the matters in the Devil Clans, including the Dog-devil Clan.
Although the Dog-devil Clan could not be considered as one of the top clans in the Devil Clans, it was not entirely a clan without strength.
The two Dog Devils looked at each other and said in unison, “Old rules! Kill the men and keep the women!” After that, they moved toward Duan Ling Tian and his companions like a gust of wind, targeting the men in the group.
Chen Yi Ru scoffed when the two Dog Devils made a move. In just a blink of an eye, he moved in front of the two Dog Devils like an arrow that had been shot out, blocking the two Dog Devils’ path.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The strength of the two Dog Devils was weaker than a cultivator at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Therefore, they were frightened out of their wits when they saw someone had appeared out of thin air, staring at them like a ravenous tiger. Despite their strange appearance, they were quite intelligent. Since they could not capture the old man’s movements, they knew the old man was stronger than them.
Chen Yi Ru said reproachfully, “How dare you two monsters act recklessly in front of my master? Are you seeking death?” As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his right hand that was holding onto a saber, leaving dazzling saber rays in its wake.
Buzz!
The saber rays traveled across the sky, leaving an imperceptible crack in the void.
In the next moment, a soft noise rang in the air as the two Dog Devils were slashed to death. Their eyes were open as though they had died with dissatisfaction.
Boom!
After killing the two Dog Devils, Chen Yi Ru destroyed the two Dog Devils’ corpses with just a flick of his sleeve.
Duan Ling Tian, who was standing nearby, nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw how Chen Yi Ru had dealt with this matter.
Chen Yi Ru had always been competent. He had destroyed the two Dog Devils’ corpses after killing them to prevent Duan Si Ling from seeing the bloody scene.
As soon as Chen Yi Ru destroyed the two Dog Devils’ corpses, he detected a slight buzz of energy. He smiled coldly. “Mirror Image Dao Talisman?” Although the presence of the Mirror Image Dao Talisman meant the Dog Devils had someone supporting them, he was not afraid. After all, the person supporting the two Dog Devils might not be stronger than him. Even if that person was stronger, so what? His master had strength comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Apart from that, his master’s wife had killed two Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials who were wielding Celestial Supreme Treasures in just a blink of an eye. Her strength was comparable to Golden Celestials in the Devata Realms.
He was aware of Ke’er’s strength since Duan Ling Tian had previously told him about the celestial ranking in Devata Realms. Golden Celestials were ranked above Heaven Celestials. Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials’ strength was comparable to Heaven Celestials at the peak of their strength. After a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial successfully passed the Bodiless Celestial Tribulation and ascended to a Devata Realm, he would become a Golden Celestial.
Chen Yi Ru thought to himself confidently, ‘Even if the powerhouse supporting the two Dog Devils is a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, he’ll certainly die if he comes to look for trouble with us!’ He continued thinking to himself, ‘However, master said it’s unlikely that there are Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials in the Devil Clans.’ Nevertheless, he was not worried even if there were Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestials in the Devil Clans, they were no threat after all.
Han Xue Nai rolled her eyes and smiled when she noticed the aura of the Mirror Image Dao Talisman. “They have the Mirror Image Dao Talisman? I’m interested to see whether the person backing them would dare to come looking for us.”
“Probably not. With the strength Senior Chen Yi Ru displayed, the average devils would be frightened when they see it. It’s unlikely they’ll try to seek revenge from Senior Chen Yi Ru,” Nangong Yi replied.
Chen Yi Ru was a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial after all. Ordinary devils would not dare to look for trouble with him.
The appearance of the two Dog Devils was just a slight disturbance to Duan Ling Tian and his companions. After that, they encountered a few groups of devils who tried to look for trouble with them during their journey, but they were all killed by Chen Yi Ru.
The strongest among the devils was only at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Let alone a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial like Chen Yi Ru, even the Nangong twins could easily deal with these devils.
It did not take long before Duan Ling Tian and his companions arrived at their destination, the Seven Absolutes Sect’s temporary estate on a nameless snow-capped mountain. “We’ve arrived!”
At this moment, the Old Prophet spoke up, “I received news from the Red Dust Progeny a year ago that our temporary estate had been taken over by a group of devils.” He was not worried about this since he had been informed by Nangong Yi that Duan Ling Tian’s strength was comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. When he first learned about Duan Ling Tian’s strength, he was thoroughly shocked. After all, Duan Ling Tian’s strength was comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial and Feng Qing Yang, but Duan Ling Tian did not even obtain the inheritance from a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. He was overjoyed when he thought about this since this meant the Seven Absolutes Sect would rise to the top again and regain its glory from the era of Feng Qing Yang.
The devils who had occupied the Seven Absolutes Sect’s temporary estate were only a group of Boar Devils. The strongest among them was only at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Chen Yi Ru killed all of them on his own.
Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian and his companions successfully snatched their temporary estate back.
…
Dong! Dong! Dong!
“Please spare my life, sir! Spare my life, sir!”
In a spacious great hall, a devil with the head of a boar and human body kneeled on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly even though his forehead was drenched in blood. It seemed as though he was not aware of it as he continued to kowtow and begged for mercy.
A purple-clad young man sat on the highest seat in the great hall. An old man stood respectfully behind him. The purple-clad young man was none other than Duan Ling Tian.
Chen Yi Ru had intentionally spared this Boar Devil’s life earlier under Duan Ling Tian’s order.
At this moment, the Boar Devil was still kowtowing and begging for mercy. His eyes flashed with fear that came from his heart and soul when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. Chen Yi Ru was already so strong, but he was so respectful toward Duan Ling Tian and addressed Duan Ling Tian as master. Chen Yi Ru had effortlessly killed all the Boar Devils, how terrifying would his master be then?
As Duan Ling Tian stared at the Boar Devil, he said indifferently, “Tell me what I want to know, and I’ll let you go.”
Upon hearing this, the Boar Devil realized his life had been spared because Duan Ling Tian had questions to ask him.
“Sir, please ask away! I’ll tell you everything I know!” The Boar Devil replied deferentially, he had finally stopped kowtowing and begging for mercy.
“Since the Devil Clans invaded the Upper Province of Dao Martial Saint Land, the Upper Province has been in chaos… I want to know if Devil Clans or the humans have the upper hand now?” Duan Ling Tian asked indifferently.
The Boar Devil was originally worried and convinced that Duan Ling Tian would ask him some tricky questions. Therefore, he was stunned when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s question.
