Chapter 2502 Departure From The Saint Province Realm
It had been three whole days. All possibilities, conceivable and inconceivable, had crossed Duan Ling Tian’s mind.
Ke’er had been forced to leave, and his family and friends had been taken away. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Duan Ling Tian. However, he knew he could not afford to wallow in despair or agony, it was not beneficial to the situation. The only thing he could do now was to bring his emotions under control and quickly increase his strength. When he was strong enough, he would be able to make his way to the Divine Offering Land and save Ke’er’, his family, and friends from Yun Qing Yan. As he looked at the azure sky, he muttered to himself, “Ke’er, I won’t make you wait for a long time!”
Soon after, Duan Ling Tian flew into the sky, leaving the place as though he was free of troubles. Naturally, this was just a facade. He was leaving the Lower Province for the Upper Province.
…
In the northern region of the Upper Province. On a snow-capped mountain where the temporary estate of Seven Absolutes Sect was located.
Upon Duan Ling Tian’s return, he saw a solitary figure standing on a mountain. He quickly flashed next to the figure.
“Zhang Yi!”
Yun Qing Yan did not capture Zhang Yi. Duan Ling Tian was not surprised by this, after all, he did not see Zhang Yi among the prisoners. It was obvious Yun Qing Yan had carefully selected his prisoners. Yun Qing Yan had only selected those who were very close to him. He had only gotten to know Zhang Yi in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone, and this was Zhang Yi’s first trip to the Saint Province Realm. Therefore, it wasn’t strange that Yun Qing Yan did not capture him.
“Duan Ling Tian?” The gloom on Zhang Yi’s face disappeared immediately when he saw Duan Ling Tian. Then, he said anxiously, “Duan Ling Tian, t-they’ve… They’ve all been taken away. That guy is extremely powerful. I-I think he’s definitely not inferior to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!” He could not conceal the terror on his face when he recalled the green-clad young man whom he had met a few days ago. He had remembered the scene vividly, he had felt like an ant before the green-clad young man. Although the green-clad young man did not target him, he knew very well that if the green-clad young man so wished, he would die with just a thought.
“Mm, I know.” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes and nodded. Naturally, he knew who Zhang Yi was talking about. Before Zhang Yi could respond, he said, “Let’s return to the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone and head to Yan Huang Realm.”
“But… But the others…” Zhang Yi was taken aback when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He found Duan Ling Tian’s reaction hard to believe. After all, Duan Ling Tian did not seem to react even though his daughter had been captured. He repeated himself, “Duan Ling Tian, even your daughter and Lady Tian Wu were forcibly taken away…”
“I know,” Duan Ling Tian nodded before he said, “Let’s go to the Beyond Secret Heaven Zone!” Without waiting for Zhang Yi’s reply, he lifted his hand and brought Zhang Yi with him to the entrance of the Beyond Secret Heaven Zone that was located somewhere in the northern region. He swiftly flew like a gust of wind to the entrance.
During the journey, Zhang Yi finally discovered something was amiss. “Duan Ling Tian…” He had many questions hanging on the tip of his tongue, but when he saw the empty look in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes, he decided to bite his tongue and swallow the questions. He saw no emotions in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes as though he had lost his soul. He was certain something must have happened.
“We’re here.” In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian had brought Zhang Yi to the entrance of the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone that was located in a snow valley that was shrouded by thick fog. A few wooden houses stood in the snowy valley. It looked no different from when Duan Ling Tian last left it. It seemed like nobody had come after they had left.
“Let’s go!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed as he looked at the black hole in mid-air.
Just as Duan Ling Tian was about to step into the black hole, Zhang Yi called out, “Duan Ling Tian!”
Duan Ling Tian came to halt and turned to look at Zhang Yi skeptically. “What? What is it?” He did not know why Zhang Yi had called out to him.
“We might not end up in the same spot after entering the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone,” Zhang Yi replied, “So we should find a place to rendezvous, right?” He was not worried that Duan Ling Tian would not be able to find the point of entrance and exit to Yan Huang Realm. With Duan Ling Tian’s power, he could easily find someone to lead him there.
“Right. I forgot about that.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “How about this? We’ll meet up at the point of entrance and exit of Yan Huang Realm in the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone… Anyone who arrives first will wait for the other person there, what do you think?”
“Alright.” Zhang Yi nodded.
As soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian disappeared in just a blink of an eye into the black hole.
Zhang Yi saw a ripple in Duan Ling Tian’s wake after Duan Ling Tian had entered the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. “It seems like he’s in a rush…” Although Zhang Yi did not know why Duan Ling Tian was in such a rush, he followed suit anyway.
Duan Ling Tian was in a rush before he did not know when he would ascend to a Devata Realm. It was beyond his control when he would have to ascend. He would have to wait for the Celestial Ascension Force to come before he could ascend to a Devata Realm and become a Celestial. He had no way of getting any stronger in the Saint Province Realm, and he was in a rush to get stronger due to Yun Qing Yan.
Duan Ling Tian thought he might be able to find new ways to raise his strength in a large mundane realm like Yan Huang Realm. Moreover, he could also find a way to return to earth where he was from in his past life. If it was not because of earth, he might not have necessarily chosen to go to Yan Huang Realm. After all, there were another 3 large mundane realms. Those three mundane realms were not inferior to Yan Huang Realm.
‘The Devil Clans, including their Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, will definitely be terrified of Ke’er’s power after she killed the clan leader of the dragon clan who was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Under these circumstances, even if they don’t return to the Land of Exile, they still wouldn’t dare to act recklessly unless they find that she’s no longer in the Saint Province Realm.’ Duan Ling Tian had thought about this before leaving the Saint Province Realm. The Saint Province Realm was his home in this life, therefore, he did not want it to be plunged into chaos. He did not deal with the Devil Clans first due to the existence of a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the Devil Clans. He would not be able to kill the Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial without Ke’er. He could only hope Ke’er demonstration of strength in the dragon clan would serve as a deterrent to the Devil Clans.
Indeed. Many powerhouses had heard about the incident in the dragon clan. For this reason, they issued an order to the lesser devils in the clans to not act recklessly or slaughter humans in the Saint Province Realm.
For a while, the Saint Province Realm’s peace was temporarily restored with devils and humans living in harmony.
However, this was only the calm before the storm since it was only a temporary solution. Once the Devil Clans found out Ke’er was not around, they would certainly continue their effort to conquer the Saint Province Realm!
