Chapter 2921: The Three Powerful Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were three Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect: Nangong Xiu, the sect leader, Lin Ru, the First Guardian of the sect, and Wang Dan Feng, the Second Guardian of the sect.
At this moment, one of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes had arrived. It was none other than Wang Dan Feng!
Wang Dan Feng’s arrival caught the attention of the people from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect who were present. After regaining their senses, they greeted Wang Dan Feng respectfully.
“Guardian Dan Feng!”
As the Second Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, Wang Dan Feng was weaker than Lin Ru, the First Guardian. However, the people of the sect were more nervous around Wang Dan Feng compared to Lin Ru. One, it was due to Wang Dan Feng’s explosive temper. Two, it was due to the fact that Wang Dan Feng’s father was the Supreme Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect!
The Supreme Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. He was an important pillar of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect! Even the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had to treat him with the utmost respect.
‘Guardian Dan Feng?’ Duan Ling Tian had noticed the beautiful lady as soon as she appeared. When he heard the way the people had addressed her, it was not difficult for him to figure out the beautiful lady was Wang Dan Feng, the Second Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect! Most importantly, Wang Dan Feng was Murong Bing’s master. Wang Dan Feng was the biggest reason for his visit to the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. He had planned to give Wang Dan Feng a warning so she would not harm Murong Bing.
Wang Dan Feng was a beautiful woman who was dressed luxuriously. It was rather clear she was someone who paid attention to her appearance. She looked as though she was only around 30 years old. Although she might not look young and tender, she had a charismatic air about her. At this moment, her eyes were flashing with killing intent as she looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly.
‘It seems like she has already found out about Murong Bing and me.’ Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed imperceptibly when he saw the killing intent in her eyes. A sense of unease rose in his heart as he continued thinking to himself, ‘There’s no way she would let Murong Bing off lightly if she has found out about us. She might hesitate to act in the beginning when she thought I come from a powerful clan in the central area. However, since the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is located much closer to the Blissful Sect compared to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, I’m sure the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect has already heard about the Blissful Sect’s findings. Murong Bing… she…’ He did not dare to continue on that line of thoughts. He hastily extended his Divine Consciousness and shrouded the entire Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s estate with it. The first thing he sensed was Wang Dan Feng’s presence because Wang Dan Feng’s strength was truly outstanding. Moreover, she, as a Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes, was standing among lower rank members from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. How could she not stand out?
Duan Ling Tian focused on investigating the place with his Divine Consciousness. It did not take long before he sensed the auras of the other two Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes who were making their way to him at this moment. He was rather familiar with their auras since he had met both of them during the Alchemist Conference. The two Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes were Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru, the Sect Leader and the First Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect respectively.
It should be noted that Wang Dan Feng, Nangong Xiu, and Lin Ru could not sense Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness at all due to the differences in their strength. After all, Duan Ling Tian was now similar to a Six Combination Celestial King.
Duan Ling Tian continued to extend his Divine Consciousness in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s estate.
‘A Ten Directions Celestial Duke? He must be Wang Qiu Kuang, the Supreme Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, and Wang Dan Feng’s father!’ When Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Consciousness swept over Wang Qiu Kuang, the Supreme Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, Wang Qiu Kuang was completely clueless.
‘There!’ When Duan Ling Tian finally sensed Murong Bing’s aura, he inwardly sighed in relief. After confirming she was unharmed, he recalled his Divine Consciousness.
Wang Dan Feng who had been coldly staring at Duan Ling Tian the entire time finally spoke up when she saw a hint of fear fleeting past Duan Ling Tian’s face. “You’re Duan Ling Tian?”
“That’s right. I’m Duan Ling Tian. Pleased to meet you, Guardian Dan Feng.” Although Duan Ling Tian had come to warn Wang Dan Feng, he was still respectful toward her. After all, Wang Dan Feng was Murong Bing’s master.
The cold expression on Wang Dan Feng’s face did not ease at all even after Duan Ling Tian had bowed and greeted her. She had been furious when she learned about Duan Ling Tian’s arrival, but now that she had seen Duan Ling Tian, she had cooled down considerably. At the same time, she discreetly scanned her surroundings, looking for possible hidden powerhouses who might be protecting Duan Ling Tian.
At this moment, Tie Tai He, the Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, who was standing behind Duan Ling Tian followed suit and greeted Wang Dan Feng with a bow. “I’m Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Tie Tai He. Pleased to meet you, Guardian Dan Feng.”
Naturally, it did not escape Duan Ling Tian’s eyes that Wang Dan Feng was subtly looking for hidden powerhouses who might be guarding him. Hence, he said indifferently, “Guardian Dan Feng, you can stop looking around… Only three of us came to visit. There’s no one else around. It’s just as the Blissful Sect had said, I’m not from a powerful clan in the central area. I’m just a mere transcender from the mundane realm.” He looked at Wang Dan Feng knowingly as he added, “I’m sure you’ve heard about the results of the Blissful Sect’s investigation…”
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, various expressions flitted past Wang Dan Feng’s face. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she looked at Duan Ling Tian.
A familiar voice rang in the air at this moment. “Duan Ling Tian, how dare you lie to me!”
Duan Ling Tian saw Nangong Xiu in the distance, and Lin Ru was following closely behind Nangong Xiu. He raised an eyebrow before he greeted them. “Sect Leader Nangong, Guardian Lin Ru.”
Duan Ling Tian did not have much interaction with Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru, and there was no enmity between them. Although Nangong Xiu had sent her subordinate after him once, he understood it was out of concern for Murong Bing. Therefore, he had a rather good impression of Nangong Xiu.
As Nangong Xiu glared at Duan Ling Tian, he said with a sigh, “Sect Leader Nangong, I only lied due to the pressing situation at that time. I hope you’ll be able to understand.”
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Nangong Xiu grew even more furious. She coldly said, “You lied to me, and yet, you dare to ask for my understanding?”
“Sect Leader Nangong, can we talk about this later?” Duan Ling Tian replied bluntly with a gleam in his eyes, “I came today to challenge your Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s Supreme Guardian, Wang Qiu Kuang… We can talk about our issues later.” When he finished speaking, he instinctively turned to look at Wang Dan Feng. After all, Wang Qiu Kuang was Wang Dan Feng’s father.
“You want to challenge my father?” Wang Dan Feng did not attempt to conceal her sneer that was laden with disdain. “Without a powerful force from the central area as your support, don’t even think about leaving the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect alive!” Killing intent spilled out in waves after waves as soon as she finished speaking.
The disciples from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler standing close to Wang Dan Feng shuddered. Their expressions changed drastically as they retreated a few steps, trying to put some distance between themselves and Wang Dan Feng.
“It seems that Guardian Dan Feng doesn’t believe that I’m strong enough to challenge your father.” Duan Ling Tian was not surprised by Wang Dan Feng’s disdain. “In that case, I’ll show you that I’m capable of challenging your father!” His demeanor changed completely as soon as he finished speaking.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions rang in the air as purple energy suddenly surged out of Duan Ling Tian in waves. As soon as the purple energy surged out of his body, it seemed to turn into hundreds of thousands of purple light beams.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The three Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had not even reacted when the purple light beams shot toward Wang Dan Feng.
When Wang Dan Feng finally regained her senses, she quickly readied herself to deflect Duan Ling Tian’s attack. However, to her surprise, Duan Ling Tian did not attack her. Instead, the purple light beams had formed a cage around her, effectively trapping her. Her expression changed drastically when she realized what had happened.
Similarly, Nangong Xiu and Lin Ru’s expressions changed drastically as well when they saw this. Both of them exchanged a look.
Nangong Xiu’s voice seemed to tremble in the Voice Transmission she sent to Lin Ru. “For him to be able to act so quickly before the three of us can even react, I’m afraid he’s a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, at least…”
The people in the surroundings were equally as shocked by this turn of events.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian lifted his right hand before he suddenly fisted it. “Shrink!” As soon as he finished speaking, the purple cage that imprisoned Wang Dan Feng suddenly shone brilliantly!
