Chapter 2946 - Not Worth It


Chapter 2946: Not Worth It

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“The power of the law…” The Chaos Divine Flame’s words had broadened Duan Ling Tian’s horizons. His knowledge was limited to various low-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities in Devata Realms. He did not know much about Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities above the king grade. The Chaos Divine Flame’s words had truly opened the door to a new world for him.

“Boy, you still haven’t told me… Where did you find this first-form Profound Divine Metal? Did you see anything else at the place where you found it?” the Chaos Divine Flame asked, interrupting Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts.

When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he looked at Hu Lie calmly as he replied to the Chaos Divine Flame inwardly, “It’s given to me by the person standing in front of me.”

“What?!” The Chaos Divine Flame was shocked. It said mockingly, “Is this person stupid? He gave you a Profound Divine Metal? Although a first-form Profound Divine Metal is useless, he would be able to transform it into a second-form Profound Divine Metal if he lets it absorb another first-form Profound Divine Metal. A second-form Profound Divine Metal can be used as a soul defense Celestial Weapon, after all!” A hint of exasperation could be heard in its tone when it spoke. “This man is really a fool. He actually gave away a valuable treasure like the Profound Divine Metal!”

“Although the first-form Profound Divine Metal is a treasure, it won’t be considered a treasure unless one recognizes its value,” Duan Ling Tian replied, “All he knows is even a Ten Directions Celestial Duke couldn’t leave a scratch on the stone. He only knows it’s special, but he doesn’t know what it is…”

“You’re really lucky…” The Chaos Divine Flame sighed. Then, it fell silent as though it did not wake up at all.

“Young Master Duan…” Hu Lie was laden with anxiety as he watched Duan Ling Tian staring at and playing with the strange stone in his hand. Based on the attitude of Huang Jian Long, the Young Master of the City Governor’s estate in Passage City, as long as Duan Ling Tian wanted his life, he would definitely die.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian casually put the first-form Profound Divine Metal away before he glanced at Hu Lie indifferently. “I’ll accept it. This makes us even now.”

“Thank you, Young Master Duan, thank you.” Hu Lie was overwhelmed with relief when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. After bidding farewell to Huang Jia Long and Xue Feng, he hurriedly took his leave. He truly regretted being greedy and promising to help Li Wei kill Duan Ling Tian.

‘Although I don’t know what the stone is, it’s definitely something extraordinary since even Ten Directions Celestial Duke couldn’t leave a scratch on it with a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon.’ Hu Lie could not help but feel slightly upset over the loss of the stone. He prayed inwardly that the stone was useless.

After Hu Lie left, Duan Ling Tian briefly looked at Li Wei’s corpse on the ground before he shifted his eyes to Huang Jia Long and solemnly thanked him. “Young Master Huang, thank you.”

If Huang Jia Long did not ask Xue Feng to take action, Duan Ling Tian would have had to use his consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. The consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon could only be used three times. He had already used it once, and if he were to use it again earlier, he would only be left with one more use. He was grateful that he did not have to use the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon earlier.

“Brother Duan, you must be joking! I saw everything clearly earlier. When Li Wei tried to attack you earlier, your expression was extremely calm. It’s obvious you didn’t feel threatened by him at all.” Huang Jia Long shook his head and smiled. “If I’m not mistaken, you have someone secretly protecting you, right? I’m just being meddlesome by asking Elder Feng for help. It’s not worth mentioning at all. Moreover, there’s no need for the powerhouse protecting you to make a move on someone like Li Wei…”

After Huang Jia Long finished speaking, he regarded his surroundings with a respectful and cautious expression on his face. He had seen how composed and fearless Duan Ling Tian was earlier when faced with Li Wei. It was only natural that he assumed Duan Ling Tian was protected by a powerhouse. Moreover, since Xue Feng could not detect the presence of the powerhouse guarding Duan Ling Tian, it meant that the powerhouse had to be a One Basic Celestial King, at least, since Xue Feng was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. He would never be able to imagine that Duan Ling Tian was fearless not because there was a powerhouse protecting him but because of his consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon that could grant him the strength of an ordinary Celestial Lord.

“Anyway, there’s no arguing that you saved me this time, Young Master Huang.” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly. Naturally, he did correct Huang Jia Long’s misunderstanding. He did not want to reveal the existence of his consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, after all. He had even deliberately used the power of the second-form Profound Divine Metal to conceal the presence of the consumable Royal Grade when he had taken it out earlier. This was so if there were any Celestial Kings who instinctively kept their Divine Consciousness active, they would not be able to sense the consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon in his hand with their Divine Consciousness.

The Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation was one of the few Celestial Kings in the Supporting Fall Nation. It would be troublesome if the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation discovered the fact that Duan Ling Tian possessed a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. Since he was a Celestial King, his Divine Consciousness could easily encompass half of the Supporting Fall Nation’s capital. Moreover, the street they were standing on was rather close to the Imperial Palace. This meant they were in the range of the emperor’s Divine Consciousness.

At this moment, Huang Jia Long glanced at Li Wei’s corpse on the ground and said through Voice Transmission, “Brother Duan, I’m afraid we will have to go see His Majesty… I’m sure His Majesty has already discovered what happened here through his Divine Consciousness. Even if he didn’t, it’s still better for us to inform him about this. Although Li Wei is Imperial Concubine Lan’s biological brother, with your strength and my status, His Majesty probably wouldn’t punish us. More importantly, we have a good reason for killing him.”

…

In a hall of the inner palace in the Imperial Palace of the Supporting Fall Nation.

“This…” Hu Lin Yi, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation, was sitting on the throne in the hall. A frown could be seen on his face when he looked at the corpse in front of him. It was clear he was still unaware of the corpse’s identity.

“Your Majesty, please have a look at his face,” Huang Jia Long said with his head lowered. Then, he waved his hand, and an invisible energy turned the corpse over.

“Li Wei?!” Hu Lin Yi’s expression changed dramatically when he saw the corpse’s face. Was this not his favorite concubine, Imperial Concubine Lan’s eldest brother?

At the same time, a hurried voice rang from outside the palace hall. “Your Majesty, Your Majesty…”

Soon after, a graceful and noble woman ran into the palace hall with a few maidservants in tow.

“Your Majesty, my elder brother’s Soul Pearl is broken. You must help me find out what has happened to him! I…” the beautiful woman cried out as she held a shattered Soul Pearl in her hand. She trailed off, stunned, when she saw the corpse on the ground.

“Big brother!” The beautiful woman, Imperial Concubine Lan, wailed as her expression changed. She ran to the corpse, sobbing hysterically. She was inconsolable as her tears fell like a torrent of rain

When Imperial Concubine Lan saw the two young men and an old man standing next to her brother’s corpse, she understood what had happened immediately. She knew then that it was nigh impossible for her to avenge her eldest brother. Therefore, even if she loathed these men to the core, she knew she would have no choice but to bury the hatred in the depth of her heart.

“Jia Long, what’s going on?” Hu Lin Yi looked at Huang Jia Long pointedly.

“Your Majesty, Li Wei…” Huang Jia Long recounted what had happened. He also told Hu Lin Yi about Li Wei hiring outside help to kill Duan Ling Tian. He did not hide the reason Li Wei had wanted to kill Duan Ling Tian and also told Hu Lin Yi that Xue Feng was the one who killed Li Wei.

Hu Lin Yi looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked in a deep voice, “Duan Ling Tian, are you the one who killed Li Hao?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded with a calm expression on his face. He was neither humble nor arrogant.

“Why did you kill him?” Hu Lin Yi asked.

“I have no quarrel with him. However, as soon as we met for the first time, he gave me two choices: either I ruin my face or die.” Then, Duan Ling Tian asked lightly, “What would you have done, Your Majesty, if you were forced to choose between those two options?”

“That a*shole!” Hu Lin Yi cursed immediately as he flicked his sleeve angrily.

“Your Majesty…” At the same time, Huang Jia Long sent a Voice Transmission to Hu Lin Yi. “Li Hao is far stronger than the One Basic Celestial Duke next to Duan Ling Tian. Elder Feng hadn’t appeared when Li Wei tried to kill Duan Ling Tian earlier, but Duan Ling Tian remained calm the entire time. It’s clear he was not afraid at all…” He no longer said anything else after saying these things. He did not explain further because he knew Hu Lin Yi would be able to guess the meaning behind his words.

‘It seems like someone who’s a Celestial King, at least, is protecting him. Moreover, he’s not even 100 years old, but he’s invincible among those who are weaker than Celestial Dukes. With his talent, the Three Sects and Two Clans would definitely scramble to recruit him after he comes out from the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. No matter which sect or clan he chooses to join, he would be highly appreciated. Whether it’s because of the powerhouse protecting him or the sect and clan he joins in the future, it’s not worth it to hold him accountable for Li Hao and Li Wei’s deaths!’ With these thoughts in mind, Hu Lin Yi quickly and decisively made up his mind.
