Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Millions could die as a result of the wrath of a Lord of Gods; this was not an exaggeration. Hence, Duan Ling Tian could not help but shudder upon hearing Linghu Qing Ze’s voice that was laced with killing intent.
Duan Ling Tian finally regained his senses at this moment. He had been so overwhelmed by his emotions that he had behaved irrationally. He forced himself to stay still as he watched the carriage drive away. He knew Linghu Qing Ze would not hesitate to kill him if he were to approach again. Moreover, so
many people saw him causing a commotion, even if Linghu Qing Ze killed him, the Hidden Fog Sect would have no grounds to avenge him.
“Duan Ling Tian,” a middle-aged man standing nearby said as he shook his head, “Based on your innate talent and comprehension skills, there’s no need to sacrifice your life for a woman. As the first god to become a core disciple in the Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years, your future is incomparably bright.
You’re even qualified to marry the daughters of high-ranking officials of emperor-rank forces. There’s no need for you to waste time on the Linghu clan’s Chu Yin.”
“That’s right. Elder Xue Hai Chuan, the first god to become a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect, is now married to the granddaughter of a Supreme Elder of an emperor-rank sect,” another person chimed in.
“Young Miss Chu Yin is the most beautiful woman in the Linghu clan. Her mother, the Second Madam of the Linghu clan, was known to be rebellious in her earlier years. She was also very talented, the top among her generation. At that time, even her elder brother, who was the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan
at that time, did not dare to disobey here.”
“It’s said that the Second Madam is even stronger than the former clan leader and on par was the clan’s ancestor. Her words carry a lot of weight in the clan.”
“Duan Ling Tian, Elder Qing Ze has made it clear that you don’t stand a chance with Young Miss Chu Yin. It’s best if you don’t pester her anymore. You have a bright future so don’t throw your life away for such a trivial matter.”
The onlookers advised Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian did not know whether to laugh or cry. Similar to Linghu Qing Ze, they thought he had fallen for Linghu clan’s Young Miss Chu Yin. However, he did not care to explain and left King Descending City. Since his identity had been exposed, it was no longer safe for him to stay. Now that he had left
the sect, Long Xiao might even be bold enough to try and kill him since he had tricked Long Xiao previously.
‘Based on the current situation, I can’t rush things. If Chu Yin is truly Keer, based on Elder Qing Ze’s reaction, I don’t have to be worried about her safety. I’ll slowly try to find a chance to meet her in the future. Let’s see how it goes after I return from the Divine Sanctuary. Who knows if I’ll have a breakthrough
there? Once I grow stronger, a lot of things will be easier to deal with.
With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian left King Descending City decisively.
“Grandmother Qing Ze, did something happen? Why did it take you so long to return?” the young woman who resembled Ke’er asked curiously when Linghu Qing Ze returned to the carriage.
Due to the Noise Canceling Formation and Linghu Qing Ze blocking Duan Ling Tian’s voice that had been imbued with his Divine Energy, the young woman was unaware of what had happened. She only felt the carriage bumped violently a few times.
“It’s just a small matter. I’ve already dealt with it,” Linghu Qing Ze replied with a smile on her face. A doting expression could be seen on her face as she said, “Young Miss, we’ll return now that things are settled. It wontt take long.”
The young woman was none other than Linghu Chu Yin, the most beautiful woman in the Linghu clan.
After Duan Ling Tian left, word of what happened spread like a wildfire.
“Did you hear? The prodigy from the Hidden Fog Sect, Duan Ling Tian, passed the core disciples’ test. He’s the first god to become a core disciple in 10,000 years!”
“Why did he block the Linghu clan’s carriage?”
“Theard it’s because he’s fallen in love with Young Miss Chu Yin, the most beautiful woman in the Linghu clan!”
‘It’s only natural for men to pursue beauties. With his achievements so far, he’s more than a match for Young Miss Chu Yin. It’s a pity Young Miss Chu Yin is prohibited from marrying by the Second Madam of the Linghu clan. She assigned the Black Widow, who’s infamous in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, to
stay by Miss Chu Yin’s side so men can’t approach her.”
“Black Widow? You mean Linghu Qing Ze?”
“That’s right! The eyewitnesses even said that based on her energy when she attacked Duan Ling Tian, she’s now a Lord of Gods.”
“If Linghu Qing Ze is a Lord of Gods, can you imagine what the Second Madam’s status is like for her to be able to order Linghu Qing Ze around?”
“Theard that in the past, Linghu Qing Ze was sentenced to death due to the massacre. However, she survived because the Second Madam pleaded for her life. Naturally, this is just a rumor.”
Perhaps, if it was just an ordinary man who blocked the Linghu clan’s carriage, everyone would think the man was overestimating himself. However, Duan Ling Tian was more than qualified to marry the daughter of the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan, let alone Linghu Chu Yin.
“What a pity that the Linghu clan’s top beauty is banned from marrying.”
“What a waste…”
“Theard that the Young Master of the 10,000 Devils Sect intends to ask for her hand in marriage. I guess he has no choice but to give up now.”
The incident in King Descending City became a hot topic. Most people were discussing how Duan Ling Tian had become a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect and how Linghu Chu Yin had been banned from marrying. Most people thought Duan Ling Tian, who was the first god to become a core disciple of the
Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years, was more than a match for Linghu Chu Yin. Apart from that, they thought there was nothing wrong with Duan Ling Tian pursuing a beauty. If they were in shoes, they would have done the same thing.
“Duan Ling Tian is in King Descending City?”
The elders and disciples managing the Hidden Fog Sect’s properties in King Descending City were stunned when they heard the news.
“Didnt he just become a core disciple recently? Why did he come to King Descending City?”
Those from the king-rank forces that Duan Ling Tian had visited when he was searching for Auspicious Pills were shocked as well.
“That purple-clad young man is Duan Ling Tian?”
“would’ve prepared a feast and gotten him drunk before sending my daughter to his bed if I knew he was Duan Ling Tian! What a wasted opportunity!”
“Unbelievable!”
In fact, if they had probed Duan Ling Tian with their Divine Consciousness, they would have been able to connect the dots. However, they did not dare to do such a thing when they saw his core disciple identity token. They also assumed he was a King of Gods, which meant they would be easily discovered if
they tried probing him. They might end up offending if they did such a thing. No one expected him to be the first god to become a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years.
In the Hidden Fog Sect.
News of what had happened in King Descending City finally spread to the sect. After all, there were many members of the sect in the city.
“Duan Ling Tian wants to pursue Linghu Chu Yin?!”
Tang Wu Yan felt a pang in her heart when she heard the news. It took her a while to regain her senses.
“Didn’t he say he’s unwilling to accept another partner because he’s married?” Tang Wu Yan had heard about this from her granduncle, Tang Chun.
In the end, she could not help but send a message to Duan Ling Tian and asked, “D-do you know Linghu Chu Yin?”
