Chapter 3733 Returning to the Hidden Fog Sect
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Ling Tian’s Little World held important secrets such as the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements. It was likely he would die if the secrets were exposed. After all, even supreme powerhouses could not
resist the temptation of the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements. Although those two things were useless to supreme powerhouses, it was not impossible for supreme powerhouses to covet those things
since they could give them to their descendants.
When Linghu Huan agreed to enter the Hidden Fog Sect on their own, Duan Ling Tian naturally heaved a huge sigh of relief inwardly.
For the remainder of the journey, Duan Ling Tian sat cross-legged and rested.
Half a day passed in just a blink of an eye.
“We’ve arrived.”
Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes when he heard Linghu Huan’s voice. He looked outside and discovered the flying ship was approaching the Hidden Fog Sect’s estate.
At the same time, Linghu Heng opened his eyes and rose to his feet. His eyes flashed brightly for a moment on his expressionless face.
Linghu Huan solemnly said, “Kid, we’ll turn invisible and follow you into the sect. You’ll have to lead the way. Otherwise, we’ll be detected by the Hidden Fog Sect’s Sect Guarding Formation. Formation aside, no one will
be able to detect our presence unless they’re a Lord of Gods or stronger.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded. He had been wondering how the duo would sneak into the Hidden Fog Sect undetected earlier. Even if the duo were Lords of Gods, the Hidden Fog Sect’s Sect Guarding Formation that had
been passed down for generations was rather powerful. After listening to Linghu Yuan, he realized that the duo would be able to bypass the detection from the Formation as long as he entered first with his identity
token.
After they disembarked from the flying ship and Linghu Huan put away the flying ship, Duan Ling Tian watched as the two brothers’ bodies rippled like water before they turned translucent and completely turned
invisible.
‘The law of water?’ With this, Duan Ling Tian could tell the duo had used the law of water to conceal themselves.
“Now go. Don’t look back to avoid suspicion. We’ll be following closely behind you.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded before he made his way into the Hidden Fog Sect’s estate. He easily passed through the Sect Guarding Formation that protected the periphery of the estate with his core disciple’s identity
token. In just a moment, he returned to his courtyard in the cultivation ground for core disciples.
At this time, rumors had been spreading about Duan Ling Tian’s absence in the Hidden Fog Sect due to a lack of news about him. Moreover, many people knew Long Xiao had gone to King Descending City to search for
Duan Ling Tian. However, only a few people knew why Long Xiao was looking for Duan Ling Tian. Hence, Duan Ling Tian attracted everyone’s attention as soon as he appeared.
“It’s Duan Ling Tian!”
“Duan Ling Tian has returned?!”
Duan Ling Tian smirked inwardly. ‘If I’m not wrong, Long Xiao should show up soon.’
Before Duan Ling Tian returned to the Hidden Fog Sect, he had received a message from Wu Feng telling him that Long Xiao had gone to King Descending City to look for him after receiving news that he was in King
Descending City.
Just as Duan Ling Tian expected, not much time had passed before Long Xiao came looking for him.
“Duan Ling Tian!” Long Xiao’s furious voice resounded throughout the core disciple’s cultivation ground.
One after another, the core disciples of the Hidden Fog Sect flew into the air.
“Isn’t that Senior Brother Long Xiao’s voice?”
“Yes.”
“| heard that he went to King Descending City to search for Duan Ling Tian previously. It seems like Duan Ling Tian has returned.”
“That’s right. I heard some people saw Duan Ling Tian earlier!”
It did not take long before Long Xiao appeared as well. His expression was dark as he glared at Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard with a vicious gaze. His Divine Energy seemed as though it was going to burst forth at any
movement.
Duan Ling Tian calmly flew into the air and looked at Long Xiao from a distance with a faint smile on his face. He asked nonchalantly, “Senior Brother Long Xiao, what’s the matter?”
“After hiding for so long, you’re finally willing to return to the sect?” Long Xiao said with a frown. When he saw how composed Duan Ling Tian was, he extended his Divine Consciousness to probe Dian Ling Tian. Then,
he said with a sneer, “No wonder you returned. As it turns out, you’ve broken through and became a rudimentary King of Gods.”
Long Xiao’s words caused an immediate commotion.
“Duan Ling Tian has broken through?!”
“He’s not even 3,000 years old, right?”
“To be precise, he’s not even 2,800 years old!”
“Heavens! Not only is his comprehension of the law of space incredibly profound, but he also became the first advanced god to become a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years. Now, he has even broken
through and become a rudimentary King of Gods! I’m afraid ordinary intermediate Kings of Gods are no longer a match for him!”
“That’s right. He’s not a match for an extraordinary intermediate King of Gods like Senior Brother Long Xiao. After all, Senior Brother Long Xiao is capable of defeating ordinary advanced Kings of Gods!”
Duan Ling Tian looked at Long Xiao expressionlessly as the core disciples in the surroundings fervently discussed among themselves. He asked, “What do you mean, Senior Brother Long Xiao?”
Long Xiao sneered. “Have you forgotten the promise you made a few months ago?”
Duan Ling Tian feigned confusion and asked, “Promise? What promise?”
Long Xiao’s expression darkened immediately. His eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, “It seems like you didn’t take my words to heart at all.”
Duan Ling Tian smiled and politely asked, “Senior Brother Long Xiao, I really don’t remember what I promised you. Can you please tell me what it is?”
“Very good!” Long Xiao gnashed his teeth and said, “Duan Ling Tian, it seems like after becoming a rudimentary King of Gods, you think you can take my words lightly.”
Duan Ling Tian looked at Long Xiao calmly. He was waiting for Long Xiao to strike first so he could retaliate. According to the rules of the Hidden Fog Sect, he would not be guilty of killing Long Xiao if Long Xiao took
the initiative to attack him; it would be considered self-defense. He did not expect that before Long Xiao could make a move, another figure appeared. It was none other than Shangguan Xiong Feng.
“It’s Senior Brother Shangguan!”
“Senior Brother Shangguan is here!”
The core disciples were excited to see Shangguan Xiong Feng. After all, he was one of the three strongest core disciples. Although he was only an intermediate King of Gods, he was much stronger than many inner
elders of the Hidden Fog Sect. Even if he were not Supreme Elder Feng’s disciple, he would still be idolized by many people in the Hidden Fog Sect.
Shangguan Xiong Feng smiled at the crowd before he said to Long Xiao teasingly, “Long Xiao, why did you call me over? Are you afraid of him?”
“Duan Ling Tian is now a rudimentary King of Gods,” Long Xiao replied in a low voice, “Although I don’t think he’s a match for me, he seems very confident. After all, he dared to openly return to the sect. To be safe, I
called you over.”
Long Xiao was very cautious by nature. It was one of the reasons why he was able to achieve so much and became Supreme Elder Lei’s disciple. Moreover, he would rather owe Shangguan Xiong Feng than embarrass
himself before the crowd.
“How cautious,” Shangguan Xiong Feng said before he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said nonchalantly, “Junior Brother Duan, I didn’t expect to meet you again so soon.”
“Shangguan Xiong Feng, are you here to return the two Auspicious Pills that you robbed from me?” Duan Ling Tian asked indifferently.
“What do you mean by I robbed you?” Shangguang Xiong Feng laughed.”Junior Brother Duan, didn’t I give you a mediocre divine artifact in exchange for those two Auspicious Pills? You can’t simply slander me.”
“As a disciple of Supreme Elder Feng, you’re really shameless and a disgrace to your master. You don’t even dare to own up to your actions,” Duan Ling Tian said mockingly. He could barely contain his anger when he
saw how shameless Shangguan Xiong Feng was acting.
The smile on Shangguan Xiong Feng’s face froze when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He said darkly, “Duan Ling Tian, I’m warning you. Don’t slander me. If you continue, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Duan Ling Tian laughed before he said, “Slander? Very well! Why don’t we swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath to see who’s telling the truth? I’m willing to swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath to prove my
innocence! What about you?”
Shangguang Xiong Feng’s expression changed drastically upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. .
