Chapter 3817: Linghu Ren Feng
Linghu Ren Jie was naturally perplexed by his sister’s huge reaction. He knew that it was the name, Xia Ning Xue, that stirred up such a huge reaction, but he did not know why. Was his niece, Linghu Chu Yin, really Duan Ling Tian’s wife?
Linghu Ren Jie did not intend to hide anything from his sister. Moreover, only by telling the truth would he be able to figure out if his niece was Duan Ling Tian’s wife. Hence, he said, “I heard it from Duan Ling Tian.”
“Duan Ling Tian?” Linghu Ren Feng’s mood seemed to ease upon hearing this. Then, she furrowed her brows as she said, “Even when you mentioned him earlier, I found his name familiar…”
Linghu Ren Jie smiled awkwardly as he said, “He was the one who stopped Chu Yin’s carriage when Chu Yin went to King Descending City with Elder Qing Ze.”
He knew his sister must have heard about this matter.
“I remember now…” Linghu Ren Feng nodded. “He… How did he know the name… Xia Ning Xue?”
It was obvious that just saying the name made her emotional.
Linghu Ren Jie sighed. “He said that Xia Ning Xue is his wife. When he saw Chu Yin in King Descending City, he discovered that Chu Yin resembles his wife. Not only that, but their temperaments were the same as well. That’s why he stopped her at that time. He came to the clan to confirm Chu Yin’s identity, but due to various reasons, he left the Hidden Fog Sect to join our clan.”
After that, Linghu Ren Jie recounted everything Duan Ling Tian had told him in detail, including how Duan Ling Tian was separated from Xia Ning Xue, to Linghu Ren Feng.
“So it’s him…” Linghu Ren Feng murmured as she fell deep in her thoughts.
Linghu Ren Jie was confused when he heard these words. ‘Does she know him? What happened?’
Linghu Ren Jie was unaware that Linghu Ren Jie’s current mood was very complicated. Although it was her first time hearing Duan Ling Tian’s name, she was somewhat aware of him.
Back then, her eldest daughter, Xia Ning Xue, committed suicide because she did not want to marry Yun Qing Yan, the Young Master of the Yun clan in the Divine Offering Land. It was also at that time that she lost all hope for that man, Xia Yu, the Clan Leader of the Xia clan. Until now, Xia Yu was unaware that she was alive or that he had another daughter.
In the past, after she left the Profound Energy Land and went to the Divine Offering Land, she met Xia Yu by coincidence. At that time, he was not yet the Clan Leader of the Xia clan. Although she knew he already had a family of his own at that time, she did not regret falling in love with him.
Later on, she became pregnant with Xia Yu’s child. Hence, she thought about letting go of her pride and entering the Xia clan as Xia Yu’s concubine. It was out of her expectations that Xia Yu’s wife ordered people to kill her and snatch her two children away.
At that time, she managed to escape, but she only managed to save one of her children, which was Linghu Chu Yin. It was also due to that incident that Linghu Chu Yin was very sickly as a child. Chu Yin would suffer from bouts of memory loss as well.
Linghu Ren Feng looked for countless doctors to cure her youngest daughter, and she did not forget to inquire about the Xia clan’s news.
When she found out that her eldest daughter had become the beloved Young Miss of the Xia clan, she finally felt more at ease. She thought her sacrifices and pain were worth it as long as her eldest daughter was loving a good life. Alas, she did not expect to receive the news of her daughter’s death thousands of years later. It caused her to fall into despair.
When she went to the Xia clan to confront Xia Yu, she ran into Xia Yu’s wife before she could meet him. At that time, his wife had told her that Xia Yu thought she was dead and that if she let Xia Yu know she was alive she would kill her youngest daughter. Following that, Xia Yu’s wife told her that there was a chance her eldest daughter would reincarnate.
At that time, she had been furious, but she endured for the sake of her youngest daughter.
She lived in pain for many years before she finally heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that the Eldest Young Miss of the Xia clan had returned to the Xia clan. However, later, she heard that her eldest daughter had entered the Realm Battlefield to escape her arranged marriage.
At that time, Linghu Ren Feng, who was still searching for ways to completely cure Linghu Chu Yin, thought about sending Linghu Chu Yin back to the Linghu clan to recuperate. After that, she planned to go to the Realm Battlefield and the Divine Offering Land to search for her daughter. However, Linghu Chu Yin was reluctant to leave her side.
In the end, she did not force Linghu Chu Yin. After all, Linghu Chu Yin and Xia Ning Xue were twins and shared a telepathic bond. She thought perhaps, Linghu Chu Yin would be able to find Xia Ning Xue. They searched in the Realm Battlefield before they found a weak spot in the space barrier that would lead to the Divine Offering Land. She had also used this method to return to the Linghu clan in the Profound Divine Energy.
During all that time, she had vaguely heard a few things about Xia Ning Xue’s husband from the mundane realm.
When Linghu Ren Feng finally regained her senses, she murmured, “I didn’t expect Ning Xue’s husband to be so loyal. For her, he came to the Profound Energy Land. He’s a King of Gods now when he’s only over 700 years old…”
Upon hearing this, Linghu Ren Jie was perplexed. He said, “Ren Feng, did you say Duan Ling Tian’s over 700 years old? He’s a little over 2,700 years old.”
Linghu Ren Feng seemed slightly surprised. Then, she glanced at her brother and said, “It seems like that kid knows to maintain a low profile. Brother, don’t you know there are ways to conceal one’s bone age?”
Linghu Ren Jie was shocked when he discovered Duan Ling Tian’s true age. When he calmed down, he recalled his sister’s earlier words and asked, “Ren Feng, is Chu Yin really Xia Ning Xue, Duan Ling Tian’s wife?”
“No.” Linghu Ren Feng shook her head. Although she saw the confused expression on Linghu Ren Jie’s face, she did not explain. In the end, she only said, “Brother, since you’re safe now, I’ll take my leave. I’ll deal with that Vice Sect Leader Xue from the Flying Dragon Clan.”
With that, Linghu Ren Feng flashed away without waiting for Linghu Ren Jie’s response, leaving him bewildered.
…
As an emperor-rank sect, the Flying Dragon Sect’s Guarding Formation was naturally not simple. As impressive as the Linghu clan’s Guarding Formation was, it still could not compare to that of the Flying Dragon Sect. It’s said even ordinary Emperors of Gods would not be able to break it.
Today, a figure suddenly appeared and began to attack the Flying Dragon Sect’s Guarding Formation with terrifying strength.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Guarding Formation shook violently in time with the attacks as a terrifying energy rippled out.
“You have 20 seconds to deactivate the Formation. Otherwise, after I destroy the Formation, I’ll destroy the Flying Dragon Sect as well!”
An icy voice reverberated through the entire Flying Dragon Sect’s estate, shocking everyone.
Following that, waves after waves of attacks shook the Formation and the estate.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The killing energy from the Formation surged out as well as the intruder continued to attack it. It did not take long before the Formation shattered.
Terrifying aftershocks swept out. Even the nine mountain ranges were affected. It was as though an unimaginably huge earthquake was taking place.
Many figures flew up into the sky from all directions. Although they were furious, they all tried to suppress their fury.
“May I know who you are?”
“What do you want from our sect?”
“You…”
These people were advanced Lords of Gods, high-ranking officials of the Flying Dragon Sect.
However, no one responded to their question.
At this time, a figure who had just begun to fly up from a courtyard in the Flying Dragon’s estate was immediately pushed to the ground by an invisible force. The figure belonged to a dignified-looking middle-aged man. His expression changed drastically as he cried out, “Who is it?!”
Boom!
Despite struggling with all his might, the middle-aged man could not free himself. Soon enough, another huge force fell from the sky and pushed him deep into the ground.
Swoosh!
Following that, a woman appeared in front of the middle-aged man.
When the man, who was lying in a hole on the ground, was shocked when he saw the beautiful woman. His expression changed drastically as he exclaimed, “Emperor of Gods?!”
The middle-aged man was Xue Ming Zhi, a Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect. He was stronger than the Black Dragon Elders of the Flying Dragon Sect, and even the most powerful people in the sect would not have been able to crush him so easily in this manner. Hence, it was not difficult for him to tell that the beautiful woman was an Emperor of Gods.
He began to tremble when he recalled how that woman had easily destroyed the Guarding Formation. Even ordinary Emperors of Gods were not capable of doing that.
Linghu Ren Feng, who had come to the Flying Dragon Sect after leaving the Linghu clan, looked at Xue Ming Zhi and said indifferently, “Xu Tong Yuan is dead.”
Thinking of how the woman easily shattered the Flying Dragon Sect’s Sect Guarding Formation, he trembled again… This was not something an ordinary Emperor of Gods could do!
The beautiful lady was Linghu Ren Feng who came to the Flying Dragon Sect after leaving the Linghu Clan. She looked down at Xue Ming Zhi and spoke indifferently, “Xu Tong Yuan is dead.”
Upon hearing these words, Xue Ming Zhi’s eyes widened, and he grew even more terrified. He stammered, “Your, Your Excellency, you, you are?”
