Chapter 3433 - Is This How You Ask For An Explanation?

"Lord Heavenly Emperor, is there a particular reason you're looking for our Lord Heavenly Emperor?" the old man who recognized Feng Qing Yang first asked respectfully.

The old man, and everyone present on the scene, knew Situ Zhuqing, the Heavenly Emperor of the Luo River Heaven, was not a match for Feng Qing Yang, the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Based on Feng Qing Yang's tone, it was obvious that he did not come looking for Situ Zhuqing for friendly reasons.

If Situ Zhuqing had truly offended Feng Qing Yang, the old man thought that he must sever his ties with the Luo River Sect as soon as possible to avoid being dragged into the matter.

"I'm here to settle some scores," Feng Qing Yang replied indifferently. Although he could search the entire Luo River Sect with his Divine Consciousness, he would not be able to find Situ Zhuqing. After all, he was not familiar with her; even if he sensed her aura, he would not be able to recognize that it belonged to her. He could sense quite a few Ten Directions Celestial Emperors in the Luo River Sect's estate. Put aside those who were not present, almost half of the people before him were Ten Directions Celestial Emperors. It would be difficult for him to find Situ Zhuqing's aura among so many Ten Directions Celestial Emperors since he was not familiar with her.

The old man's eyes widened in fear. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.

Similarly, the other members of the Luo River Sect were shocked and frightened as well. After all, the Heavenly Emperor standing in front of them had killed another Heavenly Emperor just to avenge his subordinate. Was he… was he here to kill their Heavenly Emperor?

"Lord Heavenly Emperor," an old lady stepped forward at this moment and asked with a bitter smile, "Are you here to kill our Lord Heavenly Emperor because of something that happened 200 years ago?"

The Luo River Sect members looked at the old lady in confusion and shock. So it was true that their Heavenly Emperor had offended Feng Qing Yang? Moreover, whatever she did was so serious that Feng Qing Yang personally came to kill her! All of them wondered if Situ Zhuqing had gone insane for provoking Feng Qing Yang.

"So you know," Feng Qing Yang said as he looked at the old lady intently.

"To be honest, I don't know, Lord Heavenly Emperor," the old woman continued to say with a bitter smile, "However, our Lord Heavenly Emperor and the Saint Girl left the sect about 200 years ago. Up until now, they have yet to return. They left without saying a word. Nobody knows where they went. The longest time our Lord Heavenly Emperor has been away from the sect was less than 30 years. Her long absence this time is very abnormal…"

"She left 200 years ago?" Feng Qing Yang narrowed his eyes immediately. The corners of his lips curled up into a sneer as he said mockingly, "She's really smart to flee so quickly. However, does she think I won't be able to do anything just because I can't find her here?"

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he heard Situ Zhuqing had fled the Luo River Sect and the Luo River Heaven 200 years ago. He was aware that it was the same time as when he and Meng Luo, the Heavenly Savage Celestial, went to the Saint Province Realm. This meant that Situ Zhuqing fled as soon as she found out she had offended Feng Qing Yang by sending her people to kill all of the inhabitants in the Saint Province Realm. He thought to himself in awe, 'Heavens! Just master's name and reputation alone is so fearsome! She fled as soon as she found out she had offended master? Isn't she a Heavenly Emperor? Isn't her behavior too embarrassing?'

Duan Ling Tian was truly shocked and in awe that Feng Qing Yang's name and reputation alone could strike so much fear into people's hearts. Moreover, not many people knew for sure his master had attained godhood. It was just an unconfirmed rumor after all. Despite that, they were still so afraid of his master. After thinking about it for a moment, he thought it was reasonable that Situ Zhuqing would flee. After all, even before his master entered the Asura Hell, Situ Zhuqing was already not a match for his master.

'Hm?' At this moment, Duan Ling Tian discovered a middle-aged man, who was standing among the members of the Luo River Sect, staring intently at him. He thought the middle-aged man recognized him. After all, when he first came to meet Mu Yi Yi at the entrance of the Luo River Sect's estate, he did not disguise himself at all. Therefore, he was certain the disciples who saw him that day must have provided information to the Saint Girl so they could draw his portraits and give them to those who were sent to hunt him down.

Duan Ling Tian asked the middle-aged man, "Do you recognize me? Were you part of the group the Saint Girl sent to hunt me down?"

As soon as Duan Ling Tian's voice fell, the Luo River Sect members turned to look at Duan Ling Tian. Previously, all of their attention was on Feng Qing Yang so all of them had overlooked Duan Ling Tian even if they found him vaguely familiar.

"Y-you are Duan Ling Tian? You're the one who kidnapped the Saint Girl's disciple, Mu Yi Yi?!" an old man exclaimed in shock and disbelief. He did not expect the person their sect's Saint Girl wanted to hunt down was someone by Feng Qing Yang's side. Moreover, based on how Duan Ling Tian was standing next to Feng Qing Yang, it was clear Duan Ling Tian was not just a subordinate.

"So you know me," Duan Ling Tian said indifferently, "However, I didn't kidnap your Saint Girl's disciple; I rescued her. Your Saint Girl allowed her twin sister, Feng Jian Xue, to possess my junior sister's body. When I found out about it, I brought Yi Yi away and destroyed Feng Jian Xue's soul that was occupying Yi Yi's body. That's why your Heavenly Emperor and your Saint Girl hate me so much and sent people to kill the inhabitants of a mundane realm. It was all for revenge…"

"Twin sister?"

Apart from a few who were in the know, the other members of the Luo River Sect were shocked by this revelation. None of them knew the Saint Girl had a twin sister or that their Heavenly Emperor had another daughter.

"Unfortunately, your Heavenly Emperor didn't know that mundane realm was where my master, Feng Qing Yang, came from as well. She only knew he came from that mundane realm after the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor put a stop to the massacre there. Coincidentally, that happened 200 years ago as well…" Duan Ling Tian grew angrier and angrier as he spoke. "Unfortunately, although the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor intervened, many of the inhabitants had already been killed. We arrived too late. As a Heavenly Emperor of a Devata Realm, she actually stooped so low because of her selfish desires and ordered for the helpless inhabitants of a mundane realm to be slaughtered. She deserves death!"

Duan Ling Tian's frosty voice sent chills running their spines. The dozen of titled Celestial Emperors from the Luo River Sect were stunned. As it turned out, this was how their Heavenly Emperor had offended Feng Qing Yang. What was even more shocking was that Duan Ling Tian was Feng Qing Yang's disciple. With all these revelations, their expressions changed drastically. Their eyes darted around nervously. They were worried Feng Qing would kill all of them with just a wave of his hand out of anger.

At this moment, the old man who had recognized Feng Qing Yang earlier said respectfully, "Lord Heavenly Emperor, I truly didn't know about this nor do I have anything to do with it. Please show mercy and don't vent your anger on me…"

As soon as the old man's voice fell, the other members of the Luo River Sect began to speak up one after another to plead for their lives. All of them were drenched in cold sweat; they were afraid Feng Qing Yang would vent his anger on them. After all, the main culprit had escaped so there was no way for him to seek revenge for now.

Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian looked at Feng Qing Yang and said through Voice Transmission, "Master, why don't we use me as bait? We can lure Situ Zhuqing out this way. She hates me to the bones so she'll definitely come for me once she discovers my whereabouts…"

"There's no need for that." Feng Qing Yang rejected Duan Ling Tian's suggestion. "She won't fall for it. Perhaps, news of you being my disciple has already spread in the Luo River Sect. It's just a matter of time before she finds out as well. Although there are 81 Devata Realms for her to hide in, she won't be able to hide forever… Moreover, I'm not interested in wasting my time hunting her down. Let's wait for her to show up. I'll definitely kill her as soon as she shows up…"

Duan Ling Tian could sense his master's contempt for Situ Zhuqing. He nodded. "You're right, master. Indeed, it's a waste of time for us to look for some like her; she's not worth our efforts. Like you said, we should wait for her to show up. Moreover, if possible, I'd like to kill her with my own hands…"

Killing intent shone in Duan Ling Tian's eyes. He could not wait to kill Situ Zhuqing for destroying his hometown and killing the descendants of his friends, including Xue Nai's family.

"Alright. We'll put this matter aside for now. There's one more matter to deal with. We still have to go to the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven," Feng Qing Yang's eyes glinted coldly as he said, "I've heard about what happened there from Elder Huo. Although Yang Yun Xiao could be considered a friend, he has to give me an explanation…"

…

Due to Feng Qing Yang's words, even after they arrived at the Heavenly Palace of the Floating Heaven, Duan Ling Tian assumed Feng Qing Yang was going to listen to the explanation from Yang Yun Xiao, the Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven. However, he was shocked when he saw spatial tears appearing in the void due to a terrifying energy as soon as Yang Yun Xiao showed up. Before Yang Yun Xiao could even speak, a giant sword that seemed invincible and indestructible shot toward Yang Yun Xiao.

Duan Ling Tian was stunned speechless. Is this what his master meant when he said Yang Yun Xiao had to give him an explanation? How was this considered asking for an explanation?
