Chapter 3739 - Supreme Elder Feng, Supreme Elder Lei, Supreme Elder Yun, and Supreme Elder Wu Gather

Everyone's eyes fell on the purple figure standing behind Linghu Heng and Linghu Huan as soon as they heard the words 'member of our Linghu clan'.

"So Duan Ling Tian is a member of the Linghu clan?"

"How can this be? What's the point of him joining our Hidden Fog Sect then?"

"That's right! Even if the Linghu clan wants to send a spy to our sect, they won't send someone as eye-catching as Duan Ling Tian. It'd be counterproductive!"

Everyone from the Hidden Fog Sect knew that Duan Ling Tian had high innate talent and comprehension skills. In fact, his talent had far surpassed Xue Hai Chuan.

Meanwhile, Wu Feng Yin who had been panicking perked up when he heard Linghu Huan's words. If Duan Ling Tian was only a member of the Linghu clan, he would not have to go into hiding! After all, the Linghu clan was just a lord-rank force like the Hidden Fog Sect.

Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei could hardly control their expressions.

After a moment, Supreme Elder Lei asked solemnly, "You said Duan Ling Tian is from your Linghu clan?" "That's right," Linghu Huan said nonchalantly, "We're going to bring him away now. I don't think you have any objections, do you?"

As soon as Linghu Huan's voice fell, Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei mobilized their Divine Energies that had been boosted by the law of wind and the law of thunder respectively. Clearly, they were ready to attack.

Linghu Huan's expression remained the same, but his voice turned icy as he said, "Both of you are smart people. You should know that even if Supreme Elder Yun and Supreme Elder Wu were here, you still won't be able to stop us brothers. With just both of you, you don't stand a chance at all. Believe it or not, even if the other two supreme elders are here, we can still kill the members of the Hidden Fog Sect while we protect Duan Ling Tian." As Linghu Huan was nearing the end of his words, he looked at the core disciples and inner elders of the Hidden Fog Sect meaningfully.

With this, the core disciples and inner elders hurriedly retreated into the distance without any prompts.

Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei's expressions were rather unsightly at this moment

Qian Yin asked with a sour expression on his face, "Does the Linghu clan really intend to start a war with the Hidden Fog Sect?"

Qian Yin knew very well that Linghu Huan was not boasting. If Linghu Huan joined forces with Linghu Heng, the duo could easily bring Duan Ling Tian away. On top of that, it would not be a problem for them to kill the core disciples and inner elders while they were at it. Even if Supreme Elder Yun and Supreme Elder Wu were present, they still would not be able to make them stay. "Start a war?" Linghu Huan smiled. "Whatever. If there's a war, our Linghu clan will join forces with the 10,000 Devils Sect to deal with the Hidden Fog Sect."

Qian Yin's expression changed drastically upon hearing Linghu Huan's words. He no longer dared to speak carelessly.

"Let's go, kid," Linghu Huan said.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Linghu Huan brought out the lord-grade flying ship. Then, he and Linghu Heng brought Duan Ling Tian onto the flying ship in just a blink of an eye.

From the beginning until the end, Qian Yin, Supreme Elder Feng, and Supreme Elder Lei did not dare to act rashly. After all, they knew that despite the chubby Linghu Huan's kind and amiable appearance, Linghu Huan was quite ruthless. If they made a move, Linghu Huan definitely would not hesitate to kill as many members of the Hidden Fog Sect as he could. Moreover, Qian Yin and the two supreme elders had other disciples among the core disciples present. The two supreme elders had already lost a disciple each so they wanted to minimize the casualties. For these reasons, they could only watch as Duan Ling Tian left with Linghu Heng and Linghu Huan.

After a brief moment, Supreme Elder Lei asked Qian Yin in a deep voice, "Sect Leader, can the Sect Guarding Formation stop them?"

It was clear that Supreme Elder Lei was barely able to suppress his anger.

"No." Qian Yin shook his head and said helplessly, "Our Hidden Fog Sect isn't good at Formations. We can find them with the Formation, but it won't be able to stop them. It'd be even harder now that the flying ship has left our estate."

"Damn it! That fatty is too arrogant!" Supreme Elder Lei cursed.

"Supreme Elder Feng, Supreme Elder Lei, let's talk in private," Qian Yin said after he took a deep breath. As the Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect, he had suffered a great humiliation earlier. How could he not be angry? Alas, there was nothing he could do for now. After a moment, he said, "I've already told Supreme Elder Yun and Supreme Elder Wu to meet us at my cultivation ground."

Earlier, as soon as Linghu Heng appeared, Qian Yin had already sent a message each to Supreme Elder Yun and Supreme Elder Wu whose strengths were on par with Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei.

Originally, Supreme Elder Yun and Supreme Elder Wu were making their way to the core disciples' cultivation ground. However, after Duan Ling Tian had been brought away, Qian Yin told them to meet at his cultivation ground since there was no longer anything to be done at the core disciples' cultivation ground.

After Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei left, Qian Yin swept his gaze across everyone and said, "Everyone should know what can be said and what can't be said about today's matter. If I find out that any one of you is spreading rumors, I won't show any mercy!"

The core disciples and the inner elders nodded.

Nonetheless, Qian Yin knew his threats would not be able to completely prevent today's matter from spreading.

Supreme Elder Yun was the strongest among the four Supreme Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect. He was a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body. He was dressed in expensive silk and satin robes and covered in jewels. He looked like a rich man from the mundane realms.

Supreme Elder Wu, on the other hand, had a youthful appearance and otherworldly aura. Despite his youthful appearance, his long hair and eyebrows were white.

Upon seeing the duo, Supreme Elder Lei said in a low voice, "Both of you came too late! They've left!"

"Even if we came on time, do you think we can stop those two from the Linghu clan?" Supreme Elder Yun shook his head. "Why did those two suddenly come to our sect and bring Duan Ling Tian away?"

Supreme Elder Yun and Supreme Elder Wu had learned about the matter from Qian Yin earlier when they were on their way here.

"Is Duan Ling Tian really from the Linghu clan?" Supreme Elder Yun was puzzled. He had heard about Duan Ling Tian for a long time now. He even briefly toyed with the idea of accepting Duan Ling Tian as a disciple after Duan Ling Tian became a core disciple. When he heard that Duan Ling Tian had decisively refused Supreme Elder Lei, he completely dismissed that idea. When he learned that Duan Ling Tian had killed Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao today, he was shocked. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to already possess such strength when Duan Ling Tian had only recently become a rudimentary King of Gods. Even Xue Hai Chuan, the famous prodigy from the Hidden Fog Sect, did not have such strength when Xue Hai Chuan had just become a rudimentary King of Gods.

Everyone could not figure out why Duan Ling Tian would join the Hidden Fog Sect if he was from the Linghu clan. Was he sent here to be a spy? However, would the Linghu clan send such a genius to become a spy at the Hidden Fog Sect? Moreover, Duan Ling Tian did not behave like a spy at all. If he was a spy, it would be advantageous to him to become Supreme Elder Lei's disciple.

"No, I don't think so," Supreme Elder Wu shook his head and said, "The sect leader mentioned he has a close relationship with a young girl whose personal guard is likely stronger than us. In the Linghu clan, apart from the mysterious sister of the clan leader, there aren't any female cultivators stronger than me. Moreover, the Linghu clan has no members who are that girl's age."

Upon hearing Supreme Elder Wu's words, Supreme Elder Yun nodded in agreement.

"That girl is definitely not from the Linghu clan. As for Duan Ling Tian, I can't confirm his background for the time being. All I know is that he and that young girl behaved as though they were brother and sister," Qian Yin said in a deep voice, "I'll speak to Murong Sui Feng regarding this matter. However, now that Duan Ling Tian has gone to the Linghu clan, it'd be even more difficult for us to investigate him…"

Supreme Elder Lei's eyes flashed coldly as he said, "He killed my disciple. If he doesn't have a powerful force backing him, I'll definitely kill him! Even the Linghu clan won't be able to save him!"

Upon hearing these words, Supreme Elder Feng's eyes flashed coldly as well as he said, "I'll find a chance to capture and imprison Duan Ling Tian! At that time, we'll know his background. If he has no one behind him, I'll kill him to avenge Xiong Feng!"

Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei were naturally not as calm as Supreme Elder Yun and Supreme Elder Wu. After all, the duo had lost a disciple each today.

"Old Man Lei," Supreme Elder Feng said frostily, "Since we intend to avenge our disciples, why don't we take turns visiting Linghu City?"

Supreme Elder Lei's eyes lit up. "You mean we should wait for a chance to capture Duan Ling Tian at Linghu City?".

Supreme Elder Feng nodded. His eyes shone with killing intent as he said, "I don't believe he'll hide in the Linghu clan's estate forever. Moreover, the Lords of Gods from the clan won't stay by his side forever to protect him!"
