Chapter 3795 The Latent Dragon Grand Contest

"Master, rest assured. I won't let junior brother die in vain," Zhong Chan said in a lowered voice, "If there's anything I can do to avenge his death, please instruct me. I'll do anything as long as it's within my capabilities."

A smile bloomed on Kuang Tian Zheng's face as soon as he heard these words. These were the words he had been waiting for.

"Master, do you have a plan in mind?" Zhong Can asked.

"I don't have a plan yet," Kuang Tian Zheng said as he shook his head, "However, I won't let that brat have an easy time after he joins the sect. It's best if we can disturb his cultivation. After all, he's not even 3,000 years old, but he has already achieved so much. I'm afraid we'd be at a disadvantage if he continues to grow. At that time, the tables might turn, and we might be in trouble."

A hint of fear could be heard in Kuang Tian Zheng's voice nearing the end of his words. "It's true that we can't allow him to grow to his full potential," Zhong Can said with a nod, "We should try to lure him out of the sect and hire an assassin to kill him. If he refuses to leave the sect, we can try provoking him until he accepts a life-or-death challenge out of anger." "It's still better to lure him out of the sect," Kuang Tian Zheng said, "It's unlikely he'll be provoked into accepting a life-or-death duel, especially if the opponent is much stronger than him. I believe he's not an impulsive person since he's able to come this far. In fact, he's rather meticulous and cunning. You can see this based on how he bide his time and only return to the Hidden Fog Sect when he was strong enough to kill Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei's disciples."

"Lure him out of the sect..." Zhong Can frowned slightly. "How can we lure him out of the sect? After all, he's aware that we're waiting for a chance to kill him."

"It's difficult, but it's not impossible to lure him out of the sect," Kuang Tian Zheng said nonchalantly, "If he hears about a Divine Sanctuary left behind by a Supreme God, do you think he'd be able to resist the temptation to leave the sect's estate?"

Zhong Can's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing these words. "Master, you're brilliant!"

Three days passed in just a blink of an eye.

The Flying Dragon Sect's Latent Dragon Grand Contest that was held once every 100 years was finally about to begin.

Since the entrance examinations for inner disciples and outer disciples had ended, those who passed the entrance examinations were qualified to join the Latent Dragon Grand Contest.

Duan Ling Tian met Hou Qing Ning as soon as they left.

As Hou Qing Ning looked at the throng of people around them, he said, "Only 268 people passed the inner disciples' entrance examination and joined the Flying Dragon Sect. On the other hand, I heard the sect managed to recruit more than 500 outer disciples this time."

Duan Ling Tian nodded. At this time, his eyes lit up when he saw a beautiful woman whose face was hidden by a veil. She had changed into a different outfit and was dressed in a long blue robe now.

In addition to her beauty, her ethereal aura made it hard not to turn heads.

Duan Ling Tian saw a few young men trying to strike up a conversation with her but was given the cold shoulder instead.

The woman seemed indifferent to everything and everyone around her. However, she did not seem out of place; instead, she blended rather harmoniously with her surroundings.

Hou Qing Ning followed Duan Ling Tian's gaze, and when he saw the woman, he said with a smile, "After the inner disciples! entrance examination ended, many men tried to approach her. However, all of them were ruthlessly rejected. No matter what they did, she was completely unmoved. There were even two men who attacked her out of anger and humiliation, but they were defeated by her instead. I don't think those two would be able to participate in the Latent Dragon Grand Contest."

Duan Ling Tian smiled upon hearing Hou Qing Ning's words. It seemed like the prodigy from the 10,000 Flowers Valley who was known as Lady Seven was not a simple person. He could not help but be reminded of Huan'er's aloofness when he looked at Lady Seven. Huan'er was cold and unapproachable to most people, and she would only warm up to Duan Ling Tian and his family and friends.

'Huan'er...' Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly when he thought about Huan'er. In just a blink of an eye, he had been separated from his wife and Huan'er for almost 30 years. Then, this thought led to his other wife, Keler. 'In another 300 years, the spatial passages between the Realms of Gods and Devata Realms will open...'

Duan Ling Tian was lost in his thoughts at this moment. It was as though his soul had left the Realm of Gods and returned to the time he was with his wives and Huan'er. He only regained his senses when he heard Hou Qing Ning's voice.

"Duan Ling Tian, she's coming over," Hou Qing Ning said. Before Duan Ling Tian could respond, the woman was already standing in front of Duan Ling Tian. Her crystal clear eyes were calm as she looked at him.

The crowd watched enviously as the duo stood together.

Hou Qing Ning took a few steps back and said tactfully, "I'll leave you both to talk."

After stepping to the side, Hou Qing Ning asked through Voice Transmission, "Duan Ling Tian, do you know her?"

Hou Qing Ning was naturally curious. After all, the woman had refused everyone who approached her, but she was now taking the initiative to approach Duan Ling Tian. He heard that during the qualifying test, she had gone with the flow and quietly joined those who were not from lord-rank forces. From the beginning until the end, she did not say a word at all. Some people even suspected she was mute even if that was impossible once one became an advanced god.

"I don't know her," Duan Ling Tian replied to Hou Qing Ning through Voice Transmission as he looked at the woman in confusion. Finally, he asked, "How may I help you?"

"I heard people say that you're acquainted with Xue Hai Chuan?" the woman asked. Her voice was melodious.

Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised by her question. He asked in return, "Who told you about that?"

To his knowledge, apart from those from the Linghu clan, no one knew he was acquainted with Xue Hai Chuan. After listening to the woman's reply, he found that when he, Xue Hai Chuan, and Xue Hai Shan went for drinks at a restaurant in Linghu City, the manager had recognized Xue Hai Chuan. With that, news began to spread among the staff members. It did not take long before word began to spread about Duan Ling Tian's relationship with Xue Hai Chuan.

The woman asked bluntly, "Can you contact him?"

"Yes," Duan Ling Tian said with a nod after a brief moment of hesitation. After all, he recalled Xue Hai Chuan had told him to go easy on the woman during the Latent Dragon Grand Contest. With this, he deduced Xue Hai Chuan would not mind this.

"Please tell me that I want to meet him after the end of the Latent Dragon Grand Contest. Tell him that I'm Fu Qing Liu's daughter," she said.

Duan Ling Tian did not waste time and quickly convey her message to Xue Hai Chuan.

Xue Hai Chuan's reply came swiftly. "Little Tian, tell her that you'll lead her to me once the Latent Dragon Grand Contest ends. Please show her the way."

Duan Ling Tian could sense Xue Hai Chuan's surging emotions despite Xue Hai Chuan's effort to remain calm. Then, he said, "I've already spoken to him. He has asked me to lead you to him after the end of the Latent Dragon Grand Contest."

"Thank you," she said before she flew off to the venue of the Latent Dragon Grand Contest.

The venue was held at the peak of Fire Dragon Mountain. The peak had been flattened. Half of the area at the peak was occupied by a stone platform that was called the Flaming Dragon Arena. It was where the fights would take place.

During ordinary days, disciples of the Flying Dragon Sect would also come to spar at this place. At this moment, the stone platform was empty. However, countless people had gathered around at this moment to watch the Latent Dragon Grand Contest.

"Duan Ling Tian, you're here!"

Duan Ling Tian looked in the direction of the voice and saw a finely-dressed young man walking toward him with a smile on his face.

A black-clad young man and a blue-clad middle-aged man followed closely behind the finely dressed young man.

Before Duan Ling Tian had a chance to speak, the finely-dressed young man had already arrived in front of Duan Ling Tian. He was none other than Hua Tian Du, the Young Master of the Eastern Oriental Sect.
