Chapter 3862 - Xue Hai Chuan Receives an Order

When Kuang Tian Zheng arrived at Duan Ling Tian's courtyard in the inner disciples' cultivation ground, he found that the Formation protecting the courtyard had been deactivated and Duan Ling Tian was nowhere to be found. He felt extremely depressed at this time. He had used Ding Yan to lure Duan Ling Tian out of the Flying Dragon Sect's estate to kill Duan Ling Tian, but the plan failed. That plan was the only way for him to kill Duan Ling Tian without risking his life. He had even planned to help Meng Shan kill Duan Ling Tian once Meng Shan confirmed that it was Duan Ling Tian's true body that had left the Flying Dragon Sect's estate.

When Kuang Tian Zheng received Meng Shan's message saying that it was Duan Ling Tian's doppelganger from the law of space that had left the sect, he knew that the worst scenario had happened. With this, he knew it would be impossible to lure Duan Ling Tian out of the Flying Dragon Sect's estate again. In the end, after struggling inwardly for a while, he finally decided to risk his life and kill Duan Ling Tian in the sect. After all, if Duan Ling Tian lived, not only would he be in danger, but everyone related to him would be in danger as well.

'Where did he go?' Kuang Tian Zheng wondered to himself with a dark expression on his face. After a while, he sent a message to Xue Ming Zhi as well, informing Xue Ming Zhi about what happened. He hoped that Xue Ming Zhi might know where Duan Ling Tian had gone.

After receiving Kuang Tian Zheng's message, Xue Ming Zhi did not waste time before he investigated Duan Ling Tian's whereabouts. After 15 minutes, he sent a message to Kuang Tian Zheng.

"Duan Ling Tian didn't enter the Imperial War Realm after leaving the inner disciples' cultivation ground. Instead, he's gone to Xue Hai Chuan's cultivation ground. Your plan has alerted him so he's very cautious now. You should've listened to me and killed him directly instead of luring him out of the sect first. Look what you've done now!"

Kuang Tian Zheng was naturally displeased when he heard Xue Ming Zhi's reproachful words. Xue Ming Zhi did not object at all when he first told Xue Ming Zhi about his plan. However, now that the plan had failed, Xue Ming Zhi pushed all of the blame on him. Alas, even if he was displeased, there was nothing he could do. In the end, he only said, "I'll kill him personally. I hope you'll help me create a chance to kill him. I need you to lure Xue Hai Chuan away. No one can do this except for you."

The people with the highest status in the 10,000 Devils faction in the Flying Dragon Sect were only White Dragon Elders. Naturally, they could not order Xue Hai Chuan, who was also a White Dragon Elder, around.

"Alright," Xue Ming Zhi replied.

Kuang Tian Zheng felt relieved as soon as he received Xue Ming Zhi's reply. He was certain Xue Ming Zhi would do all he could to help him since Xue Ming Zhi desperately wanted to get rid of Duan Ling Tian as well.

'I'll go back and wait for Vice Sect Leader Xue's message. I hope he'll get back to me before Duan Ling Tian becomes a Lord of Gods. Otherwise, it'd be difficult for me to deal with him. At that time, the problem Xue Ming Zhi and I face will be even bigger,' Kuang Tian Zheng mused inwardly.

In Kuang Tian Zheng's opinion, even if Duan Ling Tian became stronger than him, he would still be safe as long as he stayed in the Flying Dragon Sect's estate. The real danger would be if Duan Ling Tian became stronger than Xue Ming Zhi. At that time, Xue Ming Zhi might even defect and help Duan Ling Tian to kill him in order to appease Duan Ling Tian. Naturally, if that happened, Kuang Tian Zheng planned to expose Xue Ming Zhi by telling Duan Ling Tian that Xue Ming Zhi was responsible for the assassination attempt on Linghu Ren Jie in the Linghu clan. At that time, it would be impossible for Xue Ming Zhi to get on Duan Ling Tian's good side. Naturally, he was unaware that Duan Ling Tian had already known about this matter.

'If push comes to shove, I should definitely expose Xue Ming Zhi and let him and Duan Ling Tian kill each other! After all, I have nothing to lose at this point…' Kuang Tian Zheng thought to himself, feeling slightly more relieved. Earlier, he was ready to give up his life. However, now, he felt that there was a slight chance that he might survive.

If Xue Ming Zhi was aware of Kuang Tian Zheneg's thoughts at this moment, he would have killed Kuang Tian Zheng immediately to get on Duan Ling Tian's good side.

…

Two years passed in just a blink of an eye.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian was already on the brink of becoming a Lord of Gods. His Divine Energy had also undergone a huge transformation. The only thing left was to break through the bottleneck, which he found difficult to do.

"It shouldn't be difficult for me to break through the bottleneck since I've consumed the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill. The only explanation is that the divine pill has lost its efficacy or my body has developed immunity against it…" Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as he sat cross-legged in the air. He was still staying in Xu Hai Chuan's cultivation ground.

Swoosh!

The space suddenly rippled before his doppelganger from the law of space. He had formed it again after the first one was destroyed. His second attempt only took half of the original time.

'It's strange that it was so peaceful over the past two years. I wonder why Kuang Tian Zheng and Xue Ming Zhi didn't make a move at all,' Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he thought to himself, 'Aren't they, especially Kuang Tian Zheng, worried about me becoming a Lord of Gods? After all, Kuang Tian Zheng won't be a match for me at all at that time. In any case, it's good that they didn't make a move, giving me a lot of time to cultivate.'

While Duan Ling Tian was immersed in his thoughts, he received a message from Xue Hai Chuan.

"Little Tian, I just received an order from a Black Dragon Elder to enter the Lord Battlefield with another few White Dragon Elders. A White Dragon Elder from the Hidden Fog faction had recently perished on the battlefield. This Black Dragon Elder has a good relationship with the Hidden Fog faction, and he's on the side of the other Vice Sect Leader who opposes Xue Ming Zhi. Hence, I don't think this is an attempt from Xue Ming Zhi trying to lure me away."

Duan Ling Tian felt at ease after listening to Xue Hai Chuan's words. Then, he asked solemnly, "Another White Dragon Elder has perished?"

This was the second White Dragon Elder to die during the Imperial War. On the other hand, the Tai Yi Sect had only lost two ordinary intermediate Lords of Gods. This meant that the Flying Dragon Sect was in a slightly disadvantageous position now.

"The Hidden Fog faction has also told me to enter the Lord Battlefield. I'm afraid I won't be able to refuse them," Xue Hai Chuan said.

"What about Brother Hai Shan?" Duan Ling Tian asked.

"My brother broke through and became a King of Gods two months ago. He's stabilizing his cultivation now. The faction knows about this as well. Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked me to enter the battlefield since it's impossible for me to agree to it," Xue Hai Chuan replied.

"Brother Hai Shan has become a King of Gods?" Duan Ling Tian's eyes lit up immediately. "Brother Hai Chuan, are you going to bring Brother Hai Shan into the Imperial War Realm as well?"

Xue Hai Chuan replied confidently with a nod, "That's right. Even if my brother doesn't enter the King Battlefield, the 10,000 Devils faction's Liu Yin won't dare to attack my brother in the Imperial War Realm. The Golden Dragon Elder in Flying Dragon City will definitely kill him before he can even kill my brother."

"What if the Golden Dragon Elder is on Liu Yin's side?" Duan Ling Tian asked.

"Impossible. The Golden Dragon Elders prioritized the sect's interest and has no interest in meddling with petty affairs such as this. Moreover, from what I know, they don't have a particularly close relationship with Xue Ming Zhi or the 10,000 Devils faction. Moreover, my potential is much bigger than Liu Yin's. Even if they don't take my side, they won't side with Liu Yin," Xue Hai Chuan said confidently.

"So you're only worried about me now, Brother Hai Chuan?" Duan Ling Tian asked.

Xue Hai Chuan replied, "Yes. That's why I want you to follow my brother and me into the Imperial War Realm for a period of time."
