4439 Wang Luo Yu’s Choice

After mulling over Duan Ling Tian's words for a moment, Situ Lei said, "Under normal circumstances, they should be able to do so. Although World Supreme Powerhouses are supreme powerhouses like me, their strength is significantly stronger than other supreme powerhouses. Not only does their strength increase significantly, but their souls will also be greatly enhanced…"

Situ Lei had emphasized the word 'should' because he had never met a World Supreme Powerhouse before, and his knowledge of them was limited to what he had heard. He looked at Duan Ling Tian again and said, "I've never met a World Supreme Powerhouse before so I can only speculate. Based on my knowledge, I think that a World Supreme Powerhouse specializing in soul techniques should be able to undo the technique of a supreme powerhouse from the Soul Imprisonment Clan. I'm not sure if other World Supreme Powerhouses would be able to undo it…"

Situ Lei's earlier words had given Duan Ling Tian a little hope, and after listening to Situ Lei again, he became even more hopeful.

Indeed. A World Supreme Powerhouse, who was skilled in soul techniques, was highly likely able to save Ke'er even if those who were not skilled in soul techniques could not.

"Little Li Feng, why did you suddenly ask about this? Is the soul of your loved one imprisoned by a supreme powerhouse from the Soul Imprisonment Clan? Can't the supreme powerhouse backing you undo the technique?" Situ Lei asked, feeling a little suspicious when he saw the excitement on Duan Ling Tian's face.

Duan Ling Tian nodded when he thought about the ancestor of the Xia clan, who could not free Ke'er's soul from the soul imprisonment technique. He sighed and said, "After all, not all supreme powerhouses are capable of breaking or undoing soul techniques…"

Situ Lei was not surprised. He knew it was impossible for most supreme powerhouses to undo the soul technique of a supreme powerhouse from the Soul Imprisonment clan unless they specialized in soul techniques. At the same time, he finally confirmed that there was no World Supreme Powerhouse backing Duan Ling Tian and was slightly surprised. In his opinion, only a World Supreme Powerhouse could cultivate a heaven-defying prodigy like Duan Ling Tian. Without the help of a World Supreme Powerhouse, it was hard to imagine how difficult it had been for Duan Ling Tian to come so far. How could he not be surprised by this revelation?

'In any case, as long as he doesn't die prematurely, he'll definitely become a famous figure in the Outer Boundary and Myriad Worlds,' Situ Lei thought to himself.

Duan Ling Tian no longer asked any questions about soul techniques. He bade farewell to Situ Lei and flew toward the courtyard where the Wang clan had arranged for him to stay. Wang Luo Yu was still waiting for him after all.

Situ Lei also finally left the Wang clan's estate. Before he left, he went to look for Wang Kui, the Clan Leader of the Wang clan, to inform Wang Kui about his departure. Apart from that, he also told Wang Kui to look for him if Duan Ling Tian ran into any trouble in the future. As long as it was within his capability, he would help Duan Ling Tian. Based on his attitude, it was obvious that he had gained a lot from Duan Ling Tian over the past three years.

However, Duan Ling Tian thought that it was unlikely that he would meet Situ Lei again after they parted. Even if he did, it would likely be the time when he used the Supreme Spirit Blood Essence that Situ Lei had given him. If he used the Supreme Spirit Blood Essence, he would likely have more intersections with Situ Lei since he would have to repay the favor.

…

Wang Luo Yu, who had been waiting for three years, finally saw Duan Ling Tian.

"Brother Duan!"

Duan Ling Tian smiled slightly and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting. You should start making preparations. We'll leave tomorrow."

Duan Ling Tian did not plan to stay any longer in the Wang clan. The sooner he brought Wang Luo Yu away, the sooner he would fulfill his promise to Wang Yi Yuan.

Upon hearing these words, a hesitant expression appeared on Wang Luo Yu's face. After a moment, she mustered up her courage and said, "Brother Duan, with your current status in the Wang clan, even if you leave without me, the clan won't dare to let me remarry…"

Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback when he heard Wang Luo Yu's words. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he understood the situation immediately.

Over the past three years, Duan Ling Tian had done the Wang clan a huge favor by strengthening the relationship between the Wang clan and Situ Lei, the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Wang clan to mistreat Wang Luo Yu. After all, in the Wang clan's eyes, she was the wife of 'Li Feng'.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. Previously, he was not certain if the Wang clan's attitude toward Wang Luo Yu would change if he left. However, currently, he was certain that the Wang clan's attitude toward Wang Luo Yu would not change after his departure. After all, not only did the Wang clan have to consider his potential and the 'powerful force' he came from outside the Divine Sand Realm, but they now also owed him a huge favor after he discussed the Sword Dao with Situ Lei. Considering all these things, even if he left the Wang clan for a thousand years, the Wang clan still would not mistreat Wang Luo Yu.

Finally, Duan Ling Tian asked, "Are you sure?"

Wang Luo Yu nodded and replied, "I'm sure. I grew up in the Wang clan after all. I've never been to any other places and have been in Blue Dawn City all my life. If I have a choice, I would rather not leave. Brother Duan, my brother asked you to bring me away because he didn't want the Wang clan to control my fate. However, thanks to you, the Wang clan won't do that. I'm sure the Wang clan won't make me do anything I don't want until the day I die from the Heavenly Tribulation…"

After a beat, Wang Luo Yu added, "For this reason, even if you didn't bring me away, you'll still fulfill your promise to my brother. After all, this is my own choice."

Duan Ling Tian thought about it for a moment before he said, "There's a problem you have to consider… If you stay in the Wang clan, it'll be difficult for you to remarry if you meet someone you like. The Wang clan is unlikely to allow you to remarry…"

Upon hearing these words, a pretty smile appeared on Wang Luo Yu's face as she said, "Brother Duan, I don't plan to marry again in my life… I'm happy being single…"

Duan Ling Tian sighed when he heard her reply. He said, "You should think about this again. I'll give you three days. After three days, you can decide then if you want to leave with me. I… I think your brother must also hope that you'll find your happiness in the future. I don't think you'll be able to do that in the Wang clan. If you leave the Wang clan, you'll be able to pursue your happiness…"

If Wang Luo Yu stayed in the Wang clan, she would forever carry the label of Li Feng's wife. With how much the Wang clan valued Li Feng, it was impossible for the clan to allow Wang Luo Yu to remarry. Even if the clan could not confirm if he had a powerful background or not, based on his relationship with Situ Lei, they definitely would hold him in high regard. After all, no one knew better than the Wang clan that Situ Lei was a grateful man.

After Duan Ling Tian left, leaving Wang Luo Yu alone in the room, she sighed and murmured, "Brother Duan, after meeting you, I finally realized that the perfect man exists. With you serving as a comparison, it'll be impossible for me to fall in love with another man in the future. As such, it's better for me to spend the rest of my life alone…"

Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian did not hear these words.

…

Three days later…

Duan Ling Tian was leaving the Wang clan alone.

Wang Kui; the Clan Leader of the Wang clan, Wang Jing Rao; the Supreme Elder of the Wang clan, and Wang Luo Yu stood at the entrance to send Duan Ling Tian off.

"Clan leader, supreme elder, I have something urgent to attend to so I'll be away for a while. Please look after Luo Yu on my behalf…" Duan Ling Tian said. However, he knew that even if he did not speak up, Wang Kui and Wang Jing Rao would definitely look after Wang Luo Yu.

Wang Kui smiled happily and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Li Feng. Later, I'll make an announcement about my decision to recognize Luo Yu as my sister. The supreme elder will also recognize her as his daughter. With that, she can be considered the princess of the Wang clan…"

Wang Jing Rao, who was standing at the side, nodded and said with a smile, "That's right. Don't worry. I assure you that no one will harm Luo Yu as long as the Wang clan remains standing."

"Duan… Brother Feng…" Wang Luo Yu called out. However, she could not finish her words as tears began to well up in her eyes. A reluctant expression could be seen on her face when she looked at Duan Ling Tian. Although they were not real husband and wife, she still felt sad and reluctant to part. After all, it was all thanks to him that she was now living a good life in the Wang clan.

"I'll be back as soon as possible," Duan Ling Tian said with a faint smile. Then, he bade farewell to everyone and flew away from the Wang clan and Blue Dawn City.

The trio from the Wang clan watched Duan Ling Tian leave and only returned to their senses when they could no longer see him.

…

Just as Duan Ling Tian flew out of Blue Dawn City, a figure in the corner of the city flew after him, following him from a distance.

"Based on my observation, there shouldn't be any powerhouse protecting him secretly unless the other party is a supreme powerhouse, and I was unable to detect the other party's presence. I'll follow him first and continue to observe the situation…"

The person tailing Duan Ling Tian was dressed in a black robe, and his face was hidden. However, when he moved, he looked like a green saber, crossing thousands of miles in just a blink of an eye.
