Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the blue-clad middle-aged man, an Old Ancestor of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, mourned the death of his brother, a bone-chilling killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He could not wait to grind Duan Ling Tian’s bones and scatter his ashes to avenge his twin brother’s death! Tears welled up in his eyes again as his eyes shifted to the blood mist that was gradually dispersing in the air. Zhou Ming was his dearest twin brother, and both of them shared a close bond. They had depended on each other since they were young. After witnessing Zhou Ming’s death, how could he not be consumed with revenge? However, he also knew how insignificantly weak he was compared to Duan Ling Tian after witnessing Duan Ling Tian’s display of strength. Therefore, he could only forcibly suppress the storm of hatred in him.

“Zhou Ming!” The expression of the old man, another Old Ancestor of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, changed drastically when he witnessed Zhou Ming’s death. His eyes brimmed with horror as he looked at the purple-clad young man who had killed a Ten Directions Celestial Duke who was only slightly weaker than him. Zhou Ming did not even have a chance to defend himself! Based on this, he knew he was not a match for Duan Ling Tian at all.

“Ju-junior Uncle Ming!” Bai Wu Ji, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, cried out after he regained his senses. Similarly, his eyes were filled with horror as well when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was as though he was seeing the Grim Reaper himself, here to harvest the souls of the members of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. It was clear to him how formidable Duan Ling Tian was. After all, even his junior uncle, a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, was easily killed by Duan Ling Tian. The fear on his face intensified as he thought to himself, ‘Even a quasi Celestial King couldn’t have easily killed Junior Uncle Ming… This Duan Ling Tian… Could he have become a Celestial King?’

Although the other high-ranking officials and disciples of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect could not see what happened earlier, based on the tense atmosphere and Zhou Ming’s sudden absence, they could tell Duan Ling Tian had, indeed, killed Zhou Ming. They were in shock and disbelief that a young man who was not even 100 years old was capable of killing their old ancestor who was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke in just a blink of an eye. Who was this young man?

“Dead?”

“Old Ancestor Zhou Ming is dead?”

“Duan Ling Tian is capable of killing Old Ancestor Zhou Ming?”

“Old Ancestor Zhou Ming’s a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, but he’s able to kill Old Ancestor Zhou Ming so quickly and effortlessly. Not even a quasi Celestial King is capable of such a feat, right?”

“I-is it possible that he’s a Celestial King?”

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian looked at Bai Wu Ji coldly and asked in a flippant tone, “Sect Leader Bai… can you summon your son here now?”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Bai Wu Ji’s expression turned grim at once. Nevertheless, he cupped his fists together and replied, “Master Duan, I’ll fetch my unfilial son here at once!” As soon as he finished speaking, he took off in the direction of the Profound Heaven Limit where his only son, Bai Yu Xuan, was in closed-door cultivation.

The old man, one of the Old Ancestors of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, quickly said, “Master Duan, I’ll accompany the sect leader and make sure Bai Yu Xuan doesn’t put up a resistance!”

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian did not stop the old man. He knew the old man was worried Bai Wu Ji might release his son and allow his son to flee or even flee along with his son. If that were to happen, the old man knew disaster would definitely rain on the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect!

After putting Zhou Ming’s Spatial Ring away, Duan Ling Tian moved in a flash and returned to Huan’er’s side as he waited for Bai Wu Ji to bring his son, Bai Yu Xuan, the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, over.

Huan’er held onto Duan Ling Tian’s arm and leaned against him, clearly unfazed by Duan Ling Tian’s display of strength.

Even Tie Tai He seemed unsurprised by Duan Ling Tian’s strength. After all, he had witnessed Duan Ling Tian killing Li An, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, who was a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke. Moreover, according to Duan Ling Tian, he had also killed Li Ping, the other Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, after Li Ping had broken through and became a Celestial King. Even a Celestial King was no match for Duan Ling Tian, what could a Ten Directions Celestial Duke do to Duan Ling Tian? It was only natural that Zhou Ming was so quickly and effortlessly killed by Duan Ling Tian.

As the trio from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect waited, the high-ranking officials and disciples of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect were too afraid to speak. What if they accidentally offended Duan Ling Tian and incurred his wrath? They were plagued with anxiety and fear, and the feelings only grew stronger as time slowly passed.

After a while, Bai Wu Ji’s voice rang in the air. “Master Duan, I’ve brought my son here!” He appeared with a confused-looking young man in tow. The young man was none other than Bai Yu Xuan, the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.

Upon seeing this, the high-ranking officials and the disciples of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect finally heaved a huge sigh of relief.

In just a moment, Bai Wu Ji brought Bai Yu Xuan before Duan Ling Tian.

‘Duan Ling Tian?’ Bai Yu Xuan was thoroughly shocked when he saw Duan Ling Tian. He was unaware of what had happened outside the Profound Heaven Limit since he was in closed-door cultivation. He had no clue the Master Duan his father had mentioned was Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Bai Yu Xuan who was hovering in the air in front of him and said with a faint smile on his face, “Young master, we meet again.”

“You… Why are you here?” Bai Yu Xuan stammered. He could sense something was amiss.

Before Duan Ling Tian could reply, Bai Wu Ji cried out, “Master Duan!” Then, he truthfully recounted Bai Yu Xuan’s plot against He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. After that, he earnestly said, “Master Duan, I was truly unaware of it in the beginning. I’m at fault for shielding him even after I learned of the truth. Therefore, Master Duan, please take my life as well after you kill this unfilial son of mine to avenge Old Ancestor He Shan… However, I beg you to spare the innocent lives of the people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect and the sect itself!”

The high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect were moved by Bai Wu Ji’s actions and words. All of them began to harshly reprimand Bai Yu Xuan one after another.

“Sect leader! This is all young master’s fault. You’re not to be blamed since you’re unaware of his evil scheme.”

“That’s right, sect leader… Young master should pay with his life, but there’s no need for you to bear his responsibilities!”

“Sect leader!”

After hearing the words of the high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, Bai Wu Ji smiled mirthlessly and said, “A father should be held accountable for his son’s faults. As his father, I have to take responsibility for his actions as well.” Then, he turned to Duan Ling Tian and said, “Master Duan, on account of my genuine remorse, I beg you to spare the sect and its member…” As soon as he finished speaking, his Celestial Origin Energy spiked and surged from his body.

Swoosh!

Boom!

In the next moment, Bai Wu Ji shot up into the sky like a launched rocket and exploded with a loud bang. At the same time, a fog of blood appeared and rained down as Bai Wu Ji’s Spatial Ring fell to the ground.

At this moment, someone cried out, “Master Duan!” Soon after, a figure appeared in the sky from afar. It did not take long before he appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian and solemnly said, “The sect leader is telling the truth… I can attest to that! Bai Yu Xuan is solely responsible for Old Ancestor He Shan’s death!”

The man was none other than He Pei Yuan, the supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. He was someone Duan Ling Tian was rather familiar with. In fact, during the Alchemy Conference, he had left Duan Ling Tian with a good impression.

“Junior granduncle, help me…” The terrified Bai Yu Xuan begged the blue-clad middle-aged man. His face was pale; he was confused. He did not understand why his father would commit suicide. Nevertheless, he knew Duan Ling Tian was not someone whom they could afford to offend.

The blue-clad middle-aged was Zhou Wen, Zhou Ming’s twin brother.
