War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 3515: The Title Temple’s Left Guardian

Tang San Pao’s master was Xu Kong Hai’s Senior Brother?

A solemn expression appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face when he saw Xu Kong Hai’s display of strength and heard his words. He did not expect there to be such a connection between them. From what he understood, Tang San Pao’s master was living in seclusion. However, his master still maintained a position in the Title Temple. His master should also have a good relationship with the Title Temple. Otherwise, how could Tang San Pao be chosen to be the heir of the Title Temple? Needless to say, the Title Temple Xu Kong Hai mentioned was the main Title Temple.

“When Tang San Pao’s master fought you back then, was he just trying to probe your strength?” Duan Ling Tian asked Feng Qing Yang through Voice Transmission.

“We’ll talk about this later…” Feng Qing Yang replied swiftly, “Someone’s here.”

‘Someone is here?’

Duan Ling Tian was taken aback by these words and instinctively looked around before following his master’s gaze. Then, he saw the silhouette of a figure hidden behind the clouds.

As the figure drew closer, many people began to notice his presence as well.

Swoosh!

The figure finally relieved itself above the venue of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses. It was a skinny old man dressed in a long black robe. His face was expressionless, but his gaze was piercing. His brows were white, and the way they were slightly slanted up made him look formidable. After he appeared, he did not say anything and looked down on the crowd.

“Left Guardian.”

After the old man appeared, Xu Kong Hai glanced at Zhou Bing Wu with a hint of pity as he sighed inwardly. Zhou Bing Wu had completed the task he had entrusted him rather well. Who knew Zhou Bing Wu would be so bold as to harbor the intention of killing Tan San Pao after the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses ended. This itself was a great offense against the Title Temple.

Not only was Tang San Pao the disciple of a reclusive high-ranking powerhouse, but he was also the successor of the Temple Master of the main Title Temple. From the moment he was chosen to be the successor, the Left Guardian of the main Title Temple had been tasked with protecting him. This was a benefit of being the successor of the Temple Master of the main Title Temple.

Initially, Xu Kong Hai thought he could spare Zhou Bing Wu since Zhou Bing Wu seemed sincere when apologizing. However, now that the Left Guardian had shown up, he knew it was over for Zhou Bing Wu.

“Vice Temple Master Xu, why didn’t you kill him?” the old man asked coldly as he looked at Xu Kong Hai.

Xu Kong Hai smiled wryly. “Left Guardian, he has completed a few tasks rather well for the Title Temple in the past. The Temple Master had been appreciative as well…”

“So that’s the reason he’s allowed to live after threatening to kill our Young Master?” the old man, the Left Guardian of the main Title Temple asked coldly.

Xu Kong Hai remained silent. Naturally, he knew those reasons were not enough to keep Zhou Bing Wu alive.

The old man sneered and casually lifted his hand in Zhou Bing Wu’s direction.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Five huge green veins shot out and restrained Zhou Bing Wu before he could react or mobilize his Celestial Origin Energy. His expression changed drastically. When his Celestial Origin finally surged out, the veins tightened around him even more. Apart from that, the veins would also whip him occasionally. Soon enough, he was horrified when he discovered his Celestial Origin Energy that had been imbued with the profundities of the law comprehended was fading away. He could also feel a terrifying energy entering his body. In just a moment, the intrusive energy stirred up the energy in his body, severely injuring him.

The excruciating pain in his body forced him to throw up blood continuously. He had just begun to heal from the injuries Xu Kong Hai had inflicted on him, but then he was injured again.

“You’re the Heavenly Emperor of the Equally Prosperous Heaven who’s ranked fourth on the Heavenly Emperors ranking? Is that why you’re so bold to attempt to kill our temple’s heir?”

The veins tightened again causing Zhou Bing Wu to spit out yet another mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as paper now. He struggled to say, “Left Guardian… i-it’s a misunderstanding… a misunderstanding…”

Nevertheless, the old man ignored Zhou Bing Wu. He released his hold on the other end of vines. Following that, like a lighted fuse, flames traveled down the vines toward Zhou Bing Wu and exploded when they reached him.

Just like that, Zhou Bing Wu, the Heavenly Emperor of the Primeval Heaven, was blown to pieces and died. Even his Spatial Ring was destroyed. Nothing was left of him.

The crowd was stunned silent as they watched the old man kill Zhou Bing Wu. When they regained their senses, they inhaled sharply. Then, they turned to look at the black-clad old man. All of them were certain the old man was a god. Based on their conversation, the old man should hold equal or higher rank than Xu Kong Hai. His strength was also likely on par with or stronger than Xu Kong Hai.

Swoosh!

Before everyone regained their senses, the old man vanished from sight as though he was never there in the first place. With this, everyone knew the old man must have been watching over and protecting Tang San Pao secretly.

From the moment the old man appeared to kill Zhou Bing Wu, he did not speak to Tang San Pao at all. He did his job and left.

With this, everyone began to look at Tang San Pao warily. After all, a Heavenly Emperor of a Devata Realm who was ranked fourth on the Heavenly Emperors ranking had died because of Tang San Pao.

The other Heavenly Emperors who were weaker than Zhou Bing Wu began to worry. It was clear to them now that if the Title Temple decided to deal with them, they would not be able to resist as well.

At this time, Xu Kong Hai finally said, pulling everyone back to their senses, “The Devata Realms’ Battle of Geniuses will resume. Since Zhou Yong Qi died, those ranked behind him will move up a place. For example, Sima Rui who’s ranked 7th will now be ranked 6th…”

With Zhou Yong Qi’s death, there was now an empty spot in the top 30 places.

After a beat, Xu Kong Hai continued to say, “Duan Ling Tian, the fifth participant, please step forward.”

At this moment, Tang San Pao had already left the battle ring. However, he did not return to sit with Duan Ling Tian and the others. Instead, he found a place where there was no one and took a seat there.

Those in Tang San Pao’s vicinity looked at him curiously, but they hurriedly looked away when he frowned and looked at them.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian finally entered the battle ring.

Many people were curious about who he was going to challenge.

“Duan Ling Tian is as strong as a top Five Star God of War. Among those ranked above him, Zhong Gui Yu seemed to be the weakest. Will he challenge Zhong Gui Yu?”

“That’s possible. By choosing Zhong Gui Yu, he might be able to advance.”

“If I were him, I’d challenge Zhong Gui Yu.”

The crowd speculation was right. Duan Ling Tian ended up challenging Zhong Gui Yu.

“Duan Ling Tian.” Zhong Gui Yu smiled bitterly. “What are you doing? I’m no match for you. You’re as strong as a top Five Star God of War.”

“Hm?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned. “I remember you told me through Voice Transmission that you hope I won’t disappoint you when you first revealed you’re as strong as a Five Star God of War. Isn’t this what you want?”

Upon hearing these words, Zhong Gui Yu smiled wryly. “You challenged me because of that?”

Zhong Gui Yu was dumbfounded. Was Duan Ling Tian feigning ignorance or what? Was it not obvious by now that he was not a match for Duan Ling Tian. For Duan Ling Tian to challenge him now, was it now to embarrass him?

Meanwhile, the spectators were stunned as well.

“So Duan Ling Tian challenged Zhong Gui Yu not because Zhong Gui Yu is the weakest, but because Zhong Gui Yu had provoked him before?”

Someone laughed. “This is interesting. Zhong Gui Yu must have said those words to Duan Ling Tian at that time because he didn’t think Duan Ling Tian was as strong as a top Five Star God of War!”

The crowd’s eyes brightened as they waited to watch the chaos that was about to ensue.
