War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 3911 - Long Qing Chong’s Savior

After leaving Long Qing Chong’s cultivation ground, Ding Yan asked in confusion, “That’s it?”

“The sect leader wanted to meet me just to ask that question. Since he has obtained the answer, we naturally have to leave. What’s the matter? Were you thinking of staying and having dinner there as well?” Duan Ling Tian asked teasingly.

“Of course not,” Ding Yan said sheepishly, “I just didn’t expect everything to end so quickly. We left almost as soon as we arrived…”

At this moment, a thought appeared in Ding Yan’s mind. His expression turned solemn as he asked, “Who’s more likely to be the culprit? Vice Sect Leader Xue or the 10,000 Devils Sect?”

“I don’t know.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. He really did not know.

Duan Ling Tian’s conflict with the 10,000 Devils Sect began a long time ago. His conflict with Xue Ming Zhi also stemmed from the 10,000 Devils Sect. After all, Xue Ming Zhi’s son-in-law, Zhong Can, was from the 10,000 Devils Sect.

Xue Ming Zhi only had one daughter so he loved his daughter greatly.

Previously, when Kuang Tian Zheng attempted to kill Duan Ling Tian, everyone related to him, except for Zhong Can, was executed. It was only due to Zhong Can’s identity as Xue Ming Zhi’s son-in-law that he managed to escape death.

“You don’t know?” Ding Yan was slightly surprised. Then, he said, “Just like you said to the sect leader, now that death warriors are gone, it’d be hard to look for clues. Unless the sect leader demands the 10,000 Devils Sect and Xue Ming Zhi to swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath that they have nothing to do with it!” However, after a moment, he frowned and said, “Wait, you can only use the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath to guarantee you’ll keep your word in the future. It has no effect on what has happened in the past1…”

“How frustrating,” Ding Yan said, irritated.

Duan Ling Tian said, amused, “Frustrating? Even I, the victim, don’t feel frustrated. So don’t feel frustrated. Come on, stop thinking about it. There’s nothing we can do anyway. Just let the sect leader handle it.”

Duan Ling Tian knew that whether the culprit was the 10,000 Devils Sect or Xue Ming Zhi, there was nothing he could do now. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

Perhaps, with his current strength, he might be able to stir up trouble in the lord-rank 10,000 Devils Sect. However, due to his status as a disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect and the 10,000 Devils faction in the sect, it would be troublesome for him to do so. The two White Dragon Elders from the 10,000 Devils factions would not sit and do nothing if the 10,000 Devils Sect was in trouble. Moreover, there were also other Lords of Gods in the 10,000 Devils Sect.

As for Xue Ming Zhi, he was a little stronger than an ordinary Black Dragon Elder. With Duan Ling Tian’s current strength, it was impossible for him to kill Xue Ming Zhi even if he went all out. Apart from that, due to experience, Xue Ming Zhi’s comprehension of the law might be even more profound than his. All in all, the gap between their strengths was too wide.

“You’re right,” Ding Yan said with a nod. Then, he said reassuringly, “Don’t worry. Even if the sect leader doesn’t seek justice for you. At the rate you’re growing, it won’t be long before you can seek revenge on your own. If you don’t know who did it, then just deal with both Xue Ming Zhi and the 10,000 Devils Sect.”

Based on these words, it was clear Ding Yan was very confident about Duan Ling Tian’s growth.

Upon hearing Ding Yan’s words, he was briefly stunned. When he recovered his senses, he could not help but laugh.

…

After Duan Ling Tian and Ding Yan left, Long Qing Chong left his cultivation ground as well. When he arrived at a valley, he sent a message.

Not long after, another person at the valley. It was none other than Xue Ming Zhi, the Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect.

When Xue Ming Zhi saw Long Qing Chong, he was panicking inwardly even though he remained calm outwardly. ‘Could he have found out about it? No, that’s impossible. In the entire sect, only my daughter and I know about it. It’s unlikely that he knows anything…’

Although Xue Ming Zhi was also an advanced Lord of Gods, as Long Qing Chong’s junior brother, he deeply respected Long Qing Chong. Moreover, Long Qing Chong was the leader of his generation. When he was young, Long Qing Chong had always been his goal. He had always hoped to catch up to Long Qing Chong. Alas, reality was brutal. As time passed, Long Qing Chong continued to surpass him by leaps and bounds, and he completely gave up on catching up to Long Qing Chong, let alone surpassing Long Qing Chong.

Long Qing Chong smiled and asked, “What’s wrong, Junior Brother Xue? Are you not going to invite me and let me stand here?”

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming Zhi hurriedly said, “I apologize for my rudeness. Please come in, please come in.”

Xue Ming Zhi led Long Qing Chong to his courtyard, and he did not sit down until Long Qing Chong took a seat. His respect for Long Qing Chong was deeply engraved in his bones. He asked, “Sect leader, what’s the matter? Do you have any orders for me?”

Long Qing Chong looked at Xue Ming Zhi quietly after he placed his right hand on the stone table and began to tap it with his finger.

“Sect leader…” Xue Ming Zhi’s panic grew even more in his heart when he saw Long Qing Chong’s behavior.

Finally, Long Qing Chong stopped tapping the table. His gaze was profound as he asked, “Junior Brother Xue, I heard that you have a grudge against Duan Ling Tian?”

Xue Ming Zhi feigned a stunned expression on his face before he said, “Sect leader, I think you’re mistaken. I’ve not met Duan Ling Tian so how could I have a grudge against him?”

“You’ve never met him? Are you sure? Have you never hid in the dark to observe him?” Long Qing Chong asked knowingly.

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming Zhi’s expression changed slightly. He knew what Long Qing Chong meant. During the Latent Dragon Grand Contest, he hid in the crowd and threatened Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission, saying he would kill Linghu Ren Jie, the former Clan Leader of the Linghu clan, if Duan Ling Tian did not lower his ranking.

Duan Ling Tian disregarded his threat so he had sent a Black Dragon Elder to kill Linghu Ren Jie in the Linghu clan. However, the elder died in the Linghu clan, killed by an Emperor of Gods from the Linghu clan. He only found out about this when the Emperor of Gods, Linghu Ren Feng, looked for him in the Flying Dragon Sect.

Long Qing Chong said, “You hid yourself among the crowd during the Latent Dragon Grand Contest. Not long after that, Xu Tong Yuan, a Black Dragon Elder, visited you and left the sect. After that, he died outside of the sect. Moreover, the Emperor of Gods who broke our Guarding Formation came to look for you, right? Can you fill in the details for me?”

Long Qing Chong looked at Xue Ming Zhi with a slight smile on his face.

Xue Ming Zhi’s expressions changed drastically upon hearing Long Qing Chong’s words. He said tremblingly, “S-sect, sect leader, you, you’re… aware of all that…”

Xue Ming Zhi did not expect Long Qing Chong to know so much. Long Qing Chong even knew the Emperor of Gods had come to the Flying Dragon Sect because of him. This meant that Long Qing Chong could sense Linghu Ren Feng’s whereabouts in the sect, and most importantly, it meant that Long Qing Chong’s strength was almost that of an Emperor of Gods. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a Lord of Gods to sense the whereabouts of an Emperor of Gods.

“Tell me,” Long Qing Chong said again with a slight smile on his face.

The smile on Long Qing Chong’s face terrified Xue Ming Zhi even more. However, he dared not speak.

Long Qing Chong saw Xue Ming Zhi keeping quiet, and his smile vanished immediately. He sighed and said, “Junior Brother Xue, we’ve known each other for a very long time so I won’t harm you. I promise you’ll be fine.” After a brief pause, he continued to say, “Before our masters fell out, your master once saved my life while I was outside. I can’t repay him for saving my life, but I can return the favor to you.”

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming Zhi’s eyes widened. He was unaware of this. Then, he suddenly recalled how easy it was for him to rise in ranks in the Flying Dragon Sect as though there was an invisible force helping him. As it turned out, it was all due to Long Qing Chong.

When Xue Ming Zhi saw the sincere expression on Long Qing Chong’s face, he said bitterly, “Senior Brother Long, I went to the Latent Dragon Grand Contest to threaten Duan Ling Tian because of my daughter. She didn’t want Duan Ling Tian to rank in the top 10 and obtain the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill. That’s when I threatened to kill Linghu Ren Jie if Duan Ling Tian did not lower his rank. When Duan Ling Tian didn’t do as I said, I sent Xu Tong Yuan to the Linghu clan to kill Linghu Ren Jie after promising him some benefits. I didn’t expect Xu Tong Yuan to die there. He was killed by Linghu Ren Feng, the sister of Linghu Ren Jie, the former Clan Leader of the Linghu clan. She’s also the Emperor of Gods who came to our sect. I investigated her. She left the Profound Energy Land and went to the Divine Offering Land a long time ago. I didn’t expect her to become an Emperor of Gods. ”
