Chapter 2377 The Sword Saint Secret Zone

“Speak.” In the pavilion, a handsome young man looked at the man standing outside the pavilion indifferently as he put away the guzheng that was floating in front of him.

“Yes,” the man replied deferentially, “Li Bing had returned to the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect even though it has nothing to do with the mission Lord Di Chen has sent him on. He had gone back to the sect to remove the new sect leader. He was very unhappy that the new sect leader has made a rule to prohibit members from the sect from antagonizing the Seven Absolutes Sect! Everything he did subsequently also had nothing to do with Lord Di Chen’s mission. He fought with the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny because he wanted to seek revenge for the former sect leader and show off to the Bodiless Celestials from the Black Kshetra Sect and Heaven Divination Sect.” He paused for a moment before he finally concluded his report. “To sum it up, Li Bing deserved an end worse than death!”

The handsome young man was Di Chen who had sent Li Bing out on a mission. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Indeed. He deserved an end worse than death!” His voice was so cold that it made the man standing outside the pavilion feel as though winter had arrived.

Di Chen’s eyes flashed coldly as he said, “However, even if he deserved an end worse than death, he was my man. We need to find out more about the person who killed Li Bing to avoid trouble in the future. Moreover, since he killed my man, I, naturally, have to obtain an explanation from him!”

As soon as Di Chen finished speaking, he disappeared from the pavilion and appeared above the valley. He said to the man outside of the pavilion, “Follow me to the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect!”

The man who was outside the pavilion was not a Bodiless Celestial from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, the Black Kshetra Sect or the Heaven Divination Sect. Similar to Di Chen, he was from the dragon clan. Currently, he had taken on the form of a middle-aged man.

“Yes, Lord Di Chen!” The middle-aged man instantly rose up into the sky and followed Di Chen. As he stared at Di Chen’s back, a frown appeared on his face. After a while, a hint of hesitance could be heard in his voice as he said in an attempt to dissuade Di Chen, ‘Our dragon clan has an agreement with Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang in the past. As long as the Seven Absolutes Sect doesn’t destroy the three great sects, we won’t intervene with any of their disputes. Duan Ling Tian, the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect, killing Li Bing can be considered as just a dispute between Seven Absolutes Sect and the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for you to act, Lord Di Chen. If the Supreme Elder or Lord Patriarch find out about this, I’m afraid they won’t allow you to act as well.’

However, Di Chen scoffed coldly. He said arrogantly, “If you don’t tell them about it, how will they know? Moreover, I’m only going to look for the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect for an explanation. If he sincerely kneels on the ground and apologizes, I’ll punish him lightly at the most”

When the middle-aged man heard Di Chen’s words, he laughed helplessly. ‘Kneel and apologize?’ That person was the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny and the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect. Moreover, he was also Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang’s direct successor. Such a person might not even kneel if the Patriarch of the dragon clan was there!

“Lord Di Chen…” The middle-aged man said. He still intended to try and dissuade Di Chen.

However, Di Chen did not give the middle-aged man a chance to finish his words. He barked, “Shut up! Come with me to the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. If I find out that you tell anyone about this matter, I won’t spare you!” After he finished speaking, he waved his hand.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunderous sounds rang in the air as Di Chen waved his hand. A majestic and terrifying force shot out of his hand and brought the middle-aged man along with him as he flew at an incredibly fast speed. In just a blink of an eye, they had left the valley, the dragon clan, and the 100,000 Towering Mountains! From afar, they looked like a shooting star falling across the sky from the eastern region to the western region.

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of what was happening. After he killed Li Bing, the Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, a month ago, he had bid Gan Ru Yan, the Sect Leader of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, goodbye and left the sect with Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, and Feng Tian Wu. They all decided to go to the northern region where the Seven Absolutes Sect’s temporary estate was located. Naturally, Chen Yi Ru, the Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, tagged along as well. Since Chen Yi Ru’s two servants had already acknowledged Gan Ru Yan as their master, both of them, naturally, stayed at the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect to a.s.sist her.

…

The western region snowed throughout the year.

A palace was built in a valley on one of the snow mountains.

Duan Ling Tian had arrived at the Seven Absolutes Sect for a month now. When they arrived, Feng Tian Wu had introduced him to the former successor of the Prophet Progeny, the Old Prophet. However, he had yet to meet the former successor of the Red Dust Progeny who was also Han Xue Nai’s master since she was not around.

However, when Duan Ling Tian had arrived at the Seven Absolutes Sect’s temporary estate, the Old Prophet had contacted the former successor of the Red Dust Progeny, Han Xue Nai’s master, and asked for her return. This was so she could use her power to call for the return of the other successors of the Seven Absolutes.

The day where all the successors of the Seven Absolutes would gather was nigh!

During this month, Duan Ling Tian had learned many things from the Old Prophet. Among them was the matter where the Old Prophet sent Yue Wu Ying, the current successor of the Dark Shadow Progeny, to the Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land to help his father. Moreover, he also learned that Nangong twins, the current successors of the Didymus Progeny, the Sixth Absolutes, were personally chosen by the Old Prophet because of their connection to Duan Ling Tian. In Gu Li and Feng Tian Wu’s case, it was a coincidence. The Old Prophet also revealed that he had nothing to do with Han Xue Nai being the successor of the Red Dust Progeny since she was handpicked by her master, the former successor of the Red Dust Progeny.

At this moment, two men were sitting in front of a square table in a pavilion near the palace. One of the men was Duan Ling Tian, and the other man was the former successor of the Prophet Progeny, the Second Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, the Old Prophet!

“Junior Uncle Prophet, is there something on your mind?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a hint of curiosity. He truly respected the Old Prophet, a senior in the Seven Absolutes Sect. He did not look down on the Old Prophet even though he was much stronger than him or because he was the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect.

“You’ve been here for a month now… Did you get enough rest?” The Old Prophet asked gently.

“Hmm.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

The Old Prophet did not beat around the bush and stated his intention directly, “I plan to talk to you about the Sword Saint Secret Zone that Senior Feng Qing Yang left behind!” He saw Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened as he continued to say, “I’m sure that girl, Tian Wu, has already told you about the Sword Saint Secret Zone. However, she doesn’t know much about it. Today, I’ll tell you about the Sword Saint Secret Zone.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. He looked at the Old Prophet intently as though he was afraid he would miss even a single word from the Old Prophet. Indeed, Feng Tian Wu had told him about the Sword Saint Secret Zone when they left the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. She only told him that the Sovereign Heart Sword was not the only thing that Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang left behind. Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang had also left the second part of his inheritance in the Saint Sword Secret Zone. However, whether he would be able to successfully obtain the second part of his inheritance would depend on his luck.

Feng Tian Wu also revealed what the Old Prophet had told her. She had said that if Duan Ling Tian entered the Sword Saint Secret Zone and successfully obtained the inheritance, he would become a lot stronger. Even if his strength was not at Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang’s level, the gap would not be too wide.

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, filled with antic.i.p.ation and curiosity when he heard this. However, when he arrived at the Seven Absolutes Sect’s temporary estate in the northern region, the Old Prophet did not bring up the topic of the Sword Saint Secret Zone. As a matter of fact, he had already planned to ask about the Sword Saint Secret Zone in these few days. Who knew the Old Prophet would take the initiative to speak about it today?

The Old Prophet did not waste time and began to reveal what he knew about the Sword Saint Secret Zone to Duan Ling Tian. “The Sword Saint Secret Zone…” When he spoke about the Sword Saint Secret Zone, his tone was reverent.

…

Meanwhile, in the western region. The Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s estate.

The Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect was in chaos at this moment.

A handsome young man who had traveled a long way stared at Gan Ru Yan, the Sect Leader of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, and the high-ranking officials flanking her as he said coldly, “I’ll wait for Duan Ling Tian for 10 days… After 10 days, if he doesn’t show up, I’ll certainly kill you!” It seemed as though he did not care that the person before him was a beautiful woman at all, causing him to look even more merciless.

As soon as he finished speaking, he arrogantly brought the middle-aged man who followed him here into Gan Ru Yan’s cultivation place. He made that place his resting place as though it was normal.

Gan Ru Yan and the others did not even dare to make a sound of protest. After all, one of Gan Ru Yan’s followers, the skinny middle-aged man who was at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, had been killed by the young man’s servant with just a palm strike.
