“Wait a minute… Yan Ru Yv, are you saying that Duan Ling Tian is the Profound Nether Mansion’s Duan Ling Tian?” Hou Tong Xuan, the core disciple from the Wind Thunder Dao Sect, looked at Yan Ru Yv with an expression of disbelief.

The others were similarly shocked by Yan Ru Yv’s words as well.

“Is this true?”

“This is ridiculous. He was just a Ten Directions Celestial Duke thirty years ago. You’re saying after thirty years, he managed to rank 13th during his first visit to the upper realm?”

“Yan Ru Yv, are you sure?”

Everyone present on the scene looked at Yan Ru Yv with varying expressions of disbelief.

“Why would I lie?” Yan Ru Yv shook his head. “It’s the truth. If any of you runs into him, you can ask him about it.”

“It’s hard to believe that he managed to achieve so much in the upper realm after only thirty years.” Hou Tong Xuan sighed.

A green-clad young man said with a scoff, “In my opinion, he must have relied on that woman next to him to climb up to the 13th place.”

“Hu Lei, don’t jump to conclusions… Duan Ling Tian is not as simple as you think,” Yan Ru Yv said. Although he was not acquainted with Duan Ling Tian, he had watched Duan Ling Tian rise step by step.

“It seems like you know him very well…” Hu Lei, a lineal disciple of the Hu Clan that was one of the Ten Major Clans in the Southern Heaven Territory, said.

“I don’t know much about him… However, do you think someone who’s capable of s.n.a.t.c.hing the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit from a reincarnated Celestial Emperor is simple?” Yan Ru Yv asked as he looked at Hu Lei.

“The Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit?!”

Everyone was shocked again when they heard Yan Ru Yv’s words.

“So that rumor is true?”

“I’ve heard the elders mention it, but I thought it’s just a rumor.”

“He robbed a reincarnated Celestial Emperor of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits? It doesn’t sound believable to me…”

The people present on the scene were clearly skeptical.

“It’s true,” Yan Ru Yv said, “The son of Chen Yuan Shan, the Vice Leader of the Blood Skull Gang, is a friend of mine. He was the one who accepted the job to a.s.sa.s.sinate Duan Ling Tian. Back then, Duan Ling Tian was only an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial. Even if it wasn’t completely due to his own strength, he managed to kill or evade the a.s.sa.s.sins from the Blood Skull Gang. I’m sure all of you know that even the weakest a.s.sa.s.sins from the Blood Skull Gang are One Basic Celestial Kings. In any case, it’s true that he managed to obtain the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit and quickly became a Ten Directions Celestial Duke.”

With these words, everyone was convinced of the veracity of Yan Ru Yv’s words. After all, just like Yan Ru Yv had said, there was no reason for him to lie at all.

“It seems like Duan Ling Tian really isn’t simple…”

“Robbing a reincarnated Celestial Emperor of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit… I’m not confident I’ll be able to pull off such a feat.”

“That’s right. Moreover, that reincarnated Celestial Emperor must have plotted carefully before making a move, and yet, he was still thwarted by Duan Ling Tian. In the past, all of those who managed to obtain the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruits were reincarnated Celestial Emperors. In fact, they were much stronger than that reincarnated Celestial Emperor whose plan was foiled by Duan Ling Tian!”

“Hmmm, I’m rather intrigued by Duan Ling Tian now. I hope I’ll be able to meet him…”

…

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware that 9 out of 10 people who were ranked in the top 10 in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm were talking about him.

At this moment, he and Huan’er had already entered the grade-two secret realm with the others who were ranked 11th to the 30th place.

They had been transported into a huge hall with no exit.

‘It seems like it’ll take a while before we can explore the grade-two secret realm.’ Duan Ling Tian had heard from the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion that it would take an hour after they were transported to the secret realm before they would be able to move around freely.

At this moment, the atmosphere was rather tense in the huge hall. Apart from Duan Ling Tian, Huan’er, and a few people who grouped together, most people stood alone. They looked at each other warily and with suspicion. Some of them would look at Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er occasionally, clearly curious about the duo who had recently become famous in the upper realm. After all, there were not many who could enter the top 20 the first time they entered the upper realm.

At this moment, a middle-aged man, who was standing near Duan Ling Tian, asked another middle-aged man, “This is my first time entering the grade-two secret realm; I’ve only entered the grade-three secret realm previously. Brother, do you know anything about the grade-two secret realm?”

However, the latter only looked at the former before turning away.

Duan Ling Tian shook his head slightly when he saw this. It seemed like no one was willing to lend a hand to anyone because they all viewed each other as compet.i.tors.

After an hour had pa.s.sed…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions rang in the air as four exits appeared in the four directions of the huge hall.

Most people flew in different directions at top speed and vanished in just a blink of an eye.

However, Duan Ling Tian discovered the few people who had yet to leave staring at him and Huan’er intently.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

In just an instant, nine people moved and surrounded Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er.

“What are you doing?” Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. He was not familiar with any of them, but their expressions were clearly hostile when they looked at him and Huan’er.

Among the nine people, there was one woman. She was dressed in tight red clothing. She looked at Huan’er with a frosty expression as she replied to Duan Ling Tian nonchalantly, “You may leave, but this woman must stay.”

Upon hearing the red-clad woman’s words, Huan’er furrowed her brows, slightly perplexed. She did not understand why the red-clad woman was so hostile when this was their first meeting.

“Why?” Duan Ling Tian asked solemnly. His gaze turned cold as well. He would not care if these people targeted him, but he found it unforgivable that they targeted Huan’er.

A middle-aged man glanced at the red-clad woman before he asked Duan Ling Tian with a smile, “Brat, you don’t know her?”

Before Duan Ling Tian could reply, an old man said with a grin, “She’s Jun Qiu He, a core disciple of the Wind Thunder Dao Sect… The woman next to you killed Jun w.a.n.g Chen, who was her biological brother!”

“So that’s the reason…” Upon hearing these words, Duan Ling Tian finally realized these people were here for revenge.

“You must be quite wealthy to be able to hire so many people to help you. It must have cost a lot to hire so many people, right?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at Jun Qiu He in surprise.

It would not be surprising if Jun Qiu He had one or two friends who decided to help her to seek revenge. However, it was unlikely that eight people who ranked in the top 30 would conveniently band together just to help her seek revenge. She must have promised them some sort of reward in exchange for their help.

“No price is too high as long as I can avenge my brother,” Jun Qiu He replied with a sneer. However, from the beginning until now, her eyes were only trained on Huan’er as though she could not wait to kill Huan’er.

Duan Ling Tian’s narrowed eyes flashed coldly as he replied tonelessly, “Your brother deserves to die… Leave now before it’s too late. Otherwise, don’t blame us for not showing mercy.”

Jun He Qiu sneered with a contemptuous expression on her face before she charged toward Huan’er at lightning speed. Purple lightning bolts flashed around her body as she moved. Based on this, it was obvious she had comprehended the law of thunder.

Swoos.h.!.+

At this moment, a long red whip appeared in Jun Qiu He’s hand. Lightning bolts flashed around the whip like snakes as she whipped it in the air.

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

Following that, the other eight people attacked as well. Since Jun Qiu He promised to reward them, it was only natural that they helped her.

“Huan’er, there’s no need for you to show mercy,” Duan Ling Tian said to Huan’er as his eyes shone with killing intent. At the same time, his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted with the s.p.a.ce Elemental Profundity surged from his body.

“Yes, Brother Ling Tian.” Huan’er’s gaze turned frosty as well when she sensed Duan Ling Tian’s killing intent.

In the next moment, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er vanished at the same time before they reappeared outside of the nine people’s encirclement.

“Four of you go and kill that brat… The rest of you help me kill this b**ch!” Jun Qiu He ordered as she continued moving toward Huan’er with her whip in hand.

With this, four men moved toward Duan Ling Tian while the others charged toward Huan’er.

“Since all of you have a death wish, I’ll fulfill your wishes!” Duan Ling Tian looked at the four men coldly as he cast the law of s.p.a.ce’s Restraining Profundity with his Celestial Origin Energy.

In just a blink of an eye, the four men were trapped in a cage burning with golden flames.
