Chapter 3385: Returning to the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven

Xue Hong Yu, the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven, glanced at the two t.i.tled Celestial Emperors standing behind him meaningfully.

The two t.i.tled Celestial Emperors from the Heavenly Palace of the Boundless Heaven were briefly taken aback since they a.s.sumed Xue Hong Yu would personally kill the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor and the Misty Wave Celestial Emperor. Nevertheless, as soon as they regained their senses, they wasted no time in killing the two t.i.tled Celestial Emperor from the Heavenly Pool Palace. After all, it made no difference who killed them as long as they died. The two of them were much stronger than the two t.i.tled Celestial Emperors from the Heavenly Palace, therefore, it was an easy task for them.

Meanwhile, You Feng Yu was in shock; his face paled as he watched his subordinates being killed. Nevertheless, he could only remain silent after receiving a stern warning from his grandfather.

Xue Hong Yu had explained through Voice Transmission. “Do you know what it means to be Feng Qing Yang’s true disciple? Feng Qing Yang has never officially accepted a disciple before, let alone a true disciple. He only has a few nominal disciples. If you continue to push things, it’d be impossible for me to protect you if Feng Qing Yang intervenes…”

“Junior Nephew Duan, are you satisfied with this?” Xua Hong Yu asked. A hint of fear could be seen in his eyes as well. Even if Elder Huo had killed all the t.i.tled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Palace, his grandson not included, he would still maintain a smile on his face. With Duan Ling Tian’s current ident.i.ty, so what if Duan Ling Tian released Pei Yuan Ji from the Thousand Chains Prison? Moreover, he did not have any enmity with Pei Yuan Ji; he had only captured Pei Yuan Ji for his grandson’s sake.

“Thank you, Heavenly Emperor Xue.” Apart from Xu Lang, the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor, the Cold Gloom Celestial Emperor, and the Cloud Zither Celestial Emperor, Duan Ling Tian wanted all of the t.i.tled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace, including You Feng Yu to die. However, he knew it was impossible to kill You Feng Yu now unless his master, Feng Qing Yang, was present. No matter what, You Feng Yu was Xue Hong Yu’s grandson; Xue Hong Yu would not harm his grandson unless he did not have a choice.

“Junior Nephew Duan, I’d like to invite you over to my palace,” Xue Hong Yu said amicably as he looked at Duan Ling Tian like a gentle elder looking at his junior.

“Heavenly Emperor Xue, I’ll visit you another time. I’m busy with some matters…” Duan Ling Tian politely refused Xue Hong Yu.

“Alright.” Xue Hong Yu nodded. “When you’re free, do visit the Heavenly Palace of the Boundless Heaven. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first…” After bidding farewell to Duan Ling Tian and Elder Huo, Xue Hong Yu left along with his two t.i.tled Celestial Emperors.

You Feng Yu followed his grandfather and flew away as well.

Initially, Xue Hong Yu wanted to ask his grandson to apologize to Duan Ling Tian. However, when he saw the discontentment flas.h.i.+ng in his son’s eyes, he thought better of it. He knew his grandson’s temper well, after all. If he pushed his grandson, his grandson would act recklessly and create even more problems.

After Xue Hong Yu left, the Cold Gloom Celestial Emperor and Cloud Zither Celestial Emperor exchanged a glance before they bowed to Duan Ling Tian.

“Duan Ling Tian, thank you for sparing our lives.”

The duo knew they were only spared because Duan Ling Tian had no intention of killing them.

“There’s no enmity between us; you’re just following orders. There’s no reason for me to kill you,” Duan Ling Tian said with a shrug.

At this moment, Hong Fei dashed forward and playfully punched Duan Ling Tian’s chest. He did not watch his words even after discovering Duan Ling Tian was Feng Qing Yang’s true disciple. He scolded, “Little Junior Brother, you should’ve told us about this earlier! Do you know I was prepared to die with you? I could’ve died from a heart attack!”

Hu Mei asked, clearly dissatisfied, “Little Junior Brother, how could you hide the truth from us for so long?”

Duan Ling Tian’s other seniors remained silent, but they looked at him with complex gazes.

“Teacher,” Duan Ling Tian looked at Xu Lang and said with a smile, “After what happened today, it’ll be inconvenient for you to stay at the Heavenly Pool Palace… Why don’t you come to the Heavenly Palace of Solitary Destructive Heaven with me?”

Duan Ling Tian had previously asked Elder Huo if he could bring Xu Lang and his disciples to the Heavenly Palace of Solitary Destructive Heaven, including their family and friends as well. After all, he could not just leave them all alone in the Heavenly Pool Palace.

Elder Huo had said it would not be a problem. After all, there were many subordinates with a larger number of families who brought their families to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Therefore, if Xu Lang and the others were willing, it would not be a problem at all.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Hong Fei and the others looked at Xu Lang eagerly. It went without saying that the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven was leagues above the Heavenly Pool Palace. It was undoubtedly the better choice to be under Feng Qing Yang. Even Xue Hong Yu was afraid of Feng Qing Yang!

Xu Lang shook his head. “That’s not necessary. I’ve stayed in the Heavenly Pool Palace for so long; I’m too lazy to start over in a new place. The Palace Master won’t mistreat me even if he’s displeased with me because of you. Moreover, now that you’re the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, it’s even less likely that he’ll mistreat me. Apart from that, now that the Heavenly Pool Palace has lost several t.i.tled Celestial Emperors, he’ll want me to stay more than anything. Since this matter has been resolved, there’s nothing he can do even if he’s reconciled.” Then, he turned to look at his disciples who looked at him with eyes filled with yearning, “If any of you are interested in joining the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, you have my blessing to leave; I’ll respect your decision. After all, the Heavenly Pool Palace isn’t a match for the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven in all aspects.”

“Teacher, I’ll follow you wherever you go… Since you’ve decided to stay at the Heavenly Pool Palace, I’ll stay as well,” Hong Fei said with a laugh.

Xu Lang’s other disciples shared the same thoughts as well.

Since Xu Lang was determined to stay in the Heavenly Pool Palace, Duan Ling Tian did not force the matter. He only said, “In that case, I’ll visit all of you often in the future!”

“Old Seventh, it’s the thoughts that count.” Xu Lang felt complicated when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. Not only did his daughter have a fortuitous encounter, but his seventh student had such a fortuitous encounter as well. Although currently Feng Qing Yang was slightly weaker than his daughter’s master, Feng Qing Yang’s potential was definitely greater. It was only a matter of time before Feng Qing Yan surpa.s.sed his daughter’s master.

“Teacher, Eldest Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Sister, Fifth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother, I’ll be taking my leave now,” Duan Ling Tian said before he left with Elder Huo.

After Duan Ling Tian left, Xu Lang and his disciples slowly returned to their senses. Apart from Xu Ya Si, all of them felt as though they were dreaming. Their Little Junior Brother was the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven sounded too good to be true.

Meanwhile, before the Cold Gloom Celestial Emperor and the Cloud Zither Celestial Emperor left, they said, “Xu Lang, if the Palace Master looks for trouble with you, we’ll help you even if it means having to leave the Heavenly Pool Palace…” It was clear the duo felt indebted to Duan Ling Tian for sparing their lives.

…

After leaving the Boundless Heaven, Duan Ling Tian returned to the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven. He was not hopeful as he sent out the messages. After all, 99% of the population in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven were Celestial Beasts. It would be almost impossible for his family and friends to be here.

“Little Gold, it’s about time for you to return to the Blood Moon Ridge… Do you want to return?” Duan Ling Tian asked Little Gold who was inside his Little World.

“Brother Ling Tian, are you abandoning me?” Little Gold asked pitifully.

“Nonsense… I’ll never abandon you.”

Little Gold laughed upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s reply. “Since you have no intention of abandoning me, I’ll continue to stay in your Little World and cultivate. The cultivation environment here is far superior to that in Blood Moon Ridge. I’ll return after becoming a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor. At that time, I won’t have to fear the enemies of the Blood Moon Ridge, and I can teach them a lesson.”
