Chapter 3762 Ambushed From Every Direction

Although the private room in the Spring View House, the Second Emperor room, was expensive, the service provided was exceptional. Needless to say, for such an expensive room, one could not just walk into the room. One would have to state the name that the room was reserved under and ones name first. After receiving the confirmation from the person who had reserved the room, the waiter would then lead one to the room.

The waited confirmed Duan Ling Tians surname with the occupant of the Second Emperor private room through a Communication Talisman before he flashed a smile and said to Duan Ling Tian, Young Master Duan, Young Master Hou is waiting for you in the Second Emperor private room.

Alright. Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly as he followed the waiter to the top floor.

When they arrived at the door of the Second Emperor private room, Duan Ling Tian heard Linghu Huan say through Voice Transmission, Theres only one person in the room. Those who had hidden in the dark have yet to reveal themselves so we cant use our Divine Consciousness to avoid being discovered. Well make a move if we sense the aura of a Lord of G.o.ds. Remember to stall for as much time as you just in case we cant make a move immediately.

Linghu Huans voice turned extremely grave as he continued to speak.

Young Master Duan, please enter, the waiter said.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian entered the room, he saw Hou Qing Ning. He could not help but smile and asked, Its just you alone? I thought the others from the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect would be here as well.

I was worried about hurting your pocket so I came alone, Hou Qing Ning replied with a smile.

Have you ordered? Duan Ling Tian asked after he took his seat.

Of course, not. How could I not wait for you?

Waiter, can you please take our orders?

Following that, the waiter who had been waiting outside the room quickly entered the room. Then, he began to list the restaurants specialties to Duan Ling Tian and Hou Qing Ning.

Is there anything you want to try? Hou Qing Ning asked.

Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said, No. For people like us, eating isnt important, and we eat just for the taste. Why dont we order the signature dishes?

Alright. Hou Qing Ning nodded before he placed the orders.

After the waiter left and closed the door, Hou Qing Ning sighed emotionally as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, Duan Ling Tian, I didnt expect you to achieve so much in just a few years. Not only did you become a King of G.o.ds, but youve also become a divine alchemist.

Hou Qing Ning looked at Duan Ling Tian with a complex gaze and sighed again. At this time, his conversation with Duan Ling Tian was being transmitted to the black-clad man.

Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile, So whats going on? Is everything okay in the Hidden Fog Academy? Its the same as always. Its boring, Hou Qing Ning said as he shook his head, If Id known it would be so boring, I wouldve gone straight to the Hidden Fog Sect.

Hou Qing Ning was the Young Master of the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect. Although it was just a king-rank sect, it still had some connections to the Hidden Fog Sect. Hence, he could have joined the Hidden Fog Sect if he wanted to do so. Moreover, his talent and innate ability were quite good as well. It would not be a problem for him to become an inner disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect.

However, now that youve left the Hidden Fog Sect, Im not very keen about joining the Hidden Fog Sect, Hou Qing Ning said with a sigh.

Why dont you join the Linghu clan? Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile.

Ill pa.s.s, Hou Qing Ning said as he shook his head, Knowing you, you wont stay in the Linghu clan for long either. Your next target should be the Flying Dragon Sect, right?

You know about this? Duan Ling Tian asked, slightly surprised.

Its not hard to guess, Hou Qing Ning smiled and said, With your innate talent, comprehension skills, and achievements in alchemy, even the Flying Dragon Sect wont be able to keep you for long. I didnt expect to make such an outstanding friend like you.

At this time, a hint of worry could be seen in Hou Qing Nings eyes. He had tried to warn Duan Ling Tian as best as he could previously, but he did not know if Duan Ling Tian understood his meaning and if Duan Ling Tian made any preparations. At this moment, he was like the black-clad mans puppet. His conversation and everything he was seeing were transmitted to the black-clad man.

The black-clad man was very cautious and did not want to act in the restaurant. Hou Qing Ning did not dare to recklessly send Duan Ling Tian a Voice Transmission in fear of being found out. The black-clad man had threatened to destroy the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect if he tried to warn Duan Ling Tian. He was afraid to send Duan Ling Tian a Voice Transmission because he was worried that Duan Ling Tian might not be able to control his expression. Duan Ling Tian, if you didnt understand my warning, I can only apologize. That was all I could do to help you. After all, I have to consider the thousands of lives in the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect Hou Qing Ning sighed inwardly, but his expression remained the same.

Hou Qing Nings warning was very vague, hence, he was able to avoid detection by the black-clad man. Although it was vague, he was certain Duan Ling Tian would be able to sense something was amiss unless Duan Ling Tian had completely forgotten their conversation back then. Since the black-clad man could not monitor Duan Ling Tian at that time, even if Duan Ling Tian had been confused by his warning, the black-clad man would be none the wiser.

However, based on Duan Ling Tians att.i.tude, Hou Qing Ning thought it was likely that Duan Ling Tian understood his warning and had made preparations. Naturally, there was still the possibility that Duan Ling Tian was completely unaware of the danger he was in. Regardless, there was nothing he could do but pin his hopes on Duan Ling Tian at this moment.

Duan Ling Tian and Hou Qing Ning continued chatting as the waiter served the dishes. After that, the duo ate as though nothing was wrong, and they were just two friends having a meal together. The meal was rather expensive, costing more than ten taels of divine rocks.

After the duo finished eating, Hou Qing Ning said, Lets go. Duan Ling Tian, I came this time to buy a courtyard in Linghu City. Why dont you accompany me to have a look around?

Is it your private courtyard or the Ten Thousand Leaves Sects courtyard? Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile.

Hou Qing Ning coughed and said with an awkward expression, The Ten Thousand Leaves Sect. What do you think?

Hou Qing Ning naturally wished Duan Ling Tian would refuse him. After all, the black-clad man had laid an inescapable trap in the courtyard. Even if Duan Ling Tian had a Lord of G.o.d powerhouse from the Linghu clan with him, he or she might not be able to save Duan Ling Tian in time.

How about next time? Duan Ling Tian said as he shook his head, I have to return to the Linghu clan to refine a few pills for an elder of the clan. Its quite urgent. Alright. Next time then, Hou Qing Ning said with a nod, looking somewhat disappointed.

Then, lets part ways here. Ill visit you at the Hidden Fog Academy when I have the time.

Alright. Hou Qing Ning smiled faintly and nodded.

With that, the duo parted ways, leaving in opposite directions. However, the duo had barely taken a dozen steps when suddenly

Boom!

A sinister black figure appeared in Duan Ling Tians path. As soon as the black figure landed, the ground under his feet shattered. Cracks like spider webs spread from under his feet, and the ground caved in slightly.

The figure was dressed head to toe in black. His face was hidden by a hood, and his body was hidden by a long loose robe.

Upon seeing the black figure, the pa.s.sersby hurriedly retreated and avoided him. In just a blink of an eye, only Duan Ling Tian was left in the vicinity.

Duan Ling Tians expression changed as he asked, looking somewhat worried, Who are

you?

Your death! the black-clad man said hoa.r.s.ely before his Divine Energy surged out like raging waves. Like a ferocious beast, his Divine Energy swept toward Duan Ling Tian.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion rang out at this time. It was the sound of something smas.h.i.+ng down from the sky onto the black-clad mans Divine Energy that was about to land on Duan Ling Tian. Following that, two figures appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian, s.h.i.+elding him.

Linghu Heng? Linghu Huan? Why are these old geezers here? The black-clad man thought to himself, surprised. Then, before the crowd could react, he suddenly made a move to escape. Following that, seven different energies shot out from different directions, blocking his escape routes.

It was an ambush from all directions, and it was perfect.

Then, Linghu Zheng Xing and the others appeared as well.

Linghu Zheng Xing?! the black-clad man exclaimed. He clearly knew Linghu Zheng Xing. His body trembled slightly as soon as he saw Linghu Zheng Xing. Then, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Hou Qing Ning, who had moved next to Duan Ling Tian at some point. His eyes that were hidden by the hood flashed coldly as he said, You dare to warn Duan Ling Tian?! Arent you afraid that just one of my talismans can destroy the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect? I believe in Duan Ling Tian, Hou Qing Ning said icily. In fact, he knew that Linghu Ren Jie was good friends with Murong Yun Liu, the Clan Leader of the Murong clan. They were like brothers. Most importantly, the Murong clan was located not far from the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect. This was also the biggest reason he had taken the risk and warned Duan Ling Tian. Otherwise, he would not have dared to risk the lives of the members of the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect even if he really wanted to warn Duan Ling Tian. After all, it was the lives of thousands of people versus one person. Moreover, it was the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect that he had grown up in.
