Chapter 4004: Departure
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Be quick if you have anything to say. Youre interrupting my cultivation, Yang Qian Ye said. In the past, he hated Duan Ling Tian greatly and wished he could kill Duan Ling Tian because Duan Ling Tian was the cause of the deaths of his childhood friends, Du Po Jun and Du Qian Jun. However, a greater hatred had taken root in his heart, and he had a greater purpose now. He was determined to avenge his father and kill Long Qing Chong. Compared to Long Qing Chong, Duan Ling Tian was insignificant at this moment.
I just spoke to Sect Leader Long, Duan Ling Tian said bluntly.
Did you convey my message to him? Yang Qian Ye asked coldly.
Duan Ling Tian nodded.
Then, thats enough, Yang Qian Ye replied coldly, Since he has the guts to kill my father, he should be prepared for the consequences. He wont have to wait very long
Yang Qian Ye spoke with certainty, confident about his progress.
Duan Ling Tian ignored Yang Qian Yes frosty and murderous expression and said, Sect Leader Long asked me to convey something to you as well. He didnt kill your father. If he wanted to kill your father and hide his ident.i.ty at the same time, he wouldnt have used such moves that would point to him. Moreover, his comprehension of the law is much higher than what was shown in the recording. He said that if you dont believe him, you can go to the Flying Dragon Sect, and hell give you a demonstration to clear your doubts.
After a beat, Duan Ling Tian asked, That aside, do you not find the Floating Image Pearl that recorded your fathers death suspicious? How likely is it for your father to record the culprit with a Floating Image Pearl but was not detected by the culprit? If it was recorded by the culprit, why would the culprit leave such an important thing behind when he was clearly trying to hide his ident.i.ty? Think about it. After a pause, he added, In any case, he said if you insist on seeking revenge from him, hell be waiting for you.
After thinking about it for a moment, Duan Ling Tian said again, To be honest, your matter has nothing to do with me. However, Id just like to remind you that its best for you to find out the truth before you act. Even if you managed to kill Sect Leader Long, what if the true culprit isnt him? At that time, wouldnt the real culprit get away with it?
Duan Ling Tian did not wait for Yang Qian Yes reply and left the room after he finished speaking. He felt like he had said more than enough, and it was none of his business what Yang Qian Ye chose to do going forward.
Yang Qian Ye naturally did not bother to see Duan Ling Tian off. His expressions had changed after listening to Duan Ling Tians words. He was strangely calm at this moment. After his fathers death, he was rarely calm unless he was cultivating. The bitter memories he had been unwilling to recall slowly resurfaced in his mind at this moment. With Duan Ling Tians reminder, he began to recall everything that he had learned about his fathers death. After that, just as Duan Ling Tian had said, he found that his fathers death was indeed highly suspicious. There were too many things that did not add up.
If its not Long Qing Chong, then who is it?
Although Yang Qian Yes desperation to avenge his father did not change, he did not let his emotions get the better of him at this moment. He had been blinded by his grief and the thoughts of revenge previously, but with Duan Ling Tians reminder, he was finally able to think clearly.
Duan Ling Tian no longer thought about Yang Qian Ye. After all, the decision was in Yang Qian Yes hands. Moreover, he was rather confident that Yang Qian Ye would make the right decision. After all, Yang Qian Ye might be blinded by his grief and anger, but Yang Qian Ye was not stupid.
Over the next few days, Duan Ling Tian did not leave the inn at all. He continued to cultivate until the entourage from the Pure Yang Sect was ready to leave Snow Forest City to continue on their journey to the Profound Jade Mansion where the venue for the Seven Mansions Feast was located.
When everyone gathered, Ye Chen Feng said, We wont be stopping after this. For those who are partic.i.p.ating in the Seven Mansions Feast, use this time to cultivate. Youre going to be competing against prodigies from the other six Mansions. I dont expect all of you to rank in the top ten or even the top 30. Even if you rank in the top 100, youll still be greatly rewarded.
This time, there were 66 young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect partic.i.p.ating in the Seven Mansions Feast. This meant that there were roughly three disciples from each faction in the Pure Yang Sect. The young disciples were all Lords of G.o.ds under the age of 10,000 years old.
Ordinary emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion could only dream of having such a group of disciples. For example, the Flying Dragon Sect only had very few Lords of G.o.ds below the age of 10,000.
Even the prodigies from the Pure Yang Sect were mostly rudimentary Lords of G.o.ds. Most of them were only partic.i.p.ating in the Seven Mansions Feast and to show off the number of young prodigies in the Pure Yang Sect.
In the beginning, the Seven Mansions Feast was a platform for the various forces outstanding prodigies to compete for a place for their elders to enter the Secret Holy Realm. However, it also became a place for the younger generation to display their talent and potential. Needless to say, the talent and potential of the younger generation of a force would dictate the rise or fall of a force in the future. After all, even if a force had an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds, there was no guarantee the advanced Emperor of G.o.ds would live for a long time. A force would eventually decline if it did not continue to produce new advanced Emperors of G.o.ds.
At this moment, Zhen Ping Fan asked through Voice Transmission, Duan Ling Tian, is Ye Ying Cai really related to the Fu clan?
Coincidentally, Duan Ling Tian was looking at Ye Ying Cai, who was sitting cross-legged in a corner and staring blankly into s.p.a.ce at this time. Then, he replied, Yes. Ye Ying Cai just met his biological mother. He met his twin brother when we were on the street of Snow Forest City.
So he knows about the past? Zhen Ping Fan asked with a raised eyebrow.
Yes, he knows, Duan Ling Tian replied.
Junior Uncle Ye must have orchestrated the reunion, Zhen Ping Fan said, Ive been thinking over the past few days. After all, why would Junior Uncle Ye need me to suggest taking a break in Snow Forest City when he could do it himself? Moreover, I suspect he also made sure Ye Ying Cai met his twin brother
Duan Ling Tian agreed with Zhen Ping Fan completely, but he did not say anything since he felt that it was inappropriate for him to comment on the matter.
I have to admit Junior Uncle Ye is really smart. If the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice finds out that Ye Ying Cai is aware of what happened in the past, they wont be able to blame Junior Uncle Ye at all even if they suspect he has a hand in this, Zhen Ping Fan said. After a brief pause, he said, However, why did Junior Uncle Ye choose this moment to let Ye Ying Cai reunite with his family? Duan Ling Tian, do you have any idea?
Duan Ling Tian gave voice to his speculation. Perhaps, he hopes revenge will drive Ye Ying Cai to progress faster?
Zhen Ping Fan smiled bitterly. Isnt this pressure too much? The target of his revenge is the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice, after all. Moreover, Junior Uncle Ye and the Pure Yang Sect wont be able to intervene in the matter on his behalf. After all, when the tragedy happened, Ye Ying Cai was not a member of the Pure Yang Sect yet. Moreover, the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice had already made a big concession to Junior Uncle Ye and our sect back then by sparing Ye Ying Cais life.
Duan Ling Tian naturally had thought this as well. In the end, he replied with a smile, Elder Zhen, if youre really curious, why dont you ask Elder Ye about it?
Zhen Ping Fan rolled his eyes at Duan Ling Tian and said, Dont tell me youre not curious at all? Hmm, Im really quite curious. Im going to ask him about it.
Then, Zhen Ping Fan turned to look at Ye Chen Feng. After about a dozen breaths later, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian, who was staring at him.
Duan Ling Tian could not help but ask, What did Elder Ye say?
Zhen Ping Fan wore a strange expression on his face, but he replied honestly, According to Junior Uncle Ye, this is Ye Tongs idea. Junior Uncle Ye naturally agreed. Otherwise, Ye Ying Cai wouldnt have been able to reunite with his family. However, Junior Uncle Ye said that Ye Tong was inspired by someone you know
Who is it? Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.
Zhen Ping Fans eyes glinted as he replied, Yang Qian Ye from the Ping Sheng faction.
Duan Ling Tian was stunned. What does this have to do with Yang Qian Ye?
Junior Uncle Ye said that Ye Tong told him that Yang Qian Ye recently broke through and became an intermediate Lord of G.o.ds due to his fathers death! Zhen Ping Fan said with a sigh, I saw Yang Qian Ye previously, but I didnt pay attention to him. I didnt expect him to become an intermediate Lord of G.o.ds so quickly. In the Pure Yang Sect, both of you held the record for taking the shortest time to become intermediate Lords of G.o.ds. Not even Junior Uncle Ye and I were as fast as both of you. If it werent for you, Yang Qian Ye wouldve become the disciple who became an intermediate Lord of G.o.ds in the shortest time in the Pure Yang Sect.
Duan Ling Tian was surprised upon hearing Zhen Ping Fans words. It finally dawned on him why Yang Qian Ye seemed completely different from before. It also explained why Yang Qian Ye was so confident about killing Long Qing Chong to avenge his father in the future.
Zhen Ping Fan glanced at Ye Ying Cai, who was still staring blankly into s.p.a.ce, before he said, Yang Qian Yes comprehension of the law is quite profound as well. His strength should be comparable to that of Ye Ying Cai now.
