Chapter 2171 Duan Ling Tian Returns

Ke’er took a deep breath and suppressed her excitement. She looked at Gan Ru Yan and asked urgently through Voice Transmission, “Sister, where is he now? How is he?”

“Zi’er said he was last seen in Sin City.” Gan Ru Yan told Ke’er everything the purple-clad girl had told her through Voice Transmission. “Three years ago, he entered…” She repeated the news that was currently spreading in the Dao Martial Saint Land.

However, Gan Ru Yan did not bother mentioning how Duan Ling Tian had killed Xie Kang Xun since she found the entire thing absurd.

“Those who survive a catastrophe are bound to have good fortune. Don’t worry too much.” Gan Ru Yan consoled Ke’er after she finished telling Ke’er what she had learned

“A trap left behind by three Eminent Devils? He’s the only survivor?” Ke’er’s face paled when she learned about what her man had gone through. Although she was not with him, she knew her man must have gone through a tough time. She felt her heart ached for the man whom she regarded as her life. “Young Master…”

At this moment, tears were brimming in her eyes.

A tall purple figure stood straight as he hovered in the air above the mountain near the Fire Worship Sect’s estate in the Western Region. It was a young man dressed in a purple robe. This young man was tall and handsome. He had dashing eyebrows and bright eyes, and he possessed a graceful bearing. He made everything in his surroundings dim in comparison to him.

“I can’t believe the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect has come out of his closed-door cultivation. He has even broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!” The young man muttered under his breath, “Fortunately, he didn’t sentence Ke’er and our daughter to death. However, I must find a way to get them out of the sect. I can just leave them there.”

This young man was none other than Duan Ling Tian who had just come from Sin City in the central region.

While Duan Ling Tian was traveling, he learned that the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect had come out of his closed-door cultivation. Not only that, but his cultivation base was at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. This made him the fourth powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage Ninth Form in the Dao Martial Saint Land.

Duan Ling Tian’s heart sank when he learned about this. His heart was filled with worries for Ke’er and their daughter. Thus, he hastened his speed to return to the Fire Worship Sect.

When Duan Ling Tian arrived, he asked around and learned that the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect had not decided on Ke’er and their daughter’s punishment yet. He instantly sighed in relief.

Then, Duan Ling Tian hid outside the Fire Worship Sect’s estate, biding his time until he found a chance to enter the Fire Worship Sect to save Ke’er and their daughter.

With my current strength, I’m no match for the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect even if I use the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword, and unleash all my strength. I must find a way to rescue

Ke’er and our daughter!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He knew his strength very well. If he unleashed all his strength and wielded the Jasper

Celestial Sword, he was confident he could kill a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage Eighth Form! However, he was no match for someone at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

“Don’t tell me I need to return to the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to cultivate for another year so I can break through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?” Duan Ling Tian continued to mutter to himself as a frown appeared on his face.

Duan Ling Tian had meant a year in the outside world. Who knew if the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect would punish Ke’er and their daughter during that one year? He did not dare to take this risk. If something happened to Ke’er and their daughter, he would never be able to forgive himself in his entire life!

Duan Ling Tian was still thinking of a way to rescue Ke’er and their daughter from the Fire Worship Sect when the Fire Worship Sect released a statement. This statement was released under the direct order of Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect.

The content of the announcement was as followed:

1, Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, would like to invite Duan Ling Tian, the prodigious disciple of Fire Worship Sect, to return to the sect. I promise that no one in the sect would snatch his Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, away from him! If Duan Ling Tian doesn’t feel at ease, he can hide his Devilseal Tablet outside before he returns. At that time, 1, Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, will swear on the lightning penalty oath to prove that my words are true!’

The moment the statement was released, not only did it confuse everyone in the Fire Worship Sect, but it shocked them as well.

“Lord Sect Leader didn’t even hesitate to release this statement. He’s going to let Duan Ling Tian return?

Unbelievable!”

“That’s why they say that Lord Sect Leader appreciates talent as much as he does his life. I finally witness that today!”

“Since Lord Sect Leader has released this statement, I’m sure Duan Ling Tian will return. When he returns, the True Ranking is going to change again. He’ll definitely rank first on the True Ranking!”

“Of course! Three years ago when Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian killed Elder Xie Zong from the Black Kshetra Sect, his strength was already on par with the person who’s ranked first on the True Ranking. After three years, I’m sure he has grown even stronger with his innate talent!”

“I’m really looking forward to Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian’s return! Ever since he left, our Fire Worship Sect is like a puddle of dead water. It’s no longer as lively as when he was here.”

The disciples of Fire Worship Sect began to discuss among themselves. Most of them were happy, and they hoped Duan Ling Tian would return to the Fire Worship Sect.

“Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian is allowed to return?”

“Junior Brother Duan Ling Tian can come back?”

When the Fire Worship Sect disciples who had good relationships with Duan Ling Tian, including Liu Yun and Liu Mu, heard the statement released by their Sect Leader, they were overwhelmed with excitement as well.

“Why would Lord Sect Leader release such a statement?!”

As the saying went, ‘There will be people who’re happy, and there’ll be people who’re not’.

When the direct disciple of Sanctum Leader Lu Tie of Azure Dragon Sanctum, Bu Hong, learned about this, his expression turned grim immediately.

Lu Tie, the Sanctum Leader of Azure Dragon Sanctum, had a similar expression as well. He could not wait to get his hands on the Super Saint Weapon in Duan Ling Tian’s possession. However, since the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect had made a promise to Duan Ling Tian, he did not dare to covet Duan Ling Tian’s Super Saint Weapon even if he was a hundred times more courageous.

Meanwhile, in the Enforcement Hall.

When Dong Lin, the elder from the Enforcement Hall, heard the statement released by the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect, his expression changed immediately.

“Damn it! How can Lord Sect Leader be so stupid?!”

Dong Lin’s father, Dong Yuan Jin, the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, narrowed his eyes when learned about this matter. “Duan Ling Tian!” Outside the Fire Worship Sect’s estate.

“The Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect is dreaming!” Duan Ling Tian scoffed when he heard the announcement made by the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect.

There was no problem with Tang Xuan’s promise. Instead, his promise seemed to protect Duan Ling Tian.

However, Duan Ling Tian knew Tang Xuan had only made this promise because he possessed the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet. Coincidentally, this Super Saint Weapon was capable of subduing the Devil Clans.

In the future, if the Devil Clans invaded Upper Province, the Fire Worship Sect would have the upper hand if they had the Devilseal Tablet.

At that time, Tang Xuan would probably ask to borrow the Devilseal Tablet from Duan Ling Tian at the critical moment. It would be difficult for Duan Ling Tian to decline his request at that time.

“To Tang Xuan, as long as he’s able to defeat the Devil Clans, the Devilseal Tablet won’t even be as valuable as a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon!”

Duan Ling Tian knew this very well.

When one was at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage like Tang Xuan, one would not need the Devilseal Tablet at all if one’s opponent was not a Devil.

As for Devil Cultivators in the Dao Martial Saint Land, Tang Xuan did not need the Devilseal Tablet to deal with them since he was extremely powerful.

If I have another Super Saint Weapon like the

Traceless Sword or the Nine Cloud Sword, I don’t think he would be so nice!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Duan Ling Tian had, indeed, guessed correctly. If he had another offensive Super Saint Weapon like the Traceless Sword or the Nine Cloud Sword, Tang Xuan would not have released such a statement at all since even he would covet the Traceless Sword and the Nine Cloud Sword.

“Since it’s like that, I’ll return to the Fire Worship Sect and meet the Sect Leader!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes gleamed as he made up his mind. He decided there was no need for him to hide the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, before he returned to the Fire Worship Sect. He did not think Tang Xuan would make a move against him since Tang Xuan could not be sure if he had the Devilseal Tablet in his possession.

Moreover, although Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was lower than Tang Xuan’s, since he had broken through to the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he was immune to all Soul Searching Secret Tactics. For this reason, he was not worried the Sect Leader would use such a tactic on him.

I’m back, Fire Worship Sect!’ Three days later, Duan Ling Tian flew across the sky and entered the Fire Worship Sect. He flew above the White Tiger Sanctum at the east of the Fire Worship Sect ostentatiously. It was completely different from how he had to sneak out from the Fire Worship Sect’s estate several years ago. All this was due to the difference in his strength from then and now.
