Chapter 2387 - The Successor of the Prophet Progeny Attacked Again

Chapter 2387 The Successor of the Prophet Progeny Attacked Again

“Gu Li, the successor of the Kratos Progeny, the Third Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, is dead!”

“Yue Wu Ying, the successor of the Dark Shadow Progeny, the Fourth Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, is dead as well!”

This news spread in the Dao Martial Saint Land, causing a huge commotion like an earthquake that could shake heaven and earth!

“Heavens! There are only eight people in the current generation of the Seven Absolutes Sect, but now two of them are dead?”

“Who did it? Isn’t he afraid of Duan Ling Tian seeking revenge from him?”

“Could he be someone from the three great sects?”

“That’s possible! Since there is a Bodiless Celestial in the Fire Worship Sect, I don’t believe the Black Kshetra Sect and the Heaven Divination Sect have none… Furthermore, even the dragon clan that’s slightly weaker than the three great sects has a Five and Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.”

“Well, if the three great sects have Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, they don’t have to fear Duan Ling Tian.

Similar discussions could be heard everywhere in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Naturally, none of these people were Bodiless Celestials. After all, those Bodiless Celestials were aware that the three great sects could not compare to the dragon clan and there were no Bodiless Celestials in the three great sects. They were also aware that Li Bing, the supposed Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Fire Worship Sect, was only able to secretly return to the Fire Worship Sect because the dragon clan had sent him out on a mission. How unfortunate that he was slain by the Duan Ling Tian, the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect.

“The culprit has to be from the dragon clan!”

“A month ago, when we heard about Duan Ling Tian forcing Di Chen, the Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the dragon clan, to kneel and kowtow, I already knew Duan Ling Tian and the Seven Absolutes Sect would meet with a disaster. The dragon clan placed great importance on dignity after all.”

“Me too. It seems like we’re right. The Seven Absolutes Sect has indeed met with a disaster!”

“Tsk tsk… The Seven Absolutes Sect is over now that the successors of the Third and Fourth Absolutes are dead. I’m afraid Duan Ling Tian must be boiling in anger now.”

“So what if he’s boiling with anger? There’s nothing he can do unless he has the strength to overpower the dragon clan.”

“It’s not easy to suppress the entire dragon clan! It’s said that the inner clan leader, the real Patriarch of the dragon clan, is still alive. I’m afraid there’s no one in the Upper Province who’s a match for him.”

The Bodiless Celestials could not help but discuss this among themselves. Naturally, they were more knowledgeable compared to most people in the Upper Province.

…

In the Heaven Divination Sect.

“The successors of the Third and Fourth Absolutes of the Seven Absolutes Sect are dead? Moreover, people are saying we’re the culprit?” Mo Xuan, the Great Oracle of Heaven Divination Sect, was baffled when he heard the rumors. It did not take long before fear and panic rose in his heart. “Would Duan Ling Tian believe that rumor?”

…

In the Black Kshetra Sect.

“There are rumors going around that our Black Kshetra Sect is stronger than the dragon clan and we have a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?” When Lang Qian Jing, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, heard the rumors circulating outside, he almost vomited blood from anger.

“How could I not know if my sect has a Bodiless Celestial? Moreover, I used to think our sect is stronger than the dragon clan, but that’s clearly not the case. They have more than one Bodiless Celestials in their clan! If they decide to deal with us, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do but to raise a white flag!”

After a while, panic rose in Lang Qian Jin’s heart as well. “W-would Duan Ling Tian be stupid enough to believe those rumors? Would he think our Black Kshetra Sect killed Gu Li and Yue Wu Ying?”

…

Mo Xuan, the Great Oracle of the Heaven Divination Sect, and Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, did not waste any time and quickly made an announcement to the entire Dao Martial Saint Land.

The Heaven Divination Sect announced that they would no longer provoke the members of the Seven Absolutes Sect. Whenever members of the sects met a member of the Seven Absolutes Sect, they had to avoid them!

The Black Kshetra Sect announced that they had decided to let go of the enmity between their sect and the Seven Absolutes Sect. Moreover, if the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect, Duan Ling Tian, was amenable to it, they would present a large amount of quasi Celestial-grade Saint Stone to the Seven Absolutes Sect as compensation!

…

When the people from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land heard the announcements, they were, naturally, shocked.

“Does this mean our previous theory is wrong? The Black Kshetra Sect and the Heaven Divination Sect actually have nothing to do with Gu Li and Yue Wu Ying’s deaths?”

“Then… Could it be someone from the Fire Worship Sect?”

“That’s impossible. Since Gan Ru Yan, the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect, has left, they haven’t even appointed a new sect leader. Moreover, they did not revoke the rules Gan Ru Yan made about not antagonizing the Seven Absolutes Sect.”

“Then, there’s only one possibility left… The dragon clan has something to do with Gu Li and Yue Wu Ying’s deaths! It’s very likely that it’s due to that incident a month ago where their clan’s Five Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, Di Chen, was humiliated by Duan Ling Tian.”

“That should be the case.”

Since the Black Kshetra Sect and the Heaven Divination Sect had made the announcements, the people from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land began to shift their focus to the dragon clan. After all, it seemed like the dragon clan had reasons for killing members of the Seven Absolutes Sect.

…

At the same time, many Bodiless Celestials were also discussing this matter.

“Those people aren’t stupid since they managed to figure out the culprit is the dragon clan.”

“Based on how cowardly the Black Kshetra Sect and the Heaven Divination Sect are acting, they would be real pig-heads if they still can’t guess the answer!”

…

In the eastern region where the 100,000 Towering Mountains were located.

In the inner clan of the dragon clan.

Di Chen had an anxious expression on his face as he asked, “Father, how did the matter turn so serious? With the way things are, I’m afraid Lord Patriarch must have already found out that the deaths of the two successors of the Third and Fourth Absolutes from the Seven Absolutes Sect are related to us! If he’s to intervene at this time, how are we going to kill Duan Ling Tian?” He was not worried the patriarch would give his father trouble over the deaths of the members from the Seven Absolutes Sect. After all, his father had a high status in the dragon as a Supreme Elder. He was only afraid that the patriarch would find out that they intended to kill Duan Ling Tian and would stop them before he could verify if Duan Ling Tian was a Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior!

If the patriarch really gave an order to stop them from killing Duan Ling Tian, they could no longer act recklessly. His father would incur the patriarch’s wrath if he blatantly disobeyed the patriarch’s order. At that time, there was no doubt the patriarch would kill his father as a show of power.

“I didn’t expect the two members of the Seven Absolutes Sect would be so stubborn. They’d rather die than disclose Duan Ling Tian’s whereabouts. Even the former successor of the Red Dust Progeny was the same!” Di Huan furrowed his brows as well when he spoke about this matter. It seemed like things had become trickier now. He somewhat regretted killing the members of the Seven Absolutes Sect now.

At that time, Di Huan had only wanted to discover Duan Ling Tian’s whereabouts. However, the two members of the Seven Absolutes Sect had enraged him with their disobedience. Therefore, he had killed them in a fit of rage. After all, Di Huan was a Seven Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. The two members of the Seven Absolutes Sect were like ants compared to him. Who knew the matter would blow up into this proportion where it might even catch the patriarch’s attention?

“Hmm?” All of a sudden, Di Huan seemed to have discovered something. He quickly took out a jade token. A faint streak of light flew from the distance and fused with the jade token in his hand. The jade token flickered for a few moments before the light gradually disappeared.

Di Huan quickly crushed the jade token in his hand.

A voice rang out in the air immediately.

“Supreme Elder, our outer clan leader has been killed by the successor of the Prophet Progeny using the Heaven Defying Art of Cursing. The outer clan has fallen into chaos now!”

When Di Chen and Di Huan heard this, they were stunned! They were furious when they regained their senses.

“How bold of the Seven Absolutes Sect!”

“How dare they kill our outer clan leader? Is the Seven Absolutes Sect not afraid of the retribution from our patriarch?”

The outer clan leader or the patriarch of the outer clan was merely the public face of the dragon clan. He was not even an Eminent Celestial, and usually, he would not even appear on their radar. When the outer clan leader met them, he even had to respectfully address them as ancestors. Nevertheless, the father and son were still enraged when they learned of his death. After all, he was the public face of the dragon clan even if his cultivation base was not very high. Killing the spokesperson of the dragon clan was like giving the dragon clan a slap in the face!
