Chapter 2544 - The Yun Family in the Divine Offering Land!

2544 The Yun Family in the Divine Offering Land!

When Duan Ling Tian saw Xia Jie was about to leave, he seemed to recall something important and quickly cried out, “Third Uncle! Is it true Heavenly Emperors will die once they enter the Asura Hell, one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms?” He had recalled Yun Ye’s earlier words. Because of him, Feng Qing Yang was forced to escape into the Asura Hell.

“Asura Hell? I’ve been there once. However, I only stayed on the outskirts due to the danger. In my opinion, only two to three of the 81 Heavenly Emperors are capable of coming out alive from that place,” Xia Jie said.

Upon hearing Xia Jie’s words, Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed immediately. It seemed like Yun Ye was not exaggerating about the dangers in the Asura Hell. Xia Jie had said that only two or three of the 81 Heavenly Emperors were capable of surviving the Asura Hell, and Yun Ye had said Feng Qing Yang’s strength was only ranked in the top twenty. This meant Feng Qing Yang was nowhere close to being in the top three.

“Senior Feng Qing Yang…” Duan Ling Tian felt his heart skip a beat. It felt as though the last thread of hope he had held onto had disappeared. A sense of self-loathing that lingered for a long time rose in his heart.

“I’m rushing back to the Divine Offering Land so there’s not much I can do to help you.” Xia Jie’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears, causing him to regain his senses.

Xia Jie continued to say, “It might be better if I bring you back to the Divine Offering Land. However, if my elder brother or the Yun family find out about it, you’ll certainly die. Therefore, I can’t take this risk.” Then, he handed two items to Duan Ling Tian before he continued to say, “This is all I can do to help you. When it’s time for you to ascend to a Devata Realm, remember not to leave the Celestial Ascension Pool in a hurry. Try to stay in the pool longer to purify your 99 Heavenly Veins. It’ll only benefit you. Brat, I hope to see you in the Divine Offering Land. I hope you won’t disappoint me and Xue’er!” After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Duan Ling Tian to reply before he disappeared in a flash.

Duan Ling Tian only regained his senses when the void crack had closed. He lowered his head and studied the two items that Xia Jie had given him. It was a sword and a dark green jade token that was shrouded with a mysterious light.

At this moment, Tang Xiao Xiao finally heaved a sigh of relief. Earlier, she felt as though she had accompanied Duan Ling Tian to the gates of hell when Yun Ye had appeared.

Duan Ling Tian suddenly shouted, “Ke’er, wait for me!” He stared into the endless void with his hands clenched. Hints of anguish could be heard in his voice.

When Tang Xiao Xiao recovered from the shock of Duan Ling Tian’s sudden shout, she asked, “Can you tell me about your wife?” She was, naturally, curious. After all, she had just learned that not only did Duan Ling Tian have a wife and a child, but it seemed like his wife was not someone ordinary.

After listening to Duan Ling Tian speak about his wife, Tang Xiao Xiao could not help but sigh. She said reassuringly, “Don’t worry! You’ll definitely reunite with your wife! Didn’t Senior Xia Jie say you have 1,000 years? You gain your current strength in less than 100 years, I’m sure you’ll have the strength to gain your father-in-law’s approval within 1,000 years.” However, Tang Xiao Xiao’s words were contrary to her thoughts. It was not that she did not have confidence in Duan Ling Tian, but she knew it was extremely difficult to gain the strength to obtain his father-in-law’s approval in 1,000 years. Although Duan Ling Tian possessed remarkable strength in less than 100 years, his strength was merely comparable to Golden Celestials in the Devata Realms. Although Xia Jie did not specify how strong Duan Ling Tian would have to be, she knew Duan Ling Tian had to be stronger than a Heavenly Emperor at least. After all, even a servant from the Yun family in the Divine Offering Land was stronger than most Heavenly Emperors! With his current strength, it was difficult for him to become stronger than Heavenly Emperors in just 1,000 years!

“Hmm,” Duan Ling Tian nodded even though he knew Tang Xiao Xiao was merely comforting him. Regardless, he had to go to the Divine Offering Land whether he was strong enough to gain his father-in-law’s approval or not since he would not allow his wife to marry another man!

…

A few days had passed since then. Tang Xiao Xiao accompanied Duan Ling Tian as he returned to earth to travel.

After a few decades away from earth, Duan Ling Tian discovered earth had truly changed beyond his imagination. He was still brooding over Yun Ye and Xia Jie’s arrival from the Divine Offering Land. Therefore, after spending a few days on earth, he decided to leave. He planned to return to the Saint Province Realm through the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone.

…

In Divine Offering Land.

After Yun Ye fled in disgrace when Xia Jie arrived, he instantly returned to the Yun family in the Divine Offering Land.

“Young Master,” Yun Ye greeted Yun Qing Yan as soon as he saw Yun Qing Yan.

Before Yun Ye could say anything else, Yun Qing Yan interjected, “Yun Ye, since you’ve returned, I assume Duan Ling Tian’s dead.” He nodded his head, clearly pleased, as he added, “You’ve done well.” He did not think it was possible for Yun Ye to fail the mission. Although Yun Ye was weak compared to him, Yun Ye’s strength was still comparable to the strongest Heavenly Emperors. With that kind of strength, how could Yun Ye fail to kill that brat from the mundane realm?

Yun Ye lowered his head as he bowed and hesitantly said, “Y-young master, I-I failed my mission.”

Silent fell on the place immediately. When Yun Ye raised his head, he saw Yun Qing Yan’s smile was frozen on his face. He was so afraid that he did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Finally, Yun Qing Yan asked in a calm and emotionless voice, “What happened?”

Despite Yun Qing Yang’s calm tone, Yun Ye became even more frightened. He knew his young master would be deceptively calm when he was truly infuriated. He did not dare to dally and quickly recounted what had happened. “Lord Xia Jie intervened! When I was about to kill Duan Ling Tian, Lord Xia Jie appeared just in time and saved Duan Ling Tian.” He lowered his head again like a child who had made mistakes as he said, “I’m sorry, young master.”

“Since Uncle Xia Jie appeared and protected that brat, you can’t be blamed for it,” Yun Qing Yan said. He narrowed his eyes as he added, “But why did he suddenly appear in the mundane realm to save that brat? Did he know I’d send someone to kill that brat?” He looked at Yun Ye as he said, “Only both of us know about this matter.” However, he did not doubt Yun Ye’s loyalty. Yun Ye had served in the Yun Family for many years, therefore, he had absolute trust in Yun Ye. Moreover, even if Yun Ye had intentions to betray him, Yun Ye would not betray him for a brat from the mundane realm. In the end, he concluded that it was just a coincidence.

Yun Ye looked at Yun Qing Yan as he asked tentatively, “Young master, is it possible that Miss Ning Que requested Lord Xia Jie to protect Duan Ling Tian?”

Upon hearing Yun Ye’s words, Yun Qing Yan narrowed his eyes that were glinting coldly. “Even if Xia Jie protected him, he’ll only be able to do so now. When the spatial tunnel reopens after 1,000 years, I’ll personally go to the Devata Realm and kill Duan Ling Tian!”
