Chapter 3380: You Must Have a Death Wish

“It’s unnecessary,” Elder Huo narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly before he said, “Although I’ve never met the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace Master before, I’ve met the Heavenly Emperor of Boundless once when our Lord Heavenly Emperor returned from the Asura Hell. The Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven and other Heavenly Emperors came to congratulate our Lord Heavenly Emperor after he returned and reclaimed his throne.” A hint of disdain could be seen in his eyes as he continued to say, “Those Heavenly Emperors who came to congratulate our Lord Heavenly Emperor are rather mediocre. The strong Heavenly Emperors didn’t show up and only sent their subordinates over to congratulate our Lord Heavenly Emperor. The weaker Heavenly Emperors would personally make an appearance since they want to curry favor with our Lord Heavenly Emperor. To think the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven had the audacity to try to harm you!”

Duan Ling Tian felt relieved after hearing Elder Huo’s words. With this, he could feel even more keenly how powerful Feng Qing Yang was for other Heavenly Emperors to personally come to the Solitary Destructive Heaven just to curry favor with him.

“If that’s the case, let’s go.”

…

Duan Ling Tian and Elder Huo were transported to a place in the Boundless Heaven Territory near the Heavenly Pool Palace.

As soon as he arrived, he sent messages through the Soul Pearls again.

“Duan Ling Tian?!”

When Duan Ling Tian arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Pool Palace’s estate, the patrolling elders and disciples recognized him immediately. After all, Duan Ling Tian had become famous after his performance in the Prodigy Arena,

Duan Ling Tian said politely, “I’m here to visit my teacher, Xu Lang, the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor.”

The group of patrolling elders and disciples looked at Duan Ling Tian fearfully since they had heard of what he had done. Not only did Duan Ling Tian release the prisoners in the Thousands Chains Prison, but he had also injured Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor. For this reason, they knew they were no match for Duan Ling Tian at all and would not be able to stop him from entering the estate.

Upon seeing the fear on the elders and disciples’ faces, he said, “Don’t worry. I mean no harm. I really came just to visit my teacher.”

Following that, he brought Elder Huo to Xu Lang’s cultivation ground.

After Duan Ling Tian left, the patrolling elders and disciples exchanged a look and saw the fear in each other’s eyes. After a while, they began to discuss fervently among themselves.

“Why is Duan Ling Tian back?”

“It’s said that Duan Ling Tian managed to escape that time because the Grand Elder of the dragon clan, the Fragmentary Element Emperor, Ji Yu Nian, intervened. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to escape…”

“Not only is our Palace Master furious, but I heard our Lord Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven is furious as well. Alas, there was nothing Lord Heavenly Emperor could do against Ji Yu Nian!”

“Shouldn’t he be avoiding this place like the plague? Not only does he have the audacity to return to the Boundless Heaven, but he even dares to come to the Heavenly Pool Palace. Does he have a death wish?”

“I don’t think so. He’s not a foolish person. I wonder who’s the old man who came with him? Could it be the Grand Elder of the dragon clan?”

“That’s ridiculous! Do you really think it’s possible for the dignified Grand Elder of the dragon clan to trail behind him like a subordinate?”

While they discussed among themselves, the leader of the group, an elder of the Heavenly Pool Palace, sent a message to You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace. Following that, he said, “I’ve already informed our Palace Master about this matter. What happens next has nothing to do with us. All of you, return to your duties…”

…

At this time, Duan Ling Tian finally arrived at Xu Lang’s cultivation ground.

“Teacher.”

A hint of excitement could be seen in Xu Lang’s eyes when he saw Duan Ling Tian. However, his expression suddenly turned solemn. “Duan Ling Tian, why did you return?”

Since Duan Ling Tian had released prisoners and the titled Celestial Emperors from the Thousands Chains Prison, he had offended not only the Heavenly Pool Palace, but the Heavenly Palace of the Boundless Heaven as well. How could Xu Lang be worried when Duan Ling Tian returned in less than 100 years? Was he not afraid of death?

“Teacher, I came to visit you and my seniors. I’ve sent them a message to invite them over. I’m really sorry about what happened previously,” Duan Ling Tian said apologetically.

“I don’t need your apologies! Hurry and leave right now! Otherwise, it’ll be too late when the Palace Master and the others arrive,” Xu Lang said impatiently. He was naturally delighted to see Duan Ling Tian, but he knew Duan Ling Tian was not safe here after offending the Heavenly Pool Palace previously. Until Duan Ling Tian was strong enough, it was best that he did not return.

As soon as Xu Lang’s voice fell…

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The sounds of wind howling rang in the air as six figures flew over from different directions.

“Eldest Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Sister, Fifth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother,” Duan Ling Tian quickly greeted his seniors.

Xu Ya Si, Duan Ling Tian’s Eldest Senior Sister, stood in the lead. His Third Senior Sister, Hu Mei, and his Sixth Senior Brother, Hong Fei, stood directly behind her. Both of them winked at Duan Ling Tian meaningfully. It was clear they did not blame him for what happened.

Lu Ji, Duan Ling Tian’s Second Senior Brother, was cold and aloof as always. However, the corners of his lips were curled up slightly into a faint smile as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and nodded slightly.

Meanwhile, Wen Wan’er and Ouyang Qi Fei, his Fourth Senior Sister and Fifth Senior Brother respectively, smiled at him.

Only Xu Ya Si looked at Duan Ling Tian with a hint of hostility. She sneered and said, “Oh, our Little Junior Brother finally returned?”

“I’m sorry, Eldest Senior Sister,” Duan Ling Tian apologized with a bitter smile on his face.

At that time, when Duan Ling Tian was trying to escape, he could tell Xu Ya Si was trying to help him escape despite her harsh words. He knew clearly she would get into trouble for helping him and naturally felt indebted to her.

“Have you forgotten what I’ve told you?” Xu Ya Si said in a grave tone as her eyes flashed icily, “Didn’t I say I’ll personally send you to the Thousand Chains Prison if I see you again? Did you take my words for nothing? I’ll give you three breaths to get out of my sight and leave the Heavenly Pool Palace. Otherwise, I’ll arrest you and send you to the Thousands Chains Prison at once.”

As soon as Xu Ya Si finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian’s seniors spoke up one after another.

“Little Junior Brother, quickly leave! It’ll be too late once the Palace Master arrives!”

“Little Junior Brother, go! Don’t misunderstand Eldest Senior Sister; she’s just thinking about your safety!”

“Little Junior Brother, if you want to meet us, you could’ve just sent us a message. We would’ve met you outside of the Heavenly Pool Palace. You shouldn’t risk your life coming here!”

Duan Ling Tian was moved when he heard his seniors’ words.

Just when Duan Ling Tian was about to say he was not afraid of the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace, a thunderous voice rang in the air, distracting him.

“Duan Ling Tian!!”

“Lei Ying?” Duan Ling Tian recognized Lei Ying’s voice immediately.

Xu Ya Si stepped forward and said icily to Duan Ling Tian, “Scram!”

“Xu Ya Si, he won’t be able to leave today!” An indifferent voice rang in the air.

Not only did Lei Ying come, but even You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace, had come. Moreover, all of the titled Celestial Emperors from the Heavenly Pool Palace except for Yang Xiao Tian, the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor, were present.

After the Grand Elder of the dragon clan left, Yang Xiao Tian stayed in the Heavenly Pool Palace for a short time before he eventually left the Boundless Heaven and returned to the Jade Emperor Heaven with his direct disciple, Sun Xing.

Gu Chang Jiang, the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor, said viciously, “Duan Ling Tian, you must have a death wish for you to return here. Since you’ve returned, you should just stay here forever!”

Although the other titled Celestial Emperors remained silent, they looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he was a dead man walking. Previously, when the titled Celestial Emperors Duan Ling Tian released from the prison escape before their eyes, they had felt humiliated. There was nothing they could do since the Grand Elder of the dragon clan had intervened. However, since they dared not provoke the Grand Elder of the dragon clan, all their anger was directed at Duan Ling Tian. Now that he had returned to the Heavenly Pool Palace, how could they let go of this chance to vent their anger?

“It seems like everyone is here.” Duan Ling Tian smiled as he swept his gaze past You Feng Yu and the other titled Celestial Emperors.
