2275 Eradicate the Source of Trouble

“Brother Ling Tian, you’re already famous in our Wandering Saint Palace… Everyone knows your name!” Huang Qi Ling smiled. In fact, he was worried that Duan Ling Tian’s attitude toward him would change now that he had gotten so much stronger, especially since he might have broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. However, when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s smile, he knew that Duan Ling Tian was still the same Brother Ling Tian he had met a year ago.

“Oh?” Duan Ling Tian was rather surprised by what he heard. Based on Huang Qi Ling’s explanation, he finally found out that his actions today had caused an uproar in the Wandering Saint Palace!

Suddenly, Duan Si Ling walked out of a room toward Duan Ling Tian. She stared at Huang Qi Ling with her big curious eyes before she asked her father, “Daddy…who’s he?”

“He’s daddy’s friend, and you should call him uncle,” Duan Ling Tian answered fondly. When Duan Si Ling arrived in front of him, he carried her up and held her in his arms.

“Uncle,” Duan Si Ling called out sweetly to Huang Qi Ling as she looked at him.

Huang Qi Ling responded with a smile and felt warmth rising in his heart when he heard Duan Ling Tian referring to him as a friend.

“It’s my first time meeting you so I didn’t prepare any gifts. I’ve had this jade pendant for a few years now, if you don’t mind, I would like to give it to you.” Huang Qi Ling rummaged through his Spatial Ring and finally took out a round, aquamarine jade pendant that warmed the surroundings like a natural furnace.

When Huang Qi Ling was handing the jade pendant over, Duan Si Ling did not take it immediately. Instead, she looked at Duan Ling Tian as though asking for permission.

“Since it’s given by uncle, you can take it.” Duan Ling Tian stroked her little head and smiled affectionately.

“Thank you, uncle,” Duan Si Ling took the jade pendant and looked at it in wonder. “Wow! It’s so warm, and it feels comfortable…”

“It’s a surprise that Brother Ling Tian already has a daughter.” Huang Qi Ling sighed. He could not help but think of Huang Wen Jing, the pride of the Wandering Saint Palace. A year ago, after he returned, she used to come over and questioned him about Duan Ling Tian since she thought he and Duan Ling Tian had a close relationship. Through this, he discovered that she was interested in Duan Ling Tian.

Sister Wen Jing might be unaware that Brother Ling Tian already has a wife and daughter. Would she be heart-broken if she finds out about this? I’m sure she’s already heard the news about Brother Ling Tian coming to the Wandering Saint Palace,’ Huang Qi Ling thought to himself with a sigh. He knew Huang Wen Jing very well. She had always been haughty since she was young. Although there were many who tried to pursue her, she did not even spare them a glance. In fact, he was quite shocked when he initially discovered that she was interested in Duan Ling Tian. At that time, he had thought Huang Wen Jing, the most beautiful woman in the Human-Devil clan, was a great match for someone like Duan Ling Tian. However, now that he found out Duan Ling Tian had a wife and daughter, he did not think Huang Wen Jing stood a chance.

Although in this world where the strong ones were revered, and it was normal for someone powerful to have a few wives, he knew Huang Wen Jing’s temper well enough to know that she would never share a man with another woman.

Duan Ling Tian and Huang Qi Ling continued chatting idly…

Meanwhile, in a mansion of an elder in the Wandering Saint Palace…

Bang!

An old lady lifted her pale hand and shattered the stone table she was sitting in front of.

Her eyes were piercing and cold like a sharp blade that could cut through anything.

“Duan! Ling! Tian!” The old lady hissed, word by word. A hint of resentment, hatred, and helplessness could be heard in her voice.

Ji’er…your grandma is useless, I can’t avenge you for the time being!’ The old lady thought to herself, her eyes filled with hatred, ‘However, there’s no need to worry. I might not be able to kill him, but I can kill the people around him! I heard he has a wife and daughter. There’s no way he would be able to stay by their sides all the time. When I find the chance, I’ll kill his wife and daughter and bury them with you!’ Hate continued to fill her heart as she continued thinking to herself, ‘I want Duan Ling Tian to suffer all his life for killing you!’

Based on the old lady’s words, it was obvious she was Situ Yu Ji’s grandmother. Situ Yu Ji was one of three people Duan Ling Tian had killed a year ago. She was also an elder at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage from the Wandering Saint Palace!

Among the relatives of the three disciples from Wandering Saint Palace, Duan Ling Tian had already killed two of the relatives except for this elder, Lu Wei.

Lu Wei found out from the news that was spreading in the Wandering Saint Palace that Duan Ling Tian, her grandson’s murderer, had come to Wandering Saint Palace. When she heard that Duan Ling Tian had killed Lin Yuan whose strength was on par with hers, she temporarily put a halt to her plan to seek revenge from him. She knew she would die if she confronted him directly so she chose another way to seek revenge from him. She would wait for a chance to present itself so she could kill his wife and daughter. At that time, he would live his entire life in agony.

However, would she get that chance?

All of a sudden, a voice rang from outside, shocking Lu Wei.

“Brother Ling Tian, it’s here.”

Brother Ling Tian?

Could it be Duan Ling Tian?’ Lu Wei thought to herself as her eyes widened. Swoosh!

A piercing sound reverberated in the air and Lu Wei’s eyes widened in shock. She did not even have time to react. When she regained her senses, she saw a purple-clad young man. Although this was her first time meeting this young man, she recognized him immediately since she had seen his portrait before. This young man was the one who killed her grandson, Situ Yu Ji. He was her mortal enemy.

Duan Ling Tian!

Swoosh!

Wind whistled in the air again, heralding the arrival of another young man. It was Huang Qi Ling.

“Duan Ling Tian, why are you here? I didn’t look for trouble with you at all…,” Lu Wei asked as she looked at Duan Ling Tian. In her opinion, there was no reason for him to kill her since she did not look for trouble with him. However, when it came to certain matters, was a reason needed?

“I’m aware you didn’t look for trouble with me,” Duan Ling Tian replied calmly, “However, I have this habit. I can’t allow people who might threaten the safety of the people around me to live!” It was obvious he planned to eradicate the source of trouble. He did not hide his intention to kill Lu Wei to protect his family and friends.

“Huang Qi Ling, are you the one who led him here to kill me?” When Lu Wei heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, her eyes narrowed immediately. A bitter expression appeared on her face as she glared at Huang Qi Ling. “Have you forgotten you’re the son of a Vice Palace Master? Helping an outsider to deal with me is breaking the rules of our palace!”

“Elder Lu Wei, what are you talking about?” Huang Qi Ling furrowed his brow and feigned ignorance. He said, perplexed, “I’m just accompanying Brother Ling Tian to look around the palace… Who’s helping an outsider to deal with you? I don’t understand what you’re saying at all!”

“Don’t act stupid!” Lu Wei snapped coldly, “You know what you’re doing!” Naturally, Lu Wei was right.

Huang Qi Ling had persuaded Duan Ling Tian to come here.

Earlier…

“Brother Ling Tian, since everyone knows about your strength now, Elder Lu Wei, Situ Yu Ji’s grandmother, wouldn’t dare to seek revenge from you. However, she’s not simple-minded. She might not seek revenge from you directly, but she would find other ways to seek revenge from you. This was her go-to tactic in the past. When she was young, she was widely known by her nickname; the Black Widow. For this reason, I advise you to kill her now to avoid trouble before the Palace Master comes to you.”

These were Huang Qi Ling’s words to Duan Ling Tian before he led him here.

Duan Ling Tian had thanked Huang Qi Ling for his advice and followed him to Lu Wei’s place without any hesitation. After all, his wife and daughter were more important to him than his life. He would not let anyone who threatened their safety.

Whoosh!

Duan Ling Tian lifted his hand and a Thousand Inscriptions Sword appeared in his hand. He stared at Lu Wei emotionlessly.

“Sword Defending Art!”

Lu Wei was shocked and she tried to escape, but at the same time, the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword in Duan Ling Tian’s hand had flown out.

At the same time, a thunderous voice sounded in the distance. “Stop it!”
