Chapter 2513 Three Greatest Powerhouses of Tang Sect Are Gathered
Although Tang Zhong Yi was a Supreme Elder of Tang Sect and the strongest among the three Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, if the two Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials were of the same opinion, he would not be able to veto their decision. The rules in Tang Sect had always been to follow the majority’s vote when it came to decision-making for the high-ranking officials. If he was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, he could have refused to let Tang Xiao Xiao marry into the Heavenly Wave Mansion since the other two would not be able to do anything. It was unfortunate that he was not a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial and could not help Tang Xiao Xiao get out of the marriage alliance.
Tang Zhong Yi had devoted most of his life to Tang Sect. This was the first time he had a personal stake in the sect’s matter and planned to act selfishly by sending Tang Xiao Xiao away. Who would have thought the Sect Leader of Tang Sect would arrive at this moment?
‘Why did he come so quickly?’ Tang Zhong Yi was baffled. He looked at Tang Xiao Xiao with a hint of distress. If the sect leader was not aware that she had returned, he could secretly send her away. However, now that sect leader was aware of her return, it would be impossible for him to do so. If it was just the sect leader alone, he might be able to defeat him. The problem was there was also the other Supreme Elder of Tang Sect.
‘He must have come because I killed Tang Zhen Bao’s men.’ Tang Xiao Xiao frowned a little when she heard the sect leader’s voice, but her expression remained largely unchanged. At the same time, she turned to Tang Zhong Yi and said through Voice Transmission, “Ancestor, I remembered you saying that you have a collection of star charts that encompasses the stellar province of the galaxy where Planet Yan Huang is situated… Can you borrow me that star chart?”“Star chart?” Tang Zhong Yi was still feeling unresigned for not being able to send Tang Xiao Xiao away when he heard her words. He was taken aback for a moment. Finally, he replied through Voice Transmission, “What do you need the star chart for?”
“Ancestor, I’m very touched by your words earlier. However, since the sect leader has come, I’m afraid you won’t be able to quietly send me away. If I have the star chart of the stellar province of the galaxy where Planet Yan Huang is located, I might have a chance of leaving Tang Sect,” Tang Xiao Xiao said through Voice Transmission.
“You’re able to leave Tang Sect if you have the star chart?” Tang Zhong Yi was baffled by Tang Xiao Xiao’s words. After a while, he replied through Voice Transmission again, “How are you going to do that?”
“Ancestor, stop asking so many questions, you’ll see soon enough. Can you please borrow me the star chart before the sect leader arrives?” Tang Xiao Xiao said urgently.
Although Tang Zhong Yi had many questions on his mind, he knew time was of the essence, and he could hear the urgency in Tang Xiao Xiao’s voice so he no longer questioned her. He quickly gave her the star chart. Only after he handed over the star chart did he ask, “Are you still trying to be mysterious? Tell me about your plans quickly!”
Whoosh!
Just as Tang Xiao Xiao was about to reply, a gust of wind blew in the front yard before a figure appeared in front of the stone table.The figure belonged to a middle-aged man who was dressed in a silver robe with golden trim. He had a medium build, a square face, and spiky hair. His aura was imposing, it was clear that he had long gotten used to being in a position of power.
‘This must be Tang Chong, the Sect Leader of Tang Sect.’ Before Duan Ling Tian arrived in Tang Sect’s inner court, Tang Xiao Xiao had told him the sect leader’s name. He also learned that Tang Chong was one of the three Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials in Tang Sect.
As soon as Tang Chong appeared, his eyes did not leave Tang Xiao Xiao.
“Lord Sect Leader.” Tang Xiao Xiao rose to her feet immediately before bowing respectfully. “I did manage to obtain a Celestial Supreme Treasure.”
“Congratulations,” Tang Chong said before turning to look at Tang Zhong Yi who was standing at the side. “Elder Yi, your descendant is truly outstanding. Not only is she a genius, but even her luck is good.”
“You are being too kind with your words, sect leader,” Tang Zhong Yi said modestly.
At this moment, Tang Chong’s eyes found Duan Ling Tian who was still seated at the stone table. His eyes instantly turned cold and piercing.
However, Duan Ling Tian remained unaffected. Not only was he indifferent to Tang Chong’s cutting gaze, but he even moved to pour himself a cup of tea, completely ignoring Tang Chong.
Tang Chong continued staring at Duan Ling Tian pointedly as he asked in a deep voice, “Xiao Xiao… I heard from the others that this person is your man?”
The moment Tang Zhong Yi heard Tang Chong’s words, his expression changed drastically. He quickly turned to look at Tang Xiao Xiao with an expression of shock and disbelief.
“Yes,” Tang Xiao Xiao said. She did not expect Tan Chong would bring this up, but she had no choice but to answer in the affirmative.
Upon hearing Tang Xiao Xiao’s admission, Tang Chong and Tang Zhong Yi’s expressions changed dramatically.
“Xiao Xiao, don’t forget that you’re engaged!” Tang Chong looked at Tang Xiao Xiao and said in a deep voice, “We’ve already discussed this with the Heavenly Wave Mansion and agreed that the engagement ceremony would be held as soon as you return from the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone! How can you recklessly bring another man here?” His voice turned deeper and deeper the longer he spoke.
“Sect leader,” Tang Xiao Xiao said softly, “I don’t want to marry Yang Yu Ting… My heart already belongs to someone else.” When she finished speaking, she turned to look at Duan Ling Tian.
An angry and deafening roar that seemed to come from all directions rang in the air as soon as Tang Xiao Xiao finished speaking.
“Sect leader, why are you wasting words with her? In my opinion, we should just kill the brat!” A tall and muscular old man appeared at this moment. He had a beard and messy white hair that looked like a lion’s mane. He glared at Duan Ling Tian with killing intent as soon as he appeared. He asked imperiously, “So you’re the one who broke my descendant’s arms and legs to humiliate him?”
‘Tang Hong?’ Since the old man had mentioned his descendant, it was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to guess that the old man was Tang Hong, the other Supreme Elder of Tang Sect and Tang Zhen Bao’s ancestor.
Similarly, Tang Xiao Xiao had revealed the name of the other Supreme Elder of Tang Sect to Duan Ling Tian earlier.
Duan Ling Tian continued to sip on his tea calmly as though he was truly engrossed in it. He seemed to completely disregard the presence of these Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials.
“Ancestor, that’s him! Please avenge me!” Another voice rang in the air as Tang Zhen Bao appeared. It seemed like he had recovered from the injuries that Duan Ling Tian had inflicted on him earlier. At this moment, he seemed quite energetic as he pointed at Duan Ling Tian angrily. He stared at Duan Ling Tian as though he wished he could tear Duan Ling Tian into a million pieces.
“It seems like you didn’t learn your lesson,” Duan Ling Tian said before turning to Tang Xiao Xiao, saying, “Xiao Xiao, I’ve already spared him once. I won’t do it again. Sorry.” As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hong and the others did not even have time to react before a sword appeared in his hands and flew out immediately.
Sword Wielding Art!
Duan Ling Tian had cast the technique so quickly that no one had time to react at all. However, before the sword pierced Tang Zhen Bao’s glabella, the sword suddenly came to a halt a mere foot away from Tang Zhen Bao’s forehead.
Swoosh!
A large palm that seemed as though it could over the sky appeared and grabbed Duan Ling Tian’s sword. It was none other than Tang Hong who had acted. His eyes lit up as soon as he discovered how extraordinary the sword was. “Celestial Supreme Treasure?”
“A Celestial Supreme Treasure?” Tang Hong’s words instantly caught Tang Chong and Tang Zhong Yi’s attention.
