Chapter 3700: Long Xiao is Furious
Duan Ling Tian made his way north after leaving King Descend City. He settled down in a city that was about the same size as King Descending City in the end. He would wait it out here until it was time for him to go to the Divine Sanctuary with Wu Feng. He still had half a month to go before the day of
departure, He planned to leave the city ten days earlier since it would take him some time to return to the Hidden Fogg Sect.
After he checked into an inn, he finally received Tang Wu Yan’s message.
“Do you know Linghu Chu Yin?”Duan Ling Tian was puzzled by Tang Wu Yan’s abrupt message and simply replied, “No.”
After a moment, he realized that Tang Wu Yan must have heard about what had happened in King Descending City. Since Tang Wu Yan had heard about it, Long Xiao must have heard about it as well.
“You don’t know her, and yet, you like her?” Tang Wu Yan said with a hint of sadness.
Duan Ling Tian did not respond to her question. Instead, he only said, ‘Till talk to you another time. I’m about to enter closed-door cultivation.”
He deliberately avoided the question so Tang Wu Yan would misunderstand him. He wished she would stay away from him since he did not have the time nor energy to deal with matters of the heart.
Tang Wu Yan was naturally angered by Duan Ling Tian’s lack of response.
“Tm the most beautiful woman in Hidden Fog Sect. How dare you ignore me!”Tang Wu Yan felt resentful and unwilling. She had many pursuers who cherished her like a treasure, and yet, Duan Ling Tian treated her like weed.
Due to her pride, she no longer contacted Duan Ling Tian.
As Duan Ling Tian had expected, since Tang Wu Yan had heard of the matter at King Descending City, Long Xiao had already heard about it as well. Long Xiao had heard about it from Shangguan Xiong Feng who came to visit him.
“Long Xiao, it seems like Duan Ling Tian was only being perfunctory with you. He’s fled to King Descending City; that’s why you couldn’t find him,” Shangguan Xiong Feng said with a mocking smile, “It seems like he doesn’t take you and Elder Lei seriously at all.”
Long Xiao’s expression darkened. Previously, he had bragged to Shangguan Xiong Feng that Duan Ling Tian would definitely agree to his demands. He had confidently said that Duan Ling Tian would definitely kneel and kowtow to beg his master to accept him as a disciple. He had also been looking forward
to humiliating and killing Duan Ling Tian after his master refused Duan Ling Tian.
Who knew Duan Ling Tian would leave the Hidden Fog Sect? He could not find Duan Ling Tian, and no one knew where he went. Hence, he had been stewing in his anger for more than a month. Moreover, since Duan Ling Tian was not in the sect, he could not vent his anger at all.
After almost two months, Shangguan Xiong Feng told him Duan Ling Tian had gone to King Descending City. How could his anger not erupt?
“Tm going to King Descending City. I’m going to torture him to death once I find him!” Long Xiao said furiously when he saw the mocking smile on Shangguan Xiong Feng’s face.
Long Xiao did not even bid farewell to Shangguan Xiong Feng and left the Hidden Fog Sect for King Descending City immediately.
It only took him, a King of Gods, a day and a night to arrive at King Descending City since he traveled at top speed. He directly went to one of the properties owned by the Hidden Fog Sect to inquire about Duan Ling Tian’s whereabouts.
“Was Duan Ling Tian, the new core disciple, really here? Where’s he now?” Long Xiao asked without beating around the bush.
Since Duan Ling Tian did not go to any of the properties owned by the Hidden Fog Sect, Long Xiao’s efforts were all in vain. Nonetheless, he did not give up. He visited the king-rank forces in the city and asked for their help to search for Duan Ling Tian. Those who provided information about Duan Ling
Tian’s whereabouts would be greatly rewarded.
Long Xiao even went to the properties of the Linghu clan and the 10,000 Devils Sect to ask for help as well.
Since Long Xiao’s master was a Supreme Elder of the Hidden Fog Sect, all of them were very willing to help him. One could see how influential his master was when even lord-rank forces agreed to help him.
In just a matter of days, Long Xiao used nearly all of his connections in King Descending City to search for Duan Ling Tian. Alas, their search was futile since Duan Ling Tian had already left King Descending City. In fact, while Long Xiao was still waiting in King Descending City, Duan Ling Tian had already
left the city north of King Descending City to meet Wu Feng near the Hidden Fog Sect.
Before his departure, Duan Ling Tian sent a message to Wu Feng to confirm the time and location of their meeting. They agreed to meet at the peak of a mountain outside of the Hidden Fog Sect’s estate.
When Duan Ling Tian met up with Wu Feng, Wu Feng chuckled and said, “Junior Brother Duan, as soon as I emerged from closed-door cultivation, I heard a lot of rumors about you. I heard that you boldly blocked the Linghu clan’s carriage because you’ve fallen in love with the most beautiful woman in
Linghu clan! I heard you were rather relentless in your pursuit!”
Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly. “Senior Brother Wu Feng, you heard about it as well? It seems like that matter has already spread to the sect.”
Although Duan Ling Tian had expected this, he still felt rather embarrassed when Wu Feng brought up the topic. It would have been fine if he really intended to pursue Linghu Chu Yin. However, that was not the case at all. He only wanted to verify if Linghu Chu Yin was truly his wife, Ke’er. Based on what he
had seen and heard, he was rather certain she was Ke’er. Hence, he had not given up on approaching Linghu Chu Yin, How could he give up if he could not verify the truth? What if Linghu Chu Yin was Keer and had only lost her memories?
‘Wu Feng looked at Duan Ling Tian and said solemnly, “Although it’s normal for men to chase after beauties, you’ve gone overboard this time. Moreover, as the top prodigy of the Hidden Fog Sect and the first god to become a core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years, second only to Senior Xue Hai
Chuan, you can even marry the daughter of the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan, let alone Linghu Chu Yin.”
Duan Ling Tian sighed before he said, “Senior Brother Wu, let’s talk during our journey there. Things aren’t what you think they are..”
‘Wu Feng was naturally curious when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.
As the duo traveled, Duan Ling Tian explained what had happened. He did not think there was a need to conceal the truth. Hence, he openly told Wu Feng that Linghu Chu Yin resembled his wife whom he had been separated from for many years.
“My wife has no twin sister in the Realms of Gods. Tell me, how can two people look so alike? Not only that but their temperaments are really alike as well. However, she didn’t seem to recognize me when she saw me. Perhaps, she has lost her memories. Moreover, I heard she was only brought back to the
clan by the sister of the former clan leader. I was separated from my wife about 600 years ago.”
Duan Ling Tian naturally did not mention how Ke’er was forcefully brought to the Divine Offering Land and the other matters. It was enough to tell Wu Feng the reason behind his actions in King Descending City.
“So that’s what happened,” Wu Feng said as he nodded, “You didn’t even spare a glance at Junior Sister Wu Yan even though she’s a beauty; I was wondering why you would suddenly pursue another beauty. After all, both of their appearances should be on par with each other. As it turns out, you have your own
reason. Everyone, including me, has misunderstood you.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. His eyes were filled with determination as he said, ‘T!ll find a way to meet Linghu Chu Yin to confirm if she’s my wife or not. It’d be great if she is. If she’s not, I naturally won’t have anything to do with her anymore.”
‘Wu Feng chuckled and said, “I heard from Elder Tang Chun that Junior Sister Wu Yan has been depressed lately. This must be the reason why. Her mood will surely improve once she knows about this.”
Since Wu Feng had a close relationship with Tang Chun, he was naturally privy to such matters. Not only did Tang Chun tell him about this, but Tang Chun had also told him about how Tang Wu Yan had fallen in love with Duan Ling Tian.
“Senior Brother Wu Feng, there’s no need to tell Elder Tang Chun and Tang Wu Yan the truth,” Duan Ling Tian hastily said, afraid that Wu Feng would tell the duo the truth, ‘It’s impossible for me to be with Tang Wu Yan. Instead of giving her hope, it’s best to seize this opportunity so she’ll give up
completely.”
