War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens
chapter-3928

“I’m not alone. I came with two elders.”

Duan Ling Tian felt warm upon hearing the concern and worry in Linghu Ren Jie’s voice.

“Elders?” Linghu Ren Jie was surprised. “The elders from the Flying Dragon Sect?”

“No,” Duan Ling Tian replied, “They’re from the Pure Yang Sect.”

“I see, they’re from the Pure Yang Sect,” Linghu Renjie replied. After a moment, he replied again, clearly shocked, “Wait! The Pure Yang Sect?! One of the top five emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion?”

“Yes.”

“Are you planning to join the Pure Yang Sect?”

Linghu Ren Jie knew about Duan Ling Tian’s performance in the Flying Dragon Sect. He had been paying close attention to Duan Ling Tian. He had felt happy for Duan Ling Tian when he heard about Duan Ling Tian killing many members of the Tai Yi Sect, and he was worried when he heard that Kuang Tian Zheng had tried to kill Duan Ling Tian. He was even more worried and shocked when he heard that death warriors were hired to kill Duan Ling Tian. He could imagine the danger Duan Ling Tian was in at that time when faced with two intermediate Lords of Gods. Even after he knew Duan Ling Tian was safe, fear still lingered in his heart. Naturally, he also knew that the top emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion were trying to recruit Duan Ling Tian as well. He knew Duan Ling Tian would join one of those forces sooner or later. Since Duan Ling Tian was accompanied by two elders from the Pure Yang Sect today, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian had decided to leave the Flying Dragon Sect.

“I’ll come out and receive you.”

After sending that message, Linghu Ren Jie said loudly so that everyone could hear his words, “Elders, come with me to receive the elders from the Pure Yang Sect.”

‘Pure Yang Sect?!’

The elders from the Linghu clan were shocked when they heard Linghu Ren Jie’s words. Although he was no longer the clan leader, they still followed him when they heard they had visitors from the Pure Yang Sect. After all, they knew Linghu Ren Jie was not one to lie.

At the same time, a commotion broke out in the Linghu clan as well.

......

“Pure Yang Sect?”

“Is it really the Pure Yang Sect, one of the top five emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion?!”

“Of course! What other Pure Yang Sect is there in the Eastern Ridge Mansion?”

“Although the Flying Dragon Sect is also an emperor-rank sect, the difference between them is like heaven and earth. Why is someone from the Pure Yang Sect coming to our clan?”

…

After the group of people headed by Linghu Ren Jie flew out of the Linghu clan’s estate, it did not take long for them to arrive outside Linghu City. Not only were the ordinary elders present, but the supreme elders and ancestors like Linghu Zheng Xing, Linghu Heng, and Linghu Huan were present as well.

Linghu Zheng Xing asked Linghu Ren Jie, “Ren Jie, why would the elders from the Pure Yang Sect come here?”

“They’re accompanying Duan Ling Tian here,” Linghu Ren Jie said with a sigh, “Duan Ling Tian is joining the Pure Yang Sect. I really didn’t expect the young lad from our clan would join one of the top forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion so quickly.”

The eyes of Linghu Zheng Xing, Linghu Heng, and Linghu Huan lit up. They had a good relationship with Duan Ling Tian, after all. They were naturally happy for him when they learned that he would be going to the Pure Yang Sect.

As for the other elders, they exchanged a look, feeling complicated. Back then, they had insisted on stripping Linghu Ren Jie of his position because Linghu Ren Jie had indulged in Duan Ling Tian, causing the loss of many divine rocks. Later on, Duan Ling Tian had promised that he would return the divine rocks within 100 years. However, only a few decades had passed since then.

Previously, when they heard of Duan Ling Tian’s outstanding performance in the Flying Dragon Sect, they had been filled with regrets. They regretted penalizing Linghu Ren Jie for favoring Duan Ling Tian. It was due to this reason that Duan Ling Tian did not interact with those from the Linghu faction after joining the Flying Dragon Sect. For 100 million rocks, they had lost the opportunity to establish a good relationship with such an outstanding prodigy. How could they not feel regretful?

After repaying them, Duan Ling Tian likely would have nothing to do with the Linghu clan anymore. After all, just because he took care of Linghu Ren Jie, it did not mean he had to take care of everyone from the Linghu clan.

After thinking about it, the elders, those present and not present, began to discuss among themselves through Voice Transmission.

“When Duan Ling Tian arrives, let’s tell him that there’s no need to settle the debt. Moreover, we’ll also tell him that Ren Jie will be reinstated as the clan leader and will remain so unless he chooses to resign.”

“I agree.”

“I agree as well.”

Although 100 million divine rocks were a lot, the Linghu clan was not greatly impacted by the loss. 100 million divine rocks were nothing in exchange for the favor of a Lord of Gods who was not even 3,000 years old with a bright future ahead. Although he was just a rudimentary Lord of Gods, he managed to kill two intermediate Lords of Gods. His strength was almost comparable to a White Dragon Elder. Someone like that definitely would rise very high in the future. Perhaps, in another 10,000 years, he would become an Emperor of Gods.

When the elders thought about how the Linghu clan would be associated with an Emperor of Gods, they could not help but feel excited. They could not wait to make amends with Duan Ling Tian. In their eyes, Duan Ling Tian now was no different from an Emperor of Gods.

At this moment, Linghu Ren Jie, who had keen eyesight, saw three figures in the distance and said, “They’re here.”

Linghu Ren Jie was very familiar with the purple figure in the distance.

“I wonder which elders from the Pure Yang Sect came? There are different ranks of elders in the Pure Yang, based on what I know. I heard the Transcendence Elders are ranked third, and their status is like that of the Black Dragon Elders in the Flying Dragon Sect. However, their strength is like that of Golden Dragon Elders. They’re all outstanding Lords of Gods.”

“Even if the Pure Yang Sect only sent a Spirit Void Elder to accompany Duan Ling Tian, it already shows how much they value him…”

“That’s right. Although Spirit Void Elders’ status is like that of White Dragon Elder in the Pure Yang Sect, their strength is that of a Black Dragon Elder at least.”

“Alas, I don’t think they would send a Spirit Void Elder, let alone two, to accompany Duan Ling Tian.”

“Even if they sent Pristine Void Elders, it’s more than enough to show how much they value Duan Ling Tian! A Pristine Void Elder’s strength is comparable to that of a White Dragon Elder in the Flying Dragon Sect! They’re all outstanding intermediate Lords of Gods. Currently, there are only two White Dragon Elders in our Linghu faction in the Flying Dragon Sect.”

The gossiping elders fell silent as soon as Duan Ling Tian arrived.

As soon as the trio arrived, Linghu Ren Jie stepped forward and bowed respectfully before he took the initiative to say, “Greetings, elders. I’m Linghu Ren Jie.”

With that, the others followed suit.

“Greetings, elders. I’m Linghu Zheng Xing.”

Duan Ling Tian smiled brightly when he saw Linghu Ren Jie again. “Clan leader!”

“I’m no longer the clan leader,” Linghu Ren Jie said. He had corrected Duan Ling Tian many times, but Duan Ling Tian seemed to forget the reminder every time.

Upon hearing these words, the other elders from the Linghu clan really wanted to speak up and say that they wanted Linghu Ren Jie to become the clan leader again. However, with the presence of the two elders from the Pure Yang Sect, they did not dare to speak rashly. In front of such powerhouses, they were not qualified to speak. They were aware of their limitations and status in front of these powerhouses.

Duan Ling Tian chuckled and said, “In my heart, you’ll always be the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan.”

After that, Duan Ling Tian looked at Linghu Zheng Xing, Linghu Huan, and Linghu Huan before he greeted them with a smile. He naturally remembered how they had taken care of him in the past.

The trio smiled and nodded before their eyes shifted to the young man standing next to Duan Ling Tian

The young man looked extraordinary and was clearly not simple.

Linghu Ren Jie glanced at the young man next to Duan Ling Tian and the old man standing slightly behind the duo before he said politely with a smile, “Duan Ling Tian, please introduce the two elders from the Pure Yang Sect to us.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded before he looked at Qin Wu Yang and said, “This is Elder Qin Wu Yang of the Pure Yang Sect.”

‘Qin Wu Yang!’

Linghu Ren Jie and the others did not react to the introduction, but Linghu Zheng Xing, Linghu Huan, and Linghu Heng’s expressions changed immediately. After all, they were familiar with this name.

During their younger days, Qin Wu Yang was a prodigy in the Pure Yang Sect, and he was famous in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. He was among the top ten prodigies of the Pure Yang Sect at that time. Currently, he was already an advanced Lord of Gods, and he was also a Spirit Void Elder.

Linghu Zheng Xing looked at Qin Wu Yang excitedly as he said in a slightly trembling voice, “Elder Qin Wu Yang… The Spirit Void Elder?”

Upon hearing these words, the others from the Linghu clan were stunned. Like they had discussed earlier, Spirit Void Elders were all advanced Lords of Gods with strength comparable to Black Dragon Elders from the Flying Dragon Sect.

They were also confused. Why was the old man, a Spirit Void Elder, standing behind Duan Ling Tian and the young man as though he was an attendant? Did Linghu Zheng Xing make a mistake? It was impossible, right?
