chapter-4110

Duan Ling Tian said, disappointed, “Although I surpassed Second Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Sister’s time, the difference between my time and yours and Eldest Senior Sisters is too big…”

“Five months and nine days are really not bad,” Yang Yu Chen said as he smiled reassuringly.

…

At the same time, in a remote courtyard in the Myriad Laws Academy.

An old man sat with his legs crossed and basking under the sun. The corners of his lips twitched before he muttered, “Yang Yu Chen, that brat… He’s really shameless! Duan Ling Tian spent five months and nine days in there, and he said it’s not bad? If I’m not mistaken, the longest time that someone had stayed in there is five months and five days. Duan Ling Tian set a new record by staying for five months and nine days. That brat is really shameless!”

The old man, who was the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy, could not help but complain when he heard Yang Yu Chen’s words. He was naturally aware of the Inner Palace faction’s history.

He was still in the midst of complaining about Yang Yu Chen when his expression suddenly soured…

…

At this time, Yang Yu Chen told Duan Ling Tian that he would bring Duan Ling Tian to meet someone called the Immortal Old Man.

“The Immortal Old Man? Third Senior Brother, is he an elder in the academy?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

Yang Yu Chen replied with a faint smile, “He’s the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy. That old man is very shameless, and he likes to eavesdrop on people. You better watch out. It’s best to set up a noise-canceling Formation when you want to speak about confidential matters. Otherwise, he’ll find out about all your secrets.”

Suddenly, as soon as Yang Yu Chen finished speaking, a clap of thunder rang in the air as a huge lightning bolt reminiscent of those from a Heavenly Tribulation struck Yang Yu Chen.

Yang Yu Chen hurriedly raised his hand and brought out a seven-foot-long spear before pointing it at the sky. When the lightning bolt struck the spear, he waved it, causing the lightning bolt to vanish into thin air.

In the next moment, a huge mountain outside of the Myriad Laws Academy suddenly exploded, causing the earth to quake.

The members of the Myriad Laws Academy were both shocked and puzzled by the sudden commotion. However, they did not dwell on it since it happened outside of the academy. They only wondered briefly if some powerhouses were fighting outside and accidentally destroyed a mountain.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up as he said, “Third Senior Brother, that’s not the law of space, right? It’s the law of time!”

Duan Ling Tian could sense the commotion outside even though he was far away. He knew Yang Yu Chen had sent the lightning bolt outside of the academy with his seven-foot-long spear.

‘It… It seems like the lightning bolt was sent by the Academy Master! He’s really eavesdropping on us! Is this behavior really appropriate for the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy? I really won’t be surprised now if I find out that he controls the Dark Net…’

Duan Ling Tian grew even warier with this thought in mind. Before even meeting the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy, he had already labeled the old man as shameless and petty. Why would the old man eavesdrop on the conversation between two men? Not only that, but the old man even attacked Yang Yu Chen because Yang Yu Chen said unfavorable words about the old man.

…

At the same time, the old man leaped to his feet in surprise.

Then, his eyes glinted as he muttered,”That brat used the law of time to send my attack away? It seems like he’s as strong or stronger than the others now… I really have a good eye for talent…”

…

“Junior brother, let’s go,” Yang Yu Chen said as he casually gestured to Duan Ling Tian to follow him to meet Su Bi Lie, the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy.

…

“Duan Ling Tian greets the Academy Master,” Duan Ling Tian said politely. During his journey here, he had been wondering what the petty and shameless old man would look like. He was surprised when he saw that the old man looked kind, amiable, and righteous.

Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly. ‘One really can’t judge a book by its cover…’

The old man, Su Bi Lie, nodded with a smile, “I don’t like to beat around the rush. Since you’re here, I’ll be frank with you. I think I know who issued the task on the Dark Net…”

Before Su Bi Lie finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian said bluntly, “It’s natural for you to know who issued the task since you control the Dark Net, right?”

Duan Ling Tian dared to speak his mind because he could tell Su Bi Lie was not strict. Based on Su Bi Lie and Yang Yu Chen’s interaction, it could be seen that Su Bi Lie was rather easygoing. Otherwise, Duan Ling Tian would not have dared to interrupt an advanced Supreme God who could crush him with just one finger.

Su Bi Lie looked at Yang Yu Chen instinctively as he asked, “Did he tell you that?”

Before Yang Yu Chen responded, Duan Ling Tian hastily shook his head and said, “Third Senior Brother didn’t say anything. I heard the rumors from the others.”

Su Bi Lie nodded. “Rumors aren’t credible so don’t pay attention to them. Let me tell you about my speculation regarding those who issued the task and their motive. There wouldn’t be a problem if you’re just an ordinary student. I’m worried they might hire someone to assassinate you. If they deem you a threat, they might send an Emperor of Gods to kill you.”

Duan Ling Tian frowned upon hearing Su Bi Lie’s words.

Yang Yu Chen had spoken about this as well previously. It was also the reason he insisted that Duan Ling Tian returned to the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm previously. He also wanted Duan Ling Tian to improve his strength in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic before Duan Ling Tian returned to his dormitory room so Duan Ling Tian could better protect himself.

Su Bi Lie continued to say, “I can help you deal with this matter. I’ll warn them off. At that time, not only will they be afraid to make a move, but they might even be forced to protect you.”

Duan Ling Tian’s frown deepened when he heard these words. After all, he did not know what Su Bi Lie wanted in exchange for his help.

As though he could read Duan Ling Tian’s mind, Su Bi Lie said, “I spoke to your Third Senior Brother about this before. Like you, he also assumed I want something from him or you in exchange for my help. However, I want nothing from both of you. Perhaps, you can think of it as just me doing you a favor. It’s up to you to return the favor or not. You don’t have to feel obligated. I’m speaking to you today because your Third Senior Brother said he could not accept my help on your behalf.”

Although Su Bi Lie said Duan Ling Tian did not have to feel obligated to return the favor, his principles naturally would not allow him to let the favor go unpaid.

At this time, Yang Yu Chen said through Voice Transmission, “Junior brother, you’re free to decide according to your thoughts. If you’re unwilling, I’ll send my doppelgangers to protect you at all times. It’s quite impossible for those from the Legacy faction to send a Supreme God to kill you. Even if they do so, my doppelganger will be able to delay for time against a rudimentary Supreme God until I arrive.”

Yang Yu Chen did not hesitate to give Duan Ling Tian a second choice if Duan Ling Tian was unwilling to accept Su Bi Lie’s help.
