Yang Yu Chen nodded. “That’s right. Don’t worry. Although I’m an eyesore to him, in this matter, he won’t dare to make things difficult for you unless he’s willing to suffer the consequences. Moreover, after that old geezer spoke to you, he had warned the other two Vice Academy Masters and the members of the Legacy faction and told them to leave you alone. Currently, I’m sure they don’t dare to make a move against you at all. In fact, they might even protect you if they find out someone else is targeting you.”

After Yang Yu Chen finished speaking, he and Duan Ling Tian laughed at the irony of the members of the Legacy faction having to protect Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian knew very well that this was only possible because of Yang Yu Chen. Without Yang Yu Chen, who knew if the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy would help him to this extent? As such, he felt very grateful and that he owed Yang Yu Chen a huge favor.

Soon after, Yang Yu Chen led Duan Ling Tian to a hall in the Myriad Laws Academy where the academy received guests.

There were people standing on both sides of the hall. An old man stood at the lead at each side, and one person; a woman and a middle-aged man; stood behind them respectively.

After leading Duan Ling Tian into the hall, Yang Yu Chen began to make the introduction. He gestured at a skinny old man with a medium build and said, “Junior brother, this is Vice Academy Master Yu.”

Vice Academy Master Yu’s name was Yu Ying.

“Vice Academy Master Yu,” Duan Ling Tian greeted.

Yu Ying forced a smile on his face as he said, “I’ve long heard of you, Duan Ling Tian. This is the first time Vice Academy Master Yang has accepted a disciple on behalf of his master. He has a very discerning eye so there’s no doubt that you’re very outstanding.”

Yu Ying was not stingy with his praise at all, and he was very friendly when he spoke. If Duan Ling Tian did not know better, he would not have been able to guess that there was a conflict between Yu Ying and Yang Yu Chen. He could not help but sigh at Yu Ying’s acting skills. Outwardly, he said modestly, “You’re overpraising me, Vice Academy Master Yu.”

Following that, Yang Yu Chen introduced Duan Ling Tian to the middle-aged man standing behind Yu Ying. He was Yu Ying’s disciple.

After Duan Ling Tian greeted the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man replied warmly, “Junior Brother Duan.”

The middle-aged man was older than Yang Yu Chen. Yang Yu Chen’s master and the middle-aged man’s master were from the same generation, but due to Yang Yu Chen’s strength and status, the middle-aged man had to address Yang Yu Chen as ‘junior uncle’.

At this time, Yu Ying smiled and looked at the two people standing on the other side and said, “Alright, let’s not forget about our guests. I’m sure Vice Leader Lu and his disciple can’t wait to get down to business.”

“It’s nothing,” the old man standing on the other side, who was dressed in a gray robe, said with a smile, “I’ve waited for so long it’s fine to wait a little longer.” After saying that, he looked at Yang Yu Chen before he continued to say, “Vice Academy Master Yang, when we met previously, you weren’t a Vice Academy Master. I didn’t expect that in just a few thousand years, not only did you become a Vice Academy Master, but you also broke through and became an intermediate Supreme God.”

In the past, Lu Tian Feng had met Yang Yu Chen when Yang Yu Chen was just an ordinary teacher in the Myriad Laws Academy. Yang Yu Chen could only be consideredhis junior at that time. After a few thousand years, the junior from the past was now standing on equal footing with him, making him feel jealous. There was no doubt that Yang Yu Chen was a peerless prodigy of the Myriad Laws Academy.

“I was just lucky,” Yang Yu Chen said with a slight smile, “Vice Leader Lu, we’ve not met for so many years, but you’re still as charming as ever.”

Lu Tian Feng said with a sigh, “I’m getting old. You young people will be the leaders in the future…”

Following that, Lu Tian Feng looked at Duan Ling Tian, who was standing next to Yang Yu Chen, and said with a faint smile, “Vice Academy Master, this must be Duan Ling Tian, your junior brother whom you accepted on behalf of your master, right? I heard of his name before. He’s the strongest among those under the age of 10,000 in the Seven Mansions. He’s not even 1,000 years old, but he’s already an intermediate Lord of Gods. His potential is truly limitless!”

Lu Tian Feng directly said that Duan Ling Tian was not even 1,000 years old.

Duan Ling Tian and Yang Yu Chen were relatively calm, but the expressions of Yu Ying, his disciple, and Lu Tian Feng’s disciple changed when they heard this revelation, and they instinctively turned to look at Duan Ling Tian in shock. After all, they were under the impression that Duan Ling Tian was almost 3,000 years old. How could they not feel shocked when they heard that he was not even 1,000 years old?

Yang Yu Chen looked at Lu Tian Feng meaningfully as he said with a faint smile, “It seems like Vice Leader Lu expended quite a bit of effort to investigate my junior brother. I didn’t expect you to know about this matter. Did you find out about this in the lower realms?”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes shone with murderous intent as Yang Yu Chen spoke. Lu Tian Feng’s words were tantamount to an admission that he was the one who sent people to lower realms to kill those related to him.

Lu Tian Feng laughed. “I was the one who sent a representative to the Pure Yang Sect to invite Duan Ling Tian to join our congregation. At that time, I sent people to the lower realms to find out more about your outstanding junior brother. I was truly shocked by the results of the investigation. If it weren’t for the fact that those I sent to the lower realms were reliable, I wouldn’t believe that a person from a mundane realm could achieve so many miraculous feats.”

Lu Tian Feng sighed emotionally before he continued to say, “I’m afraid the word ‘prodigy’ isn’t enough to describe him. It’s not an exaggeration to call someone like him a monstrous talent or the son of heaven.”

Without waiting for a reply, Lu Tian Feng turned to Yu Ying and said, “Vice Academy Master Yu, based on your earlier reaction… Could it be that you were unaware that Duan Ling Tian is not even 1,000 years old?”

A complicated expression could be seen on Yu Ying’s face as he said, “Indeed, I was unaware of this matter until now.”

Lu Tian Feng smiled and said, “I can imagine what you’re feeling right now, Vice Academy Master Yu. When I first learned about it, I was shocked as well. What a pity. Not long after that, I received news that Vice Academy Master Yang had successfully recruited him on behalf of his master…” He looked at Yang Yu Chen again and said with a sigh, “If I knew it earlier, I would’ve told the representative I sent to offer Duan Ling Tian better conditions. This will definitely be the biggest regret in my life. I’m not surprised if I form a Devil’s Heart because of this matter…”

Lu Tian Feng’s expression turned solemn as he asked, “Vice Academy Master Yang, I don’t suppose you’re willing to part with your junior brother?”

Yang Yu Chen raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean by that, Vice Leader Lu?”

Lu Tian Feng looked at Duan Ling Tian before he said, “I’d like to ask Vice Academy Master Yang to allow Duan Ling Tian to join our Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. Don’t worry. I won’t let him suffer. I’m willing to accept him as a disciple on behalf of my master as well and acknowledge him as my junior brother. His treatment will be even better than that of our Holy Sons.”

The expressions of Yang Yu Chen, Yu Ying, and Yu Ying’s disciple changed slightly upon hearing Lu Tian Feng’s words. They were not fools. How could they not understand the meaning behind Lu Tian Feng’s words? Lu Tian Feng’s words only sounded like an invitation, but it was likely that as soon as Duan Ling Tian left the Myriad Laws Academy, he would kill Duan Ling Tian.

Lu Tian Feng continued to say, “I’m also willing to compensate you generously, Vice Academy Master Yang, if you agree to my request. I promise that the compensation will be to your satisfaction.”

It was clear that Lu Tian Feng was hoping to bribe Yang Yu Chen in exchange for Duan Ling Tian’s life.

At this moment, the polite smile on Yang Yu Chen’s face had already disappeared. His eyes glinted with killing intent as he said, “Vice Leader Lu, in the future, it’s best if you don’t make this kind of joke. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Lu Tian Feng laughed when he heard Yang Yu Chen’s words. He said, “Vice Academy Master, as you said, it’s just a joke.” Then, he turned to ask Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t scare you, did I?”

Duan Ling Tian replied calmly, “Vice Leader Lu, do I look like I’m scared? It’s just a joke, after all.”

Despite his polite words, Duan Ling Tian was even more determined to kill Lu Tian Feng. So what if Lu Tian Feng was an intermediate Supreme God? He might not be able to kill Lu Tian Feng now, but that would not be the case in the future. After all, he could not even kill an intermediate Supreme God, how could he go to the Divine Offering Land and save Ke’er from the clutches of two prime supreme-rank forces?

At this time, Yang Yu Chen said with a hint of impatience, “Let’s get down to business.”

“Alright.”

Lu Tian Feng nodded as the smile on his face vanished. Then, he called out to the woman standing behind him.

The woman’s appearance was ordinary, and she looked very rough and tough temperament. When she stepped forward, a crystal bead the size of a baseball appeared in front of her.

The crystal bead shone brightly before an old woman dressed in a light blue robe appeared.

At the same time, Yang Yu Chen said to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission, “She’s Lu Tian Feng’s disciple. It’s said that she didn’t want her artifact soul to be more beautiful than her so she created this appearance for the artifact soul when the artifact soul was born.”

Duan Ling Tian was rather surprised when he heard that there was actually someone who was worried about their artifact souls looking better than they did.

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian asked, “With Lu Tian Feng’s disciple’s cultivation base, it’s not hard for her to change her appearance completely, right?”
