Chapter 3760 Hou Qing Ning’s Warning
In the Profound Energy Land’s Eastern Ridge Mansion.
Duan Ling Tian had been refining Divine Pills outside Linghu City. After he refined all king-grade Limit Divine Pills he needed, he decided to try to refine lord-grade Divine Pills that he could remember.
He planned to keep some of the lord-grade Divine Pills that were useful to him and give the rest to Linghu Ren Jie. The pills he planned to give Linghu Ren Jie were pills that Lin Yan had a low success rate of refining. Although Duan Ling Tian was unfamiliar with the process of refining lord-grade Divine Pills, his success rate was rather high due to his talent.
In just a few days, Duan Ling Tian managed to refine three lord-grade Divine Pills for Linghu Ren Jie. Although he failed a few times, overall, it could be considered a success.
“I just need to refine another two lord-grade Divine Pills.”
Just when he decided to refine another two lord-grade Divine Pills before returning to the Linghu clan’s estate, he was interrupted by a message.
“Duan Ling Tian.”
Duan Ling Tian smiled when he realized the message was from Hou Qing Ning, a Ten Stars student whom he had met in Skywind City’s Hidden Fog Academy. Without waiting for Hou Qing Ning to say more, he asked, “What’s with the sudden message? Did something good happen? Did the dean recommend you to join the Hidden Fog Sect ahead of time?”
It had been a long time since Duan Ling Tian had spoken to Hou Qing Ning. Hou Qing Ning, along with Ding Yan, who suddenly withdrew from the Hidden Fog Academy and vanished without a trace, were his only friends from his time in the Hidden Fog Academy.
Hou Qing Ning sighed. “What a joke. Do you think everyone’s like you?” After a pause, he added, “I wouldn’t have sent you a message if the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect didn’t send me on an errand in Linghu City. You’ve soared so high up that I can no longer catch up to you.”
“Hou Qing Ning, since when did your self-esteem drop so low? I still remember you owe me a sparring lesson,” Duan Ling Tian said. Then, he asked, surprised, “You’re in Linghu City now?”
“Yes,” Hou Qing Ning replied. He paused again before he said, “Before the Ten Stars student’s test, you said you’ll treat me and the members of the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect to a meal. It’s your chance to fulfill your promise today since I’m in Linghu City.”
At the same time, in an inn in Linghu City.
Hou Qing Ning sat in a room with a hooded black-clad man.
Unbeknownst to Duan Ling Tian, the black-clad man had taken his Soul Pearl and was listening in on his and Hou Qing Ning’s conversation.
The black-clad man did not worry about Hou Qing Ning saying unnecessary words to Duan Ling Tian since he had used the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect to threaten Hou Qing Ning.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was perplexed when he heard Hou Qing Ning’s message. He did not remember promising to treat Hou Qing Ning or the members of the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect to a meal when they were in the Hidden Fog Academy.
He wondered if Hou Qing Ning made a mistake? However, after mulling over it for a moment, he thought it was unlikely that Hou Qing Ning made a mistake. Perhaps, it could be the case if it was just Hou Qing Ning alone, but there was no reason for him to say he would treat the members of the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect to a meal.
With this, Duan Ling Tian recalled the time when Hou Qing Ning offered to help him and arranged for some members of the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect to wait near the Ten Stars student’s trial ground. At that time, many of the members of various king-rank forces in Skywind City were waiting to attack him on the trial ground. However, at that time, he had refused Hou Qing Ning’s help.

‘It seems like he’s trying to tell me something or hint that something isn’t right. Moreover, why would the king-rank Ten Thousand Leaves Sect send their Young Master to Linghu City to run an errand?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. Before long, he concluded that someone must have threatened Hou Qing Ning to lure him out of the Linghu clan.
‘Hou Qing Ning’s sudden appearance in Linghu city is too coincidental considering the clan leader just left a few days ago. The person who’s threatening Hou Qing Ning to lure me out must be one of Kuang Tian Zheng’s men. Like the clan leader said, even if Kuang Tian Zheng has returned to the Flying Dragon Sect, it’s possible that he left his men here…’
It did not take much for Duan Ling Tian to guess that someone must have used the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect to threaten Hou Qing Ning. After all, the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect was just a king-rank force; the strongest person in the sect was only a King of Gods. Hence, even an ordinary rudimentary Lord of Gods was enough to deal with the entire Ten Thousand Leaves Sect.
‘How pitiful! Even when he’s being threatened, he’s still trying to help me…’ Duan Ling Tian smiled bitterly. He felt incredibly guilty for implicating Hou Qing Ning with his matters.
At the same time.
The black-clad grew impatient when Duan Ling Tian did not reply for a long time. However, at this time, Duan Ling Tian finally replied.

“Let’s find a place to meet. You can decide on the place. I’ll be busy refining Divine Pills for the supreme elders of the Linghu clan over the next two days. When are you free to meet after two days?”
Hou Qing Ning did not reply immediately. Instead, he looked at the black-clad man. “We’ll meet after two days like he said. Make an appointment in the evening to have dinner,” the black-clad man said hoarsely.
Subsequently, just as he was instructed, Hou Qing Ning said to Duan Ling Tian, “Alright, let’s meet two days later in the evening to have dinner. I’ll be busy during the day. I’ll let you know where to meet at that time.”
“Alright,” Duan Ling Tian replied to Hou Qing Ning Following that, he quickly sent a message to Linghu Ren Jie to inform him of this matter.
“Someone’s threatening your friend to lure you out of the clan?” Linghu Ren Jie’s expression changed slightly when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s message. After listening to Duan Ling Tian’s explanation, he said grimly, “I’ve heard of the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect. It’s located between the Hidden Fog Sect and the Murong clan, which are both lord-rank forces. I’m good friends with the Clan Leader of the Murong clan. I’ll ask him to send a few of his clan’s powerhouses to check on the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect’s situation.”
“Thank you, Clan Leader,” Duan Ling Tian said. After thinking about a way to repay this favor to the Murong clan, he said to Linghu Ren Jie, “Clan Leader, can you tell the Murong clan that in return for their help, we’ll give them a batch of Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Divine Pills that have been refined into Limit Divine Pills. These are beneficial to young cultivators. You can tell them the effects of the pills on our Linghu clan’s young disciples.”
“Are you able to refine so many pills?” Linghu Ren Jie asked.
“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian said confidently, “I would’ve refined more for our Linghu clan’s disciples as well, but I was busy refining king-grade and lord-grade Divine Pills.”
“Very good. With this, our friendship aside, I believe Murong Yun Liu will be even more willing to help us,” Linghu Ren Jie said with a laugh, “I’ll contact him at once.”
Murong Yun Liu was the Clan Leader of the lord-rank Murong clan.
“Thank you,” Duan Ling Tian replied.
‘Murong clan? Lord-rank?’ Duan Ling Tian was reminded of Murong Sui Feng, the dean of Skywind City’s Hidden Fog Academy and also one of the Vice Sect Leaders of the Hidden Fog Sect. He wondered if Murong Sui Feng was related to the Murong clan.
After a while, Duan Ling Tian received another message from Linghu Ren Jie.
“Murong Yun Liu has agreed to help us. He and two of his clan’s supreme elders, who are comparable to the four Supreme Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect, will go check on the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect now. I told him the number of pills he’ll obtain depends on the effort he puts in. Don’t worry, I won’t let him take advantage of us,” Linghu Ren Jie said with a laugh.
“Thank you, Clan Leader.”
Duan Ling Tian felt relieved after listening to Linghu Ren Jie’s words. Hou Qing Ning had risked his life to warn him even when the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect was at stake. Hence, he would not allow disaster to fall on both Hou Qing Ning and the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect.
At this time, another message from Linghu Ren Jie arrived. “However, if the person threatening your friend is Kuang Tian Zheng’s man. I’m afraid he won’t be the only one. I’m worried our supreme elders won’t be enough to deal with them. I’ll ask our supreme elders to ask for help from their friends who’re near Linghu City. We’ll repay them with Limit Divine Pills for their help. Even if they have no use for the Limit Divine Pills, considering the value of the pills, I’m sure they’ll be interested.”
“That’s great,” Duan Ling Tian said. He was worried about this matter as well. Who knew if the person Kuang Tian Zheng sent was an intermediate Lord of Gods, and who knew if Kuang Tian Zheng sent more than one person? With that, even if all the supreme elders from the Linghu clan were present to protect him, he still might not survive. After all, they were not in the Linghu clan’s estate that was protected by the clan’s Guarding Formation.
