War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3794 Kuang Tian Zheng’s Second Disciple, Zhong Can

Duan Ling Tian was not omniscient, after all. He had no idea that staying in the Linghu clan’s chamber of laws for three months would cost the Linghu clan so much. It even cost Linghu Ren Jie his position as the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan. If he had been aware of that, he would not have stayed in the chamber of law for so long.

If Linghu Ren Jie had mentioned it to him, he would have understood. He would not have thought badly of Linghu Ren Jie at all. Alas, Linghu Ren Jie did not say anything to him.

Perhaps, most people would not care about such things. However, Duan Ling Tian was determined to repay the favor. This was the reason he had made a 100-year promise with the Linghu clan.

‘I’ll make sure to do everything I can within these 100 years to reinstate Clan Leader Linghu back to his position!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself determinedly.

When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he discovered Xue Hai Chuan was looking at him contemplatively.

Clearly, Xue Hai Chuan knew that Duan Ling Tian was thinking about something important, but he did not pry into Duan Ling Tian’s affairs. He simply spoke about the participants of the entrance examinations. Since he felt much closer to Duan Ling Tian now, the way he addressed Duan Ling Tian had also changed as he said, “Little Tian, those people should be your opponents.”

Xue Hai Chuan pointed at the 10,000 Devils Sect’s Du Po Jun, the Eastern Oriental Sect’s Hua Tian Du, and the Ouyang clan’s Ouyang Jian Chen. After looking at Duan Ling Tian’s potential opponents, his gaze finally stopped on a woman before he said, “That woman is quite amazing.”

Duan Ling Tian turned to look. Then, he said, “She’s known as Lady Seventh. She’s the seventh disciple of the Valley Master of 10,000 Flowers Valley.”

“10,000 Flowers Valley?”

Xue Hai Chuan seemed shocked by these words.

Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Brother Hai Chuan? Do you have connections with the 10,000 Flowers Valley?”

When Xue Hai Chuan regained his senses, he shook his head and said, “I had a friend in the 10,000 Flowers Valley, but I’ve not seen her in a long time now.” Then, when he turned back to look at Lady Seventh, his gaze seemed to soften as he murmured, “They’re too similar…”

Although Xue Hai Chuan’s voice was not loud, Duan Ling Tian heard them clearly. It seemed like Xue Hai Chuan’s connection to the 10,000 Flowers Valley was not a shallow one.

Xue Hai Chun’s mood seemed to have turned somewhat gloomy at this moment.

Hence, Duan Ling Tian did not ask any more questions and silently watched the inner disciples’ entrance examinations.

As time passed, many participants were eliminated.

However, Xue Hai Chuan’s attention was completely focused on the 10,000 Flowers Valley’s Lady Seven. His eyes carried a hint of nostalgia, making Duan Ling Tian wonder if he had an affair with someone related to Lady Seven. After all, Xue Hai Chuan had said something about how Lady Seven looked similar to someone.

After some time, the inner disciples’ entrance examinations finally came to an end.

Whether it was due to Dongfang Yan Nian’s deliberate care or not, both Hou Qing Ning and Murong Yin Yue successfully passed the examination and became inner disciples of the Flying Dragon Sect.

“It’s over.”

When the mirror image finally disappeared, Xue Hai Chuan finally regained his senses.

Duan Ling Tian glanced over and saw that Xue Hai Chuan’s eyelashes were wet with tears. However, they quickly evaporated due to Xue Hai Chuan’s Divine Energy. If it were not for his keen perception, he would not have noticed it at all.

With this, Duan Ling Tian was even more certain that Xue Hai Chuan had something to do with Lady Seven’s relative. That person was likely a female since Xue Hai Chuan had said Lady Seven resembled that person.

‘However, Lady Seven is wearing a veil. He must have meant that her eyes, forehead, and figure are similar to the person in his mind….’

“Little Tian,” Xue Hai Chuan, who was unaware of Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts, called out. He said with a faint smile, “I have to watch over my older brother so I won’t be able to accompany you during the Latent Dragon Grand Contest. Don’t worry. I’ll be watching it through a mirror image. Remember to rank first! The rewards for the first place are things that even make my heart

move!”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened when he heard Xue Hai Chuan’s words. He knew Xue Hai Chuan was not one to exaggerate. This meant that the rewards must be truly precious; even more so than the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill.

“I’ll try my best,” Duan Ling Tian replied modestly with a smile.

At this time, Xue Hai Chuan’s expression suddenly turned solemn before he said, “There’s one more thing. If you encounter Lady Seven from the 10,000 Flowers Valley, please try to go easy on her if she refuses to admit defeat.” Then, he explained, “If I’m not mistaken, she’s the descendant… of an old friend of mine.”

‘An old friend…’

Duan Ling Tian was certain of his speculation now. He naturally agreed to help Xue Hai Chuan. After all, this was not a difficult task.

“Please wait here for a moment. Senior Brother Dongfang should be here soon. He’ll bring you to the Fire Dragon Mountain again. That’s where all the new inner disciples will be staying.”

Xue Hai Chuan’s cultivation ground was located on another mountain range adjacent to the Fire Dragon Mountain. The two places were rather close. In fact, the intersection between the two mountain ranges was not far from his cultivation ground.

About an hour later, Dongfang Yan Nian finally arrived. He did not leave immediately and sat down to chat. As time passed, he grew closer to Duan Ling Tian as well and began to address Duan Ling Tian as Little Tian, and Duan Ling Tian also addressed him as Brother Yan Nian.

Initially, Duan Ling Tian had addressed Dongfang Yan Nian as Brother Dongfang, but Dongfang Yan Nian refused, saying it sounded too formal.

Duan Ling Tian was inwardly surprised that a White Dragon Elder was so easygoing.

As they continued to chat, Duan Ling Tian could see that Dongfang Yan Nian was a straightforward person. With this, his impression of Dongfang Yan Nian grew better. When night finally fell, Dongfang Nian finally led Duan Ling Tian away from Xue Hai Chuan’s cultivation ground to the temporary residence for new inner disciples of the Flying Dragon Sect.

The temporary residence for the new inner disciples of the Flying Dragon Sect was in the valley of the Fire Dragon Mountain. Buildings were scattered around the valley. There were also buildings that were built higher above the rest on the slopes of the valley that belonged to some elders.

Duan Ling Tian would be staying here while he waited for the Latent Grand Contest to start after three days.

The duo hovered in the air for a moment before Dongfang Yan Nian said with a smile before leaving, “Little Tian, I’ll see you in three days.”

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

After Dongfang Yan Nian left, Duan Ling Tian could sense many pairs of eyes looking at him from below. Most of them were disciples and a few elders.

“Duan Ling Tian!”

Duan Ling Tian looked down and saw Hou Qing Ning flying toward him. When he arrived next to Duan Ling Tian, he asked curiously, “Duan Ling Tian, you’re acquainted with Elder Dongfang? Moreover, both of you seemed very familiar with each other.” “Brother Yan Nian is good friends with Brother Hai Chuan. I was with Brother Hai Chuan earlier when you were taking the examinations.”

“I see.” Hou Qing Ning nodded. Through their previous exchanges, he knew that Duan Ling Tian had a good relationship with Xue Hai Chuan. After a moment, he sighed and said, “Today’s examination was a little too hard. I almost couldn’t pass it. Fortunately, my luck was pretty good and somehow managed to

pass.”

Hou Qing Ning’s tone was slightly grave, but it held a hint of happiness.

Duan Ling Tian merely smiled and did not say anything about Xue Hai Chuan asking for Dongfang Yan Nian to go easy on Hou Qing Ning and Murong Yin Yue. To him, this trivial matter was not worth mentioning between friends.

At the same time.

In another part of the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.

Kuang Tian Zheng, an inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, finally heard about what had happened today.

“That little bast*rd actually broke through and became an intermediate King of Gods?”

Kuang Tian Zheng’s expression was very unsightly at this moment. If it were not for his second disciple being in the same room as him, he would not have been able to resist smashing the table in front of him into pieces.

A young man dressed in a cyan long robe sat across from Kuang Tian Zheng at this moment. He was tall and had a sturdy figure. He had a stern countenance, and his dark eyebrows made him look even more stern. He was none other than Zhong Can, Kuang Tian Zheng’s second disciple and the son-in-law of Vice Sect Leader Xue of the Flying Dragon Sect.

“At that time, if he had died instead of Han’er, the one in the spotlight now would’ve been Han’er, not him!” Kuang Tian Zheng’s eyes were brimming with fury and hatred as he spoke.

“Can’er, you’ve not forgotten how Han’er treated you like a brother back then, right?” Kuang Tian Zheng asked in a low voice. His gaze softened as he looked at his second disciple.
