Chapter 3868: Law Enforcement Hall

As soon as Kuang Tian Zheng saw his third attack failed to kill Duan Ling Tian, he knew it was over. He knew he was going to lose his life. Although he felt unwilling and resentful, there was nothing he could do,

“Is it worth it?”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Kuang Tian Zheng’s expression changed drastically. In fact, at this time, he was no longer sure if he was determined to kill Duan Ling Tian because he wanted to avenge his disciple or if it was because he was worried Duan Ling Tian would kill him once Duan Ling Tian was strong enough. In recent times, he had begun to regret trying to kill Duan Ling Tian in the Linghu clan’s estate. After all, it was due to the incident that he had become enemies with Duan Ling Tian. Hence, he thought the latter was more likely to be the reason.

Upon seeing Kuang Tian Zheng remaining silent with a sour expression on his face, Duan Ling Tian wore a mocking expression on his face as he said through Voice Transmission, “Elder Kuang, let me tell you the truth. I was truly the one who killed your disciple, Chu Han.”

Kuang Tian Zheng’s expression did not change much upon hearing the confession. At this time, his heart was like a pool of still water. After all, although he had no evidence, he had always been certain that Duan Ling Tian was the one who killed Chu Han. Hence, he was not angry or surprised.

Duan Ling Tian continued to say through Voice Transmission, “I bet you don’t know how he offended me, right?”

Upon hearing this, there was finally a slight change in Kuang Tian Zheng’s expression.

Duan Ling Tian said, “In fact, I don’t have any grudge against him. It’s just that both of us ran into a fortuitous encounter at the same time, and only one person would be able to benefit from the encounter. We both tried to kill each other. He can only blame himself for being weaker than me.”

Duan Ling Tian ignored the surging emotions in Kuang Tian Zheng’s eyes and said, “It’s all thanks to that fortuitous encounter that I was able to become an advanced King of Gods so quickly. With that, I was also able to become a Lord of Gods now. Otherwise, it’d be impossible for me to become a Lord of Gods even if I were given ten years and had the help of the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill. Elder Kuang, I really have to thank Chu Han. If it weren’t because of him being so weak, I wouldn’t be a Lord of Gods today, and I would’ve died earlier when you attacked.”

Duan Ling Tian’s words had successfully infuriated Kuang Tian Zheng. “Duan Ling Tian, although I failed to kill you today, you don’t have much longer to live. At that time, you can accompany me and Chu Han!”

“I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed,” Duan Ling Tian said dismissively.

Kuang Tian Zheng stopped speaking. Regardless of his anger, he knew he could do nothing to Duan Ling Tian now. Instead, he sent a message to Xue Ming Zhi.

…

“He ran into a fortuitous encounter with Chu Han, and it’s because of the encounter that he became a Lord of Gods so quickly?”

When Xue Ming Zhi found out that Duan Ling Tian had already become a Lord of Gods, he knew that Kuang Tian Zheng would fail. However, he did not blame Kuang Tian Zheng for his failure when he learned that Kuang Tian Zheng had used the second trait from his bloodline power. He knew that Kuang Tian Zheng had tried his best. After all, very few rudimentary Lords of Gods could withstand that attack. How could they know that Duan Ling Tian would be able to do so?

Based on this, it could be seen that Duan Ling Tian was stronger than ordinary rudimentary Lords of Gods. His strength was not far from that of an intermediate Lord of Gods.

‘I thought he was able to refine lord-grade Limit Divine Pills. Fortunately, that’s not the case,’ Xue Ming Zhi thought to himself and sighed in relief after he received Kuang Tian Zheng’s message.

He had been worried that Duan Ling Tian was capable of refining lord-grade Limit Divine Pills. Once news of it spread, the top emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion would double their efforts to recruit Duan Ling Tian. Even powerful forces outside of the Eastern Ridge Mansion might recruit him. At that time, with just a word, Duan Ling Tian could easily kill him even if he was the Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect.

…

If Duan Ling Tian was aware of Xue Ming Zhi’s thoughts, he would have scoffed. Although being able to refine lord-grade Limit Divine Pills would make him famous, it would also bring great disasters.

He was just a Lord of Gods now. If it was known that he possessed such heaven-defying skills in alchemy, he would not be able to protect himself. After all, there would definitely be powerhouses who would try to enslave or imprison him so he could refine lord-grade Limit Divine Pills for them.

There were many divine alchemists in the Realms of Gods who were imprisoned because of their skills. Many of them were highly skilled in alchemy, but their cultivation bases were not high.

For this reason, Duan Ling Tian intentionally told Kuang Tian Zheng about how he was only able to become a Lord of Gods so quickly because of the fortuitous encounter he had run into. Otherwise, when news of his breakthrough spread, some people would definitely suspect that he was able to refine lord-grade Limit Divine Pills to raise his cultivation base.

…

Kuang Tian continued to send another message to Xue Ming Zhi.

“Vice Sect Leader Xue, I’ll die soon after arriving at the Lord Enforcement Hall. There are a few things I want to say.”

“Speak.” Xue Ming Zhi was very patient. The words of a man on the brink of death often came from the heart, after all. He wanted to hear Kuang Tian Zheng’s final words.

“Duan Ling Tian is young, but his way of doing things is very mature and meticulous. Even someone who’s 10,000 years old might not be as mature as him. Previously, after I tried to lure him out using Ding Yan, he sent his doppelganger out instead. After the clone was destroyed, he went to stay with Xue Hai Chuan immediately. At that time, I already knew he has a very keen sense of danger, and I suspect everything was within his calculations. When you lured Xue Hai Chuan to the Imperial War Realm, he already had a solution. By staying at Revered Elder Sikong’s cultivation ground, there was nothing we could do to him. This time, he came out alone, and he was not surprised at all when I tried to kill him. Like I said, he had calculated everything. Perhaps, he had deliberately come out so I would take action.”

Kuang Tian Zheng’s tone darkened as he continued to say, “I heard he’s from a Devata Realm. Based on his actions, I don’t think he came from an extraordinary background when he was in the Devata Realm. It seemed to me that he had struggled all the way to the top. In any case, I only said these things because I want to remind you that it’s best not to make a move again unless you’re absolutely certain you’ll succeed. Otherwise, it’s likely that you’ll suffer a loss. I’m a living example of that.”

Xue Ming Zhi fell silent for a long time after listening to Kuang Tian Zheng’s words. As one of the Vice Sect Leaders of the Flying Dragon Sect, even ifhe was not smarter than Kuang Tian Zheng, he was at least as smart as Kuang Tian Zheng. He naturally understood the things Kuang Tian Zheng said. It was just that Kuang Tian Zheng had further confirmed his thoughts. He even briefly toyed with the idea of extending an olive branch to Duan Ling Tian before he dismissed the idea. At this point, there was no way for him to turn back.

Although only Kuang Tian Zheng had shown up, with Duan Ling Tian’s intelligence, Xue Ming Zhi knew it would not be difficult for Duan Ling Tian to guess that he was pulling the strings behind the scenes. After all, the Black Dragon Elder patrolling the area did not show up for a long time even after all the White Dragon Elders arrived.

‘He’s so strong even though he’s just become a rudimentary Lord of Gods. Given a little more time, I likely won’t be a match for him anymore. Although I agree with Kuang Tian Zheng in regard to not acting rashly, I don’t have much time. I have no choice but to get rid of Duan Ling Tian as soon as I can.’

Following that, Kuang Tian Zheng quickly sent a message. The recipient of the message was not from the Flying Dragon Sect; it was a friend whom he had met when he was wandering outside the sect.

‘I need two intermediate Lords of Gods to help me with a task. No matter how high the price, I’m willing to pay.’

…

At the Law Enforcement Hall.

After Duan Ling Tian and Kuang Tian Zheng were brought to the hall, the people in the Law Enforcement Hall began to look up the recordings from the Mirror Image Formation in Roving Dragon Mountain. Then, a report was sent to the Vice Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, alsoBlack Dragon Elder, who was away at the moment.

The Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall was one of the Golden Dragon Elders in the Flying Dragon Sect. He was currently on duty in the Imperial War Realm’s Flying Dragon City.

Upon learning about the assassination attempt, the Vice Hall Master of the Law Enforcement sent a message to Long Qing Chong, the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, immediately.
