Chapter 3151: He’s Duan Ling Tian!
At this moment, Wan Qing Qing felt slightly regretful; she regretted revealing to Duan Ling Tian that she was privy to the location of the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base. She had assumed Duan Ling Tian was going to wait outside the base and silently eliminate those who came out. Who knew he was going to do it so openly so that he could lure those from the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base out?
If she did not join forces with Duan Ling Tian, she would not care less about Duan Ling Tian’s plan. Even if groups of disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion attacked him and eliminated him, it would have nothing to do with her. However, things were different now that she decided to work with him. If he was somehow eliminated, she would be on her own. Since so many days had passed since the middle realm opened and she had yet to gain any points, without Duan Ling Tian’s help this time, her rank would definitely fall! Currently, she only had one point after all!
“Duan Ling Tian, although none of the top six are from the Fire Glaze Mansion, the Fire Glaze Mansion has disciples who often rank in the top ten. They also have two disciples who consistently rank in the top 30. Most importantly, if you deliberately wait outside their base to eliminate their disciples, they won’t fight with you one-on-one. They’d definitely group up to fight you,” Wan Qing Qing said solemnly. It was obvious she was trying to dissuade Duan Ling Tian from carrying out his dangerous plan. Even those six people who were ranked in the top six would not do something as bold as this. After all, they would have a difficult time as well if everyone grouped up to attack them. Moreover, they would not want to offend another grade-six Celestial Mansion.
Duan Ling Tian nodded after he heard Wan Qing Qing’s words. However, he still said, “I understand… Now, can you please lead me to the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base? Our time is limited, and I don’t want to spend too much time near the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base.”
Wan Qing Qing sighed in relief when she heard Duan Ling Tian said he did not wish to spend too much time near the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base. She thought she had successfully dissuaded him from openly provoking the Fire Glaze Mansion. Nevertheless, she would find out how naive her thinking was after she led Duan Ling Tian to the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base.
Swoosh!
Wan Qing Qing hid somewhere in the distance once they arrived in the vicinity of the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base. She watched as Duan Ling Tian teleported to the sky above the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base.
Duan Ling Tian hovered in the sky and laced his voice with his Celestial Origin Energy before he said, “Listen up, disciples of the Fire Glaze Mansion… You’d better stay in your base. Otherwise, I’ll eliminate each and every one of you who dares to step out!”
Not only did Duan Ling Tian’s voice resound clearly through the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base, but even Wan Qing Qing who was hiding a distance away could clearly hear his voice.
“What…” Wan Qing Qing was dumbfounded. Was this what he meant when he said he did not wish to spend too much time near the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base?
Meanwhile, silence descended briefly in the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base. Soon enough, a commotion broke out.
“Who’s kicking up a fuss in our Fire Glaze Mansion’s base?”
“State your name! It seems like you want to die a gruesome death!”
“Who’s that? Are you trying to provoke the Fire Glaze Mansion?”
Every single disciple who was in the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base was angered. They stopped what they were doing and looked at the sky outside of the Formation protecting their base. However, despite their angry words, no one stepped forward to take action. After all, for these people to reach this stage in their cultivation base, they were naturally cautious. Since the purple figure hovering in the air was confident enough to cause a ruckus, there were only two possibilities: the purple figure had a death wish or he truly had nothing to fear. In their opinion, the second possibility was more likely.
“Come out of your base if you want to know my name… Cowards aren’t qualified to know my name!” Duan Ling Tian continued his provocations. Inwardly, he was slightly puzzled. His words were rather harsh, but the disciples from the Fire Glaze Man could still maintain their composure?
Since Duan Ling Tian was hovering quite a distance away from the disciples of the Fire Glaze Mansion and he had taken measures to hide his identity token with his Celestial Origin Energy, the disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion’s disciples could not see anything when they tried to look at his identity token.
“Damn it!”
“Who the hell is he? He dares to call us cowards?”
“I say we fight him at once. With our collective strength, can he still threaten us? If he’s really too much for us to handle, we can always crush our Accumulative Point Jades to escape. Once we return to the mansion’s estate, we can spread word of this as well!”.
“You’re right! Let’s go!”
After listening to Duan Ling Tian provoking them again and again, the Fire Glaze Mansion disciples could no longer endure it. All of them flew up into the air one after another.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
About twenty disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion charged at Duan Ling Tian immediately, leaving their base and its protection.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Colorful energies sailed in the sky toward Duan Ling Tian as the Fire Glaze Mansion disciples attacked in unison.
Swoosh!
Just as the attacks were about to land on Duan Ling Tian, he suddenly vanished into thin air. He reappeared behind the group of disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion, blocking their path back to the base.
“Where did he go?”
“Is he dead? However, I don’t think my attack landed…”
“Me too…”
Due to the chaotic energies and Duan Ling Tian’s timing, the disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion did not have a good look at what happened.
All of a sudden, someone cried out, “He’s behind us!”
The group of disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion hastily turned around.
“Heavens! When did he get there? I didn’t see any signs of movement earlier!”
“What a terrifying speed!”
At this moment, a few of them finally had a good look at Duan Ling Tian’s identity token.
“An outer court disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion!”
“H-he… H-he’s Duan Ling Tian!”
With this revelation, the expressions of the Fire Glaze Mansion disciples changed drastically as they inhaled sharply. A few of them even shuddered in fear. After all, they knew if the purple figure in front of them was truly Duan Ling Tian, the outer court disciple from the Profound Nether Mansion, they were no match for him at all.
Until last month, none of them had heard of Duan Ling Tian. They only learned about his existence after the commotion he caused by consecutively eliminating eleven Martial Battle Mansion disciples all on his own. Moreover, the Martial Battle Court’s Heng Feng and Liu Xiao Zhou were part of these eleven people who were eliminated. One had to know that Heng Feng and Liu Xiao Zhou were ranked on the scoreboard.
Despite their number, there was only a handful of them who were ranked on the scoreboard in the past. However, it was mostly due to luck that they even managed to rank on the scoreboard.
At this moment, it could be seen that Duan Ling Tian’s reputation preceded him.
“Teleportation Profundity! He must have used the Teleportation Profundity earlier1”
“That’s why none of us saw him moving. It has to be the Teleportation Profundity!”
“As it turns out, the rumors are true! He really comprehended the law of space!”
“He must be extremely confident about eliminating us since he dares to come here. In my opinion, we should just crush our Accumulative Point Jades now. When we return, we can spread the word about his despicable act!”
“This Duan Ling Tian is too much!”
Although the Fire Glaze Mansion disciples hated Duan Ling Tian and wished they could kill him, they could only crush their Accumulative Point Jades one after another when they saw Duan Ling Tian’s energy stirring up the corner of his robes. In just a brief moment, all twenty of them disappeared from sight.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian discovered his points had increased from 33 points to 58 points. He thought to himself, ’58 points… From what I remember, I should be ranked 17th with these points…’
Meanwhile, Wan Qing Qing who was watching from afar saw the disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion disappearing. She was stunned despite knowing that they had taken the best course of action. “They… only attacked once?”
When she recalled the faces of the disciples from the Fire Glaze Mansion who had attacked Duan Ling Tian earlier, she did not see anyone familiar. Since she did not recognize them, they were probably not very strong. It was no wonder they were frightened into surrendering after only attacking once.
In the Fire Glaze Mansion’s estate.
One after another, disciples were transported out of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. Their sudden appearance, naturally, caught people’s attention.
“What happened?”
“Why did all of you come out at the same time?”
Faced with these questions, the expressions of the disciples who were just eliminated turned even more unsightly.
“It’s Duan Ling Tian!”
“The Profound Nether Mansion’s outer court disciple, Duan Ling Tian, found our base and lured us out!”
“He was making a ruckus, telling us to stay in the base and that he would eliminate those who dare to step out!”
As soon as these words fell, the entire place was as silent as a graveyard.
