Duan Ling Tian wanted to show Wan Qing Qing the way to the Profound Nether Mansion’s base so it would be easier for them to meet up later. Although he could also meet her at the Martial Battle Mansion’s base in the middle realm, he knew it would be difficult for her to reveal the location of her mansion’s base.
After Duan Ling Tian received Wan Qing Qing’s Soul Pearl, he said. “If the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base is close to the Martial Battle Mansion’s base, we can meet near the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base.”
“Where’s the Profound Nether Mansion’s base in the middle realm?” Wan Qing Qing asked. She did not fuss about Duan Ling Tian’s sudden need to leave. She could tell he was not trying to get out of his promise to her and that he genuinely had something urgent to attend to. After all, if he really wanted to renege on their deal, there was no need for him to come up with an excuse at all.
“That way.” Duan Ling Tian raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Profound Nether Mansion’s base.
Wan Qing Qing nodded. “Let’s meet near the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base then.” Since she would need to pass the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base on her way to the Profound Nether Mansion’s base, it was more convenient for both of them to meet near the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base that was like a middle-point for both of them.
“Alright!” Duan Ling Tian nodded before he added, “I’ll send you a message before entering the middle realm again. If you’re occupied and can’t enter at that time, just let me know.” After he finished speaking, he did not wait for her response and cast the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In just a few moments, Duan Ling Tian vanished from Wan Qing Qing’s sight. With this, she returned to the Martial Battle Mansion’s base as well. Like a streak of green light, she made her way to the base. Her speed was so fast that Duan Ling Tian’s Teleportation Profundity would not have been a match for her speed at all.
The distance between the Martial Battle Mansion’s base and the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base was closer compared to the distance between the Profound Nether Mansion’s base and the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base. Coupled with her superior speed, Wan Qing Qing arrived at the Martial Battle Mansion’s base before Duan Ling Tian arrived at the Profound Nether Mansion’s base.
“Senior Sister Wan!”
A group of disciples greeted Wan Qing Qing in unison as soon as she arrived at the Martial Battle Mansion’s base. She nodded faintly in response before she left the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Martial Battle Mansion discussed fervently among themselves
“I heard Senior Sister Wan was working with Senior Brother Heng Feng. It’s unfortunate that Senior Brother Heng Feng was eliminated,” one disciple said with a sigh.
“I just entered the middle realm. I didn’t see Senior Sister Wan’s name on the scoreboard at all. It seems like things aren’t going well for her after Senior Brother Heng Feng was eliminated,” a disciple who had just entered the middle realm 15 minutes ago chimed in.
“With her capabilities, it won’t be difficult for her to make it onto the scoreboard. It’s only her fourth day here, after all. It won’t be a problem for her to make it into the top 30 over the next six days.”
“That’s right! Unless Senior Sister Wan has really bad luck, she shouldn’t have a problem ranking in the top 30!”
“But why is she leaving?”
“Who knows? Maybe there’s something urgent she has to attend to?”
At this time, Wan Qing Qing appeared in one of the sites of the Transporting Formations in the Martial Battle Mansion’s estate. Since participants who were eliminated and participants who left on their own accord were sent to different sites, people knew she was not eliminated.
Wan Qing Qing instinctively turned to look at the scoreboard as soon as she arrived. ‘He’s ranked 5th?!’ It did not take long for her to discover Duan Ling Tian was ranked fifth and had 286 points.
A disciple who had discovered Wan Qing Qing’s presence asked curiously, “Senior Sister Wan, when Senior Heng Feng was eliminated by Duan Ling Tian, it must have been terrifying for you when you were escaping, right?”
Another disciple chimed in, “Of course it’s terrifying! Even the Fire Glaze Mansion’s Mo Ping Zhi and Tan Yuan failed to eliminate Duan Ling Tian after they joined forces! Senior Sister Wan is really lucky that she was able to escape!”
“That’s right. News from the Fire Glaze Mansion said that in terms of speed, Tan Yuan failed to escape even though his speed was on equal ground with Duan Ling Tian’s speed. Duan Ling Tian prevented him from leaving with the Restraining Profundity before eliminating him.”
“Well, you can’t say Senior Sister Wan managed to escape due to luck. After all, Senior Sister Wan is much faster than Tan Yuan. Moreover, Tan Yuan has never been able to eliminate Senior Sister Wan”
“Whatever it is, Tan Yuan was eliminated by Duan Ling Tian, and Senior Sister Wan successfully escaped from him. This proves that she’s stronger than Tan Yuan!”
It seemed as though Wan Qing Qing was deaf to the praises and flattery in her surroundings. She seemed to be lost in thought, and a hint of surprise could be seen in the depths of her eyes. ‘H-he eliminated the Fire Glaze Mansion’s Tan Yuan and Mo Ping Zhi? Didn’t he just enter the middle realm two days ago?’
Duan Ling Tian and Wan Qing Qing had only just met up in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm before he suddenly had to leave. Therefore, she was unaware that he had eliminated Tan Yuan and Mo Ping Zhi and was clueless about his current rank.
‘I have six more days to raise my ranking in the middle realm…’ Wan Qing Qing thought to herself excitedly. She could not wait to meet Duan Ling Tian in the middle realm again. She wondered how many points she would be able to gain and how high she would rise on the scoreboard with Duan Ling Tian’s help.
At this moment, she seemed to recall something and hastily sent a message to Heng Feng. “Senior Heng Feng, did you tell anyone that I’m working together with Duan Ling Tian?”
Apart from Heng Feng who knew there was a possibility she would work with Duan Ling Tian, no one from the Martial Battle Mansion knew anything about this matter at all. After all, before Heng Feng shattered his Accumulative Point Jade, Heng Feng had heard Duan Ling Tian inviting her to join forces with him. Moreover, Heng Feng had also persuaded her to join forces with Duan Ling Tian before he left.
“Junior Sister Qing, does this mean you ended up joining forces with Duan Ling Tian?” A hint of surprise could be heard in Heng Feng’s reply. “Since you’re able to send me a message, does this mean you’re out of the middle realm?”
Since one could not send messages out of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, Heng Feng knew Wan Qing Qing had left the middle realm. He asked, “Were you eliminated?”
“No, I left the middle realm,” Wan Qing Qing replied.
“You agreed to work with Duan Ling Tian, right? It’s highly unlikely for him to be able to locate the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base on his own. I remember both of us running into the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base previously…” Heng Feng replied through Voice Transmission.
Four days ago, when Heng Feng and Wan Qing Qing entered the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, they accidentally discovered the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base. Therefore, it was not difficult for him to figure out that Wan Qing Qing had joined forces with Duan Ling Tian and had led him to the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base.
“Yes,” Wan Qing Qing replied honestly. There was no need for her to lie after all.
Heng Feng asked solemnly, “You didn’t reveal the location of our base, did you?”
“Of course! I’ll never reveal something like that to him,” Wan Qing Qing said.
“That’s great. It’s best that no one knows about you joining forces with Duan Ling Tian. At the very least, you can’t let people know you’ve already joined forces with him before he went to the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base. Otherwise, the Fire Glaze Mansion might seek revenge from you,” Heng Feng reminded her.
“I know. That’s why I hid myself when he went to the Fire Glaze Mansion’s base,” Wan Qing Qing said.
“That’s good. Rest assured, your secret is safe with me,” Heng Feng added.
“Thank you, Senior Heng Feng.” Wan Qing Qing promptly expressed her gratitude. She knew Heng Feng was trustworthy. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to work with him at all.
In the Profound Nether Mansion’s base.
Duan Ling Tian’s sudden appearance, naturally, caught a group of disciples’ attention. With his achievement, he had become the pride and treasure of the Profound Nether Mansion.
“Duan Ling Tian?”
Before the disciples regained their senses, Duan Ling Tian had already teleported out of the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
“Why did he leave?”
“It seems like he’s in a hurry. Something must have happened!”
Similarly, when Duan Ling Tian arrived at one of the sites of the Transporting Formations in the Profound Nether Mansion’s estate, he caught everyone’s attention again.
“It’s Duan Ling Tian!”
