Chapter 4101: Duan Ling Tian’s Trap
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the Profound Energy Land’s Myriad Laws Academy.
After Lang Chun Yuan left, Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes. His eyes shone coldly as he said through gritted teeth, “Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.”
Although the black-clad man claimed he was seeking revenge from Duan Ling Tian because Duan Ling Tian killed his descendants, he naturally did not believe the black-clad man. Moreover, it was unreasonable for someone to destroy an entire mundane realm just for the sake of revenge.
“The Saint Province Realm is… truly gone…”
Duan Ling Tian had sent his doppelganger to have a look and discovered that the Saint Province Realm was gone. It was as though it had never existed in the first place.
‘This matter isn’t over…’
After taking a deep breath, Duan Ling Tian left the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm without notifying Lang Chun Yuan. Although he promised Yang Yu Chen to stay in the independent realm, he could no longer wait at this moment.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian left, he sent a message to Yang Yu Chen. “Third Senior Brother.”
“Junior brother?” Yang Yu Chen was surprised when he received Duan Ling Tian’s message. He asked with a smile, “What’s the matter? It’s only been half a year, but you can’t endure it anymore? Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you’ll be able to enter the Supreme Powerhouse Relic within five months.”
Yang Yu Chen thought Duan Ling Tian was in a hurry to enter the Supreme Powerhouse Relic.
“Third Senior Brother, I need your help,” Duan Ling Tian said bluntly.
“What’s wrong?” Yang Yu Chen asked curiously.
Duan Ling Tian quickly explained the situation before he said, “Third Senior Brother, can you send your doppelgangers to kill the Emperors of Gods from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation?”
Yang Yu Chen was not a native of the Realms of Gods so he could exert his full power in the lower realms. Moreover, he was an intermediate Supreme God. Just his doppelganger alone was enough to kill the Emperors of Gods from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.
“Are you sure they’re from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation?” Yang Yu Chen asked grimly.
Duan Ling Tian could naturally sense the subtle change in Yang Yu Chen’s voice. Yang Yu Chen was usually gentle when he spoke, but it was not the case now.
“There’s no one else except for them,” Duan Ling Tian said confidently, “Third Senior Brother, perhaps, you’ll be able to confirm it further if you make a move. I can’t sense much due to my low cultivation base. However, based on my opinion, that Emperor of Gods I met was just a doppelganger.”
Duan Ling Tian was filled with frustration as he spoke. Due to his low cultivation base, he could not even discern if his opponent was a doppelganger or not. Not only that, but his and Feng Qing Yang’s doppelgangers were destroyed with just a strike.
Yang Yu Chen said coldly, “I might be able to find some clues there. If it really leads back to the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, I’ll make sure they give us an explanation.” Then, his tone softened as he continued to say, “Junior brother, I understand your feelings. However, you need to focus on getting stronger now. I’ll let you enter the Supreme Powerhouse Relic in five months. Based on your innate talent, you should be able to benefit greatly from it. It’s impossible for you to do anything now if you’re not strong enough.”
“I know,” Duan Ling Tian said, “Third Senior Brother, my doppelganger will be waiting for you 10,000 miles south of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. I’ll return to the Inner Palace faction now.”
After saying that, Duan Ling Tian executed the hand gestures to enter the independent realm.
…
At the same time, in another place in the Myriad Laws Academy.
A doppelganger emerged from Yang Yu Chen’s body.
“If the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation is behind this, they’ll have to pay for this,” Yang Yu Chen said coldly. Then, he brought a Destruction Divine Shuttle out and left for the Devata Realm through a spatial tear.
…
10,000 miles south of the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.
Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger hovered above a mountain, waiting for Yang Yu Chen’s doppelganger.
It did not take long before Yang Yu Chen’s doppelganger arrived.
“Junior brother, what do you plan to do next?” Yang Yu Chen asked.
“I want to rebuild the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven,” Duan Ling Tian said.
Before Yang Yu Chen arrived, Duan Ling Tian had told Elder Huo and Meng Luo to rebuild the Heavenly Palace. With Yang Yu Chen’s presence, their safety was guaranteed.
“Alright,” Yang Yu Chen nodded. He was aware that Duan Ling Tian was setting up a trap.
…
Soon after, Elder Huo, Meng Luo, and the other elders returned to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven to rebuild it while Yang Yu Chen watched over them secretly.
In just two months, they completed the reconstruction of the Heavenly Palace.
Over the past two months, no one came to look for trouble at all.
In a spacious courtyard in the Heavenly Palace.
“The culprit isn’t stupid,” Yang Yu Chen said to Duan Ling Tian, who was sitting across from him, as he shook his head, “They might not show up even if they know the Heavenly Palace has been rebuilt.”
Duan Ling Tian said gloomily, “I should’ve asked you to send your doppelganger here earlier if I knew better.”
“No one can predict the future,” Yang Yu Chen said as he shook his head, “Moreover, you were likely reluctant to owe me a favor in the past. It’s only after the disaster that your anger drove you to ask me for help.”
Yang Yu Chen’s analysis was very accurate, causing Duan Ling Tian to fall silent.
Yang Yu Chen smiled faintly and continued to say, “Don’t worry. I’ll leave my doppelganger here for now. If those people dare to show up, I’ll make sure they die. Alas, I really don’t think they’ll show up again, at least not anytime soon.”
Duan Ling Tian felt depressed upon hearing these words. He knew Yang Yu Chen was right; the culprits would not fall for such an obvious trap.
After a moment, Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “However, even if they don’t personally make a move, they might try to test the water by hiring someone with no connections to the congregation….”
Yang Yu Chen looked at Duan Ling Tian with a hint of admiration. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to remain so level-headed under these circumstances. After a moment, he said, “I still think we can’t say for sure the culprit is the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. It’s too risky for them, and it’ll cost them a fortune. It’s expensive to hire an advanced Emperor of Gods to do such a thing. After all, who isn’t afraid of death? By doing this, they risk angering the Myriad Laws Academy. Moreover, you’re my junior brother.”
…
In the Profound Energy Land’s Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.
In a spacious hall.
A middle-aged man said respectfully to an old man, “Vice Leader, Duan Ling Tian brought his men back and rebuilt the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. It seems like they’re not hiding their return at all. I suspect this is a trap so I stopped our men from making a move and told them to return to the congregation.”
“Very good,” the old man said, “If I’m not mistaken, Duan Ling Tian must have help for him to act so boldly. It’s likely that Yang Yu Chen’s doppelganger is there now.” His eyes flashed with fear as he continued to say, “Yang Yu Chen is no pushover. If the doppelganger he sent is from his strongest law, then his doppelganger is capable of killing a rudimentary Supreme God. Don’t act without my orders. As long as we don’t leave any clues behind, Yang Yu Chen won’t be able to do anything to us. Otherwise, if he traces this matter back to me, I’m afraid I’ll be in deep trouble as well…”
The man inhaled sharply upon hearing these words. He asked, “Vice Leader, how can the matter be so serious? With your current status, how can Yang Yu Chen be a threat to you even if he’s extremely strong?”
The old man scoffed. “Naturally, Yang Yu Chen alone won’t be enough to threaten me. However, if that old man from the academy intervenes, with sufficient evidence, the congregation won’t hesitate to sacrifice me and hand me over to them! So let’s lay low for the time being. Duan Ling Tian must be furious and helpless now. Serves him right for refusing to join our Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation and offending our Holy Son!”
