War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Although Han Xue Nai was already mentally prepared for it, she was still bewildered when she received confirmation from her Brother Ling Tian.

Based on his words, it seemed like he was the one who had personally made a move?

How could she not be baffled over this?

“Brother Ling Tian, your strength…” Han Xue Nai looked at Duan Ling Tian, slightly stunned. Her face was filled with confusion and disbelief.

Everyone else might not know Duan Ling Tian, but she was very familiar with him. Although his innate talent was not too bad, her intuition was telling her it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to kill Xu Jing.

Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, was at the Early Refined Saint Stage a year ago.

After a year, it was unlikely he did not break through to the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage with the great resources and nurturing from the Rising Sky Mansion.

However, her Brother Ling Tian had actually killed Xu Jing?

Then, did this mean her Brother Ling Tian possessed strength at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage or above?

“My cultivation base is only at the Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage… However, due to how extraordinary my True Origin is, I can fight with opponents who are a stage higher than I am,” Duan Ling Tian said.

Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage?

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Han Xue Nai sighed in relief. Compared to the cultivation base at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage or above, this was still acceptable.

However, when she regained her senses she recalled the latter part of Duan Ling Tian’s words. She could not help but exclaim in surprise, “Y-you can fight opponents who are a stage higher than you?”

At this moment, Han Xue Nai looked at Duan Ling Tian as though she had seen a ghost.

Was there such a True Origin in this world?

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian smiled as he nodded. “If it’s not because of this, I wouldn’t have been Xu Jing’s match at all. However, Xue Nai, you’re the only one that knows about this matter. I told Uncle Han that I asked a friend of mine from a quasi third-rate force to kill him, and my friend’s name is Li Feng.”

“If father knows you’re the one who personally made a move, he would be greatly shocked, Brother Ling Tian.” After learning that Xu Jing was dead, the black clouds hanging above Han Xue Nai had disappeared, and she seemed to have returned to the former mischievous Han Xue Nai.

Duan Ling Tian was happy when he saw this. This was the ending he had wanted.

Naturally, it was still too early to use the word ‘ending’.

‘It’s impossible for Xu Jing to recover without taking at least two to three year. It shouldn’t be a problem for me to head to the quasi third-rate force, the Mystical Sky Mansion,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

It was because he had learned about the Mystical Sky Mansion recruiting Saint Stage geniuses below the age of forty in a year’s time that he decided to stand Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang up and return to the Greenwave Han Mansion first.

Apart from the fact that the Mystical Sky Mansion was the best springboard for him, he was also curious about the Saint Martial Secret Zone that the Mystical Sky Mansion would open in a year’s time.

Although he had already planned to go to the Mystical Sky Mansion, he was not in a rush to leave at all.

“I’ll wait for a month, and if nobody from the Rising Sky Mansion comes, I’ll return to the Windfall Nation to visit Senior Brother, Uncle Feng, and the others… At that time, I left without even saying goodbye to Tian Wu, I wonder if she’s upset about it,” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself with a wry smile on his face.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian thought about Feng Tian Wu with a wry smile, Han Xue Nai seemed to have recalled something, and she quickly said, “Oh, Brother Ling Tian! Not long after you left, Sister Tian Wu came here to look for you.”

“Tian Wu? She came here to look for me?” Duan Ling Tian was taken aback when he heard this.

“Yes.” Han Xue Nai nodded. “Originally, I wanted Sister Tian Wu to stay in the Greenwave Han Mansion to wait for your return, but she left without waiting for long since I wasn’t even sure if you’ll return or not.” When she reached the end of her sentence, she felt a little awkward.

“Tian Wu actually came to the Greenwave Han Mansion to look for me?” Duan Ling Tian was in a daze for a long time. His heart was moved. “Since Tian Wu has left the Drift Blaze Sect, her cultivation base must have already broken through to the Pristine Saint Stage as well… I wonder where did she go after leaving the Greenwave Han Mansion. It’s fine, by the time I arrive at the quasi third-rate force, Mystical Sky Mansion, and make a name for Li Feng, I’m sure Tian Wu will be able to guess that it’s me.”

Although it was only the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, it was still extremely vast. Due to this reason, it would be impossible for Duan Ling Tian to search for Feng Tian Wu without any clues. It would be akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.

Although Feng Tian Wu had left the Windfall Nation of the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion’s district, he did not dismiss the plan of returning since there were many people he missed there.

Apart from his seniors, there were his senior brother and friends as well.

Naturally, it was not that Duan Ling Tian did not think about bringing Bai Li Hong, Feng Wu Dao, and the others to the Greenwave Mansion. However, doing so would announce to everyone that he had a connection with the Greenwave Han Mansion.

Currently, the name Duan Ling Tian had spread in the entire Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. In the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, apart from some people who were ignorant of the state of affairs or were out of touch with the outside world, almost everyone knew about Duan Ling Tian.

Perhaps, most people did not care about how high Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent and strength was, but they definitely cared about the Devilseal Tablet in his possession. It was something everyone in the Dao Martial Saint Land coveted.

The Devilseal Tablet was one of the famous ten great Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking. Even people from quasi third-rate forces would covet it.

Due to this reason, it was not convenient for Duan Ling Tian to reveal his identity before he reached a certain level of strength.

For the foreseeable future, he would go by the name Ling Tian. That was his name in his past life.

It was not hard for Duan Ling Tian to imagine the Windfall Nation must be targeted by many people, and his good friends were definitely the first to be targeted.

If he brought them over to the Greenwave Han Mansion now, it would definitely implicate it. This was not something he was willing to see.

Due to this reason, he thought leaving them in the Windfall Nation was undoubtedly the best option.

Duan Ling Tian bade goodbye to Han Xue Nai, and he also asked her to help him bid goodbye to Han Zheng Tian, the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion, before he left as she looked on reluctantly.

As for Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold, they were still in the closed-door cultivation so Duan Ling Tian did not manage to meet them.

After leaving the Greenwave Han Mansion, he headed straight for the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion’s district.

While Duan Ling Tian was traveling back to the Windfall Nation, in the faraway Rising Sky Mansion’s district, in the fourth-rate force Rising Sky Mansion, a mighty commotion had erupted.

After the Rising Sky Ranking Battle had ended, Xu Cen, the Grand Elder of the Rising Sky Mansion, was not in a rush to bring his men back to the Rising Sky Mansion. Instead, he went to visit the Vice Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion in a nearby town. After that, both of them brought their men and searched inch by inch in all directions around the Nimble Valley for Li Feng, Duan Ling Tian’s fake persona.

Moreover, the Vice Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion who excelled in concealing himself even boldly tailed Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang after the Rising Sky Ranking Battle had ended all the way to the mountain range 100 meters to the west of Nimble Valley.

He noticed Ren Zhong and Liu Hong Guang’s expression had turned extremely grave when they arrived at the mountain range.

Although he was standing in the distance, he still heard the discussion between the people from the Sky Hurdle Mansion and the Raging Wave Mansion.

They were all rebuking Li Feng for standing them up.

When they saw the people from Sky Hurdle Mansion and Raging Mansion left in a rage, the Vice Mansion Master and Grand Elder of Rising Sky Mansion reunited again and continued their search.

Although they had searched for many days, they could not find any traces of Li Feng at all.

At this point, Xu Cen could only bring his men and return to the Rising Sky Mansion’s estate with his tail tucked between his legs. He knew what awaited him would be the flame of wrath from the high-ranking officials of the Rising Sky Mansion.

It was still not too bad if the Rising Sky Mansion’s three disciples, including his grandson, had died. His grandson was the most outstanding one among the three of them, and his death would impact the Rising Sky Mansion greatly. However, the high-ranking officials would not blame him but console him instead.

Alas, it was not just his grandson and the other two disciples who had died. There was another person who had died as well.

That person was very important in the Rising Sky Mansion. Apart from being the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, based on the strength Xu Jing displayed during the Rising Sky Ranking Battle, it was more than enough to prove how monstrously high his innate talent was. If he was given the time to grow stronger, he would definitely become the backbone of the Rising Sky Mansion. It was not even impossible for him to lead the Rising Sky Mansion to become a quasi third-rate force.

‘Currently, Lord Mansion Master must have already learned about the Young Mansion Master’s death.’ When Xu Cen thought about this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Although he had nothing to do with this matter, as the leader of the trip this time, it would be difficult for him to shirk the responsibility for not protecting his junior well enough.

He might not be sentenced to death, but he might be punished to face the wall for many years.

Due to this reason, he was filled with anxiety when he walked into the Rising Sky Mansion’s estate. His eyes kept darting everywhere.

At the side, a hunchback young man was carrying a body that seemed to belong to Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.

Suddenly, as though he had noticed something, Xu Cen came to a halt. “Huh?”

As he looked over in that direction, he saw a group of people being led by the Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion walking in the air toward him in a menacing manner.

This instantly caused guilt to rise up in his heart.

However, what happened next stunned him.

“Grand Elder, my condolences to you!”

“Grand Elder, condolences!”

After the group of high-ranking officials of the Rising Sky Mansion appeared in front of Xu Cen, with the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion at the lead, all of them sent their condolences to the Grand Elder. It was obvious they had already learned about the death of his grandson, Xu Can.

Xu Can’s Soul Pearl was in the Rising Sky Mansion’s estate after all. Due to this reason, when Xu Can’s Soul Pearl shattered, the people in the Rising Sky Mansion immediately learned about his death.

“It’s indeed true that God is jealous of geniuses! If nothing had happened to Xu Can, he would’ve stood a chance in becoming the Young Mansion Master. In fact, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to become the next Mansion Master as well.” Many Rising Sky Mansion’s high-ranking officials sighed emotionally.

“All of you…” When Xu Cen saw the people in front of him, including the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, only speaking about his grandson and not a word about Xu Jing, he was greatly taken aback. At the same time, he felt like something was amiss.

Although his grandson’s innate talent was not inferior to Xu Jing previously, his position was far from being comparable to Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.
