War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

New after news that spread like wildfire in Sin City managed to temporarily distract the people from the fact that the Devils clans had probably invaded the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. At this moment, people were more curious if Duan Ling Tian had reclaimed the Devilseal Tablet that Xie Zong had forcefully taken away from him back then. If Xie Zong carried the Devilseal Tablet with him, then it was likely Duan Ling Tian had regained ownership of the Devilseal Tablet. If Xie Zong did not have it, it had to be in the possession of the Golden Lion King, one of the Four Great Karmapas of the Black Kshetra Sect. Since Xie Kang Xun was Xie Zong’s father, it was possible that Xie Zong had handed the Devilseal Tablet to his father.

While everyone was still discussing where the Devilseal Tablet was, another piece of shocking news began to spread in Sin City again.

“Xie Zong had the Devilseal Tablet with him?”

“Moreover, the sword Duan Ling Tian used to kill Xie Zong is also one of the Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking, the Traceless Sword?”

“This means Duan Ling Tian possesses two Super Saint Weapons!”

News about Duan Ling Tian possessing two Super Saint Weapons spread immediately and caused an uproar in Sin City.

In the entire Dao Martial Saint Land, there were only ten Super Saint Weapons. Currently, there was a person who owned two out of ten Super Saint Weapons. Any normal person would feel jealous!

“Why? Why?”

“Is Duan Ling Tian that talented that he owns two Super Saint Weapons? I refuse to accept this!”

“I want to kill Duan Ling Tian and take the two Super Saint Weapons from him. I’ll definitely do it if he’s in front of me right now!”

“Me too.”

Many similar remarks were heard in Sin City.

There was a person who owned two Super Saint Weapons. Put aside the ordinary people in Sin City, even the sectless cultivators at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or higher were tempted and felt envious.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

One after another, a swift and violent sound slicing through the wind was heard. Five rapidly moving figures flew out from various places in Sin City. Their speed was so fast that most of the sectless cultivators in Sin City could barely catch their movements. All five figures were heading in the same direction. They were all making their way to the temporary residence of Xie Kang Xun, the Golden Lion King. The Black Kshetra had a mansion in Sin City.

“Golden Lion King!”

“Old man Xie!”

“Great Karmapas Xie!”

The five figures arrived above the mansion at about the same time. Once they arrived, they looked at each other before they began to call for Xie Kang Xun without even greeting each other first.

They hovered in the air as they looked down on the mansion below them. It was obvious the person they were looking for was inside the mansion.

Among the five people, there was an old man, an old lady, a middle-aged man, a young man, and a beautiful woman. They were all calling for the Golden Lion King, one of the Four Great Karmapas of the Black Kshetra Sect!

Xie Kang Xun, the Golden Lion King, stepped out of his mansion and flew into the air in just a blink of an eye after they stopped calling out for him. He looked at them and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Xie Kang Xun did not dare to act arrogantly when faced with the five of them. He had spoken politely to them. After all, these five people were powerhouses at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or higher! Naturally, there were more than five powerhouses at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in Sin City. However, only five of them came when they heard the rumors of Duan Ling Tian owning two Super Saint Weapons. They knew without a doubt that the news were spread by the Golden Lion King, one of the Four Great Karmapas in the Black Kshetra Sect! This was the reason they had come here.

The middle-aged man snorted before he said with a frown, “Humph! Old man Xie, stop pretending! You know why we’re here.”

The other four people turned to look at Xie Kang Xun, the Golden Lion King, in unison. Their eyes were gleaming brightly.

“Everyone! I give you my word that the Devilseal Tablet was with my son, Xie Zong. As for the Traceless Sword, I’m not 100% sure. After all, I’ve only heard of it. I’ve not seen it before.”

Xie Kang Xun knew there was no point in hiding anything so he said without beating around the bush, “However, through the mirror image, I saw the scene of Duan Ling Tian murdering my son, Xie Zong. At that time, my son had taken out the Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman to kill Duan Ling Tian.” As he reached the end of his sentence, his voice turned lower.

“The Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman? Old Man Xie, you really love your son to have given him a Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman!” The middle-aged man said in surprise as he raised an eyebrow.

“He’s my only son. Naturally, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him,” Xie Kang Xun said with conviction. When he spoke, his voice was low and his expression was extremely dark as though he was about to erupt in anger.

His only son had died! When Xie Kang Xun thought about it, the anger in him boiled so much that it made his body trembled slightly. He looked similar to an enraged lion. His white hair had a tinge of gold in it, making him look like his title, ‘The Golden Lion King’. That was how he had gotten his title.

“Just as my son prepared to kill Duan Ling Tian with the Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman, Duan Ling Tian made a move. Duan Ling Tian used some mysterious swordplay technique and killed my son! From the beginning until the end, not only did my son not have time to activate the Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman, but he didn’t even have time to react at all. The sword’s extremely fast that it’s almost untraceable. The Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword is like scrap metal compared to it,” Xie Kang Xun said confidently.

When Xie Kang Xun finished speaking, the young man could not help but exclaim in a low voice, “Traceless attacks!” His eyes were as bright as stars as he said, “Based on your words, Great Karmapa Xie, the sword Duan Ling Tian used has to be the Traceless Sword!”

The other four people also nodded in assent.

“Thank you, Great Karmapa Xie!” The young man thanked Xie Kang Xun and left like a gust of wind.

Soon after, the other four followed suit and left as well. They came and left as quickly like a gust of wind.

At this moment, Xie Kang Xun was the only one left in the sky overlooking the huge mansion.

“Duan Ling Tian, since you possess two Super Saint Weapons. I’m going to make you the public’s enemy!” Xie Kang Xun sneered. “I want to see if you’re going to give up the two Super Saint Weapons. If you don’t, you’ll have the entire Upper Province coming after you!”

Humans were greedy by nature. Once news spread about Duan Ling Tian owning two Super Saint Weapons, everyone would definitely try to take it away from him. Duan Ling Tian would be the target for everyone in the Upper Province.

As the saying went, ‘Sometimes wealth would bring calamity!’

As news of this spread, it seemed like everyone’s latest hobby was to search for Duan Ling Tian. Naturally, they were all looking to get their hands on the two Super Saint Weapon in his possession.

“The Golden Lion King is really ruthless. It’s going to be hard for me to survive in the Upper Province!” A month had passed when Duan Ling Tian learned about what had been going on.

Currently, his cultivation base had successfully risen to the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage. However, his joy was short-lived when he learned about the various news that had been circulating.

‘Unless I’m willing to give up the Devilseal Tablet, I’ll be everyone’s target until I become strong enough to hold on to the Devilseal Tablet!’ Duan Ling Tian was aware of the situation he was in. That was why he said the Golden Lion King was ruthless. ‘Apart from that, everyone knows now that I’m the second strongest prodigy in the Fire Worship Sect and the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province! I’m afraid it won’t be long before news of me being the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion spreads to the Fire Worship Sect! It seems like there’s no way for me to return to the Fire Worship Sect until I’m strong enough to rescue Ke’er and our daughter. If I return now, I’ll become everyone’s target!’

The Super Saint Weapons were huge temptations. Even the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect would covet it! Rumors had spread that Duan Ling Tian possessed the Devilseal Tablet and the Traceless Sword, it would undoubtedly cause trouble for him.

‘That Golden Lion King must have thought my Jasper Celestial Sword is the Traceless Sword. It’s easy to deal with the matter regarding the Traceless Sword since I can swear on the lightning penalty oath. At that time, people would have no choice but to believe it. However, I do possess the Devilseal Tablet. It’s impossible for me to swear on the lightning penalty oath!’

If Duan Ling Tian returned to the Fire Worship Sect just like that, there would be a lot of high-ranking officials in the sect who would plot against him for the supposed two Super Saint Weapons in his possession.
