War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Inside the Seven Treasures Pagoda.

Elder Huo smiled bitterly as he asked the young man dressed in a red robe, “Lord, don’t you want to greet him?”

Earlier, when Duan Ling Tian was facing the Sect Leader of Fire Worship, the young man dressed in a red robe was the one who ordered Elder Huo to trick Duan Ling Tian into placing the Jasper Celestial Sword and the Universe Ruler back in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Apart from that, the young man dressed in a red robe was also the one who ordered Elder Huo to tell Duan Ling Tian that he was going to send him back to the Lower Province.

The red-clad young man was the one who fended off the attacks from the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect and sent Duan Ling Tian back to the Lower Province. He had forcibly severed the bond between Duan Ling Tian and Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian was no longer the master of the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, he had lost the pagoda.

Elder Huo knew Duan Ling Tian would be in distress when he returned to the Lower Province of Dao Martial Saint Land and discovered the bond between him and the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had been severed. For this reason, he had asked the red-clad young man if he planned on greeting Duan Ling Tian.

The red-clad young man was none other than Kuang Ling, the sword soul of the Devata Artifact, the Solitary Destructive Flaming Heavenly Sword!

“I have my own plans,” Sword Soul Kuang Ling replied to Elder Huo coldly. Then, he rose up into the air before disappearing in just a flash.

After flying for an indefinite amount of time and distance, Kuang Ling suddenly came to a halt.

In the next moment…

Shreekk!

Kuang Ling pointed to an empty space before a streak of blood-red sword qi shot out of his finger and tore an opening in the void. The tear was ten meters in length and looked breath-taking.

As soon as the tear appeared, Kuang Ling took the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and swiftly entered the tear in the void.

As soon as Kuang Ling entered the tear, it began to shrink rapidly. In just a blink of an eye, the tear in the void disappeared without a trace. The surroundings turned tranquil once more.

In a good distance away from the east side of the Fire Worship Sect’s estate.

A group of high-ranking officials from Fire Worship Sect was making their way back to the sect. These high ranking officials were led by the two Vice Sect Leaders of Fire Worship Sect. They consisted of Golden Flame Elders and the Vice Hall Masters of the Enforcement Hall.

“After searching for so long, we couldn’t even see the shadow of the Super Saint Weapon, the Dharma Rod… Do you think one of the Guardians has found the Dharma Rod?” One of the Golden Flame Elders from the Fire Worship Sect suddenly said.

“That’s possible! After all, the Guardians’ speed is faster than all of us. We didn’t encounter any of them during our search… It’s very likely that one of them has already found the Super Saint Weapon, the Dharma Rod.” Another Golden Flame Elder nodded in assent.

“If the Guardians have found the Super Saint Weapon, the Dharma Rod, they should inform us about it. We look like fools searching with all our might for something that has been found!” A Golden Flame Elder muttered, displeased.

Many people around the Golden Flame Elders, including the two Vice Sect Leaders, agreed with his words.

As they entered the White Tiger Sanctum in the Fire Worship Estate, one of the Vice Hall Masters of the Enforcement Hall said, “I wonder which Guardian managed to obtain the Dharma Rod…”

Many high-ranking officials from Fire Worship Sect began to discuss among themselves when they heard the Vice Hall Master’s words.

“My guess is Guardian Zi Feng has found the Dharma Rod!”

“I agree! After all, among the five Guardians, Guardian Zi Feng is the strongest after Guardian Ling Tian. It’s very likely that he’s the one who found the Dharma Rod!”

“I don’t think it’s Guardian Zi Feng… Everyone makes mistakes once in a while. Although Guardian Zi Feng is the strongest and the fastest, it doesn’t mean he’ll definitely find the Dharma Rod!”

“What you said makes sense…”

Did one of the Guardians find the Super Saint Weapon, the Dharma Rod? The answer was, naturally, no.

The four Guardians of Fire Worship Sect had flown to where the Super Saint Weapon, the Dharma Rod, and Hao Shuang’s arm had fallen. They had thoroughly searched the area and they even widened the perimeter of their search. However, they still failed to find anything.

After searching for a long time, the Guardians began to suspect that Hao Shuang had returned and took away the Super Saint Weapon, the Dharma Rod.

The Guardians decided to return to the Fire Worship Sect after their fruitless search. When they were passing through the White Tiger Sanctum, they overheard the discussion of the disciples in White Tiger Sanctum about the recent Great War of Saint Land.

“Great War of Saint Land?” For a moment, the Guardians thought Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, and Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, had brought their fight back to the Saint Land in the Fire Worship Sect. Then, they quickly made their way to the Saint Land.

When the Guardians arrived in the Saint Land, they realized something big had happened on the Saint Islands that were located in the sky. They quickly rose into the air and flew through the clouds and fog to a place near their cultivation places.

The four Guardians were dumbfounded when their eyes landed on the floating island that was located at the highest point. “This…”

The cultivation place and mansion of the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect were in ruins! Moreover, their Sect Leader was standing motionlessly in the air.

A silver figure came forward and greeted the Guardians. “Greetings, four Guardians.” This person was a Silver Flame Elder who was on patrol duty today.

“This… what happened?” Guardian Leng Ying asked the Silver Flame Elder with a puzzled expression on his face.

At this time, the four Guardians knew that the state of Tang Xuan’s cultivation place had nothing to do with the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect. They knew if the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect and the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect had fought here, the damage would not be limited to just a partially ruined mansion. After all, a fight between two powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage could obliterate the entire floating island.

“I don’t know what happened exactly, but…” The Silver Flame Elder said with a wry smile, “Not long after Guardian Ling Tian returned, there was a huge commotion here. When I rushed over, it was already in this state. Lord Sect Leader has been standing there for quite a while now.” He turned to look at Tang Xuan who was hovering above the floating island.

“Guardian Ling Tian?” The four Guardians of Fire Worship Sect frowned when they heard the Silver Flame Elder’s words.

After the Silver Flame Elder left, they made their way to Tang Xuan.

“Lord Sect Leader, this…what happened?” The arrival of the four Guardians of Fire Worship Sect brought Tang Xuan out of his reverie. His tense body instantly relaxed.

Earlier, Tang Xuan was under extreme stress when he realized there might be a powerhouse stronger than any powerhouses in the mundane realm. He became extremely cautious, and he did not dare to act recklessly. That was why he was standing motionlessly for so long. He only let down his guards when the four Guardians of Fire Worship Sect appeared. He concluded that the powerhouse had already left a while ago.

“It’s nothing.” Tang Xuan shook his head.

The Guardians looked at Tang Xuan skeptically when they heard his words.

It was not Tang Xuan’s intention to hide the truth, but he really did not know where to begin. After all, if one did not personally witness it, it would be difficult for one to believe that a powerhouse with such strength really existed.

“Did all of you just return?” Tang Xuan noticed the Guardians seemed exhausted, and they were covered in dust as though they had just returned from a long journey.

“Yes,” Guardian Hong Yun nodded before she said wryly, “We went to look for the Super Saint Weapon, the Dharma Rod… That’s why it took us so long to return.”

Tang Xuan’s eyes brightened when he heard Hong Yun’s words. “The Super Saint Weapon, the Dharma Rod? The Dharma Rod appeared? Where did you get this information from?”

“The Dharma Rod is in Hao Shuang’s possession now…”

The four Guardians instantly recounted what had happened after Tang Xuan had left. They told him how the Black Kshetra Sect had cooperated with Hao Shuang and how Duan Ling Tian defeated Hao Shuang.

Tang Xuan was shocked when he learned about what happened. It took him a while before he regained his senses. “He… really defeated Hao Shuang with just one strike?”

Tang Xuan’s expression turned solemn when the four Guardians confirmed this. If it was not because of the god-like powerhouse, Duan Ling Tian, the strongest person under the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, would be one of the pillars of Fire Worship Sect. The Fire Worship Sect would become stronger if they had such a powerful Guardian like Duan Ling Tian.

Tang Xuan sighed when he thought about Duan Ling Tian’s disappearance and how he had been whisked away by a mysterious powerhouse. It was such an irony. “Fate is playing tricks on people…”

“Lord Sect Leader?”

The four Guardians were confused when they saw Tang Xuan’s reaction.

“Guardian Ling Tian is the man the Saint Girl has a relationship with… He’s the father of the Saint Girl’s daughter!” Tang Xuan said in a deep voice.

The four Guardians of Fire Worship Sect were shocked when they heard this shocking revelation. They had an incredulous expression on their faces.

As it turned out, Guardian Ling Tian was the man from the Lower Province whom the Saint Girl had a relationship with? He was the one they had been looking for all this time?

“This…This…”
