War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

”Leader Xue, you’re being too courteous…” Ji Yu Nian shook his head and smiled. ”Little Gold is best friends with Little Black and Little White; it’s only natural that the dragon clan will take good care of her. Do you plan to leave now or do you plan to stay here for a while?”

As the Grand Elder of the dragon clan, Ji Yu Nian, naturally, knew Blood Moon Ridge had made many heaven-grade forces in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven their enemies. Blood Moon Ridge might not have a problem dealing with one or two heaven-grade forces, but what if all these heaven-grade forces worked together? The appearance of a Nine Depths God Killing Mouse that threatened these forces’ survival would definitely motivate them to work together. If he were in their shoes, he would do whatever it took as well to kill Little Gold to ensure the survival of his clan.

”We’ll return at once,” Xue Yun Tian replied. It was best for him to bring Little Gold back to Blood Moon Ridge as soon as possible.

”How many people did you bring with you?” Ji Yu Nian asked.

”I brought our two Guardians, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder,” Xue Yun Tian replied.

Ji Yu Nian nodded..

At this moment, Little White’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. ”Brother Ling Tian, the Leader is the strongest in Blood Moon Ridge followed by the two Guardians, the Grand Elder, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder… It seems like apart from the Grand Elder, the Leader spared no effort and brought all the elites from Blood Moon Ridge here…”

Duan Ling Tian could tell Xue Yun Tian truly prioritized Little Gold’s safety based on the people he brought to the dragon clan. After a while, he asked curiously through Voice Transmission, ”Since he brought so many experts with him, does this mean Blood Moon Ridge’s enemies are all very formidable?”

Little White explained, ”Ordinary forces aside, the Blood Moon Ridge has enmity with some of the top heaven-grade forces in the Ten Thousand Beast Heaven. Then, there are also the heaven-grade forces like the Heavenly Ape Clan, the Water Phoenix Clan, and the Roc Clan that have strength almost on par with Blood Moon Ridge. All these forces will definitely spare no effort in killing Little Gold when they find out she’s the Nine Depths God Killing Mouse. If the founder of Blood Moon Ridge did not leave for a Realm of Gods, the current Heavenly Emperor of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven would be a match for him. With such strength, you can imagine how afraid they are of Little Gold growing into her powers… Therefore, they won’t let her live no matter what...”

”Aren’t they afraid the founder of Blood Moon Ridge would seek revenge from them for killing a Nine Depths God Killing Mouse from Blood Moon Ridge?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

”Of course not.” Little White shook his head. ”There’s no guarantee the founder will return to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Most importantly, even if he returns, he won’t be allowed to intervene due to the rules. If he intervenes, the powerhouses from the other forces might return from the Realms of Gods as well. It’d be a vicious cycle of revenge at that time.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded, enlightened. After Little Gold introduced him to Xue Yun Tian, he said, ”Senior…”

Since Duan Ling Tian had helped Little Gold, Xue Yun Tian naturally did not put on air in front of Duan Ling Tian. ”What is it?”

Duan Ling Tian asked without beating around the bush, ”Senior, are you confident about bringing Little Gold back to Blood Moon Ridge safely?”

Xue Yun Tian was slightly taken aback by Duan Ling Tian’s question. After a moment, he shook his head. ”I can’t say I’m 100% confident. After all, we don’t know how many people those forces will send or if they’ve joined forces to kill Little Gold…”

”So it’s not guaranteed that Little Gold will make it back to Blood Moon Ridge safely?” Duan Ling Tian frowned slightly.

”I’m 90% confident about our chances…” Xue Yun Tian said with a sigh.

”90%?” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and solemnly said, ”Senior, if you’re not 100% confident, I’d rather Little Gold not leave. She’s like my younger sister, and I don’t want to take any chances with her life.”

”I understand your concerns,” Xue Yun Tian said, ”However, it’s best for Little Gold to return to Blood Moon Ridge as soon as possible now that she has become a Nine Depths God Killing Mouse. Her chances of survival are even lower if she doesn’t return to Blood Moon Ridge.”

Based on Xue Yun Tian’s words, it was obvious he was determined to take the risk and bring Little Gold back to Blood Moon Ridge today.

At this moment, Little Gold said through Voice Transmission, ”Brother Ling Tian, if it’s possible I don’t want to return to Blood Moon Ridge. I feel like the Leader is going to confine me once I return...”

Duan Ling Tian did not respond to Little Gold. Instead, he said to Xue Yun Tian, ”If you trust me, I have greater confidence in keeping Little Gold safe.”

Xue Yun Tian’s eyes lit up. ”What’s your plan? Although it might also work if Little Gold continues to stay in the dragon clan, it doesn’t solve the problem…”

”No, I don’t plan to have her stay in the dragon clan.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. ”If I’m not mistaken, you plan to use the Transportation Formation in the dragon clan that’ll transport you somewhere near Blood Moon Ridge. However, it’s highly likely that your enemies are already waiting to ambush you there. I plan to take her with me to another Devata Realm…”

”Which Devata Realm?” Xue Yun Tian was startled.

”It’s inconvenient for me to reveal it to you now. However, I can assure you that I will bring her back to Blood Moon Ridge safely. The fewer people who know about this, the better it is. What do you think, senior?”

Xue Yun Tian thought about it for a moment before he shook his head. ”I believe your intentions are good, but what if you encounter danger in the other Devata Realm? Moreover, like you said, those people would be waiting in ambush near Blood Moon Ridge. When you bring her back to Blood Moon Ridge, you’d still encounter them…”

”You have a point, however, how long can the powerhouses wait outside Blood Moon Ridge? After a period of time, I bet most of them would eventually leave,” Duan Ling Tian said, ”By that time, we will send you a message and you can lead the powerhouses from Blood Moon Ridge to intercept us. At that time, we won’t have to deal with so many enemies. Moreover, I can guarantee that Little Gold will be 100% safe with me. I’ll never let anything happen to her!”

Xue Yun Tian fell silent once again. He believed in Duan Ling Tian’s sincerity, but he was not completely confident Duan Ling Tian would be able to keep Little Gold safe.

”Leader,” Little Gold said at this moment, ”I want to go with Brother Ling Tian. I’ll see you again in Blood Moon Ridge…”

Xue Yun Tian could see the unwavering determination in Little Gold’s eyes so he could only agree to her request. Then, he said to Duan Ling Tian, ”If you manage to bring Little Gold home safely, Blood Moon Ridge will be indebted to you…”

”Senior, you’re being too courteous. Like I said, Little Gold is like my sister. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.”

…

After Xue Yun Tian left, Duan Ling Tian prepared to leave with Huan’er and Little Gold as well. 

Since Little Black and Little White were heavily protected, they could not leave the dragon clan. They could only watch with heavy hearts as the trio left.

”Brother Ling Tian, where are we going?” Little Gold asked curiously.

”Solitary Destructive Heaven,” Duan Ling Tian replied through Voice Transmission to avoid being overheard.

”Solitary Destructive Heaven?”

...

After a short time, the trio arrived at the Cloud Platform Mansion in the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s Solitary Destructive Territory. The Cloud Platform Mansion was located close to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

”Senior Meng Chuan, I’ve arrived.”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian arrived in the Solitary Destructive Heaven, Duan Ling Tian immediately sent Meng Chuan a message. He had decided to bring Little Gold to the Solitary Destructive Heaven because Meng Chuan had sent him a message to come to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven because he was the true disciple whom their Heavenly Emperor had been searching for, for years.
