War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3418: The Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven Kong You Yi glared at Duan Ling Tian; his gaze was brimming with hatred. Although the injuries Duan Ling Tian inflicted on him were superficial, he could not forget the pain and humiliation he suffered. Since young, his life had been easy. He had never suffered like he did today. No matter his wrongdoings, even his father had never punished him so harshly. Most importantly, Duan Ling Tian had humiliated him in front of the woman he liked. He was jealous of Duan Ling Tian for being Li Fei’s husband. Apart from that, Li Fei had always treated him coldly because of Duan Ling Tian.

“Second Senior Brother.” The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor was already in a bad mood, to begin with, due to Li Fei’s imminent departure. Now that her Second Senior Brother came looking for trouble with Duan Ling Tian and blatantly disregarded her, her mood naturally worsened. She said in a low voice, “I’m a witness to the incident earlier. Although Duan Ling Tian’s reaction was slightly stronger than warranted, it was not unjustified. Who doesn’t have a quick temper when they’re young? From what I know, didn’t you annihilate an entire clan when you were young just because the Young Miss of the clan refused you? Compared to what you did, I think Duan Ling Tian’s action is rather mild…” Her tone grew icier and icier as she spoke.

“What do you mean by this?” The Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor’s expression darkened as his eyes flashed coldly. “So you’re intent on protecting this person because he’s your beloved disciple’s husband?”

“Second Senior Brother,” the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor said indifferently, “It’s best if you show restraint.”

The Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor glanced at Duan Ling Tian and scoffed. “Third Junior Sister, if it weren’t for you, I would’ve made him kneel and beg for forgiveness. However, for your sake, all he needs to do is bow and apologize to my son. After that, I’ll let the matter go.”

“Father!” Kong You Yi cried out. His expression turned unsightly as soon as he heard his father’s words. “How can we let the matter go so easily?”

In Kong You Yi’s opinion, Duan Ling Tian’s punishment was too light. After all, Duan Ling Tian had injured him and forcefully prevented him from healing his injuries, causing him to suffer excruciating pain and humiliation. On his way here, he was determined to make Duan Ling Tian give up one of his limbs as compensation.

The Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor sent a Voice Transmission to his son, asking his son to keep quiet.

“Currently, your Third Junior Aunt is as strong as I am, and she’ll definitely surpass me in the future. Moreover, she’s your grandmaster’s favorite disciple. If she insists on protecting Duan Ling Tian, I can’t go overboard with my demands. Just be patient. When she’s not around, we can do whatever we want to Duan Ling Tian. We should focus on putting on a show now. She’ll let down her guard once she thinks we’ve let the matter go. At that time, we’ll strike…”

Upon hearing his father’s words, Kong You Yi had no choice but to endure his anger and hatred for now. Nevertheless, he felt much more at ease after listening to the latter part of his father’s message. Then, he replied through Voice Transmission, “Father, you’re wise…”

The Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor replied with a sigh, “This is the only way. Not only is she your grandmaster’s favorite disciple, but she’s progressing so quickly that I can’t simply offend her.”

Meanwhile, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor was stunned by her Second Senior Brother’s concession. Since when did he become so reasonable? However, it did not take long for her to figure out his thoughts. He probably did not want to offend her if it was possible. Nevertheless, despite his compromise, she shook her head and said in a gentler voice, “Second Senior Brother, why don’t you let this matter go for my sake?”

Naturally, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor did not wish for any harm to come to her Second Senior Brother despite being angry at him. Her words were also helping him; after all, he would get into trouble if he offended the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Although she could scare her Second Senior Brother into backing off by revealing Duan Ling Tian’s identity, she wanted to resolve this matter with her own ability.

The Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor’s expression was terrible to look at when he heard those words. “Third Junior Sister, all I ask for is an apology, but you won’t even agree to it?”

“Please let this matter go for my sake, Second Senior Brother,” the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor said firmly as she met her Second Senior Brother’s gaze unflinchingly.

After the fellow disciples stared at each other for a moment, the Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor finally said with a sigh, “Fine. I’ll let this slide for your sake, Third Junior Sister.” Then, he turned to Duan Ling Tian and said with a sneer, “Duan Ling Tian, you’re lucky this time. If it weren’t for my Third Junior Sister, you would’ve suffered!”

After saying that, the Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor left with Kong You Yi. As soon the pair of father and son turned away, their eyes gleamed with killing intent.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian remained silent the entire time as he watched the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor deal with the Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor. Although he could intimidate the Almighty Wind Celestial Emperor with his identity, he decided to let the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor deal with the matter since this was her territory. Moreover, since she was helping him, it did not seem right to refuse her good intention.

After the father and son left, Duan Ling Tian said, “Thank you, Purple Spike Celestial Emperor!”

“There’s no need to thank me,” the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor shook her head and said, “Moreover, I don’t wish for my Second Senior Brother to offend the Heavenly Emperor of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. If anything, I should thank you instead for staying your hand. With your identity, you can easily make things difficult for him if you so wished…”

Before Duan Ling Tian could respond, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor suddenly looked away as though she was listening to something. Following that, she said, “Duan Ling Tian, I told my master about you earlier. I just received a reply from him; he wishes to meet you and Elder Huo…” Then, she turned to Li Fei and said, “Fei’er, you grandmaster wants to see you as well…”

Subsequently, the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor led Duan Ling Tian, Li Fei, and Elder Huo to the cultivation ground of the Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven.

The cultivation ground of the Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven seemed to be located in an overgrown and wild forest. However, when the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor waved her hand, the scenery before everyone’s eyes changed.

The trio found themselves standing in front of a vast mountain valley.

All kinds of Celestial Beasts with remarkable auras could be seen in the sky and on the ground. They had clearly cultivated and were strong. Nevertheless, when they saw the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor, they made way for her and looked at her in admiration from afar.

On the other hand, the stronger Celestial Beasts looked at Elder Huo, who was walking behind Duan Ling Tian and Li Fei, fearfully. They could obviously tell he was a Celestial Beast who was far superior to them. His aura when in his human form was more than enough to strike fear into their hearts.

The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor led Duan Ling Tian and the others to a lake in the center of the valley. Then, she bowed respectfully at an old figure sitting cross-legged in the air above the lake with his back facing them.

“Master.”

The lake was calm and crystal clear. It seemed like there were no fish in there at all. The person who wore an emerald robe blended in harmoniously with the lake’s clear water.

The Purple Spike Celestial Emperor continued to say respectfully as she looked at her master’s back, “Master, I’ve brought everyone here…”

As soon as the Purple Spike Celestial Emperor finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian watched as the person turned around.

The Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven’s skin was without wrinkles despite his white hair. His eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky. He looked at Li Fei and asked, “Fei’er, how long has it been since we last met? 10 years? 20 years?”

Li Fei responded respectfully with a bow “Grandmaster, it has been 19 years.”

“19 years had flown by just like that…” The Heavenly Emperor of the Floating Heaven sighed. Then, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian as he said, “Now that you’re reunited with your husband, will you introduce us?”

Li Fei held Duan Ling Tian’s hand as she said with bright eyes and a happy smile on her face, “Grandmaster, this is my husband, Duan Ling Tian.”
