War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“Should we try attacking the statue?” A hint of excitement could be seen in Wu Feng’s eyes when he looked at the statue. Such a huge statue could hold a lot of treasures, after all.

“No. What if the statue is protected by a Killing Formation, and our attacks trigger the Formation?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

‘Wu Feng fell silent upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words.

In the end, Duan Ling Tian said, “Let’s look around first.”

Then, the duo carefully inspected every inch of the hall. However, in the end, they still did not find anything useful.

“It seems like we’re left with no choice,” Wu Feng said with a wry smile, “We can only attack the statue. Otherwise, we can only return to the cave and explore the other path. Even then, we might just end up in the same situation.”

Duan Ling Tian remained silent. He looked at the statue and carefully studied it again. He looked in the direction the sword was pointed but found nothing as well. In the end, he nodded and said, “We’ll have to attack it then.”

Like Wu Feng said, they were left with two options: they could return to where they came from or they could take the risk and attack the statue.

At this moment, Wu Feng’s expression changed slightly as though he had sensed something. Although Duan Ling Tian was strong, he was a rudimentary King of Gods, after all. His senses were slightly more acute compared to Duan Ling Tian.

On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian was fully focused on studying the statue so he did not sense that something was amiss.

“Someone’s coming! Who could it be?” Wu Feng said.

‘Wu Feng and Duan Ling Tian exchanged a glance and tacitly stood side by side as they faced the opening.

“Could it be Yue Qi and his companion?”

The thought of hiding at the side to ambush the newcomers briefly appeared in their minds, but they quickly dismissed their ideas. After all, the newcomers could easily sense their presence with their Divine Consciousnesses.

‘When the newcomers appeared at the entrance, Duan Ling Tian and Wu Feng were rather surprised. They were none other than Chu Han and the red-clad young man.

“Wu Yi Shan?” Chu Han looked at Wu Feng, completely ignoring Duan Ling Tian.

“There are only two of you?” Wu Feng asked as he raised an eyebrow and looked behind Chu Han to see if there were any more people.

“Yes, it’s just the two of us,” Chu Han said nonchalantly, “Speaking of which, you should thank me and Du Qian Jun for getting rid of four of our competitors.”

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised by Chu Han’s words.

On the contrary, Wu Feng’s expression changed. “You and Du Qian Jun killed four of them?”

Chu Han nodded. “That’s right. You should thank your companion. If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t even be able to enter the Divine Sanctuary.”

“Aren’t you a sectless cultivator? Why would you join forces with Du Qian Jun?” Wu Feng asked with a grim expression on his face.

Chu Han said with a faint smile on his face, “Don’t you know better than to trust an outsider’s words? Did your elders not teach you this?”

“Who are you exactly?” Although Wu Feng had been mentally prepared by Duan Ling Tian’s reminder, he was still surprised that Liu Dong Ming, Yue Qi, and their respective companions had perished so quickly. Moreover, Sima Han had clearly shown earlier that he intended to ally with Liu Dong Ming and

Yue Qi.

“Are you curious?” Chu Han looked at Wu Feng as he said, “Well, since you’re going to die anyway, there’s no harm in satisfying your curiosity.”

‘Wu Feng’s expression darkened upon hearing these words.

“My real name is Chu Han,” Chu Han said arrogantly, “I’m a disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect, and my master is an inner elder of the sect.”

‘Wu Feng’s expression changed drastically upon hearing Chu Han’s words. Hints of fear could be seen in his eyes at this moment.

“A disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed slightly.

Duan Ling Tian did not expect that Chu Han was a disciple of the emperor-rank Flying Dragon Sect. The Flying Dragon Sect controlled not only the Hidden Fog Sect, but the 10,000 Devils Sect and the Linghu clan as well. Since many powerhouses and prodigies from the Hidden Fog Sect had joined the

Flying Dragon Sect, he had naturally heard of the Flying Dragon Sect.

Xue Hai Chun, the prodigy from the Hidden Fog Sect, had precisely joined the Flying Dragon Sect and became an elder of the sect. He was so famous that stories about him were still circulating in the area east of the Flying Dragon Sect where the Hidden Fog Sect was based.

Although Duan Ling Tian had briefly considered Chu Han might be from the Flying Dragon Sect, he was still surprised when Chu Han personally confirmed it.

“You should roughly understand now why I joined forces with Du Qian Jun, right? Let me further explain it to you.” Chu Han said. After a brief pause, he continued to say, “Initially, when we obtained the key, I didn’t have a good look at Du Qian Jun so I didn’t know who he was. When I saw him today, I

realized he resembled the young man whose portrait was hung in my master’s room. The portrait was of Du Zhan, who’s my master’s beloved junior brother when he was still in the 10,000 Devils Sect.”

Realization dawned on Wu Feng.

Chu Han said, “After considering Du Qian Jun’s cultivation base and his resemblance to the young man in the portrait, it’s not difficult for me to guess his identity. After that, I only needed to verify it with Du Qian Jun through Voice Transmission. Initially, he thought you’d given his identity away until I

explained everything to him.”

Chu Han shifted his gaze to Duan Ling Tian before he continued to say, “Then, Du Qian Jun and I planned to let everyone enter first by saying we’d attack the Formation. We planned to catch a few of you off guard and kill you to reduce the competition. Alas, due to the ruckus your junior brother kicked up,

our plan was foiled. Otherwise, you would’ve died. Anyway, we came up with a new plan. After all of you entered the Divine Sanctuary, Du Qian Jun and I killed Liu Dong Ming and his companion. When we entered the Divine Sanctuary, we were delighted when we saw Yue Qi and his companion were

waiting for us. Just like Liu Dong Ming and his companion, the duo died as well.”

At this time, Duan Ling Tian said, “So you and Du Qian Jun split into groups of two and took a path each. Coincidentally, you’re the one who ran into us?”

“That’s right.” Chu Han nodded. Then, he looked at Wu Feng and said with a smile, “Now that I’ve answered your questions, you should be able to die in peace, right?”

‘Wu Feng’s expression darkened as his eyes flashed. “Are you confident you’d be able to kill both of us? After all, Du Qian Jun can’t help you now.”

“Wu Feng, I remember you don’t even have a mediocre divine artifact. As such, I don’t need any help to kill you,” Chu Han said with a scoff. As his Divine Energy surged out from his body, a chilling energy swept out to the surroundings. The energy was a combination of his Divine Energy and the Frost

Elemental Profundity from the law of ice.

The surrounding temperature plummeted in just an instance.

“Tt seems like you fooled everyone. Who knew you’re skilled in the law of ice instead of the law of water…” Wu Feng said as he narrowed his eyes.

Duan Ling Tian furrowed his brows slightly. Previously, Wu Feng had told him that Chu Han had comprehended the law of water. However, not only was that not the case, but he could also sense Chu Han’s comprehension of the law of ice was rather high as well.

“Tm afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. Indeed, I didn’t have a mediocre divine artifact previously, but I have one now.” Wu Feng raised his hand, and the mediocre divine sword that he had exchanged for with Duan Ling Tian appeared in his hand. At the same time, Divine Energy surged from his body.

“Oh, I didn’t expect you to obtain a mediocre divine artifact. I guess your status in the Hidden Fog Sect isn’t that low, after all,” Chu Han said with a hint of surprise. Soon enough, a sneer appeared on his face as he said, “Alas, it’s useless. At most, you’ll end up fighting to a draw with me. I have my junior

brother with me; his strength is comparable to mine. You, on the other hand, only brought an advanced god here.. Who do you think has the advantage here?”
