War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened when he heard the words of the manager of Cloud Teahouse. The first step of his plan was a success now that Linghu Yun, the Fourth Master of the Linghu clan, asked to meet him.

“Okay,” Duan Ling Tian replied as he rose to his feet.

The manager led Duan Ling Tian to the private room and pulled the curtain aside as he made an inviting gesture and said, “Little brother, please enter.”

The manager did not enter the room since Linghu Yun had sent him a message asking him to leave them alone.

Following that, only Duan Ling Tian, Linghu Yun, and the old man were left in the private room.

“Duan Ling Tian, you expended so much effort just to meet me?” Linghu Yun bluntly said to Duan Ling Tian who had yet to take a seat.

“Fourth Young Master, you’re as smart as rumored,” Duan Ling Tian said with a slight smile.

“You’re hoping I’d help you to meet my cousin sister?” Linghu Yun asked with a smile.

“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian replied honestly.

“TIl give you a piece of advice: give up,” Linghu Yun said as he shook his head, “Since my aunt brought my cousin back to the Linghu clan, many people have come to ask for my cousin’s hand in marriage due to her beauty. Some of them even asked for help from my father. However, all of them were

rejected by my aunt. My aunt has announced that my cousin is prohibited from getting married.”

Linghu Yun thought Duan Ling Tian would be persuaded after listening to his words. Naturally, that was not the case.

Duan Ling Tian said, “I’ve heard about that.”

“Do you think my aunt will make an exception for you due to your high innate talent and comprehension skills? You’re dreaming. Once my aunt makes up her mind, no one can change it. Let alone my father, not even the ancestor of our clan can change her mind,” Linghu Yun said as he shook his head.

“I think you misunderstood my intention,” Duan Ling Tian said with a faint smile, “I only want to meet Linghu Chu Yin. I have no intention of pursuing her, let alone ask for her hand in marriage.”

Linghu Yun frowned in confusion. “You’re telling me you went to such great lengths just to meet her and that you have no other intentions?”

Linghu Yun did not understand why Duan Ling Tian was so persistent about meeting his cousin if Duan Ling Tian did not harbor any intentions toward his cousin.

“Twant to meet her because she looks identical to my wife who was separated from me for many years…” Duan Ling Tian patiently explained everything to Linghu Yun like he did to Wu Feng previously.

“Tcame to meet you here because I hope you’ll help me meet her so I can confirm if she only resembles my wife or if she’s really my wife. Not only do they look alike, but even their temperament and bearing are alike. If you’re afraid that I pose a danger to her, you can have this elder by your side present

when I meet her. He’s a Lord of Gods who can easily kill me, after all,” Duan Ling Tian said solemnly.

Duan Ling Tian had previously gathered information about Linghu Yun so he knew Linghu Yun was always accompanied by an old man who was a Lord of Gods called Linghu Xuan.

Linghu Xuan had watched the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan grow up so the clan leader treated Linghu Xuan like he would his father. The clan leader even recognized Linghu Xuan as his godfather later on.

Since Linghu Yun lost the ability to cultivate after saving his father’s life, his father had arranged for Linghu Xuan, someone whom he trusted greatly, to protect Linghu Yun.

Linghu Xuan did not have any direct descendants of his own so he naturally treated Linghu Yun like his grandson. Moreover, Linghu Yun had saved his godson’s life. How could he not be willing to protect Linghu Yun?

Among the younger generation in the Linghu clan, only Linghu Yun and Linghu Chu Yin were guarded by Lords of Gods due to special reasons. Linghu Yun was given this privilege due to his inability to cultivate after saving his father while Linghu Chu Yin was given this privilege due to her mother.

“Young man, it seems like you’ve done your research since you know I’m a Lord of Gods,” Linghu Xuan said as he looked at Duan Ling Tian intently. After a moment, his eyes widened imperceptibly as he asked, “You’ve broken through and became a rudimentary King of Gods?”

Linghu Xuan had instinctively extended his Divine Consciousness when he spoke to Duan Ling Tian so he had sensed Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I only broke through recently.” Then, he looked at Linghu Yun with bright eyes as he said, “Fourth Young Master, I really hope you’ll help me. I’ll be indebted to you and owe you a favor.”

Linghu Yun looked at Duan Ling Tian silently, lost in his thoughts. After a moment, he looked at Linghu Xuan and asked, “Grandpa Xuan, what do you think?”

Linghu Xuan nodded. “With me around, he won’t be able to play any tricks or do any harm.”

Upon hearing these words, Linghu Yun turned back to look at Duan Ling Tian and said with a smile, “Duan Ling Tian, I’ll bring you to the clan estate and let you meet my cousin. However, apart from owing me a favor, you have to tell me the entire story of the Eastern Emperor. If it’s inconvenient for you

to do so, you can record it in a Memory Jade Talisman and hand it over to me. I want to know how Chen Dong Huang deals with Chen Tong Tong who betrayed his foster mother! I also want to know if he manages to change the fate of his biological parents and save them after traveling back 1,000 years.”

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian readily agreed to Linghu Yun. “I’ll record it ina Memory Jade Talisman and hand it over to you after meeting Linghu Chu Yin. As for the favor I owe you, you can contact me when you need me. However, your request cannot violate my personal principles.”

“Of course! I have my own principles as well,” Linghu Yun said with a nod.

With that, the duo exchanged Soul Pearls to facilitate communication in the future.

“When will you bring me to meet Linghu Chu Yin?” Duan Ling Tian asked eagerly. If it was possible, he did not want to waste any time at all.

“We can go now,” Linghu Yun said, “Coincidentally, my aunt isn’t in the estate so only Elder Qing Ze is with my cousin now.”

“Linghu Qing Ze?” Duan Ling Tian raised his eyebrows. If it were not for Linghu Qing Ze, he would have been able to verify if Linghu Chu Yin was Ke’er when they were in King Descending City.

“Don’t worry,” Linghu Yun said, “Grandpa Xuan will lure her away so you can meet my cousin.”

Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief upon hearing Linghu Yun’s words.

The trio made their way to the Linghu clan’s estate in the east of the city immediately. When they arrived at the boundary of the estate, a group of patrolling elders and disciples appeared and greeted Linghu Yun and Linghu Xuan.

“Elder Xuan, Young Master Yun.”

Needless to say, none of them objected to Duan Ling Tian’s presence since he was accompanied by Linghu Yun and Linghu Xuan. They did not have the authority to question the guests the duo bring to the estate, after all.

“You may leave.” Linghu Yun dismissed them.

‘As they made their way into the Linghu clan’s estate, Duan Ling Tian could not help but ask, “Fourth Young Master, is Linghu Chu Yin your aunt’s biological daughter?”

“Thave no idea.” Linghu Yun shook his head.

Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised. “You don’t know? Isn’t she your aunt? How can you not know?”

Linghu Yun said with a wry smile, “Although she’s my aunt, prior to her return, the last time I saw her was when I was still a teenager. I only know she went to the Divine Offering Land and lost all contact with us. After a long while, she brought my cousin with her when she returned to our clan from the

Divine Offering Land.”

“You’re sure she brought Linghu Chu Yin here from the Divine Offering Land?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he tried to suppress his excitement.

“Yes, I’m sure.” Linghu Yun nodded.

“However, I thought the passages between the Realms of Gods and Devata Realms are closed. How did she return to the Linghu clan if she were in the Divine Offering Land?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a frown.

“Through the Realm Battlefield,” Linghu Yun replied, “The barrier in the Realm Battlefield is thin so you can tear an opening through it. She returned using a compass.”

“A compass?”

Linghu Yun explained, “It’s a divine artifact that records the coordinates of various Realms of Gods. With the compass, you can accurately go to the destination of your choosing. Although the compass doesn’t have any other uses apart from that, it’s very difficult to make. Due to its rarity, it’s considered a

prominent divine artifact. Even in the Linghu clan, we only have two of such compasses; one of which belongs to my aunt.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. With this, it explained how they traveled from the Divine Offering Land to the Profound Energy Land..
