War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

After safely returning to Flying Dragon City, Ding Yan sighed in relief.

Unlike Duan Ling Tian, the identity tokens the group obtained would be given to the leader for safekeeping. They would divide the identity tokens once they completed their mission.

Ding Yan followed his group members to Peace City to exchange for war points.

After they were done, someone asked, “Ding Yan, do you have anything you want in Peace City?”

Ding Yan shook his head, “Yes. I browsed around previously and saw many things I need. Alas, I don’t have enough war points to exchange for them now.”

After that, Ding Yan bade his fellow disciples farewell and returned to Flying Dragon City. When he was near the exit of the Imperial War Realm that led to the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate, he saw two suspicious men who were acting sneaky.

The two men surveyed their surroundings before they began to whisper to each other, unaware that Ding Yan was now behind them.

“We can’t let too many people know about the Divine Sanctuary that’s left behind by an advanced Emperor of Gods.”

“Of course! However, we need a certain number of people to enter the Divine Sanctuary, right? We should look for Lords of Gods to help us.”

“Absolutely not! We’re just advanced Kings of Gods. If we invite the Lords of Gods, do you think we’ll have a chance to obtain anything in the Divine Sanctuary?”

At this moment, one of the men suddenly turned around. His expression changed, and his eyes flashed with killing intent when he saw Ding Yan standing behind him. He looked at Ding Yan menacingly and said to his friend, “Someone’s behind us.” Then, he asked Ding Yan, “Were you eavesdropping on our conversation? Did you hear us?”

The two young men were inner disciples of the Flying Dragon Sect. One was dressed in a long blue robe, and the other was dressed in a white and gray long robe. Both of them did not conceal their hostility as they looked at Ding Yan.

“Yes,” Ding Yan replied honestly. They would not believe him anyway if he said no. At this moment, desire burned in his heart when he recalled the two men’s conversation. He would definitely have a fortuitous encounter if he could enter a Divine Sanctuary left behind by an Emperor of Gods.

All of a sudden, one of the men suddenly frowned. Then, his eyes flashed as he asked, “Are you Ding Yan?”

“Yes.” Ding Yan nodded.

The other men asked in confusion, “Ding Yan? Do you know him?”

Following that, the two men walked to the side and discussed among themselves.

“Not really, no. I only heard that Ding Yan was brought to our sect by Revered Elder Sikong. He only officially joined the sect after the Latent Dragon Grand Contest with Duan Ling Tian and Hua Tian Du.”

“Revered Elder Sikong? The father of Senior Sister Sikong Yue, the Green Dragon Disciple?”

“No, I don’t. I’ve only heard before that Ding Yan was brought to the Flying Dragon Sect by our sect’s Revered Elder Sikong. He didn’t join the Flying Dragon Sect until he participated in the Latent Dragon Grand Contest together with Duan Ling Tian and Hua Tian Du.”

“Revered Elder Sikong? You mean the Green Dragon Disciple, Senior Sister Sikong Yue’s father?”

“That’s right.”

Following that, the two men approached Ding Yan again.

Ding Yan tried his best to stay calm as his heart raced in his chest. It was not too difficult since he knew the two men could not possibly kill him Flying Dragon City.

“Ding Yan,” the blue-clad young man said in a low voice, “Since you overheard our conversation, I’ll give you two choices. You can either join us to go to the Divine Sanctuary, and we’ll even allow you to bring another person with you, or if you’re not interested, you have to swear on the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath that you won’t disclose what you heard to anyone. Apart from that, we’ll also give you 1,000 contribution points. If you’re interested in joining us, you’ll also have to swear on the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath to keep this matter a secret. Oh, right, you should bring Sikong Yue if you decide to join us since you have a good relationship with Revered Elder Sikong. Naturally, Sikong Yue will also have to swear to keep the matter a secret if she accepts your invitation.”

“Since Sikong Yue is stronger than us, she’ll also have to swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath that she won’t attack us while we’re in the Divine Sanctuary.”

Ding Yan was initially slightly skeptical, but he became more and more convinced when he saw how cautious the two men were. When the duo stopped talking, he finally said, “I have a request. I have no objections to your conditions, but I don’t want Sikong Yue to join us. I want to bring Duan Ling Tian instead. He’s not a Lord of Gods.”

The two men’s expressions changed slightly when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s name.

“Duan Ling Tian?”

“Duan Ling Tian who killed 100 disciples from the Tai Yi Sect on the King Battlefield in less than a year?”

“Duan Ling Tian who’s said to be as strong as a rudimentary Lord of Gods?”

Ding Yan nodded. “Yes.”

“No!” One of the young men shook his head decisively and said, “Duan Ling Tian is too strong. He’s even stronger than Sikong Yue. We won’t be able to gain any benefits at all if he joins us. I still think you should bring Sikong Yue.”

However, the other man said, “If Duan Ling Tian joins us, then we don’t need to look for so many people to join us. After all, he’s strong enough to replace a few people. With fewer people, our benefits will increase as well. Although it’s true that we might not gain anything he joins, it’s also not without its advantages if he joins us.”

Ding Yan watched the two men with a slight frown. He was really reluctant to bring Sikong Yue with him. The first person he thought of was Duan Ling Tian. Finally, he said threateningly, “You said you only want to bring a King of Gods, and Duan Ling Tian is a King of Gods. If you’re not willing, I’ll spread the news about your discovery after leaving the Imperial War Realm. At that time, everyone will hound you endlessly, and you won’t gain anything in the end.”

Upon hearing these words, the two men’s expressions turned hostile. They looked at each other for a long time.

Eventually, the blue-clad young man said solemnly, “Very well. We’ll let Duan Ling Tian join us. However, he has to swear on the Devil’s Heart Blood Oath that he won’t monopolize all the treasures in the Divine Sanctuary. Since he’s stronger, he can have 30% of things in there. The remaining 70% will be equally divided among everyone else.”

Ding Yan nodded. “Alright. How many people do you plan to invite? I suggest you don’t invite too many people.”

“With Duan Ling Tian in our group, we’ll only invite another four people. This means each of us, apart from Duan Ling Tian, will get 10% of the treasures in the Divine Sanctuary.”

Upon hearing this, Ding Yan thought the two men were rather optimistic. They did not seem to consider any risks at all after entering the Divine Sanctuary. He asked, “Didn’t you think about the danger in there? If one of us is in danger, we’ll definitely have to rely on Duan Ling Tian to save us. For that reason, I think Duan Ling Tian should get 40% of the share. His share will increase if any of us dies.”

The two men remained silently; they were clearly discussing the matter through Voice Transmission. After a moment, they nodded.

“Alright. It’s a deal.”

…

In the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.

“Duan Ling Tian left the Imperial War Realm quite a while ago.”

“He should be cultivating now.”

Ding Yan and the two inner disciples quickly made their way to the inner disciples’ cultivation ground. Alas, they did not find Duan Ling Tian.

In the end, Ding Yan said to the two men, “I’ll get in touch with you after I speak to Duan Ling Tian.”

The trio exchanged Soul Pearls before they parted ways.

After that, the two men entered the same courtyard. They activated an isolation Formation before they began to speak.

“The fish has taken the bait,” the blue-clad young man said with a grin, “Inform Elder Kuang about this.”

“Elder Kuang is definitely going to reward us greatly when he hears about this,” the other man said happily.

Obviously, these men were sent by Kuang Tian Zheng to lure Duan Ling Tian out of the Flying Dragon Sect by fabricating lies about the Divine Sanctuary left behind by an Emperor of Gods.

…

After receiving the message from the two men, Kuang Tian Zheng smiled. “It’s easier than I thought. It seems like Ding Yan didn’t doubt the veracity of those men’s words at all.”
