War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“I’m Li An!” The old man in the lead announced his name. He was none other than the Silver Flame Elder from the Fire Worship Sect, one of the three great sects in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. He was also the Black Turtle Sanctum’s First Silver Flame Elder in the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Sanctums!

Li An had come to the Azure Cloud Mansion to deal with the true disciple, Duan Ling Tian. He planned to use Duan Ling Tian’s family to threaten Duan Ling Tian so he would leave the Fire Worship Sect. Once he had left the Fire Worship Sect, Li An would be able to kill him.

Originally, Li An should have arrived at the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land and the Azure Cloud Mansion sooner along with the men Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, sent with him. However, he had heard a piece of shocking news that delayed his arrival.

The shocking news Li An had heard was about the Asura Saber, one of the ten Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapon Ranking. The Asura Saber had appeared!

Some of the ten great Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapon Ranking were in the possession of the high-ranking officials from the three great sects while the others’ whereabouts remained a mystery. The location of the Asura Saber was one of the ones that remained a mystery.

Although Li An could not wait to go to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land to investigate Duan Ling Tian’s background, compared to the Asura Saber, it was not as mportant. For this reason, he had instructed the group of Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses that Yang Chong assigned to him to look for the person who had obtained the Asura Saber. Li An did not stay idle either. It must be said that Li An was quite lucky. He managed to find the person fortunate enough to obtain the Asura Saber. The Asura Saber fell into his hands after he killed that person.

Li An was the only one who knew he had the Asura Saber in his possession. The group of Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses was unaware of this. Perhaps, this group of Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses might not have the strength to snatch the Asura Saber from him, but they were definitely capable of spreading word of it. If news of it spread out, it would be impossible for him to hold on to the Asura Saber.

After all, Li An was not like Xie Zong who had snatched the Devilseal Tablet from Duan Ling Tian. Although Xie Zong was just an ordinary elder from the Black Kshetra Sect, his father was one of the four great Kamapas in the Black Kshetra Sect.

The positions of the four great Kamapas in the Black Kshetra Sect were equal to the three great Guardians in the Fire Worship Sect. They were all elite powerhouses in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!

With the Black Kshetra Sect’s Kamapa supporting Xie Zong, not many people would dare to openly snatch the Devilseal Tablet from him. Moreover, it was not certain the Devilseal Tablet was still in his hands. He might have handed it over to his father, the Golden Lion King, one of the four great Kamapas from the Black Kshetra Sect.

The Asura Saber was a famous Super Saint Weapon on the Ten Great Saint Weapon Ranking. It was a 10,000 Inscriptions Saint Weapon that specialized in combat. It was strong enough to easily defeat a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon easily!

Was there anyone who did not want such a Saint Weapon?

As a Fire Worship Sect’s Silver Flame Elder who did not have any backing, would Li An be able to hold on to the Super Saint Weapon? He might have the Fire Worship Sect behind him, but the high-ranking officials from the sect like Golden Flame Elders might covet the Asura Saber as well. There was no way he would be able to keep the Asura Saber if that happened.

For this reason, after obtaining the Asura Saber, Li An decided he would not use the Asura Saber until he was strong enough to hold on to it or if he was in a life or death situation. After all, the Asura Saber was a great source of temptation for many people!

Although Li An was delighted he managed to obtain the Asura Saber, he did not forget his goal to go to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land to investigate Duan Ling Tian’s background!

After obtaining the Asura Saber, one of the ten great Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapon Ranking, he gathered the people that Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, had assigned to him and came to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land through the Inter-province Transportation Formation.

Everything went smoothly for Li An. As soon as he arrived in the Lower Province, he instantly learned about Duan Ling Tian’s background from the Lower Province’s Watcher. After he learned about Duan Ling Tian’s background, he instantly brought his men to the Azure Cloud Mansion, leading to the current situation.

“Li An?” The group of Black Armored Guards was puzzled when they heard Li An’s name since they had not heard of him. However, that did not stop fear from rising in their hearts.

Based on the strength of the men the old man was leading, they had to be elite powerhouses from the Upper Province. Since Li An was leading them, he must be even stronger than the men he led.

Although they had never heard of Li An’s name, they thought he might be a reclusive powerhouse from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!

“Lord, I wonder if there’s a reason you came to the Azure Cloud Mansion?” A Black Armored Army’s Centurion finally asked after he mustered up his courage.

“There’s nothing important,” Li An replied indifferently, “The main reason I came here is to invite your Young Mansion Master’s family to go to the Upper Province to be my guests…”

Young Mansion Master? The Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land?

The group of Black Armored Guards could not help but gasp. Although Li An had spoken politely, they were certain he did not come just to invite the Young Mansion Master’s family to the Upper Province to be his guests.

If Li An had come to invite them to the Upper Province as guests, was there a need for him to kill so many people?

“He’s really a powerhouse from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!”

“He even mentioned Young Mansion Master. It seems like he has enmity with Young Mansion Master!”

“My goodness! How did Young Mansion Master offend a powerhouse like this? Not only that, but this person wants to bring Lord Mansion Master and the others to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land to threaten the Young Mansion Master?”

“Isn’t it obvious? How did Young Mansion Master offend this person to the extent this person actually came to kidnap his family? He had just left for the Upper Province not too long ago. Young Mansion Master is indeed the ultimate genius of the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!”

“Based on the situation, Young Mansion Master must have great achievements in the Upper Province. Otherwise, this person wouldn’t have come here to kidnap his family to threaten him!”

When the group of Black Armored Guards discussed the matter among themselves, it could be seen that they did not blame Duan Ling Tian for bringing disaster to the Azure Cloud Mansion. Instead, they sounded proud,

The Black Armored Guards were all carefully selected by the Azure Cloud Mansion. The Black Armored Guards were ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the Azure Cloud Mansion!

“Bravo, Young Mansion Master!” One of the Centurions suddenly shouted. His tone was filled with excitement.

If Duan Ling Tian was here, he would be able to identify this person was none other than Tong Zhong. He was the strongest powerhouse under the Exemplary Saint Stage in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. He was also the direct disciple of Ku Mi who used to be the right-hand man of the Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion.

Previously, Ku Mi was killed by the Black Kshetra Sect’s Elder Xie Zong. For this reason, Tong Zhong had been cultivating diligently. He had broken through to the Exemplary Saint Stage and became the strongest powerhouse after the Black Armored Army’s Commander! He had also been appointed as the successor of the Black Armored Army’s Commander too!

When the group of Black Armored Guards present on the scene heard Tong Zhong’s words. They all called out one after another.

“Young Mansion Master!”

“Young Mansion Master!”

“Young Mansion Master!”

The Black Armored Guard cried out loudly. Their gazes had changed as well when they looked at Li An and his men. Initially, their eyes were filled with fear and helplessness. However, now it was filled with contempt.

“Do all of you really think I came to kidnap your Young Mansion Master’s family because I fear his strength?” Naturally, Li An had heard the discussion of the Black Armored Guards. A flame of wrath rose in his heart immediately when he looked at them.

“Isn’t that the case?” Tong Zhong smirked when he heard Li An’s words.

“Isn’t that the case?” The group of Black Armored Guards repeated Tong Zhong’s words and smirked as well. Their eyes were filled with contempt when they looked at Li An.

“Hurmph! If I wasn’t for the fact that your Young Mansion Master hides like a coward, I would’ve killed him. I only came to Azure Cloud Mansion to kidnap his family to lure him out so I can kill him. In my eyes, he’s nothing more than an ant!” Li An snorted disdainfully.

As soon as Li An finished speaking, Tong Zhong burst out laughing loudly.”Geezer, Young Mansion Master isn’t here so you can say whatever you like. You’re so old, to think you can’t even deal with our Young Mansion Master! If I were you, I’d dig a hole and hide in it. To think you actually came to the Lower Province to kidnap Young Mansion Master’s family. You’re pathetic!”

Tong Zhong was not polite with his words. There was no reason for him to be polite after all. He was prepared to die.

“You’re seeking death!” Tong Zhong’s words had infuriated Li An. The Saint Origin in his body surged out as he prepared to attack Tong Zhong.

At this moment…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three figures were flying over at an extremely fast speed.

“Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouses?” Although the speed of these three figures was not fast in Li An’s eyes, their presence still captured his attention since he noticed their speed was comparable to a powerhouse at the Quintessential Saint Stage.

From what Li An knew, Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouses were rare in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. However, it seemed like there were three Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouses in the Azure Cloud Mansion!
