War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

In the end, Fang Ji believed Li Rou’s words and decided to follow her to the remnant from a Realm of Gods. Needless to say, he no longer brought Li Rou to the Sect Leader of the Smudge Crow Sect. Before leaving the sect, he brought his son, whom he loved, and his three disciples, whom he valued very much. Since he decided to free Li Rou in exchange for a fortuitous encounter, he decided to leave the Smudge Crow Sect for good.

Fang Ji’s only son, Fang Chun, was also a Celestial King; he was also stronger than Li Rou. He raised an eyebrow when he found out about his father’s plan and said, “Isn’t this too risky?”

“Are you worried she’s lying to me?” Fang Ji looked at his son affectionately as he said, “Rest assured, Chun’er. She won’t dare to lie to me. Moreover, it doesn’t benefit her at all to lie. She would suffer an excruciating death if she lied to me… She could’ve lived a good life if she had stayed with the Sect Leader…” At the end of his words, he glanced at Li Rou warningly.

Li Rou remained calm, further convincing Fang Ji that she was not lying.

At this moment, a middle-aged man, Fang Ji’s eldest disciple who was stronger than Fang Chun, said menacingly, “Second Junior Brother, you’re overthinking things. She’s no match for us at all. All of us are stronger than her, and she’s outnumbered. How is she going to escape if she lied to us? Even if she lures us into a trap and manages to kill or injure one of us, she still won’t be able to escape…” At the end of his words, he smiled disdainfully.

Following that, Fang Ji’s remaining two disciples chimed in, “That’s right. Second Senior Brother. Eldest Senior Brother is right. There’s nothing she can do to us…”

Fang Chun was aware of these things as well. It was just that he could not help but ask the question. After having his thoughts confirmed, he felt at ease. Following that, he solemnly said, “Let’s hurry up and leave. From now on, we’re no longer members of the Smudge Crow Sect. If the Sect Leader finds out we brought Li Rou away, he will never let us off…”

“It won’t take long before one of us becomes a Celestial Lord after entering the remnant of a Realm of Gods. At that time, the Sect Leader won’t dare to act recklessly against us. Who knows if all of us advanced at the same time, he might even have to step down from his position and let master be the Sect Leader of the Smudge Crow Sect…” Fang Ji’s first disciple said. Then, he turned to Fang Ji and said ingratiatingly, “Master, thank you for giving me such an amazing opportunity. Rest assured, I’ll be loyal to you even after my strength improves…”

Fang Ji’s remaining two disciples nodded as well and expressed their gratitude.

Fang Ji nodded; he was delighted to see his disciples were loyal to him. He decided to bring his three disciples along because he needed a few trustworthy helpers. He was an ambitious person. After he improved his strength, he decided to set his sight on a force that was stronger than the sixth-grade Smudge Crow Sect.

“Lead the way,” Fang Ji said to Li Rou coldly, “You better not be lying. Now that we’ve left the Smudge Crow Sect, there’s nothing stopping us from killing you if you lie to us…”

Fang Ji naturally wanted to leave the Smudge Crow Sect as soon as he could. First, he could not wait to undergo a transformation and raise his innate talent. Second, he needed to leave before the Sect Leader of the Smudge Crow Sect realized he had betrayed the sect and taken Li Rou away. It would not take long for the Sect Leader of the Smudge Crow Sect to discover what he had done and send people to hunt him down.

“It doesn’t benefit me to lie to you at all…” Li Rou said calmly, “If you go back on your words, trust that I’ve secured a way to get back at you…”

Fang Ji’s eyes flashed coldly before he said, “Don’t worry. I won’t go back on my words.”

Following that, Li Rou asked, “Where’s the nearest transportation site? We need to go there first…” In fact, she knew the location of the nearest transportation site, but she deliberately asked Fang Ji to lead her there.

“The Scholar Woods City,” Fang Ji replied before he asked, “The place you mentioned isn’t in the Purple Revelation Territory?”

“That’s right.” Li Rou nodded.

Fang Ji did not say anything as he led Li Rou, his son, and his three disciples to the Scholar Woods City. At the same time, his son and three disciples surrounded Li Rou as they traveled to prevent her from escaping.

At the same time, Li Rou sighed in relief inwardly. In fact, she had only learned about remnants of Realms of Gods from Duan Ling Tian earlier. He had told her about the remnants of Realms of Gods and came up with this idea to keep her safe before their arrival. Since she truly came from a mundane realm and was transformed during her time in the Divine Offering Realm, it was not difficult to convince Fang Ji at all.

Before deciding on this plan, Duan Ling Tian had suggested to Li Rou that she tell Fang Ji she had the support of a Celestial Emperor. However, after thinking about it, he thought it would be difficult to convince Fang Ji. Therefore, in the end, they decided to lie about the remnant of a Realm of Gods. After all, greed was part of human nature. As an elder from a sixth-grade force, it was unlike Fang Ji could become a Celestial Lord in this life. How could he let go of a chance to improve his talent and cultivation base?

Before leaving the Smudge Crow Sect, Li Rou had also told Duan Ling Tian that she was heading to the Scholar Woods City.

…

When Duan Ling Tian and the others arrived in the Purple Revelation Territory, they were transported to the middle of nowhere. It seemed like he was somewhere between the Smudge Crow Sect and Elegant Sect. Since Li Rou would be in more danger if she continued staying in the Smudge Crow Sect, he thought it was best for her to stall for time by leaving the Smudge Crow Sect while they looked for her.

“Do you know where Scholar Woods City is?” Duan Ling Tian asked Elder Huo.

Whoosh!

Elder Huo transformed into a flaming red Three-legged Golden Crowd in just a blink of an eye. He carried Duan Ling Tian and Duan Ru Feng on his back, traveling a great distance each time he flapped his wings. If those who could catch Elder Huo’s movement saw him at this moment, they would have mistaken him for the sun.

Finally…

“We’ve arrived.”

Although the Scholar Woods City was quite far away, Duan Ling Tian and Duan Ru Feng arrived quickly thanks to Elder Huo.

Duan Ling Tian sent a message to Li Rou as soon as he arrived and was relieved when he learned that she had yet to arrive.

“Father, let’s intercept them.”

Since they had arrived at the Scholar Woods City and roughly knew the direction to the Smudge Crow Sect, it would not be difficult to intercept Fang Ji who was on his way to the Scholar Woods City.

However, just as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he received another message from Li Rou.

“Tian’er, we’re taking a detour to get to the Scholar Woods City. They must be afraid of being discovered by the people from the Smudge Crow Sect. It’s best if you and your father wait for me in the Scholar Woods City.”

After agreeing to his mother’s request, Duan Ling Tian updated his father about the change in plan.

Following that, the father and son rode on Elder Huo’s back and soared up into the sky while they waited for Li Rou’s arrival.

Elder Huo extended his Divine Consciousness and shrouded the entire Scholar Woods City. As soon as Li Rou stepped into the area shrouded by his Divine Consciousness, he would be immediately alerted of her presence and whereabouts.

Elder Huo was not only a titled Celestial Emperor, but he was also a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor. The strongest person in the Scholar Woods City was just a mere Celestial Lord so how could anyone detect Elder Huo’s Divine Consciousness?

…

A few hours later.

“They’ve arrived.”

Duan Ling Tian and Duan Ru Feng’s eyes lit up as soon as they heard Elder Huo’s words.

Duan Ru Feng was so overwhelmed with emotions that his body trembled slightly. It had been a long time since he last saw his wife.

“Let’s go!”

Swoosh!

The trio stirred up a gust of wind as they vanished without a trace.

…

Meanwhile, Li Rou who was being held captive by Fang Ji and his son and disciples were somewhere near the eastern side of the Scholar Woods City.

“Li Rou, are you done thinking?” Fang Ji asked impatiently.

“No.” Li Rou frowned. “Fang Ji, it’s unfair that you brought so many people with you. I have a feeling you’ll go back on your words once I reveal the location of the remnant of the Realm of Gods to you.”
