4445 Meng Yu Zheng
Tan Xiu Teng was close to becoming a peerless top advanced Supreme God after all. He could naturally understand Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts. With their cultivation bases, they had to consider their actions all the time to avoid forming the Heart Devil, which would affect their chances of survival during the Heavenly Tribulation.
Tan Xiu Teng knew that if he was not ordered by Meng Yu Zheng and sincerely harbored the intention to kill Duan Ling Tian, it was likely that Duan Ling Tian would kill him. It would be fine if Duan Ling Tian was open-minded. If not, Duan Ling Tian would have to kill him so that he would not form the Heart Devil that would affect his Heavenly Tribulation.
‘Fortunately, I was only ordered to kill him,’ Tan Xiu Teng thought to himself as he sighed in relief.
Then, he shook his head when he thought about Meng Yu Zheng. He knew that Meng Yu Zheng was going to die soon, after all.
‘You can’t blame me. If you need someone to blame, you can only blame yourself for targeting him. Not only did you ruin my life, but you also ruined your own life. However, fortunately, I managed to survive. However, I won’t be able to say the same for you…’
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian cultivated without worries in Tan Xiu Teng’s flying ship. He was naturally not worried about Tan Xiu Teng playing tricks now that they had a master-servant contract between them. Although Tan Xiu Teng used to serve Meng Tian Feng, he was not worried about Tan Xiu Teng’s loyalty at all. Even if Meng Tian Feng was strong, he could not compare to the restrictions of the master-servant contract. After all, he would be able to sense it if Tan Xiu Teng harbored malicious intentions toward him, and he could literally kill Tan Xiu Teng with just a thought.
…
In the Meng clan in Green Billow City.
Ever since Meng Yu Zheng returned from Blue Dawn City, he had been depressed, brooding over the things that happened in the Wang clan. Not only was he humiliated by the new son-in-law of the Wang clan, but he was humiliated in front of so many prominent figures in the Divine Sand Realm. Apart from that, he was also reprimanded by the ancestor of the Meng clan because of the new son-in-law of the Meng clan! With all these things, his hatred toward ‘Li Feng’ grew even stronger.
‘It’s been three years… Don’t tell me Li Feng didn’t leave the Wang clan or Blue Dawn City at all?’
Over the past three years, Meng Yu Zheng could not remember the number of times he hovered in the sky above the Meng clan’s estate, looking in the direction of Blue Dawn City and talking to himself.
Feeling confident about his speculation, Meng Yu Zheng muttered under his breath, ‘If Li Feng has a supreme powerhouse protecting him when he leaves the Wang clan, it means that Tan Xiu Teng won’t have a chance to make a move. If that happened, Tan Xiu Teng would have returned and informed me of this. Since Tan Xiu Teng has yet to return, it means that Li Feng didn’t leave the Wang clan and Blue Dawn City at all…”
As usual, after talking to himself for a while, Meng Yu Zheng prepared to return to his room to cultivate. Despite his mood, he naturally did not forget to cultivate. However, it had to be said that his progress over the past three years was not good.
When he cultivated, ‘Li Feng’ would appear in his mind as though ‘Li Feng’ was mocking his incompetence. It also reminded him that he was not as good as Li Feng, that he failed to marry Wang Luo Yu, that he was looked down upon by the Wang clan, and that his ancestor did not take his side either. He knew that he was going to form a Heart Devil from this and tried to restrain his thoughts, but it was useless.
Since he was young, this was the first time he had suffered such a setback and humiliation. He hated ‘Li Feng’ so much that one would think ‘Li Feng’ had murdered his father.
‘If Li Feng doesn’t die, I’m afraid that I’ll be injured during my upcoming Heavenly Tribulation due to the Heart Devil,’ Meng Yu Zheng thought to himself.
Previously, he was not worried about his Heavenly Tribulation at all; he was even confident he would be able to survive it completely unscathed. However, now that he was sure he was going to form a Heart Devil, he was not certain he would be able to survive the Heavenly Tribulation. His only hope now is to kill Li Feng to survive.
Suddenly…
“Young Master Meng…”
Just as Meng Yu Zheng sighed in disappointment and was about to leave, he suddenly received a Voice Transmission. His eyes lit up immediately. The other party was none other than Tan Xiu Teng, the Green Flame Saber King, whom he had been waiting for, for three years.
Under normal circumstances, Meng Yu Zheng knew that Tan Xiu Teng could not even be bothered to talk to him. The only reason Tan Xiu Teng accompanied him to Blue Dawn City was due to the orders of Meng Tian Feng, the ancestor of the Meng clan. After all, Tan Xiu Teng served Meng Tian Feng.
Meng Yu Zheng also knew that Tan Xiu Teng only agreed to stay in Blue Dawn City and look for an opportunity to kill Duan Ling Tian because he said that he would lend Tan Xiu Teng the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. Otherwise, how could someone like Tan Xiu Teng listen to his orders?
Meng Yu Zheng could hardly contain his excitement as he responded to Tan Xiu Teng’s message. “Uncle Tan! You… Did you manage to kill Li Feng?”
Tan Xiu Teng did not answer Meng Yu Zheng’s question. Instead, he said, “Young Master Meng, if you want to know the answer, meet me a few thousand miles south of the city. At that time, I’ll hand the Floating Image Pearl to you. In exchange, you’ll lend me the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity.
“I know you’ve sworn on the Heaven Vault’s Blood Oath that you’ll lend me the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity after I completed my task. However, I’m afraid that if our exchange takes place in the city, your ancestor might be alerted and stop the exchange. He might even confiscate the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity from you at that time.”
Meng Yu Zheng did not doubt Tan Xiu Teng at all. He quickly said, “I understand your concerns, Uncle Tan. You said a few thousand miles south of the city, right? I’m on my way now!”
Meng Yu Zheng was desperate and could not wait to get his hands on the Floating Image Pearl that recorded Tan Xiu Teng killing ‘Li Feng’. With the Floating Image Pearl, he would be able to stop the Heart Devil from forming.
In fact, Meng Yu Zheng would not doubt Tan Xiu Teng much if Tan Xiu Teng said that he had killed Duan Ling Tian. However, to be safe, he wanted proof, and he needed to watch the recording of Tan Xiu Teng killing Li Feng. It was not only to stop the Heart Devil from forming, but he also wanted to watch it because he knew he would derive pleasure from watching Li Feng die!
“Li Feng, in the end, you’re no match for me,” Meng Yu Zheng muttered to himself with a scoff before he flew south toward the agreed-upon meeting place at a high speed, leaving the Meng clan.
Since the distance was not very far from the Meng clan, he did not see a need to bring another person with him and went alone. In his opinion, there was no danger in going alone. After all, within 100,000 miles of Green Billow City, there were very few people who did not know him, the most outstanding one among the younger generation in the Meng clan. Due to his status, even those who were stronger than him did not dare to provoke him.
From the beginning to the end, it did not cross Meng Yu Zheng’s mind at all that Tan Xiu Teng would trick him. After all, if Tan Xiu Teng wanted to harm him, Tan Xiu Teng had plenty of chances to do so during their journey to Blue Dawn City, to and fro. There was no need for Tan Xiu Teng to wait until now. Moreover, even after Tan Xiu Teng knew that he possessed the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, Tan Xiu Teng did not make a move at all during their journey back to Green Billow City even though he was unaccompanied by Meng Tian Feng. At that time, he had left with a few members of the Meng clan while Meng Tian Feng left on his own. If Tan Xiu Teng wanted to harm him at that time, Tan Xiu Teng’s success was almost guaranteed.
…
A few thousand miles south of Green Billow City.
Apart from a stretch of mountain range and endless yellow sand, there was no plant at all. It was as though plants had been forbidden to grow in this place.
At this moment, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged in the air with his eyes closed. At the same time, faint green flames danced around his body, looking like sabers at times. Apart from the spatial ring that he wore on his finger, there was a huge and heavy token hanging from his waist. If there were a skilled blacksmith present, he or she would be able to sense the slight fluctuations from the token, and he or she would be able to tell that the token was a spatial artifact.
At this time, the middle-aged man, Tan Xiu Teng, projected his voice into the token and said, “Young master, my Divine Consciousness sensed that Meng Yu Zheng is about to arrive. He came alone. I’m sure he doesn’t suspect or doubt anything. After all, in his mind, if I wanted to harm him, I had plenty of opportunities to do so three years ago. Moreover, he’s not afraid that anyone will look for trouble with him in this area… I can sense that he’s in a hurry. It’s obvious that he can’t wait to get his hands on the Floating Image Pearl that supposedly contains the recording of your death.”
“Mmm,” Duan Ling Tian, who was in the spatial artifact, responded indifferently when he heard Tan Xiu Teng’s words.
In fact, it would be more convenient if Duan Ling Tian had hidden in Tan Xiu Teng’s Little World. However, it was fine for someone weaker to enter one’s Little World, but the same could not be the same for someone stronger. As such, he did not force Tan Xiu Teng, who was clearly worried about this, even if he could force Tan Xiu Teng to do so due to the master-servant contract.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian responded, someone exclaimed, “Uncle Tan, you’re finally back after three years!”
When Meng Yu Zheng arrived, Tan Xiu Teng opened his eyes and rose to his feet. Then, he feigned an apologetic expression and said, “I’m sorry for making you come all this way… However, I’m really worried…”
Meng Yu Zheng did not wait for Tan Xiu Teng to finish speaking and quickly interjected, “Uncle Tan, you don’t have to explain yourself. I understand. Where’s the Floating Image Pearl that recorded you when you killed Li Feng? Hurry up and show me!”
