Chapter 2278 Causing An Uproar!
Everyone in the Wandering Saint Palace was excited that Duan Ling Tian had become their Vice Palace Master, but Duan Ling Tian was unsure of how to respond to Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace. He stood in the mansion of Lu Wei whom he had killed while he held the Identity Token that was given to him by the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace.
Duan Ling Tian stared at Yuwen Hao Chen in confusion. Yuwen Hao Chen was dead set on attacking him earlier, but his attitude seemed to have taken a 180 degrees turn, it was only natural that Duan Ling Tian was caught by surprise. Not only did Yuwen Hao Chen give him an Identity Token, but he had also made an announcement to the Wandering Saint Palace that Duan Ling Tian was now a Vice Palace Master.
Yuwen Hao Chen suddenly looked at Duan Ling Tian and said with a smile, “Vice Palace Master Duan, welcome to Wandering Saint Palace. I hope you’ll work with the other Vice Palace Masters to uphold the palace’s rules. Be fair and strict to everyone and conduct yourself accordingly!” Yuwen Hao Chen said. It seemed like he was trying to tell Duan Ling Tian to behave as suited to his new position, and that he should not act as he pleased and flout the rules in Wandering Saint Palace.
“Yes, Palace Master.” Duan Ling Tian, naturally, understood the underlying message in Yuwen Hao Chen’s words. He was more than happy to comply with Yuwen Hao Chen’s wish since all his enemies in the Wandering Saint Palace had been killed. It was unlikely that he would make new enemies in the Wandering Saint Palace. Even if someone went against him, it was still within the palace’s rules to kill them if they dared to make the first move.
Yuwen Hao Chen nodded when Duan Ling Tian assented to his words. Then, he looked at Huang Wen Jing who was standing near Duan Ling Tian and said, “Wen Jing, I still have some urgent matters to attend to. Please help Vice Palace Master Duan, his wife, and daughter to settle down.” He left like a gust of wind after he finished speaking.
No…!’ Huang Qi Ling thought to himself as his expression changed when he heard Yuwen Hao Chen’s words.
The cold expression on Huang Wen ling’s beautiful face changed instantly as well when she heard Yuwen Hao Chen’s words. ‘His wife and daughter? He already has a wife and daughter?’ She thought to herself. She had followed her master here, not knowing that Duan Ling Tian did not come alone. How could she have known that Duan Ling Tian had brought his wife and daughter with him to the Wandering Saint Palace as well?
“You!” Huang Wen Jing turned around and looked at Duan Ling Tian, asking in disbelief, “Is it true that you have a wife and daughter?” Her voice trembled slightly when she spoke, she was different from her usual self. Her cold expression was replaced with a perturbed and nervous expression, and it seemed like she had lost her usual calm.
Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded without any hesitation. As though he was rubbing salt on Huang Wen Jing’s wound, he added, “I have two wives, a son, and a daughter. One of my wives and daughter came with me to the Wandering Saint Palace.”
Duan Ling Tian was not a young chap who was clueless about romance. He knew that Huang Wen Jing harbored romantic feelings for him so he decided to put a stop to it by telling her about his wives and children. Although Duan Ling Tian did not spend a lot of time with her, he could tell she was a proud woman who would not share her man with another woman.
Huang Wen Jing felt her heart ache when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. Her beautiful face paled immediately.
After a while, she turned to look at him and asked in an upset tone, “H-How come you didn’t mention this when we met?”
Duan Ling Tian frowned slightly when he heard the dissatisfaction in Huang Wen Jing’s tone. He was rendered speechless for a moment before he said, “Why didn’t I tell you about it when we met? If I’m not mistaken, you didn’t ask me, right? Why would I say anything about it if you didn’t even ask?” He sighed. He knew he had hurt this girl’s feelings.
Huang Wen Jing trembled slightly as colors continued to drain from her face. She felt as though Duan Ling Tian’s words had pierced her heart. “It’s true that I didn’t ask you about it. There’s no reason for you to tell me about it as well!” After a while, she said coldly to Huang Qi Ling through Voice Transmission, “Huang Qi Ling, I’ll leave him to you.” After that, she quickly flew away.
Huang Qi Ling smiled stiffly when he heard Huang Wen Jing’s Voice Transmission.
Meanwhile, Huang Wen Jing flew away to another place where Duan Ling Tian and Huang Qi Ling could not see her before she broke down in tears. She had liked that man since a year ago. During this past year, the man had burrowed himself deeper into her heart even though all she was doing was cultivating. Her feelings for him grew to the point where she felt it would be difficult to live without him.
Love and romance were mysterious things. It only took one year for Huang Wen Jing to fall deeply in love with Duan Ling Tian. It was due to her deep feelings that she failed to maintain her composure and broke down in tears when she heard that he had two wives and two children. She could feel her heart breaking at that moment. Her perfect dream had shattered. The joy she felt when she found out Duan Ling Tian had come to the Wandering Saint Palace felt like a joke to her now!
Duan Ling Tian only smiled wryly when he saw Huang Wen Jing’s hurried departure.
Huang Qi Ling sighed before he turned to Duan Ling Tian and said, “Brother Ling Tian, Sister Wen Jing asked me to help you settle down before she left.”
“Okay,” Duan Ling Tian nodded before he said, “In that case, we should return to my family now.”
As Duan Ling Tian and Huang Qi Ling made their way back, Huang Qi Ling forced a smile on his face and said, “Brother Ling Tian, please forgive Sister Wen Jing for the way she acted earlier. Since she was young, she has been the pride of Wandering Saint Palace. She’s used to being proud. All this time, many men have pursued her, but she had no interest in anyone until she met you. Although I knew she likes you, I didn’t expect her feelings to be so deep.” It was not difficult for him to see how deeply Huang Wen Jing loved Duan Ling Tian based on her actions earlier.
Duan Ling Tian only remained silent.
While Huang Qi Ling helped Duan Ling Tian and his family to settle down. News of what happened in the Wandering Saint Palace spread like a wildfire to the Human-Devil Saint City. The Wandering Saint City was one of the nine great forces in the Human-Devil clan after all. It was only natural that people would pay close attention to what was happening.
In the Crimson Blaze Palace’s estate.
“Have you heard about the powerhouse who broke into the Wandering Saint Palace’s estate and killed two elders from Wandering Saint Palace. Lin Yuan is one of the Wandering Saint Palace elders who was killed!”
“Lin Yuan? Isn’t he the elder from Wandering Saint Palace who was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage? He’s dead? Who killed him?”
“I heard it was the same young man who killed Lin Qi Gang, Lin Yuan’s grandson, a year ago.”
“What?! You’re saying the young man who killed Lin Yuan’s grandson, Lin Qi Gang, a year ago is capable of killing Lin Yuan as well?”
“What’s even more shocking is that the young man only used two moves to kill Lin Yuan!”
“Two moves? You must be joking!”
News of this caused an uproar when it reached the Crimson Blaze Palace, one of the major factions from the Three Palaces and Six Halls in the Human-Devil clan.
In the Great Spirit Palace’s estate.
“What happened to the young man in the end? Did the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace kill him?”
“He’s so bold as to break into the Wandering Saint Palace’s estate to kill their elders. He’s seeking death!”
The Celestial Ascension Tribulation is close for the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace Master. Based on his strength, very few are a match for him in the Human-Devil clan, apart from Eminent Devils. If he attacks that young man, that young man would definitely die!”
Someone laughed. “I’m afraid all of you are going to be disappointed. The young man didn’t die!”
“What?!”
Similarly, the news caused an uproar in the Great Spirit Palace, also another faction from the Three Palaces and Six Halls in the Human-Devil clan.
The Azure Sheen Hall’s estate.
“That young man didn’t die? Did he escape before the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace Master arrived?”
“No. Apparently, he didn’t go to the Wandering Saint Palace to kill the people there. His intention was to join the Wandering Saint Palace. He’s a solitary pure human cultivator!”
“What?! He… He’s a solitary Devil Cultivator?!”
“How did a solitary Devil Cultivator become so strong? He killed the Wandering Saint Palace elders in two moves. This means it’s very likely that he’s at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!”
“So he has joined the Wandering Saint Palace?”
Apart from the Crimson Blaze Palace, the Great Spirit Palace, and the Azure Sheen Hall, this shocking news had also spread to the other factions from the Three Palaces and Six Halls.
Yuwen Hao Chen has named Duan Ling Tian, the young man, as a Vice Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace!”
“It seems like the Wandering Saint Palace has gained another powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!”
Initially, there were a few people who rejoiced over the deaths of the elders from Wandering Saint Palace who were at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage since the Wandering Saint Palace’s strength would weaken. However, when they found out that Wandering Saint Palace had gained a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, they were dumbfounded. Did this not mean that the Wandering Saint Palace had only gotten stronger?
