War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens Chapter 2851

Chapter 2851 - Gone Out For Wool And Come Home Shorn

“That’s right.” The expression of Lian Cheng Yi, the Sect Leader of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect, darkened when he saw the cold gaze of He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Now that he was exposed, he could only soldier on. He said to Duan Ling Tian, “That’s right. If you’re willing to join the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect and become our sect’s Celestial Alchemist, our sect will satisfy each of your requests as long as they’re within our means.” Since Duan Ling Tian had revealed his intention, there was no longer any need for him to hide his intention as well. Since he had already offended He Shan, the matter could not possibly get any worse. Moreover, a Celestial Alchemist like Duan Ling Tian was a talent, a valuable asset. He was most likely just an interim Revered Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. He Shan could not restrict Duan Ling Tian’s freedom and stop Duan Ling Tian from leaving. No one could say anything even if Lian Cheng Yi openly invited Duan Ling Tian to join his sect. At most, people would say he valued talented people.

“Lian Cheng Yi!” He Shan bellowed as he glared at Lian Cheng Yi, “It’s disrespectful and unbecoming of you to poach my Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s talent right under my nose!”

Upon hearing that, Lian Cheng Yi turned to He Shan and said, “Senior He Shan, there’s an old saying, ‘Birds pick the best tree to perch on’. If Master Duan truly intends to stay in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, no matter what I say or what benefits I offer, he still won’t join my Supporting Sun Celestial Sect. If he decides to join my sect, it simply means the Tai Yi Celestial Sect isn’t giving him enough to make him stay!” Then, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and said with a faint smile, “Master Duan, I’ve stated my offer, is there anything else you’d like to add to it?”

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Lian Cheng Yi before he shifted his eyes away, “Your Supporting Sun Celestial Sect’s Master Guan’s displeases me…”

Upon hearing this, Guan Qi Fei, the prominent Celestial Alchemist from the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect, who was standing next to Lian Cheng Yi glared at Duan Ling Tian murderously as though he wanted to tear Duan Ling Tian into a million pieces. Before Duan Ling Tian revealed his ability to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill, he had only regarded Duan Ling Tian with contempt. Now that he had seen Duan Ling Tian’s high innate talent in alchemy, he knew Duan Ling Tian had a bright future ahead of him. Naturally, he wished that Duan Ling Tian would die. Otherwise, when Duan Ling Tian rose in ranks later, Duan Ling Tian might look for trouble with him. As a vindictive person, he, naturally, assumed Duan Ling Tian was like him. He did not know that Duan Ling Tian did not care about him at all. In Duan Ling Tian’s eyes, he was but a clown.

Duan Ling Tian had seen the murderous glint in Guan Qi Fei’s eyes so he said, “Why don’t you… kill him for me?”

Whoosh!

Guan Qi Fei’s expression changed drastically when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would request this as part of his condition to join the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect. He had been in the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect for many years. Based on his understanding of Lian Cheng Yi, Lian Cheng Yi would definitely not hesitate to kill him if it meant Duan Ling Tian would join the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect. He stared at Lian Cheng Yi warily, his guards up. He was prepared to detonate his prominent Celestial Fire if it was necessary.

“Impossible!” Lian Cheng Yi sternly said, “Master Guan is one of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect’s Revered Elders. The Supporting Sun Celestial Sect will protect him and will never harm him. I’m sorry, but I can’t agree to this. Please make another request, Master Duan.”

“Forget it. I have no wish to force you.” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly.

On the other hand, Guan Qi Fei stared at Lian Cheng Yi in surprise. He did not expect Lian Cheng Yi would take his side. This changed his view of Lian Cheng Yi. In fact, he was somewhat moved by this. He even felt guilty when he thought about how he had planned to leave the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect after the Alchemy Conference. With this, he let his guard down and no longer maintained his connection with his prominent Grade Celestial Fire to detonate it at a moment’s notice.

“Sect leader, Duan Ling Tian is a cunning one. In the beginning, he had acted as though he couldn’t refine the Overarching Heaven Pill to deceive us,” Guan Qi Fei looked at Lian Cheng Yi and said, “You must not believe his words!”

Not only Duan Ling Tian and those from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were speechless, but the crowd was speechless as well when they heard Guan Qi Fei’s words. In the first place, Duan Ling Tian did not deliberately do anything. It was their own ignorance that led them to assume someone who was not even 100 years old was not capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill.

“I know.” Lian Cheng Yi nodded and smiled at Guan Qi Fei. “Master Guan, don’t worry. The Supporting Sun Celestial Sect won’t just throw you away for another prominent Celestial who’s capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill.”

“Thank you, sect leader.” Guan Qi Fei hurriedly bowed as he thanked Lian Cheng Yi. As he bowed, he failed to notice a cold glint that flashed in Lian Cheng Yi’s eyes.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In just a split second, two beams of grey light shot out of Lian Cheng Yi’s eyes before they merged into the form of an eagle-like shadow.

Bang!

Before Guan Qi Fei straightened his back, the shadow landed on him. Outwardly, it did not seem to cause him any harm. However, the Celestial Dukes present on the scene could clearly see the eagle-like shadow had vanished into Guan Qi Fei’s body.

‘It’s a soul attack!’ He Shan’s eyes widened in shock. ‘Lian Cheng Yi actually killed Guan Qi Fei for Master Duan!’

Bang!

In just a second, Guan Qi Fei toppled to the ground with a crash. His body was as stiff as a statue. The sound of his body crashing to the ground was exceptionally loud due to how silent the surroundings were.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

“The Sect Leader of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect is really vicious!”

Initially, most of the onlookers were confused. However, with the explanation from some of the Celestial Dukes, they learned about what happened. At this moment, most of them regarded Lian Cheng Yi with fear and wariness.

“Guan Qi Fei provoked the Tai Yi Celestial Sect for no reason and caused the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect to lose one of its precious Duke Grade Celestial Method… Since he’s just an interim Revered Elder of the sect, his punishment has been halved. I’ve given him an easy death!” Lian Cheng Yi explained as everyone’s attention was focused on him. As the Sect Leader of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect, he was certainly not foolish. If he had openly said he had killed Guan Qi Fei due to Duan Ling Tian’s request, he would definitely gain a terrible reputation. Everyone would think he was vile and had no morals in pursuit of benefits. Who would dare to join the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect as an interim Revered Elder at that time? In order to avoid gaining a bad reputation, he had killed Guan Qi Fei under the pretext that Guan Qi Fei had wronged the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect.

Lian Cheng Yi said to Duan Ling Tian, “Master Duan, since I’ve already killed Master Guan, I hope you’ll keep your word and join the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect.” At the same time, he sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian as well. His Voice Transmission was vastly different from what he had openly said.

Upon hearing Lian Cheng Yi’s Voice Transmission, Duan Ling Tian openly replied, “Sect Leader Lian, why did you send me a Voice Transmission saying you killed Guan Qi Fei for me when you just told everyone you killed him because he caused the loss of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect’s Duke Grade Cultivation Method?”

Lian Cheng Yi looked at Duan Ling Tian with killing intent as he said through Voice Transmission, “Master Duan, don’t try to act dumb. If it weren’t for you, do you think I’ll kill Master Guan who was a prominent Celestial Alchemist?”

“I don’t know what you’re getting at,” Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently through Voice Transmission, “Sect Leader Lian, you can still convince me to join the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect if you openly admit that you killed Master Guan for me.”

“Master Duan, are you trying to get something from nothing?” Lian Cheng Yi’s voice was cold. He seemed like he was about to attack at any given moment.

“Trying to get something from nothing?” Duan Ling Tian continued to say through Voice Transmission, “Where did that come from? Sect Leader Lian, if you’re too embarrassed to say it, I can do you a favor…”

“Duan Ling Tian, if you dare spit out another word, the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect will hunt you down until you die!” At this moment, Liang Cheng Yi finally realized Duan Ling Tian was messing with him. He took a deep breath to calm down before he said, “Senior He Shan, congratulations for having such a remarkable prominent Celestial Alchemist like Master Duan in your sect! Goodbye!” Then, he turned to leave, acting as though he had nothing to hide. He no longer openly said another word to Duan Ling Tian.

After Liang Chen Yi turned around, no one saw his eyes flashing murderously. He sent a last Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian before he left, “Duan Ling Tian, I won’t let this matter go!”
