Chapter 3855: An Agreement Between Both Sects
While Xue Ming Zhi and Kuang Tian Zheng discussed ways to kill Duan Ling Tian, a group of uninvited guests appeared at the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate. This group of people was the same group of people led by the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect who came to declare the Imperial War on the Flying Dragon Sect previously.
“Sect Leader Luo, I wonder what brings you to the Flying Dragon Sect now that the Imperial War has begun,” Long Qing Chong, the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, asked.
The Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect was a proud and dignified-looking middle-aged man. He smiled and replied, “Sect Leader Long, the fights in the King Battlefield are in full swing. Since the Imperial War began, both sects have lost more than 100 Kings of Gods.”
Upon hearing this, Long Qing Chong said with a slight smile on his face, “To be precise, the Tai Yi Sect has lost more than 160 Kings of Gods while our Flying Dragon Sect has lost a little more than 100 Kings of Gods.”
The Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect maintained the smile on his face as he said, “Sect Leader Long, if it weren’t because we summoned Ximen Long Xiang out of the King Battlefield, I’m afraid the death toll for the Kings of Gods in the Flying Dragon Sect would be much higher.”
Long Qing Chong laughed. “Sect Leader Luo, what do you mean? It’s impossible to communicate with those on the battlefields in the Imperial War Realm and vice versa. What do you mean by you summoned Ximen Long Xiang out of the King Battlefield?”
The Sect Leader of Tai Yi Sect shook his head and said, “Sect Leader Long, you should know that twins have telepathic abilities. After attaining godhood, the telepathic bond would grow stronger as well. This means twins could sense it when one or the other is in danger.”
Long Qing Chong raised an eyebrow. “You mean to say Ximen Long Xiang has a twin brother in the Tai Yi Sect?”
Long Qing Chong naturally knew about the telepathic bonds between twins. There were disciples in the Flying Dragon Sect who were twins as well, after all.
The Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect shook his head and said, “No, he has a twin sister. Ximen Long Xiang and his twin sister, Ximen Yu, are the direct disciples of our Supreme Elder Lu Zhan Tu. Lu Zhan Tu is my Senior Granduncle. A few days ago, through Ximen Yun, he managed to summon Ximen Long Xiang out of the King Battlefield.”
Long Qing Chong was vaguely aware of the situation in the Tai Yi Sect through the information sent by the spies he had planted in the Tai Yi Sect. He did not know the specifics, but he knew that Ximen Long Xiang had left the King Battlefield. He was unaware that Ximen Long Xiang had been summoned out through his twin sister, Ximen Yun.
After a moment, Long Qing Chong looked at the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect and asked, “Sect Leader Luo, did you come to propose a life-or-death duel between Duan Ling Tian and Ximen Long Xiang?”
Long Qing Chong knew that Ximen Long Xian had previously entered the King Battlefield because of Duan Ling Tian. However, the King Battlefield was vast, and the chances of the duo running into each other were very low.
Long Qing Chong did not wait for the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect’s reply as he continued to say, “If that’s the purpose of your visit, I’m afraid that I can’t promise you anything. I’ll leave this up to Duan Ling Tian to decide since I have no right to decide on his behalf.”
Perhaps, if it was just an ordinary disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect, Long Qing Chong would have decided on the disciple’s behalf. However, Duan Ling Tian was different.
This was the same for the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect. He could not make decisions on Ximen Long Xiang’s behalf as well.
“Sect Leader Long, you’ve misunderstood me,” the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect shook his head and said, “I came to discuss another matter with you. I didn’t come to issue a life-or-death challenge on Ximen Long Xiang’s behalf.”
“Oh?” Long Qing Chong cocked an eyebrow.
The Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect said seriously, “Sect Leader Long, I’m sure you’re aware that it’s unfair to the Kings of Gods from both our sects if Duan Ling Tian and Ximen Long Xiang are on the King Battlefield. Even if the Kings of Gods formed groups, they might not be able to escape from Duan Ling Tian and Ximen Long Xiang. Perhaps, if they are in a group of 100, they might have a chance to escape.” He paused briefly before he continued to say, “I came to tell you that from today onward, Ximen Long Xiang won’t be entering the King Battlefield anymore. I hope you’ll be able to persuade Duan Ling Tian to do the same.”
Long Qing Chong’s eyes glinted as he asked, “Did Ximen Long Xiang agree to this?”
“I wouldn’t have come if he disagreed,” the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect replied.
Long Qing Chong nodded. “Very well. I’ll have to ask for Duan Ling Tian’s opinion.
“Of course.”
…
Duan Ling Tian was in the midst of cultivating when he was woken up by Xue Hai Chuan.
For Xue Hai Chuan to wake him from his cultivation, he knew it had to be for an urgent matter.
“Brother Hai Chuan, what’s the matter?”
Xue Hai Chuan sighed. “The sect leader sent me over to speak to you. He wants me to tell you that he’s willing to give you another 200,000 contribution points if you promise not to step foot into the King Battlefield from now on.”
“What’s the reason for this?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised. In fact, he had long decided that he would not be returning to the King Battlefield.
“If you agree, Ximen Long Xiang will also stop going into the King Battlefield. Ximen Long Xiang has killed more than 60 of our Kings of Gods, after all. He could have killed more if he entered the King Battlefield earlier,” Xue Hai Chuan said.
“I see.”
Duan Ling Tian had heard about Ximen Long Xiang when he was in Peace City. At that time, he heard many Tai Yi Sect disciples saying that he would have died if he ran into Ximen Long Xiang on the King Battlefield. Later on, through Dongfang Yan Nian, he had also learned more about the most outstanding prodigy in the Tai Yi Sect.
“Brother Hai Chuan, please tell the sect leader I won’t enter the King Battlefield anymore. However, instead of 200,000 contribution points, I’d like a few medicinal herbs,” Duan Ling Tian said before he listed out a few rare medicinal herbs.
These medicinal herbs could be found in Peace City, but they cost about 1,000 war points each. This was a good chance for him to save his war points for other rarer ingredients. These medicinal herbs he listed were quite rare. If they were available in the Flying Dragon Sect, they would cost fewer than 100,000 contribution points. Unless one traveled far away from the Flying Dragon Sect, one could only obtain them through luck.
“I need these things within three years,” Duan Ling Tian said.
After assessing his cultivation speed and growth, he confirmed that he would need the ingredients he listed to refine divine pills that would help boost his cultivation. At that time, he should only be a step away from becoming a Lord of Gods.
“I’ll speak to the sect leader at once,” Xue Hai Chuan said before sending a message to Long Qing Chong.
Long Qing Chong’s reply came very swiftly. “Tell him that it’s a deal.”
Long Qing Chong felt rather regretful at this moment. If he had known earlier, he would have given Duan Ling Tian 200,000 contribution points instead of 300,000 contribution points. After all, Duan Ling Tian did not seem to care much about the contribution points.
After listening to Xue Hai Chuan’s reply, a wide smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face as he said, “Please thank the sect leader for his kindness on behalf.”
Then, as though he just recalled something, Duan Ling Tian said, “Brother Hai Chuan, I met Lady Seven on the King Battlefield previously. She’s one of two leaders selected to lead a group of 100 Kings of Gods. Hence, she’s quite safe.”
“I know.” Xue Hai Chuan nodded.
Finally, Duan Ling Tian could not help but ask, “Brother Hai Chuan, is there something going on between the both of you?”
“Don’t misunderstand us,” Xue Hai Chuan replied when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s meaningful gaze, “She’s the daughter of an old friend of mine. When she met me previously, she was helping her mother to relay a few messages to me. I asked you to keep an eye on her for her mother’s sake.”
Xue Hai Chuan sighed after being reminded about the past.
“I see.” Duan Ling Tian could sense Xue Hai Chuan was not in a good mood so he quickly excused himself and returned to cultivating.
…
Half a year later.
In a corner of the Flying Dragon’s estate.
A hoarse voice brimming with determination said, “It’s decided then. We’ll get someone to lure him out of the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate by saying there’s a Divine Sanctuary left behind by an advanced Emperor of Gods. He definitely won’t be able to resist the temptation.”
