Chapter 3854 - A Plot Against Duan Ling Tian

740 war points were not enough for Duan Ling Tian. He only managed to exchange them for a few ingredients he needed to refine divine pills.

“I need about 20,000 war points to obtain all the things I need from Peace City. I won’t be able to obtain so many war points on the King Battlefield. It’s best that I focus on breaking through and becoming a Lord of Gods so I can enter the Lord Battlefield to earn more war points.”

On the King Battlefield, killing one advanced King of Gods would only give one 25 war points. On the other hand, killing a rudimentary Lords of Gods and an intermediate Lord of Gods would give one 200 war points and 2,000 war points respectively.

‘Let’s leave this place first.’ Duan Ling Tian, who was surrounded by many Flying Dragon Sect disciples, thought to himself. He finally made up his mind to leave the Imperial War Realm and return to the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.

Meanwhile, the Flying Dragon Sect members were filled with praises for Duan Ling Tian after learning that he had killed 100 Kings of Gods from the Tai Yi Sect on the King Battlefield. They were proud of Duan Ling Tian for bringing glory to the sect. Apart from that, the Kings of Gods from the Flying Dragon Sect’s morale was also boosted by Duan Ling Tian.



As soon as Duan Ling Tian returned to the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate, the voice of Long Qing Chong, the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, resounded through the entire estate.

“The Tai Yi Sect put up a reward of 300,000 contribution points in exchange for Duan Ling Tian’s life. However, Duan Ling Tian killed 100 of the Tai Yi Sect’s disciples instead. For this reason, the Flying Dragon Sect will award Duan Ling Tian with 300,000 contribution points.”

Clearly, Long Qing Chong had sensed Duan Ling Tian’s return to the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate before he made the timely announcement. Since Duan Ling Tian was not contactable in the King Battlefield, he could only wait for Duan Ling Tian’s return before he made the announcement.

As Duan Ling Tian made his way to the almost empty inner disciples’ cultivation ground, a few people walked out of the Internal Affairs Pavilion to congratulate him.

“Congratulations, Duan Ling Tian.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded with a smile to one of the elders before he asked, “Elder, how do I collect the 300,000 contribution points?”

“You want to claim them now?” the elder asked.

Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Following that, the elder sent a message. After receiving a reply, he said, “Duan Ling Tian, the sect leader has sent Vice Sect Leader Xue to personally transfer the contribution points to you.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed upon hearing these words. The Vice Sect Leader Xue that the elder mentioned should be Xue Ming Zhi. Xue Ming Zhi was also the father-in-law of Kuang Tian Zheng’s second disciple.

‘Come to think of it. I’ve yet to meet Vice Sect Leader Xue…’

When Duan Ling Tian first arrived at the Flying Dragon Sect, Xue Hai Chuan had already warned him that Xue Ming Zhi might target him because of his conflict with Kuang Tian Zheng.

Swooosh!

The sound of wind whistling in the air pulled Duan Ling Tian back to his senses. He looked up and saw a dignified middle-aged man standing in front of him.

“Greetings, Vice Sect Leader Xue.”

“Vice Sect Leader Xue.”

Xue Ming Zhi nodded in response to the elders’ greetings. Then, he shifted his eyes to Duan Ling Tian. Unlike Duan Ling Tian, this was not his first time seeing Duan Ling Tian. After all, during the Latent Dragon Grand Contest, he had hidden among the crowd to threaten Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission.

After a moment, Xue Ming Zhi forced a smile on his face. “You’re Duan Ling Tian?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded slightly in response. “Vice Sect Leader Xue.”

The elders were confused and surprised when they saw Duan Ling Tian’s cold reception of Xue Ming Zhi. After all, Duan Ling Tian had always been rather friendly to them.

“I’ll have to trouble you, Vice Sect Leader Xue,” Duan Ling Tian said expressionlessly as he handed his identity token to Xue Ming Zhi so Xue Ming Zhi could transfer 300,000 contribution points to him.

The elders were sure Xue Ming Zhi would be displeased by Duan Ling Tian’s attitude. To their surprise, Xue Ming Zhi remained unaffected as he silently transferred the contribution points to Duan Ling Tian.

“I’ll take my leave now that I’ve completed my task. Farewell,” Xue Ming Zhi said as he handed Duan Ling Tian’s identity token back to Duan Ling Tian. He knew their relationship was irreconcilable. However, he had no intention of mending his relationship with Duan Ling Tian at all. After all, he was certain Linghu Ren Jie, the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan, must have told Duan Ling Tian that he was the one who had sent someone to assassinate Linghu Ren Jie.

When Xue Ming Zhi turned away, killing intent flashed in his eyes immediately as he thought to himself, ‘I have to get rid of him as soon as possible. He’s now on par with the Tai Yi Sect’s Ximen Long Xiang. It’s likely that his strength is comparable to a rudimentary Lord of Gods now. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to dominate the King Battlefield in such an overwhelming manner and kill 100 Kings of Gods from the Tai Yi Sect in less than a year. If I don’t get rid of him fast, my daughter, son-in-law, Kuang Tian Zheng, and I will be in danger.’

Xue Ming Zhi did not return to his cultivation ground after he left. Instead, he went to look for Kuang Tian Zheng.

After Xue Ming Zhi left, the elders looked at Duan Ling Tian curiously.

One of them finally asked, “Duan Ling Tian, do you have conflicts with Vice Sect Leader Xue?”

Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile, “Before I joined the Flying Dragon Sect, Elder Kuang Tian Zheng tried to attack me while I was in the Linghu clan. At that time, I would’ve died if it weren’t for the Linghu clan’s Guarding Formation. As you all know, Kuang Tian Zheng’s second disciple is Vice Sect Leader Xue’s son-in-law.”

Following that, Duan Ling Tian did not wait for the others’ replies before he entered the Internal Affairs Pavilion.

One of the elders sighed. “Duan Ling Tian will only become stronger and stronger. If Kuang Tian Zheng doesn’t try to make amends as soon as possible, he’s going to get in trouble later.”

“Based on his attitude toward Vice Sect Leader Xue and his expression when he mentioned Elder Kuang, I don’t think their conflict can be easily resolved.”

“I think Duan Ling Tian only needs a few years before he grows strong enough to kill Elder Kuang.”

“In fact, there’s no need for him to wait for a few years to act. Didn’t you hear that the top emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion are trying to recruit him? Once he joins one of the sects, he’ll be able to deal with Kuang Tian Zheng easily.”



After browsing around in the Internal Affairs Pavilion, Duan Ling Tian bought a few things he needed before he finally returned to his cultivation ground.

He entered closed-door cultivation immediately and did not refine any divine pills to assist his cultivation. He still had many divine pills left from before, after all.



At the same time, Xue Ming Zhi and Kuang Tian Zheng finally met up.

“We can’t wait any longer. We have to kill Duan Ling Tian as soon as possible,” Xue Ming Zhi said solemnly, “He became an advanced King of Gods in such a short time. His strength is also comparable to that of a rudimentary Lord of Gods. Did you hear about what happened on the King Battlefield?”

Kuang Tian Zheng nodded. His expression was incredibly dark at this moment. “Yes, I heard about it. I agree that we can’t wait any longer. If he breaks through and becomes a rudimentary Lord of Gods, we won’t be able to kill him anymore.”

Xue Ming Zhi asked, “Didn’t you say you thought of a few ways to kill Duan Ling Tian? It’s time to act now that he has left the Imperial War Realm.”

“I’ll finalize the plan in a day or two,” Kuang Tian Zheng replied.

Xue Ming Zhi said with a grave expression, “You have to be quick. We don’t have time to waste. I won’t feel at ease until he dies.”

Kuang Tian Zheng smiled wryly. “It’s the same for me. Don’t worry, Vice Sect Leader Xue. I’ll get the two White Dragon Elders from the 10,000 Devils faction to help me. This matter won’t be traced back to you.”

Xue Ming Zhi nodded before he said, “If it’s possible, attack him at the same time. There’s something about Duan Ling Tian that makes me feel uneasy, but I can figure out the reason exactly…”
