Chapter 2064: A Plan to Leave the Fire Worship Sect

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Ox Devil that was about 4 meters tall only possessed a cultivation base at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. With its strength, it was only wishful thinking if it thought it could escape from the Saint Devil Puppet that Duan Ru Feng controlled. After all, the Saint Devil Puppet that Duan Ru Feng controlled had strength comparable to a powerhouse at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. The Ox Devil would not be able to endure a single hit from the Saint Devil Puppet.

It did not take long before the Ox Devil that could be considered as an elite warrior from the Ox Devil Clan was killed by the Saint Devil Puppet that Duan Ru Feng controlled. After he had killed the Ox Devil, he had absorbed its blood essence as well.

Although Duan Ru Feng knew of the technique to absorb blood essence because Black Nether had done so using his body in the past, he had never tried it before. Due to its taboo nature, he had never attempted it. This was why his strength was inferior to Dugu.

Ever since Dugu broke through to the Quintessential Saint Stage, he had used the technique of absorbing blood essences on many powerhouses in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. For this reason, his cultivation base quickly approached the Saint Celestial Stage! However, Duan Ru Feng’s refusal to absorb humans’ blood essences did not mean he had the same qualms when it came to absorbing devils’ blood essences.

Duan Ru Feng did not hesitate when he absorbed the blood essence of the Ox Devil who came from the Land of Exile!

“It’s a pity my current Soul Energy is insufficient for me to cast the Soul Searching Secret Tactic on it. Otherwise, I might gain some information from it.” Various expressions flitted across Duan Ru Feng’s face after he absorbed the Ox Devil’s blood essence.

‘I don’t know if this Ox Devil is the only one who managed to pass through the space barrier to the Dao Martial Saint Land or an entire hoard of Ox Devils manage to cross over as well,’ Duan Ru Feng thought to himself as a hint of dread appeared in his eyes. ‘Regardless, it’s best if I go into closed-door cultivation for now to properly absorb the Ox Devil’s blood essence. As soon as that’s done, I should be able to break through to the Saint Celestial Stage!’

Although Duan Ru Feng was not certain about the situation regarding the Ox Devil Clan, an ominous feeling rose in his heart. He felt as though the Dao Martial Saint Land was about to return to the Human-Devil Era!

If they intended to survive a chaotic time such as the Human-devil Era, they needed to get stronger. Otherwise, they would eventually be killed and their blood essences absorbed by the devils. They would only serve to strengthen the devils.

Whether it was for himself or for his loved ones and the Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ru Feng must become stronger in a short time! This was the only way he could protect the people he loved during such dangerous times!

After speaking to Tong Zhong and instructing him to speak to the Black Armored Guards, Duan Ru Feng left in a hurry and returned to the Main Mansion to go into closed-door cultivation.

The Black Armored Guards stared at Duan Ru Feng’s departing figure in a daze. It took a while before they regained their senses. They could be considered lucky to be in the Azure Cloud Mansion. After all, they had a powerful Mansion Master who managed to kill an elite warrior from the Ox Devil Clan.

The people from the Mountainshade Black Market were undoubtedly lucky as well. Their leader was strong enough to keep them safe and sound from the elite warriors of the Ox Devil Clan.

However, the other quasi-third-rate forces were not as fortunate. For instance, the quasi third-rate force that Duan Ling Tian had been in, the Mystical Sky Mansion, was annihilated by an elite warrior from the Ox Devil Clan. Many of Mystical Sky Mansion’s high-ranking officials and disciples were killed and devoured. There were only a few lucky Mystical Sky Mansion’s high-ranking officials and disciples who made it out of the Mystical Sky Mansion in time. One of them was Wang Fei Xuan who was fairly close to Duan Ling Tian during his time in the Mystical Sky Mansion. Moreover, she had a crush on him as well.

After Wang Fei Xuan fled the Mystical Sky Mansion, she returned to the fourth-rate force, the Tyrannical Saber Mansion. However, she discovered the Tyrannical Saber Mansion in ruins. Many lives were lost and corpses were strewn all over the place. Her grandfather was killed before his blood essence was absorbed, turning him into a dried corpse.

“Grandpa!” Wang Fei Xuan kneeled by her grandfather’s body as tears flowed down her face. Her delicate appearance would rouse others’ sympathy if they were to see her.

After a while, Wang Fei Xuan stopped crying and wiped the tears off her face. Her eyes flashed coldly. A flame of hatred rose in her heart.

“The minotaur-like monster called himself an elite warrior from the Ox Devil clan… What’s the Ox Devil Clan?” Wang Fei Xuan was confused since she had never heard of the Ox Devil Clan before.

The Ox Devil Clan seemed to have appeared out of thin air. Moreover, the Ox Devil who claimed he was an elite warrior of the clan seemed to possess heaven-defying strength as well! Even someone as strong as the Mansion Master of the Mystical Sky Mansion was killed in just a blow!

A sense of helplessness rose within Wang Fei Xuan when she recalled the scene of the Ox Devil slaughtering the people in the Mystical Sky Mansion.

Was there hope for revenge? Would she be able to seek revenge?

After leaving the Tyrannical Saber Mansion, Wang Fei Xuan walked around aimlessly. Along the way, she saw a lot of dried corpses strewn all over the place. The corpses brought along with it unwanted memories, causing her to almost break down!

For some inexplicable reason, Wang Fei Xuan found herself heading in the direction of the Azure Cloud Mansion. Maybe it was because the person she liked was the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion or maybe she knew the Azure Cloud Mansion was strong so it would safer there? Whatever the reasons were, she found herself there.

…

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian who was in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land was unaware of the chaos breaking out in the Lower Province.

After he turned down the Fire Worship Sect’s Guardian Elder Qing Huo’s offer to take him as a direct disciple, Duan Ling Tian stealthily made his way to the Saint Land disciples’ residence on the Saint Island. He had stayed there for a while in the past.

Duan Ling Tian had come here today to find a person. This person was none other than the Saint Land disciple whom he had asked for direction from when he first arrived in the Saint Land. This person was Guan Xiu!

When Duan Ling Tian challenged Yang Wen to a Death Duel, Guan Xiu had betted heavily on him without any hesitation at all. For this reason, although he did not interact with Guan Xiu much, he could tell he was a reliable and kind person.

Duan Ling Tian planned to ask him for help to leave the Fire Worship Sect.

“Senior Brother Ling Tian!” Guan Xiu was extremely excited and passionately greeted Duan Ling Tian when he saw him. He had personally witnessed Duan Ling Tian’s meteoric rise in the Saint Land.

“Guan Xiu,” Duan Ling Tian responded with a smile.

‘Senior Brother Ling Tian, you still remember me?’ Guan Xiu was pleasantly surprised when Duan Ling Tian called his name.

“Of course I remember you. Otherwise, why would I be here?” Duan Ling Tian said teasingly.

“Is there a reason you came to look for me?” Guan Xiu asked curiously as he tried to suppress his excitement.

“Yes. I hope you’ll do me a favor,” Duan Ling Tian said without beating around the bush.

“How can I help, Senior Brother Ling Tian? I won’t refuse you if it’s within my capability to help!” Guan Xiu said solemnly when he learned about the purpose of Duan Ling Tian’s visit.

Put aside the fact that Duan Ling Tian had helped Guan Xiu earned so many Contribution Points in the Palace of Death, he was honored Duan Ling Tian had come to him for help!

“It’s nothing difficult…” Duan Ling Tian said before he got into the details. He needed Guan Xiu to bring something out of the Fire Worship Sect and put it near the barren hills that were located thousands of miles south of the Fire Worship Sect. The thing he wanted Guan Xiu to bring out of the Fire Worship Sect was a small box that could not be placed in a Spatial Ring. Most importantly, stability must be maintained throughout the journey. It could not be shaken, not even a little bit!

“You can find the small box on the branch of that tree tomorrow morning. I’ll place it on the branch to the left,” Duan Ling Tian said as he pointed to a tree in the residence of the Saint Land disciple. “You only have to deliver the box to its destination. After you deliver it, you may leave immediately,” Duan Ling Tian instructed Guan Xiu.

Guan Xiu nodded in agreement.

“What kind of box is it? It can’t be placed in a Spatial Ring, and it can’t be shaken. It doesn’t matter. Since it’s Senior Brother Ling Tian, I’ll just do as he said.” After Duan Ling Tian left, Guan Xiu had a lot of questions on his mind, but after a while, he dismissed all those thoughts.

Guan Xiu would never expect that Duan Ling Tian was actually getting him to smuggle him out of the sect. The box contained the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Duan Ling Tian would be in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. As long as little box was not shaken and its stability was maintained, he would not be expelled from the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.

This was why Duan Ling Tian had stressed on the importance of keeping the box stable to Guan Xiu.

It could be seen that Duan Ling Tian had thought long and hard before he came up with this plan to leave the Fire Worship Sect!
