Chapter 2170 Ke’Er 

The vice sect leader of Fire Worship Sect who stood near Tang Xuan hesitated for a moment before he said, “There’s another news, but I think it’s fake.”

“What news?” Tang Xuan asked curiously.

“It’s also related to Duan Ling Tian… Rumor has it that Duan Ling Tian publicly killed Xie Kang Xun, one of the Four Great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect, with three strikes!” The vice sect leader said.

“He killed Xie Kang Xun with three strikes?” Tang Xuan raised an eyebrow when he heard this. “If I’m not mistaken, Xie Kang Xun was one of the strongest cultivators at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Dao Martial Saint Land. It’s impossible to kill him with three strikes if one isn’t at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or higher!”

“That’s what everyone thought.” The vice sect leader nodded. “For this reason, almost no one believes this news… Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent might be amazingly high, but it’s outrageous to say he has the ability to kill Xie Kang Xun with three strikes!”

Tang Xuan nodded. He had learned a little about Duan Ling Tian. He knew it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to grow strong enough to kill Xie Kang Xun in just three years!

“Since the Devil Clans’ invasion is confirmed, we’ll have to start preparing for an invasion here. Three years are more than enough for the Devil Clans to build their base in the Lower Province. I’m afraid it won’t be long before they invade the Upper Province,” Tang Xuan said warily, “Before that happens, the Fire Worship Sect must be prepared!”

“Yes, Sect Leader,” the vice sect leader responded respectfully. However, he did not make a move to leave after that. It seemed as though he still had more he wanted to say.

“Is there anything else?” Tang Xuan asked.

After taking a deep breath, the vice sect leader mustered up his courage and asked, “Sect Leader. From what I heard, you brought the Saint Girl and her daughter out of the Enforcement Hall and even allow them to stay in your cultivation place… May I know when you’ll punish them? There are a few Vice Hall Masters from the Enforcement Hall who are dissatisfied with this matter.” The vice sect leader smiled bitterly when he finished speaking.

“A few Vice Hall Masters are dissatisfied?” Tang Xuan sneered. “Their Hall Master didn’t even say a word, who are they to feel dissatisfied? Who are they to dictate what I should do? Tell them that if they’re dissatisfied, they can come and talk to me personally. In fact, as long as they’re willing to voice their dissatisfaction, I’ll even go to them personally.” Tang Xuan became angrier as he spoke.

The vice sect leader was shocked when he saw this. He broke out in cold sweat as he hurriedly explained, “Lord Sect Leader, they’re merely asking casually. They have no intention of making a big deal out of this matter. Since you have your own plans, we should just ignore them.”

At the same time, he thought to himself, ‘It seems like Sect Leader doesn’t intend on punishing the Saint Girl… Don’t tell me Lord Sect Leader is crazy enough to believe she’s the reincarnation of a goddess? Fortunately, he’s level-headed with other matters…’

The Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect was the heart of the Fire Worship Sect. Moreover, he was also the guardian of the sect. If something happened to the sect leader, the sect would be ruined or destroyed!

Just as the vice sect leader was about to leave, TangXuan called out, “Wait!”

The vice sect leader stopped moving and turned to look at Tang Xuan. “Is there something you need, Lord Sect Leader?”

“Release a statement under my name,” Tang Xuan looked at the vice sect leader and said, “Put out a statement asking for Duan Ling Tian’s return to the Fire Worship Sect… Additionally, promise him that no one from the Fire Worship Sect will try and snatch away his Super Saint Weapon if he returns! If he doesn’t believe this, tell him he can hide the Super Saint Weapon somewhere before he returns to the sect. At that time, I, Tang Xuan, am willing to swear on the lightning penalty oath to prove my words are true!”

Based on Tang Xuan’s words, one could see he was desperate for Duan Ling Tian to return to the Fire Worship Sect.

“Lord Sect Leader… Is Duan Ling Tian worthy of you doing something like this?” The vice sect leader was stunned.

“Duan Ling Tian’s naturally unworthy of me doing such a thing,” Tang Xuan said indifferently, “However, the Devilseal Tablet he possesses is a different story. So long as he’s a disciple of the Fire Worship Sect, he and the Devilseal Tablet will be a big help to the Fire Worship Sect! Moreover, if the Devil Clans really invade the Upper Province, I think he’ll be willing to lend me the Devilseal Tablet. With my current strength, no Devils under the level of an Eminent Celestial would be a match for me.” His eyes gleamed as he spoke.

In Tang Xuan’s opinion, as long as he was able to use the Devilseal Tablet at the crucial moment, it did not matter who possessed the Devilseal Tablet. The sole purpose of the Devilseal Tablet was to deal with the Devils. Once the Devil Clans were defeated, he no longer had any use for the Devilseal Tablet! For this reason, he did not mind leaving the Devilseal Tablet in Duan Ling Tian’s possession.

After listening to Tang Xuan’s words, the vice sect leader understood what Tang Xuan meant. Then, he took his leave to fulfill the duties Tang Xuan had given him.

At the same time, Tang Xuan also returned to his place of cultivation in one of the rooms in the mansion on the floating island.

Meanwhile, in the east of Tang Xuan’s mansion, there was a spacious courtyard. This was where Tang Xuan usually received guests. Naturally, there were only a few people in the Dao Martial Saint Land who were worthy of being Tang Xuan’s guests.

Currently, two of the rooms in that courtyard were occupied by a pair of twin sisters and a little girl with cute braided pigtails who looked about seven or eight years old.

The twin sisters were Duan Ling Tian’s wife, Ke’er, and her sister Gan Ru Yan. As for the little girl, she was Duan Ling Tian and Ke’er’s daughter, Duan Si Ling.

“Yu Yan… I see that the Sect Leader is very respectful when he speaks to you. Do you know why?” Gan Ru Yan looked at Ke’er with a hint of confusion on her face. Since the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect had broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, she was even more baffled. A powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was rare in Dao Martial Saint Land. However, the Sect Leader was not arrogant when he spoke to her twin sister. In fact, he was humble and respectful as though her twin sister was someone of a higher status.

Ke’er shook her head. “I don’t know.” At this moment, she was carrying a sleeping Duan Si Ling who was tired out by her playtime. She was also baffled by this matter. “It was my first time seeing him when he came to the Enforcement Hall. I thought he would sentence me and Si Ling to death following the rules of Fire Worship Sect after he came out from closed-door cultivation. However, not only was he not angry when he saw me, but it seems like he’s walking on eggshells around me as though he’s afraid of offending me.”

Gan Ru Yan fell silent when she heard Ke’er’s words. After a moment, she sighed. “I thought he would punish me following the rules of the Fire Worship Sect when I refuse to obey him and tell him about your man… Who knew he would let me go at your request! It does seem like he’s treating you as the reincarnation of a goddess. It’s the only explanation that makes sense.”

At this point, Gan Ru Yan studied her sister from head to toe. However, she could not tell what was so special about her sister. They looked exactly alike.

Ke’er remained indifferent when she heard Gan Ru Yan’s words. She thought it was absurd. “The reincarnation of a goddess?”

Ke’er had heard from Gan Ru Yan that the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect was the only one who believed she was the reincarnation of a goddess.

The three Great Guardians and the other high-ranking officials in the Fire Worship Sect did not believe this.

“Sister! Sister!” A voice tinged with urgency rang in the air as a purple bird flew in. After it entered the room, it transformed into a girl dressed in a purple robe.

The purple-clad girl was the human form of the Super Saint Beast, the Purplecloud Thunder Roc, that always followed Gan Ru Yan around. She was also the person closest to Gan Ru Yan. She even followed Gan Ru Yan to the Lower Province.

“Zi’er, what’s wrong?” Gan Ru Yan asked curiously when she saw the purple-clad girl.

“Sister, there’s news about Duan Ling Tian…” The purple-clad girl sent a Voice Transmission to Gan Ru Yan.

Since they were in the Sect Leader’s domain, the purple-clad girl was afraid of being overheard by the powerful Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect.

“Hm?” Gan Ru Yan’s eyes lit up when she heard the purple-clad girl’s words. Before the purple-clad girl could continue, she instantly sent a Voice Transmission to Ke’er. “Ke’er, there’s news about him!”

Ke’er trembled in excitement when she heard Gan Ru Yan’s Voice Transmission. Naturally, she knew who Gan Ru Yan meant when she said ‘him’. It was the man who came to the Upper Province to join the Fire Worship Sect, the man she had committed herself to, and the father of her child!
