Chapter 2222 Huang Qi Ling from the Wandering Saint Palace! 

Duan Ling Tian followed a group of Human-Devils who were also heading to the south after leaving the Human-Devil Saint City.

Currently, as word about the ruin that was left behind by the Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master spread, more and more Human-Devils were leaving the Human-Devil Saint City and making their way south.

This is good… I won’t have to search for the ruin alone,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself when he saw the number of Human-Devils who were making their way south as well.

Duan Ling Tian continued following the group of Human-Devils for some time as they made their way south. He was flying when he heard someone calling out to him.

“Hey, brother! Are you also going to the ruin left behind by the Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master?”

Soon after, a Human-Devil appeared and flew next to Duan Ling Tian.

“Are you talking to me?” Duan Ling Tian asked, his head askew as he stared at the Human-Devil who was flying close to him.

The Human-Devil who flew next to Duan Ling Tian was a young man who was finely dressed. He had a noble air about him as well.

For unknown reasons, Duan Ling Tian did not feel the usual distaste he had for Human-Devils toward this young man. In fact, he felt a sense of closeness to him. It felt as though the person next to him was not a Human-Devil but a human instead.

Yes.” The young man had an attractive appearance. His smile was warm, giving one a sense of brotherhood. All in all, this person felt different from the other Human-Devils Duan Ling Tian had met so far.

Duan Ling Tian was intrigued, he secretly extended his Divine Consciousness and discovered that the young man did not descend from any of the Devil Clans although he had pure and dense Devil Qi in his body. It seemed like this person was human. He was completely different from the Human-Devils that Duan Ling Tian had examined previously.

The Human-Devils that Duan Ling Tian examined previously clearly possessed half-human blood and half-Devil blood apart from their pure and dense Devil Qi. However, the blood of the young man beside him was completely human.

“Is there anything you need?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at the finely dressed young man.

“Brother, you don’t seem like you’re from the Wandering Saint Palace,” the finely dressed young man said with a smile.

“Wandering Saint Palace?”

Upon hearing the young man’s words, Duan Ling Tian raised his eyebrow and asked, “You… You’re from the Wandering Saint Palace?”

When Duan Ling Tian was in the Human-Devil Saint City, he had heard of the Wandering Saint Palace more than once.

The Wandering Saint Palace was one of the palaces of the Human-Devil clan’s Three Palaces & Six Halls. It was equally as famous as the proprietor of Crimson Blaze Palace, the inn he left Ke’er and the others in. Both of them were one of the factions in the Human-Devil Clans.

The Wandering Saint Place was the odd one out in the Human-Devil clan because its ‘Devils’ were mostly humans.

From the Palace Master to ordinary disciples, they were all humans! They were all Devil Cultivators.

In the Land of Exile, most Devil Cultivators belonged to the Wandering Saint Palace.

The Wandering Saint Palace was first established after the end of the Human-Devil Era. At that time, a group of Devil Cultivators had followed the Devil Clans back to the Land of Exile. Many of them gathered and formed a pact to only reproduce with Devil Cultivators. If any of them broke the rules and procreated with any Devils from the Devil Clans, they would be expelled and exiled. For this reason, their human blood remained pure.

One of the main reasons the Human-Devil clan was ostracized by the other Devil Clans was because this faction consisted of humans.

Due to the fact that humans are generally bom with higher innate talent compared to Devils, the influence of the faction grew rapidly in the Land of Exile. Currently, the Wandering Saint Palace was one of the pillars of the Human- Devil clan.

The Wandering Saint Palace was the last faction in the Human-Devil clan to arrive in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Many Human-Devils speculated that the Wandering Saint Palace came late after the Human-Devil clan had claimed their territory because they didn’t want to kill their own kind and also didn’t want to offend the Human-Devil clan.

If there was a Devil Clan that Duan Ling Tian did not despise, it would be the Wandering Saint Palace. This was because they did not kill humans. Moreover, they were humans as well. The only difference was they cultivated the Devil Clan’s cultivation method and became Devil Cultivators.

“Yes. I’m from the Wandering Saint Palace… My name is Huang Qi Ling. How should I address you?” The finely dressed young man asked Duan Ling Tian.

“Duan Ling Tian!” Currently, Duan Ling Tian was not under disguise. He had no plans of disguising himself, therefore he answered Huang Qi Ling’s question honestly.

“Duan Ling Tian? Your name sounds familiar…” Huang Qi Ling was momentarily stunned when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s name. However, he quickly regained his senses and smiled. “Brother Ling Tian, you seem different from the other Human-Devils. You seem more like us from the Wandering Saint Palace.”

Although Huang Qi Ling did not purposely examine Duan Ling Tian’s blood, since he was used to spending time with other humans in the Wandering Saint Palace and Human-Devils, he was able to sense the subtle difference between the two. Based on Duan Ling Tian’s appearance and temperament, he could tell that Duan Ling Tian was pure human. Apart from that, he could also vaguely sensed the pure and dense Devil Qi in Duan Ling Tian’s body. Therefore, he was confident Duan Ling Tian was not a human from the Dao Martial Saint Land but a Devil Cultivator from the Land of Exile like him. This was also one of the reasons he did not figure out why Duan Ling Tian’s name sounded familiar.

“The Wandering Saint Palace isn’t the only place with purebred humans in the Land of Exile, right?” Duan Ling Tian said.

“That’s right.” Huang Qi Ling nodded.

Although most purebred humans, or Devil Cultivators as they were known in the Land of Exile, belonged to the Wandering Saint Palace, there were still some Devil Cultivators who did not join the Wandering Saint Palace.

In the Land of Exile, no other Human-Devil clan’s factions or Devil Clans would accept a purebred human so most of them were loners. Naturally, these types of Devil Cultivators were rare.

For this reason, Huang Qi Ling took the initiative to greet Duan Ling Tian. He treated Duan Ling Tian as a sectless Devil Cultivator.

“Brother Ling Tian, I’m going to take a look at the ruin left behind by the human Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master… If you’re heading there as well, do you want to travel together?” Huang Qi Ling asked as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He paused for a moment and said before Duan Ling Tian could reply, “Please don’t misunderstand, I bear no ill will… I just want to have a chat with you, a sectless cultivator, because the Devil Cultivators I know are all from the Wandering Saint Palace.”

“I don’t mind.” Duan Ling Tian agreed to Huang Qi Ling’s request since he did not feel any animosity from him, and he seemed like a nice person. Moreover, even if Huang Qi Ling harbored ill intention, he was not afraid at all. Huang Qi Ling’s cultivation base was merely at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was no threat to Duan Ling Tian at all.

This was how Duan Ling Tian gained a traveling companion.

During the journey, Huang Qi Ling was the one who took the initiative to speak most of the time. From Huang Qi Ling, Duan Ling Tian learned more things about the Human-Devil clan and the Wandering Saint Palace in particular.

After a while, Huang Qi Ling finally asked about Duan Ling Tian’s background.

Duan Ling Tian went along with Huang Qi Ling’s assumption and said that he was a sectless cultivator from the Land of Exile.

Since Huang Qi Ling had already convinced himself of this, he did not doubt Duan Ling Tian’s words at all.

“Brother Ling Tian, you can join the Wandering Saint Palace if you’re interested… The Wandering Saint Palace won’t reject you as long as you’re pure human,” Huang Qi Ling said to Duan Ling Tian with a smile, “Personally, I think there’s no downside to you joining the Wandering Saint Palace… Naturally, it’s up to you to decide.”

“I will consider it,” Duan Ling Tian nodded and said, “However, the most important thing now is the ruins left behind by the Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master! We should head there now if you know where it is located.”

“Brother Ling Tian, thanks for the reminder. As a matter of fact, I do know where the place is located! Let’s go!” Huang Qi Ling sped up instantly the moment he finished talking.

Initially, Huang Qi Ling had slowed down in consideration of Duan Ling Tian. However, he moved like a bolt of lightning when he discovered that Duan Ling Tian could easily keep up with him. At first, he did not speed up a lot since he was being considerate. After a few moments, he was stunned when he noticed how swift Duan Ling Tian’s speed was.

I didn’t think Brother Ling Tian is so strong. I think I can travel at full speed. If he can’t keep up then I’ll slow down…’ Huang Qi Ling thought to himself as he began to travel at full speed. His speed was twice as fast compared to before.

Huang Qi Ling was slightly pleased when he thought Duan Ling Tian would not be able to keep up with him. However, he was dumbfounded when he felt a gust of wind blew past him.

He…’ Huang Qi Ling realized that even at his full speed, Duan Ling Tian could keep up with him easily.
