Chapter 3061: Zheng Hong Yi’s Plan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Zheng Hong Yi returned to the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate, he monitored Duan Ling Tian’s movements constantly as he tried to devise a plan to lure Duan Ling Tian out of the sect’s estate. However, days passed, and he still could not come up with a suitable plan to lure Duan Ling Tian away from the sect’s estate.

Zheng Hong Yi sighed inwardly. ‘It seems like I won’t be able to get the ten bottles of Duke Grade Celestial Pills…’

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was in his room comprehending the law of fire’s Pillaging Profundity. With the guidance from the Chaos Divine Flame, his progress was incredibly fast.

…

In just a blink of an eye, five months had passed since Duan Ling Tian had used his consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon to kill the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang.

At this moment.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A figure that was completely engulfed in flames moved around in a spacious room. All of a sudden, the fiery figure came to halt. As the flames on the figure’s body subsided, they revealed a handsome purple-clad young man.

“I can still go faster!” the purple-clad young man mused out loud.

As soon as he finished speaking, his body moved and flames engulfed his body again.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The windows and the door rattled as the flames surged. The wind stirring in the room fanned the flames, causing them to surge and burn even hotter. Only the ice bed in the room seemed unmoved at the moment. However, upon closer inspection, one would be able to see the ice bed was thrumming at a high frequency.

After a moment, the purple-clad young man halted his movements again, and the flames around his body disappeared. A smile could be seen on his face; he was clearly in high spirits. He murmured to himself, “So this is the rudimentary stage of the Pillaging Profundity? How remarkable!”

The purple-clad young man was none other than Duan Ling Tian. He had spent five months in closed-door cultivation and had mastered the law of fire’s Pillaging Profundity at the rudimentary stage with the help from the Chaos Divine Flame.

The Pillaging Profundity was comparable to the law of wind’s Gale Profundity. It was quick and powerful in regard to offensive powers.

Duan Ling Tian had obtained five King Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities that contained profundities from the law of fire. Currently, he had successfully comprehended and mastered one of the five profundities.

‘I’ll visit Guang Lin,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself after a moment.

…

At the same time, Zheng Hong Yi’s eyes brightened up as soon as he saw Duan Ling Tian leaving his residence. He had been monitoring Duan Ling Tian all this time.

Duan Ling Tian did not notice Zheng Hong Yi when he stepped out of his residence. After all, as soon as he appeared, he had attracted the attention of many inner disciples. It was hard to notice Zheng Hong Yi among the crowd disciples.

Liu Guang Lin had been brought to the Simplicity Celestial Sect after Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, sent someone to bring him over from the Supporting Fall Nation in the Thousand Nations Territory. He was staying in a beautiful valley instead of staying in the valley where the true disciples and inner disciples resided. This beautiful valley was where guests of the Simplicity Celestial Sect stayed. Its cultivation environment was excellent; it was almost as good as the inner disciples’ cultivation environment.

Since Liu Guang Lin had arrived in the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate, Duan Ling Tian had yet to meet Liu Guang Lin. Regardless, he had kept in touch with Liu Guang Lin through Communication Celestial Talismans so he knew where Liu Guang Lin was staying in the sect’s estate.

Whoosh!

A group of inner disciples watched as Duan Ling Tian flew up into the air and disappeared from sight.

‘He’s left?’ Upon seeing this, Zheng Hong Yi’s eyes lit up. However, he dared not follow Duan Ling Tian. Instead, he quickly sent a message to the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang. “Senior, Duan Ling Tian has left his residence and is headed east. However, I can’t be sure if he’s leaving the sect. Currently, his strength is comparable to a Ten Directions Celestial King so I daren’t follow him.”

Based on Zheng Hong Yi’s words, one could see he was a level-headed person. He was not blinded by greed over the ten bottles of Duke Grade Celestial Pills and did not act rashly.

…

After an hour had passed, Zheng Hong Yi saw Duan Ling Tian returning. He wasted no time in informing the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang about it. He was worried the assassin would be needlessly waiting for Duan Ling Tian to appear. Naturally, it was not that he was considerate; he was just worried the assassin would be displeased with him for having to wait for Duan Ling Tian to appear.

As Duan Ling Tian made his way to his residence, he thought to himself and sighed inwardly, ‘Who knew that Guang Lin would have comprehended the law of earth’s Fundamental Profundity, the Earth Elemental Profundity, even though he has only been in the Simplicity Celestial Sect’s estate for less than a year?’

During Duan Ling Tian’s visit, he had found that Liu Guang Lin had comprehended the law of earth’s Fundamental Profundity, the Earth Elemental Profundity. He did not expect Liu Guang Lin to have such high comprehension skills. Although he himself had only spent one night comprehending the Earth Elemental Profundity, it was because he had the Chaos Divine Earth’s help. Unlike him, Liu Guang Lin did not have a Chaos Divine Earth to guide him. Therefore, Liu Guang Ling’s achievement was rather commendable.

Liu Guang Lin had managed to comprehend the law of earth’s Earth Elemental Profundity from a King Grade Divine Ability that was given to him by Sun Liang Peng.

Duan Ling Tian knew Sun Liang Peng had done that to raise his favorability in his eyes. He was rather pleased with Sun Liang Peng since Liu Guang Lin had been loyal to him. At this time, he had already considered Liu Guang Lin as one of his own. Before he left for the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he had told Liu Guang Lin that Liu Guang Lin could stay in the Supporting Fall Nation or come to the Simplicity Celestial Sect. At that time, Liu Guang Lin did not hesitate to follow him. In fact, at that time, he had inwardly wished Liu Guang Lin would choose to stay in the Supporting Fall Nation since it would be dangerous for Liu Guang Lin to follow him. Regardless, when Liu Guang Lin chose to follow him to the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he respected Liu Guang Lin’s decision.

“Duan Ling Tian was gone for an hour… What did he do during that time?” Zheng Hong Yi was perplexed and curious. After investigating the matter, he learned about Liu Guang Lin.

‘A follower?’ Zheng Hong Yi thought to himself, ‘It’s not difficult to knock his follower out and take him out of the sect’s estate… However, would Duan Ling Tian be willing to risk his life and leave the sect’s estate for his follower?” In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian was unlikely to risk his life for a mere follower. After all, if he were in Duan Ling Tian’s shoes, he would certainly not risk his life for a follower.

As thoughts of the ten bottles of the Duke Grade Celestial Pills surfaced in Zheng Hong Yi’s mind again, he thought to himself determinedly with a covetous smile on his face, ‘I don’t care. I’ll just take a chance and use that man as bait to lure Duan Ling Tian out of the sect’s estate. There’s a chance, regardless of how small it is, that Duan Ling Tian would leave the sect’s estate for his follower. If I’m lucky, the ten bottles of Duke Grade Celestial Pills will be mine!’

‘I’ll try and find an opportunity to knock him out with a White Thunder Electric Talisman before I sneak him out of the sect’s estate!” Zheng Hong Yi quickly formulated a plan to kidnap Liu Guang Lin. Although he was determined to use Liu Guang Lin as bait, he did not dare to be careless and reckless. After all, if he was exposed, it would be the end for him. For this reason, he needed to be extremely cautious.

…

Half a month later.

Zheng Hong Yi and the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang met on a barren plain located at the west of the Simplicity Celestial Sect estate.

“Who is he?” the assassin asked as he furrowed his brows after Zheng Hong Yi dragged an unconscious middle-aged man out of his Little World.

Zheng Hong Yi replied, “He’s Duan Ling Tian’s follower. My master had sent someone to bring him to the Simplicity Celestial Sect from the Thousand Nations Territory.”

“A follower?” The assassin frowned. “You mean to use this man to lure Duan Ling Tian out of your sect’s estate?”

“Yes,” Zheng Hong Yi replied.

The assassin sneered before he said, “Do you really think Duan Ling Tian would risk his life for a mere follower?”

“Senior, this is the only idea I have. I think it’s worth a try. I don’t want to keep you waiting. I know there’s no guarantee it’ll work. However, what if it works?” Zheng Hong Yi said in an attempt to persuade the assassin.

The assassin pondered on Zheng Hong Yi’s words for a moment before he finally said, “Your words make sense…” Based on his words, it was clear Zheng Hong Yi had successfully convinced him.

Upon hearing these words, Zheng Hong Yi sighed in relief inwardly. After a moment, he said tentatively, “Senior, this person has seen my face… He knows me… If we manage to successfully lure Duan Ling Tian out, please kill this man as well!”

The assassin from the Blood Skull Gang nodded slightly. Although he did not care about Zheng Hong Yi’s life or death, Zheng Hong Yi still had his uses if this plan failed.
