Chapter 3491: The Phantom Clan

There was a reason Yu Dong Fang had sent Duan Ling Tian a Voice Transmission, and yet, Duan Ling Tian had revealed it to everyone. His expression changed immediately since he did not expect to be exposed.

Although Duan Ling Tian had promised to return Gongsun Xuanyuan’s favor, there was nothing he could do if Feng Qing Yang insisted on killing Ru Lai. Moreover, he was not troubled at all even if his master insisted on killing Ru Lai.

Feng Qing Yang scoffed when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. “It seems like Gongsun Xuanyuan had asked for this favor in advance because he knew this day would come…”

Realization dawned on Duan Ling Tian after he heard Feng Qing Yang’s words. It was not a coincidence that Gongsun Xuanyuan, the Heavenly Emperor of the Pavilion Shaft Heaven, had asked for a favor after Ru Lai probed him with his Divine Consciousness. After today’s incident, it was clear that everything was linked to each other. Gongsun Xuanyuan must have known that Ru Lai would make a move on him sooner or later so Gongsun Xuanyuan made preparations in advance.

Duan Ling Tian grew furious at the thought of being tricked by Gongsun Xuanyuan. Moreover, his life was at stake. If Feng Qing Yang was not around, he would have fallen into Ru Lai’s hands.

Killing intent flashed in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes as he said icily, “Master, I will acquiesce to your wish if you insist on killing him. After all, you’re my master. I will not impose my matters on you…”

“Since you promised Gongsun Xuanyuan a favor, I’ll spare his life to return the favor. With this, there’s no need for you to be indebted to him any longer,” Feng Qing Yang said. Then, he turned to Ru Lai and coldly said, “Ru Lai, I won’t spare you if this happens again.”

Subsequently, Feng Qing Yang removed the cage that was formed by his sword rays from the law of earth and his Destructive Sword Dao.

Ru Lai, who had been possessed by Great Master Miyan, glared at Feng Qing Yang. “Feng Qing Yang, I’ll never forget today’s incident. I’ll challenge you to a life-or-death battle in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven after 100 years!”

Great Master Miyan specialized in soul attacks. Since his divine soul was heavily injured by Feng Qing Yang, his strength had decreased by half. He was truly vexed and could not wait to recover so he could kill Feng Qing Yang.

Feng Qing Yang was not bothered by Great Master Miyan’s threats at all. He said dismissively, “I’ll be waiting for you.”

Great Master Miyan scoffed before he quickly took off.

With this, the young geniuses left one after another. In the end, only Duan Ling Tian and his friends were left.

Before Yu Dong Fang left, he looked at Duan Ling Tian meaningfully.

Duan Ling Tian met Yu Dong Fang’s eyes fearlessly when he felt Yu Dong Fang’s gaze on him.

Soon enough, Yu Dong Fang’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears.

“Duan Ling Tian, you’ve crossed the line today. If we meet during the Battle of the Geniuses, I won’t go easy on you…”

Duan Ling Tian chuckled. “You won’t go easy on me? I’m sorry, but you’re really overestimating yourself…”

Yu Dong Fang stared at Duan Ling Tian intently before he turned around and left without a word. He was determined to let his actions speak for himself during the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.

After greeting Feng Qing Yang, Su Li and the others looked at Duan Ling Tian with grim expressions on their faces.

“Duan Ling Tian, the Temple Master of the Title Temple in the Pavilion Shaft Heaven wants to possess your body?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded with a faint smile on his face. “Yes, but that’s all in the past.”

“It’s said that Temple Master Ru Lai already possessed the Golden Body. He has also created and comprehended his own Limitless Dao at the preliminary stage. Why does he want to possess you?” Tang San Pao asked, perplexed.

“I’m not sure either. That aside, before my master appeared earlier, he said something about being able to master the two Daos of Heaven and Earth that I created after possessing my body… This means he has always to comprehend the Daos through my soul…” Duan Ling Tian said as a hint of fear flashed in the depths of his eyes.

“Heavens! He has a way to comprehend the two Daos of Heaven and Earth that you created? What kind of method did he learn? I never knew such a method existed! If he’s able to do that, doesn’t that mean he’ll be able to easily comprehend the law of space through your knowledge of it as well?” Tang San Pao exclaimed in shock.

At this time, Ling Jue Yun asked with a frown, “Duan Ling Tian, is Ru Lai from a mundane realm?”

“I think so.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I’m quite certain he was from a mundane realm. He came from the same mundane realm as Heavenly Emperor Xuanyuan and Heavenly Emperor Yu Hao Tian…”

The characters whom Duan Ling Tian had thought were fictional back when he was on earth turned out to be real.

“Ru Lai was a human from a mundane realm,” Feng Qing Yang said, “2,000 years ago, Gongsun Xuanyuan, Yu Hao Tian, and Ru Lai invited me to a remnant of a Realm of Gods. Only those who were once humans could enter that place.”

“It doesn’t make sense at all…” Ling Jue Yun furrowed his brows and said, “According to the ancient records left behind by my clan’s supreme powerhouse, there’s only one clan that’s able to possess another person once in their lives and obtain the knowledge of the laws and Daos of the person they possessed…”

“Ancient records left behind by a supreme powerhouse?!”

Su Li and Tang San Pao looked at Ling Jue Yun in shock and disbelief. This was not surprising since they knew nothing about Ling Jue Yun’s origins; all they knew was that he was Duan Ling Tian’s friend.

On the other hand, Feng Qing Yang had long learned of Ling Jue Yun’s origins, hence, he was not surprised by Ling Jue Yun’s words. It was only natural for a prominent clan from a Realm of Gods to possess ancient records left behind by a supreme powerhouse. After all, even the heaven-grade Qilin Clan in the Devata Realm had a supreme powerhouse.

“What clan is it?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“The Phantom Clan!” Ling Jue Yun replied.

“The Phantom Clan?!” Feng Qing Yang narrowed his eyes. “Isn’t that a clan from the Land of Dead? I heard that members of the Phantom Clan can’t leave the Land of the Dead unless they’ve attained godhood.”

“That’s right.” Ling Jue Yun nodded. “Before attaining godhood, it’s impossible for them to leave the Land of the Dead. This is because they rely on the special energy in the Land of the Dead to survive. They’ll be reduced to ash if they don’t replenish their bodies with the special energy from the Land of the Dead…”

Duan Ling Tian had heard of the Land of the Dead. Similar to the Asura Hell, it was one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms. However, it was not as dangerous as the Asura Hell where even some gods would find it difficult to survive.

“Is it possible that he’s not Ru Lai?”

Feng Qing Yang narrowed his eyes upon hearing these words. As though he had recalled something, he said, “No wonder Ru Lai seems like such a different person…”

In the past, Feng Qing Yang had a few interactions with Ru Lai. In his mind, Ru Lai had always been a polite, gentle, and wise monk. However, in recent times, Ru Lai had grown aggressive and violent, unlike his peaceful self from the past.

Feng Qing Yang said in a low voice, “Follow me. I want to verify something…”

Before Duan Ling Tian and the others could reply, Feng Qing Yang had already brought all of them away.
