Chapter 3719: Uncle, My Condolences

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After more than two months, Long Xiao finally left King Descending City with regret and returned to the Hidden Fog Sect.

Over the past two months, he had used all his connections in King Descending City to search for Duan Ling Tian, the new core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect, so he could kill Duan Ling Tian. Alas, his search bore no fruits.

Ever since Duan Ling Tian revealed his identity on the streets of King Descending City and openly showed his interest in Linghu Chu Yin, the first beauty of the Linghu clan, he had disappeared without a trace in King Descending City. It was as though he had never been there in the first place.

Initially, Long Xiao waited patiently for Duan Ling Tian to show up, but when it was clear he would not be able to find Duan Ling Tian, he finally decided to return to the Hidden Fog Sect.

“It’s best if you never return to the Hidden Fog Sect. Otherwise, I, Long Xiao, will definitely kill you!” Long Xiao muttered to himself as his eyes shone with killing intent.

As soon as he arrived at the Hidden Fog Sect, the first thing he did was to confirm that Duan Ling Tian was not in the sect. Only when he confirmed Duan Ling Tian was not in the sect that he returned to his cultivation ground, which was also the cultivation ground of his master, Supreme Elder Lei.

Not long after Long Xiao’s return, Long Xiao went to look for Shangguan Xiong Feng, As soon as Long Xiao saw Shangguan Xiong Feng, Shangguan Xiong Feng said teasingly, “Long Xiao, you wasted so much time, but you didn’t get so much as a piece of news about him. It seems like he’s smart enough to

hide from you.”

“Ididn’t come to be mocked by you,” Long Xiao said with a slight frown on his face. Then, he asked, “During the time I was away, did Duan Ling Tian return to the sect?”

“No.” Shangguan Xiong Feng shook his head. His voice took on a playful tone as he said, “If he came back, I would’ve notified you. Do you think I’d help him?”

Shangguan Xiong Feng continued to say, “However, recently, there have been a few inner disciples and core disciples inquiring about Duan Ling Tian. I don’t know what their intentions are though.”

Long Xiao sneered. He said contemptuously with a hint of pride, “They probably intend to curry favor with him since he’s the first advanced god to become a core disciple in 10,000 years. If I openly announce that Duan Ling Tian is my enemy, they’ll definitely sever all ties with him.”

“Is it possible that he doesn’t plan to return to the sect?” Shangguan Xiong Feng asked before he said, “After all, you probably frightened him previously. I’m sure he knows the sect won’t punish you even if you violate the sect rules due to Supreme Elder Lei. He should know that he’d die sooner or later if he

continues staying in the sect.”

Long Xiao scoffed. He said, filled with cold killing intent, “It’s best if he doesn’t return. If he dares to return to the sect, I definitely won’t let him go.”

In the inner sanctuary of the Divine Sanctuary that was left behind by a rudimentary Emperor of Gods.

A soft thud rang in the air as Wu Feng, an inner disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect, appeared. His expression was one of regret at this moment. However, it did not take long for it to be replaced with a smile as he murmured, “As expected of an Emperor of Gods. The treasure he left behind might not be

anything much in his eyes but they’re rare treasures in my eyes. What a pity. I was so close to passing that obstacle. If I had succeeded, I would’ve gained another treasure.”

“I managed to pass seven obstacles and obtained nine treasures from Qin Wu, the Emperor of Gods. However, Junior Brother Duan might be able to overcome all the obstacles and obtain the prominent divine artifact,” Wu Feng said with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. Although he had failed to overcome

all the obstacles, he was rather confident Duan Ling Tian would be able to go further than him and obtain more treasures.

After a moment, Wu Feng’s expression turned solemn as though he had just recalled something, “According to the statue of Qin Wu, Du Qian Jun and his companion who had taken the other path would be transported out of the Divine Sanctuary. Due to the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath, they won’t be able to

say anything about the Divine Sanctuary to anyone, but they can still talk about Chu Han’s death. I’m sure they’ll be able to come up with a story to spread news about Chu Han’s death. Based on Junior Brother Duan’s words, Du Qian Jun and Chu Han had likely exchanged Soul Pearls so Du Qian Jun must be

aware of Chu Han’s death. Once Du Qian Jun finds a way to tell his grandfather about Chu Han’s death without revealing the Divine Sanctuary, Chu Han’s grandfather will definitely tell his senior brother who’s also Chu Han’s master. With all that, it won’t be difficult for them to discover my and Junior

Brother Duan’s identities…”

The more Wu Feng thought about it, the more solemn his expression became.

It was just as Wu Feng thought. At this time, the people of the 10,000 Devils Sect, who had been sent by the Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect, had already confirmed Duan Ling Tian and Wu Feng’s identities based on the clues given by Du Qian Jun.

At this time, a member of the 10,000 Devils Sect reported his findings to the Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect.

The Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect was a gentle and elegant middle-aged man who was dressed in a white robe.

“Sect Leader, our spy in the Hidden Fog Sect has sent news that Duan Ling Tian, a new core disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect, had left the Hidden Fog Sect quite a while ago. He hasn’t returned to the sect for months now. The last time he was seen was in King Descending City where he openly expressed his

interest in Linghu Chu Yin, the most beautiful woman in the Linghu clan.”

Another member said, “Sect leader, I’ve investigated all the rudimentary Kings of Gods, core disciples, and even the outer disciples. However, there’s no one with the name ‘Wu Yi Shan’. However, a few months ago, Duan Ling Tian exchanged for two Auspicious Pills with a mediocre divine artifact from an

inner sect disciple called Wu Feng. The two became friends since then and even exchanged Soul Pearls.”

“received news that both Duan Ling Tian and Wu Feng aren’t in the Hidden Fog Sect. Moreover, the time Wu Feng left the sect coincides with the time when ‘Wu Yi Shan’ disappeared. With this, it’s likely that Wu Feng is Wu Yi Shan. As for the person whom Wu Feng addressed as Junior Brother Duan, it’s

likely that he’s Duan Ling Tian who rose to fame in the Hidden Fog Sect not too long ago.”

The eyes of the Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect brightened upon hearing the reports. He did not waste time and went looking for Du Zhan, the Supreme Elder of the 10,000 Devils Sect.

“Uncle, I’ve received some news… Based on the clues you’ve told me, I’m almost certain Wu Yi Shan is Wu Feng, an inner disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect. As for his companion, I’m also certain he’s Duan Ling Tian. In the Hidden Fog Sect, only Duan Ling Tian has the capability to fight with a rudimentary

King of Gods despite being an advanced god.”

Du Zhan nodded and passed the news to his senior brother, Kuang Tian Zheng, who was in the Flying Dragon Sect.

“Duan Ling Tian? Wu Feng? They’re disciples of the Hidden Fog Sect?” Kuang Tian Zheng’s reply was swift. “Very well. After attending to a few urgent matters, I’ll personally confirm this.”

After receiving Kuang Tian Zheng’s reply, Du Zhan thought to himself, “It seems that the matter must be very urgent. Otherwise, with senior brother’s personality, he would’ve come over as soon as he could.”

Kuang Tian Zheng visited the 10,000 Devils Sect half a month later.

As soon as Kuang Tian Zheng arrived outside of the 10,000 Devils Sect’s estate, a group of high-ranking officials led by the Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect was already waiting for him. In fact, they had been waiting for him for two days and a night. All of them greeted him respectfully as soon as they

saw him.

“Junior uncle, welcome back to the sect.”

Lan Qing, the Sect Leader of the 10,000 Devils Sect, bowed to Kuang Tian Zheng, and his voice was filled with reverence when he greeted Kuang Tian Zheng. In terms of seniority, Kuang Tian Zheng, just like Du Zhan, was his junior uncle.

Lan Qing’s master had higher seniority than Kuang Tian Zheng and Du Zhan and had joined the 10,000 Devils Sect earlier than the duo. In the past, the duo would address Lan Qing’s master as senior brother. However, Lan Qing’s master passed away many years ago during one of the Heavenly

Tribulations.

“Welcome back, Elder Tian Zheng!”

The group of high-ranking officials behind Lan Qing greeted Kuang Tian Zheng after Lan Qing was done with his greeting. They bowed and looked at him in awe and admiration. After all, many of them grew up listening to stories about Kuang Tian Zheng so they idolized him.

Just like how Xue Hai Quan was a legendary figure in the Hidden Fog Sect, Kuang Tian Zheng was a legendary figure in the 10,000 Devils Sect.

Kuang Tian Zheng nodded slightly at the high-ranking officials before he said with a slight smile, “Lan Qing, I haven’t seen you for so many years; you didn’t change at all.”

However, Lan Qing could see the smile on Kuang Tian Zheng’s face was rather forced. Hence, he said with a sigh, “Uncle, my condolences.”

Previously, Du Zhan had told Lan Qing about the death of Chu Han before asking him to investigate the disciples of the Hidden Fog Sect.

“Condolences?”

The high-ranking officials of the 10,000 Devils Sect were stunned upon hearing Lan Qing’s words. They were unaware of what had happened. They were only gathered here because they heard Kuang Tian Zheng was returning to the 10,000 Devils Sect for a visit. However, they did not know the purpose of

his visit..
