Chapter 3728: Linghu Ren Jie

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Linghu Chu Yin is from the Divine Offering Land, and she might not be the biological daughter of Linghu Yun’s aunt,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He was filled with hope after listening to Linghu Yun’s words. With these, there was a high possibility that Linghu Chu Yin was Keer. A hint of

anticipation could be seen in his eyes now when he looked at the Linghu clan’s estate.

“Duan Ling Tian, we’ll head to my courtyard first. I’l bring you to my cousin after Grandpa Xuan lures Elder Qing Ze away. It won’t be a problem for me to visit my cousin alone, but Elder Qing Ze definitely won’t allow it if I bring you along,” Linghu Yun said, “Your behavior in King Descending City has left

a deep impression on Elder Qing Ze. If she sees you, I’m afraid there’s nothing I’ll be able to do to help you.”

“Fourth Young Master, I’l follow your arrangements,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod. He could wait as long as he could meet Linghu Chu Yin.

“Grandpa Xuan, | apologize. But I’ll have to trouble you to distract Elder Qing Ze,” Linghu Yun said to Linghu Xuan.

Linghu Xuan nodded and immediately left to look for Linghu Qing Ze while Linghu Yun led Duan Ling Tian to his courtyard.

After they arrived at Linghu Yun’s courtyard, Linghu Yun said solemnly, “Duan Ling Tian, although my cousin shares a lot of similarities with your wife, you have to prepare yourself for the possibility that she’s not your wife.”

“I know.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I only want to confirm her identity. Fourth Young Master, rest assured. I won’t renege on my promise to you.”

“I, Linghu Yun, am good at discerning people’s character. I’m not worried about you reneging on your promise,” Linghu Yun said as he shook his head, “I just hope you’re mentally prepared so you won’t be too disappointed if my cousin isn’t your wife.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded.

While they waited for news from Linghu Xuan, Duan Ling Tian suddenly recalled something. Hence, he asked Linghu Yun, “Fourth Young Master, did your cousin show signs of memory loss?”

“Memory loss?” Linghu Yun frowned slightly before he shook his head. “I’m not sure. We only greet each other when we meet and hardly interact. Since she came to the clan, she stays in her courtyard most of the time and rarely comes out.”

Duan Ling Tian was slightly disappointed when he heard Linghu Yun’s reply. He would have to see for himself if Linghu Chu Yin suffered from memory loss.

“Let’s have a seat while we wait,” Linghu Yun said as he gestured to Duan Ling Tian to sit in front of a stone table. Then, he asked with a smile, “Duan Ling Tian, I heard that you only recently joined the Hidden Fog Sect after being recommended by the dean of the Hidden Fog Academy in Skywind City?”

“That’s right.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. His anxiety had eased knowing that he would soon meet Linghu Chu Yin and he would be able to verify if she was Ke’er.

“Since you’ve just joined the Hidden Fog Sect, is it fair to say you don’t have any attachment to the sect? If that’s the case, are you interested in joining our Linghu clan? If you agree, you’ll be a respected elder in the clan and enjoy privileges like the Lords of Gods in our clan,” Linghu Yun said as his eyes

gleamed.

Linghu Yun had naturally heard of Duan Ling Tian’s feats. He knew that Duan Ling Tian was the first advanced god to become a core disciple in the Hidden Fog Sect in 10,000 years after. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian was not even 3,000 years old. Such a person would definitely become a Lord of Gods at the

very least if he did not die prematurely. Hence, he could not help but try to recruit Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly as he replied, “Fourth Young Master, I’d definitely accept your invitation if the Linghu clan is an emperor-rank force. I’ll be frank with you. I don’t plan to stay in the Hidden Fog Sect for long. My next step is to join the Flying Dragon Sect.”

The Flying Dragon Sect was the emperor-rank sect that ruled over the Hidden Fog Sect, the 10,000 Devils Sect, and the Linghu clan.

Linghu Yun was not surprised by Duan Ling Tian’s words. He continued to persuade Duan Ling Tian, undeterred. “I don’t expect you to stay for long in the Linghu clan. In fact, we can also help recommend you to the Flying Dragon Sect.”

Duan Ling Tian was tempted by Linghu Yun’s offer. He did not doubt Linghu Yun’s words. After all, Linghu Yun had a huge influence in the clan as the most beloved son of the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan. Moreover, with his talent, the clan would definitely not mistreat him as well. However, in the end,

he said, “Murong Sui Feng, the dean of the Hidden Fog Academy, recommended me to the Hidden Fog Sect. I’m indebted to him so I can’t leave the Hidden Fog Sect for the Linghu clan. I apologize.”

“What a pity.” Linghu Yun sighed.

All of a sudden, Duan Ling Tian said, “Well, I can join the Linghu clan if you can agree to a request of mine.”

Linghu Yun’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. He said, “Duan Ling Tian, if you’re willing to join the clan, apart from agreeing to your request, I’m ready to write off the favor you owe me as well!”

Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “That’s a different matter. A favor is a favor. I’ll return the favor I owe you regardless. I can join the Linghu clan, and even join the Linghu clan’s faction after joining the Flying Dragon Sect. However, I need you to send someone to protect me and follow me back to the

Hidden Fog Sect.”

An idea had formed in Duan Ling Tian’s head. Perhaps, he did not need to become a nominal disciple of a Supreme Elder of the Hidden Fog Sect to protect himself from Long Xiao and Supreme Elder Lei.

“You need someone to protect you and follow you back to the Hidden Fog Sect?” Linghu Yun frowned in confusion.

“Let me explain to you…” Duan Ling Tian said before he explained his conflict with Long Xia and Shangguan Xiong Feng. Then, he said, “Long Xiao won’t rest until I die once I return to the Hidden Fog Sect. ‘m not afraid of him, but I can’t afford to offend his master. Since I have no intention of accepting a

master, I don’t have any support in the Hidden Fog Sect. Previously, I had planned to become a nominal disciple of one of the two remaining Supreme Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect to gain their protection after I return to the sect. I planned to attract the supreme elders’ attention by displaying my talent.

However, with your invitation, I realized that I have another option.”

“You’re not afraid of Long Xiao? Do you mean to say you’re capable of defeating him?” Linghu Yun inhaled sharply upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Long Xiao was one of the five strongest core disciples of the Hidden Fog Sect. Although he was only an intermediate King of Gods, he was capable of defeating an ordinary advanced King of Gods. Even some of the inner elders in the Linghu clan, who were advanced Kings of Gods, were not a match for

Long Xiao. For this reason, how could Linghu Yun not be shocked when he heard Duan Ling Tian, an advanced god, imply that he was able to defeat Long Xiao?

Duan Ling Tian nodded. Although he had only just become a rudimentary King of Gods not too long ago and had not fought Long Xiao before, he knew about Long Xiao’s strength and secret weapon. He was confident he did not even have to go all out to defeat Long Xiao.

“Tl have to discuss this matter with my father first before I can agree to your request,” Linghu Yun said before he sent a message to his father.

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded in response. There was nothing to lose since he had to wait for news from Linghu Xuan anyway.

When Linghu Yun received his father’s reply, he wasted no time in bringing Duan Ling Tian to the Linghu clan’s main hall.

When they arrived, a middle-aged man sitting in the main seat rose to his feet. He was tall and burly and was dressed in a long silver robe. He was not only handsome and elegant, but his gaze was gentle like the spring breeze.

“Duan Ling Tian, this my father, Linghu Ren Jie,” Linghu said as he gestured to the silver-clad middle-aged man.

“Duan Ling Tian, I’ve heard a lot about you,” Linghu Ren Jie said with a smile before he politely gestured to Duan Ling Tian to take a seat before sitting down himself.
