Chapter 4111: Stop Pretending to Be Dead

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian was naturally touched by Yang Yu Chen’s words. However, he was unwilling to accept Yang Yu Chen’s suggestion since he knew Yang Yu Chen’s true body would be affected to a certain extent if he sent his doppelganger out. He knew this very well since he also had experience in using doppelgangers.

When controlling doppelgangers, one could go on with life as usual, but one would still need to keep a part of one’s mind to control them. Unless one’s doppelganger was inactive, one would not be able to fully focus. Usually, Duan Ling Tian’s doppelgangers would be inactive when he was immersed in cultivating.

For this reason, Duan Ling Tian did not intend to let Yang Yu Chen’s doppelganger protect the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven for long. Since the people from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation would not show up because they knew a trap had been late, there was no use staying in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven to wait for them.

“Academy Master,” Duan Ling Tian said solemnly, “I’ll owe you a favor then. I won’t let you down in the future.”

Duan Ling Tian naturally knew Su Bi Lie was willing to help because Su Bi Lie saw his potential. In a way, Su Bi Lie was investing in him by seizing the chance to help him when he was in need. He did not want to burden Yang Yu Chen further so he could only accept Su Bi Lie’s help.

!!

“Very good!” Su Bi Lie smiled so wide that his eyes turned into slits.

Duan Ling Tian knew that with Su Bi Lie’s intervention, he would be safe in the Myriad Laws Academy. He did not have to worry about those from the Legacy faction sending those at or above the realm of an Emperor of Gods to kill him.

Yang Yu Chen only raised his eyebrows slightly and did not say anything when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s decision. After all, Duan Ling Tian had the right to make this decision.

Then, Su Bi Lie smiled and asked, “Duan Ling Tian, how long did you stay in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic?”

Yang Yu Chen’s expression changed immediately upon hearing these words. He looked at Su Bi Lie pointedly, warning Su Bi Lie. He realized that Su Bi Lie must have been eavesdropping on him earlier.

“Five months and nine days,” Duan Ling Tian said with a sigh, looking slightly dejected.

“Why are you sighing?” Su Bi Lie said as he shook his head, “You’ve broken the record in the Inner Palace faction. The longest time someone stayed in there was five months and five days, and you surpassed that time by four days.”

Su Bi Lie ignored Yang Yu Chen’s warning gaze. Since he had caught Yang Yu Chen lying, he would not let it go.

Duan Ling Tian was stunned by Su Bi Lie’s words. Then, he asked in confusion, “Are you mistaken, Academy Master? My Third Senior Brother and Eldest Senior Sister stayed there longer than that. How could I have broken the longest standing record?”

Duan Ling Tian instinctively turned to look at Yang Yu Chen after saying that. He said, “Is there a mistake, Third Senior Brother?”

Soon enough, Duan Ling Tian noticed the unnatural expression on Yang Yu Chen’s face.

‘Does this mean the Academy Master is telling the truth and Third Senior Brother lied?’

In the end, Yang Yu Chen shook his head and said, “Junior brother, I didn’t tell you the truth because I was afraid you’ll let it go to your head and become complacent. Your time in the Supreme Powerhouse Relic not only surpassed mine and Eldest Senior Sister, but you even broke the record.”

After Duan Ling Tian obtained the answer to his question, Su Bi Lie feigned an expression of surprise as he said to Yang Yu Chen, “Brat, you should’ve told me earlier to keep this matter a secret.”

The corners of Yang Yu Chen’s lips twitched when he saw Su Bi Lie acting in front of him.

Su Bi Lie looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked, looking apologetic, “Duan Ling Tian, I don’t think you’ll let this go to your head, right? Your Third Senior Brother had good intentions, but I ruined it with my big mouth.”

It did not take long for Duan Ling Tian to realize what was going on. Clearly, Su Bi Lie had eavesdropped on them and deliberately exposed Yang Yu Chen. He naturally did not doubt Yang Yu Chen’s good intentions. He said, “Third Senior Brother, don’t worry. I won’t become complacent just because of this. I’ve experienced a lot since my time in the mundane realm until now and have achieved a lot. I won’t let this go to my head.”

Yang Yu Chen smiled faintly and nodded. At the same time, he wondered if Duan Ling Tian managed to figure out the truth behind this matter. In any case, he felt like he had shot his own foot.

…

After bidding farewell to Su Bi Lie, while they returned to the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm, Duan Ling Tian asked, “Third Senior Brother, in your opinion, how high are the chances that the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation is behind the deaths those related to me and the destruction of the Heavenly Palace and the Saint Province Realm?

Yang Yu Chen replied, confused, “I’m 90% certain now that the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation is behind it. Junior brother, weren’t you 100% certain that the congregation is involved in the matter? Why are you asking me this now?”

“I just want to be sure…” Duan Ling Tian said with a faint smile.

“The chances are very high that they’re behind the matter,” Yang Yu Chen said, “In fact, I made a move on a member of the congregation after you rejected their Holy Son’s challenge. I also heard that a few disciples of the congregation in the academy had met previously. They’d said that the congregation definitely wouldn’t let you go for humiliating their Holy Son.”

After a pause, Yang Yu Shen added, “It’s also in line with the way the congregation did things. If you’d joined one of the other heavyweight supreme-rank forces, perhaps, they would even make their move earlier. They did not make a move immediately because I personally recruited you to join the academy. They’re naturally wary of me since they have many disciples, including one of their Holy Sons, in the academy. However, your rejection of Wang Yun Sheng’s challenge likely agitated them since it could be seen as a humiliation. As such, they made a move on those related to you to seek revenge.”

Yang Yu Chen’s words were very reasonable, and Duan Ling Tian no longer doubted the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation’s involvement in the matter.

“Third Senior Brother,” Duan Ling Tian suddenly said, “I’m going to send Elder Huo, Senior Meng Luo, and the others away from the Heavenly Palace in a few days. After that, you can withdraw your doppelgangers.

Yang Yu Chen said with a hint of helplessness, “Junior brother, you don’t have to rush things. My doppelganger isn’t affecting me at all.”

Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said, “That’s not the reason. The congregation must know that you’ve sent your doppelganger there so they dare not make a move. Under such circumstances, it’s useless for us to keep waiting at the Heavenly Palace.”

…

After a few days, Duan Ling Tian’s doppelganger dismissed everyone in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, apart from Elder Huo and Meng Luo. The others were rather happy since Duan Ling Tian had rewarded them greatly.

After that, with the protection of Yang Yu Chen’s doppelganger, Duan Ling Tian brought Elder Huo and Meng Luo away.

…

After helping Elder Huo and Meng Luo to settle down, Duan Ling Tian left the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm. Yang Yu Chen relayed Su Bi Lie’s message to him. Su Bi Lie said that he would be safe in the Myriad Laws Academy from now on.

…

Before Duan Ling Tian returned to the dormitory, the members of the Legacy faction, from the top to the bottom, were all warned. They were naturally shocked by the warning.

“Members of the Legacy faction are prohibited from targeting Duan Ling Tian from now on. The Academy Master has spoken. If anything happens to Duan Ling Tian in the academy, whether it has to do with our faction or not, members of the Legacy faction can forget about competing for the position of Academy Master.”

“As such, not only must we stop targeting him, but we must ensure his safety at all costs!”

…

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of the commotion in the Legacy faction. Shortly after returning to his dormitory, which was room 603 in Building 2, he left his room and flew to a small independent courtyard.

Duan Ling Tian looked at the courtyard below as he hovered in the air. After a moment, he said, “Wang Yun Sheng, come out.”

Seeing that there’s no response, Duan Ling Tian added, “Stop pretending to be dead!”

The crowd that had gathered felt speechless upon hearing this. They could not help but wonder how Wang Yun Sheng was going to respond.
