War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Duan Ling Tian had long noticed that the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines in the herb garden was not simple.

However, even so, he did not dare to have any covetous thoughts toward the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines in the herb garden at all.

This was because the owner of the herb garden was a powerful being who seemed to be at the Saint Celestial Stage! Although it was impossible for him to keep an eye on the herb garden at all times, with Duan Ling Tian's current strength, it was impossible for him to tell when the owner of the herb garden was watching them.

It would just be like playing with fire if he coveted the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicine in the herb garden. It was fine if he was lucky and did not get caught. However, he would definitely die if he was caught. Moreover, it might even implicate Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi as well.

"I'm sure you know about the benefits the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda will bring you, right? Aren't you tempted?" Elder Huo's voice resonated again.

If he was subtly egging Duan Ling Tian on earlier, currently, he was directly egging him on.

Upon hearing Elder Huo's words, Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly. "Elder Huo, naturally, I know the benefits the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda will bring me. I've dreamed about restoring the fourth level as well. However, I really can't touch the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines in this herb garden at all!" Duan Ling Tian's voice was tinged with a sense of helplessness when he spoke.

"Why?" Elder Huo asked.

Duan Ling Tian said, "Although I've not seen the owner of the herb garden until now, based on the technique he cast previously, I can tell he's most likely at the Saint Celestial Stage or above! With his strength, I won't be able to tell when he's watching us. Who knows when he's watching us? If I take this risk and lose, not only would I die, but it might even implicate Senior Brother Gu Li and Palace Master Zhu. Even if he didn't catch me stealing the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines, he'll definitely suspect us when he finds them missing." He shook his head when he reached the end of his sentence.

"It's not difficult to solve the problems you just mentioned," Elder Huo said after a moment of silence, "You can do this…"

Then, Elder Huo told Duan Ling Tian about his plan.

Upon hearing that, Duan Ling Tian's eyes narrowed immediately. His expression was grave as he asked, "Elder Huo, isn't this too risky If he didn't fall for our trick, not only would Senior Brother Gu Li, Palace Master Zhu, and me fail to escape, but we would be killed for angering him!"

"Don't worry! This plan is foolproof with me around!" Elder Huo replied determinedly.

Duan Ling Tian did not respond for a long time so Elder Huo knew he still felt skeptical. "Think about this carefully. This chance is hard to come by! If you miss it, it'll be impossible for you to find another chance to repair the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda in such a short period of time in the future. Besides, if this plan is a success, apart from having the whole garden of Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicine to yourself, you and your companions would be able to escape from this place as well! Don't tell me you plan on staying here for ten years? You might be able to wait, but will your fiancee and daughter be able to wait that long?" Elder Huo further tempted Duan Ling Tian with his words, causing Duan Ling Tian's mind to be in chaos.

He had mentioned Ke'er's situation to Elder Huo before so Elder Huo knew about the matter.

"Elder Huo, I believe in you!" After listening to Elder Huo, Duan Ling Tian who felt skeptical could only clench his teeth as he decided to go with Elder Huo's plan to steal all the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines in the herb garden. Not only that, but they could seize this opportunity to escape the evil grasp of this person who seemed to be at the Saint Celestial Stage.

As the saying went, 'Fortune favors the bold!'

Along with Elder Huo's help, Duan Ling Tian felt their success rate was quite high.

As for how Elder Huo said that the plan was completely foolproof, he did not really believe it at all. After all, nobody could tell what would happen in the future. If they made a mistake during the critical moment, they would lose everything!

"Although I believe in you, Elder Huo, it doesn't mean Senior Brother Gu Li and Palace Master Zhu will believe me! After all, this matter is related to our lives so we can't afford to be careless!" Duan Ling Tian said.

"I'm sure they won't reject you if you're confident enough," Elder Huo replied. He had faith in Duan Ling Tian.

"I don't want to make any promises, but I'll try my best." Just because Elder Huo was confident in Duan Ling Tian, it did not mean Duan Ling Tian felt confident. Due to this reason, he did not promise Elder Huo anything.

However, to Duan Ling Tian's surprise, after he told Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi about Elder Huo's plan, both of them instantly agreed to it.

"As long as you can find out when he's not watching us, this plan will work," Zhu Lu Qi replied.

"I think it'll work as well," Gu Li chimed in.

"There are no plans that are completely foolproof. Although the plan seems to have no flaws, who can guarantee there won't be any problem that arises later? Both of you must think about this carefully," Duan Ling Tian responded.

"I've thought this through. Rather than being imprisoned here for ten years, I'd rather take this risk! Not only that, but if you know when he's not monitoring us, then our chances of escaping will be high!" Zhu Lu Qi added again.

"That's right! Although it's risky, I still want to take this risk!" Gu Li agreed with Zhu Lu Qi.

"Since both of you agree to it, we'll carry out our plan tomorrow," Duan Ling Tian said without beating around the bush when he saw Zhu Lu Qi and Gu Li's determination despite his warning.

"Sure!"

"Alright."

Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi nodded in agreement. They did not have any objections.

Not only that, but there was a hint of excitement in the depths of their eyes as they looked forward to tomorrow's plan.

That night, Duan Ling Tian discussed the details with Elder Huo and finalized every step of the plan.

"No mistake is allowed in tomorrow's plan!" Only when midnight arrived did Duan Ling Tian stopped his discussion with Elder Huo. He was determined to give it his all tomorrow to avoid any mistakes.

When the sky turned bright, the day had finally arrived!

"He has withdrawn his Divine Consciousness! The plan starts now!" Duan Ling Tian who was originally tending to the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicine obediently suddenly heard an ancient voice resonating in his ears.

It was Elder Huo's voice!

"Now!" Upon hearing Elder Huo's words, Duan Ling Tian immediately transmitted his voice to Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi, ordering both of them to make their moves.

Soon after, three of them made their moves and disappeared from their spots.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the next moment, gusts of cold wind blew across the herb garden. It was Duan Ling Tian and his two companions moving around in the herb garden.

The Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines were all rooted from the ground in their wake. They were like a swarm of locusts. ,

Every once in a while, Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi would pass all the 'war trophies' in their hands to Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian had suggested this since he had a method of storing the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicine into a place that was not a Spatial Ring. It was the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda!

Naturally, he did not tell Gu Li or Zhu Lu Qi anything about the Seven Treasures Exquisite nor did he mention that he could hide those Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines without being found out.

He merely said he had a way to destroy all the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines in the herb garden without the owner of the herb garden discovering anything.

This was the first step of the plan. If they did not complete the first step, they would not be able to proceed to the second step.

With their strength, it only took them 15 minutes to uproot all the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines in the huge herb garden. The herb garden was in a mess when they were done.

"Senior! It's a disaster! The Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicine have all been stolen!" After Duan Ling Tian and the two others looked at each other, Gu Li called out loudly to the owner of the herb garden. His tone was filled with anxiety. One had to say he put on a good show.

Gu Li's voice was originally loud, coupled with the Divine Saint Stage energy, it immediately alerted the herb garden's owner.

It was at this moment that Duan Ling Tian and his two companions finally saw the owner of the herb garden.

The herb garden's owner was a plain-looking old man who looked slightly like a sage from afar.

However, at this moment, the old man's eyes were red as he stared at the mess in his herb garden. His face began to twitch. It was clear he was furious.

"Senior, that person has escaped to the south!"

"Perhaps you'll be able to catch him if you go after him now!"

Duan Ling Tian, Gu Li, and Zhu Lu Qi looked at the old man anxiously and urged him on.

At this moment, they were covered in dust and dirt as though they had been attacked.

After the old man took a deep breath, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and his two companions.

"Remove the ownership of your Spatial Ring and hand it over!" The old man did not listen to Duan Ling Tian and his two companion's urgings. Instead, he ordered them to hand their Spatial Rings over. He spoke hurriedly as though he was anxious to get his hands on their Spatial Rings

Naturally, this was because he wanted to make sure the disappearance of the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicine had nothing to do with Duan Ling Tian and his two companions before he chased after the culprit who had stolen his Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines.

Upon hearing the old man's words, Duan Ling Tian and his two companions frowned.

However, the old man's gaze was as sharp as knives. They had no choice but to remove their ownerships off their Spatial Rings before handing it over to the old man.

After receiving the Spatial Rings, the old man extended his powerful Divine Consciousness and began to search Duan Ling Tian and his two companions to make sure they did not have any other Spatial Rings on them. Then, he proceeded to perform Blood Ownership Claim on the three Spatial Rings.

When he discovered there were no Spirit Grasses or Spirit Medicines from his herb garden in the Spatial Rings, his expression turned grim immediately.

"Hurmph!" As he snorted coldly, the old man removed the ownership from the three Spatial Rings and handed it back to them before he immediately flew toward the south.

In just a blink of an eye, the old man disappeared before their eyes. However, he suddenly appeared at a corner where he was hidden from three of them as he stared at them coldly.
