War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2496 - Dear Cousin…

Huang Wen Jing was one of these women.

Years ago, when Huang Wen Jing met Duan Ling Tian, he had displayed his strength in the Wandering Saint Palace. He had killed the Human-devil Clan's ancestor, Liao Nai, a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, before leaving the Wandering Saint Palace. At that time, she knew a relationship with that man would never bear fruit. Even then, she could not seem to forget the man even after all these years.

When Huang Wen Jing had first arrived in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, she heard that man had strength comparable to Six Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. Although she was shocked, she could not help but feel proud as well. As expected, this was the man she liked! His strength was a testament to her good taste in men.

In the following years, she no longer heard news about that man. She had been worried about his safety and feared he had been killed by the dragon clan. Currently, after all these years, she finally received news about him, causing her to sigh in relief and feeling proud at the same time. Despite only being an Eminent Celestial, his strength was comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial!

After a while, Huang Wen Jing finally replied to Huang Qi Ling, "I think the news is true. As for the news about his wife, I don't think it's fake either." When she spoke about Ke'er, a hint of envy that she could not suppress could be seen in the depths of her eyes. She was not envious of Ke'er's strength, she was envious that Ke'er could stay by his side.

"I agree." Huang Qi Ling nodded in agreement. "Although the news seems exaggerated, I can't help but feel it's possible for someone like him."

Meanwhile, Yuwen Hao Chen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, was stunned as well when he received the news. "There's news about master?"

Years ago, Yuwen Hao Chen had sworn on a lightning penalty oath to acknowledge Duan Ling Tian as his master before Duan Ling Tian left. He could not help but laugh bitterly when he finally received news about Duan Ling Tian.

Previously, Duan Ling Tian had ordered Yuwen Hao Chen to look for his family. "Regardless if the news about master is real or fake, there's no doubt that he has reappeared. However, I've made no progress with the matter he entrusted me with back then, how can I bring myself to face him?" Although he did not spare any efforts in carrying out Duan Ling Tian's order, he failed to find any traces of Duan Ling Tian's family.

Somewhere in the northern region.

Yang Zhen Xing, the former patriarch of the Human-devil clan, had also received news about Duan Ling Tian and Ke'er. His expression darkened as he shook his head in disbelief. "Impossible! Impossible! How could he and his wife be so strong? The news must be fake!"

Back then, Yang Zhen Xing had personally witnessed Duan Ling Tian kill his master. He only managed to escape because he had used a Fiery Blood Evasion Talisman. After his successful escape, he returned to the Land of Exile to meet the Bodiless Celestials in his clan. Unfortunately, when he returned to the Wandering Saint Palace with the Bodiless Celestials in tow, Duan Ling Tian had left and vanished without a trace. He could not seek revenge from Duan Ling Tian at all.

When Yang Zhen Xing came to the Upper Province, he assumed Duan Ling Tian had been killed by the dragon clan. After all, this would explain Duan Ling Tian's disappearance. He was happy. At the very least, Duan Ling Tian's death could be considered as a revenge for his master. It was out of his expectation that he would receive news about Duan Ling Tian after all these years. Moreover, it was said that Duan Ling Tian possessed strength comparable to a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial! How could he accept this?

In the northern region. In a snowy land where everything had remained frozen for the past 100,000 years.

At this moment, the peace in the land was disrupted.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of wind whistling loudly shattered the silence as several figures flew in from different directions, leaving tears in the void in their wake.

In just a blink of an eye, seven figures appeared in the sky of the snowy land. All of them came to a halt at the same time as though they had a tacit agreement before this.

A black-robed middle-aged man looked at the other six people and asked coldly, "I'm sure everyone has heard the news?" The cold expression on his face was not feigned, this was his default expression. It gave him an unapproachable air.

"Mhm."

"I have."

The others nodded when they heard his words.

Bang!

They had only been here for a few minutes when a loud explosion sounded from the glacier beneath them. It seemed like the glacier had suffered from a tremendous impact as it began to crack, looking like a spider web.

Boom!

As the cracks continued to spread, another explosion sounded in the air.

This time, the glacier was shattered, causing ice shards to fall into the cold water. The water splashed as ice shards continued falling.

An indifferent voice said, "What happened?"

Although the voice was not loud, it caused chills to run up the seven people's spines.

"Master Wu Ji!"

"Master Wu Ji!"

When the seven people recovered from their shock, they quickly bowed reverently to an old man who had just appeared out of thin air.

If people were to see these seven people behaving in such a manner, they would have been greatly shocked. This was because these seven people were extremely strong in the Devil Clans. All of them were Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials. How could one not feel shocked seeing seven Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials from the Devil Clans bowing reverently to an old man?

The old man had a medium build and his appearance was average. He would not have stood out in a sea of people. However, since the seemingly average old man was treated so reverently by the seven Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, it was obvious his status was extremely high. Indeed, he was the only Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial in the Devil Clans!

"Is it true that the patriarch of the dragon clan has died?"

The old man, Wu Ji, had a dark expression on his face when he learned about this news from these seven Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials. When he had first arrived in the Upper Province, he had found out the patriarch of the dragon clan was a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial. They had fought, but their fight ended in a match. Neither one could defeat the other. When he learned about the death of the dragon clan's patriarch, an ominous feeling rose in his heart. If that person could kill the patriarch of the dragon clan, that person could, naturally, kill him as well.

"After the incident, the dragon clan has announced they have no enmity with the Seven Absolutes Sect. Based on that, the news is probably true," one of the Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestials said.

"I agree," another Eight Tribulation Bodiless Celestial said.

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware that the Devil Clan's Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial was trembling in fear after learning about his wife's ability to kill a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial.

When Duan Ling Tian and Ke'er returned to the Lower Province, they searched every corner for his parents, wife, and friends. However, even after searching for two months, they could not find anything.

Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself, 'Is it possible that father, mother, and the others have gone to the Upper Province as well?"

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, Ke'er suggested, "Brother Tian, since we can't find them here, should we return to the Upper Province to look for them?"

"Mhm." Duan Ling Tian nodded. After a while, he said gently, "Ke'er, it must've been tough for you lately… If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to search every corner of the Lower Province in just two months!" If it were not for Ke'er's powerful Divine Consciousness, it would have been impossible for him to complete his search in such a short time.

"Brother Tian, there's no need for these words between us." Ke'er shook her head lightly as she looked at Duan Ling Tian tenderly.

When Duan Ling Tian and Ke'er were about to return to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, a voice suddenly rang in the air. It seemed to have come from all directions.

Duan Ling Tian was stunned while Ke'er's expression changed drastically. Currently, she had a panicked expression on her face.

"My dear cousin…" The voice belonged to a man and was laden with fury.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt an extremely powerful energy bearing down on him without any warning. It felt as though he had been hit on the chest with a sledgehammer. His internal organs seemed to rattle from the impact. Soon after, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
