Chapter 3302: Duan Ling Tian Displays His Strength

At this moment, Ouyang Qi Fei, Duan Ling Tian's Fifth Senior Brother, said, "Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, Sixth Junior Brother, and I had asked around. A few days before you met Dugu Wen and Dugu Wu, someone saw Lei Jun looking for Han Yun Jin before both of them left the Heavenly Pool Palace's estate together. I suspect that was when they looked for Dugu Wen and Dugu Wu. Shortly after they returned, Dugu Wen and Dugu Wu tried to assassinate you. I don't think there'd be so many coincidences… Unfortunately, these are all our speculations, and we don't have any evidence. Even if we're 100% certain they're the culprits, there's no way the Heavenly Pool Palace will punish them since we're lacking evidence."

Upon hearing this, a gloomy expression appeared on the face of Hong Fei who always had a smile on his chubby face.

"Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Sister, Fifth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother…" Duan Ling Tian felt warm in his heart when he discovered his senior brothers and senior sisters did not spare any effort to investigate this matter.

Hu Mei said, "Teacher even went to look for Pavilion Master Lei to test the water. That's why he asked her to accompany him to wait for your return today. However, based on Teacher's observation, it's likely that she's not aware of this matter…"

"That's right," Xu Lang said, "If Lei Ying was aware of this and supported Lei Jun's decision, he wouldn't have looked for Han Yun Jin to share the cost of hiring Dugu Wen and Dugu Wu."

Duan Ling Tian nodded; he agreed with Xu Lang. If Lei Jun had Lei Ying's support, there was no need for him to expose his motive to Han Yun Jin at all. It was clear that Lei Jun had only looked for Han Yun Jin because he could not bear the cost of hiring titled Celestial Emperors alone. His eyes glinted coldly as he muttered to himself, "Lei Jun, Han Yun Jin…"

"Brother Ling Tian. I'll look for Lei Ying now and ask for an explanation," Huan'er suddenly said at this moment. Prior to this, she was not aware of this information. Duan Ling Tian's senior brothers and senior sisters did not tell her anything about their investigation. After listening to all of them, she finally realized why Wen Wan'er had suddenly decided to follow her to Lei Ying's cultivation place. Now that it was almost all but confirmed that Lei Jun had a hand in the assassination attempt, her Celestial Origin Energy surged out violently as anger burned in her eyes. If Lei Jun were present, she would not have been able to hold back from attacking him.

"Huan'er, don't act rashly." Duan Ling Tian grabbed Huan'er's hand.

"Brother Ling Tian, he wants to kill you," Huan'er said icily as she suppressed her anger.

This was Duan Ling Tian's first time seeing the always gentle Huan'er losing her composure. He knew it was because of him so he did not blame her. In fact, he was rather moved. Finally, he shook his head and said, "Huan'er, we don't have evidence. Even if we have evidence, we still have to have a strategy to resolve this matter. If it won't do us any favor if we act recklessly."

After Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he sent a Voice Transmission to Huan'er. "Huan'er, I've found out where your father is being imprisoned in the Heavenly Pool Palace. I suspect your mother is there as well. Now is not the time for you to get into a conflict with Lei Ying and Lei Jun. Your identity as Lei Ying's disciple is valuable for us to rescue your parents."

Huan'er replied angrily, "Brother Ling Tian, although I want to rescue my parents, I can't just ignore what he did."

"Don't worry… I'll find a way to deal with Lei Jun and Han Yun Jin," Duan Ling Tian replied as his eyes flashed with a cold light.

At this moment, Hu Mei looked at Duan Ling Tian with hints of curiosity and skepticism in her eyes as she asked, "Little Junior Brother, how did you manage to escape? Did you really kill Dugu Wen?"

"Third Senior Sister, you don't believe me?" Duan Ling Tian said with a hint of helplessness.

"It's not that I don't believe you… It's… It's just too unbelievable," Hu Mei replied with a wry smile.

Xu Lang and his other prodigious disciples shifted their attention to Duan Ling Tian as well upon hearing Hu Mei's question. They were, naturally, curious as well.

"He was very strong but also careless… I teleported two Ning Dragons, whose combined strength is on par with that of a titled Celestial Emperors, from my Little World to his back. With the help of the manifestation of the Pine Willow Divine Tree from the Godly Image Phenomenon I mastered in the Title Temple, I managed to kill him," Duan Ling Tian explained patiently. He had long come up with this excuse before arriving at the Heavenly Pool Palace's estate. He did not fear the consequences of people finding out about the existence of the Ning Dragons in his Little World and the Godly Image Phenomenon. Even people coveted the Ning Dragons, there was nothing they could do since it would be nigh difficult for them to take the Celestial Beasts away from his Little World. Even if they succeeded in taking the Ning Dragons away, there was no guarantee they would be able to get the Ning Dragons to listen to them. As for the Godly Image Phenomenon, similarly, it was not something that others could snatch from him.

"Ning Dragons whose combined strength is comparable to that of a titled Celestial Emperor?"

"The manifestation of the Pine Willow Divine Tree from the Godly Image Phenomenon?"

Everyone, including Xu Lang, seemed to be in a daze when they heard Duan Ling Tian's words.

Upon seeing their reactions, Duan Ling Tian said, "It seems like Teacher, senior brothers, and senior sisters want to have a look? I don't mind showing it to all of you…"

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian held onto Huan'er and brought her out of the main hall like a gust of wind.

The others, naturally, followed suit.

Duan Ling Tian hovered high in the sky, and with just a thought, he brought the Ning Dragons in his Little World out.

"Teacher," Duan Ling Tian looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Do you want to test their strength?"

Xu Lang's eyes widened imperceptibly when he saw the pair of Ning Dragons. He said skeptically, "Old Seventh, I know a thing or two about Ning Dragons. At most, their strength should only be comparable to a Three Talents Celestial Emperor or Four Phenomenon Celestial Emperor, right? Are they really capable of killing Dugu Wen with their combined strength?"

Duan Ling Tian said with a faint smile on his face, "Teacher, you'll know after you've tested their strength."

"Teacher, hurry! I want to see the strength of Little Junior Brother's Ning Dragons as well!" Hong Fei said excitedly.

Swoosh!

Without hesitation, Xu Lang moved and appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian.

"Teacher, I'm ready."

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he teleported the Ning Dragons behind Xu Lang.

Although Xu Lang had hastily retreated, the Ning Dragons' joint attack was only a hair's breadth away from. All he could do at this moment was to deflect the attack. Although he had used all his strength to deflect the attack, he was still sent flying back, looking rather miserable. Although Duan Ling Tian had given him a reminder, he was still careless. If he were not careless, he would not have ended up in such a state.

"So powerful!"

The impact from the collision rippled out in waves.

The others could feel the scorching heat from the waves of energy and had no choice but to erect a barrier around themselves using their Celestial Origin Energies.

As Duan Ling Tian returned the Ning Dragons to his Little World, he said with a faint smile, "Teacher, you were careless."

Following that, the manifestation of the Pine Willow Divine Tree from the Godly Image Phenomenon appeared before everyone's eyes.

"The Pine Willow Divine Tree!"

"I remember Little Junior Brother's opponent, Fan Qi, was a Pine Willow Divine Tree, right?"

Hu Mei, Wen Wan'er, and Hong Fei looked at each other in disbelief.

"At that time I thought Little Junior Brother's methods were too simple and straightforward to deal with Fan Qi… It seems like there's more than meets the eyes with Little Junior Brother," Hu Mei said. After a beat, she asked, "Little Junior Brother, you only mastered the Godly Image Phenomenon after killing Fan Qi, right?"

As the Pine Willow Divine Tree slowly faded away, Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Hu Mei said with a sigh, "It's great that you benefited from Fan Qi's death. I'm sure not even in his wildest dreams would he expect that not only are you capable of killing him, but you would even go on to master his Godly Image Phenomenon. If he was privy to these things, I'm sure even if someone held a knife to his neck, he wouldn't have dared to challenge you to a life-death battle." After a while, her eyes lit up as she continued to say, "It's really unexpected that apart from Eldest Senior Sister, we have someone else in our ranks who's capable of killing a titled Celestial Emperor as well!"

"Eldest Senior Sister?" Duan Ling Tian was surprised when he heard Hu Mei mentioning their Eldest Senior Sister whom he had yet to meet and learned that she was capable of killing a titled Celestial Emperor.
