4258 The God Defying World

The Clan Leader of the Yun clan glanced at his son. "The old ancestor? Do you believe that your old ancestor will kill you first before he kills Duan Ling Tian after he learns about how foolish you were for provoking a young man with such high potential to become a supreme powerhouse?"

Although the Clan Leader of the Yun clan only met the clan's supreme powerhouse once, he was familiar with the supreme powerhouse's temperament. He had learned about it from the various elders who were older than the supreme powerhouses and familiar with the supreme powerhouses, and he had also read records about the supreme powerhouses that were passed down by the past Clan Leaders of the Yun clan. As such, even if the supreme powerhouse agreed to kill Duan Ling Tian, he knew that the clan's supreme powerhouse would not spare his foolish son for provoking such a monstrous prodigy.

Yun Qing Yan fell silent after hearing his father's words. He really wanted Duan Ling Tian to die, but not at the cost of his life. He glanced at Ke'er before he asked anxiously again through Voice Transmission, "Then, what should we do, father? She's not afraid of death then, and she's not afraid of it now. She'll definitely end her life again without hesitation if she's pushed to the limit. Father, why don't you speak to my uncle? I'm sure he still supports this marriage. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to use Duan Ling Tian's family and friends to force her into marrying me…"

A hint of frustration could be seen in the depths of the eyes of the Clan Leader of the Yun clan. He really could not believe that his foolish son believed the Clan Leader of the Xia clan was going to marry Ke'er to him.

After Ke'er ended her life in the past, the Clan Leader of the Xia clan had grown somewhat estranged from him and Yun Qing Yan. Although he did not express it, there was no doubt that he resented Yun Qing Yan and his father.

Yun Qing Yan was unaware that before he even brought Ke'er back to the Xia clan, his father had gone to the Xia clan to threaten Xia Yu, the Clan Leader of the Xia clan, to marry his daughter to Yun Qing Yan. Otherwise, Xa Yu would not have allowed Yun Qing Yan to marry his daughter, whom Yun Qing Yan once harassed to the point where she ended her life.

The Clan Leader of the Yun clan could not be bothered to respond to Yun Qing Yan. Instead, he looked at Ke'er, who was standing not far away, and said, "Xue'er, don't be rash. I'll ask your father to come over now."

After the Clan Leader of the Yun clan finished speaking, he quickly sent a message.

Meanwhile, Ke'er stared at him vigilantly, still ready to unleash her Divine Energy at a moment's notice. She clearly did not trust him at all.

It did not take long before a figure with a domineering air appeared. The figure belonged to a middle-aged man dressed in a fine robe. He was handsome, and Ke'er features bore a resemblance to his. It was not hard to see that he must have been exceptionally handsome when he was young.

Ke'er's Divine Energy surged slightly upon seeing the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged frowned slightly as he looked at Ke'er. Then, he asked in a deep voice that contained a hint of tenderness, "Xue'er, are you alright?"

"Father, I'm fine."

Ke'er hesitated briefly before she addressed the middle-aged man as 'father'. It was due to the habit from her past life that she addressed him as such. Needless to say, she still resented him deeply.

Xia Yu, the Clan Leader of the Xia clan, looked at the Clan Leader of the Yun clan indifferently before he said in a casual yet firm tone, "You've done enough."

The Clan Leader of the Yun clan said with a smile, "Junior brother-in-law, since Xue'er is still reluctant to marry Yan'er, the Yun clan and I will no longer push for the marriage. Let's cancel the marriage agreement."

Xia Yu and even Yun Qing Yan were dumbstruck when they heard these words.

Xia Yu stared at the Clan Leader of the Yun clan before he asked, "Are you sure?"

After learning that his daughter had successfully reincarnated, Xia Yu did not enter to force his daughter to marry Yun Qing Yan. However, previously, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan had threatened to involve both clans' supreme powerhouses.

It was unlikely for the Yun clan's supreme powerhouse to make a move against the Xia clan's supreme powerhouse, but in the unlikely chance that it happened, it would put the supreme powerhouse of the Xia clan, and also the Yun clan, in danger, which would not be beneficial to the Xia clan. Moreover, if the other supreme powerhouses found out about the Yun clan's supreme powerhouse's action, they would punish him at most; they definitely would not kill him. After all, in the Outer Boundary's God Defying World, all supreme powerhouses were the pillars of the battle forces. Due to their importance, supreme powerhouses who injured their peers were unlikely to be killed. The heaviest punishment they would receive was to guard the most perilous place in the Outer Boundary for a period of time.

The Clan Leader of the Yun clan nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm sure." However, at the same time, he said to Xia Yu through Voice Transmission, "Junior brother-in-law, I have only one request. I hope you'll kill Xue'er's husband from the lower realm to vent my son's anger. That lowly peasant from the lower realm defiled the Xia clan's noble bloodline. It's a sin he should atone for with his life!"

Xia Yu's heart moved upon hearing these words. Based on his understanding of the Clan Leader of the Yun clan, things were definitely not as simple as he made them out to be. It was impossible for the Clan Leader of the Yun clan to give up on the marriage or retreat for a simple native of the lower realm.

'What did that brat do for him to give up on the marriage?' Xia Yu wondered. He really could not figure it out.

After a moment, Xia Yu asked, "Tell me why are you so adamant about killing him that you're willing to give up on the marriage? Be honest. It's pointless to deceive me."

The Clan Leader of the Yun clan replied, "As expected of the Clan Leader of the Xia clan. You're really perceptive. Indeed, there's a reason why I want him dead. I'll be honest with you. That man is now a rudimentary Supreme God, and he nearly killed my son. He became a rudimentary Supreme God despite being younger than 1,000 years old. I can't allow a person like him to continue to grow… He's a threat to my clan."

Xia Yu was shocked by these words.

'That kid from the lower realm is now a rudimentary Supreme God?'

Xia Yu found it unbelievable. Previously, his brother, Xia Jie, had told him that Duan Ling Tian was not an ordinary person, but he did not take Xia Jie's words seriously. Despite how extraordinary he was, what could a native of the lower realm achieve? It was amazing enough if he made a name for himself in the Devata Realms. It was only natural that he was shocked now that he found out that a native of the lower realm achieved such extraordinary feats. He had never heard of anyone who became a Supreme God before the age of 1,000.

'That kid's innate talent is monstrous… He's truly worthy of Xue'er…'

The Clan Leader of the Yun clan seemed to be able to read Xia Yu's thoughts from his eyes. He said, "Don't even think about allowing them to be together. It's fine if Xue'er doesn't want to marry Yan'er, but Duan Ling Tian has to die. That's as far as I'm willing to concede." Then, he said threateningly, "Otherwise, who knows what will happen to your clan's supreme powerhouse when he's on duty? You understand what I mean, right?"

A hint of reluctance could be seen in Xia Yu's cold gaze. However, he could only compromise. The Xia clan's supreme powerhouse was crucial to the Xia clan. Without the supreme powerhouse, the Xia clan would fall. Although Duan Ling Tian was a peerless prodigy, it would take some time before he grew into his potential. As such, it was only natural for him to compromise.

After a moment, Xia Yu asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Before the Clan Leader of the Yun clan could reply, Yun Qing Yan, who finally recovered from his shock, cried out, "Father! Why are you doing this?"

Yun Qing Yan did not understand why his father would change his mind and agree to cancel the marriage agreement. It was so sudden that he lost his composure completely.

"Shut up," the Clan Leader of the Yun clan said before he berated his son, "Who are you to question my decision?" After that, he said through Voice Transmission, "Do you want to marry Xia Ning Xue and further provoke Duan Ling Tian, or do you want to give up on her and kill Duan Ling Tian? I'll let you choose. If you choose the former, I'll take back my words immediately."

…

The Divine Sanction Battlefield.

Two figures, who were moving at high speed in search of each other, finally met.

Duan Ling Tian's eyes flashed as he looked at the young man in front of him. He wondered why the young man did not hide. Was the young man so confident about his strength?

At the same time, the Sanction Land's Ning clan's Ning Yi Xuan, who was standing across from Duan Ling Tian, looked at Duan Ling Tian and shared the same thoughts as Duan Ling Tian.
