4259 I've Never Heard of You

Before Yun Qing Yan could respond, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan added, "Of course, even if you choose the former and I take my words back, I'm afraid your uncle will still be unwilling to support this marriage agreement. We've already crossed the line by intercepting Xue'er outside of the Xia clan."

When Xia Yu, the Clan Leader of the Xia clan showed up, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan could tell Xia Yu no longer intended to force his daughter to marry Yun Qing Yan despite the threats. This was also within the expectations of the Clan Leader of the Yun clan. He was, after all, familiar with the temperament of his brother-in-law.

In the past, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan's threats were effective because Xia Yun had never met Ke'er before. However, now that Ke'er regained her memories, recovered her strength from her past life, and was still unwilling to marry Yun Qing Yan, it would be difficult for him to threaten Xia Yu again. If he continued to persist, there was a chance that Xia Yu would retaliate and threaten the lives of the descendants of the Yun clan in return.

For all these reasons, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan decided to compromise under the condition that Xia Yu helped him to kill Duan Ling Tian. After all, it was no longer possible to force the marriage between Ke'er and Yun Qing Yan. It would be much easier to get Xia Yu to agree to kill someone Xia Yu had no emotional connections with.

After listening to his father explain the pros and cons of the situation, Yun Qing Yan could only unwillingly accept his fate.

At this time, Xia Yu looked at the Clan Leader of the Yun clan coldly and asked in a low voice through Voice Transmission, "What do you want me to do?"

With these words, the Leader of the Yun clan knew that Xia Yu had agreed to his condition. He was not surprised by this at all. He replied through Voice Transmission, "I hope you'll deliberately reveal that Xia Jie rescued Duan Ling Tian's family and friends from Xue'er. With that, she'll be more willing to do what we propose. We'll confine her in the spatial passage left behind by the Ling clan before their annihilation, and we'll join forces to set up a Formation there. It'll be difficult to break the Formation both of us created unless a supreme powerhouse intervenes. Even I, alone, wouldn't be able to easily break such a Formation. In fact, even two people with our cultivation bases would take some time to break the Formation. The time it'd take to break such a Formation is enough for us to deal with the situation. Her safety is guaranteed in that place, and it won't delay her cultivation. That place is suitable for cultivation and comprehending the laws, after all. I'm sure you're aware of this matter…"

Xia Yu said solemnly, "It seems like you've already thought of everything. Then, what next? Spread the news of Xue'er's imprisonment and wait for Duan Ling Tian to rescue her?"

The Clan Leader of the Yun clan replied, "Of course not. The purpose of confining Xue'er is to stop her from stirring up trouble. After 100 years, when the Realm Battlefield closes, we'll spread the news of Xue'er and Yan'er's marriage. I suspect that Duan Ling Tian is on the Realm Battlefield now so he's likely unaware of what's going on outside. I'm sure he's heard the news of Xue'er being on the Realm Battlefield and that he's there searching for her now. Hence, even if receives the news about her imprisonment on the battlefield, I'm afraid he won't believe it. As such, the best time for us to spread the news is when the Realm Battlefield closes." After a brief pause, he added, "At that time, the Yun clan and the Xia clan will hold a big banquet as well."

The Clan Leader of the Yun clan stared at Xia Yu unflinchingly, as though he was not worried that Xia Yu would reject his suggestion, and said, "I understand that this matter might taint Xue'er's reputation. As such, I'll personally explain the matter. I'll say that Duan Ling Tian killed many members of our clan and that the Xia clan is only helping the Yun clan deal with Duan Ling Tian. What do you think?"

Xia Yu seemed moved by the suggestion, but he also looked hesitant.

At this time, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan turned to look at Ke'er and said solemnly, "Xue'er, from this day onward, I promise that Yan'er will stop harassing you. However, your actions in this life are still a blatant act of disrespect to the Yun clan. As such, your father and I will confine you in a spatial tunnel to serve as an explanation to the Yun clan. Rest assured, your safety there is guaranteed, and it won't affect your cultivation and comprehension of the laws and the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. You'll be confined for a thousand years before your father and I set you free…"

Xia Yu glanced at Ke'er who was standing not far away. Although no emotions could be seen in his eyes, it was as though he was seeking her approval.

Ke'er was stunned by the suggestion. She found it unbelievable that the Yun clan was so willing to give up on the marriage agreement in exchange for her being confined for a thousand years. After all, the Yun clan and her father had been very adamant about her marrying Yun Qing Yan even after she reincarnated. She knew that her father must have pulled some strings. Otherwise, the Yun clan would not compromise so easily. She looked at her father meaningfully as she called out, "Father."

As though Xia Yu could read her mind, he said, "They're fine. Not long after you entered the Realm Battlefield, an enemy of mine from the Sanction Land showed up. During the chaos, your Third Uncle seized the chance and forcibly tore the fabric space, sending them back to the mundane realm. If you don't believe me, you can ask your Third Uncle about this. However, your Third Uncle has entered the Realm Battlefield. Perhaps, you can ask his men about this."

A trace of joy could be seen on Ke'er's face when she heard Xia Yu's words. However, a frown soon appeared on her face. She knew Xia Jie's actions carried great risks. It was impossible for Xia Jie to accurately send Duan Ling Tian's family and friends back to the Saint Province Realm. There was a high chance that they would end up in an unfamiliar place.

At this time, the Clan Leader of the Yun clan said, "Xue'er, follow your father back to the Xia clan. After you confirm their safety, your father and I will bring you to the confinement space. I sent someone to block your way because I was worried that you'd ignore Yan'er and Yun clan after finding out they'd left. I admit that I crossed the line. I even offended your father as a result. As such, I decided to give up on the marriage. The Yun clan will let things go as long as you're willing to be confined for a thousand years."

The Divine Sanction Battlefield.

In a single-person secret realm opened by a huge number of battle merits, two young men stood across from each other.

"Young man, consider yourself unlucky for meeting me," Ning Yi Xuan said with a faint smile on his face as he looked at the purple-clad Duan Ling Tian. He clearly did not intend to make a move first. Perhaps, he was so confident that he was not worried that his opponent would make a move first.

After a brief moment, Ning Yi Xuan continued to ask with a smile on his face, "Can you tell me why you accumulated so many battle merits to open this secret realm? Are you hoping to find fortuitous encounters to prepare for the chaotic region?"

"Why?" Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback. In fact, he had the same question in mind. After a moment, he asked, "So many battle merits? Is it considered a lot?"

"Is it not?" Ning Yi Xuan laughed before he said, "It should have taken a few hundred years to nearly a thousand years for an ordinary Supreme God like you to accumulate so many battle merits, right? Even if you're strong and are among the top rudimentary Supreme Gods, it'd still take you at least a few hundred years to accumulate so many battle merits. Don't tell me you took fewer than a hundred years to accumulate so many battle merits? If that's the case, I'll be really impressed."

Ning Yi Xuan's smile widened at the end of his words. A hint of contempt could be seen in the depths of his eyes as well. Obviously, he did not think that Duan Ling Tian was capable of accumulating so many battle merits in fewer than a hundred years by killing rudimentary Supreme Gods.

Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised. After a moment, he stared at Ning Yi Xuan and asked, "Do you mean to say that it didn't take you long to accumulate so many battle merits?"

Duan Ling Tian knew that it would be difficult for even the strongest rudimentary Supreme God to accumulate so many battle merits in a hundred years. However, based on Ning Yi Xuan's confidence, it seemed like Ning Yi Xuan managed to accumulate so many battle merits in such a hundred years.

Duan Ling Tian smiled inwardly. 'No wonder he's so confident. Does he think I'm a pushover?"

Ning Yi Xuan replied with a faint smile, "Well, I think I did quite well. In any case, no matter how much time I took, I'm sure it's much shorter compared to you. Let me introduce myself. I'm the brightest star in the Sanction Land's Ning clan."

Ning Yi Xuan did not bother to give his name to Duan Ling Tian. He was confident that his reputation had spread to the Divine Offering Land as well. Even Supreme Gods knew who he was unless they were a recluse or they were in closed-door cultivation for more than a thousand years.

Duan Ling Tian felt rather speechless. "You didn't even state your name. How is this an introduction? Do you think I'd know your name just because you're the brightest star in the Sanction Land's Ning clan? Sorry to burst your bubble, but I've never heard of you."
