Leng Ye extended his Divine Consciousness and shrouded the entire canyon.
At first, he thought this was just another routine investigation. However, when his Divine Sense enveloped the canyon and he discovered the two auras in the canyon, his eyes suddenly lit up.
One of the auras belonged to the person he was looking for, Duan Lingtian!
"Found him!"
Although Leng Ye usually had a cold expression on his face, a bright smile could be seen on his face at this moment.
The bright smile only lasted for a moment before it turned into a sneer.
"I didn't expect him to still be alive … However, it's good that he's alive. I can kill him with my own hands!"
Leng Ye muttered to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the other Blood Skull assassin beside him to reply, he swooped down like an eagle.
In just a blink of an eye, he had entered the canyon.
At the same time, he shrouded the entire canyon with his Divine Consciousness, not missing a single corner. He was certain Duan Lingtian would not be able to escape under his watch unless he had a Celestial Talisman like the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman.
However, a Wind Shadow Escape Talisman like the one Duan Lingtian had used previously was extremely precious even to Leng Ye.
He did not believe Duan Lingtian would have a second Wind Shadow Escape Talisman like that.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Leng Ye stood high up in the air in the canyon. His gaze fell on one of the two Immortal's Caves that were next to each other on one side of the canyon.
"Do you want to come out on your own, or do you want me to go in and look for you?"
Leng Ye asked Duan Lingtian mockingly. It was as though he was a cat toying with a mouse.
"This voice …"
When Leng Ye's voice entered the cave, Duan Lingtian realized someone was here. Based on the voice, it was not difficult to tell that the person did not have good intentions. Moreover, Duan Lingtian felt that the person's voice was somewhat familiar.
After a while, a thought flashed in Duan Ling Tian's mind as he recalled where and when he had heard the same voice. Horror dawned on his face immediately.
"This person … He's the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang who attacked me outside the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate! A Nine Palaces Immortal King assassin! "
After realizing who it was, Duan Lingtian's expression changed.
If it was not for the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman given to him by Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he would not have been able to escape from Leng Ye.
"Why would a Blood Skull assassin be here?"
"How did he know I was here?"
Duan Lingtian didn't think it was a coincidence that the Blood Skull Gang had bumped into him here. After all, this wasn't the Spirit Overarching Heaven, but the Jade Emperor Heaven.
The Blood Skull Gang was an assassin from the Spirit Overarching Heaven's Southern Heaven Territory, so there was no way they would show up here for no reason.
Furthermore, even if there was something going on, it was impossible for him to coincidentally appear here.
In that case, there was only one possibility.
The other party had come for him!
"Perhaps they were already targeting me before I left the Spirit Overarching Heaven …."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"However, even if I was targeted, Ling Jueyun and I were transported to the Jade Emperor Heaven's Equal Heaven Territory … Even if the Blood Skull Gang wanted to kill me, it's impossible for them to know I'm here, right?"
Duan Lingtian was puzzled.
"Duan Lingtian, who's that? Do you have an enemy here? "
Upon hearing Ling Jueyun's Voice Transmission, Duan Lingtian could only smile bitterly. "Even if I wanted to have an enemy here, I'd have to find the time to go out and cause trouble …"
"The person isn't from here. He's from the Spirit Overarching Heaven's Southern Heaven Territory."
Duan Lingtian replied through Voice Transmission.
"Someone from the Spirit Overarching Heaven's Southern Heaven Territory? He chased you all the way here? "
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's Voice Transmission, Ling Jueyun's eyes widened slightly. "What kind of enmity do you have with him? Why did he chase you all the way here?"
Moreover, even if you're targeted in Ax Mountain City before you leave the Spirit Overarching Heaven, they'll still need the Profound Nether Mansion's permission to find out where you've gone through the Transporting Formation in Ax Mountain City. "
Ling Jueyun's tone turned solemn as he continued to say, "Ordinary people wouldn't be able to obtain the Profound Nether Mansion's permission to spy on the Transporting Formation set up by the Profound Nether Mansion."
"Who is he?"
Ling Jueyun asked again.
"He's an assassin from the Blood Skull Gang."
Duan Lingtian smiled bitterly.
"The Blood Skull Gang? Is it the Blood Skull Gang, one of the top assassin organizations in the Southern Heaven Territory? "
Ling Jueyun was surprised. He did not expect Duan Lingtian would be targeted by the Blood Skull Gang. "How did they target you? Did someone issue a mission to kill you? "
"Based on what I know, it's not easy to issue a mission to them …"
Before Ling Jueyun could finish speaking, Duan Lingtian interrupted him. "We'll talk about this later … The most important thing now is to find a way to leave this place."
"The assassin is a Nine Palaces Celestial King!"
Duan Lingtian said.
"A Nine Palaces Celestial King? The Blood Skull Gang sent a Nine Palaces Celestial King to kill you? "
Ling Jueyun was confused. He could not figure out why they would send a Nine Palaces Celestial King to kill a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
After a while, Ling Jueyun and Duan Lingtian left the cave abode together and flew up into the air side by side.
"He's Duan Lingtian?"
At this moment, the other assassin from the Blood Skull Gang had followed Leng Ye and appeared next to him. He instantly shifted his gaze to Duan Ling Tian.
Before coming here, the assassin was familiar with Duan Lingtian's appearance. Therefore, he recognized Duan Lingtian with just a glance.
"Yes, it's him."
Leng Ye nodded. Then, he looked at Duan Lingtian and sneered. "Duan Lingtian, you managed to escape under my nose with the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman given to you by Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. Let's see how you're going to escape this time!"
"I'm curious. How did you find out I'm here?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously as he looked at Leng Ye.
"Since you're about to die, there's no harm in telling you this. The Vice Leader of the Blood Skull Gang has found out through his connections in the Profound Nether Mansion that you've teleported to Yan Mountain Mansion in the Jade Emperor Heaven's Equal Heaven Territory.
Yan Mountain Mansion is huge … However, we heard that a reincarnated Celestial Emperor had set up a trap to lure people here to sacrifice the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit tree. He had lured peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials from five Devata Realms here. The Spirit Overarching Heaven is one of the five Devata Realms.
For this reason, it wasn't difficult for us to guess you were lured here by the reincarnated Celestial Emperor as well.
Although the reincarnated Celestial Emperor had used a Transporting Formation to send you away, we were certain you weren't far away. For this reason, we began to search the area for you.
Initially, we didn't have much hope in finding a needle in a haystack. However, we didn't expect to find you here today!
It seems like even the heavens don't want you to live, Duan Lingtian! "
It was clear Leng Ye was certain Duan Lingtian was going to die soon. Otherwise, he would not have said so much.
If he had met Duan Lingtian for the first time, he would not have said so much.
The reason he had said so much today was due to the humiliation he felt from Duan Lingtian's escape.
This time, he was not in a hurry to kill Duan Lingtian. He wanted to wait for Duan Lingtian's despair to reach a certain level before he killed Duan Lingtian.
Only then would he be able to vent his anger.
"I see."
Duan Ling Tian finally understood Leng Ye's words. Then, he shifted his gaze to the other assassin from the Blood Skull Gang who was standing next to Leng Ye. "I'm curious. Is your companion a Nine Palaces Celestial King like you?"
"Hmph! You're pretty smart to have guessed my cultivation base. Duan Lingtian, although this is our first time meeting, I've heard a lot about you! "
The assassin standing next to Leng Ye said with a scoff.
"Two Nine Palaces Celestial Kings …"
Ling Jueyun, who was standing next to Duan Lingtian, was shocked when he heard the assassin's words.
At this moment, he was even more curious. Why would the Blood Skull Gang send such a powerful assassin to kill Duan Ling Tian?
He was certain there must be a reason behind this.
Otherwise, the Blood Skull Gang would not waste their resources like this.
"To be able to make a name for myself in the Blood Skull Gang and have two Nine Palaces Celestial Kings traverse the Devata Realms just to kill me … I, Duan Lingtian, won't die in vain?"
Duan Lingtian said with a sigh when he heard the words of the assassin standing next to Leng Ye.
However, as soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on his face as he said, "However, I'm afraid both of you will have wasted your time."
"Hm?"
Duan Lingtian's words came out of the blue, causing Leng Ye and the assassin standing next to him to be taken aback.
Both of them were stunned by Duan Lingtian's words.
Swoosh!
A Celestial Talisman appeared in Ling Jueyun's hand. Then, a flame enveloped Ling Jueyun at lightning speed. In just a blink of an eye, Ling Jueyun was engulfed in flames.
Boom!
A powerful aura surged out of Ling Jueyun's body, causing the expressions of Leng Ye and the assassin standing next to him to change drastically.
Based on the powerful aura, it was not difficult for them to tell that the Celestial Talisman Ling Jueyun had crushed was not an ordinary Celestial Talisman.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
…
Leng Ye's energy surged. However, just as he was about to make a move, Ling Jue Yun's flames had already shrouded Duan Ling Tian. Then, Ling Jue Yun disappeared before Leng Ye's eyes.
The Celestial Talisman that Ling Jueyun had crushed was a life-saving Celestial Talisman. It was not inferior to the Wind Shadow Escape Talisman that Duan Lingtian had used previously. Therefore, it was impossible for Leng Ye to catch up to Ling Jueyun.
