If Leng Ye had not met Duan Lingtian in the Flame Emperor Heaven, he would have thought that Duan Lingtian was dead as well.
Now that he knew Duan Ling Tian was still alive, he asked Wang Qian Zhan to investigate because he wanted to find a way to inform the organization behind him that Duan Ling Tian was still alive so that the organization could reactivate the mission that had been put on hold.
"My lord."
Wang Qian Zhan smiled bitterly as he replied, "You might not know this, but after Duan Lingtian escaped from the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate, I was expelled by Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
When I was still the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, it wasn't difficult for me to investigate Duan Lingtian's Soul Pearl. However, there's nothing I can do now. "
Wang Qian Zhan replied.
"Hmph!"
Upon hearing Wang Qian Zhan's words, Leng Ye scoffed. "Even if you're no longer the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, don't tell me you didn't have one or two trusted aides? It shouldn't be difficult for you to ask them to investigate Duan Lingtian's Soul Pearl for you, right? "
"My lord, I, Wang Qian Zhan, have offended many people in the past. Ever since I was expelled from the Simplicity Celestial Sect, I've been running from place to place. When I was still the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, my trusted aides were still willing to listen to my orders. Now that I'm in such dire straits, it's impossible for them to listen to me, let alone help me. "
Wang Qian Zhan said self-deprecatingly.
"If you do this well, I'll recommend you to become an assassin in the Blood Skull Gang."
Leng Ye replied.
Wang Qian Zhan's eyes widened in shock as soon as he heard Leng Ye's words. An expression of joy appeared on his face as he asked, "My lord, y-you're telling the truth?"
"Let's get this done first."
Leng Ye said.
"Don't worry, my lord. I'll definitely get this done!"
Wang Qian Zhan said confidently.
Although most of what he said to Leng Ye was true, it was not difficult for Leng Ye to find out if the Soul Pearl that Duan Ling Tian had placed in the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate was broken. As long as Leng Ye was willing to pay a price, someone would help him.
"Third Elder."
Wang Qian Zhan contacted the Third Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect through the Soul Pearl of the Third Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. However, when the Third Elder received Wang Qian Zhan's message, the Third Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect asked in confusion, "Grand … Grand Elder?"
"I'm no longer the First Elder … Third Elder, I'll get straight to the point. I'm looking for you because I need your help. Of course, this favor is nothing to you, but I won't let you do it for free … "
Upon hearing Wang Qian Zhan's words, the eyes of the Third Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect lit up. "Grand Elder, are you sure this is all? You're willing to pay such a high price for such a small matter? "
Such a huge price?
Wang Qian Zhan did not reply to the Third Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
Was the price too high?
Perhaps, it was quite high.
However, compared to the opportunity to become an assassin of the Blood Skull Gang, it was not worth mentioning.
After waiting for about an hour, the Third Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect sent another message to Wang Qian Zhan. A frown appeared on Wang Qian Zhan's face as his expression darkened. "Third Elder … Are you sure Duan Lingtian's Soul Pearl is still intact?"
"Yes."
The Third Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect nodded. "I personally went to see it and confirmed it several times. The Soul Pearl is indeed Duan Lingtian's."
"Alright."
Wang Qian Zhan took a deep breath before his expression softened slightly. "Third Elder, you can go and retrieve the Soul Pearl now. I placed it in … "
As soon as Wang Qian Zhan finished speaking, he had paid the price for asking about Duan Lingtian's Soul Pearl. Previously, when he was still in the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate, he had hidden a treasure somewhere in the sect's estate.
Since he did not have the opportunity to retrieve the treasure, he did not feel bad about giving it away.
'I didn't expect Duan Lingtian would survive after being tricked by a reincarnated Celestial Emperor into sacrificing himself to the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit tree …'
Wang Qian Zhan's eyes flashed. He found this hard to accept. 'Perhaps, the reincarnated Celestial Emperor didn't sacrifice Duan Lingtian … Perhaps, Duan Lingtian will die soon.'
After a while, Wang Qian Zhan contacted Leng Ye, an assassin from the Blood Skull Gang. "Lord, I've confirmed that Duan Lingtian's Soul Pearl is intact. He's still alive."
"Very good."
Leng Ye nodded before he asked Wang Qian Zhan to use the Transportation Formation in the Blood Skull Gang's estate. He would personally recommend Wang Qian Zhan to join the Blood Skull Gang.
Wang Qian Zhan did as he was told.
Leng Ye did not lie to Wang Qian Zhan. He had indeed recommended Wang Qian Zhan to join the Blood Skull Gang. At the same time, he wanted Wang Qian Zhan to testify that Duan Lingtian was still alive.
To Leng Ye, Wang Qian Zhan was only useful because he could testify that Duan Lingtian was still alive.
With this, the mission to assassinate Duan Lingtian that had been put on hold for a while was reactivated.
"What?!"
"The mission to assassinate Duan Lingtian, the disciple of the Simplicity Celestial Sect in the Profound Nether Mansion's territory, has been reactivated?!"
Chen Li, the son of Chen Yuan Shan, the Vice Leader of the Blood Skull Gang, who had accepted the mission to assassinate Duan Lingtian, received a message from his father.
"Wasn't Duan Lingtian tricked by a reincarnated Celestial Emperor into sacrificing himself to the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit tree? How's it possible that he's still alive? "
Chen Li found it hard to believe.
"As it turns out, he's still alive."
Chen Yuan Shan said in a deep voice, "However, we can't be sure if the reincarnated Celestial Emperor hasn't sacrificed Duan Lingtian yet. If that's the case, it won't be long before Duan Lingtian dies."
"That must be the case … Even if the reincarnated Celestial Emperor's strength is mediocre, ten Duan Lingtian won't be a match for him!"
Chen Li said.
"Naturally, there's another possibility … Duan Lingtian managed to escape the reincarnated Celestial Emperor's control and wasn't sacrificed."
Chen Yuan Shan continued to speculate.
…
Just as Chen Li was in a bad mood because of his father's message, a voice suddenly rang out.
In the Southern Heaven Territory of the Spirit Overarching Heaven, a travel-worn figure appeared at the Transporting Formation outside a city in the Profound Nether Mansion's territory.
"W-what is this place?"
The travel-weary figure was none other than Duan Ling Tian who had teleported to the Profound Nether Mansion in the Southern Heaven Territory of the Spirit Overarching Heaven through a Transporting Formation in Tianji City in the Yan Huang Heaven's Equal Heaven Territory.
"Red Mountain City?"
After asking around, Duan Lingtian learned the name of the city behind him. Based on this, he was certain he was in the Profound Nether Mansion.
Previously, when he was in the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he had seen a map of the Profound Nether Mansion's territory.
He remembered Red Mountain City was located south of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. It was quite a distance away from the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
However, with his current speed, it would not take long for him to reach the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
A few days later, Duan Lingtian arrived at the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate.
"It hasn't been long since I left, but it feels like a lifetime has passed …"
Duan Lingtian sighed as he stood outside the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate. Then, he flew into the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate.
As soon as he entered, he was stopped by someone.
"True disciple!"
When they saw the command token that Duan Ling Tian produced, the few patrolling disciples bowed to Duan Ling Tian in unison. After Duan Ling Tian nodded indifferently and left, they looked at Duan Ling Tian's figure that disappeared into the distance and whispered in discussion.
"Since when did the Simplicity Celestial Sect have a new true disciple?"
"You've just come out of closed-door cultivation a few days ago. I'm afraid you're unaware that the position of the last true disciple in the Simplicity Celestial Sect has been given to someone by the sect leader. That person's name is Duan Lingtian, and he just joined the sect not long ago."
"If I'm not mistaken, that purple-clad young man is Duan Lingtian!"
"Isn't Duan Lingtian a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial? I didn't see him using any profundities from a law, but I'm afraid only those with Celestial Origin Energy above a Celestial Duke can do that, right? "
"Is it possible that he's a One Basic Celestial Duke?"
"A One Basic Celestial Duke who's not even 100 years old?"
…
Duan Lingtian was, naturally, unaware of the discussions among the patrolling disciples.
As soon as he returned to the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate, the first thing he did was look for Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
As soon as Duan Lingtian entered the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate, Sun Liang Peng was already waiting for Duan Lingtian in his residence.
"Sect leader."
Since Sun Liang Peng had informed the patrolling disciples, no one stopped Duan Lingtian from entering the estate. As soon as Duan Lingtian entered the estate, he saw Sun Liang Peng who had been waiting for him in the front yard.
"How was it?"
Sun Liang Peng's eyes lit up when he saw Duan Lingtian.
Some time ago, his friends in the Profound Nether Mansion had informed him that there was a reincarnated Celestial Emperor in the Yan Huang Heaven plotting against the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. Before Duan Lingtian left, he had also heard about the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit.
For this reason, it was not difficult for him to connect the dots.
Whoosh!
As though in response to Sun Liang Peng's words, Duan Lingtian removed the Profound Divine Metal's concealment on his soul. His soul energy that contained the aura of his cultivation base was revealed to Sun Liang Peng.
"This …"
Sun Liang Peng's eyes widened in shock when he sensed the aura of Duan Lingtian's soul energy.
This was because the aura of Duan Lingtian's soul energy was that of a Ten Directions Celestial Duke!
"Y-you obtained the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit?"
