"Are you certain?"
As soon as Leng Ye finished speaking, Zhang Dong Nan, the Clan Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan, narrowed his eyes and stared at Leng Ye.
"Lord Dong Nan, I'm certain."
Leng Ye nodded confidently. "Lord Dong Nan, if you don't believe me, you can investigate this matter. After all, Duan Lingtian is quite famous in the borderlands of the Six Southeastern Regions.
Many people know that there's a beautiful woman by his side. Previously, when she was with him, she always wore a veil and a bamboo hat when she was outside.
"Come to think of it, the reason why such a beautiful woman wore a veil and a bamboo hat was because she didn't want to cause trouble because of her peerless beauty."
Leng Ye revealed everything he knew about Duan Lingtian.
"Alright. I'll look into this matter. Also, you'll follow me to the Phantom Fox Clan's estate for the time being. If what you said is true, I won't mistreat you. "
Zhang Dong Nan's voice turned cold as he looked at Leng Ye. "However, if I find out that you lied to me, don't even think about leaving the Phantom Fox Clan alive!"
"Lord Dong Nan, I can follow you. However, I'm afraid you'll have to inform my organization first."
Leng Ye did not seem to feel guilty at all.
"I have a way to contact the Vice Leader of the Blood Skull Gang. You don't have to worry about that."
Zhang Dong Nan said indifferently.
As soon as Zhang Dong Nan finished speaking, he nodded at Situ Yu before he brought the two old men and Leng Ye back to the Phantom Fox Clan.
Situ Yu did not say anything when Zhang Dong Nan brought Leng Ye away.
After all, he knew it was useless for him to say anything. After all, the Clan Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan was a Celestial Lord.
Apart from that, the Clan Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan was a Celestial Lord as well. Situ Yu would have to resort to assassination to deal with the two old men behind the Clan Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan.
The Phantom Fox Clan's methods were too strange.
He had fought with Zhang Zhen Hai before. Although their cultivation bases, profundities, and Celestial Weapons were on par with each other, Zhang Zhen Hai was able to defeat him with his Illusion Divine Ability.
"Send a message back to inform Vice Chief Chen of this matter."
Situ Yu said to the remaining Blood Skull Gang assassin behind him. The assassin nodded and sent out a message.
The Blood Skull Gang had more than one vice leader.
Situ Yu did not know which vice leader the Phantom Fox Clan was acquainted with. Therefore, he asked his men to contact Chen Yuan Shan, the vice leader of the Blood Skull Gang.
Now, the mission to deal with Duan Lingtian was personally handled by Chen Yuanshan.
On the other side.
On the way back to the Phantom Fox Clan's estate, Zhang Zhen Hai, who was following behind Zhang Dong Nan, could not help but say, "Lord Patriarch, if what Leng Ye said is true, that woman must be in the Profound Nether Mansion right now. She might even be with Duan Ling Tian."
"Moreover, there's no doubt the Profound Nether Mansion has something to do with the deaths of our two clansmen!"
Zhang Yunting said.
"Everything you've said is ultimately just a guess … Do you have any proof? Are we supposed to search the Profound Nether Mansion ourselves? "
Zhang Dongnan said indifferently.
When the two heard this, they fell silent for a moment.
"There are many grade-six Celestial Mansions under the Ten Major Clans in the Southern Heaven Territory. However, the only one I'm truly afraid of is the Profound Nether Mansion.
A hint of dread could be seen in Zhang Dong Nan's eyes as he continued to say, "My father told me there's a powerful Celestial Lord hidden in the Profound Nether Mansion. He's not much weaker than a titled Celestial Lord."
"His strength is even comparable to the Patriarchs of some of the ten great clans!"
When Zhang Dongnan said this, it wasn't just Zhang Zhenhai and Zhang Yunting who were frightened. Even Leng Ye, who was on the side, was frightened.
One had to know that the patriarchs of the ten great clans were all powerful Immortal Emperors. Ordinary Immortal Emperors couldn't be compared to them at all.
And now, Zhang Dongnan was telling them:
There was a hidden Celestial Lord in the Profound Nether Mansion?
How could they not be shocked?
"That person is said to be the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion in the Profound Nether Mansion. In terms of seniority, he should be the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion.
Zhang Dongnan continued.
"The Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion?"
Zhang Zhen Hai's eyes widened slightly. "Lord Patriarch, I remember when we visited the Profound Nether Mansion. The Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion said Duan Lingtian is the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion.
"Doesn't this mean … Duan Ling Tian is protected by that powerhouse?"
Zhang Zhen Hai's eyes were filled with dread when he spoke.
"You only realized this now?"
Zhang Zhen Hai shook his head. "We don't have any evidence. Even if we did, we wouldn't be able to prove it. To put it bluntly, the Profound Nether Mansion isn't afraid of the Phantom Fox Clan at all.
In fact, even three Phantom Foxes might not be a threat to the Profound Nether Mansion. "
As the Clan Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan, Zhang Zhen Hai was well aware of the Profound Nether Mansion's strength. He knew the Profound Nether Mansion was the strongest force in the Southern Heaven Territory below grade-five forces.
Naturally, not many people in the Southern Heaven Territory were aware of this.
"If the Profound Nether Mansion is so powerful, why would the Azure Green Mansion dare to go against them?"
Zhang Yun Ting had heard about the conflict between the Profound Nether Mansion and the Azure Green Mansion.
"Indeed, there's conflict between them. However, have you heard of any of the stronger Celestial Kings from either side dying?"
Zhang Dong Nan said, "The conflict between the Profound Nether Mansion and the Azure Green Mansion is just a small matter. There's no way the Profound Nether Mansion's Celestial Lords would lower themselves to deal with the juniors."
Realization dawned on Zhang Yun Ting when he heard Zhang Dong Nan's words.
"The Profound Nether Mansion is so powerful? Is the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion as strong as the Clan Leaders of the Ten Major Clans? "
"And now, Duan Lingtian is the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion?"
Leng Ye followed behind Zhang Dongnan and the other two. When he heard their conversation, he felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet to his head.
He did not expect the Profound Nether Mansion to be so powerful.
He did not expect Duan Lingtian to have such a high status.
"If we kill Duan Lingtian outside the Profound Nether Mansion, do you think the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion won't know about it? Will he let it go so easily? "
Thinking of this, Leng Ye couldn't help but inwardly suck in a breath of cold air as cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"I think it's better for us to inform the vice leader of this matter.
I'm sure the vice leader knows about the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion and Duan Lingtian's current status as the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion. "
Leng Ye sent a message back to the Blood Skull Gang and to Chen Yuanshan, the Deputy Leader.
"Who's that?!"
"Duan Lingtian is the Imperial Tutor of the Profound Nether Mansion?"
"According to Zhang Dong Nan, the Clan Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan, the old man from the Profound Nether Mansion is still in the Profound Nether Mansion?"
Chen Yuan Shan's expression changed drastically when he received Leng Ye's message. "It seems like we have to let the leader decide on this matter.
Let's see if we should continue with the mission to kill Duan Lingtian. "
While Chen Yuan Shan was looking for the vice leader of the Blood Skull Gang, he also sent a message to Situ Yu and Duan Lingtian outside the Profound Nether Mansion, telling them not to act rashly even if they saw Duan Lingtian leaving the mansion.
Situ Yu and Situ Yu were confused.
What was going on?
…
In the Profound Nether Mansion.
In the Imperial Tutor Pavilion.
After Duan Lingtian returned from the mansion master of the Profound Nether Mansion, he went back to cultivating. With the help of the Celestial Fruits and Celestial Pills given to him by the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion, his cultivation speed was extremely fast.
When Huan 'er woke up and gave him the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, he went to sleep while Huan' er began to cultivate.
The cycle repeated itself endlessly.
Half a month later, Huan 'er had completely absorbed the medicinal efficacy of the Ice King Celestial Fruit and the Fire King Celestial Fruit and successfully became a One Basic Celestial King.
"As expected of a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. Not only is her cultivation speed fast, but she's also able to absorb the medicinal efficacy of the Celestial Fruits so quickly!"
Although Duan Ling Tian had expected this, he could not help but sigh emotionally when he heard about Huan 'er's breakthrough.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Duan Lingtian was about to cultivate when he received a message from the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion. "I've received news that the Clan Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan has sent his men to the borderlands of the Southern Heaven Territory after returning to the Phantom Fox Clan.
Do you think it has something to do with the woman next to you? "
The Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion asked.
"The borderlands?"
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he thought to himself, "It seems like the Clan Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan is aware of something."
"Is it the Blood Skull Gang?"
As for how the Clan Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan found out about the borderlands, it was not difficult for Duan Lingtian to guess the Clan Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan must have leaked the information to him.
"If I knew this would happen, I would've asked senior to kill those three assassins!"
When Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes, streaks of killing intent flashed in his eyes as though they were about to devour someone.
"Mansion Master, we're from the borderlands."
Duan Lingtian replied.
"Do you need me to send someone to deal with the Phantom Fox Clan's men? Since the Clan Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan sent someone to the borderlands, it means he knows something and wants to confirm it. "
The Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion sent a message to Duan Lingtian. It was as though he would send someone to deal with the Phantom Fox Clan's men as soon as Duan Lingtian gave the order.
"There's no need for that."
Duan Lingtian stopped the Mansion Master of the Profound Nether Mansion. "Let him investigate. Even if we kill him, the Clan Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan will send someone else to deal with the matter."
Although Duan Lingtian appeared calm on the surface, he felt a sense of foreboding.
In truth, he was filled with a sense of crisis.
'The Blood Skull Gang must've found out a lot about me in the borderlands, including the fact that Huan' er and I were together.
Huan 'er was outside the Profound Nether Mansion's estate for a long time, so the Blood Skull Gang's assassins must've seen her.
As long as Zhang Dong Nan, the Clan Leader of the Phantom Fox Clan, interrogates the assassins, he'll definitely be able to find out about Huan 'er and me.
I'm afraid Zhang Dong Nan already knows Huan 'er is in the Profound Nether Mansion.'
