"Wait a minute … Yan Ru Yu, are you saying Duan Lingtian and the Duan Lingtian from the Profound Nether Mansion are the same person?"
Hou Tong Xuan was shocked when he heard Yan Ru Yu's words. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
The others were also shocked by Yan Ru Yu's words. "Are you serious?"
"That's too shocking! He was only a Ten Directions Celestial Duke 30 years ago, and now, he's ranked 13th in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm? "
"Yan Ru Yu, are you sure?"
…
At this moment, the other seven people looked at Yan Ru Yu with an incredulous expression on their faces.
"Why would I lie to you?"
Yan Ru Yu shook her head. "I can tell you … this is 100% true. If you see him in the future, you can ask him about it. "
"This is unbelievable … Someone who was still in the middle realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm 30 years ago has already made a name for himself in the upper realm."
Hou Tong Xuan sighed.
"Hmph! In my opinion, he must have relied on the woman next to him. With his strength, he's definitely not strong enough to rank 13th. "
A young man dressed in a green robe scoffed.
"Hu Lei, we shouldn't jump to conclusions before we know the truth. That Duan Lingtian is not as simple as he seems."
Yan Ru Yu said.
Although Yan Ru Yu did not know Duan Lingtian, he had watched Duan Lingtian rise to prominence.
"What? Do you know him well? "
Hu Lei, a lineal disciple of the Hu Clan, one of the Ten Major Clans in the Southern Heaven Territory, asked Yan Ru Yu.
"Not really … However, how could someone who managed to snatch the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit from a reincarnated Celestial Emperor be simple?"
Yan Ru Yu asked as he looked at Hu Lei intently.
"The Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit?!"
Upon hearing Yan Ru Yu's words, not only Hu Lei, but the others were stunned as well.
"Is that true?"
"Although I've heard about it from my seniors, I thought it was fake."
"Which one of the reincarnations of Immortal Emperors isn't a shrewd person? How could someone steal the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit? Whether you believe it or not, I don't really believe it. "
…
Everyone shook their heads.
"It's true."
"I have a friend," Yan Ruyu said. "He's the son of Chen Yuanshan, the deputy leader of the Blood Skull Gang. Back then, he vouched for someone and accepted the mission to target the Duan Lingtian."
At that time, Duan Lingtian was only an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
Even though he's only an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, the assassins sent by the Blood Skull Gang were much stronger than him.
You should know that even the weakest assassin in the Blood Skull Gang is a One Basic Celestial King.
"Of course, he didn't kill the Blood Skull assassin with his own strength. Let's not talk about that for now. "
However, he did obtain the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. In just a few years, he managed to become a Ten Directions Celestial Duke from a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
Upon hearing Yan Ruyu's words, the expressions of the other eight people turned grim immediately. They knew there was no reason for Yan Ruyu to lie.
"It seems like Duan Lingtian isn't as simple as he seems."
"If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't be confident he'd be able to snatch food from the tiger's mouth."
"Since a reincarnated Celestial Emperor wants to obtain the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit, he must be well-prepared. In the history of the Devata Realms, there have been cases of reincarnated Celestial Emperors seizing the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit. However, most of the time, the person who seizes the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit is a reincarnated Celestial Emperor. Moreover, the reincarnated Celestial Emperor was much stronger than the person who severed the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit! "
"I'm very interested in him now. I hope I'll have a chance to meet him in the future."
…
Duan Lingtian was unaware that the top ten people in the grade-one secret realm, including Yan Ruyu who was ranked first, were talking about him.
Currently, he was in the grade-two secret realm with Huan 'er.
Around them, there were another 28 people.
There was a spacious hall in the grade-two secret realm. However, the hall was sealed from top to bottom. There was no exit at all.
"It seems like we'll have to wait for a while before the grade-two secret realm officially opens."
Previously, Duan Lingtian had learned from the Pavilion Master of the Imperial Tutor Pavilion about the secret realms in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. After entering the secret realm, they would have to wait for about an hour before the secret realm officially opened.
At this moment, apart from Duan Lingtian, Huan 'er, and a few other people, the rest of the people in the hall were separated from each other. The atmosphere was rather tense.
Many people looked at Duan Ling Tian and Huan 'er from time to time. It was obvious they were curious about the duo.
Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er could be considered as famous people in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
After all, not everyone would be able to rank in the top 20 on their first attempt at entering the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.
"This is my first time entering the grade-two secret realm. I've only been to the grade-three secret realm before. Brother, do you know what we should pay attention to in the grade-two secret realm? "
One of the middle-aged men asked the other middle-aged man standing next to him curiously.
However, the other middle-aged man merely glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.
Upon seeing this, Duan Lingtian shook his head.
In the grade-two secret realm, everyone was a competitor. Unless they knew each other, they would not lend a helping hand.
In just a blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
Rumble!
Rumble!
…
With a series of rumbling sounds, a door opened in every direction of the hall. There were a total of four doors.
Nineteen figures flew out of the four doors at lightning speed and disappeared from the four doors in just a blink of an eye.
"Hm?"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian discovered those who were in a hurry to leave the hall were looking at him.
These people, who were strangers to each other, were now looking at him and Huan 'er in unison.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
The sound of a gust of wind rang in the air as the remaining nine people surrounded Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er. All of them glared at Duan Lingtian and Huan' er.
"Everyone, what's the meaning of this?"
Duan Lingtian frowned slightly. He did not know any of these people, and yet, they were attacking him and Huan 'er.
"You can leave, but this woman must stay."
The only woman among the nine people was dressed in a tight red leather jacket. She stared at Huan 'er coldly as she spoke to Duan Lingtian.
"Hm?"
Huan 'er looked at the woman in confusion when she heard her words. She did not understand why this woman, whom she had never met before, was targeting her.
"Why?"
Duan Lingtian asked in a deep voice as his gaze turned cold.
He did not care if these people were targeting him. However, he would not allow them to target Huan 'er.
"Brat, do you know who she is?"
A middle-aged man among the nine glanced at the red-clothed woman and asked with a chuckle.
"She's Jun Qiu He, a core disciple of the Wind Thunder Dao Sect. Jun Wang Chen, whom the woman beside you killed earlier, is her younger brother!"
Another old man said with a grin.
"I see."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Duan Lingtian finally understood. As it turned out, these people were here to seek revenge.
"You're quite capable to have so many people helping you."
Duan Lingtian looked at Jun Qiu He in surprise. "You must have paid a hefty price to get these people to help you, right?"
If there were only one or two people helping Jun Qiu He, it might be because she had a wide network of friends.
However, there were eight people who were ranked in the top 30 in the upper realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm who were helping Jun Qiu He. Therefore, Jun Qiu He must have promised them something.
"I don't mind paying a hefty price as long as I can avenge my brother," Jun Qiu He sneered.
Jun Qiu He sneered as she glared at Huan 'er. It was as though she could not wait to kill Huan' er to avenge her younger brother.
"You only have yourself to blame for your younger brother's death. I'll give you a chance to scram! Otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless! "
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as a cold gleam flashed in them.
"I'd like to see how merciless all of you are!"
Jun Qiuhe sneered again. As soon as she finished speaking, she moved like a bolt of lightning toward Huan 'er.
Purple lightning coiled around her body, making her look like a god of thunder, majestic and awe-inspiring.
It was clear she had comprehended the law of thunder.
Swoosh!
Just as Jun Qiuhe moved, a long whip appeared in her hand. The whip was crimson and was surrounded by electric snakes. It swept through the void, causing the air to stagnate.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
After Jun Qiu He made her move, the other eight people made their moves as well. Since they had received benefits from Jun Qiu He, it was only natural for them to help her.
"Huan 'er, there's no need to show mercy."
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed with killing intent when he saw the nine people attacking him. His Celestial Origin Energy that contained the Space Elemental Profundity surged out of his body as he said in a deep voice.
"Alright, Brother Ling Tian."
Huan 'er's eyes flashed with killing intent when she sensed Duan Lingtian's killing intent.
In just a blink of an eye, Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er disappeared from their original spot. When they reappeared, they were already outside the encirclement of the nine people.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er spread out.
"Four of you, go and kill that brat … The rest of you, help me kill this little b * tch!"
Jun Qiu He ordered her subordinates before she made her move again. She flicked her whip and charged toward Huan 'er.
Four people charged toward Duan Lingtian.
The rest of them went to help Huan 'er.
"Since all of you want to die, I'll fulfill your wishes!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes turned cold when he saw the four people charging at him menacingly. He no longer teleported away. Instead, his Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body as his Spatial Domain spread out.
The four people were instantly shrouded by the Spatial Domain.
"Shackle!"
With just a thought in Duan Ling Tian's mind, the four of them were trapped in a square cage that was burning with golden flames.
