In the past, Duan Lingtian only knew that his Eldest Senior Sister was Xu Lang's daughter and was very mysterious.
He also knew that his Eldest Senior Sister was stronger than his Second Senior Brother, Lu Ji.
However, he did not expect her to be so strong.
He did not expect his Eldest Senior Sister to be able to kill a titled Celestial Emperor!
What did this mean?
Even if his Eldest Senior Sister was not as strong as a titled Celestial Emperor, she must have other means to kill titled Celestial Emperors.
Just like him.
Hu Mei chuckled and said, "Little Junior Brother, don't think that you're the strongest among us just because you were able to kill Dugu Wen by luck.
Hu Mei chuckled and said, "Although Eldest Senior Sister didn't obtain a title, she killed a titled Celestial Emperor a long time ago."
"Right now, Eldest Senior Sister's strength is comparable to Teacher's."
Hu Mei glanced at Xu Lang after she finished speaking.
Now, when Xu Lang heard Hu Mei mention her Eldest Senior Sister, his eyes involuntarily filled with nostalgia and gentleness.
After all, she was his daughter.
Hong Fei laughed and said, "Little Junior Brother, Eldest Senior Sister has always said that we're useless. Even Second Senior Brother was scolded by her.
Hong Fei laughed and said, "Now, you've made us proud … If Senior Sister knows that one of us killed Dugu Wen, she definitely won't scold us anymore!"
"Sixth Junior Brother, you've figured it out."
Ouyang Qi Fei shook his head and smiled wryly. "Even if Eldest Senior Sister finds out about this, at most, she won't scold us. However, she'll still exclude Little Junior Brother and continue to scold us."
As soon as Ouyang Qi Fei finished speaking, Lu Ji, who had remained silent all this while, nodded and said with a faint smile on his face, "Little Junior Brother, I have something to attend to. I'll take my leave first."
After saying his goodbyes, Lu Ji left. He was heading in the direction of his own cultivation area.
"Look at how both of you managed to persuade Second Senior Brother to leave."
Hu Mei said as she glared at Ouyang Qi Fei and Hong Fei.
"Eldest Senior Sister's strength has already given Second Senior Brother a lot of pressure. Now that Little Junior Brother is here, Second Senior Brother must be feeling even more pressure.
Wen Wan 'er said leisurely, "Now, Second Senior Brother must be busy going back to cultivate."
Hong Fei shook his head, the fat on his face jiggling. "Second Senior Brother's expectations for himself are too high … If it were me, I wouldn't even think about comparing myself with Eldest Senior Sister and Youngest Junior Brother when I think about how freakish they are."
"Sixth Junior Brother, it is precisely because you have such thoughts that you cannot even compare to Little Junior Brother."
Ouyang Qifei smiled.
"Fifth Senior Brother, don't just talk about me … I can't compare to Little Junior Brother, but can you?"
Hong Fei grumbled.
Ouyang Qi Fei was stunned at first, but he quickly concealed his awkwardness and said with a smile, "I'm not as good as Little Junior Brother, but I'm still stronger than you, right?"
"You …"
Hong Fei was furious, but he had nothing to say, because he was indeed the weakest disciple under Xu Lang.
Duan Ling Tian stood at the side as he watched his Fifth Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Brother fooling around. A smile could not help but appear on his face.
At this moment, he had already treated these people as his family.
Before he returned, he did not expect his senior brothers, senior sisters, and his teacher, Xu Lang, would do so many things for him.
He had asked Huan 'er about this earlier through Voice Transmission, but even she was unaware of this.
Ever since Duan Lingtian had ascended to the Devata Realms and joined the Heavenly Pool Palace, there were only a handful of people whom he cared about.
However, he cared about Xu Lang's disciples from the bottom of his heart.
"Oh, right!"
All of a sudden, Hu Mei seemed to have thought of something. She let out a cry of surprise, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Little Junior Brother."
Hu Mei looked at Duan Lingtian and said, "I'm sure Dugu Wu will inform Han Yun Jin and Lei Jun about you killing Dugu Wen.
If that's the case, will Han Yun Jin still dare to challenge you to a life-or-death battle in the Prodigy Arena a year later? "
Hu Mei thought of this problem.
Duan Lingtian was taken aback. If Dugu Wu had informed Han Yun Jin and Lei Jun, Han Yun Jin might not challenge him to a life-or-death battle in the Prodigy Arena.
After all, Han Yun Jin was someone who could kill Dugu Wen. In order to preserve his life, Han Yun Jin would rather sacrifice his reputation.
"Old Seventh, did you take Dugu Wen's Spatial Ring?"
Xu Lang asked as he looked at Duan Lingtian. "Based on what I know, Dugu Wen and Dugu Wu are usually the ones in charge of contacting the people who issued the missions.
Usually, the Soul Pearls Han Yun Jin and Lei Jun left for them are in Dugu Wen's Spatial Ring. "
Upon hearing Xu Lang's words, Duan Lingtian retrieved Dugu Wen's Spatial Ring and took out three Soul Pearls. "I've checked his Spatial Ring before this … These are the Soul Pearls in it."
As soon as Duan Lingtian took out the three Soul Pearls, Wen Wan 'er narrowed her eyes. She pointed at one of the Soul Pearls and said, "That's Han Yun Jin's Soul Pearl!"
Wen Wan 'er had a deep impression of Han Yun Jin's soul aura.
"Huan 'er."
Duan Lingtian looked at Huan 'er and asked, "I remember you exchanged Soul Pearls with Lei Jun, right?"
"Yes."
Huan 'er nodded as she took out a Soul Pearl from her Spatial Ring.
As soon as the Soul Pearl was taken out, Duan Lingtian and the others discovered the soul aura in the Soul Pearl was identical to the other Soul Pearl in Duan Lingtian's possession.
"It seems like we were right."
Hong Fei said in a deep voice.
At this moment, even Xu Lang's eyes flickered with an icy chill.
A chilling aura emanated from her body, causing the temperature in the surroundings to drop by a few degrees.
Her eyes were also emitting a cold light, as if she was about to devour someone.
She had only suspected Lei Jun to be the mastermind earlier, but now, she was certain Lei Jun was the mastermind.
Under such circumstances, how could she hold back her anger?
"Although this is evidence, it's not enough to prove that Lei Jun and Han Yun Jin hired someone to kill me. After all, they can say I placed these Soul Pearls into the Soul Pearl myself."
Duan Lingtian held Huan 'er's hand. Although it seemed like he was talking to Xu Lang and the others, he was, in fact, trying to calm Huan' er down.
Naturally, he could sense Huan 'er's anger.
"That Han Yun Jin and Lei Jun are too much!"
Hong Fei said with a dark expression on his face.
Even Hu Mei, Wen Wan 'er, and Ouyang Qi Fei's expressions were unsightly at this moment.
"It seems like teacher is right. If Dugu Wu doesn't have Han Yun Jin and Lei Jun's Soul Pearls, Han Yun Jin and Lei Jun shouldn't have known Dugu Wen was killed," Ouyang Qi Fei said.
Han Yun Jin nodded.
"Under such circumstances, Han Yun Jin shouldn't be afraid to enter the Prodigy Arena and fight Little Junior Brother in a year's time."
After Ouyang Qi Fei finished speaking, he looked at Duan Lingtian again.
"Since Dugu Wen has their Soul Pearls, there's a high chance Han Yun Jin and Lei Jun have Dugu Wen's Soul Pearls as well."
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes slightly as he said, "They must have discovered Dugu Wen's death by now. However, it's impossible for them to think I killed him."
Duan Lingtian looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Teacher, you didn't tell Pavilion Master Lei Ying that we were ambushed by Dugu Wen and Dugu Wu, right?"
"No." Xu Lang shook his head.
"Initially, I planned to inform the titled Celestial Emperors in the Heavenly Pool Palace about this. However, I thought it would be impossible to quench the immediate thirst. For this reason, I only brought Zheng Yu Yi here."
"Zheng Yu Yi? The Copper Mountain Celestial Emperor? "
Duan Lingtian was taken aback.
He finally learned that Xu Lang had asked Zheng Yu Yi, the Copper Mountain Celestial Emperor, to help him deal with Dugu Wu.
"If that's the case, I'm sure they don't know that Dugu Wen and Dugu Wu have ambushed me. Based on the fact that Dugu Wen's Soul Pearl has shattered, they probably think someone else killed him.
As long as they don't look for Dugu Wu and ask him about the mission, I don't think they'll find out I killed Dugu Wen. "
Duan Lingtian speculated.
"It seems like we'll have to spread the news that we were ambushed by Dugu Wen and Dugu Wu. Fortunately, the other two titled Celestial Emperors intervened at the critical moment and killed Dugu Wen."
Duan Lingtian said as he looked at Xu Lang.
"You think Han Yun Jin and Lei Jun won't dare to look for Dugu Wu if they find out you were ambushed?"
Xu Lang asked. He could guess Duan Lingtian's thoughts.
"That's right."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "If they don't know I was ambushed by Dugu Wen and Dugu Wu, they'll definitely look for Dugu Wu to ask about Dugu Wen's death and whether the mission to kill me will continue.
Once they find out I was ambushed, they won't dare to look for Dugu Wu even if they want to. At the very least, Han Yun Jin won't dare to act recklessly. After all, he's the most likely person to hire assassins to kill me.
As long as Lei Jun isn't stupid, he won't dare to act recklessly as well.
This way, it won't affect my battle with Han Yun Jin in a year's time. "
Duan Lingtian's eyes glinted coldly when he finished speaking.
"Let's do that!"
Xu Lang nodded. At the same time, he sent a message to Lei Ying, the Pavilion Master of the Sword Trial Pavilion. "Lei Ying, I didn't tell you who ambushed us earlier. However, there's no harm in telling you now.
It's Dugu Wen and Dugu Wu who ambushed us.
We didn't tell you earlier because we wanted to find out who they are. "
Xu Lang replied.
"Have you found out who they are?"
Lei Ying quickly sent a message to him. Her tone was filled with curiosity.
"Yes."
Xu Lang replied, "The Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor's disciple, Han Yun Jin, has the most motive.
