Duan Lingtian was naturally grateful that Xue Haichuan was still concerned about his safety at a time like this.
However, he still declined Xue Haichuan's offer. "Brother Haichuan, I won't be going to the Emperor Battle Realm with you."
Xue Haichuan sighed when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. "Little Tian, I know the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi in the Emperor Battle Realm is thin, and it's almost impossible for you to improve your cultivation base. However, you're not in a good position in the Tianlong Clan. If I enter the Emperor Battle Realm, I don't know about the others, but the inner sect elder, Kuang Tianzheng, might kill you regardless of the consequences.
There's no rush in cultivating. It's not worth risking your life for a momentary improvement.
Think about it, how unjust would it be if something were to happen to you?
Perhaps you don't feel anything now, but do you really want to wait until Kuang Tianzheng appears in front of you and tries to kill you before you regret your decision?
There's no medicine for regret in this world.
Once you've decided on something, it's like water in a basin that's overturned. It's impossible to take it back. "
Xue Haichuan was trying his best to persuade Duan Lingtian.
"Don't worry, Brother Haichuan."
Duan Lingtian knew Xue Haichuan had misunderstood. "I don't intend to take the risk.
The reason I said I won't be going to the Emperor Battle Realm with you is because I've already thought of a backup plan.
I'm sure Brother Haichuan knows that I have a friend called Ding Yan. He's Revered Elder Sikong's nephew. Before he came here, he told me that if it's inconvenient for you to be here, he can ask Revered Elder Sikong to let me cultivate at his place.
He told me some time ago that Revered Elder Sikong agreed to his request.
Therefore, I can go to Revered Elder Sikong's place anytime.
However, I've been staying at your place for so long that I'm too lazy to move. If you're going to the Emperor Battle Realm, I'll go to his place. "
Duan Lingtian said.
In fact, that was the case.
Two years ago, after Ding Yan returned to the Tianlong Temple, he went to look for his Uncle Sikong, the Revered Elder Sikong of the Tianlong Clan. However, he was in seclusion at that time.
A few months ago, Duan Lingtian received a message from Ding Yan saying that he could go to Revered Elder Sikong's place at any time.
However, since Duan Ling Tian was safe in Xue Haichuan's place, he did not think about going there. After all, if he did, it would be another favor to him.
"I see..
After listening to Duan Ling Tian's words, Xue Haichuan finally understood. "If it's Revered Elder Sikong, then I'm relieved."
"Revered Elder Sikong's strength is a mystery in the sect … However, he was personally invited into the sect by the sect leader. Furthermore, the sect leader gave him the identity token of the Black Dragon Elder as soon as he arrived. This is enough to show that his strength is definitely not inferior to the Black Dragon Elder."
I'm sure his place is safer than mine. "
When Xue Haichuan reached this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Most importantly, Revered Elder Sikong is absolutely neutral in the sect … In the sect, if given the choice, no one would be willing to offend Revered Elder Sikong even if it was an ordinary Black Dragon Elder."
Xue Haichuan was relieved when he learned that Duan Lingtian was protected by Revered Elder Sikong.
…
Half a month later, Xue Haichuan was preparing to enter the Emperor Battle Realm.
Before he entered the Emperor Battle Realm, he deliberately looked for Duan Lingtian. "Little Tian, I'll send you there."
Ding Yan had arrived at Duan Lingtian's place to bring Duan Lingtian to the residence of his Uncle Sikong, who was also the Tianlong Clan's Revered Elder Sikong.
However, before Duan Lingtian could leave after bidding farewell to Xue Haichuan, Xue Haichuan took the initiative to look for him.
Apart from that, there was another person following Xue Haichuan.
It was none other than Xue Haichuan.
Half a month ago, Duan Lingtian had met Xue Haichuan when he learned Xue Haichuan had come out of closed-door cultivation. Therefore, he was not surprised by Xue Haichuan's appearance.
"Brother Haichuan, I asked Ding Yan earlier, and Ding Yan asked Revered Elder Sikong … Revered Elder Sikong said you can come with me."
Duan Lingtian said to Xue Haichuan, "The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Emperor Battle Realm is extremely thin. It's difficult to cultivate there."
Xue Haichuan shook his head and smiled when he heard this. "Little Tian, I appreciate your kindness. In fact, I don't plan to cultivate in the Emperor Battle Realm. I just want to join in the fun and wander around Heavenly Dragon City and Peace City.
I've been cultivating ever since I arrived at the Tianlong Clan. It's a good opportunity for me to relax. "
When Xue Haichuan saw Duan Lingtian was about to say something, he beat him to it and said, "Little Tian, I'm not being courteous. I really don't plan to continue cultivating for the time being.
If I have a need in the future, I won't be courteous with you. "
Duan Lingtian did not say anything else when he heard Xue Haichuan's words.
Soon after, under Xue Haichuan's escort, Duan Lingtian and Ding Yan arrived at another mountain range in the Tianlong Temple before they entered another mountain range.
There were very few people here. Even the number of patrolling disciples of the Tianlong Clan was much lesser. They could only see a few people in the distance.
Ding Yan seemed to have noticed the confusion in Duan Lingtian's eyes. He explained, "Uncle Sikong likes peace and quiet. That's why there aren't many patrolling disciples in this area.
Moreover, there's no one living in Uncle Sikong's residence. It's usually empty. "
Ding Yan had stayed here for a period of time, so he knew the situation here better than Xue Haichuan.
Xue Haichuan nodded. "It's true that Revered Elder Sikong has been living in seclusion ever since he came to the Heavenly Dragon Sect. I've only met him once when he first arrived.
Xue Haichuan still felt a little dazed when he recalled the scene from that year.
He did not know if he had seen wrongly. At that time, he had seen the Clan Leader of the Tianlong Clan look at Elder Sikong with reverence in his eyes.
After all, even among the Golden Dragon Elders in the sect, only the one who was closest to the Sect Leader could make the Sect Leader act this way.
'Perhaps Elder Sikong is also an elder to the Clan Leader?'
Xue Haichuan still thought so, whether it was then or now. Although Elder Sikong looked about the same age as the Clan Leader, at their level of cultivation, their appearance could no longer match their real age.
"It's right ahead."
Under Ding Yan's lead, Duan Lingtian and the other two also saw layers of faint fog in front of them. It shrouded a quiet valley and looked extremely mysterious.
Whoosh!
As if a breeze had blown past, the fog outside the valley stirred slightly. Then, an old and aged figure appeared in the fog.
Then, he stepped out of the fog.
"Elder Wen."
Ding Yan bowed respectfully when he saw the old man walk out.
"Young Master Ding Yan, I've told you long ago that I'm only the master's servant. You don't have to be so polite."
The old man sighed and looked at Ding Yan with a gentle gaze.
Ding Yan seemed to be used to the old man's words and did not mind. "Elder Wen, let me introduce you to my friend."
Ding Yan looked at Duan Lingtian and said, "Elder Wen, this is Duan Lingtian, a friend I met at Hidden Fog Academy in Tianfeng City."
"As for the other two, the one on the left is Elder Xue Haichuan, and the other is Elder Xue Haichuan's elder brother, Big Brother Xue Haishan."
Ding Yan introduced them.
"Young Master Duan, Elder Xue Haichuan."
The old man smiled as he greeted Duan Ling Tian and Xue Haichuan. Then, he nodded at Xue Haishan as a form of greeting. Although he did not greet Xue Haishan, it was obvious he valued Xue Haishan.
"Elder Wen."
Duan Lingtian and the other two responded.
"The three of you, my family is waiting for you. Please follow me."
The old man smiled as he greeted Duan Ling Tian, Xue Haichuan, and Xue Haishan. After that, he turned around and led the way. Everywhere he passed, the fog would disperse and open up a path. Moreover, the dispersed fog did not close up for a long time. It was only when Duan Ling Tian and the others entered the valley that the fog finally closed up.
At this moment, Ding Yan's voice transmission sounded in Duan Lingtian's ears. "Duan Lingtian, this Elder Wen has always been by Uncle Sikong's side. Usually, when Sikong Yue goes out, he will follow Sikong Yue. Usually, he has never left Uncle Sikong's side."
"He has been by Uncle Sikong's side for many years. Although Sikong Yue has a proud personality, he is extremely respectful to him and respectfully calls him 'Grandfather Wen.'"
"Because Uncle Sikong thinks highly of me, Elder Wen has been courteous and respectful to me since the beginning. He has not looked down on me because of my low cultivation."
Ding Yan's evaluation of the old man leading the way was extremely high.
Duan Lingtian nodded and raised his brows slightly as he looked at the old man's back.
He could not see through this old man.
He gave him an extremely mysterious feeling.
Not to mention Xue Haichuan, he had never felt this feeling from the few Black Dragon Elders that he had come into contact with before.
Of course, Duan Lingtian knew in his heart that this did not mean anything.
It did not mean that the stronger one was, the more one would give off such a feeling.
That was only relatively speaking.
There were many people who appeared to be extraordinary and mysterious because of the cultivation method that they cultivated. However, in reality, their strength might not be able to keep up with this mystery.
"Master, the guests have arrived."
In the valley filled with green grass and fragrant flowers, six simple courtyards were located in various places. They surrounded the courtyard in the middle like stars surrounding the moon.
Now, the old man was leading Duan Lingtian and the rest to the front of the central courtyard. He bowed and greeted them inside.
"Come in."
As the courtyard door was suddenly opened, Duan Lingtian and the rest were led into the courtyard by the old man.
In an instant, Duan Lingtian only saw a flash before his eyes. The originally spacious courtyard suddenly changed and became even more refreshing and tranquil. Moreover, the flowers and trees inside were even more luxuriant than they were outside.
"So everything that I saw outside was just an illusion. Only what I saw when I stepped through the courtyard door was real."
Duan Lingtian suddenly understood.
