"A favor?"
Duan Lingtian was taken aback by Long Qingchong's sudden words. After a while, he regained his senses and said with a smile, "Please tell me, Sect Master."
"As long as it's within my power, I, Duan Lingtian, won't refuse."
Although he had only met Long Qingchong a few times, he still remembered how Long Qingchong had taken care of him before they met for the first time.
Now that Long Qingchong wanted a favor, he might as well listen.
If it was within his power, he would give it to Long Qingchong.
"Come with me to a place first."
Long Qingchong smiled and said, "When we arrive, I'll tell you what favor I want from you. Of course, don't be put in a difficult position.
If you don't want to, I won't force you. "
Perhaps Long Qingchong knew that Duan Lingtian was no longer the same as before, but his tone when he spoke to Duan Lingtian was much friendlier compared to the first time they met.
Naturally, it was not that he was rude when he first met Duan Lingtian. He was also kind at that time, but not as kind as he was now.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded and followed Long Qingchong. As for the two people from Chunyang School, he also sent a message to inform them that he would be there later to leave the Tianlong Clan with them.
Then, Duan Lingtian followed Long Qingchong to the place where he had seen Long Qingchong in the past.
It was also Long Qingchong's residence and cultivation place.
Duan Ling Tian saw a middle-aged man here. The middle-aged man was standing in the courtyard and waiting. Although his expression was calm, there was obvious anxiety in his eyes.
"Sect Master, who is this?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously after he landed with Long Qingchong.
Could the favor Long Qingchong had told him be related to this person?
"He's Xue Mingzhi."
Long Qingchong said bluntly.
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian's expression changed when Long Qingchong said the man's name. His pupils constricted.
Back then, when the Thousand Devil Sect's Inner Sect Elder Kuang Tianzheng tried to kill him, he suspected that it was Xue Mingzhi who forced the other party to attack him.
As for the two mid-level God Emperors, he suspected that they were Xue Mingzhi's handiwork.
"So it's Vice Sect Leader Xue."
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian could roughly guess what kind of favor Long Qing Chong was talking about. Long Qing Chong was most likely trying to resolve the conflict between him and Xue Ming Zhi.
"Young Master Duan."
Hearing the sarcasm in Duan Lingtian's tone, Xue Mingzhi's heart trembled. He immediately squeezed out an awkward smile and respectfully greeted Duan Lingtian.
"Speak."
At this moment, Long Qingchong spoke. He looked at Xue Mingzhi and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Xue Mingzhi took a deep breath. He looked at Duan Lingtian and said, "Young Master Duan, the conflict between us started because of my son-in-law."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Mingzhi raised his hand. A head appeared in his hand. Looking at the blood stains on the neck, it was obvious that the person had just died.
It was the head of a handsome young man.
"He's my son-in-law, Zhong Can."
At first, Duan Lingtian was still frowning. However, when he heard Xue Mingzhi's words, his expression subtly changed.
Although it was his first time meeting Xue Mingzhi, he knew that Xue Mingzhi only had one daughter. Moreover, he loved his only son-in-law, Zhong Can, of the Thousand Demon Sect, had taken great care of him.
"I hid it from my daughter and killed him with my own hands. It's because I knew that the appearance of the two Mid Divine Emperors had something to do with him."
Xue Mingzhi looked at Duan Lingtian and said righteously, "Of course, he doesn't have enough wealth to buy the lives of two Mid Divine Emperors."
"Behind this is the Thousand Demon Sect."
"The Thousand Demon Sect hates you because of Kuang Tianzheng's death."
"However, some time ago, I went to the Thousand Demon Sect under the orders of the Sect Master. I killed all the higher-ups of the Thousand Demon Sect who were related to this matter."
"Moreover, I killed my son-in-law, Zhong Can, with my own hands."
"This is also my atonement to you, Young Master Duan."
After saying that, Xue Mingzhi, the Deputy Sect Master of the Tianlong Clan, knelt down in front of Duan Lingtian and kowtowed three times, ignoring the blood flowing from his forehead.
"Atonement?"
Duan Lingtian looked deeply at Xue Mingzhi and said, "Deputy Sect Master Xue, what crime have you committed?"
Xue Mingzhi took a deep breath and said, "Kuang Tianzheng risked his life to attack Young Master Duan in the Tianlong Clan. To a certain extent, it was because of my instructions."
Hearing Xue Mingzhi's words, Duan Lingtian's face was calm because he had already guessed it. Otherwise, Kuang Tianzheng would not have attacked him in the Tianlong Clan.
Moreover, the two White Dragon Elders of the Thousand Demon Sect did not have the ability to threaten Kuang Tianzheng.
Not to mention that they did not have a deep hatred for Duan Lingtian, the relationship between Kuang Tianzheng and Kuang Tianzheng made it impossible for the two White Dragon Elders to threaten Kuang Tianzheng.
Therefore, it could only be Xue Mingzhi.
"It seems that Deputy Sect Master Xue really wants me dead."
Duan Lingtian said with a smile.
"Young Master Duan, I did that because my son-in-law is Kuang Tianzheng's disciple. I was afraid that when you grew up in the future, you would hold a grudge and deal with me while dealing with my son-in-law."
Xue Mingzhi said, "I was muddle-headed in this matter."
"Therefore, I'll kill Zhong Can now and use his death to show my sincerity. I'll sever all ties with the Thousand Demon Sect and Kuang Tianzheng … This way, there won't be any conflict between me and you, Young Master Duan."
Xue Mingzhi said.
"Of course, if Young Master Duan insists on killing me, I won't say anything … I only hope that Young Master Duan will let my daughter go. She was muddle-headed and wanted to deal with you because of Zhong Can. "
Xue Mingzhi's gaze softened when he mentioned his daughter.
"Young Master Duan, if you want me dead, the Sect Master will give the order after my death and say that Zhong Can and I were involved in hiring assassins to kill you, Duan Lingtian.
We'll be exiled, "Xue Mingzhi said.
Duan Lingtian frowned slightly when he heard this. He then looked at Long Qingchong, the Sect Master of the Tianlong Clan, and asked, "Sect Master, the favor you mentioned earlier … Is it his life?"
"Yes."
Long Qingchong nodded. "Xue Mingzhi's master, my martial uncle, saved my life in the past. If possible, I hope to save his life as well. It can be considered as repaying my martial uncle for saving my life in the past."
Of course, if you insist on killing him, I won't blame you.
I only hope that you'll do as he said and let his daughter go.
I can guarantee that his daughter won't take revenge on you … Of course, if she takes the initiative to take revenge on you, then she deserves it even if she dies in the future.
If you spare this Xue Mingzhi's life today, I can guarantee that he won't do anything to you in the future. Otherwise, I'll kill him myself! "
Long Qingchong said all his thoughts in one breath.
Duan Lingtian's eyes flickered when he heard this.
At this instant, Xue Mingzhi spoke again. "Young Master Duan, there's one more thing."
"In the past, during the Hidden Dragon Grand Competition, I appeared and sent a Voice Transmission to threaten you, Young Master Duan."
Duan Lingtian's expression changed drastically when he heard Xue Mingzhi's words. "It was you?!"
He still had a deep impression of that threat from back then.
However, since Linghu Renjie was fine, he thought it was just a prank. However, after hearing Xue Mingzhi's words, he knew it was not a prank.
However, if it was not a prank, why was Linghu Renjie still alive?
Linghu Renjie's Soul Orb was still in his Spatial Ring, safe and sound.
"It was me."
Xue Mingzhi smiled bitterly. "At that time, my daughter was bewitched by Zhong Can. She said that if you obtained the Emperor Ascension Divine Pill, you would be able to enter the Divine Emperor Stage very quickly. That's not a good thing for us."
Duan Lingtian's expression softened slightly when he heard this. "It's nothing. After all, you didn't take any action. You just casually threatened me."
In Duan Ling Tian's opinion, with Xue Ming Zhi's ability, it would be easy for him to kill Linghu Ren Jie.
However, Linghu Renjie was fine, which meant that he was only threatening him and did not take any action.
"No."
However, to Duan Lingtian's surprise, Xue Mingzhi shook his head. "I took action."
"What?!"
Duan Lingtian's expression changed drastically again. His gaze toward Xue Mingzhi sharpened in an instant.
He could understand why Duan Lingtian wanted to deal with him.
However, he could not understand why Duan Lingtian wanted to deal with someone unrelated to him.
At the very least, he felt that if it was his enemy, he would not deal with a friend who had no enmity or conflict with him.
He could understand what Xue Mingzhi said earlier.
Even if it was directed at him.
However, what Xue Mingzhi said now crossed his bottom line.
At the same time, Long Qingchong, who was standing to the side, sighed. He had told Xue Mingzhi about this before. However, he did not have to say it because it might completely enrage Duan Lingtian.
Of course, if Duan Lingtian found out the truth in the future and wanted to settle the score, Xue Mingzhi would definitely be in trouble.
"Why didn't you succeed in the end?"
Duan Lingtian asked in a low voice as anger rose in his heart.
Xue Mingzhi took a deep breath when he heard this. "It's because a God Emperor intervened."
"A God Emperor?!"
Duan Lingtian frowned when he heard Xue Mingzhi's words. A moment later, a voice flashed in his mind. He remembered the God Emperor who appeared in the Tianlong Clan not long after he entered the Tianlong Clan.
Moreover, the other party was obviously not an ordinary God Emperor.
The other party was able to force the Tianlong Clan to withdraw the Great Protective Array. This was something that even Jingxu Elder Zhen Pingfan of the Chunyang School might not be able to do without relying on his identity and background.
"Yes."
Xue Mingzhi nodded and immediately explained the ins and outs of the matter. "Back then, I made an agreement with a Black Dragon Elder. If he killed Linghu Renjie, I would give him a reward.
Who knew that he would die in the Linghu family, killed by a God Emperor? "
"Later, that God Emperor came to the Tianlong Clan and taught me a lesson … However, from what she said, it seemed that she did not care if I dealt with you. She just did not allow me to deal with Linghu Renjie and the Linghu family."
"And because of that, I vented part of my anger on you."
At this point, Xue Mingzhi's face flashed with embarrassment.
"This God Emperor was Linghu Renfeng?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as he asked directly.
