Chapter 2852: A Wise Xiao Teng

Duan Ling Tian did not take the Sect Leader of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect, Lian Cheng Yi’s threat seriously. This was not his first time being threatened anyway. If he were to get frightened every time he was threatened, he would have died a long time ago. In any case, Lian Cheng Yi’s actions had taught him a lesson. Unless one had a high worth, one’s life would be constantly at stake and at the mercy of others.

Duan Ling Tian had noticed the killing intent in the eyes of Guan Qi Fei, the former prominent Celestial Alchemist of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect, earlier. He knew letting Guan Qi Fei live would only bring trouble in the future. Saying that, he did not expect Lian Cheng Yi, the Sect Leader of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect, to mercilessly kill Guan Qi Fei at his request. After all, killing Guan Qi Fei would affect Lian Cheng Yi’s reputation. Since the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect could easily disregard the life of an interim Revered Elder, they, naturally, could do the same again in the future. With this, who would dare to join the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect?

Nevertheless, Lian Cheng Yi’s cunning and ruthlessness had surprised Duan Ling Tian. Lian Cheng Yi had even come up with a plan and an excuse so quickly to justify his killing of Guan Qi Fei. Duan Ling Tian knew Lian Cheng Yi was afraid Guan Qi Fei would detonate his prominent Celestial Fire so Lian Cheng Yi had intentionally soothed and assured Guan Qi Fei to make Guan Qi Fei let his guard down. Then, Lian Cheng Yi had quickly killed Guan Qi Fei when Guan Qi Fei’s guard was down. It was only natural for Lian Cheng Yi to be so cautious. If Guan Qi Fei had detonated his prominent Grade Celestial Fire, at such close proximity, even powerhouses like Lian Cheng Yi would be in grave danger.

‘Based on how vicious Lian Cheng Yi is, who knows when he would sacrifice me for the greater good of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect if I really join the sect.’ Duan Ling Tian was well aware of this fact so he had never considered joining the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect at all. Moreover, he was not a fair-weather person. Since he had joined the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, he would not abandon the Tai Yi Celestial Sect as long as the Tai Yi Celestial Sect did not wrong or mistreat him.

“He left?”

“The Sect Leader of the Supporting Sun Celestial is really decisive. He didn’t even hesitate to kill Guan Qi Fei, a prominent Celestial Alchemist, just for causing trouble to the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect!”

“I think there’s more to it than that. It’s possible that he killed Master Guan for the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Master Duan, right? However, it seems unlikely as well. Otherwise, Master Duan would have joined the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect, and Sect Leader Lian wouldn’t be leaving alone.”

“He’s probably just very decisive in upholding the sect’s rules!”

Since the crowd was not privy to the Voice Transmission between Duan Ling Tian and Lian Cheng Yi, most of them thought Lian Cheng Yi was just really strict and had killed Guan Qi Fei for violating the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect’s rule. For this reason, Lian Cheng Yi’s action did not negatively impact him and the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect. In fact, it made people think Lian Cheng Yi and the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect were fair. They did not even hesitate to punish an interim Revered Elder who was a prominent Celestial Alchemist. Not every sect would be able to do that. After all, prominent Celestial Alchemists were highly respectable. In the history of the Six Southeastern Regions, the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect was the only sect that was so decisive with its punishment!

There was a small number of people who thought Guan Qi Fei did not deserve to die, but their voices and opinions were drowned out by the majority.

He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, had lived for a very long time. He could, naturally, see through Lian Cheng Yi’s actions. He asked through Voice Transmission, “Master Duan, Lian Cheng Yi killed Guan Qi Fei in order to lure you over to his sect, right?” He was, in fact, slightly worried earlier that Duan Ling Tian might agree to join the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect after Lian Cheng Yi killed Guan Qi Fei. However, although Lian Cheng Yi seemed outwardly calm when he had left, he could tell Lian Cheng Yi was furious. For this reason, he knew Lian Cheng Yi had failed to recruit Duan Ling Tian.

“You’re right, Old Ancestor,” Duan Ling Tian replied through Voice Transmission with a faint smile on his face, “He invited me to join the Supporting Sect and told me he killed Guan Qi Fei just as I’d requested through Voice Transmission. However, I told him I would only join his sect if he openly admits that he killed Guan Qi Fei for me. He’s unwilling to do that so that’s the end of it.”

A wide smile could be seen on He Shan’s face as he replied through Voice Transmission, “Of course, he won’t admit it. Although you’re a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill and has a bright future, to Lian Cheng Yi, his reputation and the reputation of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect are more important.” After that, his tone turned solemn as he said, “Nonetheless, Master Duan, Lian Cheng Yi will definitely put all the blame on you for today’s accident. You’ve just created enmity between him and you.”

Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently through Voice Transmission, “Well, he did say that he won’t let this matter go through Voice Transmission before he left.”

“He won’t let this matter go?” He Shan sneered. “It’s just the death of a prominent Celestial Alchemist, and yet, he acts as though his parents had been killed. Although he’s the Sect Leader of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect, he’ll still have to go through me and the Tai Yi Celestial Sect if he wants to get to you!” His words were, naturally, meant to reassure Duan Ling Tian. “Master Duan, from now on, it’s best if you don’t stay too far from me.”

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

….

Meanwhile, the people from the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect did not disperse after arriving in their temporary residence in Alchemy City. All of them were gathered at the courtyard of the residence with Xiao Teng, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect.

Without any prompt, Tan Zheng Ye, the Vice Sect Leader of the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect, instantly apologized as soon as they entered the courtyard. “Sect leader, I’m to blame for today’s incident… Please punish me!”

“Vice Sect Leader Tan, you’re not solely at fault today.” Xiao Teng shook his head in response to Tan Zheng Ye’s apology. “If I weren’t so careless, we wouldn’t have lost the Duke Grade Divine Ability.” His eyes narrowed as he said, “No one expected Duan Ling Tian, a brat who’s not even 100 years old, to be a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining a top tier Celestial Pill like the Overarching Heaven Pill!”

Tan Zheng Ye sighed in relief upon hearing Xiao Teng’s words. It seemed like Xiao Teng had no intention of blaming him. He hurriedly said, echoing Xiao Teng’s words, “Yes, yes. Who would have thought someone who’s not even 100 years old to be capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill.”

“What happened today showed us that we must never underestimate anyone… There’s always someone who’s better out there!” Xiao Teng said.

“Sect leader.” Tan Zheng Ye’s eyes flashed briefly when a thought appeared in his mind. “Should we… Should we extend an invitation to Duan Ling Tian to join the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect? After all, we’re much stronger than the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. I’m sure he knows it’s more beneficial for him to join us than staying in Tai Yi Celestial Sect.” His eyes were bright when he spoke.

As soon as Tang Zheng Ye finished speaking, the expression of his male disciple, Cheng Da Gang, changed drastically. He had offended Duan Ling Tian earlier, after all. It would be fine if Duan Ling Tian stayed in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, but if Duan Ling Tian joined the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect, Duan Ling Tian would certainly seek revenge from him. If Duan Ling Tian truly intended to seek revenge from him, he was rather certain that his master, Tang Zheng Ye, would not stop Duan Ling Tian at all. In fact, his master might even take the initiative to send him to Duan Ling Tian. He was well aware of his master’s character after all. His master would do anything for the sect. Let alone a mere disciple, his master would even sacrifice himself for the sect.

Contrary to Tan Zheng Ye who was excited, Xiao Teng remained indifferent to Tan Zheng Ye’s suggestion. “Vice Sect Leader Tan, do you think Master Duan joined the Tai Yi Celestial Sect for the benefits Tai Yi Celestial Sect could give him? Would he choose to join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect if he’s after benefits? As a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill when he’s not even 100 years old, if he wants to, he’ll be welcomed even in the strongest sect of the Six Southeastern Regions, the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. It’s impossible for him to join our Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect.” Xiao Teng was clearly more rational and wiser than Tan Zheng Ye and Lian Cheng Yi.

Tan Zheng Ye fell silent for a moment. It seemed like Xiao Teng was right.

Upon hearing Xiao Teng’s words, Cheng Da Gang, who was standing behind Tan Zheng Ye, could not help but inwardly sigh in relief.

…

In the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect’s temporary residence in Alchemy City.

The incident outside Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s shop had spread like a wildfire in Alchemy City. It was only natural that it had spread to the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect as well.

“He… He actually managed to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill! Sister Shu Qiu… You’re right!” After hearing several people recount the incident, Lyu Luo, the disciple from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, looked at Zhou Shu Qiu in shock.

“That’s right.” Although Zhou Shu Qiu had expected this outcome, she was still somewhat shocked. That purple-clad young man who was not even 100 years old was a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill!
