Chapter 2901: He is Duan Ling Tian?!

“I, Ji Fan, hereby announce that from today onward, I’m severing all ties with the Blissful Sect. I’m no longer the Arhat nor a disciple of the Blissful Sect!” Ji Fan’s voice reverberated through the entire Blissful Sect’s estate, shocking everyone.

The disciples of the Blissful Sect watched in stunned silence as Ji Fan, the Arhat, now former Arhat, of the Blissful Sect, announced his intention to cut ties with the Blissful Sect. All of them were dumbstruck and wore a disbelieving and confused expression on their faces. Their Arhat had killed his own sect’s people and severed ties with the sect! What was going on? What was wrong with the Arhat?

It did not take long before the disciples discovered Duan Ling Tian’s presence. He stood there calmly with an apathetic expression on his face. He exuded an aloof and mysterious air.

“W-who’s that man?”

“Well, he came with the Arhat. I’ve never seen him before so I’m certain he’s not from our sect.”

“Since the Arhat decided to cut ties with us, do you think it has something to do with that man?”

Meanwhile, the high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect had come out of their residences after hearing Ji Fan’s announcement. When they gathered, they looked at each other in confusion as they began to discuss fervently among themselves.

“Ji Fan has returned?”

“H-has he gone mad? Does he know what he’s saying? He wants to cut ties with the Blissful Sect?”

“What’s wrong with him?”

“His words are definitely going to infuriate the sect leader!”

“I feel that Ji Fan’s acting strange. It’s not in his character to do something like that. Is it possible that he has been coerced into saying such words?”

The disciples of the Blissful Sect did not stop and continued to discuss among themselves.

“Is it really the Arhat who has spoken?”

“Sounds like it… I guess, he has finally returned.”

“The sect leader and old ancestor are waiting for his return. I bet not even in their wildest dreams did they imagine the Arhat would cut ties with the sect once he returned to the sect.”

“I heard that the Arhat went out with Old Ancestor Li An… Old Ancestor Li An’s dead, but the Arhat’s alive and well. Nobody knows what had happened at all!”

“The Arhat’s acting rather strangely… Could it be related to the Old Ancestor’s death?”

Ji Fan’s words, naturally, caused a huge uproar in the Blissful Sect’s estate.

At this moment, a thunderously loud and furious voice resonated through the entire Blissful Sect.”Ji Fan!!”

“It’s the sect leader!” Many of the disciples, naturally, recognized the voice as belonging to Liu Xuan Kong, the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect.

“He sounds furious!”

“Of course, he’s furious. How could he not be? The Arhat is his direct disciple… If I were him, I’d be furious as well regardless if the Arhat has a good reason for doing this!”

“Well, the sect leader has every reason to be furious.”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A loud explosion sounded as soon as Liu Xuan Kong spoke. A tall and stout figure seemed to appear out of thin air at this moment. The figure moved at lightning speed, leaving the air distorted in his wake.

‘So this must be Liu Xuan Kong, the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect…’ Previously, Duan Ling Tian would not have been able to see Liu Xuan Kong’s movements. After all, just like Li An, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, Liu Xuan Kong was also a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke! Liu Xuan Kong might not be as powerful as Li An, but he was still much more powerful than ordinary Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes. At this moment, Liu Xuan Kong’s appeared slow in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes, making it easy for him to see Liu Xuan Kong’s every movement. After all, his strength was now that of a Ten Palaces Celestial King after it had slightly depleted. How could a Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes hide his movements from a Ten Palaces Celestial King?

With Liu Xuan Kong’s appearance, many people began to fly from all directions of the Blissful Sect’s estate and gathered behind Liu Xuan Kong.

Liu Xuan Kong finally stopped a distance away from Duan Ling Tian and Ji Fan. He looked at Ji Fan somberly and asked, “Ji Fan, do you know what you’re saying?”

“M-mas…” Upon seeing Liu Xuan Kong, Ji Fan almost instinctively blurted out the word ‘master’. However, he swallowed the words back when he remembered he had cut ties with the Blissful Sect. With the thought of the impending disaster that was about to befall the Blissful Sect in mind, he ignored Liu Xuan Kong even though there was a feeling of bitterness that rose in his heart.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

A gust of wind stirred in the air as another group of people appeared behind Liu Xuan Kong. They were the high-rank officials of the Blissful Sect. All of them glared at Ji Fan and rebuked him one after another. It was clear they could not wait to skin him alive.

“Ji Fan, the sect leader is talking to you!”

“Ji Fan, have you grown arrogant and sprouted wings after returning from the Wasteland that you don’t see the need to bow and greet the sect leader who’s your master? You even dare to ignore him!”

“Ji Fan, are you out of your mind? What do you mean by cutting ties with the sect?”

“Ji Fan, even if you regret this, I will no longer acknowledge you as the Arhat of our Blissful Sect again no matter what!”

“That’s right! You’re a disgrace to the sect! We won’t allow filth like you to tarnish the position of the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect!”

Ji Fan was, naturally, discomfited and felt pressure from listening to their angry words. Nevertheless, when he recalled the strength of the purple-clad young man next to him, he remained unwavering and resolute. In the end, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and pointed at Liu Xuan Kong as he said, “Master Duan, he’s Liu Xuan Kong, the Sect Leader of Blissful Sect… Li Ping, the Blissful Sect’s other Old Ancestor, isn’t here yet. He’s a Ten Directions Celestial Duke.”

“Ji Fan! How dare you!” Liu Xuan Kong felt his blood boil when he heard Ji Fan’s words. A hint of exasperation could be seen in his eyes as well.

Needless to say, the high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect were similarly incensed by Ji Fan’s lack of respect; their faces flushed red in anger.

“Ji Fan, not only did you disrespect your master, but how dare you disrespect Old Ancestor Li Ping by addressing him by his name! How impudent!”

“Ji Fan, are you seeking death?”

“Ji Fan, according to the sect rules, you’ll be severely punished for disrespecting your elders!”

“That’s right! Do you think you can leave the sect just because you want to? You were brought up by the sect! You can only leave if the sect agrees to it!”

Ji Fan, on the other hand, turned a deaf ear to their rebukes. He turned to Duan Ling Tian before humbly gesturing him over.

Duan Ling Tian, as poised as usual, stepped forward slowly before he stood in front of Ji Fan.

With this, everyone’s attention shifted to Duan Ling Tian. They extended their Divine Consciousness immediately to probe him. Although he could easily stop them from doing so, he chose to let them probe him.

The high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect discovered they could find out Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base; they only managed to find out his age.

“This purple-clad young man is not even 100 years old…”

“Ji Fan addressed him as Master Duan earlier, and Master Duan is less than 100 years old… Could he be…”

“Is he Duan Ling Tian, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?!”

As soon as they discovered Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years old, the shocked high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect finally realized the purple-clad young man standing before them was Duan Ling Tian, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!
