Chapter 2904: I Don’t Mind Killing One More Person

Liu Xuan Kong, the Sect Leader of the Blissful Sect, and the high-ranking officials of the sect could only smile bitterly in response to Li Ping’s questions.’s Sect Leader Liu Xuan Kong couldn’t help but smile bitterly in response to Li Ping’s questions. How were they supposed to answer his question? Who should they ask for an answer? Naturally, they did not dare to verbalize this.

Finally, still with a bitter smile on his face, Liu Xuan Kong said, “Senior uncle, I didn’t attend the Alchemy Conference in Alchemy City as well… It was my master who told me that Duan Ling Tian, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, is an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.”

Then, the high-ranking officials chimed in one after another, going along with Liu Xuan Kong’s words as soon as he finished speaking.

“That’s right, Old Ancestor!”

“We obtained the information from Old Ancestor Li An.”

“Yes! We didn’t attend the Alchemy Conference so we haven’t seen the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect prior to today. How could we have known what his cultivation base is?”

“Old Ancestor…”

Upon hearing the high-ranking officials’ words, Li Ping’s expression darkened greatly. He rebuked them immediately, “Based on your words, it seems like you’re pushing all responsibilities to my late brother. Are all of you trying to blame a dead person?”

Li Ping’s tone was so cold that Liu Xuan Kong and the others no longer dared to speak.

After a brief moment of silence, Li Ping turned to look at Duan Ling Tian with a sneer. “If someone had told me that someone who’s not even 100 years old would be able to withstand a casual hit from me after I’ve broken through and become a Celestial King, I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t witness it for myself. To be capable of such a feat, you must be a Ten Directions Celestial Duke at least. In fact, you might even be Celestial Kinn, right?” Toward the end of his sentence, it was clear he was trying to probe Duan Ling Tian.

“A Celestial King?” A small smile could be seen on Duan Ling Tian’s face as he cocked an eyebrow.

A sense of unease rose in Li Ping’s heart for a moment when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s composure. He was instantly on alert. ‘He knows I’m a Celestial King, and yet, it seems like he has no intention of backing down?’ He had lived for a long time, and therefore, was much more experienced. He was rash and would think things through before acting.

In Li Ping’s opinion, there were only two reasons why Duan Ling Tian seemed unafraid of him. First, Duan Ling Tian was bluffing and putting on a front to intimidate the Blissful Sect into backing down. Second, Duan Ling Tian might really come from a powerful clan and was therefore, unafraid of the Blissful Sect. Naturally, he wished the reason was the former. If it were the latter, there was a risk the Blissful Sect would be annihilated today when he killed Duan Ling Tian!

After mulling over it for some time, Li Ping took a deep breath before he looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked, “Duan Ling Tian, did you kill Brother An?”

“Brother An?” Duan Ling Tian seemed confused.

“Li An. He’s my younger cousin,” Li Ping said in a low voice.

“Li An?” Duan Ling Tian returned Li Ping’s gaze and nonchalantly said, “That’s right, I killed him because he tried to kill me. It seems like he wasn’t the only who wanted to kill me. From what I know, there are many men from the Blissful Sect who want me dead.” Then, he glanced at the people present with a sneer. “This is the reason I decided to visit the Blissful Sect. I don’t have a habit of letting those who want to kill me live…” At the end of his sentence, his voice was icy, and his gaze flashed with killing intent.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished his sentence, Li Ping’s expression changed.

Similarly, the expressions of the high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect changed drastically as well. They knew Duan Ling Tian was referring to them. Before Li An, the late Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, brought Ji Fan with him to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect in the Wasteland to kill Duan Ling Tian, they had convened for a meeting. During the meeting, everyone unanimously voted for Duan Ling Tian to be killed. After all, based on their investigation, they ascertained Duan Ling Tian did not come from a powerful clan in the central area. Alas, at this moment, they could finally see how wrong their decision was. Even if Duan Ling Tian was not from a powerful clan in the central area, it was terrifying enough that he was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke or possibly a Celestial King. Someone like that was not someone the Blissful Sect could afford to offend!

At this moment, many of the high-ranking officials in the Blissful Sect sighed in relief inwardly as various thoughts flitted through their minds. The consensus was most of them were extremely glad Li Ping had a breakthrough and become a Celestial King at the crucial moment. All of them fervently hoped Li Ping would kill Duan Ling Tian.

‘How lucky! We’re lucky Old Ancestor Li Ping broke through at this moment and became a Celestial King. Otherwise, he might not be a match for Duan Ling Tian!’

‘The heavens are really looking out for our sect! If Old Ancestor Li An didn’t become a Celestial King, our sect would probably be annihilated. After all, a Celestial King wouldn’t be afraid even if we have hidden quasi Celestial Kings protecting us.’

‘With Old Ancestor Li Ping’s current strength, it shouldn’t be hard for him to kill Duan Ling Tian!’

Contrary to the expectations of the people from the Blissful Sect, Li Ping did not make a move. He seemed very cautious. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and said in a deep voice, “Duan Ling Tian, since you’ve already killed Brother An, don’t you think you should let this matter go? I’ll let the matter go as well.” Although he was more inclined to believe Duan Ling Tian was just putting on a front to intimidate them, he did not dare to take the risk. After all, if he was wrong, it would be the end of the Blissful Sect!

“Let the matter go?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback when he heard Li Ping’s words. Then, he burst into laughter. When his laughter subsided, he said, “Well, I don’t think I can let things go. Ji Fan told me you weren’t present at the meeting where everyone decided to kill me. For this reason, I’ll spare your life. However, as for everyone else… they’ll have to die!” At the end of his sentence, his eyes found Liu Xuan Kong and the high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect. Ji Fan had told him all these people had voted to kill him.

One of the elders from the Blissful Sect glared at Duan Ling Tian spitefully as he mockingly said, “Duan Ling Tian, our Old Ancestor is now a Celestial King. He’s magnanimous enough by sparing your life. If you continue talking, don’t blame us for killing you!”

“That’s right! You want to kill all of us? Can you even defeat our Old Ancestor?” another Blissful Sect’s elder said.

All the Blissful Sect’s high-ranking officials, including Liu Xuan Kong, regarded Li Ping as their lifeline. They were confident Li Ping was strong enough to protect all of them.

Duan Ling Tian grinned. “So all of you think Li Ping will be able to protect you?”

Duan Ling Tian’s grin made the uneasy feeling rise in Li Ping’s heart again. He began to grow more warier by the minute. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and said in a deep voice, “Duan Ling Tian, all of them are the pillars of the Blissful Sect. Killing all of them is no different from annihilating the Blissful Sect… I agree we’re at fault. If you let this matter go, I promise the Blissful Sect will compensate you accordingly. If it’s within our means, we will not refuse your request.”

Based on Li Ping’s words, it was obvious he was trying to defuse the situation and come to a peaceful solution. He was clearly trying to save the lives of Liu Xuan Kong and the others. After all, after becoming a Celestial King, he had no thought of staying in the Six Southeastern Regions. He had already made up his mind to leave for the central area as soon as he could. If he did not leave, his cultivation base would only deteriorate, and it would cause his cultivation progress to slow down in the future. Without him in the Blissful Sect, if Duan Ling Tian killed Liu Xuan Kong and the others, the Blissful Sect was as good as dead. He, naturally, did not want this to happen nor would he allow it to happen.

“Old Ancestor!’

All the high-ranking officials of the Blissful Sect, apart from Liu Xuan Kong, cried out in unison when they heard Li Ping’s words. They were confused. Why did it seem like Li Ping was negotiating with Duan Ling Tian? In their opinion, Li Ping should just kill Duan Ling Tian.

Liu Xuan Kong who had remained silent vaguely felt that something was amiss. He quickly sent a Voice Transmission to the high-ranking officials of the sect. “Everyone, don’t you find it strange that Duan Ling Tian remains unafraid of our Old Ancestor even though he knows our Old Ancestor is now a Celestial King? How sure are we that he isn’t from a powerful clan in the central area? He’s not even a 100 years old, but he’s a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, if not a Celestial King. Could someone like that come from an ordinary background? Moreover, it seems like our Old Ancestor is trying to come to a compromise. He’s probably worried killing Duan Ling Tian would bring disaster to the Blissful Sect.”

Upon hearing Liu Xuan Kong’s Voice Transmission, the high-ranking officials of the sect fell silent. On second thought, it did seem risky to kill.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes that were flashing coldly at Li Ping as he said, “Sorry. I came to kill all of them today. I will not compromise on this. Li Ping, you should stand aside and watch. Otherwise, I don’t mind killing one more person.”
