Chapter 2911: Liar

The Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s estate consisted of a cluster of floating islands. The floating islands looked majestic; it looked like a sacred utopia where the gods and deities dwelled. At the highest point of the estate, there were three smaller floating islands. Each of the islands housed a residence with a courtyard and was surrounded by a landscape of lush trees and beautiful flowers.

“The Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Supreme Elder and Chief Celestial Alchemist, Tie Tai He and Duan Ling Tian, are here to meet the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect!” The voice of Tie Tai He, the Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, resounded across the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s estate. His voice caught the attention of the three people living separately on the three small islands at the peak, temporarily interrupting their activities.

“Tie Tai He? The former Left Guardian of the Wasteland’s Tai Yi Celestial Sect who had a breakthrough and became a Seven Stars Celestial Duke a few years ago?” an old man muttered to himself while sipping tea in his courtyard. The old man was skinny. The long white robe he was wearing made him look like a martial expert. His expression remained calm as he ignored Tie Tai He.

On another small island, a middle-aged man was lying on the lawn in the courtyard, napping, He bolted up as soon as he heard Tie Tai He’s voice. His blue robes fluttered in the air as his eyes glinted coldly. He muttered under his breath, “A mere Seven Stars Celestial Duke dares to come looking for trouble at the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect… Is he tired of living?!”

On the third island at the peak of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, a green-clad middle-aged man was watering the flowers in his courtyard. He paused for a moment when he heard Tie Tai He’s voice before he continued to silently water his flowers. The expression on his face remained the same from the beginning until the end. It felt as though even if a mountain were to collapse in front of him, he would still remain unfazed.

The two middle-aged men living on two of the three smaller floating islands on the peak of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s estate were identical twins. Despite their similar appearances, it was not difficult to tell them apart based on their bearing and the auras they exuded.

…

Meanwhile, in the outer ring of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s estate.

As soon as Tie Tai He finished speaking, a group of Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s patrolling disciples appeared and surrounded Tie Tai He, Duan Ling Tian, and Huan’er. Hints of fear could be seen in the depths of their eyes as they looked at Tie Tai He. Although a Seven Stars Celestial Duke like Tie Tai He was disdained by the high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, these patrolling disciples were no match for Tie Tai He at all. A Seven Stars Celestial Duke could easily kill them in just a blink of an eye! The disciples knew they were risking their lives by coming here to confront Tie Tai He. However, they had to carry out their duties. Otherwise, they would be reprimanded by the elders of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.

‘Based on the tone of his voice, it’s clear that the Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect came to look for trouble. In the name of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, I pray that he doesn’t act recklessly and attack us on a whim.’ One of the patrolling disciples prayed fervently as anxiety and fear set in.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this moment, the sound of wind howling rang in the air as a group of people appeared from all directions of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s estate.

Upon seeing this, the patrolling disciples sighed in relief inwardly. Soon after, their eyes were brimming with contempt, and their expressions were smug when they looked at Tie Tai He. The fear in their eyes had completely vanished.

“Elder Hong is here! He’s an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke!”

“Elder Qi is here too! He’s also an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke!”

“Elder Huang, Elder Qiu, Elder Chen… The Seven Stars Celestial Dukes of our sect are here as well!”

“Tie Tai He has trespassed on our Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. His misconduct is considered a huge blunder in all the sects!”

The disciples’ morale soared as the high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect arrived. Now that the tides had seemingly turned, they began to feel sorry for the trio from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect instead.

Two men stood in the lead of the group of high-ranking officials from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect; they were an old man and a middle-aged man.

The old man wore a long green robe. His expression was grim and cold. The disciples had addressed the old man as Elder Hong, one of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s Eight Trigrams Celestial Dukes!

The middle-aged man wore a light grey robe. He possessed a jade-like complexion. His eyes glinted coldly as he looked at Tie Tai He. The disciples had addressed him as Elder Qi. He was also an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke.

“Tie Tai He, as the Supreme Elder of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, you should be aware that you violated the rules when you charged into the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s estate. You better explain yourself…” Elder Hong said coldly as he stared at Tie Tai He.

“That’s right!” Elder Qi chimed in as he glared at Tie Tai He, “Tie Tai He, as a Supreme Elder you should know that trespassing is a big misconduct, right? I believe the Tai Yi Celestial Sect would be displeased as well if people were to trespass on its estate, right?” His eyes grew colder as he spoke.

As soon as Elder Hong and Elder Qi finished speaking, the elders behind them began to speak up one after another in an indignant manner as they glared at Tie Tai He. Killing intent flashed in their eyes as they spoke.

“Tie Tai He! If you don’t give us a satisfactory explanation today, we won’t let this matter go!”

“That’s right! Even without Elder Hong and Elder Qi, we’re still capable of imprisoning you in the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect!”

“Tie Tai He, you should pay for trespassing!”

Tie Tai He was slightly taken aback by their blatant hostility. They had directly accused him of misconduct without any attempt at being diplomatic. Nevertheless, he turned a deaf ear to them and retreated to Duan Ling Tian’s side in just a flash.

The high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect were dumbfounded when they saw this. Based on Tie Tai He’s actions, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian was the leader of the trio?

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian stepped forward and casually said, “Today’s misconduct has nothing to do with Elder Tie. I’m the one who suggested charging into the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s estate. I, Duan Ling Tian, came today only for one purpose, and one purpose only. I want to listen to your young master, Bai Yu Xuan, recount how he survived when He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, supposedly tried to kill him!” His eyes flashed coldly when he spoke.

A commotion broke out among the high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect as soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking.

“You’re the one who suggested trespassing on our Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s estate? Are you even qualified to do something like that?”

“That’s right! Although you’re a rare genius in alchemy, you’re just a mere Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. It’s impossible for a puny Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial like you to be able to breach the defensive Formation of our sect!”

“Do you think we’re stupid?”

The high-ranking officials sneered as they looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he was an idiot. They continued mocking him.

“Hey, haven’t you heard the news from the Blissful Sect? Master Duan from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had lied about coming from a powerful clan in the central area!”

“I heard about it. How can we trust the words of a liar?”

“He’s nothing but a liar!”

Duan Ling Tian remained unaffected by their words. Despite the nonchalance in his tone, when he spoke, his voice drowned out the clamor from the high-ranking officials. “I’ll give you three breaths’ time… In three breaths time, if no one summons Bai Yu Xuan over, I’ll kill one of you. I’ll keep on killing one of you at a time until the young master is summoned…” He had spoken so flippantly that it seemed as though he was talking about something insignificant.

The entire place was as silent as a graveyard as soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking. After a beat, the high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect laughed uproariously when they regained their senses.

“This is killing me! Everyone, did you hear what he said? He said if we don’t summon the young master here after three breaths, he’s going to kill us one at a time until we accede to his demand!”
