Chapter 2919: Murong Bing's Predicament

Tie Tai He knew there was a conflict between Duan Ling Tian and the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect even if he did not know the details. Although he did not attend the Alchemy Conference, he had heard from the prominent Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Situ Ming, that the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had sent an elder to kill Duan Ling Tian in the past. However, according to Situ Ming, Duan Ling Tian seemed to have forgiven the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. Therefore, he could not figure out the reason for Duan Ling Tian’s visit to the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.

Duan Ling Tian responded to Tie Tai He’s question. “Let’s just enter.” His eyes glinted as his Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body and shrouded Huan’er and Tie Tai He.

In just a moment, the trio disappeared into thin air. When they reappeared, they were in a vast and majestic land filled with lush greeneries where the songs of birds rang in the air and the fragrance of flowers permeated the air. The mountains were so tall that they touched the clouds.

Tie Tai He was about to greet the people of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect when Duan Ling Tian suddenly said in a thunderously loud voice, “My name is Duan Ling Tian, and I’m Murong Bing’s man. I have come to the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect to challenge your sect’s Ten Directions Celestial Duke, Wang Qiu Kuang!”

Tie Tai He was thoroughly shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s words. Although he had heard vague whispers of Duan Ling Tian’s romantic relationship with Murong Bing, a disciple of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, he did not expect Duan Ling Tian to travel all the way to the sect’s estate just to challenge their Ten Directions Celestial Duke, Wang Qiu Kuang. It was not difficult for him to figure out the meaning behind Duan Ling Tian’s actions. It was public knowledge that Murong Bing’s master was Wang Dan Feng, the Second Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. In her younger years, she was famous for her ruthlessness. Many people had also heard of how she had killed her direct disciple whom she had raised to be the next Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect when said disciple had a romantic relationship with an outsider.

‘It seems like Master Duan and Murong Bing are really involved. Since this means Murong Bing would be disqualified from being the next Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, Master Duan must be worried she would suffer the same fate as her senior sister. He must have come here to stop Wang Dan Feng from doing so by directly challenging her father, Wang Qiu Kuang, who’s a Ten Directions Celestial Duke!’ Tie Tai He instantly understood what was going on.

Meanwhile, Huan’er’s eyes were flashing with envy when she heard Duan Ling Tian announced he was Murong Bing’s man. How could she not be envious when she had long developed feelings for Duan Ling Tian? However, her feelings were clearly unrequited since she could tell Duan Ling Tian was firmly keeping a distance from her. She sighed inwardly, dejected. ‘If only I can capture his heart like Sister Murong Bing did…’

Duan Ling Tian’s thunderous voice that was infused with his Celestial Origin Energy resonated through the entire Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s estate.

The estate fell deadly silent.

The high-ranking officials and disciples of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect were shocked and baffled.

“Did you hear that voice? I… I’m not hearing things, am I?”

“No, I heard it as well. A man just claimed to be Senior Sister Murong Bing’s man. More importantly, he’s here to challenge our Supreme Guardian!”

“The Supreme Guardian is our Second Guardian’s father. He’s also the sect’s one and only male member… This man wants to challenge our Supreme Guardian who’s a powerful Ten Directions Celestial Duke? Is he seeking death?”

“I’m curious… Since when did Senior Sister Murong Bing become romantically involved with this man? She should know it’s forbidden for her to be in a romantic relationship since she’s going to be our sect leader in the future!”

“Let’s go find out what’s going on.”

“Who is he? Is he crazy?”

“He must be crazy. It’s normal for men to go crazy over Senior Sister Murong Bing’s beauty, after all.”

Most of the disciples of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect estate were of the opinion that Duan Ling Tian must have lost his mind to Murong Bing’s beauty. They thought he was just a simpleton who had gone crazy due to his infatuation and came to challenge their Supreme Elder. These people seemed to have overlooked the fact that a simpleton would not have been able to enter the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect’s estate without the sect’s permission.

At this moment, a group of the disciples from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect flew up into the air to the source of the voice. When they saw Duan Ling Tian, hints of pity could be seen in their eyes. It was as though they could already see their Supreme Guardian mercilessly killing Duan Ling Tian.

“Wait a minute… Did he say he’s Duan Ling Tian? Why does that name sound so familiar?”

“Duan Ling Tian? Isn’t he the genius prominent Celestial Alchemist who recently became famous during the Alchemy Conference in the Six Southeastern Regions?”

“You’re right! Duan Ling Tian’s the Chief Alchemist Celestial of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Although he hasn’t even reached the age of 100, he’s already a prominent Celestial Alchemist!”

“Most importantly, he’s a prominent Celestial Alchemist whose skills are superior to the supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect!”

“This lunatic is delusional. Not only does he think Senior Sister Murong Bing is his woman, but he also thinks he’s the genius prominent Celestial Alchemist from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!”

“How absurd! His actions are a blasphemy against Senior Sister Murong Bing. It’s an insult to our Supreme Guardian as well. There’s no doubt he’s going to have to pay with his life today!”

A commotion broke out among the disciples of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect as they fervently discussed the madman who was impersonating Duan Ling Tian, the genius prominent Celestial Alchemist.

More and more disciples gathered to watch the show. It was human nature to be nosy, and this rang especially true for women. The female disciples of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect were no exception.

Meanwhile, the elders of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect who were infuriated by Duan Ling Tian’s words took to the air immediately.

“Where did this madman come from? How dare he blaspheme our Supreme Guardian!”

“He said Junior Niece Murong Bing is his woman? Preposterous!”

“He even said he’s Duan Ling Tian, the best prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions and the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.”

“How dare he provokes our Supreme Guardian! He must be tired of living!”

On the contrary, a few prominent Celestial Alchemists who had attended the Alchemy Conference were able to recognize Duan Ling Tian’s voice. Moreover, based on what they had seen during the Alchemy Conference, they had long suspected there was something going on between Duan Ling Tian and Murong Bing. They did not waste any time and left their courtyards to have a look.

“Duan Ling Tian?”

“Yes, it does sound like him, doesn’t it?”

“Master Duan wants to challenge the Supreme Guardian? Did he lose his mind?”

“Who knows? Let’s go find out.”

“Duan Ling Tian?”

“Why is he here? Is he seeking death?”

Lin Ru, the First Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, had followed Nangong Xiu, the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, to the Alchemy Conference. Therefore, she also recognized Duan Ling Tian’s voice. Nangong Xiu had told her about the matter between Duan Ling Tian and Murong Bing, and she was rather happy when she heard Duan Ling Tian saying he was from a powerful clan called the Crimson Sky’s Duan Clan in the central area. The marriage between Duan Ling Tian and Murong Bing would definitely be a wonderful story in the history of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.

After returning from the Alchemy Conference, Lin Ru and Nangong Xiu had even gone to speak to Wang Dan Feng, the Second Guardian of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. As expected, Wang Dan Feng was furious and wanted to kill Murong Bing when she found out Murong Bing had lost her virginity to Duan Ling Tian. However, since Wang Dan Feng was wary of Duan Ling Tian’s extraordinary background in the central area, she did not dare to kill Murong Bing.

It remained so until Wang Dan Feng heard the news about the Blissful Sect’s investigation that Duan Ling Tian was just a mere transcender with no background. She had almost killed Murong Bing. Fortunately, Nangong Xiu managed to stop her in time. Nangong Xiu had planted doubts in Wang Dan Feng’s mind, questioning the veracity of the result of the Blissful Sect’s investigation. However, this was only a solution that could only temporarily preserve Murong Bing’s life. Murong Bing was still held captive by Wang Dan Feng as they waited for the result of their own investigation. As soon as Wang Dan Feng confirmed Duan Ling Tian did not have any extraordinary background, there was no doubt she would immediately kill Murong Bing!
