“You’re right! It’s Duan Ling Tian!” Lei Ying said through gritted teeth at this moment. Her expression darkened as soon as You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace, finished speaking. “No wonder I found that purple figure so familiar.”
Following that, Lei Ying turned to Xu Lang and sneered before she said in an increasingly cold voice, “Xu Lang, your student is really amazing. Not only did he release Pei Yuan Ji and the others, but he even killed my son. To think I helped you persuade the Palace Master to go to the Prodigy Arena to stop the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor at that time. In the end, it came back and bit me in the as*!”
Upon hearing Lei Ying’s words, Xu Lang’s first thought was that Lei Ying only helped him because of Huan’er; it was not out of the goodness of her heart. After all, Huan’er was the prodigious disciple she was most proud of. Naturally, he kept his thoughts to himself. He only smiled bitterly before he said with a sigh, “Lei Ying, I’m really unaware of this. Otherwise, I would’ve stopped him.”
“Doesn’t this mean my eldest disciple died for nothing? He was killed by a spy!” An old man with white hair who looked younger than his age finally spoke up as he looked at Xu Lang with a cold gaze after remaining silent all this time. He was none other than the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor whose strength was only second to You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace. Then, he shifted his gaze that now contained a hint of gloating to Lei Ying as he said, “Lei Ying, to think you saved that person only for him to kill your son.”
Lei Ying’s expression darkened further when she heard the Profound Heaven Celestial Emperor’s words that poked at her sore spot. She said icily, “Once we find them, I want to kill Duan Ling Tian with my own hands. No one’s to interfere.”
Although Lei Ying was usually very strict with Lei Jun, she only wanted the best for him. After all, he was her son. To others, her son might not be as outstanding as Huan’er or her eldest disciple, but to her, her son was, naturally, the most important even if she did not show it.
“Don’t worry, Lei Ying… You can kill Duan Ling Tian; we won’t fight you for it. After all, he killed your son,” Gu Chang Jiang, the Martial Dragon Emperor, said with a smile. Then, he turned to Xu Lang and said mockingly, “However, I don’t know if Xu Lang wants to kill Duan Ling Tian with his own hands as well…”
Xu Lang remained silent, and his expression remained grim. Despite the evidence, he still had a difficult time believing his seventh prodigious disciple had betrayed him and the Heavenly Pool Palace. After a moment, he thought to himself, ‘I’m sure Ya Si has heard about this by now…’
Xu Ya Si, Xu Lang’s daughter, was one of the three Head Wardens in the Thousand Chains Prison. Now that something so serious happened in the Thousand Chains Prison, the elders from the prison definitely would have informed her of it. Moreover, she was not only one of the three Head Wardens of the Thousand Chains Prison, but she was also the Pavilion Master of the Life or Death Pavilion in the Thousand Chains Prison.
With these thoughts in mind, Xu Lang sent a message to Xu Ya Si.
Soon enough, Xu Lang received Xu Ya Si’s reply.
“Yes, I’ve heard about it.”
As Xu Lang expected, Xu Ya Si had heard about what had transpired from the elders of the Thousand Chains Prison.
…
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian had already expected Xu Lang to find out about what he had done. However, what he did not expect was for Xu Lang and the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor to be in the Heavenly Pool Palace. After all, he had already planned for the duo to be lured away from the Heavenly Pool Palace’s estate. Who could he have known that the person he had hired to imitate him was killed and did not have a chance to carry out his plan? According to his plan, there were another five to six days before the duo returned to the estate after receiving news about the prison break.
“Senior Meng Chuan!” Duan Ling Tian called out.
Duan Ling Tian, Pei Yuan Ji, and the others had traveled swiftly and finally met Meng Chuan at the halfway point.
Meng Chuan smiled faintly when he saw Duan Ling Tian and the others. He said, “I guess your plan went smoothly…”
“You’re Meng Chuan? The Jade Bow Celestial Emperor from the Solitary Destructive Heaven’s Heavenly Palace?” Xue Jin Hua, the Golden Flower Celestial Emperor, who was also from the Solitary Destructive Heaven stepped forward at this moment. Her cloudy eyes seemed to brighten when she looked at Meng Chuan. “I’ve heard so much about you and your brother, Meng Luo.”
“You are?” Meng Chuan asked as he looked at the old lady in front of him.

“I don’t think you’ve heard of me. I’m Xue Jin Hua, the Golden Flower Celestial Emperor”
Meng Chuan was looking at the old lady.
“Golden Flower Celestial Emperor, Xue Jin Hua… Nevertheless, you must not have heard of me,” Xue Jin Hua said.
“The Golden Flower Celestial Emperor?” Meng Chuan’s eyes widened when he heard Xue Jin Hua’s words. “You… Are you the craz…” He swallowed the word ‘crazy’ and hurriedly changed his words as he said, “You’re the one who killed your husband because he was still fooling around despite his old age?”
“There’s no need for you to spare my feelings. Indeed. I’m that crazy woman. I didn’t expect you to have heard of that matter….” Xue Jin Hua said after she laughed bitterly, “I guess most titled Celestial Emperors in the Solitary Destructive Heaven had heard of that matter….”
Meng Chuan nodded slightly. “After all, both of you are titled Celestial Emperors. We all run in the same circle…”
“Indeed.” Xue Jin Hua nodded.
Duan Ling Tian, Pei Yuan Ji, and the others were shocked by this revelation. Who knew the old lady had such a past?
Ke Bai Lu, the White Deer Celestial Emperor, gulped before he said, “Old Lady Xue, who knew you’re so savage. You even killed your husband! I knew you were crazy, but I didn’t expect you to be crazy enough to kill your husband!”
“He brought it upon himself,” Xue Jin Hua scoffed before she said, “I’ve always let it slide when he fooled around outside. Who knew he’d be so bold as to bring them back to our residence? I, Xue Jin Hua, would be a doormat if I didn’t kill him!”
At this moment, the fat old man, Ma Chi, the Thunder Hurricane Celestial Emperor, swiftly changed the topic. “Let’s go! If we stay here and chat, the Heavenly Pool Palace is going to catch up to us!”
“They’ve already caught up to us,” Pei Yuan Ji said as soon as Ma Chi finished speaking. He turned around to look at the seemingly empty horizon.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
As soon as Pei Yuan Ji’s voice fell, the sound of wind whistling rang in the air. In just a blink of an eye, nine people surrounded Duan Ling Tian and the others.
Needless to say, the nine people were You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace, and the other eight Heavenly Pool Palace’s titled Celestial Emperors.
‘Teacher?’ Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed slightly when he discovered Xu Lang was among the group of people who surrounded them. With this, he knew his plan had gone awry.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian heard the Voice Transmission from Xue Jin Hua. “Ling Tian, what happened? I thought you said the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor and the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor won’t be here? All of them are here!”
“I… I’m not sure. Something might have happened to the person I hired to lure them away,” Duan Ling Tian replied through Voice Transmission. He did not think the person he had hired had intentionally messed up his plan. After all, he would not have hired the person if he had deemed the person unreliable. Therefore, he was rather certain something had happened to that person before that person could send a message to Xu Lang and the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor.
Similarly, the others, except for Pei Yuan Ji, also sent Voice Transmissions to Duan Ling Tian, asking him about what happened.
Duan Ling Tian replied bitterly, “Something went wrong with my plan…”
At this moment, You Feng Yu’s gaze fell on Meng Chuan after he glanced at Pei Yuan Ji. “Meng Chuan? You even stooped so low as to work with Duan Ling Tian for the sake of rescuing Lian Qiu?”
Previously, Meng Chuan had looked for You Feng Yu to ask for the release of Lian Qiu and his wife. However, he had denied Meng Chuan’s request. Therefore, he came to this conclusion when he saw Meng Chuan with Lian Qiu and the others.
Meng Chuan said indifferently, “I don’t know Lian Qiu. I’m only here because of Duan Ling Tian…”
You Feng Yu was shocked by Meng Chuan’s words. This meant that Meng Chuan had come to him previously because of Duan Ling Tian as well. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Duan Ling Tian again. When he regained his senses, he asked, “Meng Chuan, are you going to make an enemy out of the Heavenly Pool Palace? Does your action represent you alone or the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven?”
“Does it matter? You can interpret my actions as you see fit…” Meng Chuan said with a faint smile. If it were not for his brother, Meng Luo, the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor, he knew You Feng Yu would not even ask if his actions represented the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.
At this time, Lei Ying could no longer hold back. She glared at Duan Ling Tian with bloodshot eyes as she asked through gritted teeth, “Duan Ling Tian! Why did you kill my son? What did he ever do to you?”
