“Two intermediate Lords of Gods joined our sect in a day?” Duan Ling Tian was surprised.

Intermediate Lords of Gods could be considered quite powerful. Those who could reach this realm were considered relatively talented. Without sufficient strength, they would not have been able to survive the Heavenly Tribulations, after all.

After becoming a King of Gods, one would have to face a Heavenly Tribulation once every 1,000 years. The Heavenly Tribulations would become subsequently stronger. To be able to survive so many Heavenly Tribulations before becoming an intermediate Lords of Gods, one had to be quite strong. Those who were weak had already been culled by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Xue Hai Chuan speculated out loud, “Perhaps, they’re friends and decided to join the sect together? Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?”

Nearly ten years had passed since the start of the Imperial War, which meant almost 3,650 days had passed. During that time, not even one intermediate Lord of Gods had joined the Flying Dragon Sect. It was indeed rather strange that two intermediate Lords of Gods joined the Flying Dragon Sect in a day.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “I agree. They must know each other. They likely didn’t travel here together…”

Dongfang Yan Nian, who had just received another message, nodded as well. “That’s right. I heard that the second intermediate Lord of Gods is also as aloof and taciturn as the first one. Birds of a feather flock together, huh? However, I really wonder how two aloof and taciturn people get along with each other…”

Duan Ling Tian laughed. “I’m sure they have their own way…”

“That’s right.” Xue Hai Chuan nodded.

“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about them,” Dongfang Yan Nian, who just recalled the purpose of his visit, said, changing the subject, “Hurry up and tell me about the things that happened recently in detail! Little Tian, you first. Tell me, how did you know Kuang Tian Zheng was going to ambush you and kill you? You even managed to get rid of him.”

With that, Duan Ling Tian patiently recounted what happened to Dongfang Yan Nian.

…

At the same time.

In a remote valley in the Flying Dragon Sect’s estate.

Someone said furiously, “Those two idiots! I told them to join the sect separately, they really came separately! But what’s the point when they came on the same day?! Fools! In the first place, there’d been no intermediate Lords of Gods who joined our sect since the Imperial War began. With this, they’re already eye-catching enough. Now that they came one after another, they’re going to be even more eye-catching. Moreover, both of them are really alike. With all these things, everyone is going to assume they’re friends who decided to join the sect together!”

At this moment, a middle-aged man was seen roaring furiously in a clean courtyard in the valley.

A young woman standing at the side said, “Father, they’re death warriors, after all. It’s normal that they don’t put much thought into these kinds of things. Why don’t you speak to their superior so he can make sure they don’t act suspiciously after this…”

“I already spoke to their superior,” the middle-aged man said after taking a deep breath. His mood seemed to have improved after he listened to his daughter.

The woman said, “It’s best if you tell them not to deny knowing each other. If they deny it now, they’re going to look even more suspicious. After all, no one would believe that two unrelated intermediate Lords of Gods joined the sect on the same day.”

The middle-aged man nodded. “I’ve already thought about his and spoken to their superior.”

At this time, a hesitant expression appeared on the young woman’s face. Then, she looked at the middle-aged man and asked tentatively, “Father, can I tell Brother Can about this?”

The middle-aged man asked, “What’s the point in telling him about this? Is he going to risk his life and lead the two death warriors to Duan Ling Tian? No, right? The fewer people know about death warriors, the better it is. It’s not that I don’t trust him, but we can’t afford to be careless regarding this matter.”

After a brief pause, the middle-aged man said again, “You can tell him about it after the two death warriors have successfully killed Duan Ling Tian. However, you better make sure he keeps it a secret. Warn him not to tell those closest to him as well. If there’s any mistake, I’ll lose my life. Do you understand the gravity of this matter? If something happens to me, my enemies won’t let you and your husband go.”

The middle-aged man’ expression turned grimmer and grimmer as he spoke.

The woman frowned briefly before she said reassuringly, “Don’t worry, father. I won’t tell Brother Can about this. Two of us will be the only ones privy to his matter in the Flying Dragon Sect.”

The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing the young woman’s words. Then, he said with a faint smile, “That’s for the best. I knew you’re sensible…”

After a moment, the young woman asked, “Father, those two’s movements are restricted to the designated cultivation ground. How are they going to find a chance to make a move? I doubt Duan Ling Tian is going to go to the designated cultivation ground for no reason.”

“Their chance will come,” the middle-aged man said confidently, “As long as Duan Ling Tian did not enter the Imperial War Realm, a chance will definitely present itself. From what I know, Duan Ling Tian enters and leaves the battlefield and Imperial War a few times now. When he was a King of Gods, he only entered the King Battlefield once. After becoming a Lord of Gods, he went to the Imperial War Realm twice. The second time he went there was to exchange for things he needed with the contribution points that Xue Hai Chuan ”

Duan Ling Tian would have been surprised if he knew the middle-aged man paid such close attention to him. The middle-aged man even knew that his last trip to the Imperial War Realm was only to exchange for the things he needed in Peace City.

“He’ll definitely enter the Imperial War Realm again, and at that time, he’ll die!” The middle-aged man brimmed with confidence when he spoke.

“But…” the woman frowned slightly and said, “There are Golden Dragon Elders and Black Dragon Elders standing guard at the entrance to the Imperial War Realm. How are they going to kill Duan Ling Tian?”

“Don’t worry. They’ll create a distraction,” the middle-aged man said smugly, “I paid for two death warriors, and they gave me another three death warriors. Apart from the two intermediate Lords of Gods, there are two intermediate Kings of Gods and one advanced King of Gods. Those three Kings of Gods will attack the disciples elsewhere to lure the elders away. At that time, the two intermediate Lords of Gods will kill Duan Ling Tian. The Golden Dragon Elder and the Black Dragon Elder would take at least two and a half breaths and three breaths each to react. Then, they’ll need another breath before they arrive. All in all, the death warriors will have at least three breaths to act, and that’s more than enough,” the middle-aged man said with a sinister smile.

…

After Dongfang Yan Nian left, Duan Ling Tian did not return to the Sikong Yu’s cultivation ground. Instead, he stayed with Xue Hai Chuan. In fact, he no longer needed protection from Xue Hai Chuan and Sikong Yu since he was already a rudimentary Lord of Gods. This could be seen when he survived Kuang Tian Zheng’s assassination attempt. Currently, unless two or more inner elders, a White Dragon Elder, or someone stronger than a White Dragon took action, he was quite safe.

The 10,000 Devils faction in the Flying Dragon Sect had two White Dragon Elders, but they would never risk attacking Duan Ling Tian in the sect since they would be executed. They were likely even more deterred now with Kuang Tian Zheng serving as an example.

Liu Yin, one of the White Dragon Elders from the 10,000 Devils faction, might be willing to risk his life to kill Xue Hai Shan, but he definitely would not risk his life to kill Duan Ling Tian. After all, he did not have any deep-seated grudge against Duan Ling Tian.

When Kuang Tian Zheng, his relatives, and disciples were executed, the 10,000 Devils faction did not plead for mercy on his behalf at all, let alone plead for his relatives and disciples. In their opinion, it was not their turn to plead for mercy. After all, Kuang Tian Zheng’s biggest supporter was not the 10,000 Devils faction but Xue Ming Zhi, one of the Vice Sect Leaders of the Flying Dragon Sect. Even Xue Ming Zhi was unable to protect Kuang Tian Zheng’s relatives and disciples, let alone them. It would be useless even if they pleaded for mercy, and they had no intention of doing something so pointless.

Duan Ling Tian stayed in the room he had previously stayed in Xue Hai Chuan’s courtyard. At this moment, he had just stopped cultivating.

He sighed and muttered to himself, “The speed for progress for rudimentary Lords of Gods is too slow. Even with the help of divine pills, it’s impossible for me to break through in a short time. It’s even harder than breaking through from an advanced King of Gods to a rudimentary Lord of Gods…”

Although he had known this beforehand, he still could not help but feel demotivated after discovering that the speed did not improve much even after he had taken various divine pills.

“Since breaking through will take a while, I should focus on comprehending the law of space for now… I can sleep and comprehend the law of space with the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. Moreover, I also have the Floating Image Pearl that contained the recording of the duel between powerhouses who comprehended the law of space. My comprehension should improve by leaps and bounds with these two things…”

With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian no longer let his slow progress weigh him down and turned his attention to the law of space. Based on his current situation, it was better for him to comprehend the law of space.
