Meng Luo was stunned and shaken as he followed the two figures into the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Duan Ling Tian had the introductions earlier. Although he did not know what an Ascension Elder of the Pure Yang Sect meant, he knew Ye Chen Feng had to be very powerful among the gods and had a high status. However, when Duan Ling Tian further explained that the Pure Yang Sect was an emperor-rank force in the Realm of Gods and that Ye Chen Feng was an Emperor of Gods, he was still shocked.

Although Meng Luo had never been to any Realm of Gods, Feng Qing Yang had spoken to him about Emperors of Gods in the Realms of Gods before. They could be considered one of the top powerhouses in the Realms of Gods.

Meng Luo was also aware that natives of Realms of Gods would have their power restrained when they came to the lower realms. This was because in the past, a person from the Realm of Gods had come to kill Feng Qing Yang. At that time, that person had boasted about his strength and how he could kill Feng Qing Yang with just a sneeze if his power was not restrained in the lower realms. However, although that person’s strength was restrained, Feng Qing Yang, who had yet to attain godhood, was no match for that person at all. Luckily, that person was unable to kill Feng Qing Yang and only managed to force Feng Qing Yang to flee to the Asura Hell, one of the seven deadliest places in the Devata Realms.

At that time, Meng Luo did not think there was any hope of survival for Feng Qing Yang in such a treacherous place. Fortunately, Feng Qing Yang managed to return safely in the end.

‘Young Master mentioned earlier that Elder Ye isn’t a native of the Realm of Gods. He came from a mundane realm. This means that his strength isn’t restrained here. I can’t imagine the strength of this person who’s even stronger than the Young Master.’

Meng Luo was still in shock over Ye Chen Feng’s strength that he was in a daze for a long time.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian brought Ye Chen Feng to his former cultivation ground in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Elder Huo had personally monitored the reconstruction of Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation ground after the entire Heavenly Palace was destroyed.

While Duan Ling Tian and Ye Chen Feng were chatting in the front courtyard, Elder Huo, who was dressed in a fiery-red robe, appeared.

Meng Luo had informed Elder Huo about Duan Ling Tian’s return, but he had kept the other high-ranking officials, who wanted to greet Duan Ling Tian, away.

“Young Master,” Elder Huo called out.

“Elder Huo.” Duan Ling Tian smiled brightly and rose to his feet. Then, he introduced Ye Chen Feng to Elder Huo.

Duan Ling Tian always treated Elder Huo like an elder even though Elder Huo was now his subordinate. After all, when he was still in the mundane realm, Elder Huo and the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had saved his life many times.

“Elder Huo, Senior Meng Luo, you can go back to your work. Elder Ye and I will be leaving after a while,” Duan Ling Tian said, “Elder Ye is here to help me rescue master in the Land of the Dead. Both of you will be able to meet master soon!”

Earlier, Duan Ling Tian had confirmed with Meng Luo that Feng Qing Yang was still alive. He had felt greatly relieved. As long as Feng Qing Yang was alive, he was determined to save Feng Qing Yang. Although his doppelganger could not do anything to Mi Xuan, it was different for Ye Chen Feng, an Emperor of Gods. He knew that the strength of Ye Chen Feng’s soul was at least 100 times stronger than his.

Meng Luo and Elder Huo had always been concerned about Feng Qing Yang’s safety ever since he left. Earlier, when they found out Duan Ling Tian’s guest was an Emperor of Gods, they had already wondered if Ye Chen Feng was here to help Duan Ling Tian rescue Feng Qing Yang. Now that their speculation had been confirmed, they were overjoyed. Before they left, they bowed and thanked Ye Chen Feng profusely.

After the duo left, Ye Chen Feng said with a smile, “They’re very loyal to your master.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Senior Meng Luo has been with master for a very long time. He’s extremely loyal to master. Although the time Elder Huo has spent with master isn’t too long, he treats my master as his savior because my master gave him a new lease on life.”

Ye Chen Feng nodded. “Loyalty is a rare trait nowadays.” After saying that, he asked, “When should we leave?”

“We can leave any time,” Duan Ling Tian said, “However, I’ve never been to the Land of the Dead, and I don’t know how to get there. I’ll have to ask around first.”

“No need,” Ye Chen Feng said with a smile, “Before attaining godhood, I’d been to the Land of the Dead so I know the way there. What you need to do is figure out how to locate your master and that Phantom clan member in the Land of the Dead. The Land of the Dead is vast. It’d be like searching for a needle in a haystack if we look for them aimlessly.”

Duan Ling Tian frowned slightly. “I’ll try my best to do so…”

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian regretted killing Wu Hong Qing, the Temple Master of the main Title Temple, in such haste. Since Wu Hong Qing managed to get Mi Xuan to deal with his master, Wu Hong Qing must have known where Mi Xuan was hiding in the Land of the Dead or possessed Mi Xuan’s Soul Pearl.

“Elder Ye, please stay here while I investigate this matter,” Duan Ling Tian said. He bade farewell to Ye Chen Feng and left the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

…

After leaving the Heavenly Palace in the Solitary Destructive Heaven, Duan Ling Tian made his way to the nearest Transportation Formation that would bring him to the Title Temple branch in the Solitary Destructive Heaven.

The new Branch Temple Master of the Title Temple in the Solitary Destructive Heaven was Zhuang Tian Heng’s close confidant.

Zhuang Tian Heng, who became the Temple Master of the main Title Temple thanks to Duan Ling Tian, had appointed his friend to the Title Temple branch in the Solitary Destructive Heaven to ensure no one from the temple there would offend Duan Ling Tian should Duan Ling Tian show up.

Hence, the new Branch Temple Master was very courteous and respectful to Duan Ling Tian and quickly brought Duan Ling Tian to meet Zhuang Tian Heng in the main Title Temple.

Zhuang Tian Heng, who had gotten accustomed to his high position, had become much more arrogant compared to the past. Nonetheless, when he saw Duan Ling Tian, he was very humble. He bowed and asked, “My lord, how can I help you?”

Duan Ling Tian asked without beating around the bush, “Is there anyone left in the Title Temple who had a good relationship with Wu Hong Qing?”

Zhuang Tian Heng smiled wryly and said, “No. After you got rid of most of Wu Hong Qing’s followers, I got rid of the few remaining ones. My lord, do you need those people?”

“Nevermind,” Duan Ling Tian said without any explanation. He did not show his disappointment.

Duan Ling Tian also received a huge amount of cultivation resources from Duan Ling Tian. Previously, he had told Zhuang Tian Heng to gather cultivation resources that would benefit his family and friends. Years had passed since then so Zhuang Tian Heng had gathered quite a lot.

“If there’s anything, contact Elder Huo from the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. I’ll try and help you solve things if you can’t,” Duan Ling Tian said. Although he knew Zhuang Tian was afraid of him and would not dare to act against him, there was nothing wrong with offering Zhuang Tian Heng benefits to keep him even more loyal.

“Yes, my lord!” Zhuang Tian Heng said respectfully with a bright smile on his face, “Safe journey, my lord!”

…

When Duan Ling Tian returned to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, he said to Ye Chen Feng, “Elder Ye, I can’t find any leads. However, I have an idea.”

“What is it?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

“We’ll lure him out of his hiding place,” Duan Ling Tian said as his eyes glinted coldly, “Elder Ye, after we arrive at the Land of the Dead, I’ll send a message to him.”

“Alright.” Ye Chen Feng knew the easiest way to find Mi Xuan was through Duan Ling Tian. It would be too time-consuming for him to search the entire Land of the Dead for Mi Xuan. Moreover, if he took too long, who knew if Mi Xuan would kill Feng Qing Yang and possess another body? If that happened, he would lose this great opportunity!
