To confirm his speculation, Duan Ling Tian even looked for Wanqi Jue, the Golden Seat Elder from the Wanqi clan. As he had suspected, Wanqi Jue, who clearly could not wait to kill him yesterday, was very calm today. Although there was no smile on Wanqi Jues face, he was not hostile either.
After that, Duan Ling Tian found Zhen Ping Fan and said, Elder Zhen, I feel that something is up. Those from the Wanqi clan, Wanqi Jue in particular, are behaving strangely.
Perhaps, if it were just the members of the Wanqi clan, Duan Ling Tian would not have been so suspicious. After all, they were only humiliated at best and did not suffer a great loss. However, it was highly suspicious for Wanqi Jue, who was directly involved in the matter, to act like nothing happened.
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tians words, Zhen Ping Fan said with a smile, Theres nothing wrong. Theyve likely vented their anger yesterday. Let alone Wanqi Jue, even Wanqi Hong has lived for almost 10,000 years. Theyre aware of the saying, Theres no use crying over spilled milk. Even if they shout, curse, and feel unwilling, they kn ore executing the plan, Zhen Ping Fan had told him about the time Wanqi Jue killed a prodigy from the Pure Yang Sects Cloud Peak faction in a sparring session. Wanqi Jue could have easily spared his opponents life, but he did not. The prodigy who died was Zhen Ping Fans senior brother. If he were still alive, he would be a rudimentary Emperor of Gods at least.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian also knew that Zhen Ping Fan told him about the matter to relieve him of any mental burden regarding tricking Wanqi Jue.
After a few moments, Duan Ling Tian sent another message to Zhen Ping Fan.
Elder Zhen, why dont we inform the sect so they can send an Ascension Elders to escort us back to the sect? Perhaps, Ascension Elder Zhen can come if its convenient?
Although Duan Ling Tian thought that they should be fine, it was better to be safe than sorry. Moreover, he thought his suggestion was not very troublesome as well.
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tians Voice Transmission, Zhen Ping Fan said with a smile, Youre really very cautious. Well, my father is already here. Hes waiting for us outside of the Seven Kills Valleys estate. Hell join us as soon as we leave.
Duan Ling Tian did not expect this at all. He was both surprised and relieved. Elder Zhen Yun Feng is here? Why didnt he come into the Seven Kills Valley instead of waiting outside?
He doesnt want to exchange small talks with the Seven Kills Valley, Zhen Ping Fan said somewhat helplessly.
Duan Ling Tian asked, Since hes here, we dont need to wait for the Wanqi clan to leave before leaving, right? Theres no need to fear an ambush from the Wanqi clan, after all.
Dont worry. We wont have to wait for long anyway, Zhen Ping Fan said, This is the suggestion of Ye Tong and the others. My father arrived late last night, and Ive yet to inform them about it. I think Ill keep it that way. Theyll be pleasantly surprised when they see my father later.
Zhen Ping Fans words completely alleviated Duan Ling Tians worries. With Zhen Yun Feng around, there was no need to worry about anything. After all, Zhen Yun Feng was much stronger than Wanqi Jue even when Wanqi Jue was in possession of his prominent divine artifact with an incomplete artifact soul, let alone now that Wanqi Jue had lost his weapon.
The Wanqi clan left the next morning in a hurry.
Two hours after the Wanqi clan left, Duan Ling Tian received a message from Zhen Ping Fan.
Its been two hours since the Wanqi clan left. We should leave now.
Duan Ling Tian left the courtyard as soon as he received the message. He saw that many members of the Pure Yang Sect had already begun to gather as well.
At this time, Ye Tong, the Hidden Sword factions Nirvanic Elder, suggested, Junior brother, why dont we ask an intermediate Emperor of Gods from the Seven Kills Valley to accompany us to the entrance? Im worried the Wanqi clan might be waiting to ambush us near the entrance. Moreover, wed still be in the range of the Seven Kills Valleys Guarding Formation so we cant use our flying ship yet.
Zhen Ping Fan shook his head. Seeing how worried Ye Tong was, he said with a smile, Theres no need for that. My father is already here. Hell be meeting us at the entrance, and hell be escorting us back to the Pure Yang Sect.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised and visibly relieved upon hearing Zhen Ping Fans words.
Ye Tong smiled brightly. Since junior uncle is here, theres naturally no need for us to seek protection from the Seven Kills Valley. Then, he looked at Zhen Ping Fan with a helpless expression as he said, Junior brother, you shouldve told me about this earlier. Ive been worrying about this matter.
The elders from the other factions in the Pure Yang Sect also smiled with helpless expressions on their faces. Indeed, if they had known the Ascension Elder from the Cloud Peak faction was here, they would not have worried at all.
Alright, lets go.
Zhen Ping Fan flew at the lead as Duan Ling Tian and the others followed from behind, leaving the Seven Kills Valleys estate. As soon as they left the estate, they saw Zhen Yun Feng. Everyone quickly greeted him.
Following that, those that came on different flying ships all boarded Zhen Ping Fans flying ship as well. Although it was a little crowded, no one complained. After all, this concerned their safety. Who knew if their return trip would be a smooth and peaceful one?
