War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens Chapter 3910 - Xue Ming Zhi Loses His Composure

The Flying Dragon Sect, a dignified emperor-rank force, was infiltrated by Death Soldiers? It was an insult to the sect!

The expression of Long Qing Chong, the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, turned unsightly as soon as he heard the Black Dragon Elders words. The culprit was blatantly challenging the dignity of the Flying Dragon Sect!

Yang Feng, the Golden Dragon Elder, stepped forward and said, Im certain they were death warriors. I monitored them for a time. They were serious and reclusive. They hardly respond when spoken to. They did not flinch at all when faced with death. It was as though they didnt know fear...

The cost to hire a death warrior whos an intermediate Lord of Gods is insanely high... one of the Black Dragon Elders said.

Who is Duan Ling Tian exactly? Why would someone spend so much to hire death warriors just to kill him? another Black Dragon Elder said suspiciously.

Thats right. Moreover, they werent ordinary death warriors. Even an ordinary advanced Lord of Gods might not have enough to hire two intermediate Lords of Gods who are death warriors, the first Black Dragon Elder said. He paused before he said with a wry smile, Honestly, even if I used all my savings, I could only hire one intermediate Lord of Gods...

Could the culprit be an Emperor of Gods? someone speculated out loud.

Impossible, Long Qing Chong said, Why would an Emperor of Gods need to hire death warriors to kill Duan Ling Tian? He could simply enter our sect to kill Duan Ling Tian. Our Guarding Formation wouldnt be able to stop an Emperor of Gods for long. Even if he didnt enter our sect and we refused to hand Duan Ling Tian over, he could force our hand by killing everyone who tried to leave the sect.

Most of the elders agreed with Long Qing Chongs words.

If the culprit isnt an Emperor of Gods, then hes likely an advanced Lord of Gods. Perhaps, the culprit isnt just one person. It could be a lord-rank force.

We should investigate those who have grudges against Duan Ling Tian first.

We have to investigate this matter seriously.

News of this has spread throughout the sect, and it makes the younger disciples uneasy. They know if they were in Duan Ling Tians shoes, they would surely die. Theyre questioning the sect.

This is why we need to investigate this matter, and show the disciples that the sect wont let this matter slide.

All the high-ranking officials in the Flying Dragon Sect were furious. This included Xue Ming Zhi, the Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect. He acted as though he could not wait to get his hands on the culprit during the meeting.

After the meeting ended, Xue Ming Zhi remained calm as he returned to his cultivation ground. He even smiled at those who greeted him during his journey back. However, as soon as arrived at his cultivation ground and activated the Noise-Cancelling Formation, his expression turned unsightly immediately.

Damn it! Those two intermediate Lords of Gods were trash! They cant even deal with a rudimentary Lord of Gods! To think I spent half of my life savings on them!

Xue Ming Zhi looked like a madman at this time. His eyes were bloodshot, his face was ashen, and his body was trembling. It took him about 15 minutes before he calmed down.

After that, he sent a message to his daughter.

My dear daughter, come and see me alone. Dont bring Zhong Can.

Father, I heard the plan failed? Ill come over at once.

It did not take long for his daughter to arrive.

Xue Ming Zhi sighed. It seems like youve heard about those two death warriors. Dont ever speak about this matter from today onward. Dont mention it to Zhong Can. The Sect Leader and the Golden Dragon Elders are furious, and theyre adamant about getting to the bottom of this matter despite the ongoing Imperial War. You should know how important this matter is. Although Im the vice sect leader, they wont let me go if they find out that Im the culprit. Death is the least of my concern since Ive lived for tens of thousands of years. As a father, youre my only concern.

Father, rest assured. Ill carry this secret to my grave, his daughter said.

Its a relief to hear you say that, Xue Ming Zhi said with a nod.

Father, what are you going to do next? Will they investigate you? his daughter asked.

Dont worry. I already have a plan. However, you have to mentally prepare yourself. Ive decided to push the blame to the 10,000 Devils Sect, Xue Ming Zhi said.

The 10,000 Devils Sect?

Thats right. The enmity between the 10,000 Devils Sect and Duan Ling Tian is very deep. There was also that matter with Kuang Tian Zheng. They have enough reasons to hire death warriors to kill Duan Ling Tian. Its not convincing to blame the two White Dragon Elders from the 10,000 Devils faction in the sect since they cant afford to hire death warriors of such caliber. The 10,000 Devils Sect, on the other hand, is a wealthy lord-rank force. They can easily afford to hire two death warriors who are intermediate Lords of Gods.

Father, I dont care about the life or death of the 10,000 Devils Sect, but Brother Zhong Can...

Rest assured. Ill do my best to protect Zhong Can.

Thank you, father!

At this time, Duan Ling Tian, accompanied by Ding Yan, went to see Long Qing Chong.

Greetings, Sect Leader, Ding Yan said with a bow.

Long Qing Chong nodded and said with a forced smile on his face, I last met you at Revered Elder Sikongs cultivation ground. In such a short time, youve achieved so much...

Ding Yan instinctively looked at Duan Ling Tian before he said wryly, Sect Leader, youre overpraising me. Compared to Duan Ling Tian, Im nothing.

Ding Yans Uncle Sikong had a good relationship with Long Qing Chong, and the duo would often play chess and chat. Hence, Ding Yan had met Long Qing Chong a few times even before he went to Skywind Citys Hidden Fog Academy. Recently, Long Qing Chong did not visit as frequently because he was busy.

Long Qing Chong shook his head and said in a light-hearted manner, You cant compare yourself to Duan Ling Tian. Even the prodigies from the previous generations, including myself, couldnt compare to him. A rudimentary Lord of Gods whos not even 3,000 years with strength comparable to a White Dragon Elder... This is unprecedented in the Flying Dragon Sect.

The corners of Long Qing Chongs lips twitched nearing the end of his words.

Duan Ling Tian was slightly stunned. He did not expect that the normally serious Long Qing Chong would have such a light-hearted side.

When Long Qing Chong turned to look at Duan Ling Tian, his expression turned solemn again as he asked, Duan Ling Tian, do you have any helpful information regarding the two death warriors that were hired to kill you?

Duan Ling Tians eyes flashed as he asked, Sect Leader, are you asking me if I have an idea of who might be behind this?

Long Qing Chong nodded.

As a matter of fact, I do have someone in mind, Duan Ling Tian said without hesitation.

Who is it? Long Qing Chongs eyes glinted coldly as soon as he heard Duan Ling Tians reply.

Duan Ling Tian met Long Qing Chongs gaze as he said, Its either the 10,000 Devils Sect or Vice Sect Leader Xue.

There was only one vice sect leader with the surname Xue in the Flying Dragon Sect.

Long Qing Chongs eyes narrowed immediately.

Duan Ling Tian continued to say, There are many people who want me dead. However, only the 10,000 Devils Sect and Vice Sect Leader Xue have the capability to hire two death warriors who are intermediate Lords of Gods to kill me in the sect. Naturally, these are just my speculations. Itd be difficult for us to search for clues now that the death warriors are dead, Duan Ling Tian said truthfully.

The 10,000 Devils Sect and Xue Ming Zhi were as easy to deal with as an ant to Long Qing Zhong. With just a command, he could easily get rid of them. Apart from his narrowed eyes, his expression remained the same. He nodded and said, Alright, I understand.
