2209 The Figure He Had Longed To See

All of the high-ranking officials of Fire Worship Sect present on the scene were a threat to Duan Ling Tian even if it was just one Golden Flame Elder. After all, even if he took a medicinal pill that could help him recover some of his Sun Saint Origin Energy, his strength would only be equivalent to that of a Golden Flame Elder now. At this time, even one or two Golden Flame Elders would be a huge hindrance to his plan if they were around when he rescued Ke’er and their daughter.

For this reason, he had to come up with a way to lure them away from the Fire Worship Sect so that they would not hinder his plan. He had come up with the idea of using the Super Saint Weapon, the Dharma Rod, to distract them so they would not return to the Fire Worship Sect so soon.

The Dharma Rod, along with Hao Shuang’s severed arm, had flown to an unknown location earlier. When Hao Shuang ran away, he had run away in a different direction. Duan Ling Tian decided this was a good way to keep these people away from the Fire Worship Sect for the time being.

“The Super Saint Weapon, the Dharma Rod, will belong to whoever finds it?” The high-ranking officials felt their breaths quickened when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Even the four great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect had the same reaction.

The Dharma Rod could be considered as Duan Ling Tian’s spoils of war. Naturally, he could do with it as he saw fit.

Since Duan Ling Tian had announced he was going to give it away, how could the people from the Fire Worship Sect not be tempted?

“Guardian Ling Tian… A-Are you serious?” Leng Ying asked solemnly. His eyes shone so brightly like the stars in the night sky.

“Of course!” Duan Ling Tian smiled as he nodded. “I won’t joke in front of so many people. Are none of you interested? I’ve already begun counting down. If you don’t leave within the allocated time, even if you find the Dharma Rod later, it won’t belong to you.” Duan Ling Tian said to spur them on when he saw that no one made a move to leave despite the eager expression on their faces.

The instant his words left his mouth —

“Let’s go!”

“The Dharma Rod is mine!”

“Hurmph! It’s mine!”

The high-ranking officials from the Fire Worship Sect made their way to the general direction where the Dharma Rod and Hao Shuang’s severed arm had fallen.

Even the four great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect made their moves. In fact, they were in the lead.

Since Zi Feng was the strongest and had the highest cultivation base, it was only natural that his speed was the fastest among everyone present on the scene.

The Super Saint Weapon, the Dharma Rod, would belong to whoever found it…

They must admit that Duan Ling Tian’s ‘gift’ was, indeed, irresistible!

After the people from the Fire Worship Sect left, the sound of retching could be heard.

Duan Ling Tian’s body was trembling violently, and his face turned pale. Then, he threw up a mouthful of blood. He had been holding back for a long time. Now that everyone had left, he no longer needed to hold back.

Now that they have all gone to look for the Dharma Rod, it’s time for me to bring Ke’er and our daughter away from the Fire Worship Sect!’ After consuming a Healing Medicinal Pill and a medicinal pill that helped him to recover some of his Sun Saint Origin, Duan Ling Tian flew toward the Fire Worship Sect’s estate as quickly as he could and made his way to the Saint Land. It was where the cultivation place of the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, where Ke’er and their daughter were imprisoned, was located.

Although Hao Shuang left in a different direction, it’s very likely that he has already found the Dharma Rod since he has ownership claim on it. It would be easy for him to locate it!’ As the owner of a Super Saint Weapon as well, Duan Ling Tian was aware of the link between a Super Saint Weapon and its owner after an ownership claim was established.

Duan Ling Tian was certain Hao Shuang had already found the Dharma Rod and left with it. It was futile even if the people from the Fire Worship looked for the Dharma Rod with all their might.

I find it fascinating how a soul can exist with no restriction even without its physical body once one reaches the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Soul Detaching Form, with the Soul Detaching Technique. How amazing! It’s like having an extra life!’ Duan Ling Tian was filled with amazement when he recalled how Hao Shuang’s soul had escaped from his physical body.

Duan Ling Tian had used up all his strength on the Jasper Celestial Sword to strike at Hao Shuang. For this reason, after killing Hao Shuang’s physical body, he could only watch as Hao Shuang’s soul escaped. He would not have let Hao Shuang go if he had a choice. As the saying went, ‘Weed must be exterminated by the roots or it will grow again in spring.’ He understood this very well.

On the way back, the Sun Saint Origin in Duan Ling Tian’s body gradually recovered, and his speed gradually became faster. It did not take long before he arrived at the White Tiger Sanctum.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian appeared in the air above the White Tiger Sanctum, the patrolling elder instantly saw him. “It’s Guardian Ling Tian!”

Naturally, no one dared to obstruct Duan Ling Tian’s path like they did before. Putting aside Duan Ling Tian’s status that was higher than before and allowed him to go where he pleased, Duan Ling Tian’s strength alone was enough to stop them from approaching him.

Since Guardian Ling Tian has returned, does this mean the people from Black Kshetra Sect have retreated?’ Many elders from White Tiger Sanctum thought to themselves when they saw Duan Ling Tian.

It did not take long before word of Duan Ling Tian’s return spread in the White Tiger Sanctum and created a commotion.

“Guardian Ling Tian is back?”

“Does this mean Black Kshetra Sect has failed to get what they want even though their Supreme Elder had personally come as well?”

“Harumph! Since Lord Sect Leader has broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, there’s no need for him to fear the Supreme Elder of the Black Kshetra Sect!”

The people from White Tiger Sanctum discussed heatedly among themselves.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian rose into the air when he arrived at the Saint Land. He flew up to the floating islands in the

At the highest point, there was only one floating island. Below it, there used to be three floating islands, but there were five now. The two new islands were the cultivation places of the two newly appointed Guardians, Duan Ling Tian and Leng Ying.

A Silver Flame Elder from Fire Worship Sect who was patrolling the area saw some movements and flew over in a menacing manner. However, when he saw the other person was Duan Ling Tian, he retreated immediately. He was shocked when he saw Duan Ling Tian had returned unharmed. “It’s Guardian Ling Tian! He has returned?” He was aware of what had happened today since Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, had spoken with Saint Origin, causing his voice to resound everywhere in the Fire Worship Sect.

“Ke’er!” Soon after, Duan Ling Tian arrived at the floating island located at the very top, it was the only floating island at this level. It looked like an emperor looking down at his subjects. It was the cultivation place of the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect.

“A Formation?” When Duan Ling Tian arrived in the air above the cultivation place of the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, he discovered the presence of a Formation. However, it was easy for him to destroy this Formation with his Sun Saint Origin that had recovered a little and the help of the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword.

Swish!

After Duan Ling Tian took out the Jasper Celestial Sword and imbued a little Sun Saint Origin into it, he slashed down and easily destroyed the Formation that obstructed his path.

Duan Ling Tian flew to the mansion on the floating island and cried out excitedly, “Ke’er!” Although he did not speak loudly, his voice traveled to every corner of the mansion since it contained his Sun Saint Origin.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the mansion.

A beautiful girl was pacing back and forth with a worried expression on her face. She came to a halt, her body trembling, when she heard the voice. She raised her head and looked up at the sky. She saw a purple figure holding a sword as he hovered in the sky. This was the figure she had been longing to see.

The girl became overwhelmed with emotions. Her face flushed as she cried out joyfully, “Young Master!” This person was none other than Ke’er. When she saw that her man was safe, her heart relaxed immediately.

Earlier, when Ke’er learned that the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, a powerhouse who was ranked second on the Supreme Saint Ranking, came to look for trouble with her man, she felt extremely anxious. It felt as though her heart was going to leap out of her chest!

“It’s him? He has returned? The people from Black Kshetra Sect didn’t give him any trouble?” Gan Ru Yan had walked out from a room at the side when she heard the commotion. When she saw the familiar purple figure, surprise could be seen in her autumn eyes.

Naturally, Gan Ru Yan had also heard Lang Qian Jin’s voice earlier. She knew the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect had come with ill intention. She was worried as well.

“Ke’er?” Although Ke’er’s voice was not loud, Duan Ling Tian still heard her since he had unleashed his Divine Consciousness. He instantly found where the voice had come from. He used his Strange Pupil and saw the beautiful figure that he had longed to see.

“Ke’er!” Duan Ling Tian was elated. He quickly descended and made his way to Ke’er. On his way there, he encountered another Formation. With a slash of his sword, he easily destroyed it.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian destroyed the Formation…

“Saint Girl?” Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, who was battling with the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect somewhere far away sensed it immediately. His expression turned grave.
