Chapter 1844: The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far from the Tree

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Currently, Duan Ling Tian had hidden his true appearance and was wearing Ling Tian’s disguise to see Zhao Deng.

“Impossible?” Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently when he heard Zhao Deng’s words, “Do you think it’s impossible I’m Duan Ling Tian just because you can’t detect any signs of disguise on my face?”

Before Zhao Deng had time to reply, he saw the muscles on Ling Tian’s face began to shift. Soon after, a brand new face appeared in front of him!

If he had not seen this with his own eyes, he would not have believed there was such a marvelous disguising tactic in this world. Duan Ling Tian had obviously disguised his appearance, but his Divine Consciousness could not detect any signs of disguise at all.

“Y-You’re Duan Ling Tian!” Zhao Deng was momentarily stunned. When he regained his senses, he began to study Duan Ling Tian’s face and discovered it was identical to the portrait he had seen a few years ago. The person in the portrait was, naturally, none other than Duan Ling Tian who had the Devilseal Tablet in his possession!

“That’s right! I’m Duan Ling Tian. Now, do you believe I’m the one who killed your son, Vice Mansion Master Zhao?” Duan Ling Tian asked mockingly.

Zhao Deng’s expression turned grave. As soon as he saw Ling Tian reverting to his original appearance, he had already realized everything Duan Ling Tian said was true.

His son was indeed killed by Duan Ling Tian! To be more accurate, he was killed by the Devilseal Tablet in his possession!

He still remembered the cause of his son’s death was due to his soul being destroyed. There were no signs of outer injuries at all.

The way the Devilseal Tablet killed a Devil Cultivator was indeed by destroying a Devil Cultivator’s soul!

He had no more questions left. He had finally found his son’s killer!

“Ling Tian… Wait a minute, I should call you Duan Ling Tian instead!” Zhao Deng looked at Duan Ling Tian. Apart from hatred, there were also hints of greed toward the Devilseal Tablet in his eyes. “Thank you for telling me that it was you who killed my son. Since that’s the case, I’ll grant you a quick and painless death!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his energy surged out of his body instantly. He charged toward Duan Ling Tian without any hesitation.

At this moment, only one thought was left in Zhao Deng’s mind. He had to kill Duan Ling Tian to avenge his son and snatch the Devilseal Tablet!

The Devilseal Tablet was one of the ten Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking. Everyone coveted it. It was only natural that Zhao Deng would covet it as well.

Currently, he had completely forgotten that he was in the Azure Cloud Mansion! He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would be so bold as to reveal his true appearance and even admit to killing his son. Zhao Deng, at this moment, had completely lost himself in his desire for revenge and greed.

“How dare you!” Just as Zhao Deng’s face moved slightly and he was charging forward, a thunderous voice sounded in the Main Hall. It sounded so loud it felt as though it could shatter one’s eardrums.

One could tell the voice belonged to an elderly person.

Whoosh!

At the same time, a ghost-like figure appeared, blocking Zhao Deng’s path.

Bang!

It did not seem like the ghost-like figure made a move, but Zhao Deng who was fiercely charging out like a gust of wind was sent flying before he crashed on the ground upside down.

Barf!

Zhao Deng felt dizzy as soon as he landed, and he immediately opened his mouth and threw up a mouthful of blood. He struggled to get up, but it was futile. He was too heavily injured that he could not stand at all.

When Zhao Deng opened his eyes and looked forward, he saw an elderly figure standing in front of Duan Ling Tian, shielding him.

“Rong Yuan!” Horror dawned on Zhao Deng’s face when he saw the old man shielding Duan Ling Tian.

Rong Yuan was the right-hand of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. He shared the same fame as Ku Mi. He was so powerful that he was only inferior to the Mansion Master of their Mystical Sky Mansion! He was far more powerful than the two great Guardians in their Mystical Sky Mansion!

“Young Mansion Master!” However, Zhao Deng’s eyes widened in confusion when he saw Rong Yuan turned around and respectfully bowed at Duan Ling Tian.

Young Mansion Master?

Only the son of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion could be addressed as Young Mansion Master by Rong Yuan, right?

However, he had never heard about the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion having a son at all!

Moreover, Duan Ling Tian was his son’s killer!

“Duan Ling Tian… Duan Ru Feng… Both of them have the same surname…” Zhao Deng muttered to himself when he regained his senses. His heart instantly sank. “Don’t tell me Duan Ling Tian is the son of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ru Feng? Wait a minute! If he’s the son of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, why would he disguise himself as Ling Tian and join the Mystical Sky Mansion? Could it be because of the Saint Martial Secret Zone?”

Zhao Deng was still baffled even after mulling over it for a long time. Not even in his wildest dreams did he think the person that Zhao Clan was so eager to kill, whom they thought was a nobody, would turn out to be the son of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion!

“Elder Rong.” Duan Ling Tian smiled in response to Rong Yuan’s now. He did not dare to act discourteously toward this old man who had been by his cheapskate father’s side for so many years.

As for the misunderstanding previously, he knew he had misunderstood the elder after his father gave him an explanation.

Rong Yuan had indeed passed the exquisite jade box to his father, but it was his father who had asked Rong Yuan to tell the Black Armored Guard who came to report that Duan Ling Tian was a liar. The reason for his father’s action was to test his strength!

Since the misunderstanding was resolved, there was no grudge between him and Rong Yuan!

“Young Mansion Master, how should I deal with this man?” Rong Yuan was extremely humble in front of Duan Ling Tian. It was as though he regarded Duan Ling Tian like he regarded the Mansion Master, Duan Ru Feng. He was loyal to the Mansion Master, it was only natural for him to treat the son of the Mansion Master the same way!

“Restrain him for now. I’ll deal with him after this,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“Yes.” Rong Yuan nodded his head respectfully. He, then, turned around. With just a raise of his hand, he restrained Zhao Deng who was trying to escape up.

The energy of an Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse that had been transformed into an invisible energy surged into Zhao Deng’s body, completely suppressing his energy. Zhao Deng instantly collapsed to the ground. His face was pale. He was turned into an ordinary person immediately.

Duan Ling Tian strode forward and stood in front of Zhao Deng. He looked at Zhao Deng who was lying on the ground and clicked his tongue as he asked, “Are you okay, Vice Mansion Master Zhao?”

Zhao Deng who was lying on the ground had many expressions fleeting across his face.

The greed and hatred in his eyes had vanished and were replaced by panic and despair!

His son’s death and the Devilseal Tablet had all been thrown to the back of his mind at this moment. The most important thing now was his life. Only if he managed to stay alive would he be able to think about the others. If he had died, there was nothing he could do anymore.

“Young Mansion Master!” At this moment, a respectful voice sounded in the air. A scene that Duan Ling Tian did not expect unfolded before his eyes.

Zhao Deng, whose energy had been completely suppressed by Rong Yuan and was no different from an ordinary person, knelt in front of him after he struggled to get up.

“Young Mansion Master, I didn’t know about your background previously. Please forgive me for my offense! I guarantee I’ll never offend you again, Young Mansion Master! If you don’t believe me, I’m willing to swear on the lightning penalty oath!” Zhao Deng had already thrown his pride and honor as the Vice Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion away at this moment.

There was only one thought left in his mind, and it was to live! He must find a way to live!

He had not lived enough yet, and he did not want to die!

“As expected from both father and son, the apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree. Zhao Deng, the way you’re begging for mercy now is similar to your son before he died. He begged in this manner as well.” If Zhao Deng had shown some integrity, perhaps, Duan Ling Tian might have respected him a little.

However, the way Zhao Deng was groveling now made him feel disgusted.

Although Zhao Deng heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he did not dare to reveal the anger he felt in his heart. On the surface, he looked extremely humble.

“Young Mansion Master, I’m willing to swear on the lightning penalty oath to become your dog if you’re willing to forgive me. From today onward, I’ll bite if you ask me to bite without any questions asked!” Zhao Deng’s demeaning words made Duan Ling Tian frowned.

Was this really the Vice Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion?

Gu Li who was standing by the side quietly before this looked at Zhao Deng and rebuked him, “Zhao Deng, you’re really unworthy of becoming the Vice Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion! You’re an embarrassment to our Mystical Sky Mansion!”

However, Zhao Deng did not seem to hear any of Gu Li’s words at all. He was only staring at Duan Ling Tian pitifully as he begged for mercy.

At this moment, he only desired to live. As for other matters, he no longer cared about it!

Even Rong Yuan had a frown on his face. It was apparent that Zhao Deng’s cowardice and him stubbornly clinging to life made him feel disgusted as well.

“Young Mansion Master, please I beg you! Please forgive me this time!” Zhao Deng continued to beg for mercy!

“Elder Rong, I no longer want him in my sight.” A glint of hatred flashed across the depth of Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. He did not want to see this kind of Zhao Deng at all. “You’re the Vice Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion no matter what. To think you’ll stoop so low when faced with death! I’m really speechless!”

“Noooo!” Zhao Deng’s eyes widened in horror when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He continued to struggle on the ground. Since his energy had been completely suppressed, he was like a pig waiting to be slaughtered!

Rong Yuan retreat from the Central Main Hall after killing Zhao Deng.

“Senior Uncle.” Tong Zhong, the Black Armored Army’s Centurion who was standing outside the Central Main Hall since earlier, bowed at Rong Yuan when he saw him coming out.

Tong Zhong’s master was Ku Mi who shared the same fame with Rong Yuan in the Azure Cloud Mansion!

Although Rong Yuan and Ku Mi did not share the same master, both of them had been good friends for many years and regarded each other as blood brothers.

For this reason, Rong Yuan’s disciples would usually address Ku Mi as Junior Uncle while Ku Mi’s disciples would address Rong Yuan as Senior Uncle since Rong Yuan was much older than Ku Mi in terms of age.

After Rong Yuan retreated, only Duan Ling Tian and Gu Li were left in the Main Hall. Both of them looked at each other and smiled wryly.

“Senior Brother Gu Li.” In the end, Duan Ling Tian was the first one to break the silence. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to go to the Upper Province so soon. I’ll most likely have to wait for a year before I can head to the Upper Province!”

Duan Ling Tian wanted to go to the dragon clan’s lair and fulfill the five-year pact after ten months’ time.
