Chapter 2188 Ke“er and Her Daughter“s Whereabouts
“There’s no enmity between us?” Duan Ling Tian chuckled when he heard Dong Yuan Jin’s words. “You ordered people to kill me and you dare say there’s no enmity between us? Perhaps, you think this conflict started because of your son and you think there’s no enmity between us?”
“Yes.” Dong Lin nodded hastily.
“Dong Yuan Jin, if you’ve bravely accepted your death, perhaps, I might’ve admired you… However…” Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly. He did not finish his sentence before he began to make his move.
Whoosh!
Duan Ling Tian raised his hand as the Sun Saint Origin gathered in his hand. Before long, he waved his hand before he lowered them. A palm formed from his Sun Saint Origin appeared and fell toward Dong Yuan Jin.
When Dong Yuan Jin saw this, the palm was just one foot from him. At the moment the palm landed on him, he cried out, “No!!!”
Bam!
The sound of an explosion rang in the air and Dong Yuan Jin was killed by the palm that Duan Ling Tian consolidated from his Sun Saint Origin.
The entire place was silent.
Although the people watching had expected this outcome, they still felt chills running up their spines when they saw Duan Ling Tian killed Dong Yuan Jin.
No matter what, Dong Yuan Jin was still a Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall. His position was equivalent to a Golden Flame Elder. His son was nothing in comparison. However, someone like Dong Yuan Jin was killed by Duan Ling Tian just like that!
“Duan Ling Tian, I’ll personally look for Lord Sect Leader so he can preside over this matter on behalf of the Enforcement Hall!” The expression of Leng Ying, the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, turned cold when he saw Duan Ling Tian killed Dong Yuan Jin.
If looks could kill, Duan Ling Tian would have died several times over!
“Be my guest.” However, Duan Ling Tian merely shrugged indifferently when he heard Leng Ying’s words. It seemed as though he was not afraid at all that Leng Yin would report this matter to the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect. As a matter of fact, he was really not afraid.
Leng Ying only snorted coldly in response before he rose into the sky and disappeared behind the clouds. It was obvious he was headed to the cultivation place of the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect.
After Leng Ying left, Duan Ling Tian turned to Jiang Qin and said, “Jiang Qin!”
Jiang Qin was startled. His body began to tremble and his face turned pale immediately. He thought this fiend, Duan Ling Tian, was going to kill him since Duan Ling Tian did not find him pleasing to the eyes.
Please let this fiend go easy on me.’ Jiang Qin prayed fervently. He was prepared to be tortured, he only hoped that Duan Ling Tian would spare his life at least.
However, in the next moment, Jiang Qin realized he was wrong. It seemed like Duan Ling Tian had no intention to torture him for being an eyesore.
“I want to see Gan Ru Yan!” Duan Ling Tian said calmly as he looked at Jiang Qin. His tone brooked no argument.
When Jiang Qin heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, his eyes widened immediately, He blurted out, “Gan Ru Yan? Y-You know Gan Ru Yan?”
“She’s my friend,” Duan Ling Tian replied as he stared intently at Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin was stunned. ‘Duan Ling Tian is friends with Gan Ru Yan?’ Suddenly, Jiang Qin had a vague idea of why Duan Ling Tian had attacked him earlier. It was most likely Duan Ling Tian attacked him because he was the one who imprisoned Gan Ru Yan in the Enforcement Hall. He was only carrying his duty, there was no cause for Duan Ling Tian to seek revenge from him.
When Duan Ling Tian saw Jiang Qin had remained silent from the shock, he said impatiently, “Bring me there!”
Duan Ling Tian’s voice startled Jiang Qin. He instantly looked at Duan Ling Tian with a wry smile on his face. “This is a little difficult… She has been brought away from the Enforcement Hall by Lord Sect Leader.”
“She has been brought away by Lord Sect Leader?” Duan Ling Tian frowned as he asked in a deep voice, “What happened?”
After witnessing Duan Ling Tian killing Dong Yuan Jin, Jiang Qin knew Duan Ling Tian could kill him easily if he wanted to. For this reason, he did not hesitate to answer Duan Ling Tian’s question. He hastily said, “I heard it’s the Saint Girl who requested Lord Sect Leader to bring Gan Ru Yan away. I’m not sure why though.”
“Saint Girl?” Duan Ling Tian frowned even deeper, “Which Saint Girl?”
Duan Ling Tian knew the Saint Girl was Ke’er. However, he was a little confused. Was Ke’er not in the Enforcement Hall? Why would she ask for Gan Ru Yan to be sent away? Although his wife, Ke’er, was the Saint Girl of Fire Worship Sect, she was also a criminal in the sect. How was it possible for a criminal to request anything from the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect. Would the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect even pay attention to her request?
“Jiang Qin, watch what you’re saying!” The other Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall who had been watching quietly all this while cried out when he saw Jiang Qin was about to reveal the matter regarding the Saint Girl. His expression turned grave immediately.
After all, very few people in the Fire Worship Sect knew that the Saint Girl had been brought away from the Enforcement Hall by the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect. Although the Sect Leader had never explicitly told them to keep the matter a secret, it was not appropriate to reveal the matter so easily.
Everyone in the Fire Worship Sect was under the impression that the Saint Girl who had disappeared for many years was currently a criminal who was being imprisoned in the Enforcement Hall. She was to wait for her punishment until the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect came out from his closed-door cultivation. Although the Sect Leader of Fire Worship had come out of his closed-door cultivation, he still had not punished the Saint Girl. In fact, he had brought her out of the Enforcement Hall. The reputation of the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect would be affected if news of this spread out. People would think the Sect Leader was abusing his power and disregarding the sect’s law. There was no doubt the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect was above the law in the sect, but it would still be detrimental to his reputation. As one of the great sects and a prominent figure in the Dao Martial Saint Land, reputation was very important.
“I forgot!” Jiang Qin was horrified when he realized what he had done after listening to the other Vice Hall Master’s words. Earlier, he was so afraid of Duan Ling Tian that when he was asked a question, he instinctively answered without any hesitation. He realized how reckless he had acted.
“Saint Girl? Which Saint Girl?” Jiang Qin no longer dared to say anything to Duan Ling Tian.
When Duan Ling Tian saw Jiang Qin seemed unwilling to talk, he snorted. This caused Jiang Qin to tremble slightly. He wanted to use Voice Transmission to explain himself. However, before he could do so, Duan Ling Tian had already disappeared.
When Duan Ling Tian reappeared again, he was standing in front of the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall who had given a reminder to Jiang Qin.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the Vice Hall Master coldly as he said, “Since you won’t allow him to tell me, you’ll be the one to do the talking!” At the same time, a powerful killing intent surged out of his body and shrouded the other person.
This Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall did not think he would bring trouble to himself just by reminding Jiang Qin to not reveal anything.
When the Vice Hall Master heard Duan Ling Tian’s cold voice and felt his killing intent, he gave in immediately. Especially when he thought about the people Duan Ling Tian had killed.
“The Saint Girl is the Saint Girl who had gone missing before this. She’s the one who asked Lord Sect Leader to take Gan Ru Yan away from the Enforcement Hall.” Although the Vice Hall Master had decided to tell Duan Ling Tian everything, he did not do so openly. He used Voice Transmission to speak to Duan Ling Tian.
It’s Ke’er?’ Duan Ling Tian frowned when he heard this. He continued to ask in a deep voice, “Don’t lie to me. As far as I know, the Saint Girl is also locked up in the Enforcement Hall. Now, tell me, did she really ask the sect leader to take Gan Ru Yan away from the Enforcement Hall?”
“I’m not lying to you. I don’t dare to lie to you!” The Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall hurriedly sent another Voice Transmission. “The Saint Girl is no longer in our Enforcement Hall as well.”
After a while, Duan Ling Tian learned about the whereabouts of Ke’er and their daughter from this Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall.
All of them are in the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect’s cultivation place?’
It did not cross Duan Ling Tian’s mind that his wife and their daughter whom he had been longing to see was at the place he was at earlier. He had even stayed at that place for quite a while.
That place was the cultivation place of the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect. It was the highest hovering island above the Saint Island?
Does this mean they heard everything I said earlier to the Sect Leader?’ Duan Ling Tian’s breathing turned heavy. Whoosh!
After Duan Ling Tian found out Ke’er and their daughter were not in the Enforcement Hall, he followed after Leng Ying and made his way to the cultivation place of the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect.
When Duan Ling Tian passed through the clouds and arrived at the cultivation place of the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, he saw Leng Ying reporting loudly to the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect.
“Lord Sect Leader, Duan Ling Tian has trespassed on the Enforcement Hall and killed a Vice Hall Master and an Enforcement Hall elder. His behavior is too outrageous!”
