Chapter 2540 - The Powerhouse Who Walked Out Of The Void Crack
2540 The Powerhouse Who Walked Out Of The Void Crack
The patriarch of the Barker family promised solemnly, “Although it’s quite difficult, the Barker family will do our best!” It was indeed a difficult request. However, the Barker family had no choice but to accept this unless they had a death wish.
“That will do,” Duan Ling Tian nodded his head lightly. Then, he turned to Long Zhen Guo and said, “Instructor Long, you and your men will stay here to discuss the details with them. After you’re done, they’ll send you back to earth. With the speed of their Transcendent-level Battleships, it would only take a few days at most before you arrive on earth.”
The mouths of the members of the Barker family twitched when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. Based on Duan Ling Tian’s words, he wanted them to use their Transcendent-level Battleships as a transportation vehicle?
Long Zhen Guo suddenly rose to his feet and solemnly saluted Duan Ling Tian. “Ling Tian, thank you for all the things you do for Hua!”
Long Zhen Guo’s ten subordinates followed suit. Their eyes were filled with respect and admiration when they looked at Duan Ling Tian. They had been amazed when Duan Ling Tian brought them out of earth and into outer space without relying on any equipment, but who knew that was just a small fraction of his powers? He was even more amazing than they had thought. The Transcendent-level Battleships, the strongest weapons the Barker family owned, were like toys before him. The Barker family was one of the ten leading families in the Milky Way. This meant that with Duan Ling Tian’s strength, he could easily rule the Milky Way if he wanted to.
“Instructor Long, I’m also a citizen of Hua.” Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly at Long Zhen Guo. Then, he beckoned Tang Xiao Xiao over and left with her. They left the Barker Family and Planet Lissa.
…
“With your strength, you can force the ten leading families in the Milky Way to submit to Hua. Why take the long way and only insist the Barker family helps Hua to become one of the top forces in the Milky Way?” Tang Xiao Xiao could not help but ask after they had left Planet Lissa. With Duan Ling Tian’s strength, it was a piece of cake for him to turn Hua into the only leading force in the Milky Way.
Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “It’s easy to help Hua become the leading force in the Milky Way. However, what happens next? Humans are greedy in nature. If Hua becomes the only leading force in the Milky Way, they’ll definitely try to conquer other galaxies. After all, the Milky Way isn’t rich in resources. I can force the entire Milky Way to submit to Hua, but can I force the other galaxies in Yan Huang Realm to do the same? Even if I can, I don’t have time for it.” He paused for a moment before he continued to say, “Therefore, this is the best choice. This way, I can help Hua to become strong, and at the same time, the other forces will serve as a check and balance to Hua. After all, the strength of the other 10 families in the Milky Way wouldn’t be inferior to Hua at that time. Under such conditions, Hua can build a strong foundation and develop gradually… Don’t you think that it’s the best choice?”
“You’re really far-sighted,” Tang Xiao Xiao exclaimed. After a while, she seemed to have thought of something before she asked, “Won’t this upset Instructor Long? After all, he’s aware you’re more than capable of conquering the entire Milky Way. Like you said, humans are greedy in nature.”
Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “No. I know Instructor Long pretty well. He’s a person who’s content with what he has. Moreover, I believe he understands my decision.”
“Do you mean he knows what you’re thinking?” Tang Xiao Xiao was rather surprised.
“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian nodded his head.
…
Indeed. Duan Ling Tian was right.
After they left, Long Zhen Guo and his ten warriors were arranged to stay in luxurious guest rooms by Leylin, the patriarch of the Barker family. However, they did not rest. Everyone had gathered in Long Zhen Guo’s room instead.
As they marveled over Duan Ling Tian’s god-like strength, one of them looked at Long Zhen Guo and asked, “Director, with Bloodwolf’s current strength, it isn’t difficult if he wants to help us rise in ranks in the Milky Way. Why didn’t he directly do so?”
Everyone shifted their attention to Long Zhen Guo as soon as they heard his question.
Long Zhen Guo snorted. “Our country has a proverb. ‘Being content leads to happiness’. What that punk has done for us is a great boon to the country! We have no right to ask any more of him!”
“Yes.” Long Zhen Guo’s ten subordinates nodded in agreement.
“Moreover, he has planned for the long term by doing this.” Long Zhen Guo’s words, indeed, showed that he understood Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts.
…
“What’s the restrictions that you put on the high-ranking members of the Barker family?” Tang Xiao Xiao asked after they left the stellar galaxy where Planet Lissa was located. She had not heard of the restrictions that Duan Ling Tian had used earlier.
“There are no restrictions at all. It’s just a bluff,” Duan Ling Tian said with a faint smile. In fact, he knew nothing about restrictions.
“A-aren’t you afraid that they’ll discover you’re only calling their bluffs? Once they find out, they certainly won’t help you to improve the technology in Hua.” Tang Xiao Xiao was rather speechless at Duan Ling Tian’s answer.
“Do you think they’ll be able to discover it? Do you think they’ll take the risk?” Duan Ling Tian asked confidently.
Tang Xiao Xiao fell silent. She imagined herself in the Barker Family’s shoes. If she were those people, she definitely would not discover the truth since she did not dare to take the risk and gamble on her own life. After a while, she asked, “Where are we going now?”
“I plan to stay on earth for a few days before returning to the Saint Province Realm to attend to some matters. If I have time, I’ll return and visit the Yellow Thearch Mansion.” Duan Ling Tian replied. He did not forget the invitation from Xuan Yuan Zhi, a Nine Tribulation Bodiless Celestial from the Yellow Thearch Mansion. Naturally, he did not forget his best friend, Su Li, would be in the Yellow Thearch Mansion as well after leaving the Beyond Heaven Secret Zone. Su Li was his only friend left in the mundane realm since his family and friends had been abducted. He wanted to see Su Li again before he had to ascend to a Devata Realm.
“Since I have nowhere to go, I’ll follow you to the Saint Province Realm for now,” Tang Xiao Xiao said.
“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded his head.
When Duan Ling Tian and Tang Xiao Xiao were halfway back to the solar system where earth was located…
Rrrrpp!
A clear ripping sound suddenly rang in the air, causing Duan Ling Tian and Tang Xiao Xiao to come to a halt immediately. They saw a tear in the void that seemed to have appeared out of thin air. The tear in the void was as wide as a door.
“So you’re Duan Ling Tian?” An icy-cold voice rang from the void tear that was as big as a door. Soon after, a thin figure slowly emerged out of the void under Duan Ling Tian and Tang Xiao Xiao’s startled gazes.
The newcomer was a thin middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. One would find it difficult to identify him in a sea of crowd. However, his eyes made chills run up Duan Ling Tian’s spine.
“Who… Who’re you?” Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grave immediately when he heard the thin middle-aged man calling out to him after appearing in such a strange manner. He had probed the space and discovered there were no pseudo realms here. Therefore, he concluded the thin middle-aged man had forcibly torn a hole in the void and crossed over from a non-pseudo realm. He felt his heart skip a beat as he thought to himself, ‘Even a Great Overarching Golden Celestial might not be capable of this!’
“You’re about to die anyway so there’s no harm telling you… Young Master Qing Yan sent me here to kill you,” the thin middle-aged man said indifferently as he stared at Duan Ling Tian as though Duan Ling Tian was a dead man walking.
