War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2042: Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, Dong Yuan Jin!

Although Gan Ru Yan’s master hated Wen Yan, it was not convenient for him to act against Wen Yan. After all, her master was one of the three great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect. If he had acted against a Fire Worship Sect’s disciple, he would only be a laughingstock if word of it got out. In fact, the Fire Worship Sect might also become a laughingstock in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land if he had done so.

“Duan Ling Tian, I can only help you this much…” Gan Ru Yan muttered to herself after Meng Qi left with the voice transmission jade token.

While Meng Qi left the Prison Hall with the voice transmission jade token given to him by Gan Ru Yan and prepared to leave the Enforcement Hall, Duan Ling Tian had finally arrived at the Main Hall of the Enforcement Hall. He went to see Liu Yun immediately when he arrived. He remembered what he had promised Liu Yu!

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, did you manage to see the Saint Girl and her daughter?” Liu Yun could not help but ask when he saw Duan Ling Tian.

“No.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head with a bitter smile. “They’re not imprisoned together with Gan Ru Yan so I only saw Gan Ru Yan.”

“What a pity.” Liu Yun sighed and comforted Duan Ling Tian when he heard his words. “Junior Brother Ling Tian, I’ll go back and look for my great-great-great-great grandfather… I’ll see if there’s anything I can do to help you meet the Saint Girl and her daughter.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Liu Yun.” Although Duan Ling Tian knew Liu Yun would not be able to help him in this matter, he still thanked him. After all, he knew Liu Yun had good intentions. Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed before he finally gritted his teeth and called out, “Senior Brother Liu Yun!” It was as though he had made up his mind.

“Hm?” Liu Yun was confused when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s solemn expression. He asked, “Junior Brother Ling Tian, is there anything else?”

“Senior Brother Liu Yun, although we’ve not known each other for long, there’s trust between us.”

Liu Yun could not help but laugh when he saw Duan Ling Tian speaking with such a solemn expression. However, he stopped laughing when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s next sentence.

“Senior Brother Liu Yun, from now on, we should stop being friends!”

Liu Yun looked at Duan Ling Tian in disbelief. “Junior Brother Ling Tian… What do you mean? Do you think I’m unworthy of being your friend?” Liu Yun’s tone began to change as he spoke.

“Of course not!” Duan Ling Tian knew Liu Yun had misunderstood him. He smiled bitterly as he said, “Senior Brother Liu Yun, you’ll always be my senior brother in my heart, and you’ll always be my friend… However, you’re not alone. You have your family to consider. Even if you’re alone, I’ll still make the same decision. Although I haven’t been in the Fire Worship Sect for long, I’ve offended quite a number of people… Dong Lin whom I’ve offended recently is the son of one of the Vice Hall Masters of the Enforcement Hall! Although I’m not afraid of him, I don’t want to implicate you and your family.” Duan Ling Tian’s words were sincere.

“Did great grandfather put you up to this?” Liu Yun asked in a low voice. He seemed to have figured out something.

“Senior Brother Liu Yun, if I didn’t want to do it, no one could change my mind. This is my decision. I’ll always keep our friendship and my friendship with Liu Mu in my heart, but I think it’s best if we maintain a distance for now, ” Duan Ling Tian said seriously, “I guarantee that one day, this won’t be an issue. At that time, we can meet up and drink. There won’t be anything for us to worry about at that time!”

Various expressions flitted across Liu Yun’s face as Duan Ling Tian spoke.

“Worst case scenario, I’ll leave my clan!” Liu Yun clenched his teeth and made up his mind to leave the Liu Clan. With this, he no longer had to worry about implicating the Liu Clan.

“Senior Brother Liu Yun, don’t do that!” Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he heard this. A hint of warmth enveloped his heart. He did not expect Liu Yun would decide to leave the Liu Clan for his sake and for his family’s sake.

Duan Ling Tian had to feign anger before Liu Yun reluctantly agreed to listen to Duan Ling Tian and do as he said.

On that day, shocking news spread from the Main Hall of the Enforcement Hall. Duan Ling Tian had a fallout with his good friend, Liu Yun. Not only that, but he had injured Liu Yun as well. After that, an elder from the Liu Clan who was also a Silver Flame Elder in the Enforcement Hall had taught Duan Ling Tian a lesson. From then on, Duan Ling Tian and Liu Yun went their separate ways!

The Fire Worship Sect was in shock.

“Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian and Senior Brother Liu Yun had a fallout?”

“Why? Weren’t they close? Why did they fall out so suddenly?”

Many Saint Land disciples were baffled when they heard the news.

“Brother Yun and Junior Brother Ling Tian… had a fallout?” Liu Mu was deeply affected by the news. He had known Duan Ling Tian longer than his cousin did. He was the one that introduced them after all. Based on his impression of Duan Ling Tian, he knew Duan Ling Tian was not someone who would simply look for trouble. Could it be that his cousin brother was in the wrong?

Liu Mu felt really anxious. He wished he was also at the Enforcement Hall so he could help Duan Ling Tian and Liu Yun reconcile. However, Fire Worship Sect’s elders and disciples were forbidden from entering the Enforcement Hall for personal matters. Therefore, regardless of how much he wanted to see Duan Ling Tian and Liu Yun at the Enforcement Hall, he could not do so. He had to wait a month for Duan Ling Tian and Liu Yun to return from the Enforcement Hall before he could ask them what happened.

…

Inside the Main Hall of the Enforcement Hall.

The Main Hall occupied a vast area. As a Bronze Flame Elder, Dong Lin’s residence was also located inside the Main Hall.

“Duan Ling Tian fell out with Liu Yun?”

Dong Lin was stunned when he heard this news. Then, he sneered. ‘Duan Ling Tian, you’re really a loner… You had one friend, but you even had a fallout with him. It’s a pity Elder Liu Yu didn’t punish you harshly. However, just because he didn’t punish you harshly doesn’t mean I’ll do so as well.’ Dong Ling left his residence soon after he thought about this.

…

On the eastern side of the Enforcement Hall was where the forbidden area of the Enforcement Hall was located. This was where the Hall Master and the few Vice Hall Masters usually cultivated. One could not enter this area without a valid reason. However, Dong Lin was an exception to this. This was because he was the only son of one of the Vice Hall Masters, Dong Yuan Jin. No one said anything even though he frequently went in and out of the place.

In a quiet mountain valley, birds were chirping, and the flowers were in full bloom. One could hear the faint sound of a waterfall as well. There was a mansion on the land near the waterfall. The entire place was very tranquil.

Hu!

The sound of wind whistling heralded Dong Lin’s arrival in front of the mansion.

“Young Master!”

A figure appeared before Dong Lin as soon when he arrived in front of the mansion. The figure belonged to an old man wearing plain clothes. The old man was as skinny as a tree branch.

“Elder Yang,” Dong Lin addressed the old man respectfully despite his simple appearance. The old man was his father’s attendant. However, he knew the old man’s strength was not inferior to his father. He would definitely obtain the position of a Golden Flame Elder if he joined the Fire Worship Sect.

“Young master, are you here to look for master?” The old man asked with a slightly hoarse voice. It sounded as though he was on his last breath.

“Yes.” Dong Lin nodded as a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.

Dong Yuan Jin was one of the Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Masters. He had the appearance of a middle-aged man, and he had a strong build. He looked like an iron tower as he stood in the backyard of the mansion.

“Father!” Dong Lin who was brought to the backyard by Elder Yang bowed respectfully when he saw Dong Yuan Jin

“Hm.” Dong Yuan Jin was quite strict with his son. Although he loved his son deeply, he tried to be strict with him so he would not be spoiled. He was afraid if he doted on his son too much, his son would slack in his cultivation. That was not something he was willing to see.

In this world where only the fittest survived, the strong ones ruled.

Before Dong Yuan Jin entered the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he might die. At that time, he would be unable to protect his son.

“Father. I…” Dong Lin began to speak. However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by Dong Yuan Jin.

“You came today because you want me to order someone to teach Duan Ling Tian a lesson?” Dong Yuan Jin asked indifferently. His eyes seemed capable of seeing through everything.

“Yes.” Dong Lin clenched his teeth and nodded.

“As your father, I hope that you’ll be able to solve this matter on your own… However, I heard that kid, Duan Ling Tian, has many tricks up his sleeve, and you’re simply no match for him.” Based on Dong Yuan Jin’s words, it was obvious he had heard of Duan Ling Tian. It was obvious he did not think Duan Ling Tian posed any threats even though he was strong enough to defeat a powerhouse at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and had strength comparable to a powerhouse at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

After all, Dong Yuan Jin, as the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall in the Fire Worship Sect, was even stronger than most Golden Flame Elders. He already had one foot in the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! Even a powerhouse at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was nothing in his eyes, let alone someone whose strength was comparable to a powerhouse at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
