War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3239: A Deal With The Ning Dragons

Duan Ling Tian’s words shattered the hopes of the young prodigies from the other grade-one forces. There was nothing they could do since Duan Ling Tian had the right to choose which force to join. Moreover, even if they wanted to, it was impossible for them to force Duan Ling Tian to join them. After all, if Duan Ling Tian was so weak that they could force him to join their respective forces, they would not even bother to invite him to join them in the first place. The only reason they had set aside their pride to invite him to join them was due to his high innate talent and strength.

At this moment, Gongsun Jin from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect’s Yellow Thearch Progeny asked curiously, “Su Li, you said both of you met in the mundane realms and became best friends… Does this mean you’re both about the same age?”

“That’s right.” Su Li nodded. “We’re about the same age. To be precise, he’s actually slightly younger than I am.”

As soon as Su Li finished speaking, the entire place was as silent as a graveyard.

Yu Tian Xing felt the corners of his lips twitch when he heard Su Li’s words. He did not expect that after a monstrous talent like Su Li entered the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, another person who was even more talented than Su Li would join the sect.

Meanwhile, the prodigies from the other grade-one forces who had invited Duan Ling Tian to join their respective forces were filled with envy as they looked at the members of the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect.

After things settled down, Su Li asked Gongsun Jin, “What’s going on here?”

“I’m not sure. I just arrived not too long ago,” Gongsun Jin replied.

Upon hearing these words, everyone shifted their attention back to the door guarded by the two Ning Dragons.

“Ning Dragons!” Feng Qi Qi exclaimed as her expression changed drastically. It seemed like she had just noticed the Ning Dragons. As the most outstanding prodigy of the Ancient Phoenix Clan, she naturally recognized the Ning Dragons.

Baili Hong Fei said, “Previously, a grassroots prodigy who was fairly strong tried to enter but was killed by one of the Ning Dragons.”

Feng Qi Qi said in a lowered voice. “Although these two Ning Dragons are young, their strength is comparable to an ordinary Celestial Emperor…”

Upon hearing these words, the expression of a group of people, including Duan Ling Tian, turned slightly grim.

A young prodigy from the Profound Sky Dao Sect asked curiously, “Is it possible to bypass the Ning Dragons and enter using the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity?” He had comprehended the law of space’s Teleportation Profundity to the initial stage. This meant he could teleport 10,000 meters away at a time.

“You can try,” Feng Qi Qi said indifferently. A hint of contempt flashed in her eyes.

The Profound Sky Dao Sect’s prodigy frowned slightly upon hearing her words. In the end, he decided to give it a try. He vanished into thin air in just an instant, but when he reappeared, he did not appear behind the door. Instead, he was above the Ning Dragons!

As soon as the Profound Sky Dao Sect’s prodigy appeared above the Ning Dragons, one of the Ning Dragons opened its mouth and attacked.

“No!” The prodigy’s expression changed drastically. He tried to teleport away, but he discovered a mysterious energy in his surroundings that prevented him from using the Teleportation Profundity.

Boom!

A beam of light shot out of the Ning Dragon’s mouth and killed the Profound Sky Dao Sect’s prodigy immediately. His purely defensive Celestial Weapon was reduced to ashes and only his Spatial Ring remained.

At this moment, Ye Wu Dao, the most outstanding prodigy from the Profound Sky Dao Sect, said through gritted teeth, “Feng Qi Qi! You knew this was going to happen, didn’t you?” He glared at Feng Qi Qi, furious that his junior brother had died in vain.

Feng Qi Qi replied indifferently, “The Ning Dragons are gifted in the law of space… The Teleportation Profundity doesn’t work on them. Moreover, if one is in the range of their territory, they could manipulate space and prevent one from teleporting away.” Although she did not directly answer Ye Wu Dao’s question, her reply proved that she knew the prodigy from the Profound Sky Dao Sect would have such an outcome.

“You!” Ye Wu Dao said angrily, “Why didn’t you say anything earlier? Why did you intentionally egg him on?”

“I needed him to confirm that the two Ning Dragons truly have the strength of a Celestial Emperor… After all, only Ning Dragons with the strength of a Celestial Emperor are capable of manipulating space,” Feng Qi Qi said callously as she shrugged, “With his death, I’ve confirmed these two Ning Dragons truly have strength comparable to a Celestial Emperor.”

Many people felt chills running up their spines when they heard Feng Qi Qi’s callous words. Just to test the Ning Dragons’ strength, she had no qualms about tricking the Profound Sky Dao Sect’s prodigy and sending him to his death.

“Feng Qi Qi, I won’t forget this!” Ye Wu Dao glared at Feng Qi Qi. He did not make a move now because he knew he was no match for Feng Qi Qi. He glanced at the few people standing behind her as he continued to say, “You prodigies of the Ancient Phoenix Clan should be careful when you leave the clan.” Although he was smiling when he spoke, he looked rather terrifying at this moment.

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the people from the Ancient Phoenix Clan changed drastically.

However, Feng Qi Qi said with a sneer, “Ye Wu Dao, by all means, go ahead if you want to be expelled from the Profound Sky Dao Sect and hunted down by the Ancient Phoenix Clan.”

Ye Wu Dao’s expression turned grim. He knew the people from the Ancient Phoenix Clan could act so arrogantly because the Profound Sky Dao Sect was no match for it even if they were both grade-one forces. If the Ancient Phoenix Clan truly demanded his expulsion from the sect, he knew the Profound Sky Dao Sect could only acquiesce to the Ancient Phoenix Clan’s demand.

Meanwhile, the other young prodigies looked at the two Ning Dragons guarding the door as they shook their heads and sighed.

“It seems like we have no choice but to wait a month to enter God’s Secret Treasure.”

Even Duan Ling Tian felt the only choice was to wait. Although he was strong, he knew he was no match for the two Ning Dragons.

“It seems like we can only wait.” Duan Ling Tian and Su Li exchanged a look and could see they shared the same thoughts. In the end, he, Huan’er, and Su Li walked to the side, away from the others.

Duan Ling Tian said with a smile, “Su Li, since all we can do is wait now, why don’t you tell me everything that has happened to you after we were separated?”

However, when Su Li was about to recount his experience, Huan’er looked at Duan Ling Tian and sent him and Su Li a Voice Transmission. “Brother Ling Tian… I managed to communicate with the two Ning Dragons through Voice Transmission. They allow me to enter, but I can only bring three people with me.”

Duan Ling Tian and Su Li were shocked by Huan’er’s words.

“Huan’er, is this… is this true?”

Huan’er nodded.

“Why are they willing to let you enter?” Duan Ling Tian asked in confusion.

“I made a deal with them. If they let us enter, I’ll help them leave the Genius Secret Realm,” Huan’er replied as a hint of pity flashed in her eyes, “It’s really sad. They were caught and brought here a long time ago. Moreover, their growth was also restricted by the person who captured them.”

“Help them leave this place?” Duan Ling Tian was startled. “Huan’er, are you capable of doing that?”

“Brother Ling Tian, it’s not a problem for me to do that,” Huan’er replied with a smile, “I’ll use my illusory techniques to hide their absence and let them enter my Little World before I bring them away from this place. Alas, they’re only willing to let me bring three people with me to enter God’s Secret Treasure.”

“Let them enter your Little World?” Duan Ling Tian frowned and objected immediately. “No! That’s too dangerous. Let them enter my Little World instead.”

Although it was almost impossible to destroy one’s Little World, if a person was powerful enough, they could wreak havoc in a Little World, causing great injuries to the owner of the Little World. Therefore, Duan Ling Tian did not want Huan’er to take such a risk.

“Brother Ling Tian, don’t worry. They won’t harm me. Moreover, they won’t be willing to enter your Little World since they don’t trust humans,” Huan’er said.

After listening to Huan’er’s words, Duan Ling Tian was less worried. He asked, “Did you take the initiative to make a deal with them or did they approach you first?”

“They approached me first… They can tell I’m a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox. In fact, our ancestors had a good relationship in the past. I know this from my inherited memories,” Huan’er explained.

Duan Ling Tian was relieved after listening to Huan’er’s explanation. After all, Huan’er’s inherited memories could not lie. Then, he asked, “Since you’re allowed to bring three people, counting Su Li and me, you can bring another person with you as well, right?”

“Yes.” Huan’er nodded. “Brother Ling Tian, I’ll leave it up to you to decide who to bring with us since I don’t know these people. It’s fine if you don’t want to bring anyone with us as well.”

Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Su Li and asked, “Su Li, who should we bring with us?”

“We should bring someone from the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect… However, the question is who we should bring with us… I only know the Yellow Thearch Progeny’s Gongsun Jin. I’m not very familiar with the others. After all, the Yellow Thearch Progeny has a close relationship with the Shadow Support Progeny. Gongsun Jing’s grandfather is the Leader of the Yellow Thearch Progeny. He’s so strong that I suspect him to be one of the Celestial Emperors in the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect who has strength comparable to titled Celestial Emperors,” Su Li said, “If you bring Gongsun Jin with us, his grandfather will definitely feel indebted to you. Since you decided to join the Thousand Tribulations Sword Sect, this will only benefit you. Naturally, this is just my suggestion. You should do as you see fit…”

“If that’s the case, let’s bring him with us,” Duan Ling Tian said after listening to Su Li’s analysis, “Call him here so we can leave. However, don’t tell him the reason we’re able to enter. I don’t want him to know anything”

“I understand.”

After Gongsun Jing heard Su Li’s Voice Transmission, his eyes lit up immediately. He could barely conceal his delight as he asked, “Su, Li, are you serious?”

“You can choose not to believe me… We’re going in now.” After saying these words, Su Li followed Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er who were walking toward the door of God’s Secret Treasure that was guarded by the two Ning Dragons.
