Chapter 740: Kneeling Down and Begging For Mercy
Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Jay
"Mother, you know Little Tian?" Nie Yuan couldn’t help but be stunned when he saw Meng Ping lose her composure, and then he asked curiously.
Nie Rong looked at Meng Ping as well because he was similarly curious.
"Duan Ling Tian?!" Right at this moment, no matter if it was the group of Flying Rainbow Sect disciples on the Martial Practice Grounds or the two old women that stood in the distance, everyone was stunned.
"My god! So he’s Duan Ling Tian!" Many Flying Rainbow Sect disciples couldn’t help but exclaim with shock.
"He’s Duan Ling Tian? The Duan Ling Tian that became famous for his natural talent that surpassed the five great young masters of our Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom all those years ago? The Duan Ling Tian that advanced in the Genius Competition held by our Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom’s Imperial Family over two years ago?"
"According to my knowledge, Duan Ling Tian seems to be 27 or 28 this year… His strength is actually at the eighth level of the Void Prying Stage or above, it’s truly shocking!"
"Duan Ling Tian is the lover in the dreams of many of our Flying Rainbow Sect sisters… I never imagined that he would appear in our Flying Rainbow Sect."
…
The Martial Practice Grounds of the Flying Rainbow Sect became extremely bustling for a time, and many Flying Rainbow Sect disciples cried out sharply with Duan Ling Tian’s name.
Their feverish gestures caused Duan Ling Tian to be unable to help but feel embarrassed.
Unlike the excitement of the crowd of Flying Rainbow Sect disciples, the azure clothed old woman and blue clothed old woman in the distant sky glanced at each other, and both of them could see terror from each other’s eyes.
"He’s Duan Ling Tian? The Duan Ling Tian that slaughtered all the higher-ups of the Azure Forest Tri-Sect in the Demonic Lotusblade Gorge not long ago?"
"He ought to be… A young man in our Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom that possesses such a strength and is named Duan Ling Tian can only be him."
"Duan Ling Tian’s current strength truly causes one to be unable to help but feel terror! Even the members of the Azure Forest Tri-Sect probably had never imagined even in their dreams that Duan Ling Tian would grow to such a terrifying extent in only a few years."
Instantly, the two old women communicated via voice transmission with each other, and they confirmed Duan Ling Tian’s identity at the same time.
After they confirmed, there was only horror within their hearts.
Perhaps the incident that occurred within the Demonic Lotusblade Gorge not too long ago hadn’t spread all over the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom yet…
But because their Flying Rainbow Sect was extremely close to the Demonic Lotusblade Gorge, and they were the higher-ups of the Flying Rainbow Sect, so they’d heard about the incident that occurred in the Demonic Lotusblade Gorge a few days ago.
The Seven Star Sword Sect’s Duan Ling Tian launched a bloody attack of vengeance on the Demonic Lotusblade Gorge.
The publicly acknowledged number one genius of the former Seven Star Sword Sect, Duan Ling Tian, returned dominatingly and killed all the sixth level Void Initiation Stage experts within the Demonic Lotusblade Gorge on his own.
After that, anyone that was already a member of the Azure Forest Tri-Sect before the Seven Star Sword Sect was annihilated were killed without exception.
When this news had just reached the ears of their Flying Rainbow Sect’s higher-ups, they were slightly unable to believe it, and they’d personally made a trip to the Demonic Lotusblade Gorge because of this.
When they saw the crimson red ground of the northern gorge within the Demonic Lotusblade Gorge and the corpses of all the Azure Forest Tri-Sect higher-ups who they knew lying all over the ground, they realized the rumors weren’t fake.
The Azure Forest Tri-Sect had indeed been annihilated overnight.
Therefore, they’d completely believed the rumor, and at the same time, they feel deep terror that came from the bottom of their hearts towards the person who carried out the deed, Duan Ling Tian.
Of course, never had they imagined that not long after the battle in the Demonic Lotusblade Gorge, the unparalleled god of slaughter, Duan Ling Tian, would actually trespass into their Flying Rainbow Sect without any good intentions.
There was only regret in their hearts when they recalled their confrontation with Duan Ling Tian earlier.
If they knew that the husband and son of the Sect Leader possessed such an intimate relationship with Duan Ling Tian, then even if the Sect Leader was heavily injured and even if they still had objections towards the Sect Leader retaining her position, they wouldn’t have the courage to go against the Sect Leader.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with grief and resentment.
Of course, they mostly resented their Flying Rainbow Sect’s Leader, Meng Ping.
If the members of your family are so intimate with this god of slaughter, Duan Ling Tian, why didn’t you say so earlier? Aren’t you just playing the weakling and clearly digging a hole for us to jump in?
Even if you want to trap us, you don’t have to do it like this!
Whoosh!
Duan Ling Tian noticed the horror that was emitted from the eyes of the two old women when they looked at him, and he realized that they might have heard of the incident that occurred in the Demonic Lotusblade Gorge a while ago.
He knew that the matter he wanted to help Nie Rong and Nie Yuan with today had already been completed.
So long as these two old fellows weren’t stupid, they would absolutely not dare make it difficult for Meng Ping anymore.
Whoosh!
Duan Ling Tian’s figure flashed to arrive by the side of Nie Rong and Nie Yuan in a short moment, and then with a raise of his hand, he withdrew a medicinal pill and placed it in Meng Ping’s hand.
"Grandma Meng, this is a grade four Great Recovery Pill, and it’s sufficient to heal the injuries in your body." Duan Ling Tian smiled as he spoke to Meng Ping.
Even though it was the first time he’d seen Meng Ping today, since Meng Ping was the wife of Nie Rong and the mother of Nie Yuan, they he would naturally give her sufficient respect.
Not for anything else, but because of the help Nie Rong and Nie Yuan gave him in the past.
Duan Ling Tian had always acted in accordance with a principle in his heart — The smallest favor should be returned a great amount!
"No… I don’t deserve that, I don’t deserve that!" Meng Ping’s face flushed red and she hurriedly shook her head when she heard Duan Ling Tian call her Grandma, and then she consumed the grade four Great Recovery Pill.
Nie Rong and Nie Yuan looked at Duan Ling Tian with a bewildered expression when they saw Meng Ping’s loss of composure.
They weren’t stupid people and naturally noticed how restrained Meng Ping was when facing Duan Ling Tian, and it was as if she was facing an extraordinary and great figure.
They suddenly realized that perhaps there understanding of the current Duan Ling Tian was very insufficient.
After consuming the medicinal pill, Meng Peng closed her eyes and sat cross-legged in midair to recover.
After a short moment, her pale countenance started to become rosy, and her weak aura strengthened ceaselessly as if she’d obtained new life.
"This is the medicinal strength of a grade four Great Recovery Pill?" Nie Rong and Nie Yuan’s pupils constricted when they saw this scene.
A grade four Great Recovery Pill was an extremely precious medicinal pill that could only be refined by a grade four alchemist.
After all, a grade four alchemist was only comparatively common in the Darkhan Dynasty, and they were extremely rare existences even in the Darkstone Empire.
As for the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, it was utterly impossible to see a grade four alchemist, let alone the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
In the Martial Practice Grounds, the crowd of Flying Rainbow Sect disciples had quieted down, and the gazes of most of them had shot onto the Sect Leader, Meng Ping.
All of them hoped that Meng Ping could recover and once again take control of their Flying Rainbow Sect, and Meng Ping’s popularity was obvious from this.
Of course, the gazes of a small amount of Flying Rainbow Sect disciples never left Duan Ling Tian, and they’d become even more feverish after finding out about Duan Ling Tian’s identity.
As for the two old women that stood in the distant sky, they stood on the spot without moving an inch.
Is wasn’t that they hadn’t thought about fleeing, but they didn’t dare flee.
Before an existence like Duan Ling Tian who could easily kill sixth level Void Initiation Stage experts, could two little seventh level Void Prying Stage martial artists like them flee?
Half an hour passed quickly.
"Pu!" Meng Ping who sat cross-legged in midair to absorb the medicinal strength of the grade four Great Recovery Pill suddenly opened her mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood that was purple to the point it almost turned black, whereas, Meng Ping seemed much more spirited after spitting out this mouthful of blood.
Whoosh!
Along with Origin Energy pulsating on Meng Ping’s body, an ancient horned dragon silhouettes and 1,000 ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared out of thin air in the sky above her.
Eighth level of the Void Prying Stage!
"Ping, you… You’ve recovered?" Nie Rong’s eyes opened wide like saucers when he saw this scene, and he asked with slight pleasant surprise.
"Yes." Meng Ping smiled as she nodded, and then she looked at Duan Ling Tian and slightly bowed. "Thank you, Young Master Ling Tian, for giving me the grade four Great Recovery Pill." Not only had the grade four Great Recovery Pill allowed her to recover more than half of her injuries, it even completely wiped out the blood clogged within her meridians.
At this moment, she felt her body was light as a swallow, and her strength from her prime had returned.
Meng Ping’s actions were slightly out of Duan Ling Tian’s expectations, and he hurriedly raised his hand as a gentle strand of Origin Energy shook the air to cause a shapeless force to sweep out and support Meng Ping up. "Grandma Meng, you’re someone dear to Grandpa Nie and Uncle Nie, so you’re someone dear to me too… You can call me Little Tian just like Grandpa Nie and Uncle Nie."
"I don’t deserve to call you that." Meng Ping spoke with slight panic.
When she recalled the thing this violet clothed young man before her had done some time ago, she couldn’t help but feel a wave of shock in her heart, and she was unable to recover from it even until now.
As strong as the Azure Forest Tri-Sect was, it was actually annihilated just like that at the hands of this young man that was shockingly young, and it was truly unbelievable.
"Mother, you haven’t answered me… How do you know Little Tian?" The nearby Nie Yuan asked once more.
But Meng Ping didn’t have the chance to answer Nie Yuan when she was interrupted.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two swift figured flashed over.
Besides Duan Ling Tian and Meng Ping who had calm expressions, the expressions of Nie Rong and Nie Yuan went grim when they saw the azure clothed old woman and blue clothed old woman flying over.
But in the next moment, the actions of the two old women had instead caused them to be completely dumbstruck.
The two old women actually directly knelt in the sky before Duan Ling Tian, and their emaciated and aged bodies shivered. "Lord Duan Ling Tian, we… We didn’t know of your relationship with the Sect Leader, I hope you can forgive us."
"Lord Duan Ling Tian, so long as you’re willing to forgive me, then I’m willing to vow under the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation that I won’t go against the Sect Leader anymore in my entire life."
"I’m willing as well!"
The two old women knelt just like this before Duan Ling Tian, and were slightly unable to speak properly in their anxiousness.
They’d completely thrown away their haughty airs as the Supreme Elders of the Flying Rainbow Sect when facing Duan Ling Tian, and there was only a single thought in their hearts — I must survive no matter what.
"What are the Supreme Elders doing?"
"Even if Duan Ling Tian is a martial artist at the eighth level of the Void Prying Stage or above, they don’t have to act like this, right?"
…
The crowd of Flying Rainbow Sect disciples on the Martial Practice Grounds were stunned by the actions of the two Supreme Elders.
Not only were they stunned, Nie Rong and Nie Yuan were similarly stunned as well.
