4470 What’s Duan Ling Tian’s Choice?

In fact, Tan Xiu Teng was not 100% certain Duan Ling Tian could save him, but he was at his wit’s end. He continued to plead, frightened, “Young master, I killed those people because he was blocking our way. I was only carrying out your orders…”

It was not surprising that Tan Xiu Teng was frightened. After all, let alone the Linghu clan, the Leng clan and the Zhong clan were forces to be reckoned with in the Peaceful Might Realm.

‘She’s invincible among those below the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods?’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. He ignored Tan Xiu Teng’s pleas and looked at the ordinary-looking young woman. He did not expect the other party to be so extraordinary. Even Hu Fei Yan seemed surprised.

“Deputy Commander Hu, you really live up to your reputation. I’m surprised you know me. The Linked Solitary Realm is far from the Peaceful Might Realm after all,” Linghu Yun Di said with a slight nod. Her voice was friendly, and she did not put on any airs at all.

After a brief pause, Linghu Yundi added, “An elder whom I respect very much has a close relationship with your godfather. He told me several times that he would have visited your godfather in the Linked Solitary Realm if it were not for an incident that happened in the past. He said he was too embarrassed to meet your godfather after that incident.”

Zhong Yue’s expression darkened upon hearing these words.

Hu Fei Yan seemed surprised and confused.

On the other hand, Tan Xiu Teng’s eyes brightened when he heard Linghu Yun Di’s words. Perhaps, Linghu Yun Di would not stand on their side, but based on her words, there was a chance she might stay neutral. In his opinion, if Linghu Yun Di did not get involved, as long as Hu Fei Yan was willing, she would be able to save him.

‘I hope Deputy Commander Hu won’t object to protecting me for young master’s sake and also because of how diligent I have been…’ Tan Xiu Teng thought to himself anxiously. His life was at stake after all.

“I’ve never heard my godfather mention this matter before,” Hu Fei Yan said. Her expression had eased as well.

Linghu Yun Di was acknowledged as being invincible among those below the realm of peerless top advanced Supreme Gods. Although Hu Fei Yan had never fought with Linghu Yun Di before, she knew she was no match for Linghu Yun Di. With the varying strengths of cultivators in the same realm, it was not impossible for the strongest cultivator to kill the weakest cultivator in the same realm.

Linghu Yun Di sighed softly and said, “Perhaps, your godfather is still angry at the elder. This matter still weighs heavily in that elder’s heart. I hope Deputy Commander Hu will speak to your godfather on my elder’s behalf. He’s really regretful…” Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

Hu Fei Yan was startled by Linghu Yun Di’s modest behavior. At the same time, she wondered if Linghu Yun Di’s elder was also a supreme powerhouse. After a moment, she nodded and replied, “I’ll relay your message to my godfather.”

“Thank you,” Linghu Yun Di said sincerely. Then, she glanced at Zhong Yue and said tonelessly, “Zhong Yue, I won’t allow you to look for trouble with them. I heard that your junior brother was expelled by your master previously. He was a direct disciple of a supreme powerhouse, but instead of improving himself, he sank into depravity and even became a bandit. He should’ve known the risks of becoming a bandit. His actions were tantamount to seeking death. You can’t blame anyone for his death.” Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

Zhong Yue’s expression turned unsightly upon hearing these words. Earlier, Linghu Yun Di had followed them here because she was bored. He thought that he could use this opportunity to get close to Linghu Yun Di and forge a connection with the Linghu clan. He did not expect the situation to take a sudden twist at all.

Zhong Yue took a deep breath to calm down. Then, a warm expression appeared on his face as he said, “Miss Linghu, I won’t look for trouble with Deputy Commander Hu, but…” He trailed off and glanced at Tan Xiu Teng before he continued to say, “However, I won’t allow my junior brother’s murderer to escape!”

Upon hearing these words, Linghu Yun Di did not respond to Zhong Yue. Instead, she turned to look at Hu Fei Yan. If Hu Fei Yan wanted to protect Tan Xiu Teng, she would intervene on Hu Fei Yan’s behalf. She was willing to do this if it could help resolve the issue between her elder and Hu Bu Gui. She owed the elder for taking care of her for so many years, and she found it distressing to see her elder living in guilt. In the past, she had gone to Gui Lan City to meet Hu Bu Gui, but he refused to meet her when he found out that she was from the Linghu clan. As such, she hoped to resolve this matter through Hu Fei Yan.

Duan Ling Tian, who was silent until now, glanced at Hu Fei Yan. He had gotten to know her a little better during their journey, but he was uncertain about how she would respond to the words of Zhong Yue, the Young Master of Mount Tai’s Zhong clan. After all, she had no relations with and obligations toward Tan Xiu Teng.

At the same time, Tan Xiu Teng stared at Hu Fei Yan with pleading eyes.

“What do you think?” Hu Fei Yan asked. At the same time, she said through Voice Transmission, “With Linghu Yun Di’s presence, we’ll be able to save Tan Xiu Teng’s life now. However, the Zhong clan will definitely make a move later. Not only is Zhong Yue’s father the clan leader, but his ancestor is also the strongest supreme powerhouse in the clan. It’s said that the Zhong clan’s ancestor dotes on him as well. Zhong Yue is strong not only because of his innate talent and comprehension, but it’s mostly because of his ancestor.”

After a pause, Hu Fei Yan continued to say through Voice Transmission, “We’ll be able to avoid future troubles if we hand Tan Xiu Teng over to Zhong Yue.”
