War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 4689  Chen Jiu Xiao, the Cunning Old Man

The Chen clan dominated the Myriad Mountains, and it was also one of the top forces in the Divine Land. It was not surprising that their intelligence network spread far and wide. About half a month later, they managed to gather information about the new Dao Merging powerhouse from the Surging River Divine Kingdom. The timing of the emergence of the new Dao Merging powerhouse matched the description of one of the ancestors of the Chen clan, a Dao Merging powerhouse who chose the path of the Limitless Dao Sword.

After receiving information about Duan Ling Tian, the two powerhouses of the Chen clan, Chen Jiu Xiao and Chen Ming Hao, met again.

"So Duan Ling Tian, the God Defying Sword, is indeed from the world within the Life Creation Chart. He was in the Surging River Divine Kingdom?"

"Grandfather, you were right. He really did come from the world within the Life Creation Chart!" Chen Ming Hao said in a low voice as his eyes shone murderously.

"It's not that hard to guess," Chen Jiu Xiao said indifferently, "Nobody in the Divine Land would choose the path of the Limitless Sword Dao in fear of offending our Chen clan after all. Only an ignorant outsider from the world within the Life Creation Chart would dare to choose this path. However, whether it was intentional or not, he has to die since he affects your cultivation!"

After a moment, Chen Jiu Xiao added, "I'll accompany you to the Surging River Divine Kingdom, and we'll try to kill him at that time. At the very least, we must severely injure him. With this, as long as we can find him again in a short time, we'll definitely be able to kill him!"

Chen Ming Hao's eyes lit up and a sinister smile appeared on his face when he heard these words. He thought to himself, 'Duan Ling Tian, you can only blame yourself for unknowingly choosing the same path as me. Otherwise, you'd have a place in the Divine Land. Alas, offending me and the Chen clan is a death sentence!'

…

It did not take long before Chen Jiu Xiao and Chen Ming Hao left the Myriad Mountains for the Surging River Divine Kingdom. Although the two places were far away from each other, they arrived in the Surging River Divine Kingdom in just a few days. As soon as they arrived, they quickly made their way to the capital city. Based on the information they received, Duan Ling Tian had moved his residence in the Distinct Province to the capital city after entering the Dao Merging realm.

Above the Duan Residence.

Chen Ming Hao stood alone in the sky, looking at the area below him as he said in a voice that echoed through the capital city, "Duan Ling Tian! I'm Chen Ming Hao, a Dao Merging powerhouse from the Chen clan in the Myriad Mountains! I've come to challenge you to determine the owner of the path of the Limitless Sword Dao!"

The arrival of a Dao Merging powerhouse shook the Duan Residence. Previously, they had been delighted when they learned that Duan Ling Tian had joined the ranks of the Dao Merging powerhouses in the Divine Land. The increase in Duan Ling Tian's strength meant an increase in their chances of survival in the Divine Land after all. Alas, they did not expect that in less than a month after moving to the capital city of the Surging River Divine Kingdom, a Dao Merging powerhouse would show up to challenge Duan Ling Tian.

…

At the same time, in the Hong Residence.

Hong Dong Chuan's expression changed slightly before he exclaimed, "It's Chen Ming Hao! He came so quickly?!"

Although Hong Dong Chuan was only at the eighth Dao Establishment stage, as a native of the Divine Land, he was naturally familiar with strong Dao Merging powerhouses in the Divine Land. He knew that Chen Ming Hao would naturally come to look for trouble, but he did not expect it to happen so quickly.

…

At the royal palace.

Jiang Tian Zheng frowned. He was the guardian of the Surging River Divine Kingdom, and he was the only Dao Merging powerhouse in the kingdom before Duan Ling Tian's breakthrough. As soon as he sensed Chen Ming Hao's presence, he quickly flew over to Chen Ming Hao.

In just a flash, Jiang Tian Zheng stood across from Chen Ming Hao.

"Jiang Tian Zheng?"

It was not surprising that Chen Ming Hao recognized Jiang Tian Zheng. Dao Merging powerhouses in the Divine Land naturally knew each other.

Chen Ming Hao nodded at Jiang Tian Zheng and greeted the latter before he said, "I came for the new Dao Merging powerhouse. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Chen Ming Hao might not be a match for Jiang Tian Zheng, but it would not be easy for Jiang Tian Zheng to defeat Chen Ming Hao either. Moreover, Chen Jiu Xiao, a Triple Dao Merging powerhouse, was hiding nearby, ready to make a move.

Jiang Tian Zheng shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, I have no intentions of getting involved in the matter between you and Duan Ling Tian. I only came to inform you that you're a step too late. Duan Ling Tian is no longer in the Surging River Divine Kingdom. He left with a few of his close relatives over half a month ago."

Chen Ming Hao frowned and his expression darkened immediately. Following that, he extended his Divine Consciousness and swept it through the Duan Residence, confirming that there were no traces of Duan Ling Tian in the residence. Subsequently, he glared at Jiang Tian Zheng and said with an unsightly expression on his face, "Jiang Tian Zheng, I'm certain Duan Ling Tian was unaware that I've also mastered the Limitless Sword Dao. Did you tell him about me? Did you tell me to leave?"

Jiang Tian Zheng frowned. Although he did not want to provoke Chen Ming Hao and make an enemy out of the Chen clan, it did not mean that he was afraid of Chen Ming Hao. Moreover, he was slightly stronger than Chen Ming Hao because the path he had chosen was relatively new. If it were not for the fact that Chen Ming Hao's grandfather was a Triple Dao Merging powerhouse, he would have already attacked Chen Ming Hao.

After a moment, Jiang Tian Zheng said expressionlessly, "Chen Ming Hao, it's best not to speak without evidence. How can you blame me? In the Divine Land, how many people do you think know that you've mastered the Limitless Sword Dao? Apart from Dao Merging powerhouses, even those Dao Establishment cultivators know about it. Perhaps the only people who aren't aware of it are those who live in seclusion."

Just as Chen Ming Hao was about to reply, Chen Jiu Xiao, who was hiding nearby, appeared. After confirming that Duan Ling Tian was not around, there was no more reason for him to hide. As soon as he appeared, he said, "Brother Jiang, my grandson has acted rashly. Allow me to apologize on his behalf."

Upon seeing Chen Jiu Xiao, Jiang Tian Zheng narrowed his eyes imperceptibly as he thought to himself, 'As expected, this cunning old man is here!'
