Chapter 4669 The Relocation of the Azure Cloud Residence
Chapter 4669 The Relocation of the Azure Cloud Residence
In the beginning, after coming to the Divine Land, Lei Hong wandered around the various territories before he finally settled down near the Surging River Divine Kingdom. With his strength as a level-seven Dao Establishment powerhouse, he quickly made a name for himself and gathered a group of followers.
Later on, Lei Hong heard the news from the Surging River Divine Kingdom about the God Defying Sword and Duan Ling Tian, he knew for certain that the other party was Duan Ling Tian whom he considered his biggest enemy in the Myriad Worlds.
At one time, he was almost killed by Duan Ling Tian. It was all thanks to his life-saving means that he had narrowly escaped death. This experience left a deep mark on him, and fear lingered in his heart for a very long time. As such, he no longer dared to act rashly.
After that experience, apart from Duan Ling Tian, he began to monitor the people from the God Defying World and the Outerboundary who were related to Duan Ling Tian, especially those at or above the seventh Dao Establishment level. He had placed a few spies among these people.
When the new entrance of the Heaven Traversing Pagoda opened, Lei Hong's interest was piqued. After all, it could help advanced Supreme Gods and supreme powerhouses grow stronger quickly. He had dreamed about being stronger than Duan Ling Tian, trampling on Duan Ling Tian, and killing Duan Ling Tian. In his lifetime, this was the first time he had suffered such a major setback at the hands of one person.
However, later on, Lei Hong learned that Duan Ling Tian and his friends had no intention of entering the Heaven Traversing Pagoda after the new entrance appeared. With that, he dismissed his idea to enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda even though he did not know the reason why. His spies' statuses were low and were unable to discover the reason. Nonetheless, as someone who was suspicious by nature, he could tell that something was amiss. He was even more certain that he had made the right decision when news began to spread from the Divine Offering Land that the entrance to the pagoda in the Divine Offering Land would be closed.
Due to Duan Ling Tian's indirect reminder, he did not enter the Heaven Traversing Pagoda and chose to observe from outside instead. With this decision, he witnessed the Heaven Traversing Pagoda crumbling, the Myriad Worlds collapsing, and the spatial turbulence. In the end, he was transported to the Divine Land like many others.
Lei Hong sneered and muttered to himself, "Considering everything, I really have to thank Duan Ling Tian for my survival and arrival in the Divine Land…"
When he received the news that Duan Ling Tian had established the Duan Residence in the Surging River Divine Kingdom's Distinct Province, Duan Ling Tian was just about to fight Hong Dong Chuan in the Towering Heaven Peak. After that, he wasted no time in making his way to the Distinct Province.
Lei Hong's goal was simple. He planned to attack the Duan Residence while Duan Ling Tian was away. This was not only a retaliation against Duan Ling Tian for killing the powerhouse in his sect in the Sun Bright World but also for that time when Duan Ling Tian almost killed him.
However, Lei Hong did not expect that when he arrived in the Distinct Province, Duan Ling Tian had already returned from the capital of the Surging River Divine Kingdom in the River Province.
Lei Hong's eyes shone with killing intent as he muttered, "It's best if you don't leave again. Otherwise, you'll regret offending me, Lei Hong, for the rest of your life!"
…
After two days.
Lei Hong received a piece of unpleasant news.
"That old man from the Azure Cloud Residence in Cloud Province is also at the Duan Residence?"
'The old man' that Lei Hong mentioned was none other than Zhao An Yi. As soon as Lei Hong heard Zhao An Yi's name and title, he knew immediately that the other party was Zhao An Yi from the Outer Boundary.
'He's probably just visiting as a guest…' Lei Hong thought to himself.
In the Divine Land, Zhao An Yi was a level-seven Dao Establishment powerhouse. Although Lei Hong was not afraid of Zhao An Yi, he knew it would be difficult for him to defeat the other party. After all, they were at the same level.
In his opinion, if they were in the Myriad Worlds or the Outer Boundary, he had more than a 70% chance of defeating Zhao An Yi since he could use his laws and doppelgangers. In short, he had a higher chance of defeating Zhao An Yi in their previous world. After he arrived in the Divine Land, his strength had weakened due to the absence of the laws, which also meant that he could no longer use his doppelgangers. For all these reasons, he knew he could not defeat Zhao An Yi now.
"This damn Divine Land! Why are there now laws here?"
Lei Hong felt frustrated when he thought about this. In the past, he only focused on comprehending one Dao and did not explore a second Dao. He also focused more on comprehending various laws. If he had known that he would eventually end up in a world without laws, he would have focused more on comprehending more than one Dao. Alas, there was no second chance in life.
Before coming to the Divine Land, he naturally did not think that there was another world, let alone a world without laws. Needless to say, it was even more beyond his imagination that the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary were only creations of the Life Creation Chart.
…
Duan Ling Tian was surprised by Zhao An Yi's arrival. After all, they had just met not long ago in the River Province. He asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhao An Yi chuckled and replied, "Brother Ling Tian, I feel that your fame has surpassed mine now. As such, I felt that it's better to seek refuge in your Duan Residence than to stay in the Azure Cloud Residence in the Cloud Province. I've already shut down the Azure Cloud Residence, and my people are already on their way here. In the future, my people and I will stay in the Distinct Province and accompany your Duan Residence. I've already spread the word in the Cloud Province that the Azure Cloud Residence is relocating to the Distinct Province."
Previously, Zhao An Yi had learned from Duan Ling Tian's example and left the Distinct Province to make a name for himself so he could gather his men. However, now that Duan Ling Tian's fame had surpassed his, he felt that it was more advantageous to stay in the Distinct Province. With Duan Ling Tian's fame now, he might be able to find more of his subordinates from the Azure Cloud Saint Sect in the Outer Boundary.
"I see."
Duan Ling Tian nodded in response before he mentioned his plans to leave in the next few days to Zhao An Yi. Then, he said, "If you'd come a few days later, you wouldn't be able to meet me."
He continued to say, "Since you're relocating the Azure Cloud Residence to the Distinct Province, I'll introduce you to the person who'll be looking after the Duan Residence while I'm away. She's my senior aunt, the second sister of my master's wife. She was also a Saint in the Outer Boundary so you might have already met…"
Zhao An Yi smiled wryly upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words. He said, "You're talking about Yu Xiao, the Second City Governor of the Jin Dynasty's Thirteen Cities, right? I know her. In fact, I've suffered a huge loss at her hands before…"
"Yes, that's her…" Duan Ling Tian nodded.
Duan Ling Tian wanted to introduce Zhao An Yi to Yu Xiao because he thought that the two could help each other in the future now that Zhao An Yi was relocating to the Distinct Province.
