War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens - Chapter 4359: 4359 Arrived at the Outer Boundary

4359 Arrived at the Outer Boundary

Although Duan Ling Tian was young, Sun Yu Qian respected Duan Ling Tian and addressed Duan Ling Tian as ‘senior’ due to his strength. Moreover, in his eyes, Duan Ling Tian was his savior. As such, he naturally spoke up to reassure Duan Ling Tian, saying that Duan Ling Tian could also leave the Cyclic World and go to the Outer Boundary through the Sun clan’s Transportation Formation.

Seeing how insistent Sun Yu Qian was, Duan Ling Tian no longer stood on ceremony. He said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll have to trouble the two of you. On account of the two of you allowing me to use the Sun clan’s Transportation Formation to go the Outer Boundary, please consider the favor repaid. We don’t owe each other anything after this.”

Duan Ling Tian had just met Sun Yu Qian, but he could tell that Sun Yu Qian was very innocent. It was clear that Sun Yu Qian regarded him as a savior and sincerely wanted to help. He intentionally said that they no longer owed each other so that Sun Yu Qian would no longer feel indebted to him.

“Li…”

Just as Sun Long was about to speak, Sun Yu Qian interjected, “Senior Li Feng, how can your life-saving grace be repaid with such a little thing? The grace of saving a life is greater than the heavens. I’ll remember this for the rest of my life. In the future, if you encounter any issue, I definitely won’t refuse to help you as long as it’s within my capabilities!”

Although the matter was over, Sun Yu Qian was determined to properly repay Duan Ling Tian. In fact, it was not an exaggeration to say that he felt like he should devote whole life to repaying Duan Ling Tian for saving his life.

At the same time, a satisfied smile bloomed on Sun Long’s face as he nodded and thought to himself, ‘This is what the men of our Sun clan should be like!’

As for Duan Ling Tian, he felt rather awkward upon hearing Sun Yu Qian’s words. After all, everything Sun Yu Qian experienced earlier was orchestrated by him.

The three intermediate Supreme Gods were all ‘actors’ whom Duan Ling Tian found. A few days ago, he had spent a lot of effort to convince the trio to cooperate with him to put on a show. He both coerced and tempted them. He also promised them that their identities would not be revealed and that he would not allow the Sun clan to target them.

Duan Ling Tian had planned everything carefully so he could go to the Outer Boundary using the Sun clan’s Transportation Formation. If his identity was still exposed after such meticulous planning, he really had nothing left to say.

‘Forget it… Even if he’s determined to repay me, he won’t have a chance to do so. I’ll just let him do whatever he wants,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. At this time, he had grown quite fond of Sun Yu Qian. As such, he felt a little guilty.

‘If I have a chance in the future, I’ll find a way to compensate him and tell him the truth about what happened today. I feel guilty, but I really need his help now…’

The more honorable Sun Yu Qian was, the guiltier Duan Ling Tian felt.

Seeing that Duan Ling Tian had stopped objecting, Sun Yu Qian smiled.

At this time, not one, but two people from the Sun clan, who were advanced Supreme Gods, finally arrived. One was an old man, and the other was a middle-aged man. The old man looked kind, but he possessed a pair of piercing eyes. As for the middle-aged man, he had an ordinary appearance, and he looked aloof.

The old man asked solemnly, “Sun Long, I heard that someone tried to kill Yu Qian. Is Yu Qian okay?”

Before Sun Long replied, Sun Yu Qian said, “Grandpa Hong, I’m fine.”

Sun Long was no longer as calm as he was when he was facing Duan Ling Tian and Sun Yu Qian earlier. At this moment, he looked slightly upset. He did not waste time on irrelevant details and directly pointed in the direction where the trio left and said to the old man, “Uncle Hong, those three people left not long ago! They left in that direction. If we capture them, we’ll be able to find the mastermind behind the matter!”

In Sun Long’s opinion, there was no point in complaining now. The most important thing was to ask the two advanced Supreme Gods from the Sun clan, who had just arrived, to chase the three intermediate Supreme Gods. If the trio was captured and brought back to the Sun clan, it would not be difficult to find out who was pulling the strings behind the scene.

The old man; Sun Hong, who was from another direct descendant’s faction in the Sun clan, understood Sun Long’s intentions. He glanced at the middle-aged man next to him before he left in the direction where Sun Long pointed.

Although the middle-aged man did not pay attention to Sun Long’s words, he understood Sun Hong’s meaning with just a glance. Clearly, Sun Hong wanted to go after the three intermediate Supreme Gods. He did not hesitate and followed suit.

When the two advanced Supreme Gods’ figures finally vanished from sight, Sun Long calmed down again. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and introduced the duo. “Brother Li Feng, those two are from another faction in our Sun clan. It’s also the faction that our faction has the closest relationship with. Uncle Hong’s name is Sun Hong. He’s one of the advanced Supreme Gods in our Sun clan, and he’s also the leader of his faction. The middle-aged man next to him isn’t a descendant of our Sun clan, but he’s Uncle Hong’s adopted son so he carries the surname Sun as well. His name is Sun Lei Zheng. He’s a monstrous prodigy. Many people say that if he were a descendant of the Sun clan, the current Clan Leader of the Sun clan would have likely been him.”

After learning about the duo’s identities, Duan Ling Tian was not particularly surprised that Sun Long and Sun Hong’s respective factions have a good relationship. After all, Sun Long would only ask for help from advanced Supreme Gods he trusted in the Sun clan.

It was part of Duan Ling Tian’s plan to draw suspicion to Sun Yu Qian’s two competitors for the position of the clan leader, after all. After the suspicion was planted, how could Sun Long request help from people he did not trust?

If those three intermediate Supreme Gods were really hired by one of Sun Yu Qian’s two competitors, and Sun Long requested help from those he did not trust, there was a possibility that whoever came to help might not even help him and Sun Yu Qian. It was also possible that they might join forces with three intermediate Supreme Gods to kill him and Sun Yu Qian.

‘Everything is just as I’ve expected… I just didn’t know that Sun Hong has an adopted son who’s also an advanced Supreme God…’

Previously, Duan Ling Tian had thoroughly investigated the Sun clan. As such, he also knew about Sun Hong, an advanced Supreme God of the Sun clan. He also found out that Sun Hong’s faction had a good relationship with Sun Long’s faction because there was no conflict of interest between them. After all, there were no talented descendants among the younger generation in Sun Hong’s clan who competed with Sun Yu Qian for the position of the Clan Leader of the Sun clan. Apart from that, among the three competitors for the position of the next clan leader, Sun Hong favored Sun Yu Qian. This was because Sun Yu Qian was not only superior to the other two in all aspects, but also because his faction had a close relationship with the faction that Sun Yu Qian belonged.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was not worried that Sun Hong and Sun Lei Zheng would successfully capture the three intermediate Supreme Gods. He had reminded the trio to change directions after leaving. He also advised the trio to go their separate ways. Although the advanced Supreme Gods from the Sun clan were strong, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack for them to find the trio who had fled nearly half an hour ago.

Just as expected, about 15 minutes later, Sun Hong and Sun Lei Zheng returned.

Sun Hong shook his head and said, “We didn’t find them or any traces of them at all in the direction you pointed… They must have left in a different direction. It’s almost impossible to find them at this point…”

“Uncle Hong, thank you for your help,” Sun Long said to Sun Hong, expressing his gratitude. Then, he said with a sigh, “Since we failed to catch those three, it’ll be impossible for us to find the mastermind…”

A hint of anger could be seen in Sun Hong’s eyes as he scoffed and said, “Even so, we must still thoroughly investigate this! No matter who it is, the Sun clan won’t let him or her off for pulling such a stunt!”

Just like Sun Long and Sun Yu Qian, Sun Hong also suspected that the matter had something to do with Sun Yu Qian’s two competitors. After all, he could not think of anyone else who would go to such lengths to kill Sun Yu Qian.

Sun Yu Qian said, “Grandpa Hong, calm down. I believe the clan will give me an explanation for this matter.”

After saying that, Sun Yu Qian introduced Duan Ling Tian to Sun Hong and Sun Lei Zheng and briefly explained Duan Ling Tian’s involvement in the matter.

After listening to Sun Yu Qian’s words, Sun Hong thanked Duan Ling Tian. “Brother Li Feng, thank you for saving Yu Qian. Don’t worry about the Transportation Formation to the Outer Boundary. I’ll make the arrangements for you. Please follow us back to the Sun clan. After dealing with this matter, I’ll personally bring you to the Transportation Formation that will send you to the Outer Boundary.”

At the same time, Sun Hong, who also learned about Duan Ling Tian’s determination to go to the Outer Boundary from Sun Yu Qian, did not dissuade Duan Ling Tian from going to the Outer Boundary at all. After all, Duan Ling Tian was just a stranger to him. He was only helping Duan Ling Tian to repay Duan Ling Tian for saving Sun Yu Qian’s life.

Duan Ling Tian, who was pretending to be Li Feng, followed the members of the Sun clan back.

Unsurprisingly, a huge commotion broke out in the Sun clan when the news about the attempt on Sun Yun Qian’s life spread. Many high-ranking officials and elders in the Sun clan were furious.

Even those from the same factions as Sun Yu Qian’s two competitors reacted furiously. Even if they were gloating and felt that it was a pity that Sun Yu Qian did not die, they naturally knew they could not show it on the surface.

Duan Ling Tian, as an outsider, naturally did not have anything to do with the commotion in the Sun clan.

The Sun clan quickly reached a consensus regarding Duan Ling Tian. To repay him for saving Sun Yu Qian’s life, the Sun clan gave him some divine crystals and also agreed to send him to the Outer Boundary using their clan’s Transportation Formation.

Naturally, no one objected. Even if those from the same factions as Sun Yu Qian’s two competitors were dissatisfied and upset that Duan Ling Tian prevented Sun Yu Qian from dying, they agreed on the surface that the clan should repay Duan Ling Tian.

Just like this, Duan Ling Tian left the Cyclic World through the Transportation Formation in the Sun clan and went to the Outer Boundary.

After the Formation was activated, Duan Ling Tian lost consciousness briefly. It felt as though just a moment had passed, but it also felt as though a century had passed. When he finally regained consciousness, he surveyed the unfamiliar surroundings and murmured, “So… this is the Outer Boundary?”
