Chapter 3921: Green Province Mansion

Duan Ling Tian spent half a year on the Lord Battlefield, and it was considered not bad that he encountered three members of the Tai Yi Sect.

The members from the Flying Dragon Sect gasped when they saw the two intermediate Lords of Gods' identity tokens.

"Duan Ling Tian killed two intermediate Lords of Gods from the Tai Yi Sect!"

Intermediate Lords of Gods had the highest cultivation bases on the Lord Battlefield, after all. The extraordinary intermediate Lords of Gods were mostly White Dragon Elders or Underworld Elders from the Flying Dragon Sect and Tai Yi Sect respectively. The weaker and ordinary ones were all inner elders.

"Do you think those two identity tokens belong to Underworld Elders?"

"That's unlikely. He's strong enough to kill inner elders, but I don't think he's capable of killing Underworld Elders just yet."

"Not necessarily. He might be able to kill a newly-promoted Underworld Elder through an ambush."

"You have a point."

"Duan Ling Tian is quite lucky if that was the case..."

At the same time, the members of the Tai Yi Sect saw the identity tokens as well, and their expressions darkened immediately.

"That's Elder Huang Yun's identity token!"

"The other one belonged to Elder Xu You Shan!"

"Duan Ling Tian killed two of our inner elders!"

"Don't forget the inner deacon as well!"

Although the Flying Dragon Sect members were slightly disappointed Duan Ling Tian did not manage to kill an Underworld Elder or two, they were still amazed by his performance.

"Duan Ling Tian is just a rudimentary Lord of Gods, but he managed to kill two inner elders from the Tai Yi Sect. It's an amazing feat for a rudimentary Lord of Gods."

"Those from the Tai Yi Sect kept bragging about Ximen Long Xiang.... However, since news of Duan Ling Tian killing intermediate Lords of Gods who were death warriors spread, I haven't heard them talking about Ximen Long Xiang anymore. I wonder what happened to him."

"Did he get frightened by Duan Ling Tian?"

The expressions of the members of the Tai Yi Sect were rather unsightly. They did not know how to refute the words of the members of the Flying Dragon Sect. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian's performance was indeed better than Ximen Long Xiang's. They were just about to leave when they saw a newcomer, shocked. When they regained their senses, they bowed and greeted the newcomer.

"Sect leader!"

The Tai Yi Sect members did not expect their sect leader to enter the Imperial War Realm and come to Peace City. They were also curious when they saw their sect leader respectfully following behind a stern-looking skinny old man.

Everyone watched as the skinny old and the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect made their way toward Duan Ling Tian. They instinctively made way for the duo. Needless to say, no one dared to act presumptuously in front of the duo.

The members of the Flying Dragon Sect were curious about the old man's identity and quickly sent messages. With that, more and more people gathered.

Everyone wondered about the old man's identity and why the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect and the old man were looking for Duan Ling Tian. Based on how respectful the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect was, they could not help but wonder if the old man was an Emperor of Gods? They grew even more excited with this thought in mind. After all, none of them had met an Emperor of Gods before.

"Who is he? Why is the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect so respectful to him?"

"The sect leader doesn't even treat the supreme elders with so much respect, right?"

"Did they come for Duan Ling Tian?"

"I wonder if he's an Emperor of Gods? I've never met an Emperor of Gods before."

"Me too!"

"My life will be complete if I can meet an Emperor of Gods."

...

At the same time, a huge commotion broke out in Flying Dragon City and Tai Yi City after the news spread. The news also spread to the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect soon after. Many people were green with envy when they speculated that the Emperor of Gods wanted to accept Duan Ling Tian as his direct disciple.

...

Duan Ling Tian was similarly shocked to see the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect. His heart skipped a beat when he shifted his eyes to the skinny old man. He wondered inwardly, 'Is he really an Emperor of Gods like the others speculated? Why are they looking for me?'

At this time, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect, looked at Duan Ling Tian indifferently before he said to the old man in a respectful tone, "Elder Deng, this the proud prodigy of the Flying Dragon Sect, Duan Ling Tian."

Although the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect had no enmity with Duan Ling Tian, it was naturally not easy to ignore the fact that Duan Ling Tian had killed many of his sect members on both the King and Lord Battlefields. How could he be friendly toward Duan Ling Tian?

The Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Sect turned to Duan Ling Tian and said tonelessly, "Duan Ling Tian, this is Elder Deng Kui from the Marionette Villa in the Green Province Mansion. Elder Deng Kui is a Silver Marionette Elder of the Marionette Villa. He's an Emperor of Gods. The Marionette Villa is one of the top four emperor-rank forces in the Green Province Mansion. They have many Emperors of Gods, including intermediate Emperors of Gods."

Upon hearing this, the members of the top emperor-rank forces in Eastern Ridge Mansion in Peace City raised their eyebrows.

As for those from the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect, they were naturally shocked.

Some of them had heard about the Green Province Mansion, which was located northwest of the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Its size was about the same as the Eastern Ridge Mansion, and their top forces were on par with each other.

"An Emperor of Gods from the Green Province Mansion's Marionette Villa? Is he here to recruit Duan Ling Tian?"

"I always thought it's a waste for Duan Ling Tian to stay in the Flying Dragon Sect. With his young age, innate talent, and comprehension skills, it's easy for him to join any of the top emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Moreover, those top forces had already tried to recruit him before the Imperial War began, but he refused them. I didn't expect a top emperor-rank force from the Green Province Mansion would try to recruit him as well..."

"They sent an Emperor of Gods to recruit Duan Ling Tian. It could be seen that they place great importance on him. I think Duan Ling Tian will likely leave our Flying Dragon Sect this time..."

In everyone's opinion, it was an honor that an Emperor of Gods was sent to recruit Duan Ling Tian. It showed that they valued Duan Ling Tian. Most people would definitely not refuse such a chance.

Deng Kui smiled and said, "Duan Ling Tian, I'm an elder from the Marionette Villa in the Green Province Mansion. I came to invite you to join our Marionette. If you join us, you'll be given the best treatment our sect has ever given to a disciple. Apart from that, you'll also receive a generous welcome gift from us."

Before Duan Ling Tian could reply, a loud voice rang in the air."

"Old Deng, don't you think the Marionette Villa is overstepping its bounds? You're in the Eastern Ridge Mansion, not the Green Province Mansion."

Following that, a figure with a medium build appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian, facing Deng Kui.

Deng Kui looked at the man and said, "Hong Yun Xiao? Oh, have you forgotten about how I defeated you 3,000 years ago? How dare you stop me from recruiting a talent for the Marionette Villa?"

Upon hearing Deng Kui's words, the people in the surroundings began to whisper among themselves again.

"Hong Yun Xiao? He's an Emperor of Gods as well, right? He's an elder from one of the top emperor-rank forces, the Seven Kills Valley."

"He's the Emperor of Gods on duty today in Peace City!"

"Hey, did you hear that? The powerhouse from the Marionette Villa said he defeated Elder Hong 3,000 years ago!"
