War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2282 The Portrait Is Revealed

A year ago, the three Patriarchs from the Boar-Devil clan did not dare to spread the news about the human powerhouse because they were afraid of him since he was able to kill their three Great Guardian Warriors. Although they did not spread the news, they had been nursing a grudge ever since then. After a while, they discovered the powerhouse was actually the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ling Tian. However, they were still afraid so they did not spread the news. Thus, their grudge grew stronger! Finally, at this time, they found the perfect chance to deal with Duan Ling Tian by using the Human-Devil clan.

The three Patriarchs of the Boar-Devil clan felt as though they had been thrown a lifebuoy just as they were drowning. They finally managed to secure this ‘lifebuoy’ after much agony.

“I really can’t wait to see Yuwen Hao Chen’s expression when he finds out that he trusted a wolf to watch over his sheep,” the chief of the Red Boar Tribe, one of the Patriarchs of the Boar-Devil clan, said gleefully.

“Among the three Palace Masters from the Human-Devil clan, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace is the only one who’s close to becoming an Eminent Celestial. His Celestial Ascension Tribulation should be near... If we leave those old geezers out, he’s the second strongest person in the Human-Devil Clan after the Patriarch of the Human- Devil clan!”

“It’s unfortunate that he’s not an Eminent Celestial yet. I’m not certain if he and the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan would succeed in killing Duan Ling Tian!” The chief of the Thunder Boar Tribe said.

“That’s right.” The chief of the Black Boar tribe nodded in agreement. “That Duan Ling Tian has the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet. Moreover, his strength is comparable to a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!”

“With his strength and the Devilseal Tablet, even an Eminent Devil might be caught off-guard and die!” The chief of the Black Boar Tribe said fearfully.

The chiefs of the Thunder Boar Tribe and Red Boar Tribe felt a jolt of fear as well when they thought about this. The source of this ᴄontent ɪs ɴovelꜰɪre.ɴet

“If those old geezers don’t come out, it seems like nobody in the Human-Devil clan will be able to deal with Duan Ling Tian!” The chief of the Red Boar Tribe said with a frown.

“Hum! Even if nobody in the Human-Devil clan can deal with Duan Ling Tian, those old geezers wouldn’t let him get away if he poses a threat to the Human-Devil clan! At that time, he’ll definitely die!” The chief of the Thunder Boar Tribe retorted.

“You’re right. Those old geezers from the Human-Devil clan are like our old Patriarchs. They’re not afraid of the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, at all!” The chief of the Thunder Boar Tribe nodded.

“What we need to do now is send this portrait to the Wandering Saint Palace in the Human-Devil Saint City. Those who have seen their new Vice Palace Master will definitely recognize the person in this portrait!”

The eyes of the chief of the Thunder Boar Tribe shone brightly as he said eagerly, “At that time, everyone will know that their Vice Palace Master Duan Ling Tian is the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. They’ll find out he’s human and not a Devil Cultivator!”

“How exciting!” Both chiefs of the Red Boar Tribe and Black Boar Tribe’s eyes glittered with excitement.

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware of what was happening in the Boar-Devil clan. Currently, he had gone into closed-door cultivation in the Wandering Saint Palace’s estate in the Human-Devil Saint City. He was completely focused on his cultivation. Since his cultivation base had broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage two weeks ago, he was determined to continue cultivating to quickly raise his cultivation base to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He did not think much of the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and thought he could only further increase his strength once he broke through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

Meanwhile, Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan who came with him to the Wandering Saint Palace were also cultivating.

Since everyone in the independent mansion they were staying in was cultivating, the atmosphere was tranquil.

At the same time, many figures could be seen outside of Duan Ling Tian’s mansion. These people were patrolling disciples who were sent by Elder Peng Lai to protect Duan Ling Tian and his family.

Time passed quickly. In just a blink of an eye, a year had passed.

At this time, there were three patrolling disciples outside the Wandering Saint Palace’s estate.

One of them was bored and he looked at his companions as he said conspiratorially with a smile, “By the way, both of you should’ve heard of the Azure Cloud Mansion, right?”

“Of course.” One of the two patrolling disciples nodded. “The current territory of the Human-Devil clan used to belong to the Azure Cloud Mansion. In fact, the Human-Devil clan can be considered to be reaping the fruits of their labor!”

“Why did you suddenly bring this up?” The last patrolling disciple asked as he raised an eyebrow.

The patrolling disciple who had started the conversation laughed before he said, “I’m just bored. Recently, when I went out, I managed to obtain the portrait of the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion.”

“The Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion?” The two patrolling disciples were stunned.

After a while, one of them asked in surprise, “The Young Mansion Master shares the same name as our Vice Palace Master, right?”

“Yes!” The patrolling disciple who started the conversation nodded.

“I heard about the Young Mansion Master as well... Rumor has it that he managed to obtain the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, once it appeared. Then, a powerhouse from the Upper Province came and snatched it from him.”

“He’s indeed unlucky,” the other patrolling disciple said.

“You’re right,” the patrolling disciple who started the conversation smiled and put on a mysterious air as he said, “So... Are you interested in seeing what that unlucky person looks like?”

“Since we have nothing better to do now, you might as well show it to us. I want to see the person who managed to obtain the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, even though it was taken away from him later! He used to own it after all,” the other patrolling disciple said eagerly.

“Don’t dawdle! Quickly take it out for us to see!” The last disciple stared at the patrolling disciple who started the conversation and urged him to show them the portrait. However, when he saw the person in the portrait he was thoroughly shocked. He had seen the person in the portrait before.

Meanwhile, the patrolling disciple who started the conversation and the other patrolling disciple continued to converse among themselves.

“This is the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion?”

“Yes.”

“He looks quite handsome...Unfortunately, he’s unlucky.”

You’re right. Anyway, I don’t think we would even be able to see the Devilseal Tablet, let alone owning it or letting it get taken away!”

“That’s true.”

The last patrolling disciple paid no heed to the two disciples’ conversation at all. He stood motionless, dumbstruck.

How...How’s this possible? Apart from sharing the same name, how’s it possible that they look identical? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!’ The patrolling disciple was confused.

“Hey! Huang Zheng, what’re you doing?”

“Wake up! Why are you in a daze?”

The other two had ended their conversation and saw their companion, Huang Zheng, had fallen into a daze.

Huang Zheng trembled for a moment before he regained his senses. With a solemn expression on his face, he questioned the patrolling disciple who started the conversation, “Where did you get this portrait? What makes you think that’s the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?”

“Huang Zheng, are you alright? Why are you being so serious?” The patrolling disciple who started the conversation was bewildered.

“Quickly answer my question!” Huang Zheng ignored his question and urged him to give him an answer. This was an important matter after all.

“I found this portrait somewhere outside... I’m not sure if everyone in the Human-Devil clan has seen this portrait,” the patrolling disciple who started the conversation said in confusion, “I heard people said that this is the portrait of the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion.”

Another patrolling disciple asked curiously as he stared at Huang Zheng and asked, “Huang Zheng, don’t...don’t you tell me you’ve seen the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion before?”

“Huang Zheng, you...you’ve seen the Young Mansion Master before?” The patrolling disciple who started the conversation stared at Huang Zheng with glittering eyes. “If there’s something you know about the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, you have to inform the Great Spirit Palace immediately... You’ll definitely be heavily rewarded!”

“The last disciple of the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace was killed by the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion and another powerhouse. That disciple was extremely favored by the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace!” The patrolling disciple said excitedly.

Huang Zheng said hesitantly, “The person in this portrait... I’ve seen him before...”

Huang Zheng’s words instantly attracted the attention of the two patrolling disciples, and their eyes shone brightly like the stars in the night sky.
