4593 Ke’er Regains Consciousness
During the Duan clan’s meeting, the high-ranking officials voted and agreed to accept the Azure Cloud Saint Sect’s invitation to move to the sect’s territory. After all, the other party’s offer was too generous.
However, before the Duan clan could speak to Guo Lin, the Saint from the Azure Cloud Saint Sect, an old man from the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion appeared and stopped them.
“Guo Lin, you brat, how dare you trespass into our territory?”
A powerful voice echoed throughout the Duan clan’s estate. The owner of the voice was none other than Meng Han. He had rushed over here with Xiao Tian Ci. He sounded extremely hostile when he spoke, and he extended his Divine Consciousness from a distance, pressuring Guo Lin.
“Guo Lin greets Elder Meng,” Guo Lin quickly said, shocked. He had been focused on luring the Duan clan to the Azure Cloud Saint Sect, hoping to ingratiate himself with Duan Ling Tian. He did not expect Meng Han would personally come to stop him.
Initially, Guo Lin did not think that the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion would care if the Duan clan moved away. After all, the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion now had a level-seven supreme powerhouse. In his opinion, the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion might not care to establish a relationship with Duan Ling Tian through a clan that did not even have a demi Saint. After all, he paid great attention to this matter because the Azure Cloud Saint Sect did not have a level-seven supreme powerhouse yet.
“Guo Lin, does Little Zhao know you trespass on our territory and undermine our authority?” Meng Han asked coldly.
Guo Lin smiled sheepishly and said, “Elder Meng, it’s an exaggeration to say that I’m undermining the authority of the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion. I’m only here because Lord Duan told me to take care of the Duan clan. I only came to extend an invitation to the clan. If they’re not willing, I naturally will not force it. The Duan clan doesn’t even have a demi Saint. I’m sure the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion doesn’t lack such a clan, right?”
In the past, Guo Lin did not dare to act presumptuously in front of Meng Han, let alone now when Meng Han was already a level-seven supreme powerhouse.
Meanwhile, some members of the Duan clan who recognized Xiao Tian Ci finally saw him standing behind Meng Han.
“Lord Xiao?!”
Seeing Xiao Tian Ci standing behind Meng Han, coupled with Guo Lin’s words, it was not difficult for them to figure out Meng Han’s identity. It did not take long for them to realize that the old man in front of them was the first and only level-seven supreme powerhouse from the Outer Boundary after the historical gap.
The Clan Leader and the high-ranking officials of the Duan clan were shocked. They did not expect such a venerable figure to come to their clan. Moreover, it seemed like the other party came because of the Azure Cloud Saint Sect’s invitation. Was it possible that the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion wanted them to stay? They did not think it was likely. After all, just like Guo Lin said, the Duan clan did not even have a demi Saint. Moreover, now that the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion had a level-seven supreme powerhouse, it did not need to curry favor with Duan Ling Tian.
In any case, they quickly greeted Meng Han when they recovered from their shock.
“Greetings, Lord Meng!”
Meng Han smiled amiably and nodded at the members of the Duan clan. However, his expression quickly darkened when he shifted his gaze back to Guo Lin. He said, “What gives you the impression that the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion doesn’t care about the Duan clan even if they no longer have a demi Saint? You said that Brother Duan told you to look after the Duan clan? What makes you think Brother Duan didn’t say the same thing to me?”
In fact, Duan Ling Tian did not directly ask Meng Han to look after the Duan clan. Duan Ling Tian had only asked Xiao Tian Ci to look after the Duan clan.
Guo Lin smiled wryly when he realized that Meng Han had no intention of letting the Duan clan move. He shook his head and said, “Elder Meng, if you’re against it, I’ll withdraw the invitation immediately.” Then, he looked at the Clan Leader of the Duan clan and said, “Clan Leader Duan, since the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion wants your clan to stay, you should stay. The Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion will definitely look after you since Lord Duan has also spoken to Elder Meng. However, if you ever need help from the Azure Cloud Saint Sect, please don’t hesitate to come to me.”
After the Clan Leader of the Duan clan responded, Guo Lin bade farewell to Meng Han and left. After all, he could not afford to provoke Meng Han.
Meng Han turned to look at the members of the Duan clan and smiled amiably as he said, “The Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion can also give you what he promised you. If you need help in the future, you can always look for the person behind me. I’m sure you’re all familiar with Xiao Tian Ci, the Palace Master of the Golden Dragon Palace.”
If this had happened before Meng Han sparred with Duan Ling Tian in the God Defying World, perhaps he would not have cared that Guo Lin invited the Duan clan to move the Azure Cloud Saint Sect’s territory. After all, as a level-seven supreme powerhouse, there was no need for him to curry favor with Duan Ling Tian through a small clan.
However, after Meng Han sparred with Duan Ling Tian, he found that he was no match for Duan Ling Tian at all. He was also slightly weaker than Feng Qing Yang. In a real battle, even if Feng Qing Yang could defeat him, he was confident that he would be able to retreat if necessary without suffering serious injuries. However, in a real battle with Duan Ling Tian, it would be difficult for him to escape from Duan Ling Tian without suffering serious injuries.
Xiao Tian Ci was also shocked by Meng Han’s reaction. In fact, before he looked for Meng Han, he assumed that Meng Han would not care much if the Duan clan moved away. It was out of his expectations that Meng Han would actually personally intervene and stop the Duan clan from leaving.
Meanwhile, the members of the Duan clan quickly expressed their gratitude to Meng Han.
“Thank you, Lord Meng!”
Before Meng Han left, he told Xiao Tian Ci to stay behind to find out what Guo Lin had promised the Duan clan since the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion would fulfill the promise.
Xiao Tian Ci’s expression was slightly complicated when he looked at the members of the Duan clan. The Duan clan was truly lucky. Although they had lost their demi Saint, they had Duan Ling Tian, who was their demi Saint’s sworn brother. With this, the status of the Duan clan would be even higher than that of when their demi Saint was still alive.
…
Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of what happened. A month after he returned to the God Defying World, Ke’er finally regained consciousness.
“Ke’er!”
Duan Ling Tian quickly entered his Little World.
Under the Divine Tree of Life, Duan Ling Tian looked at Ke’er who had just opened her eyes. His gaze was filled with love and affection as he looked at her.
