Chapter 3328: An Old Friend

Duan Ling Tian decided to act after five days had pa.s.sed because he estimated that the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor and the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor would arrive at the location he lured them to at that time. Once they arrived at the place he designated, it would take them at least five or six days to rush back to the Heavenly Pool Palace.

“Alright, I’ll convey your message to them and speak to them. They’ll definitely cooperate since this is a golden opportunity for all of us,” the old woman replied as her eyes flashed near the end of her words. This was the best chance for them to regain their freedom. After all, even if they failed, they would only be thrown back into prison.

“That’s great.” Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief inwardly when the old woman agreed to speak to the other five t.i.tled Celestial Emperor. Otherwise, if he had to speak to them individually and teach them the way to break the Formation, he would have to expend a lot of effort and waste a lot of time. After a moment, his expression turned solemn as he reminded the old woman, “Senior, when you convey my message to the others, please tell them to be patient. The reason we need to wait five days is to make sure the Verdant Prairie Celestial Emperor and the Howling Heaven Celestial Emperor won’t be able to rush back in time to help the Heavenly Pool Palace.”

“Don’t worry,” the old woman replied, “Those five have been imprisoned here much longer compared to me. If I can wait for five days, I’m sure they’ll be able to wait as well.”

Following that, Duan Ling Tian no longer spoke to the old woman through Voice Transmission.

After inspecting the third floor, Elder Xie said with a smile, “The Formation here is working as it should. We’ll spend the next four months here before we switch to a different floor… Since there’s nothing much to do for now, we can use the time to cultivate…”

After the old man finished speaking, he walked to the area near the stairs before he sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

Duan Ling Tian followed suit and took a seat next to the old man before he closed his eyes as though he was cultivating. After a few moments, he opened his eyes that flashed with complex emotions as he thought to himself, ‘Five days…’

In five days, the six t.i.tled Celestial Emperors would break the Formation here and escape. The Formation in the square would also be broken at that time. During the chaos, he would bring Huan’er’s parents away from this place.

‘When the time comes, I should release the other prisoners as well if it’s possible. After all, the more chaotic it is, the higher the chances of us escaping.’

At the end of his thought, Duan Ling Tian sent another Voice Transmission to the old woman. “Senior, have you conveyed my message to the others?”

“Have a look.”

Duan Ling Tian instinctively turned to look. He saw five t.i.tled Celestial Emperors had come out from the depths of their cells and were staring at him at this moment. Even the aloof young man who had been missing earlier was present. There was a slightly obese old man whom he had not seen prior to this as well. Only one of them was missing at this moment.

The old woman sent Duan Ling Tian a message at this moment. “Boy, what’s your name?”

Duan Ling Tian replied, “Senior, my name is Duan Ling Tian.”

Following that, the old woman introduced herself. “I’m Xue Jin Hua, the Golden Flower Celestial Emperor.”

Following that, the old woman began to introduce the others to Duan Ling Tian. She started with the old man with disheveled white hair. “The old man on the left is Ke Bai Lu. He’s not human but a Celestial Beast. Despite his t.i.tle, the White Deer Celestial Emperor, his true form is actually that of a wolf.”

Then, the old woman introduced the other t.i.tled Celestial Emperors. “That muscular baldy is Teng Xiong Ba, the Swirling Cloud Celestial Emperor. As for that fat old man, he’s Ma Chi, the Thunder Hurricane Celestial Emperor. Due to his t.i.tle, most people are under the a.s.sumption that he comprehended the law of thunder, but just like the rest of us, he comprehended the law of earth. If he didn’t comprehend the law of earth, he would’ve been killed by You Feng Yu.”

The old woman paused briefly as she looked at the aloof young man.

The young man’s aura was so cold that Duan Ling Tian felt as though he was in an ice cave.

The old woman’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind at this moment. “Similar to Ke Bai Lu, the young man isn’t human. His name is Xuan Bing, the Profound Ice Celestial Emperor. He’s a Profound Ice Flower that lived in the frost for 1,000,000 years. His strength is only second to that person who has yet to emerge from the depths of his cell. Not only did he master the law of earth, but he has also mastered the law of ice. His comprehension of the law of ice is higher than his comprehension of the law of earth, but it’s the law of earth that allowed him to live.”

When Duan Ling Tian instinctively turned to look at the young man, the young man nodded slightly before he smiled awkwardly.

After Duan Ling Tian s.h.i.+fted his gaze away from the young man, he asked curiously, “Senior, how does the strongest person among the six of you fare against You Feng Yu?”

The old woman replied, “You Feng Yu… isn’t a match for the person…”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened imperceptibly. He asked in confusion, “You Feng Yu isn’t a match for him? Then, how did he end up being imprisoned in the Thousand Chains Prison?”

“He’s highly skilled in defense while You Feng Yu is skilled in offense. However, his offensive strength isn’t bad. If both of them fought fairly, he’d only need a day and a night to defeat You Feng Yu. Alas, at that time, before he could defeat You Feng Yu, the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven arrived just in a nick of time to help You Feng Yu. Since the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless had intervened, he was captured in the end.”

“He’s so powerful?” Duan Ling Tian inhaled sharply. He did not expect the person who had yet to show himself was stronger than You Feng Yu, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace.

The old woman continued to say, “Speaking of which, both of you are rather similar…”

“Why do you say that?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.

“He had come to the Heavenly Pool Palace to rescue people as well. He had tried persuading Heavenly Pool Palace to release the prisoner, but the Heavenly Pool Palace refused him. Therefore, he was left with no choice but to use force. When You Feng Yu discovered he was no match for him, You Feng Yu asked the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven for help. Even with the help from the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven, it took a lot of effort just to capture and imprison him here in the Thousand Chains Prison,” the woman said as she shook her head, “It’s too bad he only comprehended the law of earth. If he had comprehended an offensive law as well, he would’ve been able to break free from this place.”

The law of earth’s defenses were so strong that even the Four Supreme Laws could not compare to it. However, its offensive power and speed were really lacking compared to the other laws.

The woman continued to say, “He’s much stronger than Meng Chuan. In fact, his strength is comparable to Meng Chuan’s older brother, Meng Luo, the Heavenly Savage Celestial Emperor.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed with curiosity when he heard the old woman’s words.

At this moment, the old woman suddenly said, “He’s coming out now…”

Duan Ling Tian instinctively turned to look at the cell that held the mysterious t.i.tled Celestial Emperor. Soon enough, he saw a young man dressed in a white long robe. His bearing was extraordinary, and his sword-like brows made him look heroic.

Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he saw the young man’s appearance. He was acquainted with the young man after all.

“B-brother Pei?!”

The young man was none other than Pei Yuan Ji, the person who had loaned him the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring in the past!
