<h4>Chapter 2552 Ke’er’s Influence</h4>


    Duan Ling Tian did not speak very loudly, but due to the energy he had infused into his voice, everyone in Sin City, humans and Devils alike, heard him loud and clear.


    The entire ce fell silent for just a slight moment before the humans broke out in an uproar.


    “Duan Ling Tian is making a move! He is finally making a move!”


    “There is no difference between him or his wife making a move.”


    “After Duan Ling Tian’s wife killed the dragon n’s patriarch who was a Nine Tribtion Bodiless Celestial, I’ve been waiting for them to chase the Devil ns away. Now, they are finally making their moves!”


    “The dragon n’s patriarch was a Nine Tribtion Bodiless Celestial, but he didn’t attempt to drive the Devil ns away. I’m certain there are Nine Tribtion Bodiless Celestials in the Devil ns as well.”


    “Of course! I heard about it from the Devils!”


    “What era is this? Not only are there monstrous prodigies like Duan Ling Tian and his wife, but even the dragon n and Devil ns have Nine Tribtion Bodiless Celestials.”


    “Duan Ling Tian’s challenging the strongest powerhouse in the Devil ns? I think he’s only helping his wife to challenge the powerhouse!”


    “I agree. I have a friend from the dragon n. He said Duan Ling Tian wasn’t strong enough to defeat their patriarch. It was his wife who killed the patriarch.”


    The people who had heard Duan Ling Tian’s announcement began to discuss among themselves. Most of them thought Duan Ling Tian was only challenging the strongest powerhouse from the Devil ns on his wife’s behalf. They were certain of this since it was his wife who had killed the patriarch of the dragon n, not him. How could they know that his wife had already left the Saint Province Realm and would not be returning for at least 1,000 years?


    On the other hand, the Devils who had heard Duan Ling Tian’s announcement were shocked. Their expressions changed drastically. They had heard of his wife’s strength, and they knew she had easily killed the patriarch of the dragon n who was Nine Tribtion Bodiless Celestial. The strongest powerhouses in the Devil ns were also Nine Tribtion Bodiless Celestials simr to the patriarch of the dragon n.


    “Hells! It’s Duan Ling Tian!”


    “This means Duan Ling Tian’s wife will be making a move, right?”


    “I’ve always been worried about this. It seems like the day hase.”


    Previously, when news spread about Duan Ling Tian’s wife killing the patriarch of the dragon n, it caused a hugemotion in the Saint Province Realm. Initially, the Devils did not put much stock in the rumors. However, as more evidence was revealed, they had no choice but to believe it! Currently, all the Devils knew there was a cultivator stronger than Nine Tribtion Bodiless Celestials in the Saint Province Realm. Moreover, she was the wife of Duan Ling Tian.


    “Since Duan Ling Tian ising for us, what can we do to defend ourselves?”


    “Even the strongest among us is no match for his wife, right?”


    The Devil ns were panicking at this moment. In fact, some of the cowardly Devils had even left for the Exiled Realm that was also known as the Land of Exile to the people in the Saint Province Realm.


    Naturally, there were many that stayed back in the Saint Province Realm, they were reluctant to leave. Therefore, they remained hopeful and decided to stay back. Who could me them? After all, the Saint Province Realm was like heavenpared to the Land of Exile. Not only was the Saint Province Realm rich in Heaven and Spirit Energy, but it also had many types of cultivation resources. Moreover, the top powerhouses in the Devil ns had no inclination to leave so they could only stay and soldier on.


    After a long time had passed, they had forgotten about Duan Ling Tian. However, he appeared out of the blue today with a shocking challenge to the strongest Devil in the Devil ns. The danger felt almost palpable to them, and they thought it was over for the powerhouse who would have to meet Duan Ling Tian! After all, they knew his wife had easily killed the patriarch of the dragon n who was a Nine Tribtion Bodiless Celestial.


    ...


    15 dayster. Above a peaceful cier that had been there for 10,000 years. The tranquility of the ce was suddenly broken!


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sound of wind whistling rang in the air. Several swift figures zoomed in from different directions. They were moving so fast that they left void tears in their wake.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    In just a blink of an eye, seven figures appeared in the sky above the cier. They came to a halt in unison as though they had nned it in advance.


    A middle-aged man dressed in a green robe nced at everyone with a cold expression on his face. He was not putting on any airs, it was just the way he was. His face had always been expressionless, giving him an unapproachable aura. “Did all of youe because of Duan Ling Tian’s challenge to Master Wu Ji?”


    “Yes.”


    “That’s correct.”


    “That’s right.”


    The six remaining figures nodded in assent.


    Bang!


    Soon after, a loud explosion rang from beneath them. Following that, they saw the cier beneath them seemed to have cracked. Many terrifying cracks rapidly spread all over the ce.


    Boom!


    It did not take long before another explosion sounded and the cier broke into pieces and sank into the cold water, creating sshes.


    “What brought all of you here?” A cold voice that seemed to resound from all directions rang in the air at this moment, making it difficult for one to determine where the speaker was.


    Seven of them trembled slightly when they heard the voice. They quickly bowed respectfully as soon as they saw an old man who seemed to have appeared out of thin air.


    “Master Wu Ji!”


    If other Devils were here, they would be shocked to see these seven Devils acting so deferentially. After all, these seven Devils had high positions in the Devil ns! All of them were Eight Tribtion Bodiless Celestials! How could the others not feel shocked if they saw seven Eight Tribtion Bodiless Celestials bowing respectfully at an old man!


    The old man had a medium build. His appearance was so ordinary that one would have a hard time picking him out from a sea of people. Despite that, hemanded such respect from the Devil ns’ Eight Tribtion Bodiless Celestials. Based on this, it was easy to tell that the old man was the only Nine Tribtion Bodiless Celestial in the Devil ns!


    “Duan Ling Tian wants to fight with me in half a month’s time?” The indifferent expression on Wu Ji’s, the old man, face darkened instantly when he learned about the challenge Duan Ling Tian had issued. The old man stared at the seven Devils intently before he asked in a deep voice, “Did he say I’ll be fighting him or his wife?” This was an important question. There was a huge difference between fighting Duan Ling Tian and fighting Duan Ling Tian’s wife.


    Wu Ji was, naturally, aware of what had happened in the dragon n’s estate back then. He had learned that Duan Ling Tian’s strength was on par with Nine Tribtion Bodiless Celestial. Even if Duan Ling Tian unleashed all his strength, he still could not defeat a Nine Tribtion Bodiless Celestial. It was his wife who had easily killed the patriarch of the dragon n!


    If Wu Ji were to fight Duan Ling Tian, he was confident the fight would end in a draw. After all, his strength was evenly-matched with the patriarch of the dragon n. However, if he were to fight with Duan Ling Tian’s wife, he did not think he would stand a chance to win at all. After all, even the patriarch of the dragon n who was as strong as him had been killed by her in just a blink of an eye!


    “He only said he wants to fight you, Master Wu Ji. He did not say if his wife will be fighting in his ce,” one of the Eight Tribtion Bodiless Celestials said as the others nodded.


    Wu Ji, the old man, looked at them and asked, “What do all of you think about this?”


    Although Wu Ji, a Nine Tribtion Bodiless Celestial, was the strongest powerhouse in the Devil ns, he usually did not interfere in the ns’ matters. He only focused on his cultivation as he waited for the tenth Bodiless Celestial Tribtion. He would only assist when the Devil ns needed help. To him, there was no difference between staying in the Saint Province Realm or the Exiled Realm.


    “We’re at a loss as well. It all depends on you, Master Wu Ji. It’ll be a huge risk for you if you ept the challenge and Duan Ling Tian’s wife ends up being the challenger,” another Eight Tribtion Bodiless Celestial from the Devil ns added.


    “Yes.” Another Eight Tribtion Bodiless Celestial agreed. “You’ll put yourself in danger if you ept the challenge. I can’t speak for the others, but I don’t think you should ept the challenge. You’re the backbone of the Devil ns, we can’t afford to lose you!”
