Chapter 2497 - Yun Qing Yan

2497 Yun Qing Yan

Ke’er cried out angrily, “Yun Qing Yan, stop it!” The gentle expression on her face had disappeared and was replaced with a furious expression as she stood next to Duan Ling Tian. She looked at Duan Ling Tian tenderly and affectionately, but when she looked at the newcomer, her eyes were as cold as ice.

“Ke’er...” Duan Ling Tian did not know who the newcomer was. He wondered how the newcomer was so strong. When he heard Ke’er’s furious cry, he was shocked. This was his first time seeing her so angry. Naturally, he knew her anger stemmed from her love for him. He could not help but feel warm in his heart.

Suddenly, a thought appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. “T-that person seemed to have addressed Ke’er as his cousin... I-is he...”

There was something Duan Ling Tian had buried in the depth of his heart and refused to think about. It was the fact that Ke’er was a reincarnated goddess.

According to Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, not only was Ke’er a reincarnated goddess, but she also had a cousin who seemed to have ambiguous intentions toward her. Her cousin was most likely a powerhouse from a Devata Realm.

Although Duan Ling Tian possessed extraordinary strength now, he knew he was no match for the mighty Celestials from the Devata Realms. Those Golden Celestials or stronger could easily kill him. Based on Tang Xuan’s words, it was clear Ke’er’s cousin from her past life was not your run-of-the-mill Celestial.

‘Ke’er seems to know his name... He’s most likely that person!’ It seems like Ke’er had regained her memories about her cousin but neglected to inform Duan Ling Tian about it. Naturally, he understood that Ke’er had kept this from him because she did not want to worry him.

The voice that seemed to have come from all directions rang in the air again. “It seems like you’ve regained your memories, cousin. At the very least, you remember me.”

Ke’er stared ahead with her limpid eyes before a figure suddenly appeared.

The figure belonged to an azure-clad young man. He was handsome, muscular, and tall. His dark green hair fell loosely on his back, untied. A wicked smile seemed to be permanently etched on his face.

The azure-clad young man’s wicked smile and handsome appearance would definitely be a lethal combination for young girls who had just learned about love.

At this moment, the azure-clad young man was staring intently at Ke’er.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed greatly when he noticed the azure-clad young man’s intense stare toward Ke’er. Without paying mind to his safety, he moved at blinding speed and planted himself between the azure-clad young man and Ke’er. He was truly worried the azure-clad young man would hurt Ke’er. At this moment, he was only driven by instinct to protect his wife. He seemed to have forgotten he was no match for the azure-clad young man at all. Just a few moments ago, he had been grievously injured by the azure-clad young man before the azure-clad young man had even appeared.

“Hm?” As soon as Duan Ling Tian stood in front of Ke’er, shielding her, the azure-clad young man’s expression turned icy before it darkened. His body instantly emitted a strong killing intent. He spoke in a tone so cold that it seemed to cause the surroundings’ temperature to drop. “To think that you’d come to me before I go looking for you... You’re seeking death!”

In the next moment, the void around Duan Ling Tian seemed to have shattered like glass even though the azure-clad young man did not seem to move. Duan Ling Tian began to sway on his feet, it seemed like he was about to collapse at any moment. He felt a domineering energy surrounding him from all directions. His energy was completely suppressed. A sense of danger quickly rose in his heart.

“Elementary Devouring Tactic! Sword formation! Thirteen Green Lotus Swords!” Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate as he quickly cast all the techniques in his arsenal to break free from this shackle.

“How... How’s this possible?!” It did not take long before Duan Ling Tian discovered that the assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, was being suppressed and nullified by the energy that surrounded him. Since he could not cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic, how could he absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his surroundings to raise his strength?

‘H-how’s he so strong?!’ Duan Ling Tian discovered he could not unleash his other techniques as well. At this moment, he felt as though he was standing at death’s door.

This feeling intensified as the azure-clad young man said coldly, “You’re seeking death!”

The moment the azure-clad young man’s voice faded, waves after waves of destructive energy pressed down on Duan Ling Tian, seemingly capable of killing him at any time.

At this moment, Ke’er cried out, “Yun Qing Yan! If you kill Brother Tian, I won’t live as well!” She said this in a tone that brooked no arguments. “You should know you won’t be able to stop me if I want to die.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened in fear and his expression changed when he heard Ke’er’s words. He said with great difficulty, “Ke’er!” He had never felt so helpless before. Although his strength could be considered as the strongest in the mundane realms, he was still powerless before this azure-clad young man. Even if the azure-clad young man did not kill him now, he still would not feel happy.

The azure-clad young man, Ke’er’s cousin, Yun Qing Yan, stood still with a darkened expression on his face. The aura he emitted was sinister. “Cousin, you’ll throw away your life for this vermin?”

Yun Qing Yan’s attention was solely focused on Ke’er at this moment. His eyes were filled with jealousy when he spoke. Underneath that jealousy was killing intent. Naturally, that killing intent was directed at Duan Ling Tian, not Ke’er.

Ke’er said coldly, “He’s no vermin, he’s my husband!”

“Your husband...” Yun Qing Yang’s eyes widened in anger when he heard Ke’er’s words. His expression turned even darker, and his killing intent was so strong that it would make one’s hair stand on ends. He said grimly, “Cousin, I’d like to remind you that we have a marriage agreement. Since he became your husband before you regained your memories, if he dies today, I’ll overlook everything that happened between you and him. After all, I would have no quarrel with a dead man!” He truly did not expect this result after years and years of his meticulous planning.

Ke’er scoffed. “Marriage agreement? Yun Qing Yan, if I’m not mistaken, when I died in my past life, our marriage agreement had been dissolved. In my current life, I have no relations with you at all!”

Yun Qing Yang asked in a deep voice, “Cousin, why do you hate me so much? Why won’t you be with me?”

“I’ve told you this in my past life, I only see you as an older brother. However, you could not accept it and destroyed everything we had. You made me give up life so I didn’t have to marry you. Even after I reincarnated, you meddled and placed me in this mundane realm, sending someone to keep an eye on me. Unfortunately, you didn’t expect that even with your meticulous planning, you still failed!” Ke’er said.

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian realized Ke’er had died in her past life because of Yun Qing Yang. She had died so she did not have to marry Yun Qing Yan. However, Yun Qing Yan meddled and placed Ke’er in the Mundane Realm after she had been reincarnated. It was not difficult to figure out that the person Yun Qing Yang had sent to keep an eye on Ke’er was Tang Xuan, the former Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect!
