Chapter 5524
- In the Southern Heaven Territory of the Spirit Overarching Heaven.
- The two Nine Palaces Celestial Kings from the Blood Skull Gang had reported back to the organization empty-handed. They did not disclose the fact that it was their fault that Duan Ling Tian escaped. For this reason, the Blood Skull Gang concluded that Duan Ling Tian had died and become a sacrifice to the tree of the Heaven Sacrificial Divine Fruit after being tricked by the reincarnated Celestial Emperor. After arriving at this conclusion, the organization decided to put the mission aside. Mostly, this meant that the case was closed. However, since there was no corpse to serve as evidence, according to protocol, they could only set the case aside instead of officially closing the case. However, if the target suddenly reappeared, they would continue to send people to get the job done no matter what.
- “They can’t set this mission aside. Even if Duan Ling Tian decides to remain in the Jade Emperor Heaven, this mission must continue!” Leng Ye, the Nine Palaces Celestial King from Blood Skull Gang who had let Duan Ling Tian escape twice, said grimly, “However, I can’t say that I met Duan Ling Tian. Not after Zhou Jun and I reported that we couldn’t find Duan Ling Tian in the Jade Emperor Heaven.”
