Chapter 260: Niu Tian's Request
After hearing Lin Qinghan reveal their true identities, both Tai Tan, who was still on the ground, and Niu Tian, standing in front of him, had drastic changes in expression.
But under Lin Qinghan's spiritual pressure, neither of them could move. They could only stare at him in shock.
"Who are you? What is your purpose in approaching Dong'er?"
Niu Tian gritted his teeth under the pressure and struggled to question Lin Qinghan.
It had to be said—Niu Tian and Tai Tan's feelings for Wang Dong'er were genuine. Lin Qinghan was simply issuing a warning now. If it weren't for her relationship with the two spirit beasts, he might have already taken action.
He was, after all, still short a few spirit rings.
"My identity can be found across the continent. Nothing secret about it—I'm just a bit stronger than usual."
Seeing that the two didn't dare to act rashly anymore, Lin Qinghan withdrew his pressure.
Both of them let out a long sigh of relief.
"Now talk. Tell me Dong'er's true identity, and whatever part of the plan you know."
"This..."
Niu Tian looked at him cautiously. But based on Lin Qinghan's words, he understood that Lin Qinghan had already uncovered parts of the truth—he was only asking now to confirm what he knew.
Still, Niu Tian hesitated. After all, he and Tai Tan were merely pawns in that person's grand scheme. They didn't dare to disclose much—and to be honest, they didn't know much either.
"When I got here, I blocked the area. Even someone at the level of a God King can't sense this place from the God Realm."
Lin Qinghan gestured for Niu Tian to calm down. Ever since arriving at the mountain where the Clear Sky Sect was located, he had been projecting illusions at full power.
With his spiritual energy nearly unlimited, his output was terrifying. Based on rough calculations, it would take about one minute of full-force projection to consume all the power of a first-level god.
Under this degree of projection, even if Tang San could scan the Clear Sky Sect from the God Realm, all he would see was the fabricated image created by Lin Qinghan—a projection nearly indistinguishable from reality.
"Really?"
Niu Tian still sounded uncertain. Not because he was cowardly, but because the difference between him and that man was like heaven and earth—utterly irreconcilable.
"Haven't you noticed that you're unable to connect with the God Realm anymore?"
Lin Qinghan sat calmly in his seat, sipping the tea Wang Dong'er had poured earlier.
By the way, this tea was surprisingly good. Even someone like Lin Qinghan, who didn't know tea, could tell it was excellent.
Although the Clear Sky Sect had barely developed over ten thousand years, it had still collected many treasures. Lin Qinghan had already sensed over twenty items equivalent to hundred-thousand-year spirit bones within the sect. There were even three actual hundred-thousand-year soul bones.
"Brother, I really can't connect to the God Realm anymore."
Tai Tan tried first and looked to his elder brother, Niu Tian, in surprise.
"Yeah, I felt it too. Just like before, the connection's been severed."
Niu Tian activated the divine mark in his hand repeatedly, but nothing happened. There was no response at all.
"Since you want to know and you're Dong'er's partner—and we clearly can't overpower you—we'll tell you what we can."
Realizing Lin Qinghan truly had overwhelming power, Niu Tian knew there was no room to hide anything anymore.
If they tried to conceal anything, Lin Qinghan likely wouldn't just walk away.
Even if he wouldn't kill them—thanks to Wang Dong'er—they'd probably still be due for a painful lesson.
Besides, with their link to the God Realm cut and their loyalty to Tang San not particularly deep, Niu Tian and Tai Tan were now willing to tell Lin Qinghan the truth.
"What I'm about to say is the truth. First of all—Dong'er is actually the daughter of Tang San, the one who ascended to the God Realm ten thousand years ago!"
Niu Tian spoke slowly and heavily. Tang San had told them not to share this information, but at this point, there was no other choice.
What surprised Niu Tian, however, was Lin Qinghan's complete lack of reaction.
Lin Qinghan remained calm, sipping the last of his tea. Then, without any urgency, he refilled his own cup.
"But Tang San's daughter was called Tang Wutong. Which means Wang Dong'er isn't exactly a complete reincarnation."
Seeing that even such explosive news didn't shock Lin Qinghan, Niu Tian grew bolder.
He proceeded to share everything he knew, as well as his best guesses—and when it came to Tang San, there was even some resentment in his tone.
"So, given your strength and abilities, I want to ask you for a favor."
After pouring out all his information, Niu Tian felt a weight lift off his chest. Then, with emotion in his voice, he turned the topic toward Wang Dong'er.
"Please... save Dong'er!"
His voice trembled slightly. It was clear that his feelings for Wang Dong'er were completely genuine. Otherwise, he wouldn't be entrusting her life to Lin Qinghan, who had just crushed them with ease.
In Niu Tian's view, Lin Qinghan's talent and fortune far surpassed Tang San's from ten thousand years ago. Given time, Lin Qinghan could outshine every god in the God Realm.
But that was exactly why he wouldn't be given that time—Tang San, now a God King, would definitely try to eliminate him the moment he found out Lin Qinghan existed.
And right now, the only person who had the power to save Wang Dong'er... was Lin Qinghan.
To Niu Tian, his niece Tang Wutong had already died the moment Tang San split her soul.
Wang Dong'er was born with half of Tang Wutong's spirit—making her a completely new being. If she was merged back with the other half, she'd surely die.
And once you included Wang Qiu'er in the equation... then Tang San's plan would mean sacrificing three innocent girls.
