Chapter 2557: Xia Jie’s Token

"You could've easily run away and saved your own life..." Duan Ling Tian looked at the old man in front of him curiously.

"If I intend on doing that, I wouldn't have come today." The old man had lost his composure earlier. Currently, his expression had turned rather unsightly as he forced a smile on his face. "I was under the assumption that your wife would accompany you. I've confirmed that her strength is comparable to a Golden Celestial from the Devata Realms."

"So, you didn't run away for the sake of your clansmen?" Duan Ling Tian asked indifferently.

"Yes..." The elder did not bother to hide his intention.

"Based on your strength, once you successfully overcome the tenth Bodiless Celestial Tribulation, you'll be able to ascend to a Devata Realm. You're so close to your ascension, is it really worth throwing it all away for the sake of your clansmen?" Duan Ling Tian asked again.

"It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not… They're my kin!" The old man replied.
