Pal, Ive let you down regarding Little Wus incident! Li An instantly apologized with a guilty expression on his face when saw the travel-weary Yang Chong.
Yang Chong was an old man with an ordinary appearance and a huge built. His hair and eyebrows were white. He looked like a looming pagoda as he stood there.
He shook his head when he heard Li Ans apology. I understand your difficulty. If I were you, I wouldve done the same. For this reason, I dont blame you for Little Wus death!
He had learned about what happened from the old servant that followed by his sons side, and he could understand Li Ans actions. If Li An had intervened more than he already did, it would cause an even bigger incident.
Since this would affect the Fire Worship Sects reputation, the high-ranking officials of the Fire Worship Sect would likely expel Li An to save the sects reputation. For this reason, he understood why Li An acted the way he did.
Li An felt even more guilty when he saw how understanding Yang Chong was. His gaze was cold as he said sincerely, Dont worry, Ill definitely avenge Little Wu!
However, Yang Chong did not seem to hear Li Ans words. He only looked at Li An and said indifferently, Bring me to see the person who killed my son.
Alright. Li An was not surprised that Yang Chong wanted to see Duan Ling Tian. He instantly led Yang Chong to where Duan Ling Tian was.
Although Yang Chong had said he did not blame Li An for this incident, when Li An saw Yang Chong keeping mum, he knew Yang Chong must have blamed him a little at the very least.
This was only natural, so Li An was not worried about it.
Duan Ling Tian had also killed someone I was planning to accept as a disciple ten days ago. I wont be able to rest as long as hes alive! Li An suddenly said in a deep voice as his eyes gleamed with murderous intent.
Li An had suddenly spoken because he wanted to break the ice. Moreover, he really did hate Duan Ling Tian.
You were planning to accept a direct disciple? As Li An expected, as soon as Yang Chong heard his words, he turned to look at Li An in confusion. From what he knew, Li An had very high requirements when accepting disciples. The three disciples he had accepted possessed blue Innate Spiritual Roots.
Yes. Li An nodded before he told Yang Chong about Gu Chun and his cousin, Gu Long, and how Gu Long was also killed by Duan Ling Tian.
When he finished speaking, his eyes shone with killing intent. The aura emitting out of his body was extremely cold as well, causing the temperature in the surroundings to drop by several degrees.
Im even more curious now. Whos so daring to offend First Silver Flame Elder Li An from the Black Turtle Sanctum to this extent? One must admit that Li Ans complaints had made Yang Chong feel better.
As it turned out, his son was not the only one who was killed by this person. Even the person whom Li An desperately wanted to accept as a disciple since he possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root was killed by this person as well.
For this reason, at this moment, Yang Chong felt a sense of camaraderie with Li An. The small bit of dissatisfaction he felt in his heart disappeared immediately.
Did you hear? Duan Ling Tian struck again after killing Gu Long ten day ago! As Li An and Yang Chong made their way to the altar of the Black Turtle Sanctum, they suddenly heard a Black Turtle Sanctums disciple exclaiming loudly.
Li An and Yang Chong were flying high in the sky, therefore nobody on the ground noticed them at all. Otherwise, the Black Turtle Sanctums disciples by the altar would have come forward to greet Li An.
Duan Ling Tian? Li An and Yang Chong exchanged a look before they came to a halt to listen to the conversation.
Are you talking about how Duan Ling Tian challenged Senior Brother Zhang Ji and successfully claimed a Secundus house after defeating him?
Thats right! It seems youve heard about it as well!
How could I not? Currently, almost every Black Turtle Sanctums disciple whos not in closed-door cultivation has heard about it.
Duan Ling Tian is really strong. To think hes even able to defeat Zhang Ji too!
The conversation of the Black Turtle Sanctums disciples entered Li An and Yang Chongs ears clearly.
Secundus house?
Yang Chongs eyes narrowed immediately.
Although he was not a member of the Fire Worship Sect, since he was best friends with Li An, he knew the ins and outs of the Fire Worship Sect.
Based on what he knew, the Black Turtle Sanctums disciples who resided in Secundus houses were mostly at the Quintessential Saint Stage and above!
Li An, didnt you say Duan Ling Tians strength ten days ago is only the strongest among Martial Cultivators at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage? Only ten days have passed, but hes already capable of competing for a Secundus house? Yang Chong asked with a frown as he looked at Li An.
He did not wait for Li An to reply before he continued saying, I remember you told me that Secundus houses in the Black Turtle Sanctum are for Quintessential Saint Stage disciples! Is Zhang Ji a Quintessential Saint Stage disciple living in the Secundus house?
Li An did not reply to him after he finished speaking.
To Yang Chongs surprise, he saw Li An had an expression of terror and disbelief on his face.
Whats wrong? Yang Chong could not help but ask when he saw this.
Zhang Ji is a direct disciple of one of the Silver Flame Elders in our Black Turtle Sanctum. Hes an elite powerhouse among all Early Quintessential Saint Stage disciples in our Black Turtle Sanctum. Hes only a step away from breaking through to the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage! Li An answered solemnly.
An elite powerhouse among all Early Quintessential Saint Stage disciples in the Black Turtle Sanctum? Such a person is defeated by Duan Ling Tian? Yang Chong was puzzled.
However, the most shocking news had yet to come.
I heard that during the battle, Senior Brother Zhang Ji had cast the high-grade offensive Divine Ability, the Cyclopean Punch. Even then, hes still defeated! When Li An heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Hows this possible?! He exclaimed.
He had cast a high-grade offensive Divine Ability, but hes defeated by Duan Ling Tian? Yang Chongs expression turned grave as he muttered, It seems like Duan Ling Tian did not use all his strength when he fought with Gu Long ten days ago!
In the end, Li An and Yang Chong learned about everything that had happened that day between Duan Ling Tian and Zhang Ji.
In the end, when they looked at each other, they could see the confusion in each others eyes.
Duan Ling Tian had actually mastered three high-grade Divine Abilities?
Not only that, the high-grade assist-type Divine Ability that Duan Ling Tian mastered had absorbed the powerful energy that Zhang Ji unleashed at the critical moment? Moreover, he had fused his own energy with Zhang Jis energy and counterattacked, severely injuring Zhang Ji and defeating him.
What kind of assist-type Divine Ability is that? Li An and Yang Chong exchanged a glance. They were still shocked. Both of them had never heard of such a Divine Ability.
What a tyrannical assist-type Divine Ability! Yang Chong remarked in a deep voice.
Its indeed tyrannical! What did Duan Ling Tian do to deserve such blessings from God? Not only did he comprehend three high-grade Divine Abilities, but his assist-type Divine Ability is not even a normal high-grade Divine Ability! Li Ans eyes were red with jealousy when he finished speaking.
At the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctums disciples.
Inside the Secundus house, Duan Ling Tian who had recuperated for a while finally had the strength to stand up.
After he stood up, he immediately entered the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. He planned to utilize the slow time flow inside to recover his Sun Saint Energy.
The empty feeling in his body made him feel insecure.
After I recover, Ill go into closed-door cultivation and raise my cultivation base to the peak of the Divine Saint Stage first before planning on what to do next!
As for now, Duan Ling Tian did not dare to think about the Exemplary Saint Stage. Currently, his cultivation base had only broken through to the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage.
Duan Ling Tian! Duan Ling Tian did not know how long it had been but when the Sun Saint Energy in his body had recovered by about 10%, a cold voice rang from outside his house, jolting him awake.
Li An? Duan Ling Tian was no stranger to this voice. He could tell it belonged to the Black Turtle Sanctums First Silver Flame Elder Li An.
Whats he doing here? Dont tell me Zhang Ji has some kind of connection with him as well? Duan Ling Tian frowned and exited the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
After putting away the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, he pushed the door open and walked out into the little courtyard of the Secundus house.
As soon as he walked out, he could feel many eyes trained on him. Two pairs of eyes in particular felt hostile and was filled with killing intent.
Whos he? Duan Ling Tian looked at Li An before he shifted his attention to an old man with a huge-built standing next to Li An. A puzzled expression appeared on his face.
He did not find it strange that Li An was looking at him with murderous intent. However, he was certain this was his first time meeting this old man. Moreover, the old man was not even wearing the Fire Worship Sects uniform. This meant he was not a member of the Fire Worship Sect.
Duan Ling Tian did not know how he had offended this old man to the point that he would emit such a terrifying killing intent.
Youre Duan Ling Tian? The old man with a huge-built asked in an interrogative tone.
Who are you? Duan Ling Tian asked in return in response to the old mans question.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, the old man with a huge-built old man looked at Duan Ling Tian and said in a tone that was neither hurried nor slow, You... Kill yourself! His tone brooked no argument.
