Save you? Zhou Wen, the Old Ancestor of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, was still grieving the death of Zhou Ming, his twin brother. Upon hearing the words of Bai Yu Xuan, the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, he raised his head and looked at Bai Yu Xuan coldly. You little punk! Ive treated you well in the past, and yet, you brought such a huge disaster upon our sect. Not only did you cause the death of your Junior Granduncle Ming, but you also caused the death of your father. How dare you ask me to save you? Near the end of his words, the flames of fury in the depths of his eyes burned hotter as he looked at Bai Yu Xuan. If looks could kill, Bai Yu Xuan would have died a couple of times over.
After catching his breath, Zhou Wen continued to say, I wouldve killed you if I knew you would bring such a disaster upon us, you filthy brat! Punk, my brother died for nothing because of you!
Bai Yu Xuan was shocked to the core by Zhou Wens words. What?! Junior Granduncle Zhou Ming... is... is dead?!
At this moment, the old man, also another Old Ancestor of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, scoffed before he chimed in, He died because of you, you b*stard! If you didnt plot to kill Old Ancestor He Shan from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, would Master Duan come today? Would Zhou Ming die? Would your father die? In my opinion, the only person who deserves to die is you! He had always had an even temper, but at this moment, he had lost control over his temper. How could he not be infuriated by Bai Yu Xuans mistake that cost the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect the loss of a Ten Directions Celestial Duke and their sect leader? It was a devastating loss to the sect!
M-master Duan? Hows it possible? D-didnt the people from the Blissful Sect had him thoroughly investigated? Isnt he just a transcender with no background? Bai Yu Xuan thought to himself with a skeptical expression on his face. He knew Duan Ling Tian was someone not to be offended when he saw his father committing suicide. Naturally, he did think Duan Ling Tian was capable of killing Zhou Ming, the Old Ancestor of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect who was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. He had assumed the remaining two Old Ancestors of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect did not raise any objection about Zhou Mings death because Duan Ling Tian had an extraordinary background. It did not occur to him that Duan Ling Tian was the one who killed Zhou Ming. Duan Ling Tians alchemy skills were superior to a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist despite only being a prominent Celestial Alchemist who had not even reached the age of 100. This alone was rare enough. How could he guess that Duan Ling Tians cultivation base was also stronger than the three Old Ancestors of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect?
Bai Yu Xuan trembled as his eyes darted around his surroundings. Wheres the powerhouse protecting him? Even a quasi Celestial King might not be able to kill Junior Granduncle Ming or make Junior Granduncle Wen so wary. The powerhouse protecting Duan Ling Tian has to be at least an ordinary Celestial King or stronger! Alas, regardless of how hard he searched his surroundings with his eyes, he found no trace of any hidden powerhouse.
When Bai Yu Xuans eyes landed on Tie Tai He, he found Tie Tai He rather familiar. It did not take long for him to identify Tie Tai He. I remember now! Hes the former Left Guardian of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Tie Tai He! Ive met him once before! Theres no way hes the person protecting Duan Ling Tian... So wheres the powerhouse protecting Duan Ling Tian? He continued to look around, hints of doubts were visible on his face. He truly felt unresigned that Duan Ling Tian had a strong powerhouse protecting him.
At this moment, Zhou Wen scoffed. He looked at Bai Yu Xuan coldly as he said, Stop looking around. Its pointless. Theres no powerhouse protecting Master Duan. His anger that had not subsided fueled him as he continued talking. Its all because of you, you b*stard, that your Junior Granduncle Ming was killed by Master Duan. Youre the reason your father has to atone for this crime with his life because hes afraid Master Duan might annihilate the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. Its all because of your evil scheme against Old Ancestor He Shan!
Bai Yu Xuan was shocked again. An incredulous expression could be seen on his face, and his mouth was agape as he stared at Duan Ling Tian. What?! He killed Junior Granduncle Ming? Fathers afraid hell annihilate our Profound Heaven Celestial Sect? It doesnt make sense...Hows that possible?! Hes not even 100 years old. How can he be so powerful?!
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian finally spoke up. His eyes glinted coldly as he looked at Bai Yu Xuan and slowly said, If theres an afterlife, please remember that there are mountains beyond mountains, and heavens beyond heavens. Sometimes, a small mistake is all it takes to cost you your precious life... As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed one hand out, and a purple palm print shot out of his hand. The palm print grew bigger and bigger until it was the size of a hill as it sailed toward Bai Yu Xuan.
Bang!
A loud explosion rang in the air, and the shockwave from the explosion rippled into the surroundings.
A mist of blood hung in the air where Bai Yu Xuan had been standing just a moment ago. Only a Spatial Ring could be seen as blood began to rain down again.
After killing Bai Yu Xuan, Duan Ling Tian said, What happened today is due to my personal grudge with Young Master Bai. It has nothing to do with the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. If the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect intends to blame the Tai Yi Celestial Sect or seek revenge... He paused for a moment as he glanced at the people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect before he slowly said, I, Duan Ling Tian, dont mind visiting the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect again to annihilate it!
Duan Ling Tians words sent chills running up the spines of the people of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.
Rest assured, Master Duan! The old man looked at Duan Ling Tian and hastily vowed, As long as I remain an Old Ancestor of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, no members of the sect would be allowed to act against the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
Master Duan, I, Zhou Wen, assure you of that as well, Zhou Wen said solemnly. Although he really wished he could kill Duan Ling Tian to avenge his twin brother, he knew the difference between their strength was like heaven and hell. Under such circumstances, he could only force himself to suppress and bury the hatred in his heart.
Duan Ling Tian continued to say, Bear in mind... This applies to the future generations of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect as well. If any of them dare to trouble the Tai Yi Celestial Sect regarding this matter, I wont spare the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect!
The people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect felt their hearts skipping a beat.
Whoosh!
With a flurry of movements, Duan Ling Tian, Tie Tai He, and Huaner disappeared without a trace before the people of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.
Even the two Old Ancestors who were Ten Directions Celestial Dukes could not catch Duan Ling Tians movements at all. They saw the fear in each others eyes when they exchanged a glance.
Finally, the old man somberly said, Elder Qi, youre temporarily in charge of the sects matter for now... Well decide on the candidates for the new sect leader after Zhou Wen and I have a discussion. During this time, the sect should continue operating as normal in an orderly manner. If you perform well, who knows, you might be appointed as the new sect leader... At the end of his words, he looked at Elder Qi meaningfully.
Yes, Old Ancestor! Elder Qi was, naturally, inwardly delighted that there was a chance he might be promoted.
Elder Qi was among the high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect whose lives were hanging by a thread before the arrival of the three Old Ancestors and the late Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. He was just an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke; how on earth did he suddenly obtain the chance to become the new Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect?
