2028 Amazemen

Duan Ling Tian spoke calmly. Those who did not know better might even he was talking to a good friend of many years.

However, almost everybody in the Fire Remuneration Palace could clearly sense the tension between Duan Ling Tian and Dong Lin! At this moment, they could clearly see that Dong Lin no longer wanted to be entangled in this matter, but Duan Ling Tian refused to let the matter go!

"Duan Ling Tian actually went and stopped Elder Dong Lin… Where did he get his courage from?"

"If I were him, I would've let Elder Dong Lin leave… After all, it's disadvantageous for him if Elder Dong Lin stays here!"

"Don't tell me he's not worried that Elder Dong Lin would ask him to take another Spiritual Pearl to check his Innate Spiritual Root?"

Based on the Saint Land disciples' discussion, one could tell they thought Duan Ling Tian was being foolish. Naturally, there were some Saint Land disciples who were much more astute.

"If Duan Ling Tian dares to stop Elder Dong Lin from leaving, doesn't it show that he's confident? Could the rumors be fake? Could it be that Duan Ling Tian actually possesses the blue Innate Spiritual Root and not a yellow one?"

"If he doesn't have a blue Innate Spiritual Root, it'll only be disadvantageous for him to stop Elder Dong Lin from leaving. It seems like he might really possess a blue Innate Spiritual Root!"

"If he really has a blue Innate Spiritual Root, based on his temper, I'm afraid it would be impossible for Elder Dong Lin to retreat gracefully!"

The Saint Land disciples who were much more astute said among themselves.

Coupled with everything that had happened, they all felt that it was possible that Duan Ling Tian really possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root.

Naturally, only a small number of them felt this way. Most of the Saint Land disciples felt Duan Ling Tian was only seeking trouble.

"Duan Ling Tian, if you're willing to let me leave, there'll no longer be any enmity between you and me! Moreover, I'll recommend you to serve in the Enforcement Hall." Dong Lin transmitted his voice to Duan Ling Tian as he stared at him intently. It was obvious he wanted to reconcile with Duan Ling Tian. This was because based on the way Duan Ling Tian had stopped him and the confidence he exuded, he knew that Duan Ling Tian most likely possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root! Otherwise, where did Duan Ling Tian get the courage to stop him?

"Elder Dong Lin, I didn't hear wrongly, right? Based on your Voice Transmission, you're seeking to reconcile with me?" Duan Ling Tian said loudly as soon as he heard Dong Lin's Voice Transmission, "Why? Do you think you've made the wrong judgment earlier?" When he spoke, he brought up the matter of Dong Lin abusing his power by banning him from serving in the Enforcement Hall.

It did not cross Dong Lin's mind that not only would Duan Ling Tian not accept his attempt at reconciliation, but he even announced it to everyone. It was as though he was afraid everyone would not know about it!

Did he even know the rules?

Dong Lin was instantly enraged as his face began to turn red. His eyes were shining with killing intent as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. If looks could kill, Duan Ling Tian would have died many times over!

Dong Lin could sense that everyone's eyes had shifted to him. They were all looking at him strangely.

Duan Ling Tian's words set off another commotion.

"Elder Dong Lin actually took the initiative to transmit his voice to Duan Ling Tian to ask for reconciliation? My goodness! Is this real?!"

"I don't think so! Elder Dong Lin is famous for being arrogant. How could he possibly give in to Duan Ling Tian in regards to today's incident?"

"So you think Duan Ling Tian is slandering Elder Dong Lin?"

"It's possible!"

Naturally, most Saint Land disciples did not believe Duan Ling Tian. They felt he was intentionally slandering Dong Lin.

Dong Lin felt as though salt was being rubbed on his wound when he heard these Saint Land disciples' words. He said with a snarl, "Duan Ling Tian, don't slander me!" A furious expression appeared on his face as though he had really been slandered.

This scene also caused many Saint Land disciples to feel certain Duan Ling Tian had slandered Dong Lin.

Naturally, some of the more rational Saint Land disciples did not think that Duan Ling Tian had slandered Dong Lin. They felt it must be true that Dong Lin had attempted to reconcile with Duan Ling Tian. As for the reason why Dong Lin took the initiative to ask for reconciliation, it was not difficult for them to figure it out. Dong Lin must be afraid he could not gracefully extricate himself from this situation! After all, he had used the excuse of Duan Ling Tian only possessing a yellow Innate Spiritual Root to ban him from serving in the Enforcement Hall. If Duan Ling Tian really possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root, his excuse would no longer be valid. At that time, many people would say he was abusing his power and authority!

The Enforcement Hall was in charge of enforcing the law in the Fire Worship Sect. It was very strict. If news of this spread out, Dong Lin would not be able to escape punishment even though he was the only son of one of the Vice Hall Masters in the Enforcement Hall. Moreover, his punishment would be severe as well!

"Slander?" Under the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Ling Tian who heard Dong Lin's words could not help but laugh. After that, he quickly raised his hand and pricked his finger, squeezing a drop of blood out.

Horror dawned on Dong Lin when he saw the drop of fresh blood. Naturally, he knew Duan Ling Tian was going to swear on the lightning penalty oath that he did not slander him.

"Duan Ling Tian, if you dare to swear on the lightning penalty oath, I swear that I won't rest until you die!" Dong Lin subtly took a deep breath as he transmitted his voice to Duan Ling Tian again. Since his soft approach failed, he would use force instead!

He would not rest until Duan Ling Tian died!

"Don't tell me we're not already at the stage where we won't rest until the other person is dead?" Upon hearing Dong Lin's Voice Transmission, Duan Ling Tian could not help but sneer. At the same time, he also used his blood and swore on the lightning penalty oath. "I, Duan Ling Tian, hereby swear that if Dong Lin didn't take the initiative to transmit his voice to me in an attempt to reconcile with me, I would be struck by lightning from the Tribulation Oath of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!" Duan Ling Tian's action was akin to giving Dong Lin a slap.

Dong Lin became even more furious when he saw Duan Ling Tian was not affected by his threats and had sworn on the lightning penalty oath. His eyes seemed to be able to shoot fire as he glared at Duan Ling Tian.

"Duan Ling Tian! You're dead! You're dead!" Dong Lin transmitted his voice to Duan Ling Tian again. His voice was filled with hatred.

However, Duan Ling Tian completely ignored his threats again.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Nine claps of thunder sounded from the sky, alarming everyone in the Central Square.

"Is this the lightning penalty oath?"

"It seems like it!"

"I wonder who swore on the lightning penalty oath in the Central Square. I've been in the Saint Land for more than ten years, but this is my first time hearing the thunder from the lightning penalty oath in the Central Square."

"This is my first time hearing it too!"

The group of Saint Land disciples in the Central Square burst into an uproar. They were all curious about who had sworn on the lightning penalty oath. They were still unaware of what was happening in the Fire Remuneration Palace since everyone was still there.

Unlike the Saint Land disciples who were curious over what had happened in the Central Square, the Saint Land disciples in the Fire Remuneration Palace were shocked.

None of them had expected that Duan Ling Tian would swear on the lightning penalty oath to prove that he did not slander Dong Lin! The Saint Land disciples now looked at Dong Lin differently.

Dong Lin was furious and embarrassed when he noticed the eyes on him. He instantly glared at Duan Ling Tian as he said loudly, "Scram!" He was trying to make Duan Ling Tian retreat so he could retreat.

However, despite that, Duan Ling Tian remained unmoving like a statue as he exuded a domineering aura. It was as though he could subdue the enemy's forces alone.

Seeing how unreasonably Duan Ling Tian was acting, Dong Lin could no longer hold back. Saint Origin began to surge from his body with killing intent. It was apparent that he was about to make his move.

Meanwhile, the Saint Land disciples in the Fire Remuneration Palace felt as though the temperature in their surroundings had dropped by a few degrees.

As the Saint Origin on Dong Lin's body skyrocketed, his body moved forward as he charged at Duan Ling Tian as though he going to send Duan Ling Tian flying out of the Fire Remuneration Palace.

"Hurmph!" Duan Ling Tian's Sun Saint Energy that had already been accumulating in his body for a long time ago also surged out before it transformed into whirlpools when he saw Dong Lin making his move!

The instant the whirlpools appeared, it began to absorb all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Fire Remuneration Palace!

It was apparent this was the effect of the assist-type Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended.

The moment Duan Ling Tian cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic, the Saint Land disciples present in the Fire Remuneration Palace could instantly feel the absence of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the air.

This peculiar feeling made them uncomfortable!

"This is the assist-type Divine Ability that Duan Ling Tian mastered?"

"What a terrifying assist-type Divine Ability. To think it's able to absorb all the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Fire Remuneration Palace! No wonder he's able to defeat Wen Yan who's ranked ninth on the True Ranking even though his cultivation base is not higher than hers!"

"It seems like his cultivation base has undergone an earth-shattering transformation in just a blink of an eye!"

Many of the Saint Land disciples were amazed.
