In Xie Zong's former Spatial Ring, high-grade Saint Stones were piled up as high as a mountain. There were so many treasures in there that Duan Ling Tian fell into a daze for a short moment! When he regained his senses, his attention was quickly caught by something lying in the corner.
It was a stone tablet with a chipped corner. "The Devilseal Tablet!"
When Duan Ling Tian saw the Devilseal Tablet, he was surprised and delighted. It was definitely a pleasant surprise. He did not expect that Xie Zong did not hand it over to the Black Kshetra Sect's Golden Lion King after he had snatched it away from Duan Ling Tian.
'I didn't expect I'll regain the Devilseal Tablet so easily.' With just a thought, Duan Ling Tian retrieved the Devilseal Tablet and reached out to gently touch it. He was very excited that it took him a while to calm down. After a while, he recollected himself and put the Devilseal Tablet away.
'If the Devil clans really invade the Dao Martial Saint Land, the Devilseal Tablet is going to their nightmare!' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a glint in his eyes.
After learning about the existence of the Land of Exile, the Devil clans, and the possibility of the Devils clans invading the Dao Martial Saint Land again, Duan Ling Tian had greatly missed the Devilseal Tablet that was taken away by Xie Zong. The power the Devilseal Tablet held over the devils were far stronger than its effect on ordinary Devil Cultivators!
'Even so, I wish that it's all just speculations and the Devil clans won't invade the Dao Martial Saint Land,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
If the Devil clans had already invaded the Dao Martial Saint Land, this meant the Lower Province was currently like hell on earth. His family and friends would definitely be affected.
'It's time to go back.' After taking a deep breath, Duan Ling Tian came back to his senses. Sun Saint Energy surged out of his body as it blew Xie Zong's body up into pieces. After that, he returned to Sin City.
During Duan Ling Tian's journey back, he reverted back to his human form. Apart from that, he also decided to use a new disguise. His new disguise was not handsome. It was an extremely average face. He would definitely not stand out in a crowd.
'I'm sure the Black Kshetra Sect's Golden Lion King has already found out about Xie Zong's death. I'm afraid he's probably making way to Sin City now!' It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to come to this conclusion. However, he was not afraid. He was very confident about his disguising tactic. Even if he stood in front of the Golden Lion King, he was certain the Golden Lion King would not know he was the one who killed Xie Zong.
'However, the Golden Lion King will find out about my true identity from the Major Mirror Image Talisman!' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, feeling slightly worried.
Duan Ling Tian was certain when Xie Zong took the Devilseal Tablet away from him, he must have told his father, one of the Four Great Karmapas of the Black Kshetra Sect, about it. It was very likely the Golden Lion King knew he was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior. Moreover, the Golden Lion King would know his true appearance as well through the Minor Major Mirror Image Talisman.
'I hope the Upper Province's Inter-province Transportation Formations will remain broken for now. Otherwise, the Golden Lion King might find my family to seek revenge for his son!' Duan Ling Tian did not doubt the Golden Lion King would look for his family in the Lower Province to seek revenge.
....
Just as Duan Ling Tian expected, when Xie Zong died, an earth-shattering leonine roar sounded from deep inside the Black Kshetra Sect's estate that was located inside a forest near Sin City.
"Zong'er!" Anger could be heard in that leonine roar.
Boom!
In the depth of the Black Kshetra Sect's estate, a room in the side of a huge mansion was destroyed with a loud sound. As the dust flew up, a tall and strong figure could be seen standing inside the room.
It was an old man who was two meters tall. He had long white hair that was similar to a lion's mane. Apart from that, he had thick and fierce-looking eyebrows that framed a pair of round angry eyes. His face was covered with a white and curly beard. He hovered in the air as a terrifying killing intent radiated off him. It seemed that even the air had stagnated around him.
This old man was none other than the Golden Lion King, one of Black Kshetra Sect's Four Great Karmapas. He was one of the strongest powerhouses in the Black Kshetra Sect. His cultivation base was already at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
The Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was also known as the Heaven Defying Form. If there were no accidents, they would not die.
Naturally, the Golden Lion King was just a title. This Karmapa had a name. It was Xie Kang Xun!
"Zong'er, Zong'er!" At this moment, Xie Kang Xun, the Golden Lion King, was trembling violently as he looked at something in his palm. There was a tiny mountain of dust in his palm. It was clearly the shattered remains of a Soul Pearl! His son had been killed!
Xie Kang Xun quickly raised his arm and a Dao Talisman appeared in his hand. It was the Major Mirror Image Talisman that was part of the Minor Major Mirror Image Talisman. This Major Mirror Image Talisman was a set with the Minor Mirror Image Talisman his son, Xie Zong, had carried.
Xie Kang Xun tore the Major Mirror Image Talisman as a scene began to play out in front of his eyes. He saw his son, Xie Zong, and a purple-clad young man. He witnessed with his own eyes how the muscles on the purple-clad man's face began to shift before it transformed into another face. He could roughly guess what was going by reading Xie Zong and the purple-clad young man's lips.
'He's the man from the Lower Province whose Devilseal Tablet was taken away by my son?' Xie Kang Xun knew the purple-clad young man was the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. His name was Duan Ling Tian. His son had taken the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, away from Duan Ling Tian.
'Duan Ling Tian? Isn't there a prodigy who had quickly risen to fame in the Fire Worship Sect whose name is Duan Ling Tian?' Xie Kang Xun's expression darkened immediately. He did not expect the person from the Lower Province whom his son robbed the Devilseal Tablet from was the second strongest prodigy in the Fire Worship Sect who had recently risen to fame.
Both of them were the same person. How unexpected!
Xie Kang Xun kept watching the scene that was playing out. He saw how his son was killed when he attempted to use the Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman.
Xie Kang Xun's expression turned grimmer. The temperature in his surroundings seemed to have dropped by a few degrees. In the next moment, a terrifying killing intent surged out of his body. Revenge burned and raged in his heart!
'That sword is far stronger than a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon! It's so fast that even the Mirror Image Talisman could hardly capture its movements. It should be the Traceless Sword, one of the Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking!'
Xie Kang Xun took a deep breath to calm himself down. After that, he analyzed the scene that he had seen. He would not forget the scene in his entire life.
After a while, Xie Kang Xun was certain the sword Duan Ling Tian used in the end was indeed extraordinary. It had to be the Traceless Sword, one of two swords on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking!
'It should be the Traceless Sword that's known for its traceless attacks!' Xie Kang Xun thought to himself as his killing intent intensified. The rage in his eyes seemed as though it would burn everything.
"Zong'er, don't worry. I'll look for Duan Ling Tian now. I'll kill him to avenge you!"
Meanwhile, many people had flown over to Xie Kang Xun's residence when they heard the ruckus. However, when they arrived they did not see him at all.
Xie Kang Xun had already left the Black Kshetra Sect and was making his way to Sin City.
As Xie Kang Xun traveled to Sin City, his rage intensified, showing no signs of dying down at all. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian was a dead man. "Duan Ling Tian, you dare to kill my child. You'll have to pay for it with your life!"
...
Sin City.
Duan Ling Tian who guessed that the Golden Lion King, one of Black Kshetra Sect's Four Great Kamapas, was about to arrive in Sin City found another inn to stay in after he returned to Sin City.
"Elder Huo, do you have any secret tactic that can help one to change one's body size?" Duan Ling Tian instantly asked Elder Huo after he settled down. Although he could disguise his face very well without any flaws, he was not able to change the size of his body.
If the Golden Lion King from the Black Kshetra Sect memorized his figure from the scenes shown through the Major Mirror Image Talisman, he might be able to identify Duan Ling Tian.
Although there were many people with similar built, who knew if the Golden Lion King would go into a frenzy and kill everyone who had the same built as Duan Ling Tian? There was a saying, 'It's better to err on the side of caution and kill a thousand people than to accidentally miss out one person!'
