Duan Ling Tian who was flying above the White Tiger Sanctum had also changed into the exclusive uniform of a Fire Worship Sect true disciple. How could the sight of a true disciple flying ostentatiously above the White Tiger Sanctum go unnoticed?
"Is that our Fire Worship Sect true disciple?" The White Tiger Sanctum disciples were the first to notice this. They were stunned when they saw a true disciple had trespassed on the White Tiger Sanctum. They knew there was a rule that prohibited Saint Land disciples, both elite and true disciples, from trespassing on any of the Four Symbols Sanctums without permission from the respective Sanctum Leader.
However, at this moment, a true disciple was flying above the White Tiger Sanctum as though nobody was there. Based on the direction the true disciple came from, it was apparent he had just returned to the Fire Worship Sect.
"Isn't he too bold? This is the White Tiger Sanctum, one of the Four Symbols Sanctums! It's not a place where a mere true disciple like him can act as he likes!"
"Just wait and see. The Silver Flame Elders from our White Tiger Sanctum will catch him and send him to the Enforcement Hall!"
"The way he's acting is akin to provoking the White Tiger Sanctum!"
Many White Tiger Sanctum disciples discussed with among themselves, filled with righteous indignance.
"What if he's a direct disciple of Lord Sanctum Leader or one of the elders in the White Tiger Sanctum?" Some White Tiger Sanctum disciples asked.
"Impossible! Even the direct disciples of Lord Sanctum Leader or the elders always keep to themselves when they come to the White Tiger Sanctum. They wouldn't act so arrogantly! This person is clearly looking down on the White Tiger Sanctum!"
This is a provocation to our White Tiger Sanctum and the Four Symbols Sanctums!"
There were some people who seemed to think that the world was not chaotic enough among the White Tiger Sanctum disciples.
Just when Duan Ling Tian was about to leave the White Tiger Sanctum and enter the Saint Land...
The sound of two people scoffing angrily could be heard as the sound of wind whistling approached Duan Ling Tian. "Silver Flame Elders from the White Tiger Sanctum?" Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow when he sensed the auras from the two people who were approaching him. However, he did not pay them any attention and continued to make his way to the Saint Land at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.
The Silver Flame Elders of Fire Worship Sect were only at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. They did not pose any threat to Duan Ling Tian now.
"Hold up!"
"How dare you?!"
Two people bellowed at the same time. Their voices were deafeningly loud. It was the two Silver Flame Elders from the White Tiger Sanctum. They moved at lightning-speed toward Duan Ling Tian. In just a short while, they arrived in front of Duan Ling Tian, blocking his path. One stood behind him, and the other stood in front of him. Duan Ling Tian had no choice but to stop moving.
When Duan Ling Tian stopped moving, the two Silver Flame Elders from the White Tiger Sanctum finally saw Duan Ling Tian's face. They found his face familiar.
Currently, Duan Ling Tian did not disguise himself using the disguise he used when he was at the Fire Worship Sect. He had come without any disguise.
Naturally, the two Silver Flame Elders from the White Tiger Sanctum found Duan Ling Tian's real appearance familiar because they had seen his portrait in the past.
"Elder Lin and Elder Zhong have made a move!"
At the same time, a group of White Tiger Sanctum disciples who came out to have look recognized the two Silver Flame Elders who stepped out to block the true disciple.
"I think this true disciple is doomed!"
"Of course! He dares to openly trespass on the White Tiger Sanctum. Even Lord Sanctum Leader's direct disciple wouldn't act so boldly!"
"Eh? Why do I find this true disciple slightly familiar?"
"I also think he looks familiar."
The group of White Tiger Sanctum disciples found Duan Ling Tian to be slightly familiar as well but none of them could recall who he was at the moment.
The Silver Flame Elders from the White Tiger Sanctum were glaring at Duan Ling Tian and deciding on what they should do with him when a voice rang in the air...
"I remember now! H-he's Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian!" A White Tiger Sanctum disciple cried out. His eyes were filled with excitement and admiration as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
"S-Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian?"
"I think you're right... He's indeed Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian! He looks completely different from before. He must have taken off his disguise! I've seen his true appearance on a portrait before!"
"I've seen it as well. Moreover, his body is similar to the person in the portrait!"
The portrait they mentioned were the portraits that Xie Kang Xun, the Golden Lion King and one of the Four Great Karmapas of the Black Kshetra Sect, had distributed to the masses.
Almost everybody in the Fire Worship Sect had seen Duan Ling Tian's portrait before. It took a while for people to recall his face since it had been a few years since they last saw the portraits.
"Duan LingTian... Y-You're Duan Ling Tian?!"
Naturally, the two Silver Flame Elders from the White Tiger Sanctum elders heard the discussions in their surroundings. Their expressions were no longer angry. Instead, it was replaced by a solemn expression.
At this time, they finally remembered the portraits they had seen a few years ago. The young man before them perfectly resembled the person in the portraits.
"What? Are there people who've been impersonating me, elders?" When Duan Ling Tian saw the solemn expressions on the two Silver Flame Elders' faces, he shook his head and chuckled.
One of the White Tiger Sanctum's Silver Flame Elders scoffed before he said, "So what if you're Duan Ling Tian? Every house has its rules, and every sect has its laws... Duan Ling Tian, you're a true disciple. How dare you disregard the sect's law and trespass on the White Tiger Sanctum. I'll send you to the Enforcement Hall and let the Enforcement Hall punish you!"
"That's right! Duan Ling Tian, although Lord Sect Leader asks for your return, you can't disregard the sect's laws.
Today, you'll have to go to the Enforcement Hall with us!" The other White Tiger Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder said.
In just a blink of an eye, the atmosphere turned tense.
The group of White Tiger Sanctum disciples was staring at Duan Ling Tian intently, wondering how he would handle the situation...
"Elders, if I'm not mistaken, there's a clause in the Fire Worship Sect's rules..." Duan Ling Tian looked at the two Silver Flame Elders from the White Tiger Sanctum with a piercing gaze. "If a Saint Land disciple is capable of defeating a Sanctum Leader of the Four Symbols Sanctums, he or she can walk freely in any of the Four Sanctums and is exempted from punishment!" Duan Ling Tian said clearly before the Silver Flame Elders from the White Tiger Sanctum had a chance to reply.
Duan Ling Tian knew the rules in the Fire Worship Sect very well. That was how he knew about this clause.
"You..." Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, the expressions of the two Silver Flame Elders from the White Tiger Sanctum changed immediately to one of disbelief and confusion.
An absurd thought rose in their minds in unison...
Is Duan Ling Tian stronger than the Sanctum Leader of the White Tiger Sanctum?'
The Sanctum Leader of the White Tiger Sanctum was a Golden Flame Elder in the Fire Worship Sect. His cultivation base was at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He could be considered as one of the strongest cultivators at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
The group of White Tiger Sanctum disciples was also shocked. All of them stared at Duan Ling Tian with their mouths agape.
Don't tell me Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian wants to challenge the Sanctum Leader of our White Tiger Sanctum?' All of them had the same thought in their minds.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian spoke up again. He sounded confident. "If the White Tiger Sanctum takes offense to me trespassing, then, the Sanctum Leader of the White Tiger Sanctum should come and fight me! If I'm defeated, I'll willingly go to the Enforcement Hall and accept my punishment!"
Duan Ling Tian's words that contained rich Sun Saint Origin, both intentionally and unintentionally, swept through the White Tiger Sanctum, causing a commotion!
"Duan Ling Tian?"
"Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian has returned? The Sect Leader has only released his statement a few days ago, but he's back so soon?"
"Not only did he return, but it seems like he's in our White Tiger Sanctum... Based on his words, it seems like he's challenging Lord Sanctum Leader?"
"It seems like someone blocked his path. I remember there's a clause that allows a disciple to walk freely in the Four Symbols Sanctums as long as he or she can defeat a Sanctum Leader!'"
"So is Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian trying to obtain the right to walk freely in the Four Symbols Sanctums?"
All of the White Tiger Sanctum disciples, except for those who were in the midst of closed-door cultivations, instantly stopped what they were doing and made their way to the source of the voice. Even a few Silver Flame Elders and Bronze Flame Elders from the White Tiger Sanctum went over to have a look.
The White Tiger Sanctum was in an uproar over Duan Ling Tian's words...
Suddenly, a boisterous voice rang in the White Tiger Sanctum. It seemed as though it could shake Heaven and earth.
"Duan Ling Tian! You want to challenge me?!"
