2193 Beauties in the Northern Region

The person who had bumped into Duan Ling Tian was none other than the direct disciple of the Sanctum Leader of Azure Dragon Sanctum, Wen Yan! She was the person who had reported Gan Ru Yan to the Enforcement Hall back then. For this reason, Ke'er and her daughter were discovered and imprisoned in the Enforcement Hall.

When Duan Ling Tian arrived in the Fire Worship Sect, he had taught her a lesson when he found out she was the reason Ke'er and their daughter were imprisoned. That was how the feud between Wen Yan and Duan Ling Tian started. Later on, Wen Yan's senior brother, Bu Hong, tried to avenge her, but his Innate Spiritual Root was destroyed by Duan Ling Tian instead. Before their master could seek revenge from Duan Ling Tian, he had already left the Fire Worship Sect. Now that Duan Ling Tian returned, their master was no longer capable of seeking revenge for them. This was because Duan Ling Tian was far stronger than their master.

Wen Yan began to tremble in fear when she saw Duan Ling Tian. "Duan...Duan Ling Tian!"

Duan Ling Tian was dressed in purple. He no longer wore the uniform of a Fire Worship Sect's true disciple. For this reason, he stood out.

Wen Yan's attention was not on his robes, but on his face. Although she had seen Duan Ling Tian's portrait once, she did not forget his face. Now that she saw him in real life, it felt as though she had seen a ghost.

Since Duan Ling Tian has returned to the Fire Worship Sect after Lord Sect Leader asked for his return, he has been promoted to Guardian due to his superior strength. Apart from that, as soon as he returned to the sect, he defeated the Sanctum Leader of White Tiger Sanctum and the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall who has recently broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He even killed Vice Hall Master Dong Yuan Jin, and his son, Dong Lin!' Wen Yan thought to herself.

Wen Yan had only found out about this today since she was in closed-door cultivation. She did not know that Duan Ling Tian was stuck in the trap that was left behind by three Eminent Devils. She did not expect the world would change so much after she came out of closed-door cultivation! Duan Ling Tian has grown so strong that his strength was far superior to her master, Lu Tie, the Sanctum Leader of Azure Dragon Sanctum. It completely destroyed her idea of seeking revenge from Duan Ling Tian! After all, she no longer had the capabilities to compete with Duan Ling Tian. They were in different leagues now.

Wen Yan did not think she would be so unlucky to bump into Duan Ling Tian as soon as she came to the Saint Island. When she remembered how strong Duan Ling Tian was, her legs turned soft. She could not even move.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian finally noticed Wen Yan. "Wen Yan?"

Duan Ling Tian did not think he would meet the girl who reported Gan Ru Yan back then while he was out walking to clear his mind. When he thought of the part she played in getting Ke'er and their daughter imprisoned, his gaze turned cold immediately.

Wen Yan began to shiver when she saw this. Her face turned pale and she began to tremble violently.

Duan Ling Tian scoffed. Without any warning, Duan Ling Tian began to mobilize his Sun Saint Energy. A powerful energy swept out in just an instant.

Wen Yan stood rooted to her spot in fear. She was trembling as the energy shrouded her, causing her to throw up blood. Then, she quickly kneeled in the air and begged for mercy. "Guardian Ling Tian, please show mercy! Please show mercy..." She knew very well that it would not be a problem at all if Duan Ling Tian decided to kill her. No one would pursue the matter. She might be a true disciple in the Fire Worship Sect, but she was nothing compared to Duan Ling Tian who was a Guardian. Even a hundred of her could not compare to one Duan Ling Tian!

A hint of disgust flashed in Duan Ling Tian's eyes when he saw Wen Yan kowtowing and begging for mercy. However, in the end, he did not attack her. He only walked past Wen Yan who was still kneeling and begging. He left like a gust of wind.

At the same time, Wen Yan waited with bated breath. If Duan Ling Tian casually attacked her without using much strength, he would still be able to severely injure her even if he did not kill her. She waited until Duan Ling Tian was quite a distance away before she sighed in relief. Her robe was wet from sweat.

I will punish you by taking away your Innate Spiritual Root.' This was Duan Ling Tian's thought when he walked past Wen Yan.

As it turned out, before Duan Ling Tian left, he had cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic and devoured Wen Yan's Innate Spiritual Root. Once he had broken through to the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Heavenly Soul Form, he was able to devour Innate Spiritual Roots without Elder Huo's help. He was able to devour a person's Innate Spiritual Root without alerting him or her as long as his target was weaker than him.

Wen Yan was merely a cultivator at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. How could she compare to Duan Ling Tian who had broken through to the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?

With Duan Ling Tian's current strength, he could devour the Innate Spiritual Roots of anyone below the Fourth Form of the Celestial Stage, and they would be none the wiser. However, it would exhaust him. For instance, he had exhausted a little more than half of his Spiritual Energy after devouring Wen Yan's Innate Spiritual Root. However, if he had forcefully devoured Wen Yan's Innate Spiritual Root without caring if she knew it or not, it would not exhaust him at all.

Wen Yan was, naturally, unaware of this.

“Fortunately, he didn't do anything to me! I could have died!' Wen Yan sighed in relief after Duan Ling Tian had left. She felt as though she had narrowly escaped death. However, a hint of viciousness and resentment could be seen in her eyes. It was as though she wanted to tear Duan Ling Tian into a thousand pieces.

"The Saint Girl's daughter will be executed in three months' time?"

"That girl is quite pitiful. She's innocent but she has to pay with her life!"

"She can only blame herself for being born into the wrong family... Hopefully, she'll be born into a better family in her next life."

"Lord Sect Leader is strange though... The Saint Girl is the one who made a mistake. Why is he punishing her daughter instead?"

When Duan Ling Tian entered the Saint Island, he heard all these remarks.

"Born into the wrong family?" Duan Ling Tian's eyes flashed as he muttered under his breath, "I won't let anything happen to you, Si Ling!"

In the northern region. At the peak of a snow-capped mountain...

Snow was falling heavily on the mountain. Two figures could be seen standing at the peak of the mountain. Upon closer inspection, one would be able to see that snow seemed to be repelled by the two figures. It did not touch them at all.

The two figures belonged to two extremely beautiful girls. When they stood together, they outshone everything in their surroundings.

"Sister Tian Wu, Brother Ling Tian is so powerful... He even managed to kill one of the Great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect, Golden Lion KingXie Kang Xun! Xie Kang Xun was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was even ranked 18th on the Supreme Saint Ranking." A playful expression could be seen on one of the girls' faces. Her dimples were faintly visible when she smiled. She looked extremely cute. "I thought I'll be able to surpass Brother Ling Tian after undergoing the Six Absolutes Heaven Defying Fate Changing Grand Formation... However, it seems like it's nothing but a fool's dream," the girl continued to say with a sigh.

The other girl who was dressed in red turned to look at the girl who had spoken and said, "Xue Nai, you're so eager to surpass Brother Duan?"

"No!" Xue Nai shook her head as she said solemnly, "In my heart, Brother Ling Tian will always be the best... Even the successor of the Seven Absolutes Sect's First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, can't compare to him!"

Upon hearing that, the other girl was stunned. Then, the smile on her face grew wider.

"Sister Tian Wu, what are you laughing at?" Xue Nai asked with 汪 frown.

"It's nothing... I'm just thinking that Brother Duan would be shocked if he learns about your strength and innate talent." The other girl shook her head and changed the subject. There were things she could not say because she had made a promise.

Based on their words, it was clear these two girls were Han Xue Nai and Feng Tian Wu.

These two girls were the beauties in the northern region. Their smiles could dazzle a whole country.
