Today, a group of uninvited guests had arrived in the western region. As soon as they entered the western region, they headed straight for the Fire Worship Sect.
There were six people in this group of people. The person in the lead was an extremely old man. He wore a loose grey robe. His eyebrows and beard were white. His face was deeply wrinkled and there were dark spots all over it. Based on his appearance, if he was an ordinary old man, he would be close to death. However, this old man was currently flying at the speed of lightning. Moreover, apart from a red-clad girl and a white-clad young man, the old man was carrying the other three people in the group. He was amazingly fast!
The group of six people flew toward the Fire Worship Sect in an ostentatious manner and it did not take them long before they arrived at the Fire Worship Sect.
When they arrived at the Fire Worship Sect, the old man muttered, "Fire Worship Sect!" A hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. After a while, he said in a clear voice, "Lang Qian Jin from the Black Kshetra Sect, the Sect Leader and two Vice Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect, the Violet Dragon King, and the White Tiger King are here to see Guardian Ling Tian of the Fire Worship Sect!" Although his voice was not loud, it could be heard in the entire Fire Worship Sect.
"Lang Qian Jin? This name sounds familiar..." Inside the Vermilion Bird Sanctum, one of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum elders frowned as he tried to recall where he had heard the name before.
"Of course it sounds familiar! He said he brought the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect, the Violet Dragon King, and the White Tiger King with him... This means his status is higher than those three people. There's only one person in the Black Kshetra Sect with such a position!" Another Vermilion Bird Sanctum elder said. A hint of wariness could be seen in his eyes. "I didn't expect he would come here. He must have come with his men to avenge Xie Kang Xun, the Golden Lion King." His voice trembled when he spoke.
"You mean... He's the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect?" The Vermilion Bird Sanctum elder who had spoken earlier was shocked. He seemed to have recalled something before he said, "I remember now! Isn't Lang Qian Jin ranked second on the Supreme Saint Ranking! He actually came with the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect, the Violet Dragon King, and the White Tiger King!" His expression had changed dramatically.
"A powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, two powerhouses at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, and a powerhouse at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage... Aren't these people the strongest in the Black Kshetra Sect?"
"Originally, the Black Kshetra Sect had another two powerhouses at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. They were the Golden Lion King and the Green Bat King. Both of them, along with the Violet Dragon King and White Tiger King, were the four Great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect... However, the Green Bat King died three years ago, and the Golden Lion King was killed by Guardian Ling Tian!"
"It looks like the Black Kshetra Sect is out for blood since they sent all of their powerhouses above the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage here!"
"With so many powerhouses here, I'm afraid even Lord Sect Leader won't be able to protect Guardian Ling Tian..."
Apart from the elders in the Vermilion Bird Sanctum, the other three Sanctums were also in an uproar over the arrival of Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect.
Lang Qian Jin was not only the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, but he was also widely acknowledged as the second strongest person in the Dao Martial Saint Land. He was only second to Nie Tian Wu, the strongest powerhouse in the Dao Martial Saint Land!
It was obvious Lang Qian Jin had come with ill intention. It caused many elders and disciples in the Fire Worship Sect to feel anxious.
"Do you think Lord Sect Leader and the Guardians will fight the people from the Black Kshetra Sect?"
"A fight between these high-level people is no joke! Not only will it affect the Fire Worship Sect, but it'll affect us as well!"
"You're right. A fight between those people can destroy mountains and stir up the sea. We'll definitely be affected even if we're far away from the fight!"
"We can only hope that they don't fight."
"It'll definitely result in a fight unless the Fire Worship Sect is willing to hand Guardian Ling Tian over. Since Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, has come, it shows they have no intention of backing down!"
"It's only natural since Guardian Ling Tian killed the Golden Lion King, one of the Black Kshetra Sect's Four Great Karmapas. The Golden Lion King was one of the pillars of strength in the Black Kshetra Sect... It would be fine if Guardian Ling Tian didn't return to our sect. However, now that he has returned, the Black Kshetra Sect won't let this matter go so easily!"
The people from Black Kshetra Sect had yet to enter the Fire Worship Sect but Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, had caused quite stir in the Fire Worship Sect with his words.
Based on this, one could see how fearsome Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, was.
They're here to see me?" Duan Ling Tian who was in the Fire Worship Sect, naturally, heard this as well. A flash of coldness could be seen as he narrowed his eyes.
After a few moments, Duan Ling Tian heard a woman calling out to him, "Guardian Ling Tian, Lord Sect Leader says that he wants to see you."
Duan Ling Tian was familiar with the owner of the voice. It was the only female Guardian among the five Guardians in the Fire Worship Sect, Hong Yun!
"Guardian Hong Yun." As soon as Hong Yun finished speaking, he flew out of his residence. It was the same place he had stayed in back when he was still a true disciple.
The Fire Worship Sect was still in the process of building a residence befitting of a Guardian so Duan Ling Tian was temporarily staying in his old residence. It would take time to build a Guardian's residence after all.
"Guardian Ling Tian, the group from Black Kshetra Sect came with ill intention... I'm afraid things will get tricky," Hong Yun said as soon as she saw Duan Ling Tian.
"I know." Duan Ling Tian nodded. It was obvious things would not end well since even Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, who was ranked second on the Supreme Saint Ranking had come.
"Don't worry. Lord Sect Leader has broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the Celestial Ascension Form. He's not any weaker than Lang Qian Jin!" Guardian Hong Yun consoled him.
Duan Ling Tian nodded again and followed Guardian Hong Yun to see the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect.
When Duan Ling Tian arrived, he discovered that Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, was not the only one present. The other three Guardians, Guardian Zi Feng, Guardian Qing Huo, and Guardian Leng Ying, were there as well.
"Sect Leader." Duan Ling Tian greeted and nodded at Tang Xuan before he turned to the other Guardians and nodded at them politely.
The Guardians were now used to Duan Ling Tian's casual manner so they did not take offense to his behavior. Moreover, they were in no position to care about formalities with the current predicament they were in.
"Guardian Ling Tian!" Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, looked at Duan Ling Tian and said without beating around the bush, "The four Guardians and I will go and meet the people from the Black Kshetra Sect... Do you want to join us? I'll respect your decision whatever it is."
"Since they've come knocking on our door, how can I hide from them?" Duan Ling Tian said with a shrug.
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, Guardian Zi Feng, Guardian Qing Huo, and Guardian Hong Yun looked at him with a hint of approval. Even Guardian Leng Ying who had a falling out with Duan Ling Tian previously softened his gaze. Duan Ling Tian's decision had won their respect.
"If that's your decision, let's go and meet them now!" Tang Xuan said with a cold glint in his eyes.
Tang Xuan flew to where the people from the Black Kshethra Sect were. If he did not deal with this incident properly, not only would he humiliate himself, but even the Fire Worship Sect would be implicated.
"Let's go!"
Duan Ling Tian and the others followed Tang Xuan to meet the people from Black Kshetra Sect.
Meanwhile, there were a few people who were eager to see the Fire Worship Sect fall into chaos.
I hope the people from the Black Kshetra Sect won't back down. It would be best if Lang Qian Jin personally kills Duan
This is great news... Since Lang Qian Jin has personally come, he definitely won't rest until he gets what he came here for. Guardian Ling Tian won't stay a Guardian for long since he's going to die soon!'
Duan Ling Tian, go to hell!"
These people who were eager for chaos to descend on Fire Worship Sect were the two direct disciples of the Sanctum Leader of Azure Dragon Sanctum, Bu Hong and Wen Yan. Apart from these two people, the others were people who had also had conflicts with Duan Ling Tian.
