Duan Ling Tian and the other four Fire Worship Sect Guardians walked side by side behind Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect Leader. Soon after, they left the estate of the Fire Worship Sect.
Soon after, a few figures appeared before them. In the beginning, they were the size of dust, but as Duan Ling Tian and the others approached them, they began to grow bigger and bigger. There were six people. A grey-clad old man stood in the lead. He looked extremely old as though he already had one foot in his coffin.
This must be Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect.' It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to figure out the old man's identity.
Lang Qian Jin studied the group of people from the Fire Worship Sect while Duan Ling Tian was studying him as well. Duan Ling Tian felt exposed when he felt Lang Qian Jin looked at him.
"You're Duan Ling Tian?" Duan Ling Tian heard a Voice Transmission. The voice sounded old and hoarse. This was the same voice that had spoken earlier. It was obvious Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, was the one who sent the Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian.
"Lang Qian Jin?" Duan Ling Tian only asked in response to Lang Qian Jin's Voice Transmission.
Lang Qian Jin scoffed loudly. "Duan Ling Tian, how courageous of you to kill the Golden Lion King of Black Kshetra Sect!" He sounded angry. It seemed like he was trying to intimidate Duan Ling Tian.
What a shame that Duan Ling Tian was not a coward. He was not someone who was easily intimidated.
"No matter how courageous I am, I'm nothing compared to how shameless you are. You dare to come here and bark at me when you've robbed me of two Super Saint Weapons?" Duan Ling Tian said mockingly through Voice Transmission. He remembered that Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, had announced that he had two of Duan Ling Tian's Super Saint Weapons when he had just exited the pseudo realm left by three Eminent Devils.
Duan Ling Tian did not know if he should laugh or be angry when he heard this news. He had not even met the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect before, how did the Supreme Elder rob him?
"You!" Lang Qian Jin's face that was pale was filled with rage and humiliation when he heard Duan Ling Tian's Voice Transmission. He glared at Duan Ling Tian viciously. If looks could kill, Duan Ling Tian would have died.
Lang Qian Jin had announced the two Super Saint Weapons were in his possession because he wanted to divert other people's attention away from it. He was afraid other people would go after Duan Ling Tian's Super Saint Weapons.
When Duan Ling Tian mocked Lang Qian Jin about this matter, he remembered he had become a laughingstock in the Dao Martial Saint Land for lying to everyone even though he was a cultivator at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He had felt extremely embarrassed by that incident. Now that Duan Ling Tian brought up that incident again, he felt as though Duan Ling Tian had touched his nerve. He became furious immediately.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian and the others finally arrived before the people from the Black Kshetra Sect
"Elder Lang, how was your journey here? What an honor to have you here in the Fire Worship Sect!" Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, greeted Lang Qian Jin warmly with a smile.
Lang Qian Jin only scoffed in response to Tang Xuan's words. Then, he said bluntly, "Sect Leader Tang, I'm sure you're aware of the reason for my visit today. What we want is to kill the person who murdered the Golden Lion King of Black Kshetra Sect! I hope Sect Leader Tang will hand that person over to us." There was a hint of impatience in his tone.
Tang Xuan had interacted with the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect before. However, today, he realized the Supreme Elder was an impatient person. He and the other Guardians were surprised by this.
Duan Ling Tian was the only one who was not surprised by Lang Qian Jin's impatience. After all, he had provoked Lang Qian Jin, causing him to lose his temper and become impatient.
At this moment, there was nothing Lang Qian Jin wanted more than to kill Duan Ling Tian to avenge the Golden Lion King.
Duan Ling Tian shifted his attention away from Lang Qian Jin to the people standing behind him.
The purple-clad woman should be the Violet Dragon King, the leader of the Four Great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect!" Duan Ling Tian's gaze landed on the only women in the group. The woman wore a purple robe and her face was covered by a purple veil. However, the veil did nothing to detract from her beauty. The Violet Dragon King is at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. She's ranked ninth on the Supreme Saint Ranking after the powerhouse who was ranked ninth died in the pseudo realm that was left behind by the three Eminent Devils!'
Soon after, Duan Ling Tian shifted his attention to the white-clad young man who was tall and strong. 'This man should be the other Great Karmapa, the White Tiger King! He's also at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and is ranked 11th on the Supreme Saint Ranking.'
Finally, Duan Ling Tian's attention shifted to an old man who was dressed entirely in black. He was so thin that it seemed as though he was only made out of skin and bones. 'This man must be the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect. He's at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He's far weaker compared to the others'
"Elder Lang!" Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect, said, coldly, "Since you're so direct, I'll be honest with you. It's impossible for me to hand Guardian Ling Tian over to you!"
It was obvious Tang Xuan did not have any intention of handing Duan Ling Tian over to the Black Kshetra Sect. How could he hand Duan Ling Tian over to the Black Kshetra Sect? Not only did Duan Ling Tian possess the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, that would be extremely important when the Devil Clans invade the Upper Province, but he was still not sure of Duan Ling Tian's true identity. He did not dare to simply hand Duan Ling Tian over. He had his suspicion that Duan Ling Tian was the man from the Lower Province who had defiled the Saint Girl. He was still trying to confirm if Duan Ling Tian was, indeed, that man. If Duan Ling Tian was, indeed, that man, and he had handed him over to the Black Kshetra Sect, 'that person' would definitely vent his anger on him if he found out about it. If Duan Ling Tian had, indeed, defiled the Saint Girl, 'that person' would undoubtedly want to kill Duan Ling Tian with his own hands.
Although that person says the Saint Girl is the reincarnation of his cousin sister, there's a strange possessiveness in his eyes when he spoke about his 'cousin sister", Tang Xuan thought to himself. He could not help but tremble when he thought about this. For this reason, there was no way he would hand Duan Ling Tian over to the Black Kshetra Sect.
If Duan Ling Tian was not the man who defiled the Saint Girl, Tang Xuan would only lose the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, if he handed him over to the Black Kshetra Sect. However, if Duan Ling Tian turned out to be the man who defiled the Saint Girl, he and the Fire Worship Sect would be burned into ashes by 'that person'.
"It seems like it won't be long before that person returns to the mundane realm.' Tang Xuan felt afraid when he thought about this. How fast time had flown by. In just a blink of an eye, the day of 'that person"s return was fast approaching.
"Impossible?" Tang Xuan's answer that brooked no arguments caused Lang Qian Jin's expression to darken immediately. The expression of the people standing behind him darkened as well when they heard Tang Xuan's response.
"Tang Xuan! It seems like you're extremely confident now that you've broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!" Lang Qian Jin said icily.
