1754 An Explosive Situation

Faced with Zhao Bai Ju's almost interrogative tone, Duan Ling Tian merely glanced at him indifferently before ignoring him.

Even if Zhao Bai Ju was a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage, he, Duan Ling Tian, would not fear him at all, let alone the fact that he was only an Early Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator.

If Duan Ling Tian was really angry, he could have brandished his Jasper Celestial Sword and killed him instantly.

"It's Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu!" Soon after, many Mystical Sky Mansion's disciples on the scene began to recognize them. They exclaimed, "They're the Eminent Saint Stage disciples on the Mystical Sky Ranking and usually cultivates in the Main Mansion."

"Isn't the man behind both of them Zhao Ji's lackey? Since when did he leave?"

"Seems like he went to look for Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu and asked them to come over."

"No wonder Zhao Ji swallowed the humiliation silently earlier. As it turns out, he had already sent someone to look for his backup."

At this moment, everyone could also guess the reason for Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu appearing here. They must have been asked by Zhao Ji to come and deal with Ling Tian.

"In our Mystical Sky Mansion, only Eminent Saint Stage disciples are qualified to be ranked on the Mystical Sky Ranking. Be it Zhao Bai Ju or Zhao Hei Tu, both of their cultivation bases must have already entered the Eminent Saint Stage since they're on the Mystical Sky Ranking! Duan Ling Tian's doomed now that they're here!"

"I know this Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu. They're both Vice Mansion Master Zhao's direct disciples. It's said that they're orphans and have been taken in by Vice Mansion Master Zhao to be nurtured since young. In their hearts, Vice Mansion Master Zhao is no different from a father! As the saying goes, 'If you love the owner, you'll love his or her dog as well.' Zhao Ji is Vice Mansion Master Zhao's only biological son. For this reason, they regard Zhao Ji as their own biological younger brother."

"So they're actually Vice Mansion Master Zhao's direct disciples. No wonder Zhao Ji sent someone to look for them... Tsk tsk, they're two Eminent Saint Stage powerhouses. I wonder how Ling Tian's going to deal with them."

"Although Ling Tian's powerful, and he's the strongest among the younger generation in the Mystical Sky Mansion, he's still far from being comparable to Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu."

"That's right! Perhaps Ling Tian might be able to reach Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu's level in a few years time. However, currently, he's no match for them."

As the discussion went on, many people were afraid for Duan Ling Tian.

When Wang Fei Xuan heard the discussion in the surrounding, she learned about Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu's background. Her expression turned grim as she muttered under her breath, "Shameless!"

At the same time, hints of worries could be seen in her autumn eyes. She was really worried about Duan Ling Tian's safety.

The reason Duan Ling Tian got involved with Zhao Ji was all due to her. For this reason, she felt extremely guilty.

"No wonder you dare you to injure Little Junior Brother! You're indeed bold!" Zhao Hei Tu's gaze also landed on Duan Ling Tian when he saw how Duan Ling Tian had ignored Zhao Bai Ju. His eyes were terrifyingly cold and filled with killing intent. It made Duan Ling Tian feel as though he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.

However, throughout his life, he had seen many people looking at him with such a gaze. Due to this reason, he was completely immune to it now.

Zhao Ji stared at Duan Ling Tian intently. His swollen face had a ferocious expression as he glared at Duan Ling Tian spitefully. He said through clenched teeth, "Senior Brother Bai Ju, Senior Brother Hei Tu, I want him to kneel down and apologize to me!"

Although he was extremely angry, it was not to the point where he had lost his sanity. He itched to kill Duan Ling Tian, but he knew it was impossible now. Otherwise, he would be doomed.

Despite his impressive background, he would still be punished for violating the Mystical Sky Mansion's rule if he dared to kill somebody in public in the Mystical Sky Mansion.

At that time, even his father and grandfather might not be able to save him.

Even if he managed to survive by luck, he would still be expelled from the Mystical Sky Mansion.

To Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu, the master who brought both of them back to the Mystical Sky Mansion was like a parent to them. He was someone they respected the most.

Today, the only son of their respected master, Zhao Ji, the Little Junior Brother whom they loved on account of his father, had not only been injured but also publicly slapped twice. He had been humiliated.

How could they not feel furious?

For this reason, the moment Zhao Ji's words left his mouth, Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu rose up into the air in unison. In just a blink of an eye, they appeared near Duan Ling Tian.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this moment, the sound of two gusts of wind whistled in the air. Wang Pi and another figure had appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian, shielding him.

"If you want to touch him, you'll have to go through my, Wang Fei Xuan, dead body!" A determined voice resonated from a delicate figure who shielded Duan Ling Tian. It instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The owner of the delicate figure had a sexy and seductive body with the face of an angel. It was none other than Wang Fei Xuan.

At this moment, she was shielding Duan Ling Tian behind her as though she was a tigress protecting her cubs.

She stared defiantly at Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu as though she was not afraid of death.

When everyone regained their senses, they broke into an uproar. They did not expect Wang Fei Xuan to act so ridiculously to the point of risking her life for Duan Ling Tian. Not everyone possessed such courage.

"Do you think you can stop the two of us?" After Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu heard Wang Fei Xuan's words, they looked at Wang Fei Xuan in shock.

After they had gotten over their shock, they dismissed her since they did not think too highly of her. They could tell from their Divine Consciousness that this female disciple was only at the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage. She did not have the ability to stop them at all.

When Wang Fei Xuan was standing opposite Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu, a domineering male voice said, "I don't have the habit of letting a woman protect me." Duan Ling Tian appeared in front of Wang Fei Xuan, shielding her.

He was planning to step out earlier. However, Wang Fei Xuan's action had taken him by surprise, shocking him for a moment. This was the reason he was late in stepping out.

When Wang Fei Xuan stepped out and shielded him, as he looked at her slender and graceful figure, the last of his prejudice toward her disappeared as well. He was touched by her action and had fully acknowledged her as a friend in his heart.

"I was the one invited trouble. I'm not going to fold my arms and stand idly by the side!"

When Wang Fei Xuan saw Duan Ling Tian appearing in front of her, she hastily said, "Don't worry. They won't dare to kill me!"

Unfortunately, her words were ignored by Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian knew very well that even without Wang Fei Xuan's incident, a petty person like Zhao Ji would not have let him go that easily. The outcome would be the same in the end.

Wang Fei Xuan's incident was only a catalyst and expedited things.

Due to this reason, he did not feel his dispute with Zhao Ji had anything to do with Wang Fei Xuan at all.

As Duan Ling Tian stood in front of Wang Fei Xuan, he looked at Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu. His expression was calm as though the two people standing before him were not at the Eminent Saint Stage but somebody he could easily defeat.

"Not bad. You're manly enough! However, sometimes, you need to pay a price for showing off in front of a woman. Naturally, even if you didn't show off, the price you'll have to pay is hefty as well!" Zhao Hei Tu smiled. His smile was a little chilling that it sent shivers up people's spines.

Zhao Bai Ju glanced at Duan Ling Tian coldly and said in a commanding tone, "Didn't you hear what my Little Junior Brother said? Kneel down and apologize!"

"Zhao Bai Ju, Zhao Hei Tu." At this moment, Wang Pi took a few steps forward in the air and stood next to Duan Ling Tian. He looked at Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu solemnly. "I'm sure both of you know very well who's in the wrong in today's incident… Don't cross the line!"

"What? You're going to help him and make a move, Wang Pi?" Zhao Hei Tu smiled sinisterly. "I seem to recall you lost to me previously, right?"

When Wang Pi heard his words, he could sense all the eyes in the surrounding shifting to him. His expression turned grim as he replied, "Zhao Hei Tu, Junior Brother Ling Tian's different from me. It's better for you to mentally prepare yourself if you want to lay your hands on him!"

"What do you mean" Zhao Bai Ju asked with a frown as he looked at Wang Pi.

"I'm sure both of you have heard of Junior Brother Ling Tian's innate talent prior to this. As far as I know, even Lord Mansion Master has learned about his existence." At this moment, Wang Pi spoke to Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu through Voice Transmission so nobody else knew what he was saying.

Lord Mansion Master!

The moment Wang Pi finished speaking, Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu's expressions turned grave immediately.

They knew what Wang Pi's words meant.

If Lord Mansion Master had learned about Duan Ling Tian's existence, he must be paying attention to him as well. Moreover, he might even take him as his direct disciple. He could possibly be his last disciple.

"Both of you are smart so there's no need for me to spell things out for you, right?" Wang Pi added through Voice Transmission.

Upon hearing that, Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu exchanged a glance before they looked at Zhao Ji and told him what Wang Pi had told them.

"Lord Mansion Master?" When Zhao Ji heard Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu's words, he could not help but frown as well. However, his frown eased up again very soon. He smirked as he said through Voice Transmission, "Senior Brother Bai Ju, Senior Brother Hei Tu, both of you don't have to bother with this. Wang Pi has a good relationship with Ling Tian. It's only natural for him to defend Ling Tian. As for what he said, perhaps, it's true. But, so what? Even if Lord Mansion Master plans to take Ling Tian as a direct disciple, it'll be some time in the future. Don't tell me that Lord Mansion Master is going to seek revenge from us in the future after he accepts Ling Tian as his disciple?"

When Zhao Ji looked at Duan Ling Tian again, his eyes were shining with terrifying killing intent.

"Moreover, if he kneels down and apologizes to me publicly today, Lord Mansion Master wouldn't accept him as a disciple no matter how much he has taken a liking to his innate talent. How's it possible for Lord Mansion Master to take such a person who has been humiliated as his disciple?" Zhao Ji finished in one breath as a sinister smile appeared on his face.

When Zhao Ji's words were transmitted into Zhao Bai Ju and Zhao Hei Tu's ears, it seemed to have given them a boost and a calming effect.
