The core disciples who doubted Duan Ling Tian began to waver when they heard Duan Ling Tian was willing to swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath. Then, their doubts vanished completely when they saw the drastic
change in Shangguan Xiong Feng’s expression.
Nonetheless, everyone shuddered inwardly when they saw Duan Ling Tian openly confronting Shangguan Xiong Feng. In their eyes, Duan Ling Tian’s action was no different from seeking death, after all. Although Duan
Ling Tian was a rare talent that appeared once in 10,000 years, he did not have an extraordinary background. On the contrary, Shangguan Xiong Feng was the beloved disciple of one of the Supreme Elders of the
Hidden Fog Sect. With the status of Shangguan Xiong Feng’s master in the Hidden Fog Sect, even if Shangguan Xiong Feng broke the rules and killed Duan Ling Tian, Shangguan Xiong Feng would only be lightly
punished.
“So? Do you dare to swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a sneer.
Meanwhile, Long Xiao, who was standing next to Shangguan Xiong Feng, was shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s openly hostile and daring behavior. Not only did Duan Ling Tian challenge him, but Duan Ling Tian dared to
challenge Shangguan Xiong Feng as well. Did Duan Ling Tian think they did not dare to kill him?
“Long Xiao, he’s mine to kill,” Shangguan Xiong Feng said in a low voice. His body trembled slightly as he tried to suppress his anger. As soon as his voice fell, he charged toward Duan Ling Tian.
Long Xiao was momentarily taken aback. When he regained his senses, he sighed in relief. His goal was to kill Duan Ling Tian to vent his anger. It did not matter to him who killed Duan Ling Tian as long as Duan Ling
Tian died. With this, he said loudly, “Shangguan Xiong Feng, you can kill him, but you owe me a favor!”
“Alright,” Shangguan Xiong Feng replied without turning back.
The crowd watched in trepidation as Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao blatantly disregarded the rules of the Hidden Fog Sect. They looked at Duan Ling Tian with pity, knowing that Shangguan Xiong Feng and
Long Xiao would not be punished for their actions due to their masters’ status in the Hidden Fog Sect. They sighed regretfully.
“What a pity…”
“The Hidden Fog Sect is going to lose a prodigy comparable to Xue Hai Chuan because of Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao!”
At the same time, Zhang Jin, the elder who previously led Duan Ling Tian to the core disciples’ cultivation ground, silently watched from afar. As the elder on duty at the core disciples’ cultivation ground, he should
intervene in this dispute between core disciples. However, he got a case of the cold feet when he saw the parties involved were Long Xiao and Shangguan Xiong Feng. He might be punished by the sect for failing to
carry out his duty, but he would die if he stopped Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao now. Hence, despite feeling regretful, he could only sigh as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
Zhang Jin lamented inwardly, ‘Duan Ling Tian, why did you return when you know they want to kill you? Even if you’ve become a rudimentary King of Gods, you’re still no match for either one of them.’
At the same time, the core disciples in the surroundings began to send messages to their friends, telling their friends that Shangguan Xiong Feng had openly made a move to kill Duan Ling Tian.
ews of this spread like a wildfire.
Even Tang Chun received news of this. His expression turned gloomy as he thought to himself, ‘When did Duan Ling Tian offend Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao? Did Long Xiao go to King Descending City
previously to kill Duan Ling Tian? Heavens! Duan Ling Tian’s identity isn’t simple. If he dies in the Hidden Fog Sect, it’ll be…’
Chills ran up Tang Chun’s spine when he thought about the consequences. He had seen how fearful the Zhong clan was of Duan Ling Tian while they were in the restaurant in Skywind City. It did not take long for Duan
Ling Tian to figure out that Duan Ling Tian had to have an extraordinary background. He speculated that Duan Ling Tian had to come from a lord-rank force at the very least. Since then, he had pestered the ancestor
of the Zhong clan repeatedly for answers but to no avail. It was not until recently that the ancestor of the Zhong clan had grown tired of his pestering and told him about how Duan Ling Tian was in the company of a
teenage girl who was protected by an expert who was at the very least an extraordinary rudimentary Lord of Gods.
n the Hidden Fog Sect, the only four extraordinary rudimentary Lords of Gods were supreme elders of the sect. One could imagine what kind of force the teenage girl belonged to for her bodyguard who was an
extraordinary rudimentary Lord of Gods to only be a personal guard. It was likely that the teenager and her guard were from an emperor-rank force.
‘This is bad!’ Tang Chun thought to himself. He could not help but shudder when he thought about the consequences if Duan Ling Tian was killed by Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao.
While Tang Chun was panicking, he suddenly received a message from his grandniece, Tang Wu Yan.
“Junior granduncle! You have to save Duan Ling Tian!” Tang Wu Yan was clearly anxious.
Tang Chun regained his senses and hastily responded to Tang Wu Yan before he rushed toward the core disciples’ cultivation ground. He had to stop Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao. Otherwise, unless the Flying
Dragon Sect was willing to intervene, the Hidden Fog Sect would meet with a disaster.
At the same time, Tang Chun contacted Murong Sui Feng, the dean of the Hidden Fog Academy and the Vice Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect. He quickly recounted what was happening and shared the information
he had obtained from the Zhong clan.
“Vice Sect Leader Muring, do you remember the Zhou clan’s auction? Do you remember the mysterious teenage girl who was accompanied by a powerful Lord of Gods? The young man in the room with them who
obtained the three Divine Pills was Duan Ling Tian! I verified this matter with the Zhong clan. At that time, someone from the Zhong clan had entered Duan Ling Tian’s room and recognized him. Vice Sect Leader
Murong, I don’t have the sect leader’s Soul Pearl. You have to contact the sect leader immediately and tell him to stop Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao from killing Duan Ling Tian!”
Tang Chun was afraid it would be too late when he arrived at the cultivation ground so he had hoped Murong Sui Feng would be able to inform the Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect to stop Shangguan Xiong Feng and
Long Xiao. The sect leader would be able to quickly contact the two supreme elders who would be able to in turn stop their respective disciples. He believed if the sect leader knew of the severity of the matter, the sect
leader would definitely stop Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao.
At the same time, Murong Sui Feng was shocked when he heard Tang Chun’s words. He did not waste time and hurriedly sent a message to the Vice Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect.
The expression of the Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect changed drastically after receiving Murong Sui Feng’s message. He asked, “Are you sure Duan Ling Tian is that young man from the Zhou clan’s auction?”
Murong Sui Feng and the Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect had joined the sect at the same time so they had a good relationship. They often chatted so the sect leader was aware of the incident during the Zhou clan’s
auction. His heart skipped a beat when he thought about how Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao intended to kill Duan Ling Tian.
Murong Sui Feng said anxiously, “The members of the Zhong clan in Skywind City can verify this matter. Sect leader, we must stop Shangguang Xiong Feng and Long Xiao immediately! It’s not too late for us to verify
this matter again after we stop them! Otherwise, it’d be too late! Are you willing to risk it?”
The Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect quickly regained his senses and sent a message to Supreme Elder Lei and Supreme Elder Feng to stop their respective disciples from killing Duan Ling Tian.
Supreme Elder Lei and Supreme Elder Feng were naturally shocked when they learned of the matter.
“Duan Ling Tian has an extraordinary background? He’s the brother of a girl whose personal guard is a Lord of Gods?”
“A personal guard who’s a top rudimentary Lord of Gods?!”
Supreme Elder Lei thought to himself, ‘No wonder Duan Ling Tian refused to become my disciple! As it turns out, he has an extraordinary background!’
“I must stop Xiao’er at once!”
“I must stop Xiong Feng!”
When the two Supreme Elders brought out their respective disciples’ Soul Pearls from their Spatial Rings, they discovered that their disciples’ Soul Pearls had shattered. .
