“Gu Chun instigated Gu Long to kill Duan Ling Tian and caused a great calamity that resulted in the deaths of 17 fellow disciples. Since he did not personally make a move, He’ll be exempted from the death sentence, but he’ll still be punished! Gu Chun will be expelled from the Black Turtle Sanctum and Fire Worship Sect. He’s not allowed to ever join the Fire Worship Sect ever again!” Guo Xiong announced Gu Chun’s punishment as he stopped him from chasing after Li An.
Expelled from the Fire Worship Sect!
Horror dawned on Gu Chun as an expression of despair appeared on his face when heard Guo Xiong’s verdict.
After a while, as though he just remembered something, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian with a cold and hate-filled gaze. In his opinion, if it was not for Duan Ling Tian, he would not have ended up in this state!
Although his cultivation base would no longer be able to progress, he would not let this matter between him and Duan Ling Tian go!
He was not Duan Ling Tian’s match so he would make his move on Duan Ling Tian’s companions. After he left the Fire Worship Sect, he would investigate Duan Ling Tian’s background. He did not think Duan Ling Tian’s family and friends are more powerful than him.
Duan Ling Tian frowned when he saw the look in Gu Chun’s eyes. However, Gu Chun was as good as crippled now so he was not worried about it. Even then, he felt slightly uneasy leaving someone who hated him so much alive.
“Perhaps, I’ll follow him when he leaves the Black Turtle Sanctum and kill him to avoid future troubles?” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself.
However, he soon dismissed this idea. “It’s too dangerous. Li An might follow me and ambush me while I follow Gu Chun out.
When Duan Ling Tian looked at Gu Chun again, his eyes suddenly brightened as though he had just thought of something.
“Elder Guo!” Duan Ling Tian called out to Guo Xiong.
“Huh?” Guo Xiong regained his senses when he heard Duan Ling Tian calling him. He looked at him and asked, “Is there anything else?”
“Elder Guo, since Gu Chun is no longer a disciple of the Black Turtle Sanctum and Fire Worship Sect, can I ask that you kill him as my reward? Is that okay? If that’s okay, you won’t have to trouble Lord Sanctum Leader about my reward, Elder Guo,” Duan Ling Tian said bluntly and told him what reward he wanted.
To get rid of Gu Chun, Duan Ling Tian was willing to let go of the reward from the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum.
Swoosh!
Horror dawned on Gu Chun when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s request.
Not even in his wildest dreams did he imagine that Duan Ling Tian wanted to kill him so badly. To think he was even willing to give up the reward from the Sanctum Leader just to have him killed.
Clamor!
The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples burst into an uproar again when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s request.
“Duan Ling Tian is willing to give up the reward from Lord Sanctum Leader in order to kill Gu Chun?”
“Is he crazy? With his strength, he could just follow Gu Chun when he left the Fire Worship Sect and kill him. Does he need to give up the reward from Lord Sanctum Leader just to get Elder Guo to kill Gu Chun??”
“Crazy! He’s absolutely crazy!”
Most of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples felt that Duan Ling Tian was crazy for making such a decision.
Naturally, there was a small number of people who could see the bigger picture. “Due to the enmity between Duan Ling Tian and Elder Li An, I don’t think it’s wise for him to follow Gu Chun out. If Elder Li An follows him out as well, he would definitely die!”
“That’s true! As long as Elder Li An gets rid of the evidence, nobody will know he’s the one who killed Duan Ling Tian!”
“Apart from being careful, Duan Ling Tian is really bold and wise for being able to think so far ahead. After all, not anyone could easily give up a reward from Lord Sanctum Leader!”
“Put everything else aside, just this alone is enough for me to admire him!”
These Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples who were more astute knew what was running through Duan Ling Tian’s mind.
Guo Xiong naturally knew what Duan Ling Tian was thinking. After he looked at Duan Ling Tian for a moment, he asked, “Are you sure this is what you want and you’re willing to give up the reward from Lord Sanctum Leader?”
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded his head confidently.
The reward from the Black Turtle Sanctum’s Sanctum Leader?
To be honest, he really did not think the Sanctum Leader of Black Turtle Sanctum would give him anything of value.
Perhaps, he would give him a Divine Ability? However, he did not need one for now.
Martial tactic?
He already had the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, the Sovereign Heart Sword.
A Hundred Inscriptions Saint Weapon?
He already had one as well.
As for pills and Dao Talisman? There was nothing in particular that he wanted now.
After taking all these into consideration, he decided to give up the reward from the Sanctum Leader of Black Turtle Sanctum in exchange for Gu Chun’s life.
“Elder Guo, you can’t do this! Y-You can’t! Y-You…” Gu Chun was horrified and terror and despair could be seen in his eyes when he saw Guo Xiong shifted his attention to him after Duan Ling Tian nodded his head determinedly.
His voice was suddenly cut off.
Gu Xiong had lifted his hand and slapped them at Gu Chun, causing Gu Chun’s body to explode with a thunderous noise. A shower of blood fell from the sky, fertilizing the ground below.
“How powerful! So this is the strength of a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse?” Duan Ling Tian widened his eyes in shock when he saw this.
All of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples’ expressions had turned grave as well. When they looked at Gu Xiong again, their eyes were filled with respect.
After solving the problem and removing Gu Long’s corpse, Guo Xiong left the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples in a flash. He left as quickly as he came.
As soon as Guo Xiong left, the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples shifted their attention back to Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian finally had their full attention.
“Duan Ling Tian has actually mastered a high-grade movement Divine Ability that’s even more powerful than the Divine Ability in the Vermilion Bird Sanctum!”
“Although he only has a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, his luck is really good! Not only did he encounter a high-grade movement Divine Ability, but he even successfully comprehended and mastered it! I feel so envious!”
“He must have had a fortuitous encounter! Moreover, the assist-type Divine Ability he comprehended that can raise his strength two levels higher must also be a high-grade Divine Ability as well!”
“An ordinary Martial Cultivator with a yellow Innate Spiritual Root managed to successfully comprehend two high-grade Divine Abilities. This is really too heaven-defying!”
“Although his luck is extremely good for being able to comprehend two high-grade Divine Abilities, he’s still slightly lacking when it comes to innate talent. However, it doesn’t mean he’s weak. At the very least, he seems to show great aptitude in comprehending Divine Abilities!”
“Since he’s so good at comprehending Divine Abilities, I wonder if he’ll be able to successfully comprehend the most precious Divine Ability in the Black Turtle Sanctum, the Black Turtle Barrier!”
“That’s unlikely. The Black Turtle’s Barrier is the number one defensive Divine Ability in the Fire Worship Sect. Even among the current generation in the Fire Worship Sect, there are less than ten people who have successfully comprehended it!”
“It’s hard to say.”
The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples began to discuss among themselves again. Based on their discussion, they were more interested in the high-grade Divine Abilities Duan Ling Tian had cast earlier.
Due to the 10,000 Swords Territory blocking their visions, they did not see the other high-grade Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial. Otherwise, they would be even more shocked.
Although they did not see the high-grade offensive Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial, that Duan Ling Tian cast, some people still remembered the sounds of sword whistling in the air that disappeared as soon as it appeared before Duan Ling Tian killed Gu Long.
“I remember at the second before Gu Long died, I heard three sounds of sword whistling in the air. There are three holes on Gu Long’s body. It must have been caused by the three swords!”
“That must be a sword-type martial tactic that Duan Ling Tian cast. However, based on the fact that he managed to breach Gu Long’s defense, it’s obvious that his sword-type martial tactic is outstanding as well!”
“It’s indeed not simple! Not only that, but it might even be a sword-type martial tactic that’s a Heaven Rank Prominent Saint Grade Martial Tactic. Moreover, he must have cultivated it to the highest stage”
“It’s unfortunate that Duan Ling Tian’s Territory blocked us from seeing an amazing scene!”
The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples quickly shifted their discussion to the technique Duan Ling Tian used to kill Gu Long.
They became more excited the more they discussed this. It seemed like they were not tired at all.
Duan Ling Tian saw this and shook his head before he turned to return to his Tertius house.
However, when he turned around, he saw his Tetius house had been destroyed Gu Long.
Duan Ling Tian shook his head again and moved quickly to enter a nearby Tertius house with its door wide open. He shut the door as soon as he entered the house, not bothering about the person who was originally staying here,
If that person had any objection, he could always come to challenge him!
If Duan Ling Tian was defeated, he would give up this Tertius house.
The original owner of this Tertius house was a Mastery Exemplary Saint disciple in the Black Turtle Sanctum. He could only smile wryly when he saw Duan Ling Tian entered his Tertius house. However, he did not dare to do or say anything.
“It’s a good thing that the Tertius house that Gu Chun formerly stayed in is empty…” He muttered under his breath as he eyes landed on the Tertius house Gu Chun previously lived in,
After Duan Ling Tian entered the new Tertius house, he immediately took out the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and after asked Elder Huo’s help to guard it. Then, he entered the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to cultivate.
He could not wait to test Innate Spiritual Root that had transformed!
According to Elder Huo, he currently has the green Innate Spiritual Root. Moreover, it was a dark green Innate Spiritual Root!
“I’ve roughly experienced the transformation of the Innate Spiritual Root earlier. My speed and sense of absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy is several times faster than before! According to this speed, I’d only need three months at most to break through to the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage!”
Naturally, three months referred to the time inside of the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Three months in there was equivalent to ten days outside!
