2197 The Mighty Sect Leader of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sec
Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, had spoken so coldly that it sent chills running up everyone’s spines.
“Previously, I could only use my movement Divine Ability to run away from you, Elder Lang, but today, I would like to have a battle with you to see how wide the gap is between our strength!” Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, replied at a neither hurried nor slow tone in response to Lang Qin Jian. Based on his words, it was clear he was unafraid of Lang Qian Jin.
Previously, when Tang Xuan’s cultivation base was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he would have to flee whenever he fought with Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, since he was not a match for him. The movement Divine Ability that had been taught to him by ‘that person’, a G.o.d-like powerhouse, was so powerful that even a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage could not catch up to him even though his cultivation base was only at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
In the past, Tang Xuan had relied on this movement Divine Ability to intimidate the Black Kshetra Sect and the Heaven Divination Sect. Due to this movement Divine Ability, these two sects did not dare to act carelessly at all. Without it, the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect that did not have a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage previously would have been annihilated by the Black Kshetra Sect or the Heaven Divination Sect!
“You…” Tang Xuan’s answer did not only surprise the two Karmapas, Sect Leader, and Vice Sect Leaders of Black Kshetra Sect, but it also surprised the Duan Ling Tian and the other four Guardians.
They did not expect the Sect Leader of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect would directly say he wanted to fight with the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect as soon as he spoke. They thought Tang Xuan would be a little tactful. Who knew he would be so domineering? None of them knew that he was so confident because of ‘that person’, a G.o.d-like powerhouse, whom he had encountered years ago.
Tang Xuan would not let any harm come to Duan Ling Tian before he could ascertain if he was the one who defiled the Saint Girl. If Duan Ling Tian was truly the man from the Lower Province who had defiled the Saint Girl, and Tang Xuan had let him die, ‘that G.o.d-like person’ would be furious for not being able to kill Duan Ling Tian with his own hands.
Based on the strength of ‘that G.o.d-like person, not only Tang Xuan, but the entire Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect would suffer from his wrath.
For this reason, Tang Xuan was unyielding when faced with Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, who wanted to kill Duan Ling Tian. He did not think twice about fighting Lang Qian Jin at all. Even when his cultivation base was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, he was not afraid of Lang Qian Jin at all. Why would he be afraid of Lang Qian Jin now that he had broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage? In fact, since he has broken through, he had been eager to have a battle with Lang Qian Jin.
Previously, Tang Xuan could only flee every time he encountered Lang Qian Jin, causing him to feel discontented. Now, he finally possessed the strength to fight Lang Qian Jin! Naturally, if it was not because of ‘that G.o.d-like powerhouse’, he would not have acted so domineeringly even if he wanted to have a battle with Lang Qian Jin. He had only acted so forcefully because of his fear of ‘that G.o.d-like powerhouse’.
Don’t tell me Duan Ling Tian is the illegitimate child of the Sect Leader of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect?’ This thought appeared in the minds of many people from the Black Kshetra Sect. They had no idea why Tang Xuan would act in such a way if this was not the case. Why would Tang Xuan protect Duan Ling Tian to this extent if he was not Duan Ling Tian’s father? The Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, was indeed valuable. However, it was not so precious to the extent that he would ruin the diplomatic relations.h.i.+p between the two sects, right?
The people from the Black Kshetra Sect were not the only ones who had such thoughts, but even the four Guardians of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect found Tang Xuan’s action strange as well. However, they knew Duan Ling Tian had no blood relations with the Sect Leader of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect!
Isn’t the Sect Leader of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect a little too protective of me? It feels a little too much…’ Even Duan Ling Tian was slightly confused by how willing Tang Xuan was to protect him. Why was Tang Xuan so willing to disregard the diplomatic relations.h.i.+p with the Black Kshetra Sect and risk his life to fight the second strongest person in the Dao Martial Saint Land, Lang Qian Jin, for his sake?
“Good! Good!” Lang Qian Jin said through gritted teeth. It was obvious that he was extremely furious.
Despite how eager Tang Xuan was to have an all-out battle with Lang Qian Jin, it was impossible for Lang Qian Jin to do that. It would not be a problem if it was the former Tang Xuan. However, Tang Xuan had already broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Tang Xuan might not be as strong as him, but the gap between their strength could not be that wide. Moreover, Tang Xuan had also mastered the mysterious movement Divine Ability that caused him to be undefeatable. There was no benefit to him battling Tang Xuan. For this reason, he did not wish to fight with Tang Xuan unless it was absolutely necessary.
Lang Qian Jin took a deep breath to suppress his anger before he said in a deep voice, “Tang Xuan! I know you place great importance on the Devilseal Tablet that Duan Ling Tian possesses, and I know he might have hidden the Devilseal Tablet… However, if you’re willing to hand him over, I, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, will swear on the lightning penalty oath that no matter who obtains the Devilseal Tablet in the future, I will s.n.a.t.c.h it back and return it to you.”
Based on Lang Qian Jin’s words, it was obvious he thought Tang Xuan was protecting Duan Ling Tian because of the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet. He did not care about the Devilseal Tablet at all! He was even willing to swear on the lightning penalty oath that he would s.n.a.t.c.h back and return the Devilseal Tablet to Tang Xuan. He only wanted to kill Duan Ling Tian! He had said all this to take a step back and leave a way out for himself.
Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, is taking a step back?’ Duan Ling Tian was bewildered. He thought Lang Qian Jin would be so furious that a fight would erupt between him and Tang Xuan. He did not expect Lang Qian Jin would compromise. However, after giving it some thought, he began to understand what was going on.
If the powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage fought, it would be earth-shattering. Coupled with the fact that Tang Xuan had mastered a mysterious Divine Ability that was known as the number one movement Divine Ability in the Dao Martial Saint Land, it would not be beneficial for Lang Qian Jin to fight with Tang Xuan.
Most people understood Lang Qian Jin’s actions, but they could help but feel surprised.
As soon as Lang Qian Jin finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Tang Xuan to see how he would respond. Lang Qian Jin was willing to compromise. Would Tang Xuan compromise as well?
Even Duan Ling Tian was uncertain if Tang Xuan would compromise or not. If he was in Tang Xuan’s shoes, he would definitely choose to compromise.
However, Tang Xuan’s response shocked everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, to the core.
“Even if Duan Ling Tian doesn’t have the Devilseal Tablet, I still wouldn’t hand him over to you!” Tang Xuan said resolutely with no room for discussions.
The entire place fell silent immediately.
Duan Ling Tian had a baffled expression on his face when he looked at Tang Xuan. Moreover, he seemed touched by Tang Xuan’s words. “Sect Leader…” He did not expect Tang Xuan would go to such a distance for him. Even a cold- hearted person would be moved by Tang Xuan’s action, let alone Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware of the thoughts in Tang Xuan’s mind. If he knew what was going on, he would have been worried since Tang Xuan was beginning to suspect him of being the man from the Lower Province who had defiled the Saint Girl.
When Lang Qian Jin regained his senses, he roared in anger. “Tang Xuan!” His voice sounded like an explosion, causing the air to stir. His voice that contained Saint Origin spread and enveloped the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. The first place that was affected was the White Tiger Sanctum since it was the closest.
“Tang Xuan!”
“Tang Xuan!”
Lang Qian Jin’s roar echoed in the White Tiger Sanctum and the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect.
The Saint Origin in his voice injured the eardrums of many disciples with a weak cultivation base in the White Tiger Sanctum. Blood began to flow out of their seven orifices. Some of them even fainted.
“What’s going on? Isn’t that Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect?”
“He seems very angry… Don’t tell me he’s going to fight with Lord Sect Leader?”
“My goodness! This person is a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, right? He’s ranked second on the Supreme Saint Rankings! With just his voice, he managed to injure so many disciples in our White Tiger Sanctum!”
“This is too terrifying!”
Chaos descended in the White Tiger Sanctum.
As for the other places, although they did not suffer as badly as the people in the White Tiger Sanctum did, most people still felt chills running up their spines when they heard Lang Qian Jin’s angry roar.
The Liu brothers were together. When they heard the roar, they could not help but feel worried about Duan Ling Tian. “Junior Brother Ling Tian….”
Wen Yan was in her residence when she heard the roar. She had a fierce expression on her face and her hands were clenched tightly as she muttered to herself, “Yes! Supreme Elder of the Black Kshetra Sect, you must kill that Duan Ling Tian!”
Meanwhile, Bu Hong who was staying with the Sanctum Leader of Azure Dragon Sanctum had a delighted expression on his face. It was as though he could envision Duan Ling Tian being killed. “Duan Ling Tian, you won’t be able to escape this time!”
Outside the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s estate.
Don’t tell me Duan Ling Tian is really the illegitimate child of the Sect Leader of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect?’ The few people from Black Kshetra Sect standing behind Lang Qian Jin could not help but think about this again.
