2192 The Impending Storm
Once the Black Kshetra Sect’s high-ranking officials began protesting, there was no stopping them. Eventually, they even went to see the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect!
The Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect was a skinny old man dressed in black. He looked like a dried corpse, and he had a creepy vibe about him. His black robe that was embroidered with scary-looking skulls added to his creepy vibe as well. He did not look like a normal human.
Currently, the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect was in a meeting with the two remaining Great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect.
The Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect said, “Great Karmapas… If we don’t deal with this matter, the elders will not let this go. Moreover, they’re right. Now that Duan Ling Tian has returned to the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, if the Black Kshetra Sect doesn’t take action, it will cause the elders of our sect to feel dissatisfied. Not only that, but we will be a laughingstock.” A hint of viciousness could be seen in his eyes when he spoke. It was apparent he hated Duan Ling Tian to the bones.
It was only natural. After all, the person Duan Ling Tian killed was one of the Great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect. Xie Kang Xun, the Golden Lion King. He was one of the pillars of strength in the Black Kshetra Sect.
Three years ago, one of the Four Great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect, the Green Bat King, had died in the trap that was left behind by three Eminent Devils. At that time, the Black Kshetra Sect had lost one of its pillars of strength.
Wei Suo’s death was due to his greed. Although they mourned him, they had no one to blame for his death. However, the death of Xie KangXun, the Golden Lion King, was different. He was deliberately killed by someone, and they knew who the person was. They even knew about his background.
That person was none other than Duan Ling Tian, the lucky guy from the Lower Province who managed to obtain the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet. The Devilseal Tablet was taken away by an elder from the Black Kshetra Sect, Xie Zong.
After that, Duan Ling Tian came to the Upper Province and joined the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. After joining the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, his achievements were great. It did not take long before he was acknowledged as a prodigy in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect! When he left the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, he killed Xie Zong and reclaimed the Devilseal Tablet. After that, he was stuck in the trap that was left behind by three Eminent Devils and the rest was history…
The trap that killed off numerous powerhouses in the Upper Province seemed to have benefited Duan Ling Tian, making him extremely strong in just three years. For that reason, he was able to kill Golden Lion King Xie Kang Xue, one of the Four Great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect!
Without waiting for a response from the two Great Karmapas, the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect continued to say, “Duan Ling Tian seems to be keeping a lot of secrets as well. For instance, how did he survive in the trap that was left behind by three Eminent Devils? How did he raise his cultivation base so quickly in just three short years? Does his progress have something to do with the trap that was left behind by three Eminent Devils? If we can get him to tell us the truth, we can try to replicate his success and raise our cultivation base quickly as well…” Greed could be heard in the voice of the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect as he spoke.
After listening to him, the eyes of the two remaining Great Karmapas of Black Kshetra Sect lit up involuntarily.
The Violet Dragon King was a woman. She was the only female among the Four Great Karmapas in the Black Kshetra Sect. She was also the leader of the four Great Karmapas. Currently, there were only two Karmapas left, including her.
Although the Violet Dragon King wore a loose violet robe, it did nothing to hide her curvaceous body. Her beautiful long hair cascaded down her back. Although a purple veil covered the lower half of her face, her beauty still shone through from her delicate eyebrows and bright eyes. She emitted a cold and icy aura.
The other remaining Karmapa was the White Tiger King. He used to be the leader of the Karmapas before the Violet Dragon King surpa.s.sed him. He was a young man with a strong build.
Many people in the Black Kshetra Sect did not think the White Tiger King was weaker than the Violet Dragon King. After all, when both of them fought, the Violet Dragon King had always won by a small margin. This led many people to think that the White Tiger King had allowed the Violet Dragon King to win. In fact, the White Dragon King was in love with the Violet Dragon King. It was an unrequited love. It was no secret in the Black Kshetra Sect.
The White Tiger King was a handsome and lively young man who was dressed in a white robe. His eyebrows made him look heroic, and he had an imposing air about him even without trying. He looked as fierce as a tiger.
“Sect Leader, it’s true that the Black Kshetra Sect shouldn’t let this matter go… It’ll cause the elders and disciples to feel dissatisfied, it’ll cause people to laugh at us and think our sect is afraid of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. Moreover, we need to figure out what secrets Duan Ling Tian is hiding!” The Violet Dragon King spoke up first in response to the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect. Her eyes were cold when she spoke.
“Indeed.” The White Tiger King agreed with the Violet Dragon King.
The Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect was not surprised by the White Tiger King’s decision. As soon as he heard the Violet Dragon King’s words, he knew what the outcome would be. After all, the White Tiger King had always agreed with the Violet Dragon King!
“Since both of you agree with me. Both of you should come with me and see the Supreme Elder,” The Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect said urgently as he looked at the Violet Dragon King and the White Tiger King. This was his goal after all. He had wanted the two Great Karmapas to come with him to see the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect and ask him to follow them to the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect to deal with Duan Ling Tian.
The reason the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect needed the Supreme Elder to come with them was due to the Sect Leader of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. Since the Sect Leader of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect had broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, the only person who was a match for him in the Black Kshetra Sect was the Supreme Elder. It would not end well for them if they went to the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect without the Supreme Elder. The Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect knew this very well.
“En.” The Violet Dragon King nodded and left with the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect to see the Supreme Elder. She knew very well the Supreme Elder had to come with them to the Fire Wors.h.i.+p to deal with Duan Ling Tian. Otherwise, they would not be a match for the people from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect.
When the White Tiger King saw the Violet Dragon King had gotten up, he, naturally, got up as well and followed her closely like a shadow.
The Black Kshetra Sect was different from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. In the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, the Sect Leader was revered. However, in the Black Kshetra Sect, the Sect Leader did not hold much weight in the sect compared to the Supreme Elder. In fact, his position was even lower than the Violet Dragon King and the White Tiger King. This was because the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect was only ranked fourth in the sect. His cultivation base was only at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
The Violet Dragon King and the White Tiger King were both at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
As for the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, he was at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was ranked second on the Supreme Saint Ranking. He was only ranked below Nie Wu Tian, the strongest person in the Dao Martial Saint Land!
It was no surprise that the Sect Leader of Black Kshetra Sect and the two Great Karmapas managed to convince the Supreme Elder to follow them to the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect.
Soon after, this group of people flew out of the Black Kshetra Sect at lightning speed toward the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. Their target was Guardian Duan Ling Tian of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect!
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware of this. At this time, he was filled with anxiety due to a piece of news he had learned.
“They’ll execute Si Ling in three months?”
Duan Ling Tian found out that Tang Xuan had announced that he would execute Duan Si Ling.
“Three months! Three months are not enough!” Duan Ling Tian felt as though he was at his wit’s end. It was impossible for him to break through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in three months even if he entered the fourth floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da and cultivated with all his heart. Without breaking through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, it would be impossible for him to save Ke’er and their daughter.
“I have to think of a way! I must rescue Ke’er and our daughter in three months!” Duan Ling Tian was swimming in despair at this moment. He felt as though he was going to go crazy. He had not even met his daughter, but she was going to be executed in three months. He had yet to come up with a way to save her! As a father, he felt completely useless.
Duan Ling Tian finally decided to calm down and left his residence. He wandered aimlessly around the Saint Land. Sou!
At this moment, someone b.u.mped into Duan Ling Tian. When this person saw Duan Ling Tian, a horrified expression appeared on her face immediately.
