“What’s the point of pointing fingers and s.h.i.+rking responsibility now?” the Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation said coldly, “Now that we’ve received news from the Myriad Laws Academy, the only thing we can do is to send someone to the academy to verify that the prominent divine sword Duan Ling Tian used is indeed his own, not borrowed.”
Upon hearing this, an elder in the congregation asked doubtfully, “Leader, didn’t the teacher on duty in the Palace of Death already verify this matter?”
The Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation replied calmly, “The teacher on duty was Yuan Dong Chun. Yuan Dong Chun is a good friend of Yang Yu Chen, the Vice Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy. We can’t rule out the possibility of him covering for Duan Ling Tian. Hence, we have to confirm this matter ourselves. If Duan Ling Tian truly owns the prominent divine sword with a complete artifact soul, then forget it. After all, w.a.n.g Yun Sheng, Hong Li, and the others voluntarily signed the death pact. However, if we find out that Duan Ling Tian borrowed that prominent divine sword, we’ll demand an explanation from the academy!” Then, he looked at Lu Tian Feng before he continued to say, “I’ll leave this matter to you. Bring your disciple to the academy to verify this matter. It’s best that you investigate this matter honestly and not resort to dirty tricks. The academy can easily look for a neutral third party to verify this matter, and if it’s discovered that you employ dirty tricks, our Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation will have to shoulder all the blame. Remember my words. No dirty tricks.”
Lu Tian Feng nodded and said, “I understand. Don’t worry, Leader, I know what to do.”
Lu Tian Feng was sensible enough to know the right thing to do. He dared to make a move against those related to Duan Ling Tian in the lower realms because he knew there was nothing anyone could do as long as there was no evidence. At most, people would only suspect the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. However, if he played dirty tricks or acted against Duan Ling Tian when probing Duan Ling Tian’s artifact soul, the Myriad Laws Academy definitely would not let him go. After all, Duan Ling Tian had the support of Yang Yu Chen, the Vice Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy now.

…
While the high-ranking officials in the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation were in a meeting, the life-or-death battle, which was between Duan Ling Tian, w.a.n.g Yun Sheng, Hong Li, and the other three people, in the Myriad Laws Academy’s Palace of Death had also come to an end.
News about Duan Ling Tian killing w.a.n.g Yun Sheng and four disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation using a prominent divine sword with a complete artifact soul spread like a wildfire in the Myriad Laws Academy along with news that the prominent divine sword was not borrowed.
“I really didn’t expect Duan Ling Tian to own a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul! w.a.n.g Yun Sheng, Hong Li, and the others really died in vain!”
“I agree. If they knew that Duan Ling Tian owns a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul, they definitely wouldn’t agree to fight Duan Ling Tian in a life-or-death battle.”
“How could they have known? Duan Ling Tian hid his prominent divine sword for so long. During the Seven Mansions Feast, his performance was amazing, but he didn’t use his prominent divine sword with a complete artifact soul.”
“That’s not surprising. It only means that all of the young prodigies in the Seven Mansions weren’t strong enough for him to use his prominent divine sword with a complete artifact soul.”
“Didn’t you say he came from a lower realm? Where did he get a prominent divine sword with a complete artifact soul?”
“He must have obtained it from a Supreme G.o.d or a supreme powerhouse’s legacy in our Profound Energy Land. The artifact soul’s intelligence must have reached maturity so he could wield the sword.”
“He’s too lucky, right? Even among those who stumbled upon legacies of supreme powerhouses and Supreme G.o.ds, there were very few who obtained a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul!”
After the life-or-death battle, Duan Ling Tian, who was already somewhat famous in the Myriad Laws Academy, became even more famous.
There were also many people who thought it was a pity that Duan Ling Tian killed the five disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. After all, they were all outstanding young prodigies and had the potential to become Supreme G.o.ds.
Many people also thought that Duan Ling Tian’s action was not without consequences.
“The Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation has always been petty and vengeful… I’m afraid they won’t let Duan Ling Tian off so easily…”
“They won’t let Duan Ling Tian off? What else can they do? Duan Ling Tian and the congregation already had enmity between them. Duan Ling Tian had suspected that the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation of killing those related to him in the lower realms. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have challenged w.a.n.g Yun Sheng to a life-or-death battle.”
“That’s right. I also think that Duan Ling Tian planned to seek revenge by challenging w.a.n.g Yun Sheng to a life-or-death battle. It’s his way of avenging those innocent lives.”
“In any case, all the parties involved voluntarily signed the death pact. Even if the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation is unhappy, there’s nothing they can do. At the very least, they would not be able to do anything openly.”
“That’s right. As for what they do in the dark… Even if Duan Ling Tian didn’t kill those five, I don’t think the congregation would let him go in the first place…”
“Duan Ling Tian is likely aware of this so he didn’t hold back and killed those five people from the congregation.”
“If he had the chance, I don’t think Duan Ling Tian would spare any of the disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.”
“I’m afraid the congregation is going to send people here. Although the life-or-death battle has ended, they’ll definitely come to verify if that prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul truly belongs to Duan Ling Tian.”
For a time, many people discussed the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation that suffered a loss at Duan Ling Tian’s hands. They thought that the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation deserved it since they provoked Duan Ling Tian first. Otherwise, Duan Ling Tian would not have targeted w.a.n.g Yun Sheng and the others.
There were also few people who knew that Yuan Dong Chun, who was on duty in the Palace of Death during the life-or-death battle, had a good relations.h.i.+p with Yang Yu Chen, who was Duan Ling Tian’ Third Senior Brother. This knowledge brought about a new round of discussion.
As expected, the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation sent two people to the Myriad Laws Academy. They sent an old man and a woman. After meeting the high-ranking official of the academy, the academy asked Yang Yu Chen to contact Duan Ling Tian so the duo from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation could verify the owners.h.i.+p of the prominent divine artifact.
“They want to verify the owners.h.i.+p of my prominent divine sword again?” Duan Ling Tian frowned when he received the message from Yang Yu Chen.
“Yuan Dong Chun, who was on duty in the Palace of Death that day, is my friend,” Yang Yu Chen said, “The congregation is likely worried that he covered for you during the life-or-death battle. Don’t worry. They won’t dare to play any tricks. After all, we can easily find a neutral third party to verify this matter.”
After listening to Yang Yu Chen, Duan Ling Tian finally understood why Yuan Dong Chun kindly dissuaded him that day and was extremely patient. As it turned out, Yuan Dong Chun had a good relations.h.i.+p with Yang Yu Chen.
“I’ll come and pick you up now,” Yang Yu Chen said.
“Alright,” Duan Ling Tian replied.
After more than a dozen breaths, Yang Yu Chen arrived and brought Duan Ling Tian to meet the duo from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation.
During the journey, Yang Yu Chen said, “The Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation sent two people here this time. One of them is Lu Tian Feng, the Vice Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation. He’s an intermediate Supreme G.o.d, and even in the congregation, he’s known to be ruthless. Based on the news I received, he’s also likely to be the one who sent people to the lower realms to kill those related to you. However, there’s no concrete evidence to prove he’s the culprit. It’s difficult to find evidence regarding this matter, after all.”
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes glinted coldly upon hearing Yang Yu Chen’s words. It did not matter that there was no concrete evidence. As the saying went, ‘there’s no smoke without fire’. He believed that Lu Tian Feng was the one behind the killings.
Yang Yu Chen continued to say, “Lu Tian Feng is accompanied by one of his disciples who’s a rudimentary Supreme G.o.d. She’s a woman, and the artifact soul of her prominent divine artifact soul is also female. She’ll be the one to probe your artifact soul later.”
Yang Yu Chen was very calm from the beginning to the end. After all, he knew Yuan Dong Chun did not favor Duan Ling Tian because of their good relations.h.i.+p. He was also certain that Duan Ling Tian’s prominent divine artifact would not have another person’s aura. There was no doubt that the prominent divine artifact sword belonged to Duan Ling Tian.
However, a few days ago, Yang Yu Chen had been shocked when he learned that Duan Ling Tian had killed five disciples from the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation with a prominent divine artifact with a complete artifact soul. However, after thinking about it, he thought that he should not be surprised. After all, Duan Ling Tian was extremely lucky and had achieved many miraculous feats even though he was not 1,000 years old. At the very least, in the history of the Inner Palace faction, there was no one who achieved as much as Duan Ling Tian did at his age.
Yang Yu Chen said, “In any case, this is just a formality. They won’t dare to play tricks in the academy.”
“Alright,” Duan Ling Tian replied with a nod as the killing intent in his eyes slowly faded away.
Lu Tian Feng, the Vice Leader of the Lone Primordial Spirit Congregation, was an intermediate Supreme G.o.d. Currently, Duan Ling Tian was no match for him. Given the chance, he definitely would kill Duan Ling Tian, and he could do it with just a flick of his finger.
“They’re with Vice Academy Master Yu now,” Yang Yu Chen said.
“Vice Academy Master Yu?” Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow, “So he’s one of the two Vice Academy Masters from the Legacy faction?”
