Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Over twenty days had passed. Initially, Duan Ling Tian thought the Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Master Dong Yuan Jin would look for trouble with him. However, he discovered not only did Dong Yuan Jin remain quiet, but even his son, Dong Lin, had remained quiet as well.
‘It’s a wonder news of what happened did not spread… It seems like the few Bronze Flame Elders who were present are too afraid to say anything because of Tian Dong and Dong Yuan Jin.’ It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to figure out what had happened.
If it was twenty days ago, Duan Ling Tian might have personally spread word of this since he was extremely furious at Dong Lin. However, his anger had gradually disappeared. He could no longer be bothered about Dong Lin. Moreover, he would be leaving the Enforcement Hall tomorrow.
Duan Ling Tian planned to leave the Fire Worship Sect after he left the Enforcement Hall. This was so he could find a place to raise and improve his cultivation base and Innate Spiritual Root.
Ke’er and their daughter were in a precarious situation so he did not have much time left. At this moment, every second that passed was on Ke’er and their daughter’s expense.
‘I can finally leave…’ The next day, Duan Ling Tian finally completed his service in the Enforcement Hall and was given permission to leave the hall. He had been waiting for this day for a month!
Meanwhile, the next group of true disciples who had come to serve in the Enforcement Hall had also arrived in the Main Hall.
When Duan Ling Tian was handing over his duty to a true disciple, the true disciple suddenly said, “Y-You’re Senior Brother Ling Tian?!” He was clearly excited when he recognized Duan Ling Tian.
Currently, many disciples in the Fire Worship Sect regarded Duan Ling Tian as their idol!
In less than a year after Duan Ling Tian had joined the Fire Worship Sect, on top of becoming a true disciple, he was even ranked in the top five of the True Ranking. He was currently ranked fourth!
The top three disciples were all at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. This meant Duan Ling Tian who ranked fourth on the True Ranking was widely acknowledged as the strongest true disciple below the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Most importantly, Duan Ling Tian managed to make it on the Supreme Saint Ranking. He was currently ranked at the 537th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking. He was ranked ahead of all Bronze Flame Elders and true disciples who were at the Second Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Fire Worship Sect.
Due to these reasons, Duan Ling Tian became the most popular prodigy in the Fire Worship Sect!
Duan Ling Tian nodded and only smiled in response to the excited true disciple standing before him. “From now on, you’ll take over my previous duty.”
“I’ll do my best!” The true disciple said solemnly when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.
As the other true disciples took over the duties from the previous group of true disciples, Duan Ling Tian and the others left the Main Hall of the Enforcement Hall.
Duan Ling Tian acted as though Liu Yun was a stranger to him. In everyone’s eyes, the two of them were no longer friends.
“Junior Brother Ling Tian, I heard you humiliated Dong Lin and beat him up. Is it true?” Liu Yun suddenly asked through Voice Transmission.
Their fallout was a pretense after all. Liu Yun could not help but ask Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission about this matter since he was curious.
“Senior Brother Liu Yun, where did you hear this from?” Duan Ling Tian asked in return through Voice Transmission. He had been momentarily stunned when he heard Liu Yun’s words.
Based on what Duan Ling Tian knew, this news was very well contained. He was surprised that Liu Yun had heard about it.
“I heard it from great-great-great-great grandfather. One of the Bronze Flame Elders who was present told him about it,” Liu Yun replied through Voice Transmission. After that, he said, “However, he has forbidden me from spreading this news. Don’t tell me it’s true?”
“It’s true,” Duan Ling Tian replied, “At that time, Dong Lin brought Tian Dong along with him to teach me a lesson. In the end, Tian Dong didn’t dare to harm because I had verbally threatened him. He could only watch as I taught Dong Lin a lesson.”
Duan Ling Tian had simplified the incident. However, when Liu Yun heard him, he was extremely shocked.
Tian Dong? Naturally, he was not unfamiliar with this name. Tian Dong was the Enforcement Hall’s First Silver Flame Elder. He was ranked at the 107th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking! Someone like that did not dare to harm Duan Ling Tian because of his verbal threats?
It took Liu Yun a long time before he regained his senses. He asked again, “Junior Brother Ling Tian, as far as I know, apart from being the Enforcement Hall’s First Silver Flame Elder, Tian Dong has a quick temper as well. What did you threaten him with that he didn’t even dare to harm you?”
“It’s nothing really,” Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently, “When I saw how he planned to teach me a lesson on Dong Lin’s behalf, I told him that if he dares to lay a finger on me, I’ll repay him by having a friendly match with his children and direct disciples if he doesn’t kill me!”
“You call this nothing?” Liu Yun was speechless when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s reply. He had threatened Tian Dong using his children and direct disciples, but he said it was nothing.
Although one should not involve family in matters such as this, Liu Yun did not think Duan Ling Tian was wrong. After all, Tian Dong had tried to look for trouble with him.
Would Duan Ling Tian threaten Tian Dong if he did not plan to teach him a lesson on Dong Lin’s behalf?
“What happened after that? Did Vice Hall Master Dong come looking for trouble with you?” Liu Yun’s expression turned grim when he mentioned Dong Yuan Jin’s name.
Everyone knew how ruthless and persistent Dong Yuan Jin was.
“No.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “Perhaps, he thinks his son is at fault. Coupled with the fact that the incident did not spread out, he probably couldn’t be bothered to look for trouble with me.”
“He thinks his son is at fault?” Liu Yun could not help but laugh when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He said through Voice Transmission, “Junior Brother Ling Tian, Vice Hall Master Dong regards Dong Lin as his life. Perhaps, he hasn’t made a move for now, but he’ll eventually make a move! Perhaps, he’s searching for a good opportunity to deal you a death blow. In the coming days, try not to leave the Fire Worship Sect. It would be akin to giving Dong Yuan Jin a chance to deal with you!” Liu Yun warned Duan Ling Tian solemnly.
“Alright,” Duan Ling Tian answered readily despite having made up his mind to leave the Fire Worship Sect. If he did not leave the Fire Worship Sect, he would not be able to improve his Innate Spiritual Root. Currently, he possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root. It would be difficult for him to improve it in the Fire Worship Sect.
‘That’s right!’ At this moment, an idea began to form in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. He had thought of a good reason for him to leave the Fire Worship Sect. His idea would guarantee that the Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Master Dong Yuan Jin and the Black Turtle Sanctum’s First Silver Flame Elder Li An would not find out that he left the Fire Worship Sect. However, he needed someone’s help to carry out his plan.
A figure soon emerged in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. ‘If he’s willing to help, let alone Li An, even Dong Yuan Jin wouldn’t suspect him!’
Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief after coming up with an idea to safely leave the Fire Worship Sect.
After they left the Enforcement Hall and were fast approaching the Saint Island’s Central Square, the eight true disciples who served with Duan Ling Tian and Liu Yun began to leave one by one. Some of then descended in the Central Square, and some of them left in other directions.
Only one true disciple continued to travel with Duan Ling Tian and Liu Yun as they made their way out of the Saint Island. It was obvious this true disciple planned to return to his residence.
“Junior Brother Ling Tian, I’m going to look for Brother Mu. I’m sure he must have heard about our fallout, I’m going to explain things to him so he doesn’t misunderstand!” Liu Yun bade Duan Ling Tian farewell and made his way to the Saint Land disciples’ residence.
Only the other true disciple was left traveling with Duan Ling Tian at this moment.
When Duan Ling Tian was about to leave the Saint Island to return to his residence, a thunderous voice rang out from the Central Square. “Duan Ling Tian!”
Duan Ling Tian instinctively came to a halt with a frown on his face. He was certain this was his first time hearing this voice. However, the fury and hostility in this person’s voice as he called out to him were palpable.
“Who is it?” Duan Ling Tian was confused. However, soon after, he saw two figures flying up from the Central Square toward him. With just a glance, he identified one of the two figures.
‘Wen Yan?!’ Duan Ling Tian raised his brow. He did not expect to see Wen Yan. However, he only looked at her indifferently before he shifted his eyes to the person next to her. ‘This must be the person who had called out earlier.’
After Duan Ling Tian studied this person from head to toe, he confirmed this was his first time meeting this person.
At this moment, the true disciple who had served in the Enforcement Hall with Duan Ling Tian cried out, “Senior Brother Bu Hong!” When he saw the young man standing next to Wen Yan, he quickly put some distance between himself and Duan Ling Tian as though he was afraid he would be caught in the crossfire.
