War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2031: Did Duan Ling Tian Stir Up Trouble Again?

After Dong Lin apologized to Duan Ling Tian and left, the Fire Remuneration Palace was silent.

Dong Lin actually took the initiative to apologize to Duan Ling Tian? Duan Ling Tian was no longer banned from serving in the Enforcement Hall?

“Duan Ling Tian is quite amazing, right?”

“Although I know Elder Dong Lin’s ban would no longer be valid once Duan Ling Tian revealed he possesses a blue Innate Spiritual Root, I didn’t expect Elder Dong Lin would directly say he’s lifting the ban on Duan Ling Tian. Isn’t he going back on his words?”

“It’s more than going back on his words. Did you see? Elder Dong Lin even took the initiative to apologize to Duan Ling Tian.”

“From now on, among the more than 170 true disciples, I’ll only listen to Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian!”

“That’s right! Even that person who’s ranked first on the True Ranking might not even dare to be so rude to Elder Dong Lin!”

As the group of Saint Land disciples in the Fire Remuneration Palace regained their senses from the shock, they began to discuss among themselves. Many of them now referred to Duan Ling Tian as senior brother.

In this world where the strong ones were revered, Duan Ling Tian’s action earlier had perfectly embodied the definition of strong. It caused many Saint Land disciples to acknowledge his strength.

As the group of Saint Land disciples discussed among themselves…

“Trying to leave? Did I say you’re allowed to leave?” Duan Ling Tian’s apathetic voice resonated suddenly and attracted everyone’s attention in the Fire Remuneration Palace.

As they looked around, they saw Chen Peng who had followed Dong Lin here had somehow made his way to the great entrance of the Fire Remuneration Palace with a downtrodden expression on his face.

However, Duan Ling Tian stopped him before he could leave.

History repeated itself once again.

Chen Peng’s face turned green when Duan Ling Tian stopped him. However, he still arrogantly said, “Duan Ling Tian, w-what are you trying to do? Senior Brother Dong Lin is no longer stopping you from accepting the assignment from the Enforcement Hall. Y-you need to know when to stop!”

In his opinion, he could not show his weakness outwardly even though he was truly afraid of Duan Ling Tian.

“Know when to stop?” Duan Ling Tian burst out laughing as though he had heard a funny joke. As soon as he stopped laughing, he turned to look at Chen Peng coldly. “Are you kidding me?!”

“D-don’t act recklessly!” Chen Peng who was standing straight felt weak when he sensed Duan Ling Tian’s killing intent. He was no longer acting arrogantly like he did before.

“If you dare to move during the next three breaths, I’ll let you know what it feels like to better off dead!” Duan Ling Tian said coldly as he walked to Chen Peng until there was only a foot left between them.

Horror dawned on Chen Peng.

In the next moment, Duan Ling Tian raised his hand and moved it around at lightning speed.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

As Duan Ling Tian moved his hand, the sound of slapping began to resound in the air successively like firecrackers.

Duan Ling Tian was so fast that it did not take more than one breath for him to slap Chen Peng until his face was as swollen as a pig’s head.

Upon seeing this, the group of Saint Land disciples present on the scene could not help but gasp. Some people even touched their own faces. Although Duan Ling Tian was not slapping them, they could imagine the pain Chen Peng was experiencing.

Despite being slapped until his face was swollen, Chen Peng did not dare to move at all. This was because Duan Ling Tian had warned him that if he dared to move during the next three breaths, he would make him wish he was better off dead. Naturally, he did not doubt Duan Ling Tian’s words. For this reason, he remained unmoving even though his face had become swollen from Duan Ling Tian’s slaps. Even then, a flame of fury burned in the depths of his eyes. This was the first time in his life that he had suffered from such a humiliation!

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!

The sound of slapping continued to resonate.

After the span of two breaths, Duan Ling Tian even broke a few teeth in Chen Peng’s mouth. Fresh blood that appeared dazzling began to drip from the corner of his mouth.

After the span of three breaths, Duan Ling Tian finally stopped.

Currently, apart from Chen Peng’s swollen face, it seemed as though he was bleeding profusely as well.

“If you dare to act this way again, I’ll make you wish you’re better off dead!” Duan Ling Tian looked at Chen Peng coldly after he stopped slapping him and said in a low voice, “Scram!”

Scram!

The instant Duan Ling Tian’s words left his mouth, Chen Peng was so frightened that he quickly moved, making way for Duan Ling Tian.

After Chen Peng made way for Duan Ling Tian, the group of Saint Land disciples automatically made way for him as well as he walked to the counter. “Elder, can I accept the assignment now?”

“Of course you can!” How could the Fire Remuneration Palace’s elder standing behind the counter be so bold as to stop Duan Ling Tian from accepting the assignment from the Enforcement Hall? After he replied Duan Ling Tian, he quickly dealt with everything for Duan Ling Tian.

Dong Lin who had banned Duan Ling Tian from serving in the Enforcement Hall had already yielded, how could the Fire Remuneration Palace’s elder make things difficult for Duan Ling Tian? In terms of strength, he might not necessarily be able to defeat Dong Lin. In terms of background, he was not a match for Dong Lin at all. If he continued to make things difficult for Duan Ling Tian, he would be the only one who was making things difficult for Duan Ling Tian today.

When Chen Peng saw Duan Ling Tian had gone to accept the assignment from the Enforcement Hall and no longer bothered with him, he left the Fire Remuneration Palace dejectedly under the gaze of the Saint Land disciples. After he left the Fire Remuneration Palace, the flame of wrath buried deep in his eyes threatened to spill out.

‘Duan Ling Tian… Duan Ling Tian… I’ll never let you go! I’ll never let you go!’ Chen Peng thought to himself as anger and hatred burned in his heart. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten that his innate talent and strength would probably never catch up to Duan Ling Tian.

…

In the Fire Remuneration Palace, after the Fire Remuneration Palace’s elder standing behind the counter finished handling the procedure for Duan Ling Tian, he told him, “Duan Ling Tian, take this certificate to the Enforcement Hall tomorrow and you can directly replace the true disciples on duty. In the next month, you’ll have to stay in the Enforcement Hall. You’re not allowed to leave without permission.” At the same time, he handed a certificate to Duan Ling Tian.

“Thank you, elder.” After receiving the certificate and expressing his gratitude, Duan Ling Tian left the Fire Remuneration Palace without so much as turning his head.

After Duan Ling Tian left the Fire Remuneration Palace, it burst into a commotion again. When the Saint Land disciples spoke about Duan Ling Tian, it was obvious they all deeply respected him now.

It did not take long for word of the incident in the Fire Remuneration Palace to spread.

“Duan Ling Tian created trouble again?”

“It seems like it… On top of that, this time the one whom he picked on is the Enforcement Hall’s Elder Dong Lin who has a great background!”

“Dong Lin? Isn’t he the only son of the Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Master Dong?”

“That’s him!”

“It seems like Duan Ling Tian’s not the one who went looking for trouble. Elder Dong Lin was the one who looked for trouble with him. Using Duan Ling Tian’s yellow Innate Spiritual Root as an excuse, he banned him from serving in the Enforcement Hall.”

“I heard about it as well. It’s said that Duan Ling Tian publicly revealed his blue Innate Spiritual Root. I can’t believe Duan Ling Tian actually has a blue Innate Spiritual Root!”

“Not only does he possess a blue Innate Spiritual Root, but he has even mastered four high-grade Divine Abilities. Duan Ling Tian is really heaven-defying!”

Many people quickly learned about Duan Ling Tian possessing a blue Innate Spiritual Root, causing an uproar in the Fire Worship Sect!

Previously, everyone thought Duan Ling Tian was only talented in mastering and comprehending Divine Abilities. They thought God was jealous of him and only gave him a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. However, they finally learned that Duan Ling Tian’s so-called yellow Innate Spiritual Root was merely a rumor. He actually possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root!

Previously, he was not punished for killing the Black Turtle Sanctum’s First Silver Flame Elder Li An’s grand disciple, Yuan Hong, and his brother, Yuan Kuang, because he had a blue Innate Spiritual Root. He was only given a slap on the wrist and was sentenced to serving in the Four Symbols Sanctum’s First Mine for ten years.

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian did not even stay for a month after he arrived in the Four Symbols Sanctum’s First Mine. This was because he already possessed the qualifications to enter the Saint Land and to become a Saint Land disciple.

The news of Duan Ling Tian possessing a blue Innate Spiritual Root finally traveled to the Four Symbols Sanctums. It caused a commotion there as well.

“Duan Ling Tian has a blue Innate Spiritual Root? How’s that possible?”

The instant the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples heard this news, many of them had the same reaction.

After all, the news about Duan Ling Tian only possessing a yellow Innate Spiritual Root came from the Black Turtle Sanctum. This had been engraved into everyone’s hearts.

“It seems like Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian knows a technique to conceal his Innate Spiritual Root. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have tested yellow at that time!” Many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples in the Black Turtle Sanctum exclaimed. They were very respectful when they spoke about Duan Ling Tian.
