“Elder Deng, kill them!” Upon hearing the good-for-nothing rich kid’s words, Duan Ling Tian and his two companions’ expressions turned grave immediately. They did not expect this good-for-nothing rich kid would be so cruel. It was just a small dispute, and he did not suffer any losses, and yet, he still wanted to kill them.

Duan Ling Tian looked at the good-for-nothing rich kid as his eyes gleamed piercingly.

Currently, he had already begun to activate the Sun True Origin in his body. He was ready to activate his Dragon Energy and transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior! Not only that, but he planned to use his Jasper Celestial Sword as well.

Naturally, even if he used his Jasper Celestial Sword, he was not confident in going against the old man who was at the Quintessential Saint Stage.

After all, the Jasper Celestial Sword relied on the Sun True Origin in his body, and transforming into a Dragon Warrior did not give any boost to his Jasper Celestial Sword at all.

He could only rely on the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, at most!

‘With the help of the Elementary Devouring Tactic, my Sun True Origin should be able to to rise to a stage close to the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage for a short time. If this old man is only an Early Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse, I’m confident I can kill him with the help of the Jasper Celestial Sword! However, if he’s an Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse, I’m only 30% confident I can kill him. If he’s a powerhouse at the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage or above, it’ll be impossible for me to kill him!’ At this moment, various thoughts ran through Duan Ling Tian’s mind.

‘However, no matter what, this man needs to die!’ When Duan Ling Tian looked at the finely-dressed young man, killing intent shone in his eyes.

Even if the old man made his move to kill them, whether he was able to kill the old man with the Jasper Celestial Sword or not, he would use this good-for-nothing young man as his shield!

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian’s merciless side began to show itself!

“Second Young Master, we’re right outside of the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Sanctums.” When the old man heard the good-for-nothing rich kid’s order, he frowned a little. He did not make a move. Instead, he transmitted his voice to the young man.

As a Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse, he had good eyesight so he already noticed the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples who were patrolling around the area. Not only that, it seemed like the disciples had already noticed the commotion and were making their way over.

The Four Symbols Sanctums of the Fire Worship Sect!

Upon hearing the old man’s words, a hint of dread could be seen in the good-for-nothing rich kid’s eyes. He immediately looked at Duan Ling Tian and his two companions before he mocked them with a nasty expression on his face, “You three bumpkins, count yourself lucky! If this isn’t the territory of the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Sanctums, all of you would’ve died today! Not only that, but let me warn you. It’s better for you if you give up on joining the Fire Worship Sect. Otherwise, I, Yang Wu, will definitely torment all of you until you die!”

After saying such fierce words, the good-for-nothing rich kid called Yang Wu brought the old man away and entered the estate of the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Sanctums.

At the same time, other than Duan Ling Tian, Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi sighed in relief at surviving the disaster.

However, Gu Li’s expression quickly turned grim as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and smiled wryly. “Junior Brother Ling Tian, do you think I should’ve just obediently stayed in the Lower Province?”

“Huh?” Duan Ling Tian shifted his gaze from Yang Wu and that old man to Gu Li. “Why?”

“Initially, I thought my innate talent and strength are not too bad. However, after we arrived in the Upper Province, we were imprisoned. And now, I can’t even compare to a good-for-nothing rich kid. Should I have just stayed obediently in the Lower Province and compete to become the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion instead?” Gu Li smiled bitterly. He felt the Upper Province was filled with danger.

“Senior Brother Gu Li, I’m sure Yang Wu must have an extraordinary background for daring to act so arrogantly in the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Sanctums. For this reason, you don’t have to compare the current you to him. After all, the cultivation resources you’ve enjoyed previously are not comparable to his. On the other hand, he’s actually not much stronger than you are.” Duan Ling Tian consoled Gu Li as he shook his head.

“Little brother, you’re right. Yang Wu is the second son of the fifth elder from the Northern Plethora Sect, a first-rate sect in the north of the Western Region. From young, he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. It’s impossible for people with ordinary background to compare to him.” At this moment, one of the few people who was standing in the distance reminded them with good intention.

“If I were you, I’d give up on entering the Fire Worship Sect just as Yang Wu has said. After he has entered the Fire Worship Sect, in addition to having a powerhouse protecting him, his elder brother is also a Fire Worship Sect’s disciple. It’s said that his elder brother has already entered the Saint Land and became a true elite disciple of the Fire Worship Sect! His elder brother must be even stronger than the powerhouse protecting him.” Soon after, another person warned Duan Ling Tian and his two companions.

“Not only that, but when all of you reached the Four Symbols Sanctums, it’s not like you’ll get to pick the Sanctum you like. Everyone will be split up. You’ll have to go to whichever Sanctum you’re sent to. Perhaps, all of you will be lucky enough to have all three or two of you sent to the same Sanctum. However, there’s also a possibility of the three of you being sent to three different Sanctums.” Duan Ling Tian and his two companions finally learned why Yang Wu had called them bumpkins earlier.

However, since the situation had escalated to this extent, this was no longer important.

After a while, the few spectators left. Only Duan Ling Tian and his two companions were left in this area.

In the sky far away, the patrolling disciples from the Four Symbols Sanctums had left as well when they saw the commotion had died down.

“So he’s actually the son of an elder from an Upper Province’s first-rate force. To think I doubted myself because of him. Come to think of it, I was really behaving ridiculously!” Gu Li mocked himself. Even so, his eyes gleamed confidently.

As long as he managed to enter the Fire Worship Sect, he was confident he would be able to defeat Yang Wu and trample on him in the near future! After all, Yang Wu grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, but he was not much stronger than him.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, Palace Master Zhu, let’s go to the Four Symbols Sanctums!” Gu Li motioned to Duan Ling Tian and Palace Master Zhu to leave. He took the lead and leaped across the range of mountains as though he had been injected with a boost.

At this moment, he was eager to join the Fire Worship Sect as soon as possible and use the Fire Worship Sect’s resources to quickly raise his strength. Only then would he be able to catch up to Yang Wu and surpass him!

Currently, his number one goal was to work hard and surpass Yang Wu.

Duan Ling Tian understood how he felt. However, before he chased up to Gu Li, he first looked at Zhu Lu Qi and said, “Palace Master Zhu, the Fire Worship Sect seems to be more dangerous than what we’ve imagined. Perhaps, you…”

“What? Both of you young men are not afraid, don’t tell me this old man is afraid?” Zhu Lu Qi interrupted Duan Ling Tian. Naturally, he knew what Duan Ling Tian wanted to say. He was going to advise Zhu Lu Qi and ask him to leave.

The moment Zhu Lu Qi finished speaking, he did not wait for Duan Ling Tian’s response as he flew away to chase after Gu Li.

Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly. He knew that he had wasted his breath. He instantly chased after them as well.

“Is this the Black Turtle Sanctum of the Four Symbols Sanctums?” After going through the range of mountains, the first thing that entered Duan Ling Tian’s sight was a stretch of buildings.

As he looked down on these buildings, he discovered a fire was lit on top of all of the buildings. Not only that, but it was apparent these flames were specially arranged to form the shape of a gigantic Black Turtle!

The Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Sanctum would recruit a group of disciples every three years. As it turned out, it was the Black Turtle Sanctum’s turn to host the people who came to participate in the recruitment.

After everyone who came to participate in the recruitment gathered at the Black Turtle Sanctum, the people from the Azure Dragon Sanctum, White Tiger Sanctum, and Vermilion Bird Sanctum would also come to recruit some of the participants. They would pick the recruits and bring them back to their Sanctums to undergo the assessment. Only those who passed the assessment would become the Sanctum’s disciples.

This was the reason all the participants were gathered at the Black Turtle Sanctum.

“So many people!” After Duan Ling Tian and his two companions had arrived at the Black Turtle Sanctum, they saw the sea of people before them. There were at least several thousands of people. Duan Ling Tian and his two companions were inconspicuous in the midst of the sea of people. However, there were still some people who noticed them.

“Tsk tsk… Looks like three of you bumpkins won’t give up until all hope is lost! I hope three of you will put on a good show and pass the assessment of the Four Symbols Sanctums so you can become my playthings! At that time, I’ll play with you and slowly torment all of you to death!” Yang Wu said with a sneer as he brought the old man with him and appeared before Duan Ling Tian and his two companions. His tone was filled with condescension and arrogance. When he finished speaking, he eyes even gleamed with killing intent.

Gu Li’s expression turned grave.

Zhu Lu Qi’s eyes shone coldly.

“Idiot!” Duan Ling Tian spat out a word indifferently in a neither hurried nor slow manner.

His word was sharp.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s word, Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi felt a sense of joy and satisfaction. However, they felt a little worried for his safety as well. Both of them instantly moved closer to Duan Ling Tian as they looked at the old man standing behind Yang Wu with a hint of dread in their eyes.

As expected, the moment Duan Ling Tian’s words left his mouth, the old man’s expression turned grave while his gaze became as sharp as a knife.

“Y-You actually dare to call me an idiot?” At the same time, Yang Wu who was stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s insult regained his senses. He stared at Duan Ling Tian as though he was seeing a ghost.

He had lived for so long, but this was his first time being called an idiot to his face!

“Y-you’re seeking death!” Yang Wu became furious after a moment of speechlessness. A terrifying killing intent flashed in his eyes as his body moved forward to charge at Duan Ling Tian like a gust of wind.

The old man behind him immediately used his energy to lock Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi in place to prevent them from helping Duan Ling Tian.

As for Duan Ling Tian, since he looked so young, the old man did not think he was a match for his young master.

Duan Ling Tian smirked coldly and was about to make a move against Yang Wu when a thunderous voice sounded above the Black Turtle Sanctum, causing the entire place to fall silent.

“How dare you?!”

At the same time, a horrifying energy appeared in between Duan Ling Tian and Yang Wu out of nowhere and exploded without warning.
