“An Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke?” Duan Ling Tian asked indifferently as he looked at Elder Hong, one of the Eight Trigrams Celestial Dukes of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.
Elder Hong and Elder Qi’s expressions changed drastically when Duan Ling Tian appeared in front of Elder Hong.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Without any warning, a streak of purple light shot out of Duan Ling Tian like a purple ribbon toward Elder Hong and bound his hands and legs together.
The high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect were stunned, and their eyes widened in disbelief when they saw Elder Hong struggling in vain to break free of the purple energy’s binding.
Similarly, the patrolling disciples from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect were in shock as well.
“How’s that possible?!”
“Heavens! Am I dreaming? Duan Ling Tian, a prominent Celestial Alchemist who’s not even 100 years old from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, managed to restrict Elder Hong’s movement? Based on Elder Hong’s expression, it seems like he’s struggling to break free!”
“Isn’t he just an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial? How could a mere Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial possess such strength? This must be a joke!”
“Th-this is outrageous!”
At this moment, a hint of fear shone in Elder Qi’s eyes as he asked Duan Ling Tian, “Y-you’re the one who killed our sect’s Six Combinations Celestial Duke?” He realized now the Six Combination Celestial Duke was not killed by a hidden powerhouse protecting Duan Ling Tian. It was clear the purple-clad young man, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, had killed the elder. Moreover, it was clear that Duan Ling Tian was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, at least, since he was able to restrict Elder Hong so effortlessly. It was impossible even for a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke to render Elder Hong completely helpless. He knew this very well since his strength and Elder Hong’s strength were equal. There was no way Duan Ling Tian was just a puny Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. It did not even occur to him that Duan Ling Tian was a Celestial King. After all, a Ten Directions Celestial Duke who was not even 100 years old was terrifying enough as it is. A Celestial King who was not even 100 years old was just absurd so it did not even cross his mind.
Faced with Elder Qi’s question, Duan Ling Tian turned slightly and looked at him. “What do you think?”
Elder Qi was about to reply when Duan Ling Tian forcefully pushed out his right hand against Elder Hong who had been bound.
“No!!!” Elder Hong wailed miserably. His cry resonated through the entire Profound Heaven Celestial Sect’s estate.
The people from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect could clearly see a purple flame that seemed to be Celestial Origin Energy shooting out of Duan Ling Tian’s hand before it engulfed Elder Hong. When the purple flame disappeared, only a Spatial Ring hovered in the spot where Elder Hong was standing just a moment ago.
When Elder Qi and the high-ranking officials of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect regained their senses, they were shocked out of their minds.
After Duan Ling Tian put away the Spatial Ring, he stared pointedly at Elder Qi and said, “After three breaths, if there’s still no one willing to summon the young master here, I’m going to continue killing!”
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Elder Qi looked at Duan Ling Tian solemnly before he said, “Master Duan, our sect leader has sentenced the young master to 10 years in closed-door cultivation in the Profound Heaven Limit to reflect on his mistake. This serves as a sign of respect for Old Ancestor He Shan’s death.”
“A closed-door cultivation as punishment? 10 years?” Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback by Elder Qi’s words. Then, he scoffed as he coldly said, “Preposterous! Sect Leader Bai Wu Ji is really good at sugarcoating things. What’s the difference between 10 years of closed-door cultivation and no punishment?”
After a beat, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed with killing intent again as he looked at Elder Qi. He said, “Another three breaths have passed…”
Elder Qi’s face paled at once when he sensed Duan Ling Tian’s killing intent.
Duan Ling Tian was about to kill Elder Qi when a few furious voices cried out in unison from afar.
“Stop at once!”
“Stop!”
At the same time, three figures moved at lightning speed and appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian, shielding Elder Qi, in just a blink of an eye.
“Greetings, Old Ancestors!” Elder Qi cried out in relief. He was almost scared to death by Duan Ling Tian. A huge wave of relief overwhelmed him when the three men appeared. Nevertheless, he did not forget to bow and greet the trio.
The trio consisted of an old man and two middle-aged men.
The old man was skinny and was dressed in a long white robe. He looked like a martial arts expert.
The two middle-aged men who shared similar appearances were clearly identical twins. One was dressed in a blue robe while the other was dressed in a green robe.
These three men were none other than the Old Ancestors of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. All three of them were Ten Directions Celestial Dukes. They were the pillars of the sect, and the reason the sect was regarded as the strongest sect in the Six Southeastern Regions.
“Greetings, Old Ancestors!” The high-ranking officials and the disciples of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect greeted the trio in unison.
Swoosh!
At this moment, another figure shot into the sky before appearing on the scene.
Duan Ling Tian found the figure rather familiar. It did not take long for him to identify the figure before the figure arrived. He narrowed his eyes that were glinting coldly. “Bai Wu Ji, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect!” Indeed, it was Bai Wu Ji, the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. Bai Wu Ji was the one who killed He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!
“Greetings, senior granduncle and junior uncles,” Bai Wu Ji greeted the three men with a bow as soon as he arrived behind them. The senior granduncle he referred to was the relatively youthful-looking old man, and the twins were his junior uncles.
After that, Elder Qi, the other high-ranking officials, and the disciples of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect bowed and greeted Bai Wu Ji. “Greetings, sect leader.”
Bai Wu Ji and the three old ancestors had come after they heard Elder Hong’s miserable cry.
At this moment, Elder Qi had finished recounting what had happened, causing the four newcomers’ expressions to change drastically. Based on Elder Qi’s words, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian was a Ten Directions Celestial Duke, at least!
‘Duan Ling Tian… is a Ten Directions Celestial Duke?’ Bai Wu Ji gulped before he stepped forward. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and solemnly said, “Master Duan. I sincerely apologize for Old Ancestor He Shan’s death. I was under the impression that he had killed my son at that time. However, when I discovered my son survived, I felt guilty. Therefore, I sent my men to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect to offer reparation for the matter… Alas, it was rejected by the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect! Regarding this matter, the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect is, indeed, at fault… If the Tai Yi Celestial Sect has any request, as long as it’s within the sect’s capability, we will surely fulfill it.” Based on his words, he was clearly ready to compromise. Although he was still rather skeptical about Duan Ling Tian’s strength, based on the reactions of the people in the surroundings, he could only begrudgingly accept it.
“Request?” A faint smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face when he heard Bai Wu Ji’s words. “Sect Leader Bai is really direct and upfront about this matter… Now that you mentioned it, I do have a request. I believe my request isn’t too big, and it shouldn’t pose any difficulties to Sect Leader Bai or the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect.”
“May I know what the request is?” An ominous feeling rose in Bai Wu Ji’s heart when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.
“I want the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect to summon Bai Yu Xuan, the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, here! If I’m not mistaken, Bai Yu Xuan is your son, right, Sect Leader Bai? It’s not a difficult task for you to summon him over, right?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at Bai Wu Ji pointedly.
Bai Wu Ji’s expression soured when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s request.
When Bai Wu Ji was hesitating over Duan Ling Tian’s request, the green-clad middle-aged man, one of the three Old Ancestors of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, scoffed. His gaze was frosty as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. It felt as though winter had arrived early.
