Chapter 2358 Tang Xuan Kneeling Before Duan Ling Tian
“I, Duan Ling Tian, am the current successor of Fog Rain Progeny of Seven Absolutes Sect!”
Duan Ling Tian’s voice and words struck everyone like a thunderbolt. Everyone, including Tang Xuan, had an expression of shock and disbelief on their faces. After all, Duan Ling Tian’s words were much too outrageous.
The successor of the Fog Rain Progeny? The Fog Rain Progeny was the First Absolute, right? The Guardian of the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect was the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny of Seven Absolutes Sect?
“This… Is this a joke?!”
“H-how’s this possible? How can Guardian Ling Tian be a member of the Seven Absolutes Sect?!”
“From what I know, the successors of the Fog Rain Progeny are usually also the sect leaders of the Seven Absolutes Sect… If Guardian Ling Tian is truly the current successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, this means he’s also the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect!”
Everyone, from the vice sect leaders to the elders and disciples, shook their heads in disbelief when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. It was too outrageous!
The Seven Absolutes Sect was the mortal enemy of the three great sects. All three sects had tried their best to eradicate the Seven Absolutes Sect…
“If Guardian Ling Tian is truly the current successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, isn’t it akin to committing suicide for him to reveal his ident.i.ty here?”
“You’re right. There’s no way he’s the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny or the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect!”
Most of the elders and disciples from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect did not really believe that Duan Ling Tian was a member of the Seven Absolutes Sect. After all, it would mean death for himself if he revealed such a thing in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. In their opinion, he had probably said it out of anger due to his dissatisfaction with the sect leader’s disapproval of his relations.h.i.+p with the Saint Girl.
“Guardian Ling Tian!” At this moment, Gan Ru Yan’s master, Qing Huo, looked at Duan Ling Tian and said solemnly, “There are some things that shouldn’t be joked about. If people take it as the truth, it would be bad!”
The other three Guardians, including Leng Ying, nodded in agreement when Qing Huo spoke.
“A joke?” When Duan Ling Tian heard Qing Huo’s words and the discussion in his surroundings, he was rendered speechless.
What are these people thinking? Did they really think he was joking? Why would he joke about something like this?
Duan Ling Tian shook his head slightly and no longer explained himself. After all, he did not think it was necessary nor was it worth his time to explain himself. Most importantly, he was too lazy to explain himself. He turned to look at Tang Xuan as his eyes turned piercing. Murderous intent rolled off of his body as he cried out, “Tang Xuan! There are two reasons why I came to the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect today. First, it’s to announce my departure from the sect. Second, I came to kill you!”
Duan Ling Tian’s robes fluttered as a wave of terrifying energy rolled off his body.
The crowd was shocked by his words.
“Guardian Ling Tian he… Not only does he plan to leave the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, but he even intends to kill Lord Sect Leader?”
“This… Is he really Guardian Ling Tian?”
“He sounds very confident. I wonder where he got his confidence from?”
“It has only been a few years since he left… Is he even capable of accomplis.h.i.+ng such a feat with his current strength?”
The people in the surroundings looked at Duan Ling Tian as though they were looking at a dead man. Although they knew Duan Ling Tian was extremely powerful based on his strength a few years ago and they knew he would have gotten stronger now, they still found it difficult to believe that he would be able to kill Tang Xuan.
Tang Xuan the Sect Leader of Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect was at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Furthermore, he was ranked fourth on the Supreme Saint Ranking. How could regular cultivators compare to him?
“Kill me?!” Tang Xuan who was stunned by Duan Ling Tian’s declaration of being the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny burst out laughing when he heard Duan Ling Tian said he had come to kill him. A hint of ridicule and disdain could be seen on his face as he laughed. He was very confident about his strength. Although he had just broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage a few years ago, he had a good comprehension of heaven and earth thanks to the powerhouse whom he suspected was from the Devata Realm. He did not think it would take long before he would undergo the Celestial Ascension Tribulation! With his current cultivation base, he was almost certain he could defeat Lang Qian Jin, the Supreme Elder of Black Kshetra Sect, and Mo Xuan, the great Oracle of Heaven Divination Sect. These people were currently ranked second and third respectively on the Supreme Saint Ranking. With his movement Divine Ability, he did not think anyone, apart from those Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestials or stronger, would be able to kill him.
“What? You don’t believe me?” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as it flashed coldly when he saw the hint of disdain and ridicule on Tang Xuan’s face.
Before Duan Ling Tian could continue, the old man who was standing behind him obediently, a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, cried out in anger, “How dare you disrespect my master! You’re seeking death!” He seemed to have disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.
Whoos.h.!.+
Chen Yi Ru appeared out of thin air in front of Tang Xuan, causing Tang Xuan to be taken aback. He thought to himself, ‘Even an Eminent Celestial wouldn’t be able to move so quickly without me noticing. C-could he be a Bodiless Celestial?’ After all, he was confident that only Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestials or those who were stronger would be able to move without him noticing it. He was confused. ‘However, why would a Bodiless Celestial address Duan Ling Tian as master?’
Naturally, while all these thoughts were flitting through Tang Xuan’s mind, he did not forget to mobilize his Saint Origin and cast his movement Divine Ability that was taught to him by that G.o.d-like powerhouse. His movement divine ability was much superior compared to all the movement Divine Abilities in the Dao Martial Saint Land. It was widely acknowledged as the best movement Divine Ability in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
When Chen Yi Ru saw Tang Xuan was trying to escape, a contemptuous expression appeared on his face as he said, “Trying to escape?”
An overwhelming force slammed against Tang Xuan and shrouded him with a flick of Chen Yi Ru’s fingers. Chen Yi Ru’s tornado-like force dispelled and suppressed all the Saint Origin that Tang Xuan had mobilized, causing Tang Xuan’s movement Divine Ability to stop working.
To have one’s Saint Origin forcefully dispelled and suppressed would take a toll on one’s body. Tang Xuan instantly threw up blood and his body swayed as though he was going to pa.s.s out.
‘This… How’s this possible?!’ Tang Xuan felt waves upon waves of terror crashed onto him. Even a Third Tribulation Bodiless Celestial would not be capable of dispelling and suppressing his Saint Origin and stopping his movement Divine Ability. An expression of fear appeared on Tang Xuan’s face when he looked at the person in front of him. ‘C-could he be a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?’ Before he could study that person’s appearance in detail, that person had flicked his fingers again. The force that slammed into Tang Xuan bound him immediately.
Tang Xuan was still reeling from all this when he felt a force hitting the back of his knees. It caused him to fall on his knees immediately. When his mind stopped reeling, he finally realized what the force had made him do. He was currently kneeling in front of Duan Ling Tian! No matter how hard he struggled to break free, it was all in vain.
Tang Xuan who had been forced to kneel in front of Duan Ling Tian could only see the hems of Duan Ling Tian’s robes and his boots. He could not even lift his head. He began to panic. ‘How did Duan Ling Tian gain a follower who’s stronger than a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial?!’
At this moment, the people from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect finally regained their senses. When they saw the scene before their eyes, they were thoroughly shocked again.
“This…”
