"Brother Ling Tian."
Just when Duan Lingtian was worried about Han Xuenai's safety, a familiar voice came from afar, causing Duan Lingtian to heave a sigh of relief.
"Xue Nai."
It was a young girl in yellow who came along with the voice. It was Han Xuenai.
"Brother Ling Tian, what happened here? I heard a few loud noises coming from here. "
Han Xuenai asked.
"Xue Nai, where did you go?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously and did not answer Han Xuenai for the time being.
"I encountered an Illusory Formation earlier … Initially, that Illusory Formation was nothing but I wanted to see what would appear in the Illusory Formation so I went after the enemy in the Illusory Formation."
Han Xuenai recalled as she said, "After that, I realized all of you were gone after I left the Illusory Formation … I must've gone too far."
"I searched for a long time … I only rushed back when I heard the noises here."
Han Xuenai finished in one breath.
"You said … the enemy in the Illusory Formation that you faced ran away?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Yes."
Han Xuenai nodded.
"It seems like someone lured you away on purpose."
Duan Lingtian said.
Including him, out of the 88 people who were with him, only Han Xuenai had left. Moreover, it was the illusion in the Illusory Formation that lured her away.
It was obvious that someone lured Han Xuenai away on purpose.
'It must be Di Yong … However, he actually gave up on absorbing Xue Nai's vital essence?'
Duan Lingtian frowned when he thought of this, but his frown eased a moment later. 'It must be because of the incident half a month ago … He must've known that it was a Dao talisman and guessed that Xue Nai's background is not simple, so he didn't dare to attack her.'
Half a month ago, Han Xuenai had killed the First Island Master of Coral Island with a Dao talisman.
This incident could be said to have shocked the entire Half Moon Island.
As the Island Master of Half Moon Island, it was impossible for Di Yong not to know.
Dao Talismans could only be inscribed by Dao Cultivators above the Saint Rudiment Stage, and not just any Dao Cultivator could inscribe them.
To be able to take out a Dao Talisman, one must have an expert behind them or a powerful force behind them.
"No matter who it is … Di Yong wouldn't dare to risk offending Xue Nai."
It was not difficult for Duan Lingtian to deduce this.
"You deliberately led me away?"
Han Xuenai was at a loss. "Brother Ling Tian, what are you talking about? Why is someone trying to distract me? "
"Xue Nai."
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and said, "Including you, me, and Wang Yu, there were 88 people who came in together … Now, only the three of us are still alive."
"What?!"
After hearing Duan Lingtian's words, even Han Xuenai, who had seen the world, couldn't help but change her expression.
Eighty-five people, gone?
How long had it been?
"Brother Ling Tian, what's going on?"
Han Xuenai asked. Her expression was solemn, which was rare for her.
"Earlier, as soon as I broke out of the Illusory Formation, Di Yong, the Island Master of Half Moon Island, appeared."
Duan Lingtian said with a solemn expression, "As soon as he appeared, black mist rose from his body. Eighty-six black rays extended from his body and connected to the other 86 people apart from me."
"Eighty-six people were trapped in the Illusory Formation and were unconscious …"
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian recounted the situation.
This included how Wang Yu woke up in time and escaped death.
"You're really lucky."
Han Xuenai glanced at Wang Yu before looking at Duan Lingtian. "Brother Ling Tian … The Island Master of Half Moon Island, Di Yong, is a Devil Cultivator."
"Do you know about Devil Cultivators?"
Han Xuenai asked.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"What's a Devil Cultivator?"
Wang Yu could not help but ask. His expression did not look too good.
It was not because of what Han Xuenai said earlier but because of his Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers.
His Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers were still alive and kicking when they entered. However, they were all gone in the blink of an eye.
"Devil Cultivators refer to those 'humans' or 'demons' who do whatever it takes to elevate their abilities … Absorbing essence is only one of the methods Devil Cultivators use. There are also many Devil Cultivators who eat babies less than a month old raw. They devour the innate Qi in the babies' bodies to cultivate. "
Han Xuenai gave a rough explanation.
However, it was this rough explanation that shocked Wang Yu so much that his expression changed drastically. "Raw … Eating babies raw?"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian's expression darkened slightly as well.
Although he had already heard about this from Wang Ba, he was still furious when he heard Han Xuenai mention it again … The actions of some Devil Cultivators were simply beasts!
No!
They were worse than beasts!
"Brother Ling Tian, what happened after that? Why would that Di Yong be so kind as to let all of you go? "
Han Xuenai asked.
"That Di Yong … was killed by Duan Lingtian."
Before Duan Lingtian could speak, Wang Yu had already answered.
"D-Killed?"
Upon hearing Wang Yu's words, Han Xuenai was stunned. When she looked at Duan Lingtian again, her eyes were shining with disbelief.
"Brother Ling Tian … You've taken the Devilseal Tablet back?"
Han Xuenai asked through Voice Transmission.
This was the only possibility she could think of.
Based on what Duan Lingtian had said earlier, she could deduce that Di Yong, the Island Master of Half Moon Island, was at least at the Mortal Shedding Stage.
However, such a person had died in Duan Lingtian's hands. If one were to use common sense to deduce this, they would not be able to figure it out.
At this moment, she recalled the Devilseal Tablet.
The Devilseal Tablet that was secretly swapped by Zhou Yi, Emperor Wu's direct disciple.
She had learned about this when she went to Lost Stone Forest with Little White.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded and replied through Voice Transmission, "I've already killed Zhou Yi and taken the Devilseal Tablet back before you arrived at the Hidden Fog Island."
Duan Lingtian was not surprised that Han Xuenai knew about the Devilseal Tablet. She was from the Dao Martial Saint Land after all, and the Devilseal Tablet was a Super Saint Weapon in the Ten Great Saint Weapon Ranking. It was famous in the entire Dao Martial Saint Land.
He was not surprised that she knew the Devilseal Tablet was in his hands. Martial Emperor Shi Qi from Lost Stone Forest had told him before that he had told Xue Nai about the Devilseal Tablet.
Although Emperor Wu did not know that it was the Devilseal Tablet, it was easy for Xue Nai to figure it out with her intelligence.
He was not surprised that he had found the Devilseal Tablet.
With his current ability, unless he used the Devilseal Tablet, it was impossible for him to kill a powerful Devil Cultivator who had entered the Mortal Shedding Stage.
"Brother Ling Tian, you must keep the Devilseal Tablet well … It's fine on Cloud Continent and the Overseas Saint Islands. However, if people know that you have the Devilseal Tablet in the Dao Martial Saint Land, countless people will do whatever it takes to get it. "
Han Xuenai continued to remind him through Voice Transmission. Her expression was grave.
"Understood."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He had already mentally prepared himself for what Xue Nai said.
When he arrived at the Dao Martial Saint Land in the future, he would not use the Devilseal Tablet unless he could guarantee that the Devilseal Tablet would not leak out.
"Brother Ling Tian … Why don't we kill Wang Yu? After all, he saw how you killed Di Yong with the Devilseal Tablet. "
Han Xuenai said through Voice Transmission.
"There's no need."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and said through Voice Transmission, "He doesn't know about the Devilseal Tablet, and he doesn't know that I killed Di Yong because I used the Devilseal Tablet … In his eyes, I might be hiding my cultivation base."
"If that's the case, I'll ask him to swear on the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation that he won't tell anyone that you killed Di Yong."
Han Xuenai said.
Before Duan Lingtian could react, she had already forced Wang Yu to swear on the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation that he would not tell anyone that he killed Di Yong.
Wang Yu was already wary of Han Xuenai who was powerful enough to kill the First Island Master of Coral Island.
Moreover, Duan Lingtian had saved his life by killing Di Yong. Naturally, he had no reason to harm Duan Lingtian.
Therefore, he cooperated and swore an oath.
He would not tell anyone that Duan Lingtian had killed Di Yong.
Duan Lingtian was in a daze when he told Han Xuenai about what happened earlier … He did not expect that the Island Master of Half Moon Island, the leader of the four great Overseas Saint Islands, would die in his hands.
One must know that the Island Master of Half Moon Island had entered the Mortal Shedding Stage and was above the peak of Emperor Wu Stage!
Moreover, his true form was a Divine Dragon.
"However, if I don't have the Devilseal Tablet … Even if there are 1,000 or 10,000 of me, I'm afraid I won't be enough to fill the gap between Di Yong's teeth."
Duan Lingtian knew this very well.
The reason he was able to kill Di Yong and suppress Di Yong's soul was all because of the Devilseal Tablet in his hands.
Naturally, it was also because Di Yong was a Devil Cultivator.
If Di Yong was not a Devil Cultivator but a normal Martial or Dao Cultivator, the Devilseal Tablet would not be able to restrain him at all. Duan Lingtian would not be able to kill him.
"However … If Di Yong was not a Devil Cultivator, none of this would've happened today."
Duan Lingtian shook his head when he thought about this.
Everything that happened today seemed to be preordained by the heavens.
Perhaps, until his soul was devoured and suppressed, Di Yong still could not figure out why he was so unlucky to have encountered the nemesis of Devil Cultivators, the Devilseal Tablet.
If he knew that Duan Lingtian had the Devilseal Tablet, he would have lured Duan Lingtian away like how he lured Han Xuenai away.
"Xue Nai, what's the highest cultivation base of a Devil Cultivator that I can suppress with the Devilseal Tablet?"
Duan Lingtian asked through Voice Transmission.
"Brother Ling Tian, you're at the Innate Stage now. You can suppress any Devil Cultivator at the Mortal Shedding Stage with the Devilseal Tablet."
Han Xuenai said.
"What if it's a Saint Rudiment Stage Devil Cultivator?"
Duan Lingtian asked again.
"With your current cultivation base, Brother Ling Tian, even if you activate the Devilseal Tablet, the most you can do is make him hesitate to attack … You won't be able to suppress him at all."
Han Xuenai said.
Duan Lingtian was disappointed when he heard Han Xuenai's words.
"When I cultivate to the peak of the Emperor Wu Stage, which is also the peak of the Innate Stage, will I be able to suppress a Saint Rudiment Stage Devil Cultivator with the Devilseal Tablet?"
Duan Lingtian asked again.
"No."
