Apart from the fingerprints of the two outer court elders, the Death Duel invitation also had to have the fingerprints of both parties involved in the duel.
If one party had issued the Death Duel invitation and the other party had accepted it, it would be a fight to the death!
It was fine if the other party did not accept it.
However, the party who issued the Death Duel invitation had a legitimate reason to teach the other party a lesson.
As long as the other party was not killed or crippled, they could do whatever they wanted.
That was the Death Duel invitation.
As long as the invitation was issued, the other party would have to accept it as long as they had seen the invitation when they had stepped out of their room.
If they rejected it, the person who issued the invitation would have a legitimate reason to enter their room and duel with them even if they were cultivating in closed-door cultivation.
The Death Duel invitation was a special feature of the Moon Illumination Sect.
The entrance assessment of the Moon Illumination Sect had finally ended when it was close to evening.
Apart from the twelve young geniuses on the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage who had passed the entrance assessment, three young geniuses on the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage had passed the assessment as well.
Three of the hundreds of young geniuses on the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage were eliminated.
The rest entered the outer court of the Moon Illumination Sect together.
When the outer court elder, Dong Chong, and the two outer court deacons brought hundreds of young geniuses at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage into the outer court district, they learned about the news that was spreading in the outer court district.
Duan Lingtian, an outer court disciple on the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage who had just entered the outer court, had single-handedly defeated Ceng Zhi who was ranked 85th in the outer court and snatched his independent courtyard.
"How's that possible?!"
"He's only on the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage. How could he defeat someone who's close to the peak of the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage? Impossible!"
"Even if that's true, Ceng Zhi must've discussed it with him. They must've known each other for a long time and put on a show. "
…
The group of young geniuses on the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage who had just entered the Moon Illumination Sect clamored. Most of them did not believe that Duan Lingtian had really defeated Ceng Zhi.
In the crowd, Ling Yun and Xiong Hu looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"Senior Brother Duan … actually defeated someone who's ranked 85th in the outer court?"
Xiong Hu took in a breath of cold air.
At this moment, it was not just the group of Moon Illumination Sect's new disciples. Even the outer court elder, Dong Chong, and the other two outer court deacons were shocked as well.
At this moment, they even suspected that Ceng Zhi was acquainted with Duan Lingtian.
Even in their eyes, this matter was inconceivable!
"If Zhou Qi finds out about this, I'm afraid he'll think that he's as blind as a bat. He only brought Su Qi away and didn't bring Senior Brother Duan with him."
Ling Yun's eyes flashed as he thought to himself.
Zhou Qi, the direct disciple of the Moon Illumination Sect's Inner Court Elder Liu Huan, had arrived at the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City half a year ago. He had killed two great Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouses from the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City and severely injured the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
Then, in front of the City Governor of Mound Hill City, he took away his disciple, Su Qi, who had been following him since the beginning.
Lingyun still remembered.
At that time, in the eyes of that Zhou Qi, whether it was him, Xiong Hu, Jin Yuan Bao, or even Duan Lingtian, they were all not worth mentioning.
In Zhou Qi's eyes, only Su Qi was the most important.
'Senior Brother Duan's innate talent is even more powerful than Su Qi … I'm really curious to see the expression on Liu Huan and his disciple's faces when they find out about this.'
Ling Yun thought to himself.
What Ling Yun thought of came true that very night.
Due to the enmity between the Moon Illumination Sect's Inner Court Elder Liu Huan and the City Governor of Mound Hill City, Fang Hui's every move throughout the years was monitored by Liu Huan's people.
Today, when the Moon Illumination Sect held the entrance assessment to recruit new disciples, Liu Huan's people were also paying attention to it.
Due to this reason, Liu Huan's favorite disciple, Zhou Qi, received the news that night.
"You may leave now."
In the front courtyard of a spacious mansion in the inner court of the Moon Illumination Sect, Zhou Qi said in a slightly irritated manner.
"Yes."
The person who came to inform him immediately left the mansion.
"I can't believe that Fang Hui's luck is so good … First, it's Su Qi, and now it's Duan Lingtian."
Zhou Qi's face turned slightly grave.
Even he had to admit that Fang Hui's luck was ridiculously good.
Su Qi came from the Mortal Continent, and he was a talent that could be molded. His innate talent far surpassed his own … Even he had to admit this.
Due to this reason, Su Qi received special care from his master, Elder Liu Huan, after he brought him back. His ability had improved by leaps and bounds in the past six months.
Now, he had even reached the peak of the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage.
In terms of ability, he could be ranked at the top even in the outer court.
In the past six months, even he was a little jealous of his master, Elder Liu Huan, for taking care of Su Qi.
However, compared to Duan Lingtian, Su Qi's improvement in the past six months and his innate talent seemed to be nothing.
The reason Zhou Qi's attitude changed was all because of Duan Lingtian.
"He defeated Ceng Zhi who was ranked 85th in the outer court with his cultivation base at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage. It was a one-sided fight … I've confirmed that Ceng Zhi didn't know him before this."
Zhou Qi muttered to himself.
"He defeated someone who was close to the peak of the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage with his cultivation base at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage … No matter how monstrous he is, he shouldn't be able to do that, right? This isn't an ordinary fight that's two levels higher. "
"Of course, there's another possibility … Duan Lingtian has broken through to the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage after the outer court deacon detected his cultivation base."
"Although it's still ridiculous for him to defeat Ceng Zhi with his cultivation base at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage, it's not impossible."
Zhou Qi defined Duan Lingtian's cultivation base in his heart. He thought Duan Lingtian was already at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage.
He thought so because he thought it was impossible for Duan Lingtian to defeat someone who was close to the peak of the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage with his cultivation base at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage.
Naturally, someone who was ranked 85th in the outer court would not be an ordinary person.
If he was an ordinary person, he would have been kicked out of the independent courtyard long ago.
"I'll have to tell Master about this matter … However, before that, I should still look for Junior Brother Su. I've never heard him mention anything about Duan Lingtian before this. "
Zhou Qi went to look for Su Qi as he thought of this.
Half a year ago, after Su Qi was brought back to the Moon Illumination Sect by Zhou Qi, he became an inner court disciple under the recommendation of the inner court elder, Liu Huan.
Only the sect's high-ranking officials who were at least inner court elders had the right to make such a recommendation.
Even the inner court deacons who were equivalent to the outer court elders in the Moon Illumination Sect were not allowed to make a recommendation to become an outer court disciple, let alone an inner court disciple.
The young geniuses who were found by the outer court elders had to participate in the entrance assessment obediently.
Although the outer court elders, inner court deacons, and inner court elders were only one level apart, the gap was like a chasm!
In the Moon Illumination Sect, only the sect's high-ranking officials who were at least inner court elders and above were considered to be at the highest decision-making level.
Although the inner court elders had a lofty position, they also needed to have a powerful martial strength to support them. To become an inner court elder, one must be a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse.
Only a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse could stand at the highest level in the Moon Illumination Sect and laugh at the wind and clouds.
After becoming an inner court disciple of the Moon Illumination Sect, Su Qi stayed in Liu Huan's mansion. He had his own independent courtyard here.
During this half a year, he had been living in seclusion. Due to Liu Huan's guidance and special care, his cultivation base had improved by leaps and bounds.
"Junior Brother."
Su Qi who was deducing the Saint Grade Martial Tactic in the small courtyard suddenly heard the voice from outside. He stopped what he was doing and had a puzzled expression on his face.
Naturally, he could tell who the owner of the voice was.
However, he was puzzled. Why was the person looking for him?
During this half a year, the person had not taken the initiative to look for him since he brought him back.
Moreover, as time went by, the person seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally distancing himself from him. As for the reason, it was not difficult for him to figure it out. The person was undoubtedly jealous because his master doted on him more.
"Senior Brother."
Su Qi did not dare to be arrogant in front of Zhou Qi. When he heard the voice, he immediately opened the courtyard door and welcomed Zhou Qi in.
"Junior Brother, have you gotten used to living here during this half a year?"
Zhou Qi asked with a smile.
However, his smile seemed fake no matter how one looked at it.
"Yes."
Su Qi did not nod. He merely nodded in response.
"Junior Brother, you should know that there's a disciple under the City Governor of Mound Hill City called Duan Lingtian, right?"
Zhou Qi's eyes gleamed as he looked directly at Su Qi. He went straight to the point.
Duan Lingtian!
When Su Qi heard this name again, he could not help but feel a ripple in his heart.
Previously, even his master, Fang Hui, the City Governor of Mound Hill City, thought he was inferior to Duan Lingtian. He even advised Duan Lingtian not to compete with him for the position of Eldest Senior Brother.
Due to this reason, he had challenged Duan Lingtian to a battle.
Before the result was out, Zhou Qi had arrived and interrupted him.
Although the battle was inconclusive, he had to admit that as someone from the Mortal Continent, Duan Lingtian's innate talent and strength were indeed superior to his.
Naturally, he was no longer the same person he was half a year ago.
His strength had improved by leaps and bounds in this half a year!
If he encountered Duan Lingtian again, he was confident he could win.
"Yes."
Su Qi nodded in response to Zhou Qi's question.
He had secretly calculated the time earlier. Today seemed to be the day of the entrance assessment that was held once every five years in the Moon Illumination Sect. Duan Lingtian must have come on behalf of Mound Hill City.
"It seems like Duan Lingtian did well in the entrance assessment … Otherwise, Zhou Qi wouldn't have been alerted."
It was not difficult for Su Qi to figure this out.
"As soon as he entered the sect, he defeated Ceng Zhi who's ranked No. 85 in the outer court. He's an outer court disciple who's close to the peak of the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage."
Zhou Qi said.
"What?!"
