In the Moon Illumination Sect's outer court, an ordinary battle invitation would only require one outer court elder's fingerprint or two outer court deacons' fingerprint to take effect.
Only a Death Duel invitation would require two outer court elders' fingerprints to take effect.
Since Feng Fan had asked two outer court elders to put their fingerprints on the battle invitation, one could imagine the contents of the battle invitation. It must be the Death Duel invitation!
"I've never heard of any enmity between Senior Brother Feng Fan and Senior Brother Duan Lingtian … Isn't this Death Duel invitation a little too sudden?"
"Perhaps there's some enmity between the two of them that we don't know about. Otherwise, why would Senior Brother Feng Fan issue a Death Duel invitation to someone he doesn't know who has just entered the sect? "
"That should be the case."
…
Soon, the entire outer court district was filled with rumors about Feng Fan issuing a Death Duel invitation to Duan Lingtian, causing the entire outer court to be bustling with noise and excitement.
Whether it was Feng Fan or Duan Lingtian, both of them were influential figures in the Moon Illumination Sect's outer court.
However, the former was a veteran powerhouse in the Moon Illumination Sect's outer court.
The latter, on the other hand, had just entered the Moon Illumination Sect slightly more than a month ago and had made a name for himself with two battles.
Although Duan Lingtian had displayed extraordinary strength in the two previous battles, most of the people were more inclined towards Feng Fan. They felt that Duan Lingtian could not be compared to Feng Fan.
This was not only because Feng Fan was ranked fifth in the Moon Illumination Sect's outer court, but more importantly, he was a powerhouse who had entered the Earth Ranking.
The value of the Earthly Ranking was too high.
In the Nine Sect Alliances' territory, apart from the people from the nine great sects, there were also countless sectless cultivators and some people from other forces.
Among these people, there were many powerhouses at the peak of the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage.
In this huge area, there were only 100 powerhouses at the peak of the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage who were qualified to enter the Earth Ranking … These 100 people were all existences who could fight opponents who were at a higher level.
The best among them could even defeat opponents who were at a higher level!
This level skipping was different from ordinary level skipping.
Although the peak of the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage was only a step away from the Early Saint Rudiment Stage, it was a completely different cultivation level.
The gap between them could be said to be like ascending to heaven with a single step.
Once one broke through to the Early Saint Rudiment Stage, although they did not have any special methods, they would still be able to do so.
However, the Saint Veins in the bodies of Early Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouses had expanded a lot. Their Qi Sea had also expanded to the size of a small vat, allowing them to store a vat of True Energy.
Therefore, those who could be listed on the Earth Ranking were almost all existences standing at the peak of the Immortal Shedding Stage, the true peak.
Because of this, most people believed that if Feng Fan and Duan Lingtian really fought, Feng Fan would win, not Duan Lingtian.
The Duan Lingtian had only risen to power a month ago. In terms of foundation, he was no match for Feng Fan.
"I wonder if Senior Brother Duan Lingtian will accept Senior Brother Feng Fan's challenge."
Many outer sect disciples were puzzled.
Although Duan Lingtian had shown absolute strength in the previous two battles, they were just ordinary battles after all. His life would not be in danger.
However, this time, Feng Fan, who was an Earth Ranking powerhouse, had issued a Death Duel invitation to him, intending to have a Death Duel with him. In the face of the threat of death, it was uncertain what he would choose.
"It's fine if the invited party doesn't accept the Death Duel invitation … However, in that case, he'll be taught a lesson by the party who issued the invitation."
"I don't think Senior Brother Duan Lingtian will accept Senior Brother Feng Fan's Death Duel invitation."
"I think so too."
…
In the outer court, many people thought it was impossible for Duan Lingtian to accept Feng Fan's Death Duel invitation.
Of course, this was only their guess.
More people began to look forward to seeing Duan Lingtian's expression and what choice he would make when he saw the Death Duel invitation.
Would he accept the challenge?
Or would he ignore it?
Under such circumstances, many outer court disciples even waited outside the independent courtyard Duan Lingtian was staying in, waiting for Duan Lingtian to walk out of his room.
They wanted to get an answer as soon as possible.
"That damn Feng Fan must be from Liu Huan's side!"
In the outer court, two people were squeezed inside a narrow wooden house in the wooden house area. The young man with a strong build could not help but curse.
This person was obviously Xiong Hu who came from the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City just like Duan Lingtian.
Currently, whether it was Xiong Hu or Ling Yun, both of them knew that Feng Fan, who was ranked fifth in the Moon Illumination Sect's outer court and ranked 99th on the Earth Rankings, had issued a Death Duel invitation to Duan Ling Tian.
"The Death Duel invitation was issued by an Earth Ranking powerhouse … It seems like Liu Huan's people want Senior Brother Duan's life."
Ling Yun's eyes gleamed coldly as he muttered to himself.
Whether it was Ling Yun or Xiong Hu, they were almost certain that Feng Fan was from Liu Huan's side.
If Feng Fan was not from Liu Huan's side, why would he issue a Death Duel invitation to Duan Lingtian?
They knew Duan Lingtian's origin very well. He came from the faraway Mortal Continent and did not know many people in the Dao Martial Saint Land, let alone have any enmity with anyone.
If there was someone in the Moon Illumination Sect who wanted to kill Duan Lingtian, it would be none other than Ye Man, the Devil Cultivator who entered the Moon Illumination Sect with them.
However, the person who issued a Death Duel invitation to Duan Lingtian was not Ye Man.
Moreover, during this period of time, they had been watching Ye Man intentionally or unintentionally, but they did not discover any relationship between Ye Man and Feng Fan. They could conclude that Feng Fan's Death Duel invitation to Duan Lingtian had nothing to do with Ye Man.
After many rounds of screening, there was only one possibility.
Feng Fan was from the inner court Elder Liu Huan's side.
Only someone from Liu Huan's side would want to kill all of them from the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City.
"No! We must remind Senior Brother Duan. "
Xiong Hu said through gritted teeth.
"It's not your first day knowing Senior Brother Duan. Do you think he's the kind of person who would act on impulse?"
Ling Yun said nonchalantly.
"That's true. Senior Brother Duan is much smarter than I am."
Xiong Hu chuckled. The worry in his heart had subsided.
"I believe Senior Brother Duan will handle this matter well … Whether he accepts the Death Duel invitation or rejects it, I'm sure he'll make the best choice."
Ling Yun was confident in Duan Lingtian. "All I want now is to raise my cultivation base as soon as possible … I'm afraid Liu Huan's side will shift their target to you and me soon."
"Now that you mention it, I feel a sense of danger as well … I'll go back and cultivate now."
Xiong Hu left Ling Yun's wooden house after he said that.
The two of them no longer paid attention to the uproar outside. Their minds were completely focused on cultivation.
They believed Duan Lingtian would be able to handle this matter well.
In the outer court's stone house area.
"The Earth Ranking's powerhouse Feng Fan issued a Death Duel invitation to Duan Lingtian? Duan Lingtian, oh Duan Lingtian, you really have a lot of enemies … Perhaps, you'll be killed before I even make a move. "
Ye Man muttered to himself with a ferocious smile on his face in the stone house that was much more spacious than the wooden house.
If someone was here and took a closer look, they might be able to see the unwillingness in the depth of Ye Man's eyes.
He was unwilling to accept that Duan Lingtian's ability was more powerful than his!
Due to his obsession with Duan Lingtian, he had fallen into the Devil Dao. Since then, his cultivation base had improved by leaps and bounds … Initially, he thought his ability had surpassed Duan Lingtian in all aspects.
He did not expect to encounter Duan Lingtian again in the Moon Illumination Sect. Duan Lingtian's ability was still slightly more powerful than his.
He could see this from the fact that Duan Lingtian had defeated two outer court disciples who were ranked in the top 100 in the outer court.
"Duan Lingtian, I hope you can escape this time … Your life belongs to me, Ye Man!"
Suddenly, waves of terrifying Devil Qi exuded from Ye Man's body. When he spoke, his voice became even more eerie.
"I've been in the Moon Illumination Sect's outer court for more than a month … Today, it's my turn to shine."
As Ye Man muttered to himself, he left the stone house area and made his way to the independent courtyard area.
He went straight to the outer court disciple who was ranked 90th in the outer court. Before the other outer court disciples could shift their attention to him, he had already defeated his target.
"Remember, my name is Ye Man!"
Ye Man glanced at the outer court disciple whom he had defeated nonchalantly before he walked into the independent courtyard where the outer court disciple stayed and took over his place. "This place belongs to me, Ye Man, from now on."
Although the outer court disciple who was defeated was furious, there was nothing he could do. Who asked him to be so weak?
For a time, the news of another outer court disciple who had just entered the sect entering the top 100 after Duan Lingtian spread throughout the outer court district.
"That outer court disciple seems to be called Ye Man! He's even a Devil Cultivator! "
"I can't believe the outer court disciples recruited by the sect this time are so outstanding. First, it's Duan Lingtian, and now, it's Ye Man."
"Hurmph! He's a Devil Cultivator. His cultivation speed is already faster than ordinary people. How can he be compared to Senior Brother Duan Lingtian? "
"That's right! Senior Brother Duan Lingtian is not a Devil Cultivator. He's not walking the crooked path. "
…
Many outer court disciples were against Devil Cultivators. They thought they were opportunists who did not walk the right path and only took shortcuts.
However, this did not affect Ye Man's reputation in the outer court district.
In next to no time, all the outer court elders including Dong Chong came to visit with the intention of taking Ye Man as their personal disciple … This scene caused the other outer court disciples to be astounded.
This Ye Man had actually caused such a huge commotion. Even the outer court elders were alarmed by him, and felt a sense of pity for him.
Right when they thought Ye Man was going to hug one of their thighs and be able to run wild in the outer court district … An unexpected scene appeared.
"I don't plan to stay in the outer court for long, and I don't have any plans to take a master for now."
Ye Man replied coolly when facing all the outer court elders.
Of course, there was something he kept in his heart and didn't say.
"Trash outer court elders like you are worthy of me, Ye Man, taking you as my master? In at most three years, I, Ye Man, will surely trample all of you beneath my feet! "
