"As a tool for Liu Huan's revenge, Zhou Qi didn't even collect your corpse when you're dead. How sad."
After keeping Feng Fan's Spatial Ring, Duan Lingtian glanced at Feng Fan nonchalantly. Then, he walked out of the crowd under everyone's complicated gazes. It was obvious that he was going to leave.
The crowd also made way for him.
Although most of the outer court disciples present on the scene had placed their bets on Duan Ling Tian and had lost a lot of Merit Points, none of them blamed Duan Ling Tian at all.
In their opinion, the reason they lost was all because Feng Fan was useless.
The reason they had bet so much on Feng Fan was because he was an Earth Ranking powerhouse. They thought he would definitely be able to defeat Duan Lingtian, an outer court disciple who had just entered the sect for less than two months.
However, when the result came out, it was beyond their expectations.
Duan Lingtian, an outer court disciple who had just entered the sect for less than two months, had killed Feng Fan, an Earth Ranking powerhouse who had been famous in the Moon Illumination Sect's outer court for a long time.
"Duan Ling Tian, if you know what's good for you, find a time to come to my mansion and return all the Merit Points I bet on Feng Fan. Otherwise … Hmph! "
When Duan Lingtian was walking out, a True Energy Voice Transmission entered his ears all of a sudden.
Duan Ling Tian was not unfamiliar with this voice that was filled with threat.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Ling Tian came to a halt as well. His gaze landed on the group of outer court elders and the outer court elder, Huang Cheng, who had placed a huge bet on him yesterday.
"How dare you look at me in the eyes of so many people? Now, if you don't hand over the one million Merit Points, I won't let this matter rest!"
Huang Cheng was enraged when he saw how Duan Lingtian dared to look at him in the eyes of so many people and disregard his dignity. He immediately demanded an exorbitant price.
He demanded one million Merit Points from Duan Lingtian as soon as he opened his mouth.
It was obvious that they were treating Duan Lingtian as a fat sheep to be slaughtered.
However, after hearing Huang Cheng's words, Duan Lingtian smiled brightly in front of the crowd.
"Elder Huang Cheng! Yesterday, you were the one who came looking for me and said that you wanted to bet 360,000 Merit Points … Now that I've won your bet, you're threatening me to return the 360,000 Merit Points to you … What kind of logic is this? Could it be that you, a dignified Outer Sect Elder, can use your power to bully others? Is there no law in the sect? "
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes and told everyone about Huang Cheng's threat in front of everyone.
These words were spoken so quickly that Huang Cheng could not react in time.
By the time he reacted, he realized that everyone was looking at him in a completely different light.
"Elder Huang Cheng, is what Duan Lingtian said true?"
An outer sect elder standing beside Huang Cheng asked calmly, "If that's true, you've gone too far."
"That's right. You're an outer sect elder. You're the face of the outer sect … If you can't accept your loss, you'll be embarrassing the outer sect. "
Another outer sect elder chimed in.
"If I were you, I'd admit defeat no matter how unwilling I am … Elder Huang Cheng, if you really threatened Duan Lingtian, then you really need to improve your gambling skills."
One by one, the outer sect elders chimed in.
Upon hearing the group of outer court elders' words, Huang Cheng cursed inwardly, 'It's easy for you to say that.' Subsequently, he glared fiercely at Duan Ling Tian and shouted angrily, "Duan Ling Tian, how dare you slander me! 360,000 Merit Points might be a lot, but it's not enough for me to take it seriously. "
Naturally, he would not admit to it in front of so many people.
Otherwise, he would have reached the end of his career as an outer sect elder.
"Slander?"
Duan Lingtian smiled coldly. "Elder Huang Cheng, we've never met before yesterday. Why would I slander you? Don't tell me it's because you bet 360,000 Merit Points?
"I think the loss of 360,000 merit points that you've bet is not as great as the loss of Deacon Deng Wei to you, an Outer Sanctum Elder, right? Deacon Deng Wei is only an outer sect deacon. He didn't even threaten me when he bet 150,000 Merit Points, which is almost all of his assets.
In comparison, you're not as magnanimous as Deacon Deng Wei. "
When Duan Lingtian reached the end of his sentence, he shook his head.
When Deng Wei heard Duan Lingtian's' compliment ', not only was he not happy, but he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
One hundred and fifty thousand merit points was indeed all he had.
Currently, there were only a few thousand Merit Points left in his Crystal Card.
However, it was impossible for him to not be calculative.
The reason he did not threaten Duan Lingtian was because he knew threats were useless against Duan Lingtian. He could only think of a way to kill Duan Lingtian and snatch the Crystal Card from Duan Lingtian's hands.
At that time, not only would he be able to get his 150,000 Merit Points back, but he would also be able to obtain an additional three million Merit Points.
"You …"
Huang Cheng's face was grave. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Duan Ling Tian. "Elder Huang Cheng, although you're an outer court elder, I won't succumb to your abuse of power! Unless I'm dead, I won't give you one million Merit Points! "
One million Merit Points!
The moment Duan Lingtian finished speaking, the gazes that were looking at Huang Cheng changed again.
As long as one was not an idiot, one could guess that Huang Cheng must have threatened Duan Lingtian again to get Duan Lingtian to give him one million Merit Points.
"Bah! Outer sect elder? What an embarrassment to the outer sect! "
"That's right! I'm just an ordinary outer sect disciple, and I'm willing to admit defeat. How dare he use his status as an outer sect elder to bully Senior Brother Duan Lingtian and get Duan Lingtian to spit out his Merit Points? That's not all. He even wants Senior Brother Duan Lingtian to hand over one million Merit Points! "
"Isn't he trying to get something for nothing? How can there be such a good deal in this world! "
…
A group of outer sect disciples who had also placed their bets cursed loudly. They did not care if Huang Cheng was an outer sect elder anymore. They vented all their pent-up anger.
Huang Cheng was dumbfounded.
The situation at the scene was completely out of his control.
"Duan Lingtian, do you know that slandering the higher-ups of the sect is punishable by death in the sect?"
Finally, Huang Cheng's face darkened as he shouted sternly.
His voice was infused with True Qi and suppressed the noise at the scene.
"Slandering?"
Duan Lingtian sneered. "Elder Huang Cheng, you keep saying that I'm slandering you … Do you dare to swear on the Tribulation Oath that you didn't threaten me?"
"Humph! I didn't threaten you, so I didn't threaten you. Who do you think you are to make me swear on your behalf? "
Huang Cheng snorted coldly and said disdainfully.
"That's right. You're a high and mighty outer sect elder who disdains to swear on my behalf … Since that's the case, I'll swear on the Tribulation Oath that if there's any falsehood in my words, I'm willing to be struck to death by the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!"
Duan Lingtian naturally had a way to deal with Huang Cheng's shameless behavior. When Huang Cheng's expression changed drastically, he pricked his finger and a drop of blood rose into the air before it merged with the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
Nine claps of thunder reverberated in the air and entered the ears of everyone present on the scene.
It was the Tribulation Oath, the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, that bore witness to Duan Lingtian's oath. However, after it bore witness, it did not strike down the Tribulation Oath to kill Duan Lingtian.
At this moment, it was clear who was more trustworthy between Duan Lingtian and Huang Cheng.
Waves of jeers rose and fell one after another.
The gazes of the crowd when they looked at Huang Cheng were even stranger than before.
Previously, they were not 100% certain Huang Cheng had threatened Duan Ling Tian. However, after Duan Ling Tian made the oath, they no longer had any doubts and were completely certain of it.
The Tribulation of Oaths would not lie.
That was the might of the heavens.
As the saying went, 'The heavens are watching what people do'. The heavens would not side with anyone.
At this moment, even the group of outer court elders, including Dong Chong, intentionally kept a distance from Huang Cheng. It was as though they were trying to tell everyone that although they were outer court elders as well, they did not want to be on the same side as Huang Cheng.
Huang Cheng was so angry that his face turned red. However, he was at a loss for words.
From the moment Duan Lingtian publicly swore on his oath, he knew that no one would believe him. It would be useless no matter what he said.
"Duan Lingtian, don't let me find a chance. Otherwise, I'll definitely kill you!"
Huang Cheng glared fiercely at Duan Lingtian and sent a True Energy Voice Transmission to him in exasperation. After that, he flew away and disappeared before the eyes of the crowd.
Duan Lingtian remained calm when he heard Huang Cheng's threat. He did not seem to care at all.
Even if the incident did not happen, with Huang Cheng's petty character, as long as he did not return the 360,000 Merit Points, he would not let him go.
If that was the case, what did he have to worry about?
Seeing that Huang Cheng did not bother to explain himself and fled at the last minute, the crowd booed again.
"Shameless! He's too shameless! "
"Why didn't I know that Elder Huang Cheng was so shameless?"
"In my opinion, such a person is not qualified to be an outer court elder at all! He's a disgrace to our outer court! "
…
The group of outer court disciples seemed to empathize with Duan Lingtian's experience and began to curse him.
"Thank you for your support."
Duan Lingtian spoke loudly. His voice was filled with True Energy and suppressed the noise at the scene. "I thought about it seriously just now. I feel that it's not easy for all of you. How about this, except for Elder Huang Cheng and Deacon Deng, I'll return half of the Merit Points that everyone has bet! "
"At noon tomorrow at the Martial Arts Practice Field, all of you will bring your written receipts to me and collect your Merit Points."
Duan Lingtian's voice was heard.
"Really?"
"Long live Senior Brother Duan Lingtian!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother Duan Lingtian!"
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian is really a good person. He's actually willing to return half of the Merit Points that we lost."
…
When the group of outer court disciples heard Duan Lingtian's words, they were all excited and grateful.
When the group of deacons heard this, their eyes lit up.
"Duan Lingtian, why are you excluding me?"
