"Are you sure he's from the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City and Fang Hui's disciple?"
Liu Huan asked in his deep voice as his eyes gleamed fiercely.
He refused to believe it.
Fang Hui had taken Su Qi who was such an outstanding genius Martial Cultivator as his disciple. Then, he took another genius Martial Cultivator who was even more outstanding than Su Qi as his disciple?
What kind of luck was that?
Why did he, Liu Huan, not have such luck?
He had only entered the outer court two months ago. This meant that the outer court disciple called Duan Lingtian was not even 40 years old.
The fact that he could kill Feng Fan was enough to prove that his innate talent far surpassed Su Qi, the direct disciple whom Liu Huan was proud of.
If he had known about Duan Lingtian before this, the first thought that would arise in his mind would be to take him as his disciple just like how he treated Su Qi.
However, it was impossible now.
This was because he had killed Feng Fan, Elder Zhao's direct disciple!
Elder Zhao was ranked in the top three among the inner court elders in the Moon Illumination Sect. He was someone that even Liu Huan had to curry favor with.
He would not dare to take someone who killed Elder Zhao's direct disciple as his disciple even if he was a hundred times more courageous.
"Master, I saw him when I went to pick up Junior Brother Su Qi half a year ago … However, I didn't know his innate talent is higher than Junior Brother Su Qi. Otherwise, I would've brought him back with me. "
Zhou Qi had been following Liu Huan for many years. Naturally, he knew what Liu Huan thought, so he chose to say what Liu Huan liked to hear.
If he had known Duan Lingtian was so monstrous, he would not have spared his life when he arrived at the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City half a year ago.
Every time he thought about this, he regretted it. Unfortunately, there was no cure for regret in this world.
As expected, Liu Huan's expression softened when he heard Zhou Qi's words. However, the fierceness in his eyes did not diminish. Instead, it intensified. "I really didn't expect Fang Hui to be so lucky to have taken in two disciples with monstrous innate talent consecutively … What did he do to deserve this?!"
When Liu Huan reached the end of his sentence, his eyes were filled with killing intent. "Initially, I thought he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble even if I spared his life … Now, it seems like I was wrong! If that Duan Lingtian grows up, he will definitely become a huge threat to me! "
"Master, do you need me to head to the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City and kill Fang Hui?"
Zhou Qi asked.
"No need."
Liu Huan shook his head. "It's better to leave Fang Hui to Elder Zhao. Otherwise, when Elder Zhao comes out of his closed-door cultivation and finds out that his disciple has been killed, where will he vent his anger?"
"As for that Duan Lingtian … before Elder Zhao comes out of seclusion, we must get rid of him! In that case, Elder Zhao will owe me a favor. "
Liu Huan's eyes gleamed when he reached the end of his sentence.
Of course, there was one thing he didn't say.
The reason why he wanted to kill Duan Lingtian before Elder Zhao came out of seclusion was that he was worried that after Elder Zhao came out of seclusion, Elder Zhao would take Duan Lingtian as his new personal disciple regardless of Feng Fan's revenge.
That was something he did not want to see!
Duan Lingtian came from the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City. If he became Elder Zhao's disciple, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for him and his disciples.
"Don't worry, Master. I'll definitely do my best to kill that Duan Lingtian before Elder Zhao comes out of seclusion," Zhou Qi said.
"Master.
It's not about doing your best, but you must! Before Elder Zhao comes out of his seclusion, that Duan Lingtian must die! Even if you have to exchange your life for Duan Lingtian's, you must kill him. After you die, Master will remember you, "Liu Huan said as he looked at Zhou Qi.
When he reached the end of his sentence, there was a hint of kindness on his face.
When Zhou Qi saw the kindness on Liu Huan's face, there was only coldness in his heart.
In order to kill Duan Lingtian and eliminate the root of the problem, Liu Huan did not hesitate to sacrifice his life!
At this moment, in Zhou Qi's heart, the little bit of master-disciple relationship between him and Liu Huan had completely vanished into thin air.
Previously, he could not wait to kill Duan Lingtian. Now, he could not wait for Duan Lingtian to survive and even help Fang Hui to kill Liu Huan.
At this moment, he made a decision in his heart.
It was an important decision that would affect his future.
"Master, I won't let you down."
Although Zhou Qi felt disgusted when he saw the kindness on Liu Huan's face, he still agreed to it respectfully on the surface.
"Very good, very good."
Liu Huan smiled when he saw how obedient Zhou Qi was. "Zhou Qi, you're the first to follow me, and I've always thought highly of you … Don't worry, even if you kill that Duan Lingtian and are sentenced to death by the sect, I won't forget you."
"I'll erect a memorial tablet for you and enshrine it in the backyard so that you can always be by my side."
Liu Huan said with an amiable expression.
"Thank you, Master."
Zhou Qi's heart was as cold as ice, but he did not show it on his face. He had to deal with this first.
"I want to hear the news of his death within three days … You won't disappoint me, right?"
Liu Huan looked at Zhou Qi and gave him a deadline.
Three days!
Upon hearing Liu Huan's words, Zhou Qi's heart trembled. However, he could only nod silently.
"Very good. Prepare to leave. "
Liu Huan sent him off.
"I'll take my leave!"
Zhou Qi retreated. When he turned around, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes. He thought to himself, 'Liu Huan, you're the one who forced me to do this … Since you don't value my life, there's no need for me to guard you anymore. From today onward, I, Zhou Qi, will sever our master-disciple relationship! '
As soon as Zhou Qi turned around, the kindness on Liu Huan's face vanished. He glanced at Zhou Qi's back coldly before withdrawing his gaze.
Subsequently, he went to look for Su Qi.
When he saw Su Qi, an amiable expression naturally appeared on his face.
"Master, why are you looking for me so late at night?"
Su Qi was puzzled.
"Su Qi, before you left the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City, did you know that Fang Hui, the City Governor of Mound Hill City, has a disciple by the name of Duan Lingtian?"
Liu Huan asked bluntly.
"Yes."
Su Qi nodded. "However, that Duan Lingtian is very arrogant! He's only willing to acknowledge Fang Hui as his master. However, he's a Martial Cultivator from the Mortal Continent like me after all. His innate talent is not inferior to mine. "
"He's from the Mortal Continent as well?"
Liu Huan's eyes narrowed as he asked, "Both of you are from the same Mortal Continent?"
"No." Su Qi shook his head.
"We're from different Mortal Continents."
"Looks like the rumors are true … Every single one of the genius martial cultivators who can walk out of the Mortal Continent is a monstrous talent blessed by the heavens! People from the Mortal Continent are either heaven-defying or trash. They're two extremes. "
Liu Huan muttered.
"Master, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about him? "
Su Qi asked, puzzled.
"He killed Feng Fan."
Liu Huan did not hide anything from Su Qi and told him the news he had just heard from Zhou Qi.
"What?!"
Su Qi's expression changed drastically when he heard about this brat. "How's that possible?! Feng Fan is an Earth Ranking powerhouse. How's it possible for that Duan Lingtian to kill him? "
When Liu Huan saw the change in Su Qi's expression, he realized Su Qi must not have known that Duan Lingtian was so gifted.
"It's true. Right now, it's not just the outer court district. I'm afraid the news has spread in the inner court district as well. "
Liu Huan said.
A complicated expression appeared on Su Qi's face when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. He suddenly realized the distance between him and Duan Ling Tian seemed to be increasing.
In the outer court district, in a remote mansion, outside a pavilion at the side of the front yard.
"Elder, Feng Fan is dead."
A sturdy man with a shocked expression on his face said in disbelief as he strode over with a majestic gait.
"What an interesting brat."
In the face of the sturdy man's report, the old man who was sitting quietly in the pavilion and tasting his tea merely smiled faintly. It was as though he was not surprised by this outcome.
"Elder, aren't you … surprised?"
The sturdy man could not help but ask.
"There's nothing to be surprised about. That brat doesn't look like someone who would willingly seek death. "
The old man was dressed in white. He had white hair and a youthful complexion. He looked like an immortal. As he sat there, it was as though he had become one with the pavilion and the entire Heaven and Earth.
"Elder, Feng Fan is Elder Zhao's favorite … If Elder Zhao comes out of his closed-door cultivation and finds out that Feng Fan has been killed, I'm afraid he won't let this matter go."
The sturdy man said again.
"That's a problem."
The white-clothed old man nodded. After a moment of silence, he smiled indifferently. "I don't know why, but I'm actually very confident in him … I'm also a little curious as to how he'll get past Zhao Feng."
Zhao Feng was Feng Fan's master. He was also a powerful inner court elder.
There were almost twenty inner court elders in the Moon Illumination Sect's inner court.
However, Zhao Feng's strength was ranked in the top three among the twenty inner court elders. One could just imagine how powerful he was.
"Elder, aren't you afraid that he'll die?"
The sturdy man asked.
"I've already said that I'm confident in him … Alright, you may leave now."
The white-clad old man said.
"Yes."
Although the sturdy man did not know why the old man was so confident in the outer court disciple whom he had only met once, he still left. He could not and did not dare to disobey the old man's words.
After the sturdy man left, a Saint Stone appeared in the old man's hand. This Saint Stone seemed to be of a higher grade than a sixth-grade Saint Stone.
"How can someone who can casually take out a fourth-grade Saint Stone be an ordinary person … I wonder where that brat came from to actually be able to take out a fourth-grade Saint Stone. However, this fourth-grade Saint Stone is indeed more helpful to me than a sixth-grade Saint Stone. At the very least, I don't need to interrupt my closed-door cultivation to exchange for Saint Stones and affect my cultivation. "
The old man played with the fourth-grade Saint Stone in his hand as he muttered to himself.
Boom!
Late at night, along with a loud bang, Duan Lingtian felt a sharp pain all over his body. He was forced out of the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
"Who's there?!"
