"Duan Lingtian has been taken in as a disciple by Elder Bai Li on behalf of his master, and he's now Elder Bai Li's junior brother?"
Outside the courtyard where Liu Huan lived, Su Qi who had planned to look for Liu Huan stopped in his tracks when he heard Liu Huan's roar.
A complicated expression flashed across his eyes.
However, a faintly discernible smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
He did not look for Liu Huan anymore. Instead, he turned around and left.
He knew Liu Huan's temper very well. He would be asking for trouble if he looked for Liu Huan at this time.
In the next few days, the news that spread in the inner court had also spread to the outer court, shocking everyone in the outer court.
Not many people would be surprised if some outstanding outer court disciple was secretly taken in as a direct disciple by an inner court elder.
This was not a rare occurrence in the history of the Moon Illumination Sect.
However, this was the first time in the history of the Moon Illumination Sect that an outer court disciple was taken in as a junior brother by an inner court elder.
Most importantly, the inner court elder who took in the outer court disciple as his junior brother was not an ordinary inner court elder.
"Elder Bai Li has taken in Senior Brother Duan Lingtian as his disciple on behalf of his master, and he's taking Senior Brother Duan Lingtian as his junior brother? Is this for real? "
"The news came from the inner court, and it was confirmed by the people in Elder Bai Li's mansion … This news can't be fake."
"Isn't Senior Brother Duan Lingtian a little too amazing? For other outer sect disciples to be able to become inner sect elders' disciples is already envied by others … Yet, he directly became an inner sect elder's junior brother. That's an existence on par with inner sect elders. "
"Most importantly, that inner court elder is Elder Bai Li … Who doesn't know that Elder Bai Li is the only Three Star Saint Inscription Master in our Moon Illumination Sect?"
"Among the nine great sects in the Nine Sect Alliances, only our Moon Illumination Sect and another sect have a Three Star Saint Inscription Master each. The other seven sects don't have one. They'll have to come to our Moon Illumination Sect if they want a Three Star Saint Inscription Master."
"Even the Sect Leader doesn't dare to neglect Elder Bai Li. After all, if Elder Bai Li is unhappy and leaves our Moon Illumination Sect, it'll definitely be a great loss to our sect. "
…
As the news spread, the entire outer sect area was shaken.
All the Outer Sect Elders, Deacons, and Outer Sect Disciples who were not in closed-door training knew about the news immediately.
In a remote mansion located at a corner of the outer court district, the outer court's Grand Elder, Dongfang Quan, almost spat out the mouthful of tea he had just sipped when he heard the news. "Duan Lingtian has been acknowledged by Elder Baili as his Junior Brother?"
After Dongfang Quan swallowed the tea in his mouth, he sucked in a breath of cold air, and his face was filled with shock.
As the Grand Elder of the outer court, Dongfang Quan's position in the Moon Illumination Sect was in no way inferior to the inner court elders. In fact, his position even surpassed ordinary inner court elders.
However, before Elder Baili Hong, even though he did not have to be extremely respectful, he still had to maintain a courteous attitude. He did not dare to be negligent or overstep his boundaries.
All of this was not only because Elder Bai Li was powerful, but it was more because he was a Three Star Saint Inscription Master!
In the Moon Illumination Sect, apart from the few Saint Stage powerhouses including the Sect Leader, the person he feared the most was Elder Bai Li.
However, now that he found out Elder Bai Li had acknowledged Duan Lingtian as his Junior Brother?
"Elder Bai Li is definitely not an impulsive person. Why would he acknowledge Duan Lingtian as his Junior Brother?"
Dongfang Quan could not figure it out even after thinking about it for a long time.
In the end, he could only make wild guesses.
"Maybe it's because Duan Lingtian has revealed his true identity in front of him, so he acknowledged Duan Lingtian as his Junior Brother just to cover it up and protect Duan Lingtian?"
Other than that, he really could not think of any other reason.
He did not believe that Duan Lingtian had known Baili Hong for a long time.
If Duan Lingtian had such a relationship with Baili Hong, why would he need to spend fourth-grade and fifth-grade Saint Stones to hire him as a witness when he had a Death Duel with Feng Fan?
Due to this reason, he was certain Duan Lingtian and Baili Hong had only gotten in touch recently.
While Dongfang Quan was shocked by the news of Baili Hong acknowledging Duan Lingtian as his Junior Brother, Huang Cheng, who was in an independent mansion in the outer court, had also received the news.
Smack!
The moment Huang Cheng heard the news, his expression was extremely grave. He slapped his palm out, and the sound of wind and thunder reverberated in the air. The stone table in front of him was instantly crushed into dust.
"Is this news true?"
Huang Cheng asked in a deep voice as he looked at the outer court disciple who told him the news.
"It's true. I heard that even the people in Elder Bai Li's mansion admitted it. "
The outer court disciple nodded.
"Alright, you can leave now."
Huang Cheng took a deep breath and waved his hand impatiently.
After the outer court disciple who told him the news left, Huang Cheng's expression darkened as he growled in a low voice, "Don't tell me that the matter between me and Duan Lingtian is going to end just like that? My 300,000 Merit Points are going to be wasted just like that? "
He was unwilling to accept this!
Finally, Huang Cheng took a deep breath and said with a gloomy expression, "Duan Lingtian, you have Elder Bai Li as your backer now. It's true that I can't do anything to you in the sect. However, if you dare to leave the sect, I'll make sure you regret it for the rest of your life!"
It was obvious that Huang Cheng did not choose to compromise in the end.
At the same time, the outer court deacon, Deng Wei, had also received the news. His expression was extremely grave. "What did Duan Lingtian do to deserve Elder Bai Li's favor and even become Elder Bai Li's Junior Brother?"
He suddenly felt that his chance of revenge seemed to have become extremely slim.
"Forget it, forget it … The enmity between us was because of Yu'er in the beginning. Now that he has such a backer, there's no need for me to continue to be his enemy! Otherwise, if Elder Bai Li finds out about this, I'll definitely die! "
Unlike Huang Cheng, Deng Wei chose to compromise.
"I must let Yu'er know about this … I must let him forget about the enmity between him and Duan Lingtian."
Deng Wei did what he wanted to do. He immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to his clan, the Deng Clan.
He did not want Deng Yu to not forget about the enmity between him and Duan Lingtian and bring disaster to the Deng Clan.
"Elder Bai Li? The only Three Star Saint Inscription Master in the Moon Illumination Sect? "
In an independent courtyard in the outer court area, Ye Man's eyes were scarlet red, and his expression was extremely gloomy. "Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian … Could it be that you were really born to restrain me, Ye Man? I'm unwilling to accept this! I'm unwilling to accept this! "
Ye Man was almost roaring when he reached the end of his sentence.
At this moment, he had a feeling that since he was born, why was there a need for him to be born?
In another independent courtyard, He Zhong had also received the news. He let out a long sigh. "I only hope uncle can stop now … Although it's impossible. Elder Bai Li is someone that even my master, the Vice Sect Leader of the Moon Illumination Sect, is afraid of. "
Although his master was the Vice Sect Leader of the Moon Illumination Sect, he was also an Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse.
However, in terms of strength, he was on par with Elder Bai Li at most.
This was because Elder Bai Li had an Earth Rank Prominent Saint Weapon that was inscribed with three Three Star Saint Inscriptions. With that Saint Weapon, Elder Bai Li could fight an Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse even though he was only at the peak of the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage.
In the end, He Zhong gritted his teeth and left the outer court district to enter the inner court district.
No matter what, Liu Huan was still his uncle. He still planned to persuade him personally.
"I understand."
In the face of He Zhong's kind words, Liu Huan nodded perfunctorily.
Although He Zhong could tell Liu Huan was trying to brush him off, he knew this was the best he could do. "Uncle, now that Duan Lingtian has become Elder Bai Li's junior brother, I'm afraid even my master wouldn't want to make him his enemy."
"I know."
Liu Huan nodded his head nonchalantly. "If there's nothing else, you may leave."
He Zhong sighed when he heard Liu Huan's intention to send him off. He could only turn around and leave.
No matter what, he had done his best. It was enough for him to answer to his mother who had passed away many years ago.
After He Zhong left, Liu Huan smirked coldly. "You want me to stop? Impossible! I've already sworn that anyone who comes out of Mound Hill City will either die or become my disciple … There's no exception. Not even Duan Lingtian! "
Five days later, an uninvited guest arrived at Liu Huan's mansion.
"Elder Bai Li."
Liu Huan's expression was a little unnatural when he saw the person, but he still bowed politely.
Although the person in front of him was also an inner court elder, his position in the Moon Illumination Sect was not something he could compare to.
"Elder Liu Huan."
The person who had just arrived was none other than Bai Li Hong, Duan Ling Tian's senior brother. "I've never been one to beat around the bush. I'm here to remind you that Duan Ling Tian is my junior brother. If anyone dares to harm him, it'll be equivalent to slapping my face!"
Bai Li Hong's tone was calm, but it was overbearing.
"The relationship between Elder Bai Li and your junior brother is so deep that it's enviable."
Liu Huan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He forced a smile on his face.
"That's all I have to say. You're on your own now!"
Bai Li Hong glanced at Liu Huan nonchalantly before he turned around and left. He came and went like the wind, entering and exiting Liu Huan's mansion as though there was no one around.
After Bai Li Hong left, Liu Huan's face turned completely grave. He said hatefully, "Duan Lingtian, if you don't die, I, Liu Huan, swear that I'm not human! Unless you hide in the Moon Illumination Sect forever, I'll make sure you die a graveless death! "
The moment his words left his mouth, he left his mansion, the inner court, and the Moon Illumination Sect.
After leaving the Moon Illumination Sect, Liu Huan headed north.
That direction was the direction of Han River City.
Han River City was the biggest city in the Nine Sect Alliances' territory. It was also the most prosperous city. The headquarters of the Nine Sect Alliances was located there.
