Duan Lingtian came to Han River City for two purposes.
Firstly, to buy an Inscription Pen.
Secondly, to look for the materials needed to repair the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
He had already bought the Inscription Pen.
What he needed to do next was to look for the materials needed to repair the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
When he first came to Han River City, he was all alone. Now that he had arrived at the Nine Sect Alliances' headquarters and the Moon Illumination Sect's base in the Nine Sect Alliances' headquarters, he had also received Dong Hui's help.
With Dong Hui's help, he had collected many materials needed to repair the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Of course, there were not many high-grade materials among these materials.
However, there was a pleasant surprise in the Ouyang Clan.
With Huo Lao's reminder, the materials that Duan Lingtian had collected in the Ouyang Clan to repair the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda were much better than the materials he had collected in Han River City for the past few days.
"Thank you, Clan Leader Ouyang."
Before leaving the Ouyang Clan, Duan Lingtian thanked Ouyang Ba with a smile.
Although Ouyang Ba's heart was bleeding and he hated Duan Lingtian, he did not show it. He did not dare to show it. He could only reply with a smile, "As long as you don't mind, Young Master Duan."
"I don't mind. Of course, I don't mind."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "If there's a chance next time, I'll definitely visit you in the Ouyang Clan again, Clan Leader Ouyang."
Duan Lingtian's words scared Ouyang Ba so much that his heart trembled.
Next time?
Just this time, the group of Ouyang Clan's elders already had a strong opinion of him. If he were to do it again, those old fellows would definitely skin him alive.
However, when Ouyang Ba thought about how he had already sent away his troublemaker son, he sighed in relief.
"Farewell, Clan Leader Ouyang."
When Duan Ling Tian saw the fake smile on Ouyang Ba's face, he was delighted as well. After greeting him nonchalantly, he left the Ouyang Clan with Dong Hui.
Ouyang Ba, the Clan Leader of Ouyang Clan, personally sent the two of them to the gate.
The Ouyang Clan's steward, Ouyang Ji, and the Second Young Miss of the Ouyang Clan, Ouyang Ruo, accompanied him to send off Duan Lingtian and Duan Ling Tian.
"He's actually a Duan Lingtian … How could he be a Duan Lingtian?!"
Even though a few days had passed, Ouyang Ruo still found it hard to believe that the person who saved her in the Jiuqu Mountain Range back then was actually the Moon Illumination Sect's disciple, Duan Lingtian, whose name had spread like wildfire in the Nine Sect Alliances' district recently.
However, when Ouyang Ruo recalled that her brother was sent to the Nether Ridge because of Duan Lingtian, her face turned cold right away. Her eyes were filled with cold hatred.
"Duan Lingtian, it's all because of you! If it wasn't for you, my brother wouldn't have been sent to the Nether Ridge. "
Those who entered the Nether Ridge had a slim chance of survival.
Ouyang Ruo also didn't think that Ouyang Qing could walk out of there alive.
Ouyang Ruo really wanted to avenge her brother.
However, when she thought about Duan Lingtian's innate talent, strength, and background, she felt a wave of helplessness in her heart. She couldn't summon any thoughts of revenge at all, so she could only bury the hatred deep in her heart.
"Junior Brother Duan, it's rare for you to come to Han River City. Why don't you stay for a while longer?"
On the way back to the Nine Sect Alliances' headquarters after leaving the Ouyang Clan, Dong Hui immediately urged Duan Lingtian to stay when he heard that he would be returning to the Moon Illumination Sect in a few days. "It's only a few days, and I haven't had the time to show my hospitality as your Senior Brother."
"If Senior Brother Bai Li finds out that I've neglected you, he definitely won't be happy."
Dong Hui told Duan Lingtian.
"Senior Brother Hui, I'm not leaving now … Besides, I still have something to do when I return to the sect in a few days, so I won't be able to stay in Han River City for too long."
Duan Lingtian smiled. "When your shift is over and you return to the sect, we'll have a good gathering again."
"Since you insist, Junior Brother, then I won't say anything else. However, I'll have to arrange your schedule for the next few days. Let me be the host for the next few days. "
Dong Hui said.
"Yes, Senior Brother Hui."
Duan Lingtian agreed right away. It was all thanks to Dong Hui's help these few days. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to find so many materials.
As soon as Duan Lingtian returned to the Moon Illumination Sect's stronghold in the Nine Sect Alliances' headquarters, he heard Dong Hui calling out to him before he even had the chance to sit down.
"Senior Brother Hui, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
He had just parted ways with Dong Hui not long ago, and he did not expect Dong Hui to come looking for him again.
"Junior Brother Duan, I shouldn't have disturbed your rest, but according to the rules of the Nine Sect Alliances' Earth Ranking, I have to."
Dong Hui smiled wryly.
"Earth Ranking? Don't tell me someone wants to challenge me? "
Duan Lingtian raised his brow and asked.
He could not think of anything else other than this.
"That's right."
Dong Hui nodded. "I heard it from someone else as well. That person came early this morning, but we just happened to go to the Ouyang Clan … Now that he heard you're back, he's already waiting outside our Moon Illumination Sect's stronghold."
"Now, many people from the other eight great sects are waiting for you to accept his challenge as well … They more or less want to see you, the young genius who has become famous in the Nine Sect Alliances' district."
Dong Hui said.
"Since he's already here, I'll go and meet him!"
Duan Lingtian responded and left the Moon Illumination Sect's stronghold with Dong Hui, arriving outside the Moon Illumination Sect's stronghold.
When they arrived outside the Moon Illumination Sect's stronghold, Duan Lingtian was taken aback when he saw the black mass of people in the surroundings.
Outside the Moon Illumination Sect's stronghold, the black mass of people was surrounding an empty space like stars surrounding the moon.
A middle-aged man in ordinary clothes stood in the middle of the empty space. The middle-aged man's face was covered in stubble, and he looked very sloppy.
However, his eyes were brimming with vigor, giving off a threatening aura.
Duan Lingtian knew very well that this must be the person who wanted to challenge him.
However, Duan Lingtian did not take this person to heart.
Even before he had broken through to the Intermediate Saint Rudiment Stage, he was not afraid of any Mortal Shedding Stage Martial or Dao Cultivator's challenge, let alone now that he had broken through to the Intermediate Saint Rudiment Stage.
"It's Elder Hui from the Moon Illumination Sect!"
When Duan Lingtian and Dong Hui came out together, many people recognized Dong Hui.
"The person who came out together with Elder Hui must be Duan Lingtian, right?"
"That's right! It's him! I was on duty a few days ago, and I saw him coming to our Nine Sect Alliances' headquarters with my own eyes. "
"I thought he would avoid the challenge from the Earth Ranking's powerhouse on purpose, but I didn't expect him to accept the challenge directly … It seems like he's very confident in his own strength."
…
While the people from the other eight sects were discussing among themselves, all of them had their eyes trained on Duan Lingtian.
These people were the inner court disciples of the various sects, and all of them were at the Saint Rudiment Stage or above.
If it was an ordinary person, they would more or less feel a little nervous when they saw so many people at the Saint Rudiment Stage or above sizing them up.
However, Duan Lingtian remained calm when faced with these people's gazes. From the beginning until the end, he was as calm as an ancient well, as though he was an old monk who was meditating.
"Hmph! He's just someone who's ranked 71st on the Earth Ranking … Our Junior Brother Duan can even defeat someone who's ranked 66th on the Earth Ranking. Don't tell me he's afraid of someone who's ranked even lower? "
Liu Hai snorted coldly and said in disdain when he heard what the other eight sects' disciples said.
"That's right! Our Junior Brother Duan's strength has been proven, and he deserves his reputation! "
Many Moon Illumination Sect's inner court disciples agreed.
"Pfft!"
Many people from the other eight sects could not help but laugh when they heard what the group of Moon Illumination Sect's inner court disciples said.
"The problem is … He Zhong who's ranked 66th on the Earth Ranking is also a disciple of your Moon Illumination Sect."
"That's right! Who knows if He Zhong was coerced by your Moon Illumination Sect's high-ranking officials and had no choice but to lose to Duan Lingtian? "
…
Although the people from the other eight sects did not mention a name, the group of Moon Illumination Sect's inner court disciples knew who the Moon Illumination Sect's high-ranking official was.
It was none other than Elder Bai Li Hong who had acknowledged Duan Lingtian as his Junior Brother.
"Bullsh * t!"
Liu Hai scolded with a flushed face.
Many of the Moon Illumination Sect's inner court disciples followed suit and scolded as well.
However, some of the Moon Illumination Sect's inner court disciples had a hint of doubt in their eyes when they heard what the disciples from the other eight sects said. They stared at Duan Lingtian who was walking out of the Moon Illumination Sect's stronghold slowly.
It was apparent that they had doubts in their hearts.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian heard and noticed the discussions in the surroundings and the questioning gazes in the surroundings.
However, he did not mind at all.
This was because he knew he would be able to shut the mouths of the disciples from the other eight sects very soon. Soon, the questioning gazes in the surroundings would disappear.
"You're the Duan Lingtian who defeated He Zhong and replaced him to be ranked 66th on the Earth Ranking?"
The middle-aged man with a face full of stubble and a slightly sloppy appearance looked straight at Duan Ling Tian and asked with a tone that was close to questioning.
However, Duan Lingtian merely glanced at him nonchalantly. "So what if I am?"
"If you are, I'll defeat you today and replace you!"
The middle-aged man's eyes gleamed with arrogance as he said confidently, "Remember, the person who defeated you is called …"
"Idiot!"
Duan Lingtian spat out two words slowly and interrupted the middle-aged man's words. He did not have a good impression of this guy who had spoken to him in a condescending manner since the beginning.
If you want to challenge me, just do it. What's the point of being long-winded?
"Hahahaha …"
When Duan Lingtian interrupted the middle-aged man's words, the crowd burst into laughter when they heard it.
This was because the two words that Duan Lingtian spat out just happened to finish the middle-aged man's sentence.
"This Duan Lingtian is really arrogant. He provoked the other party as soon as he opened his mouth."
Many of the disciples from the other eight sects shook their heads. They felt that Duan Lingtian was too impulsive.
"Now that he's won't have a good time, he's going to have a hard time."
Many of the disciples from the other eight sects gloated.
The furious middle-aged man opened his mouth as though he wanted to say something.
