"How arrogant of you!"
Almost as soon as Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, a thunderous voice resonated from afar.
The voice was so loud that it caused Feng Wu Dao and the others' expressions to change.
It was not because of the voice that appeared out of nowhere, but it was because the voice was not unfamiliar to them.
The reason Half Moon Island became like this was all because of this person.
"I was wondering why they came back after they ran away. It turns out that they were waiting for you … In that case, you're the new Master of Half Moon Island, the Sect Leader of Ling Tian Sect, Duan Lingtian?"
As the voice rang out once again, another figure appeared in the secluded and quiet valley.
It was a middle-aged man in a golden robe who had a sturdy body like an iron tower. He stood in the air and looked down at Duan Lingtian with a judging gaze. His face was filled with coldness.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian felt an irresistible Spiritual Energy sweeping towards him. In just a blink of an eye, it shrouded his entire body, causing him to feel as though he was being watched.
At this moment, he felt that he could no longer hide anything from the golden-robed middle-aged man.
"You're more powerful than them, but you're only at the Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage … How dare you boast shamelessly that you're going to settle the score with me and the Dragons?"
The golden-robed middle-aged man, who was the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, Di Jue, looked at Duan Lingtian with a mocking smile. His tone was as though he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.
"You're Di Jue?"
Duan Lingtian's face turned grave as he stared at the golden-robed middle-aged man in front of him. He immediately guessed his identity.
The fact that Di Jue could see through his cultivation base meant that he was at the Saint Stage or above.
Moreover, he seemed to be an adult Five-clawed Divine Dragon.
"That's right! I'm Di Jue … I'm the one who destroyed Half Moon Island. Didn't you say you're going to settle the score with me? I'm standing right in front of you now, and I'm curious how you're going to settle the score with me. "
Di Jue stared at Duan Lingtian as the mocking smile on his face grew even wider.
Duan Lingtian's face turned even gloomier. Di Jue's words made him feel a little ashamed.
When he said he would settle the score with Di Jue and the Dragons, naturally, he was not talking about the current situation.
He was not arrogant enough to think that he could fight against Di Jue and the Dragons.
"Hmm?"
All of a sudden, Di Jue who had been staring at Duan Lingtian had a horrified expression on his face as he shouted sternly, "Duan Lingtian, why do you have my son's aura on you?"
"Your son?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
"Stop playing dumb! My son is Di Yong, the former Island Master of Half Moon Island. "
Di Jue snorted coldly.
Upon hearing Di Jue's words, Duan Lingtian understood many things.
As it turned out, Di Jue was Di Yong's father.
As for why Di Jue would come looking for him and knew that Di Yong was killed, he could roughly guess it. It must be because Di Jue had Di Yong's Soul Pearl in his hands.
Di Jue would naturally find out about Di Yong's death.
"So, you're Di Yong's father."
At this moment, Duan Lingtian's expression returned to its usual calmness as he continued to say nonchalantly, "Di Yong said that he wanted to go to the Dao Martial Saint Land and temporarily handed Half Moon Island to me … Apart from that, as a reward for managing Half Moon Island, he also gave me a drop of his blood essence."
"Perhaps, this is the reason why you said I have his aura on me."
When Duan Lingtian reached the end of his sentence, he was still expressionless. One could not tell if he was happy or angry.
"My son's blood essence? No wonder, no wonder … "
Di Jue nodded. When he looked at Duan Lingtian again, there was a cold killing intent in his eyes. "I've heard many people talking about this before … If it wasn't for the fact that I know it's impossible for my son to leave Half Moon Island, let alone go to the Dao Martial Saint Land, I'm afraid I would've been deceived by all of you."
When Di Jue reached the end of his sentence, he sneered.
"Impossible? In this world, nothing is impossible. "
Duan Lingtian said nonchalantly.
"Perhaps, you don't know this … Back then, I made Di Jue swear on the lightning penalty oath that before his cultivation base broke through to the Saint Stage, he's not allowed to leave Half Moon Island, let alone go to the Dao Martial Saint Land."
Di Jue had an expression that said 'you can stop pretending'.
Upon hearing Di Jue's words, Duan Lingtian's heart skipped a beat.
That Di Yong actually swore on such an oath?
As for the reason why Di Yong who was possessed by a soul and whose body had been taken over left Half Moon Island, Duan Lingtian could guess a little of it.
It was because Di Yong's soul had changed.
The lightning penalty oath recognized the soul of the person who swore on it, not the body.
"Although I don't know how you obtained my son's blood essence, I'm certain that you're related to my son's death!"
The gaze that Di Jue used to look at Duan Lingtian turned colder and colder, causing Duan Lingtian to feel as though he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Tell me. How did my son die? As long as you tell the truth and swear on the lightning penalty oath that you're telling the truth, I'll let the rest of you go except for you. "
As Di Jue spoke, he glanced at Kerr who was next to Duan Lingtian, Feng Wu Dao, Sima, and the rest.
At once, Feng Wu Dao and the rest were on guard as though they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Duan Lingtian, ignore him! Let's not talk about whether he's telling the truth or not. Even if he's really willing to let us go, I don't know about the others, but I can forget about living comfortably for the rest of my life! "
Suddenly, Chen Shao Shuai shouted loudly and stood next to Duan Lingtian in just a blink of an eye. With a lift of his hand, a three-foot-long green sword appeared in his hand and he pointed it at Di Jue.
"Ling Tian boy, although there's nobody who's not afraid of death, I, Feng Wu Dao, am willing to walk with you to the end today."
Feng Wu Dao took a step forward and stood next to Duan Lingtian as he said frankly.
Although Sima Changfeng did not say anything, his action undoubtedly showed that he was as determined as Feng Wu Dao.
Subsequently, whether it was Xiong Quan, the Gold Thug, or the Nangong brothers, they also stood next to Duan Lingtian. They chose to advance and retreat together with Duan Lingtian.
They could not bear to watch Duan Lingtian die while they continued to live.
At this moment, Luo Ping was the only one left who was hesitating.
Although she did not want to betray Duan Lingtian, she felt fear from the bottom of her heart when faced with Di Jue who was so powerful that he was invincible.
If it was possible, she hoped that she could survive.
"How touching … However, it seems like there's someone who's more willing to let you die while she lives alone."
As Di Jue spoke, his gaze landed on Luo Ping, causing her to feel as though she was facing a great enemy.
Duan Lingtian felt warmth from the bottom of his heart when he saw Feng Wu Dao, Sima Changfeng, Chen Shao Shuai, and the rest's attitude. Although he was a little disappointed with Luo Ping's indecisiveness, he did not blame her.
After all, the matter today was a matter of life and death to him.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian noticed that Kerr's slender and jade-like hand had already grabbed his hand without him noticing. She held it very tightly. It was obvious that she wanted to advance and retreat together with him and live and die together.
With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?
Duan Lingtian's gaze was as gentle as water. However, after this gentleness, it was as though he had made up his mind.
Boom!
Accompanied by a sudden loud bang, Di Jue did not seem to have made any move, but Luo Ping's entire body exploded and turned into nothingness.
Not a single drop of blood could be seen. It was as though she had completely evaporated.
The technique that Di Jue displayed caused Duan Lingtian's mood to turn even gloomier.
Powerful!
Too powerful!
Di Jue's strength made him feel powerless from the bottom of his heart. It was so much so that it was difficult for him to even have the thought of resisting.
He had no doubt that as long as Di Jue was willing, he could easily kill everyone, including him, with just a wave of his hand.
"I've helped you get rid of the person who was disloyal to you. Shouldn't you be thanking me?"
Di Jue looked straight at Duan Lingtian as he asked nonchalantly.
Although his tone was calm, it contained a murderous intent that sent chills down one's spine.
"Is what you said true?"
However, Duan Lingtian did not have any intention of thanking Di Jue. Instead, he changed the topic and asked nonchalantly.
"Of course, it's true."
When Di Jue realized what Duan Lingtian was asking, his eyes lit up all of a sudden. He continued to say nonchalantly, "To me, they're just ants. Whether they're alive or dead, it doesn't affect me at all."
"Who knows if you'll go back on your words or not?"
Duan Lingtian smirked.
"If I wanted to take their lives, I would've done it when they came back from Half Moon Island."
Di Jue sneered.
What he said was the truth. If he wanted to take Kerr and the rest's lives, they would not have survived until now.
"Do you dare to say that you don't have any other motive for keeping them alive?"
Duan Lingtian did not buy Di Jue's words as he asked nonchalantly.
"Then, what do you want?"
Di Jue frowned and asked in an unfriendly tone.
"Unless you swear on the lightning penalty oath that you won't do anything to them as long as I cooperate with you."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Brat, you're the first person who dares to ask my Di Jue to swear on the lightning penalty oath."
Di Jue said coldly.
"It's up to you whether you want to know the cause of your son's death or not."
Duan Lingtian said nonchalantly.
"Looks like I'm right. You really do know about it!"
Di Jue's eyes turned even colder. If it was not for the fact that he wanted to know the cause of his son's death, he would have killed Duan Lingtian right away.
At this moment, Kerr and the rest also realized what Duan Lingtian was trying to do.
Duan Lingtian wanted to sacrifice himself to save their lives.
"Young Master, Kerr will live and die with you! If you die, Kerr will definitely not live alone. "
Kerr tightened her grip on Duan Lingtian's hand. Her tone was filled with determination.
"Ling Tian brat, there's no one who's afraid of death by your side now … He's powerful, but don't even think about making us compromise!"
Feng Wu Dao added.
Sima Changfeng and the rest chimed in as well.
"Everyone, I've made up my mind. Let's leave it at that. Of course, the prerequisite is that this person has to swear on the lightning penalty oath."
When Duan Lingtian reached the end of his sentence, he looked at Di Jue.
"Hurmph!"
Di Jue, whose expression was extremely gloomy, finally chose to compromise. He swore on the lightning penalty oath in front of Duan Lingtian and the rest.
"Brat, can you tell us now?"
