"Junior Brother, you actually managed to kill Zhao Feng … That Zhao Feng was at the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage. In terms of strength, among the people below the Saint Rudiment Stage in the sect, only a few Vice Sect Leaders, another inner court elder, and I were able to suppress him. What level has your current strength reached? "
Bai Li Hong asked with a solemn expression. He was curious about Duan Lingtian's current strength.
"To tell you the truth, Senior Brother, I'm not afraid of anyone below the Saint Stage right now."
Duan Lingtian did not hide the truth and replied bluntly.
His words were filled with confidence.
Naturally, there was something else he did not say.
When he had broken through to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, he was confident he would be able to kill an ordinary Saint Stage powerhouse.
"You're confident you'll be able to kill an Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse?"
Bai Li Hong sucked in a cold breath.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. Although an Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse was strong, with his current strength, he only needed one strike to kill his opponent if he used the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword.
"Looks like I really don't have to worry about your safety anymore, Junior Brother … Your current strength has already surpassed me as your Senior Brother."
Bai Li Hong sighed emotionally.
He did not doubt Duan Lingtian's words at all.
At the same time, he was also happy for Duan Lingtian. This meant his Junior Brother would be able to protect himself now.
"No matter how strong I am, Senior Brother will always be Duan Lingtian's Senior Brother."
Duan Lingtian said solemnly.
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Bai Li Hong nodded with a smile on his face.
"Junior Brother."
Suddenly, Bai Li Hong seemed to have recalled something. The smile on his face disappeared as he said to Duan Lingtian solemnly, "You can just tell me about your current strength, but you can't reveal it to others. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble."
"I understand."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He was not stupid, so he naturally knew what Bai Li Hong meant by inviting trouble.
If the Supreme Elder, Qian Kong, were to find out about his current strength, he would probably denounce him at the first possible moment.
It was because his current strength was sufficient to easily kill Zhao Feng.
"Apart from that, it's obvious that Liu Huan was the one who released those two pieces of news. He must know that he can't do anything to us. But he still did it, so he must have something in mind. "
Bai Li Hong added.
"It's not hard to guess what he's after. He must have seen that I haven't left the manor for a long time after returning, and was deeply afraid that after a few years of secluded cultivation, I would become even stronger than him … At that time, the initiative between him and me would completely change. "
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as he spoke with certainty.
"That should be the case."
Bai Li Hong nodded in agreement, and then laughed mockingly, "Unfortunately, he probably never imagined even in his dreams that Junior Brother's current strength is far superior to his … Junior Brother, you can even kill Zhao Feng, so killing him is as easy as killing a chicken or cutting grass."
"Since he can't sit still, I'll play along with him and have some fun with him."
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed coldly as he said coldly.
When he left the Moon Illumination Sect, he was not afraid of Liu Huan at all.
At that time, he had not obtained the legacy of the Sovereign Heart Sword, and he could not use the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword.
Currently, his strength was incomparable to before. Naturally, he was not afraid of Liu Huan at all.
"This time, Senior Brother, I won't cause any trouble."
Bai Li Hong said awkwardly when he heard Duan Lingtian's words.
"However, Junior Brother, I suggest that you wait for a while before making your move. At this moment, I'm afraid there are other eyes on you apart from Liu Huan."
Bai Li Hong seemed to have recalled something as he spoke with a solemn expression.
"Senior Brother, are you referring to Qian Kong?"
Duan Lingtian raised an eyebrow.
"Yes."
Bai Li Hong nodded. "I have a feeling that the relationship between Qian Kong and Zhao Feng is not ordinary. It has even surpassed the relationship between a direct disciple and a direct disciple … Based on Qian Kong's behavior a few days ago, he definitely won't let Zhao Feng's death go so easily! Due to this reason, I'm worried he's watching your every move. "
"Understood."
Duan Lingtian nodded. He had a plan in his heart.
"In that case, I'll wait until I've broken through to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage before I look for Liu Huan to have some fun."
When Duan Lingtian reached the end of his sentence, he emphasized the word 'have some fun'.
In the following days, Duan Lingtian began to repeat what he did before. He cultivated quietly on the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, ignoring everything that happened outside.
Soon after, the words of Jiang Wei, the Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect, spread out.
"Elder Bai Li has already sworn on the lightning penalty oath that he has nothing to do with Elder Zhao Feng's death … If anyone dares to slander Elder Bai Li again, they'll be punished severely!"
These were Jiang Wei's exact words.
When Jiang Wei's words spread out in the Moon Illumination Sect, the entire Moon Illumination Sect was in an uproar again.
"As it turns out, the nine claps of thunder a few days ago were the resonance of the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation when Elder Bai Li swore on the lightning penalty oath."
"Since he swore on the lightning penalty oath, this matter definitely has nothing to do with Elder Bai Li."
"I can't believe the Sect Leader actually asked Elder Bai Li to swear on the lightning penalty oath just for Elder Zhao Feng … Isn't he afraid Elder Bai Li will be disappointed by his actions?"
"Elder Bai Li is the only Three Star Saint Inscription Master in our Moon Illumination Sect. If he's offended, he can just leave the sect … The other eight great sects and the Mountainshade Black Market can't wait for Elder Bai Li to join them."
"The Sect Leader has indeed gone overboard with this matter."
…
Similar discussions spread out in the Moon Illumination Sect. Most of them were on Bai Li Hong's side.
At the same time, the other few Supreme Elders in the Moon Illumination Sect's forbidden area had also learned about this matter. They immediately went to look for the Sect Leader, Jiang Wei.
"Sect Leader, you've gone overboard with this matter!"
"If Elder Bai Li leaves the Moon Illumination Sect because of this, you'll be the sinner of the Moon Illumination Sect!"
"Hurmph! It was just a Zhao Feng … Forget about the fact that Elder Bai Li didn't kill him, even if he did, so what? Compared to Elder Bai Li, he's worthless to our Moon Illumination Sect! "
…
The few Supreme Elders began to question Jiang Wei as soon as they saw him.
At this moment, Jiang Wei felt wronged. He immediately looked at Qian Kong who had a grave expression on his face. "Junior Uncle Qian, don't tell me you want me to take the blame for this matter?"
Qian Kong was dragged here by the other Supreme Elders. Although he did not want to come, he knew he had to come at this time.
Naturally, he did not come to denounce Jiang Wei. Instead, he came to stop the other Supreme Elders from denouncing Jiang Wei.
As expected, the moment Jiang Wei's words left his mouth, the other Supreme Elders looked at Qian Kong one after another.
"Junior Brother Qian, what's going on?"
"Junior Brother Qian, don't tell me you're the one who made Elder Bai Li swear on the lightning penalty oath instead of the Sect Leader? If that's the case, you're too muddle-headed! "
"Senior Brother Qian, I know Zhao Feng almost became your disciple, but he failed in the end, didn't he? Why do you care so much about his life and death? It's not worth it to offend Elder Bai Li because of him. "
…
The few Supreme Elders were either Qian Kong's Senior Brothers or Junior Brothers. All of them were from the older generation in the Moon Illumination Sect.
They were not as polite as Jiang Wei when they spoke to Qian Kong.
"What if he's my son?"
Faced with the accusation from his Senior Brothers, Qian Kong's face was terrifyingly grave. In the end, he told them about his relationship with Zhao Feng.
The entire place fell silent at once.
It was obvious the few Supreme Elders of the Moon Illumination Sect did not know about the relationship between Qian Kong and Zhao Feng. When they heard Qian Kong's words, they were stunned for a moment before they smiled wryly.
If that was the case, they could not blame Qian Kong anymore.
After all, they would have done the same if they were in his shoes.
Jiang Wei who was standing at the side sighed in relief at this moment.
He did not care what the people below said about him.
However, he had to care about the opinions of these few people before him. Not only were they his seniors, but they were also the guardians of the Moon Illumination Sect.
In Jiang Wei's opinion, this was the best outcome.
However, he didn't know that from a certain point of view, this matter was only the beginning, and it was still far from the end.
In the inner court of the Moon Illumination Sect.
"That Duan Lingtian is so calm?"
Liu Huan's expression was extremely grave. Initially, he thought Duan Lingtian would lose his cool because of this incident. However, Duan Lingtian's composure had completely exceeded his imagination.
At this moment, he felt embarrassed and helpless.
Could it be that all the things he had done secretly were all in vain?
He was unwilling to accept this! He was really unwilling to accept this!
However, what could he do even if he was unwilling to accept this?
"Wait! Wait! I don't believe that Duan Lingtian will continue to hide in Bai Li Hong's mansion! "
Liu Huan said through gritted teeth.
At the same time, in a place near the central district of the Moon Illumination Sect, a figure flew out of an independent mansion behind a mountain that was covered in mist. In just a blink of an eye, it disappeared into the clouds.
Soon after, the figure arrived in the depths of the mountain.
"Master, you're finally back!"
Han Xuenai said excitedly when she saw the beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure before her.
"Xue Nai, I've already asked my friend to divine the whereabouts of Sister Kerr. She's safe now … However, she'll face a great calamity soon! That calamity is related to her life … Whether she can survive it or not will depend on her luck. "
The beautiful woman sighed when she saw Han Xuenai. A beautiful smile appeared on her face.
When Han Xuenai heard the beautiful woman say that Kerr was safe, a smile appeared on her face.
However, horror dawned on her when she heard the beautiful woman's words. "A great calamity that's related to her life? Master, Senior Prophet … Did he really say that? "
The friend her master mentioned was The Oracle Man who was famous in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
