When Qian Kong left, Bai Li Hong had also left his mansion and arrived near the Moon Illumination Sect's monastery gate. What he wanted to do was to intercept Duan Lingtian and make him leave the Moon Illumination Sect.
Naturally, the reason he wanted to do that was because of Qian Kong.
In his opinion, Qian Kong must be certain that Duan Lingtian was the one who killed Zhao Feng when he saw what happened.
Based on Qian Kong's attitude toward Zhao Feng's death, it was impossible for him to let Duan Lingtian go.
As soon as Bai Li Hong left, Qian Kong arrived at his mansion. His face turned grave immediately when he discovered Duan Ling Tian was nowhere to be found. "Don't tell me he hasn't returned yet?"
The moment Qian Kong thought of this, he searched the entire Moon Illumination Sect as fast as he could. In the end, he appeared near the Moon Illumination Sect's monastery gate and waited there.
"Bai Li Hong!"
When Qian Kong arrived near the Moon Illumination Sect's monastery gate, he noticed Bai Li Hong immediately. His face turned grave immediately.
However, he did not want to alert Duan Lingtian. Instead, he hid at the side.
Bai Li Hong was waiting, and so was he.
As the person involved, Duan Lingtian had no idea what was happening in the Moon Illumination Sect at all. Currently, he was returning to the Moon Illumination Sect's estate as though nothing had happened.
Soon after, he saw a little black dot appearing in the distance.
As he continued to move forward, the little black dot grew bigger and eventually transformed into the Moon Illumination Sect's estate. The Moon Illumination Sect's monastery gate also appeared clearly before his eyes.
"I'm back."
A smile appeared on Duan Lingtian's face when he saw the Moon Illumination Sect's monastery gate. "I'll find some time to return to Mound Hill City and inform Teacher about Liu Huan's death. I'm sure Teacher will be very happy at that time."
"Duan Lingtian!"
Just as Duan Lingtian continued to make his way to the Moon Illumination Sect's monastery gate, a thunderous roar resonated from the Moon Illumination Sect's monastery gate. It was so loud that it spread in all directions.
At once, everyone in the Moon Illumination Sect's estate heard the thunderous roar.
At this moment, the Sky Mirror Image above the Moon Illumination Sect disappeared.
Most of the people in the Moon Illumination Sect's estate were stunned for a moment before they rushed toward the Moon Illumination Sect's monastery gate one after another. They could faintly sense that something interesting was going to happen at the place where the roar came from.
"It's Martial Uncle Qian!"
When the group of Moon Illumination Sect's elders and disciples rushed out of the Moon Illumination Sect's monastery gate, Sect Leader Jiang Wei who was hovering in the sky could not help but be stunned when he recognized the owner of the voice.
"Junior brother Qian?"
"Senior brother Qian?"
At this moment, the other few Moon Illumination Sect's Saint Stage powerhouses, who were also the Supreme Elders of the Moon Illumination Sect, could not help but frown.
"Not good!"
Jiang Wei was the first to react, and his expression changed drastically.
"What?"
The other few Supreme Elders of the Moon Illumination Sect immediately looked at Jiang Wei.
"Martial Uncle Qian must have seen Duan Lingtian's strength. He must be certain that Duan Lingtian killed Zhao Feng … We must stop him!"
The moment his words left his mouth, Jiang Wei vanished from his spot and rushed out of the Moon Illumination Sect's monastery gate as fast as he could.
When the other Supreme Elders heard his words, they immediately regained their senses as well. Horror dawned on them as well.
'Junior Brother Qian is foolish!'
'Senior Brother Qian is too rash!'
…
As the few of them caught up to Jiang Wei, they could not help but curse him inwardly.
At this moment, they also realized the severity of the matter.
They knew Qian Kong's temper very well. Since he was certain Duan Lingtian had the strength to kill Zhao Feng, he would definitely not show mercy to Duan Lingtian.
After all, he was the kind of person who would rather kill 1,000 innocent people than let one person go.
However, in their eyes, Duan Lingtian was the Moon Illumination Sect's treasure and shouldered the Moon Illumination Sect's future. Due to this reason, they would not allow Qian Kong to touch Duan Lingtian.
However, based on the current situation, the situation was not optimistic.
Even if they arrived in time, Duan Lingtian might have already been killed by Qian Kong.
On the other hand, Duan Lingtian was also taken aback by the roar that resonated in the distance. He was still in a daze.
"Junior Brother, run!"
Another familiar voice resonated in the air.
He could tell it was his Senior Brother, Bai Li Hong's, voice.
At this moment, Bai Li Hong's voice was filled with anxiety as though he had encountered something that caused him to panic.
Upon hearing Bai Li Hong's voice, Duan Lingtian panicked for no reason.
At this moment, he felt a suffocating feeling spread throughout his body. Around his body, the area within a hundred meters of him instantly turned into a golden ocean.
'Territory! Moreover, it's not an ordinary Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage's Territory! '
This was the thought that appeared in Duan Lingtian's mind at this moment. Horror dawned on him immediately.
Even at this moment, he still had no idea what was going on. Why would someone who seemed to be a Saint Stage powerhouse make a move on him?
"Duan Lingtian, I'll make you accompany my son, Zhao Feng, in death!"
Just when Duan Lingtian was almost suffocated by the golden ocean-like Territory and could not breathe at all, the person who had roared earlier shouted at Duan Lingtian through Voice Transmission.
Duan Ling Tian who was already on the verge of suffocating almost fainted when he heard this Voice Transmission.
At this critical moment, under the heavy pressure, the vast True Energy in Duan Lingtian's Qi Sea swept out and quickly flowed through his 99 Saint Veins.
With the help of the Nine Dragons Conveyance, the True Energy completed a Major Circulatory Cycle in just a blink of an eye before it whistled and rushed into Duan Lingtian's Qi Sea.
In an instant, the Qi Sea in between Duan Lingtian's eyebrows trembled and seemed to explode.
The feeling of fainting appeared again. However, this time, Duan Lingtian did not feel oppressed. Instead, he felt his body and mind lightened.
All of this was because he had made a breakthrough!
Under the heavy pressure, he had completed his breakthrough to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage. Everything was just a matter of time.
Originally, Duan Lingtian was only a step away from the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage. He had not cultivated for such a long time on the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda for nothing.
However, due to some reasons, he had not been able to break through the last layer of paper.
This time, due to the pressure from the Territory of the suspected Saint Stage powerhouse and the thunderous Voice Transmission, Duan Lingtian managed to complete the final breakthrough and take the most crucial step.
After he had broken through to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, although the pressure from the golden ocean was still there, it was not as strong as before.
However, the suffocating sense of crisis was getting stronger and stronger.
At the same time, he felt a terrifying aura sweeping toward him at an extremely exaggerated speed.
Without any hesitation, Duan Lingtian instantly activated his Strange Pupil. His Spiritual Energy was rapidly depleted, causing the scene in his field of vision to slow down.
Seizing this critical moment, Duan Lingtian quickly took out the Jasper Celestial Sword. The True Energy in his Qi Sea that had expanded after his breakthrough continuously surged into the Jasper Celestial Sword.
However, in the end, Duan Lingtian still retained 10% of his True Energy.
90% of his True Energy was quickly injected into the Jasper Celestial Sword.
At this moment, the Jasper Celestial Sword began to tremble violently as it emitted a terrifying aura. The green energy on the sword was constantly flashing, causing the surrounding air to tremble.
Without any hesitation or time for Duan Lingtian to think, Duan Lingtian raised his hand and swung the Jasper Celestial Sword out.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian discovered that his heart was extremely calm. It was as though he had vaguely established a connection with the Jasper Celestial Sword in his hand.
This connection was magical and difficult to describe with words. However, Duan Lingtian could clearly feel it.
Whoosh!
The sound of the sword whistling in the air disappeared in a flash as though it was a flash in Duan Lingtian's ears.
At the same time, under the watchful eyes of the group of Moon Illumination Sect's elders and disciples who had rushed out of the Moon Illumination Sect's estate, an old figure that was not far away from Duan Lingtian was directly slashed into half.
At the same time, the golden ocean in the sky disappeared as well.
"Junior Uncle Qian!"
"Junior Brother Qian!"
"Senior Brother Qian!"
At the instant the old figure was slashed into half by the sword ray, a few sorrowful cries resonated in the sky far away. It was none other than Jiang Wei, the Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect, and the few Supreme Elders of Moon Illumination Sect.
Initially, they were a little disappointed. They thought Duan Lingtian would not be able to escape from Qian Kong's evil clutches.
However, the sudden scene in front of them left them completely dumbfounded.
Duan Lingtian had killed Qian Kong with just a sword strike!
At the same time, not only were Jiang Wei and the others dumbfounded, but even Tai Wu who was hiding in the sky and watching the show was shocked as well. Cold sweat even broke out on his forehead.
'Thank goodness … Thank goodness …'
At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind. He was thankful that he did not snatch the mysterious sword in Duan Lingtian's hand.
Although he knew his strength was far more powerful than Qian Kong who had been killed.
However, even he did not dare to say he could block that sword strike with 100% certainty.
That sword strike was too fast and too powerful.
It was so fast that it shocked him. It was so powerful that it made his heart tremble.
"Junior Brother, run!"
Although Bai Li Hong was also shocked by Duan Lingtian's domineering sword strike, he was the first to react and urged Duan Lingtian to run.
Perhaps he did not know how Duan Lingtian could perform such a terrifying sword strike, but he could vaguely sense that Duan Lingtian must have met certain conditions to perform that sword strike.
It would be difficult for Duan Lingtian to perform the same sword strike now.
"I'll protect your family and friends!"
Bai Li Hong continued to urge him.
"Qian Kong?"
Upon hearing Bai Li Hong's words, Duan Lingtian's train of thought instantly became clear.
"So Zhao Feng is really Qian Kong's illegitimate son!"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian recalled Qian Kong's Voice Transmission and realized his previous guess was right. Zhao Feng was really Qian Kong's illegitimate son.
However, he could not figure out how Qian Kong knew he was the one who killed Zhao Feng.
