However, Duan Lingtian knew there was no time for him to think about it.
Qian Kong was the Supreme Elder of the Moon Illumination Sect.
As a Saint Stage powerhouse, he was like a guardian in the Moon Illumination Sect.
Killing Qian Kong in front of so many people meant that he had committed a serious crime.
Most importantly, he had killed Qian Kong with just one strike of his sword. It was not because he was powerful, but because he had borrowed the Jasper Celestial Sword's energy. Borrowing the Jasper Celestial Sword's energy had cost him 90% of his True Energy.
Currently, he only had 10% of his True Energy left in his Qi Sea.
"Senior Brother, I'll leave Uncle Feng and the others in your hands."
The moment the thought left his mind, Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
At that instant, Sword Qi filled the area within a 100-meter radius with him as the center.
Streaks of incomparably sharp sword light whizzed past, setting off the area within a radius of a hundred meters as if it was a sword domain.
This was the Territory that Duan Lingtian had mastered after he had broken through to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage.
However, Duan Lingtian could not control what kind of Territory the True Energy Consolidated Territory was.
However, after breaking through to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, Duan Lingtian knew what kind of Territory he had comprehended. It was the 10,000 Swords Territory!
The reason Duan Lingtian comprehended this Territory was because he knew it had something to do with the Sovereign Heart Sword.
When Duan Lingtian found out what kind of Territory he had comprehended, he naturally knew what it was.
Due to this reason, 10,000 swords filled the area within a 100-meter radius with him as the center. After a while, the 10,000 swords flew toward him rapidly. From an outsider's perspective, it looked like the 10,000 swords were going to pierce his heart.
The scene of 10,000 swords whistling through the air was extremely spectacular. Only the ear-piercing sound of swords whistling through the air was left in the wake of the 10,000 swords.
In just a blink of an eye, the 10,000 swords gathered under Duan Lingtian's feet and transformed into a solid and dazzling sword. Then, it seemed as though it had transformed into a streak of light as it disappeared into the distance.
"What a terrifying Territory! What a fast speed! His speed is much faster than an Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse or even a Saint Stage powerhouse! "
High up in the sky, Tai Wu was also shocked when he saw this scene.
"However, looking at his complexion, he doesn't seem to be in a good condition … It's very obvious that using that mysterious treasured sword earlier also consumed a lot of his True Energy. It's impossible for him to perform a second sword strike in such a short time. "
As a Saint Stage powerhouse, Tai Wu's judgment was not bad. It was easy for him to see through Duan Lingtian's current situation.
Therefore, he immediately chased after him.
When Tai Wu chased after him, the few Moon Illumination Sect's Supreme Elders, including Jiang Wei, the Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect, finally regained their senses. Their expressions were grave as they chased after Duan Lingtian.
They had never imagined that things would develop to such an extent.
Duan Lingtian had killed Qian Kong!
Who was Qian Kong?
That was a powerhouse from the older generation in the Moon Illumination Sect. He was a Grand Elder of the Moon Illumination Sect whom they had known for many years.
Yet today, he had fallen before their eyes.
The person who killed him was a Moon Illumination Sect's disciple.
Although they thought highly of Duan Lingtian and felt that if Duan Lingtian continued to grow, he would definitely lead the Moon Illumination Sect to glory, things had developed to such an extent that they could no longer control it.
It would be fine if they were the only ones who saw Duan Lingtian killing Qian Kong.
However, the problem was that more than half of the Moon Illumination Sect's people had seen it.
Although Qian Kong was the Moon Illumination Sect's Supreme Elder, and many of the Moon Illumination Sect's disciples had never seen him before, the Moon Illumination Sect's elders and some of the Moon Illumination Sect's disciples recognized him.
If someone who killed a Moon Illumination Sect's Grand Elder like Qian Kong could still be nurtured by the sect and become the sect's leader in the future, it would undoubtedly be a huge joke.
Therefore, the moment Duan Lingtian killed Qian Kong, they knew the Moon Illumination Sect could no longer tolerate Duan Lingtian.
Since they could no longer tolerate him, and Duan Lingtian might hate the Moon Illumination Sect because of Qian Kong, they were left with only one choice, which was to kill Duan Lingtian to prevent future troubles!
They could not take the risk!
If they took the risk, Duan Lingtian would undoubtedly be a potential threat to the Moon Illumination Sect when he grew stronger.
They had to nip this threat in the bud!
At this moment, they had already forgotten about Bai Li Hong. Although a Three Star Saint Inscription Master was rare, it was insignificant in the face of the sect's survival.
While they were chasing after Duan Lingtian, Sect Leader Jiang Wei did not forget to instruct the few Vice Sect Leaders, "Keep an eye on Duan Lingtian. Don't let him and the people in his mansion leave."
Several Vice Sect Leaders rushed back to Bai Li Hong's residence at the first moment. They were just in time to intercept Bai Li Hong who was preparing to leave with Feng Wu Dao and the others.
To be more precise, they had intercepted Bai Li Hong and Feng Wu Dao's group.
"Elder Bai Li, the Sect Master has ordered that you and the people in your residence are not allowed to leave … If you have offended him in any way, I hope that you can forgive us."
A few Vice Sect Masters surrounded Bai Li Hong and the others, and one of them said.
"Gentlemen, how about we make a deal?"
Bai Li Hong looked at the few Vice Sect Leaders and asked indifferently. He did not panic.
"What deal?"
Several vice sect leaders frowned.
"If you let me go, I'm willing to give each of you a Saint Weapon inscribed with three Three Star Saint Inscriptions."
Bai Li Hong said.
Bai Li Hong's words lit up the eyes of the few Vice Sect Leaders. "Are you serious?"
"I can swear on the lightning penalty oath … However, it's not convenient for me to swear on the lightning penalty oath in the sect now. I'm sure the vice sect masters don't want others to hear the resonance of the nine-by-nine Heavenly Tribulation, right? "
Bai Li Hong added.
"Let's go!"
At this moment, the few Vice Sect Leaders looked at each other. Not only did they disobey Sect Leader Jiang Wei's order, but they even personally escorted Bai Li Hong, Feng Wu Dao, and the others out of the Moon Illumination Sect's estate.
Naturally, they were extremely discreet when they left. Nobody noticed them at all.
The reason they did so was because the temptation of Bai Li Hong's promise was too great.
Even the Sect Leader and the few Supreme Elders did not have a Saint Weapon inscribed with Three Star Saint Inscriptions, let alone them.
To them, Bai Li Hong's life and death were of no importance. The most important thing was to obtain the benefits in their hands. As for the Sect Leader, Jiang Wei, they could completely shirk the responsibility and say that they had chased after Bai Li Hong but failed to catch up to him.
When they arrived at a place far away from the Moon Illumination Sect's estate, Bai Li Hong swore on the lightning penalty oath and negotiated a deal with the few Vice Sect Leaders of the Moon Illumination Sect. The few Vice Sect Leaders of the Moon Illumination Sect were satisfied and let him go.
Although they had yet to obtain a Saint Weapon inscribed with three Three Star Saint Inscriptions, they were not worried that Bai Li Hong would go back on his word since he had swore on the lightning penalty oath.
Moreover, the lightning penalty oath that Bai Li Hong swore said that he would give each of them a Saint Weapon inscribed with three Star Saint Inscriptions within three years.
Three years was not a long time to them.
Naturally, Jiang Wei, the Sect Leader of the Moon Illumination Sect, was unaware of what had happened here. Otherwise, he would be so angry that he would throw up blood.
When Bai Li Hong brought Feng Wu Dao and the others away from the Moon Illumination Sect, the group of Moon Illumination Sect's elders, deacons, and disciples near the mountain gate of the Moon Illumination Sect's estate had already regained their senses.
The scene that had happened earlier had given them a great shock.
The Moon Illumination Sect's elders who recognized Qian Kong, in particular, muttered in shock, "Duan Ling Tian … He actually killed Elder Qian Kong? H-How … How's this possible?! "
"Elder Qian Kong is our Moon Illumination Sect's Supreme Elder. He's a Saint Stage powerhouse … H-But he …"
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! How's it possible for Duan Lingtian to be so powerful?! "
…
The group of Moon Illumination Sect's elders were shocked from the bottom of their hearts.
Some of them were even trying to confirm that they were not dreaming.
"Elder Qian Kong?"
"Supreme Elder?"
"Saint Stage powerhouse?!"
…
Naturally, the group of Moon Illumination Sect's disciples heard the words of the Moon Illumination Sect's elders.
At once, the identity of the old man who was killed with their own eyes spread out.
Qian Kong was the Moon Illumination Sect's Supreme Elder, a Saint Stage powerhouse.
"Oh my god! I'm not dreaming, am I? Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian killed Elder Liu Huan and Elder Qian Kong? Elder Qian Kong is a Saint Stage powerhouse! "
"A Saint Stage powerhouse is almost invincible to Martial and Dao Cultivators below the Saint Stage … Don't tell me Senior Brother Duan Lingtian is also a Saint Stage powerhouse?"
"When Senior Brother Duan Lingtian left earlier, he seemed to have cast his Territory with the True Energy Consolidated Territory … His strength is not as simple as what he showed in front of Elder Liu Huan!"
"The True Energy Consolidated Territory is the symbol of a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse … Senior Brother Duan Lingtian is at least a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse!"
"Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage? In my opinion, Senior Brother Duan Lingtian is a Saint Stage powerhouse. Otherwise, how could he kill Elder Qian Kong?"
"I also think Senior Brother Duan Lingtian is a Saint Stage powerhouse."
…
The group of Moon Illumination Sect's disciples discussed among themselves. When they mentioned Duan Lingtian, their faces were filled with awe and shock.
They were not the only ones. Even the group of Moon Illumination Sect's elders did not realize that although Duan Lingtian had killed Qian Kong, he had cast a heavy blow.
Apart from Tai Wu from the Mountainshade Black Market, even the few Saint Stage powerhouses, including Jiang Wei, the Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect, had noticed this as well.
They knew it would be difficult for Duan Lingtian to cast such a powerful sword strike again in a short period of time. That was why they dared to chase after him. Otherwise, how would they dare to chase after a powerhouse who could kill Qian Kong in just one strike?
Naturally, the reason they chased after Duan Lingtian was not only to kill Duan Lingtian to prevent future trouble, but they could also see how extraordinary the sword in Duan Lingtian's hand was.
As Saint Stage powerhouses, apart from having a good eyesight, they also had a keen sense that far surpassed ordinary martial artists.
