When Di Jue recalled how he had told Leader Dugu of the Mountainshade Black Market about Duan Lingtian through Voice Transmission, he felt relieved.
In his opinion …
He did not even know if Duan Lingtian would still be alive after five years.
Even if he was still alive, it was impossible for him to be a match for him. Di Jue was very confident in his own strength.
'He wants Duan Lingtian to defeat me after five years? What a fool's dream! '
Di Jue was filled with disdain for Duan Rufeng's additional condition. He did not think Duan Lingtian would be able to defeat him after five years.
"Clan Leader, in my opinion, Duan Rufeng is afraid of us Dragons. It's just that he doesn't dare to show it directly … I think he's just trying to give himself a way out by proposing such a condition. I don't think he thinks his son will be able to defeat me after five years. "
Di Jue sent a Voice Transmission to Di Shan, feeling good about himself.
However, Di Shan was a cautious person. "It's not that I haven't thought about what you've said, but it's quite impossible. Ever since Duan Rufeng rose to power, he has always been domineering! I'm sure you know how the Azure Cloud Mansion used to be. However, he's holding up the Azure Cloud Mansion all by himself. Even Ku Mi and Rong Yuan, the two former Mansion Masters of Azure Cloud Mansion who did not pay much attention to them, respect him greatly. "
"This Duan Rufeng is not an ordinary person … Apart from giving in, the reason he proposed such a condition is because he wants us Dragons to agree to give his son a chance to enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool," Di Shan continued to say.
He still felt it would be inappropriate for him to agree to Duan Rufeng's request without careful consideration.
However, based on Duan Rufeng's attitude, it could be seen this was his bottom line.
Due to this reason, although Di Shan was unwilling to agree to Duan Rufeng's request, he did not reject it directly. He wanted to hear Di Jue's opinion.
After all, Di Jue was the person who did not want the chance to enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool to fall into the hands of others the most.
However, judging from the current situation, Di Jue seemed to be very confident.
Seeing Duan Rufeng's face darkening and the demon aura rising from his body, Di Shan knew that he had to make a decision.
"Di Jue, do you mean that … I should agree with him?"
Di Shan asked Di Jue through Voice Transmission again.
"Promise him! In my opinion, he's just deliberately mystifying things. "
Di Jue replied with absolute certainty.
When Di Shan saw how determined Di Jue was and faced with the pressure from Duan Rufeng, he finally nodded and agreed to it. "Mansion Master Duan, I can agree to your request … We'll open the Dragon Cleansing Pool five years later. Five years later, if your son, Duan Lingtian, can defeat Di Jue, I'll give your son the opportunity to enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool. However, if your son loses, the opportunity to enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool will still belong to Di Jue. "
"Since Clan Leader Di Shan has agreed to it, please hand over one of the keys to open the Dragon Cleansing Pool … Clan Leader Di Shan, do you want me to keep the Sun Key or the Moon Key?"
After Di Shan agreed to it, Duan Rufeng asked nonchalantly.
The Dragon Cleansing Pool of the Dragons would only be opened once every 5,000 years. Each time it was opened, the Sun Key and the Moon Key that were passed down by the Dragons would be used. The Dragon Cleansing Pool could only be opened by using these two keys at the same time.
These two keys were usually kept by the Clan Leader of the Dragons.
For this reason, Duan Rufeng directly asked for the key from Di Shan.
"Mansion Master Duan, there's no need for this, right? Don't tell me that as the Clan Leader of the Dragons, I'll lie to you? "
Di Shan asked with a frown.
The Sun Key and the Moon Key were the Holy Relics of the Dragons. Naturally, he was unwilling to hand over one of them even if it was only temporarily kept by Duan Rufeng.
"I'm worried."
Duan Rufeng's reply was very straightforward. It was so straightforward that it caused Di Shan's expression to turn grave immediately. This was because Duan Rufeng was questioning his character.
"Mansion Master Duan, how about this? If you don't believe me, how about I swear on the lightning penalty oath?"
Di Shan looked at Duan Rufeng.
"Naturally, I'll swear on the lightning penalty oath. However, I must keep one of the keys to open the Dragon Cleansing Pool. Clan Leader Di Shan, you can rest assured. Five years later, no matter if my son wins or loses, I'll return the key to you. For this, I'll swear on the lightning penalty oath as well. "
Duan Rufeng said.
When Di Shan saw how Duan Rufeng had put it, he naturally could not reject him. If he did, it would mean that he had a guilty conscience.
'Di Jue, I hope you won't disappoint me.'
Di Shan thought to himself. With a raise of his hand, he took out a crescent-shaped key that looked like it was made of jade. It shone faintly under the sunlight and looked extremely beautiful.
This key was one of the two keys to open the Dragon Cleansing Pool, the Moon Key.
After receiving the Moon Key from Di Shan, regardless of whether it was Di Shan or Duan Rufeng, both of them swore on the lightning penalty oath.
Di Shan swore on the lightning penalty oath that he had promised Duan Rufeng that if Duan Lingtian could defeat Di Jue five years later, he would allow Duan Lingtian to enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool.
On the other hand, Duan Rufeng swore on the lightning penalty oath that if Duan Lingtian was defeated by Di Jue five years later, he would no longer have any ideas about the Dragon Cleansing Pool. Moreover, he would return the Moon Key to the Dragons.
"Clan Leader Di Shan, we'll meet again in five years."
After both of them swore on the lightning penalty oath, Duan Rufeng glanced at Di Shan indifferently and said.
Then, without waiting for Di Shan's reply, he turned around and left with Ku Mi. In just a blink of an eye, they disappeared before Di Shan and the others' eyes.
"Clan Leader, it's obvious the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion has confidence in his son. Don't you think you're being a little too rash by agreeing to it so hastily?"
Elder Qing Yan, the Five-clawed Green Dragon, asked with a frown.
Xue Chan and the other few Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders were also frowning slightly.
"Now that things have developed to this stage, do you think I can still refuse? Based on Duan Rufeng's attitude earlier, this is already his bottom line! Moreover, Di Jue is the one who understands Duan Rufeng's son the most among us. Even he thinks I should agree to Duan Rufeng's request. Do you think I should refuse? "
Di Shan said nonchalantly.
At once, Xue Chan and the others looked at Di Jue and asked at once, "Di Jue, are you really confident?"
"Di Jue, don't try to look impressive. If you can't do it, just say so. If you lose five years later, not only will you lose a fortuitous encounter, but you'll also become a sinner of the Dragons!"
"Di Jue, this is not a joke!"
…
One by one, the Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders began to criticize Di Jue.
"Elders, I know all of you are worried."
Di Jue looked at Xue Chan and the others. "I've met Duan Rufeng's son, Duan Lingtian. When I last saw him, he was only a Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator. Do you think a Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator will be able to defeat me in five years? Put aside the fact that he's Duan Lingtian and not Duan Rufeng, even if Duan Rufeng's cultivation base was given to his son, his son will still not be a match for me! "
After he finished speaking, Di Jue snorted softly and left.
Although he sounded confident, he did not dare to be negligent.
After all, this was a matter of great importance.
He planned to spend the next five years in closed-door cultivation. Recently, he had noticed that the bottleneck of his cultivation base had loosened. If he could take another step forward, his strength would be on par with a powerhouse like the Five-clawed Purple Dragon, Elder Violet Crystal.
Five years later, he was confident he could defeat the Five-clawed Green Dragon, Elder Qing Yan.
Naturally, this did not mean that Di Jue thought Duan Lingtian would have the strength to threaten him in five years. Instead, he wanted to defeat Duan Lingtian with his most powerful strength so that Duan Rufeng would realize how stupid he was.
Today, although he did not dare to act presumptuously in front of Duan Rufeng, he actually wished he could cut Duan Rufeng into a thousand pieces in his heart.
Naturally, he knew he did not have the strength to do so.
Due to this reason, he could only take revenge on Duan Rufeng and disgust Duan Rufeng through other means.
The battle with Duan Lingtian in five years was undoubtedly an opportunity for him. At that time, he would show his most powerful self and defeat Duan Lingtian in one fell swoop. He would make Duan Rufeng feel despair.
Naturally, Duan Rufeng did not know what Di Jue was thinking.
Naturally, Duan Rufeng was not interested in finding out as well.
After leaving the Dragons, Ku Mi, who was following closely behind Duan Rufeng, could not help but ask in confusion, "Lord Mansion Master, will Young Mansion Master really be able to defeat Di Jue in five years? Although Di Jue hasn't fully grown, he's still a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, the Royal Family among the Dragons. With his current strength, he's comparable to the Five-clawed Divine Dragon Elders who are slightly weaker among the Dragons. "
Based on Ku Mi's words, it was obvious he did not believe his Young Mansion Master would be able to defeat Di Jue in five years' time.
After all, Di Jue's foundation was weak.
Even the current Di Jue was extremely powerful. Even if he did not make any progress in five years' time, his Young Mansion Master might not be a match for him.
"Ku Mi, you're not an outsider so I won't hide it from you."
Duan Rufeng's eyes gleamed as he said unhurriedly, "The reason I made such a request is actually because of The Oracle Man's instructions. In fact, even I don't really believe my son will be able to defeat Di Jue in five years' time. It's just too unrealistic. "
When Duan Rufeng reached the end of his sentence, he sighed softly.
"The Oracle Man?"
Upon hearing Duan Rufeng's words, Ku Mi's eyes lit up immediately.
"Actually, that was the second time I met The Oracle Man. However, that time, he personally came to see me in the Azure Cloud Mansion. His cultivation base is unfathomable. Not only that, but he even appeared in front of me without me noticing. You should know what that means. "
When Duan Rufeng reached the end of his sentence, his expression was solemn.
"He … Don't tell me he's a powerhouse from the Upper Province?"
Ku Mi sucked in a breath of cold air and asked.
"I'm certain he's from the Upper Province. Moreover, I feel that his strength is considered extraordinary even in the Upper Province."
Duan Rufeng continued to say.
"It's said that The Oracle Man is elusive. Leader Dugu of the Mountainshade Black Market had looked for him many times, but it was to no avail. I can't believe you've actually met him twice, Lord Mansion Master. Not only that, but he even took the initiative to visit you the second time as well."
