Zi Yun was Tian Wu's master. She was also his senior.
The reason Zi Yun was heavily injured was because she had helped Duan Lingtian's senior brother out of the predicament for Tian Wu.
Due to this reason, Duan Lingtian owed Zi Yun a favor.
"So what if I am?"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Zhu Mu Ci smirked. He looked as though he was certain he had Duan Lingtian under his control. "Although you're not related to Duan Lingtian, you shouldn't have coveted the Devilseal Tablet. In fact, the Devilseal Tablet is something that our Master Yun is determined to obtain!
In terms of strength, Master Yun is a powerhouse at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage. You're no match for him at all. In terms of the force behind him, Master Yun is from the quasi third-rate force, the Azure Cloud Mansion. In the Dobusei Subterranean, a quasi third-rate force is the top first-rate force. It's not something the force behind you can compare to! "
When Zhu Mu Ci reached the end of his sentence, his eyes were filled with disdain as he looked at Duan Lingtian. "It's important to know one's own strength. You might be strong, but you're still lacking if you want to get your hands on the Devilseal Tablet."
Zhu Mu Ci had heard about Duan Lingtian's objective before he came here.
Naturally, what he knew was made up by Duan Lingtian.
"A quasi third-rate force, the Azure Cloud Mansion?"
Upon hearing Zhu Mu Ci's words, Duan Lingtian could not help but be stunned. Then, he began to size up the middle-aged man, Master Yun, next to Zhu Mu Ci. "You're from a quasi third-rate force?"
"Hurmph!"
Faced with Duan Lingtian's question, the middle-aged man raised his head proudly and looked down at Duan Lingtian condescendingly. "I'm Yun Kun, a disciple of the Azure Cloud Mansion."
Yun Kun's tone was filled with arrogance.
This was his pride as a disciple of a quasi third-rate force, the Azure Cloud Mansion.
If it was the Azure Cloud Mansion in the past, although it was also a quasi third-rate force, its deterrence in the Dobusei Subterranean was limited.
After all, there was still a certain distance between quasi third-rate forces.
In the past, the Azure Cloud Mansion could only be considered as the weakest among quasi third-rate forces.
However, ever since the Azure Cloud Mansion had a new Mansion Master, it began to prosper. Currently, it had even become a giant in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
At this moment, Yun Kun, naturally, did not expect the young man standing in front of him was none other than the Young Mansion Master of their Azure Cloud Mansion.
He was also the only son of Duan Rufeng, the Mansion Master who was revered by everyone in the Azure Cloud Mansion.
It was all because of Duan Rufeng that the Azure Cloud Mansion was able to achieve its current status in the Dobusei Subterranean.
If Yun Kun knew Duan Lingtian's true identity, he would have been scared out of his wits.
In fact, in the eyes of the Azure Cloud Mansion's disciples, Duan Rufeng was a god-like existence. He was supreme and inviolable.
However, Yun Kun was unaware of Duan Lingtian's identity. Similarly, Duan Lingtian was unaware of his own identity as well.
Although he knew his father was in the Dao Martial Saint Land and had recruited some powerhouses, it did not cross his mind that his father was the leader of a quasi third-rate force in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Moreover, his father was the Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion that had risen to prominence in recent years.
In the Dobusei Subterranean, the only quasi third-rate force that could contend with the Azure Cloud Mansion was the Mountainshade Black Market.
Even the quasi third-rate force, the Mystical Sky Mansion, that Duan Lingtian planned to join, was slightly weaker in comparison.
Naturally, the difference was not that big.
Perhaps, the Azure Cloud Mansion could annihilate the Mystical Sky Mansion if they fought.
However, in this battle, the Azure Cloud Mansion would definitely lose more than 80% of their strength. Due to this reason, even the Azure Cloud Mansion would not rashly provoke the Mystical Sky Mansion. If they really fought, the result would be a loss of 800 of their own men.
Even if they managed to annihilate the Mystical Sky Mansion, the Azure Cloud Mansion whose strength was greatly reduced would still fall.
As the saying went, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.' Put aside the other quasi third-rate forces, as the archenemy of the Azure Cloud Mansion, the Mountainshade Black Market would definitely not let go of any opportunity to strike the Azure Cloud Mansion when it was down.
Naturally, it was a little far-fetched to talk about this now.
"Don't tell me you think you're the only disciple from a quasi third-rate force?"
Duan Lingtian glanced at Yun Kun indifferently and smirked.
The moment Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, not only was Yun Kun stunned, but even Zhu Mu Ci, Zhu Yuan, and Zhu Lie were stunned as well.
Could it be that this ordinary-looking young man with extraordinary strength was also a disciple from a quasi third-rate force?
"You're a disciple from a quasi third-rate force as well?"
Yun Kun raised an eyebrow and asked nonchalantly. Although he was polite, he could not hide his arrogance.
The Azure Cloud Mansion was an outstanding quasi third-rate force. Unless they were the juniors of some high-ranking officials in the quasi third-rate forces, he did not take any disciples from other quasi third-rate forces seriously.
"So what if I am? So what if I'm not?"
The sneer on Duan Lingtian's face deepened as a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.
"How dare you trick Master Yun!"
Zhu Mu Ci was the first to regain his senses when he saw the mockery in Duan Lingtian's eyes. He looked at Duan Lingtian as though he was looking at a monster.
He did not expect this fellow to be so daring. After finding out Yun Kun was a disciple from a quasi third-rate force, the Azure Cloud Mansion, he still dared to tease and provoke Yun Kun.
Was he really not afraid of death?
Or did he think he was a match for Yun Kun?
Although Zhu Mu Ci was filled with righteous indignation, a hint of schadenfreude could be seen in his eyes. He was happy to see this scene unfold before his eyes.
As for Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie, they were also rejoicing in Duan Lingtian's misfortune when they looked at him.
The young man in front of them was so powerful that their Windfall Nation's Imperial Family could not do anything to him at all.
However, they were unwilling to let him go just like that. No matter what, he had killed more than ten people from the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family. They could not wait to kill him.
"I-Isn't this Junior Brother?"
At the same time, Bai Li Hong finally regained his senses.
When Duan Lingtian appeared and spoke in a hoarse voice, he could tell it was the voice of the powerhouse who was hiding in the dark.
Initially, he thought Duan Lingtian had found a helper. It did not cross his mind that it was Duan Lingtian himself.
"It has only been slightly more than a year, but Junior Brother's strength has already risen to such a level? No matter what, Huo Jin was at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage, but he was instantly killed by him. How did his cultivation base rise in this one year? "
When Bai Li Hong realized his Junior Brother's strength had already reached the Refined Saint Stage after more than a year, he felt as though he was struck by lightning.
However, he regained his senses quickly this time.
"Brat, you're seeking death!"
The thing that caused Bai Li Hong to regain his senses was Yun Kun's angry shout.
At this moment, Yun Kun finally regained his senses. When he regained his senses, he was, naturally, furious. He could not suppress his anger at all. His robe fluttered, and the aura of a powerhouse at the peak of the Refined Saint Stage was completely released.
In an instant, with him as the center, the space within a hundred meters of him shook. Wave-like ripples spread out, like a stone falling into a calm lake, setting off waves of ripples.
Yun Kun's Territory quickly consolidated.
When the three men from the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family and the Zhu Clan saw this, a cruel smile appeared on their faces.
In their opinion, since Yun Kun had made his move, this young man would definitely die!
"Junior Brother!"
Bai Li Hong's expression changed drastically as uneasiness rose in his heart. At this moment, he had completely forgotten that he was here to be the bait under Duan Lingtian's instructions.
If Duan Lingtian was not confident, would he have asked him to do this?
Naturally, the reason Bai Li Hong did not think of this was because he was concerned about Duan Ling Tian. As the saying went, 'The more concerned one is, the more confused one becomes.' This was exactly what Bai Li Hong meant.
Faced with Yun Kun who had consolidated his Territory, a sword suddenly appeared in Duan Lingtian's hand. It was a sword that looked very ordinary and plain.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed.
At this moment, the Sun True Origin in his body began to stir. It flowed through his 99 Saint Veins and gathered in his hand that was holding the sword in just a blink of an eye. It continued to surge into the sword, causing the originally plain sword to emit a dazzling golden radiance.
Whoosh!
The radiance grew brighter and brighter. In the end, it looked like a blazing sun hanging in the sky.
"It's that sword!"
The sword in Duan Lingtian's hand was the Jasper Celestial Sword. Apart from him, Bai Li Hong could also recognize it.
Even Bai Li Hong did not know why, but when he saw the sword in Duan Ling Tian's hand, the restlessness in his heart was strangely suppressed. He calmed down as well.
After he calmed down, he recalled the reason he was here.
"Junior Brother … Is he confident he can defeat Yun Kun?"
Although Bai Li Hong also felt that it was somewhat inconceivable, a trace of longing rose in his heart.
Bai Li Hong's eyes were completely focused on the sword in Duan Lingtian's hand. Although the sword was shrouded in a dazzling golden radiance, one could still see its outline.
Bai Li Hong still remembered the first time he saw this sword. It was in the Moon Illumination Sect.
He would never forget the scene that happened at that time.
His junior brother used this sword with his cultivation base at the Saint Rudiment Stage and killed a Pristine Saint Stage Supreme Elder from the Moon Illumination Sect with just one slash.
More than a year ago, during the battle between Duan Lingtian and Lin Dong from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion's Lin Clan, although he did not see it clearly, he was certain it had something to do with this sword.
"You don't even need to use your Territory, and you want to fight me, Yun Kun, with just a lousy sword? You're seeking death! "
After Yun Kun's Territory was formed, he noticed Duan Ling Tian had only taken out a sword and did not have any intention of forming a Territory. He could not help but have a mocking expression on his face as he sneered.
"Why would I need a Territory to kill you?"
Duan Lingtian said indifferently in the face of Yun Kun's mockery. Based on his words, it was as though he was certain Yun Kun would win.
Duan Lingtian's words entered Yun Kun's ears. When Yun Kun saw Duan Lingtian's indifference, it was undoubtedly a blatant provocation.
"You're seeking death!"
