At this moment, Duan Lingtian did not look like his original appearance.
In order to meet Zhao Deng, he had disguised himself as Ling Tian.
"Something's not right?"
Upon hearing Zhao Deng's words, Duan Lingtian said nonchalantly, "Do you think I'm not Duan Lingtian because there are no traces of disguise on my face?"
Before Zhao Deng could reply, he saw the muscles on Ling Tian's face twitching.
Soon after, a brand new face appeared before his eyes!
If he did not see it with his own eyes, he would not have believed such a miraculous Disguise Technique existed in this world.
It was clearly a disguise, but his Divine Consciousness could not detect any traces of disguise at all!
"You … You're Duan Lingtian!"
After recovering from his shock, Zhao Deng studied Duan Lingtian for a while before he discovered Duan Lingtian's appearance was exactly the same as the person in the portrait he had seen a few years ago.
The person in the portrait at that time was none other than Duan Lingtian who had obtained the Devilseal Tablet!
"That's right. I'm Duan Lingtian. Vice Mansion Master Zhao, do you believe that I was the one who killed your son? "
Duan Lingtian asked mockingly.
Zhao Deng's expression turned grave. When he saw Duan Lingtian's true appearance, he knew everything Duan Lingtian had said was true.
His son was indeed killed by Duan Lingtian!
To be more precise, Duan Lingtian had killed his son by activating the Devilseal Tablet!
He still remembered his son's death was caused by his soul being destroyed. There were no traces of external injuries on his body at all.
The Devilseal Tablet had directly destroyed the Devil Cultivator's soul when it killed him!
All of his doubts were cleared up.
He had finally found his son's murderer!
"Ling Tian … No, I should call you Duan Lingtian!"
Apart from hatred, Zhao Deng's eyes were filled with greed for the Devilseal Tablet when he looked at Duan Lingtian. "Thank you for telling me that you're the one who killed my son. If that's the case, I'll give you a quick death!"
Just as Zhao Deng finished his sentence, the power that he had been accumulating suddenly surged. He moved and was about to charge at Duan Lingtian.
There was only one thought left in Zhao Deng's mind.
Kill Duan Lingtian, avenge his son, and seize the Devilseal Tombstone!
The Devilseal Tablet was one of the ten Super Saint Artifacts on the Ten Great Saint Artifact Ranking. It was something that everyone dreamed of obtaining. Naturally, Zhao Deng was tempted by it.
At this moment, Zhao Deng had completely forgotten that he was in the Azure Cloud Mansion!
He had never wondered why Duan Lingtian dared to reveal his true face in front of him and admit to killing his son.
At this moment, Zhao Deng had completely lost himself due to his desire for revenge and greed.
"How dare you!"
Just as Zhao Deng's body was leaning forward slightly, a thunderous voice reverberated in the Main Hall. It was deafening.
One could vaguely hear the voice belonged to an old man.
Whoosh!
At the same time, a ghostly figure blocked Zhao Deng's path.
Bang!
He did not seem to have made any movements, but Zhao Deng who was charging out with the force of wind and thunder was casually sent flying away. He fell on the ground in a wretched state.
"Barf!"
Zhao Deng was in a daze from the fall. He opened his mouth and threw up a mouthful of blood. He struggled to stand up, but due to his severe injuries, he could not stand up.
When he opened his eyes and looked ahead, he saw an old figure standing in front of Duan Lingtian to protect him.
"Rong Yuan!"
Horror dawned on Zhao Deng when he saw the old man standing in front of Duan Lingtian.
Rong Yuan was one of the right-hand men of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. He was as famous as Ku Mi.
In the entire Mystical Sky Mansion, his strength was only inferior to the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion.
He was even more powerful than the two great Guardians of Mystical Sky Mansion!
"Young Mansion Master!"
However, when Zhao Deng saw Rong Yuan turning around and bowing respectfully at Duan Lingtian, his eyes widened in shock.
Young Mansion Master?
Only the son of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion could be addressed as Young Mansion Master by Rong Yuan, right?
However, he had never heard that the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion had a son!
Moreover, this person was the murderer of his son!
"Duan Lingtian … Duan Rufeng … Both of them have the surname Duan …"
When Zhao Deng regained his senses, he muttered the names of Duan Lingtian and Duan Rufeng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. Soon after, he realized they had the same surname. His heart sank again. "Don't tell me this Duan Lingtian is really the son of Duan Rufeng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?!
That's not right! If he's the son of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, why would he disguise himself as Ling Tian and come to our Mystical Sky Mansion?
Don't tell me it's because of the Saint Martial Secret Zone? "
…
Zhao Deng could not figure it out.
Not even in his wildest dreams did he expect the lad whom his Zhao Clan wanted to kill so badly was actually the son of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion!
"Elder Rong."
Duan Lingtian smiled in response to Rong Yuan's greeting. He did not dare to slight this old man who had been by his cheapskate father's side for many years.
As for the misunderstanding previously, after his father explained it to him, he knew he had misunderstood the old man.
Rong Yuan had indeed passed the exquisite jade box to his father, and it was his father who asked Rong Yuan to tell the Black Armored Guard that he was a swindler … The reason his father did that was mainly for the sake of probing his cultivation!
Since they had buried the hatchet, there was no longer any misunderstanding between him and Rong Yuan.
"Young Mansion Master, how should we deal with this person?"
Faced with Duan Lingtian, Rong Yuan was extremely humble. It was as though he treated Duan Lingtian as his most respected Mansion Master, Duan Rufeng.
Love me, love my dog!
"Restrain him first. Leave the rest to me."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Yes!"
Rong Yuan nodded respectfully before he turned around. With a raise of his hand, he restrained Zhao Deng who was trying to escape.
The energy that belonged to an Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse transformed into an invisible energy and entered Zhao Deng's body, completely suppressing his strength.
Zhao Deng instantly fell to the ground with a pale face. He had turned into an ordinary person in just a short time.
Duan Lingtian strode forward and stood in front of Zhao Deng. He looked down at Zhao Deng who was lying on the ground and clicked his tongue as he asked, "Vice Mansion Master Zhao, are you alright?"
Various expressions appeared on Zhao Deng's face as he lay on the ground.
The hatred and greed in his eyes had disappeared at this moment and were replaced by panic and despair.
His son's death and the Devilseal Tablet had all been tossed to the back of his mind at this moment.
Currently, the most precious thing to him was undoubtedly his life!
Only when he was alive would he be able to think about other things.
If he was dead, he would lose everything!
"Young Mansion Master!"
At this moment, along with a respectful cry, a scene that exceeded Duan Lingtian's expectations appeared.
Zhao Deng who was temporarily reduced to an ordinary person after his strength was restrained by Rong Yuan, fell to his knees in front of Duan Lingtian after rolling on the ground.
"Young Mansion Master, Zhao Deng didn't know your identity beforehand. Please forgive me for offending you. Please spare my worthless life, Young Mansion Master. I promise I won't offend you again in the future! If you don't believe me, I'm willing to swear on the lightning penalty oath! "
At this moment, Zhao Deng had abandoned his dignity as the Vice Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion.
There was only one thought left in his mind.
'Survive!
I must find a way to survive! '
This was because he had not lived long enough. He did not want to die yet!
"As expected of father and son. You're indeed jackals of the same tribe. Zhao Deng, the way you're wagging your tail and begging for mercy is very similar to how your son looked before he died. He had also begged for mercy before."
If Zhao Deng had a little backbone, perhaps, Duan Lingtian would have respected him a little.
However, the way Zhao Deng was wagging his tail and begging for mercy made him feel disgusted.
Zhao Deng had heard Duan Lingtian's words.
Although he was infuriated, he did not dare to show it on his face. He was as humble as he could be.
"Young Mansion Master, if you're willing to spare me, I'm willing to swear on the lightning penalty oath to be your dog. From today onward, I'll bite wherever you point at without any hesitation!"
Zhao Deng's humility made Duan Lingtian frown.
Was this really the Vice Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion?
Gu Li who had been standing quietly at the side all this while also looked at Zhao Deng. He could not help but scold, "Zhao Deng, you're not worthy to be the Vice Mansion Master of our Mystical Sky Mansion. You've already embarrassed our Mystical Sky Mansion!"
However, Zhao Deng acted as though he did not hear Gu Li's scolding. He looked at Duan Lingtian pleadingly.
At this moment, the only thing left in his mind was the desire to live.
He did not care about anything else.
At this moment, even Rong Yuan was frowning.
It was obvious he was disgusted by Zhao Deng's cowardice.
"Young Mansion Master, I beg of you, please spare me this time!"
Zhao Deng continued to beg for mercy.
"Elder Rong, I don't want to see him again."
A hint of disgust flashed in the depth of Duan Lingtian's eyes. He did not want to see Zhao Deng acting like this.
No matter what, he's the Vice Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion. I really have to hand it to him for being so cowardly in the face of death! "
"No!"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Zhao Deng's eyes widened. Horror dawned on his face as he rolled and struggled on the ground.
With his strength sealed, he was destined to be a fish waiting to be slaughtered.
After killing Zhao Deng, Rong Yuan also retreated from the Central Main Hall.
"Senior Uncle."
Tong Zhong, the Centurion of the Black Armored Army, had been standing outside the Central Main Hall since a long time ago. When he saw Rong Yuan retreating, he immediately bowed at him respectfully.
Tong Zhong's master was Ku Mi who was as famous as Rong Yuan in the Azure Cloud Mansion!
Although Rong Yuan and Ku Mi were not Senior Brothers, they had long regarded each other as brothers since they had been good friends for many years.
For this reason, Rong Yuan's disciples would usually address Ku Mi as Junior Uncle.
Ku Mi's disciples, on the other hand, would address Rong Yuan as Senior Uncle.
In terms of age, Rong Yuan was slightly older than Ku Mi.
After Rong Yuan retreated, only Duan Lingtian and Gu Li were left in the Central Main Hall. Both of them looked at each other and smiled wryly.
"Senior Brother Gu Li."
In the end, it was Duan Lingtian who broke the silence. "I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the Upper Province in the near future. I think I'll have to wait for another year or so before I can go to the Upper Province."
