"Duan Lingtian is right."
"That's right."
"Whether it's Duan Lingtian or Gu Chun who swears on the lightning penalty oath according to Gu Chun's request, the outcome is enough to prove whether Gu Chun has crippled his Innate Spiritual Root or not!"
"However, based on the current situation, it seems like Gu Chun doesn't dare to swear on the lightning penalty oath according to Duan Lingtian's request!"
"That's right."
…
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, many people began to question Gu Chun.
They could see it.
When Duan Lingtian asked Gu Chun to swear on the lightning penalty oath according to his request, not only did Gu Chun hesitate, but he even accused Duan Lingtian and asked Duan Lingtian to swear on the lightning penalty oath.
From the beginning until the end, it seemed like he was the one who took the initiative to swear on the lightning penalty oath.
However, he was the one who backed out at the most crucial moment.
What else could it be other than having a guilty conscience?
For the thousands of Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples present on the scene, whether it was Duan Lingtian who swore on the lightning penalty oath according to Gu Chun's request or Gu Chun who swore on the lightning penalty oath according to Duan Lingtian's request, the outcome would be the same.
However, since Gu Chun was the one who suggested swearing on the lightning penalty oath, they subconsciously felt it was most appropriate for Gu Chun to swear on the lightning penalty oath according to Duan Lingtian's request.
As soon as the voices that questioned Gu Chun appeared, it was like a river that could not be stopped.
Gu Chun did not expect this at all.
At this moment, he felt as though he had shot himself in the foot.
"Gu Chun, did you hear that? All our senior brothers and junior sisters think it's most appropriate for you to swear on the lightning penalty oath. As long as you swear on the lightning penalty oath, everyone will know the truth. At that time, if you're not killed by the lightning penalty, we'll know that you're not lying and that I'm the one who crippled your Innate Spiritual Root! "
At the same time, Duan Lingtian looked at Gu Chun mockingly.
The feeling of being able to turn the tables on Gu Chun was something he had never felt before.
Gu Chun, don't you want to swear on the lightning penalty oath?
Stand!
Why don't you do it!
When Gu Chun heard the words of the group of Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples and how Duan Ling Tian had turned the tables on him, his face turned pale. His heart was in a mess.
Although he really wanted Duan Lingtian to die at the hands of his Master, Li An, he had no choice but to kill Duan Lingtian.
However, he did not know if Duan Lingtian had destroyed his Innate Spiritual Root.
After all, he was not a hundred percent sure that it was not Duan Lingtian who had destroyed his Innate Spiritual Root!
In this bizarre world, things were happening at every moment, and there was no lack of unexplainable things.
Perhaps, the disappearance of his Innate Spiritual Root was just a coincidence and had nothing to do with Duan Lingtian …
If that was the case, and he swore on the lightning penalty oath, he would definitely die!
Although he no longer had his Innate Spiritual Root and would most likely be stuck in the same spot in the future, it did not mean that he no longer cherished his life.
So much so that he cherished his life more than ever.
This was because he could no longer raise his cultivation base, and his lifespan had been fixed. He could no longer prolong his life by raising his cultivation base.
In other words, every day he lived was equivalent to having one less day!
For this reason, he did not dare to swear on the lightning penalty oath as Duan Lingtian had requested. He was afraid of dying. What if the disappearance of his Innate Spiritual Root had nothing to do with Duan Lingtian?
If that was the case, would he not die in vain?
"Gu Chun is really feeling guilty."
"Tsk tsk … It seems like he's the one who's slandering Duan Lingtian from the beginning. Duan Lingtian did not destroy his Innate Spiritual Root at all!"
"To think that I almost believed him!"
…
The Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples present on the scene whispered among themselves again. When Gu Chun heard their words, his expression turned pale. He was rendered speechless.
"Didn't you say that Duan Lingtian was the one who destroyed your Innate Spiritual Root? Why are you the one who's afraid at such a critical moment? "
Li An's expression turned grave when he saw Gu Chun had messed up the situation again. He looked at Gu Chun and said through Voice Transmission, "Don't you think a 90% chance of success is worth a gamble? Perhaps, Duan Lingtian is just putting on an act to scare you so you don't dare to swear on the lightning penalty oath? If you're right, Duan Lingtian will be finished! "
Li An's words were filled with persuasion and temptation.
A 90% chance of success!
He would take the gamble!
If he won, he would live, and Duan Lingtian would die!
Gu Chun's eyes lit up when he heard Li An's words. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
However, when Gu Chun had made up his mind and was about to swear on the lightning penalty oath as he looked at Duan Lingtian with an indomitable spirit, Duan Lingtian suddenly spoke.
Duan Ling Tian was the first to speak. He said lazily, "How boring! Gu Chun, if you think you're at a disadvantage by swearing on the lightning penalty oath, I'll swear on the lightning penalty oath at the same time as you. What do you think? You should be willing to do that, right? "
Boom!
Gu Chun who had made up his mind felt as though he was struck by lightning when he heard Duan Lingtian's words.
He swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
Duan Lingtian's confidence and Duan Lingtian's indifference had completely destroyed the confidence he had built up with great difficulty.
In his opinion, if Duan Lingtian destroyed his Innate Spiritual Root, Duan Lingtian would definitely swear on the lightning penalty oath.
It was impossible for Duan Lingtian to swear on the lightning penalty oath at the same time as him, let alone take the initiative to do so.
However, Duan Lingtian had taken the initiative to do so because he was not afraid of Duan Lingtian.
Gu Chun's confidence was instantly shattered.
"He must have sensed that you're going to burn your boats so he chose to make the first move to gain the upper hand. Agree to swear on the lightning penalty oath with him! "
Li An reminded Gu Chun when he saw through the situation.
However, the confidence that Gu Chun had painstakingly built up was already shattered. How could he possibly listen to Li An?
He felt Li An was using him to make a bet.
If he won, Duan Lingtian would die!
If he lost, Li An would not lose anything.
With this thought in mind, how could he possibly agree to Duan Lingtian's request?
"Yes! You didn't destroy my Innate Spiritual Root! You didn't destroy it! I was careless when I was cultivating. I don't know how I destroyed it! "
Gu Chun's heart trembled when he looked at Duan Ling Tian again, and he hastily said.
Whoosh!
Gu Chun's words caused an uproar among the crowd. They did not expect the truth would be revealed.
"As expected, Gu Chun is slandering Duan Lingtian!"
"Humph! I've long seen that Gu Chun isn't a good person! "
"He's really tricked Elder Li An this time."
…
Several thousands of Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples whispered among themselves. The crowd was in an uproar.
Some people felt Gu Chun had slandered Duan Lingtian under Li An's instructions.
However, they only dared to think about it in their hearts.
Duan Lingtian smiled. He knew his plan of retreating by advancing had worked.
Earlier, he had wanted to swear on the lightning penalty oath with Gu Chun because he had been paying attention to Gu Chun's expression from the beginning until the end.
When he saw the determination on Gu Chun's face as though he had made a decision, he knew Gu Chun was going to burn his boats.
He really did not dare to swear on the lightning penalty oath with Gu Chun.
This was because he was the one who destroyed Gu Chun's Innate Spiritual Root.
To be more precise, he was the one who swallowed it.
When Duan Lingtian heard Gu Chun's words, he sighed in relief. At the same time, he realized he had made the right bet. He had become the final winner.
Li An's expression turned grave when he heard Gu Chun's words.
When he heard Gu Chun's words, he knew there was no way he would be able to win.
His plan of using this opportunity to get rid of Duan Ling Tian had gone down the drain due to the presence of Gu Chun, this pig of a teammate.
"Humph!"
Li An glanced at Gu Chun coldly and snorted before he turned around and left. From the beginning until the end, he did not speak to Gu Chun at all. It was obvious he was furious.
"Gu Chun, next time, if you want to slander me with your master, you better come up with a good excuse. Your excuse this time is too lousy. It's full of flaws!"
Duan Ling Tian who was the final winner was in high spirits. After he finished speaking to Gu Chun, he turned around and descended from the sky to return to his Tertius house.
Gu Chun was so angry that his body trembled when he saw Duan Lingtian's silhouette disappearing before his eyes. His eyes were wide open as he gritted his teeth.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his fingertips dug deep into his palms. Although he was bleeding profusely, he did not seem to feel anything.
The thousands of mocking gazes that were trained on him almost drove him mad.
"Duan Lingtian! Duan Lingtian! As long as my cousin comes, you'll definitely die! You'll definitely die! "
Gu Chun knew he was no match for Duan Lingtian now that his Innate Spiritual Root had been destroyed. Since he could not seek revenge himself, he placed all his hopes on his cousin who was about to arrive.
Right now, he saw his cousin as his last hope!
Subsequently, it was peaceful for a month.
After a month, an uninvited guest appeared outside the Black Turtle Sanctum of Zoroastrianism.
It was a travel-worn middle-aged man. As soon as he appeared, he was immediately stopped by a patrol team led by a Bronze Flame Elder from the Black Turtle Sanctum.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Black Turtle Sanctum of Zoroastrianism!"
The Bronze Flame Elder shouted in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man was tall and had an ordinary appearance. He carried a long saber on his back. As he stood there, he looked like a towering iron tower.
"My name is Gu Long. I'm here to join the Zoroastrianism."
The middle-aged man's expression did not change even when he was faced with the Bronze Flame Elder.
Then, the Bronze Flame Elder took out a Spiritual Pearl that could be used to test one's Innate Spiritual Root.
After the test, it was determined the middle-aged man possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root.
