"I, Yang Chong, the Fifth Elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, am a man of my word!"
When Yang Chong reached the end of his sentence, his eyes were filled with killing intent.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Duan Lingtian deeply before he sneered. Then, he turned around and left.
It was just as he had said.
If Duan Lingtian was a disciple of Zoroastrianism with good innate talent, he would not dare to threaten Duan Lingtian with his friends and family. After all, the Zoroastrianism Sect would be displeased if he did that.
However, Duan Lingtian was only an ordinary disciple of Zoroastrianism who possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root.
Even if such a disciple of Zoroastrianism was threatened by an ordinary person, the Zoroastrianism Sect would not stand up for him. Moreover, the person who threatened him was the Fifth Elder of the first-rate force, the Northern Plethora Sect!
"Hurmph!"
After Yang Chong left, Li An glanced at Duan Lingtian coldly before he chased after Yang Chong.
However, he did not say anything at this moment.
He did not dare to say anything else.
Even if he was the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder, he could not bear such a crime of colluding with outsiders to bully a disciple of his sect.
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, well done!"
After Li An left with Yang Chong, the crowd burst into an uproar. Many people even gave Duan Lingtian a thumbs up.
Duan Lingtian's outburst earlier had made them feel proud.
Naturally, some of the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples did not say anything. They merely looked at Duan Lingtian worriedly.
They noticed Duan Lingtian's expression had turned grave at this moment.
At this moment, they realized Yang Chong's threat to Duan Lingtian had worked!
"It seems like Senior Brother Duan Lingtian is not alone! If he's alone, he won't be bothered by Yang Chong's threat to his friends and family. But now … "
"Yang Chong's threat is indeed unsolvable … Even if Senior Duan Lingtian is highly talented and highly regarded by Zoroastrianism, Yang Chong wouldn't dare to threaten Senior Duan Lingtian openly with his friends and family, but he would definitely do it in secret!"
"If Senior Brother Duan Lingtian has friends and family, Yang Chong's threat is indeed 'unsolvable'."
"Ruthless! Too ruthless! "
"As the saying goes, one should not implicate one's family... That Yang Chong is really too much!"
…
The group of Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples whispered among themselves. When they looked at Duan Lingtian again, a hint of pity could be seen in their eyes.
In their opinion.
If the Duan Lingtian really had friends and family, and Yang Chong was determined to mess with them … then for the Duan Lingtian, for the Duan Lingtian's friends and family, it was really a bit of a mystery!
Duan Lingtian hovered in the air in the distance. His body did not move at all, but his expression changed again and again.
At this moment, the words Yang Chong had said before he left were still echoing in his ears.
"Yes! As long as Duan Lingtian hides in Zoroastrianism, I, Yang Chong, won't be able to touch you. However, can you guarantee that your friends and family have a backer that I, Yang Chong, am afraid of?
I believe with the Northern Plethora Sect's intelligence network, my strength, and my methods, it won't be difficult for me to investigate your background.
Unfortunately, you didn't commit suicide within the time I gave you. You gave up the chance to protect your friends and family. I really feel sorry for them for having a friend like you!
Duan Lingtian, even if you hide in Zoroastrianism forever, I'll let you experience the pain of losing your friends and family! "
…
He knew very well that Yang Chong was not joking.
After a while, Duan Lingtian finally regained his senses. Under the watchful eyes of the others, he returned to his Secundus house and disappeared before the eyes of the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples.
At this moment, the group of Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples finally dispersed.
However, the topic of discussion still revolved around Duan Lingtian and Yang Chong's threat to Duan Lingtian.
As the Fifth Elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, Yang Chong indeed had the ability to take revenge on Duan Lingtian's friends and family!
There was no doubt about this.
"Serves him right!"
In the distance, at the entrance of another Secundus house, Zhang Ji leaned against the door as his body trembled. Although his entire body was still in pain, his heart was filled with joy when he saw Duan Ling Tian being threatened by Yang Chong.
Duan Ling Tian had defeated him in public today, and it could be said that he had lost all face!
After today's battle, he had already regarded Duan Lingtian as his mortal enemy. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely not let Duan Lingtian live in this world!
He believed with his dark green Innate Spiritual Root, it would be easy for him to surpass Duan Lingtian who possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root.
He could imagine the expression on Zhang Ji's face when he found out Duan Lingtian possessed the same dark green Innate Spiritual Root as him.
After returning to his room, Duan Lingtian's expression was still as grave as ever.
However, as time passed by, he gradually calmed down.
"Yang Chong, you're despicable!"
After taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of foul air.
At the same time, a murderous aura surged out of his body, causing the temperature in the surroundings to drop a few degrees.
Duan Lingtian was truly enraged!
He did not expect Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, a first-rate force in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, would dare to threaten Duan Lingtian's family and friends in front of so many people!
At this moment, Duan Lingtian was filled with anger. However, he had nowhere to vent it.
'However, it won't be easy for Yang Chong to find out about me, Duan Lingtian! After all, I'm not from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land! '
The moment Duan Lingtian thought of this, he sighed in relief.
Naturally, this was only temporary.
Although he was not from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, many people in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land had heard of his name since he possessed the Devilseal Tablet. Moreover, many people even had a portrait of him.
'It's a good thing I'm not using my true appearance now!'
When Duan Lingtian thought about how he had disguised himself, he felt that he had great foresight.
Naturally, this did not mean that Yang Chong would not be able to find out about his whereabouts in the Dobusei Subterranean. It did not mean that Yang Chong would not be able to find out that he was the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion, a quasi third-rate force in the Dobusei Subterranean!
With Yang Chong's status, he would be able to find out about him sooner or later if he really wanted to. It was just a matter of time.
One could imagine that once Yang Chong found out about his background, the Azure Cloud Mansion in the Dobusei Subterranean would definitely turn into a bloodbath!
Not only that, but his father, his mother, his wife, and everyone he cared about would be killed as well.
All of them would die without a burial place!
The moment Duan Lingtian thought of this, he shuddered in fear. His emotions that he had finally calmed down with great difficulty became agitated again.
'The most important thing now is to deal with the current hidden danger. I must deal with any hidden danger that might expose my background!'
After forcing himself to calm down again, Duan Lingtian immediately contacted Huo Lao and asked in a hurried and anxious tone, "Huo Lao, do you have any Secret Tactic or something that can resist the Soul Searching Secret Tactic?"
The Soul Searching Secret Tactic was what Duan Lingtian was most worried about at this moment.
If he was not careful and allowed Yang Chong or Li An to find an opportunity to capture him and use the Soul Searching Secret Tactic on him, his background would be exposed from his own mouth!
This was something he did not want to see.
However, it was impossible to guard against this.
For this reason, he could only look for Huo Lao.
It did not matter if Huo Lao had a method to resist the Soul Searching Secret Tactic or not. He could only treat this as a last resort since he had no other choice!
As Duan Lingtian asked Huo Lao, his heart was filled with anxiety.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Huo Lao's reply, Duan Lingtian's heart finally calmed down. At the same time, a wild joy could be seen on his face.
Following that, Elder Huo's voice resonated again. "However, in order for that Secret Tactic to have the effect it should have, a certain amount of Spiritual Energy must be constantly consumed to maintain its operation. After three days of stopping its operation, the effect that it gives to the soul to resist the Soul Searching Secret Tactic will disappear! The Secret Tactic does not have a high requirement on the caster. It only requires Spiritual Energy at the Divine Saint Stage or above to cast it. "
"Constantly consume a certain amount of Spiritual Energy to maintain its operation?"
In Duan Lingtian's opinion, as long as it could save his friends and family from danger for a short period of time, it was not a problem at all.
"After it stops operating, the effect will only last for three days at most?"
It was more than enough.
Even if Li An and Yang Chong wanted to use the Soul Searching Secret Tactic on him, they would definitely end it quickly and would not drag it out for so long.
After all, they did not dare to be discovered.
This was especially true for Li An.
If someone discovered that he had used the Soul Searching Secret Tactic on his disciples for no reason, he would definitely be severely punished by the Zoroastrianism. He might even be expelled from the Zoroastrianism!
"Huo Lao, quickly teach me that Secret Tactic!"
Duan Lingtian said to Huo Lao impatiently.
He desperately wanted to obtain that Secret Tactic!
To him, it was a life-saving talisman for his friends and family in the Lower Province.
As though he could sense Duan Lingtian's impatience, Huo Lao instantly transformed the Secret Tactic into a stream of information that entered Duan Lingtian's mind so that Duan Lingtian could master it himself.
Just as Huo Lao had said, the Secret Tactic did not have a high requirement on the caster. It only required one's Spiritual Energy at the Divine Saint Stage or above to cast it.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian only spent 15 minutes to successfully cast it to protect his soul from the Soul Searching Secret Tactic.
"The continuous consumption of my Spiritual Energy is still within an acceptable range."
Duan Lingtian sighed in relief when he sensed that the consumption of his Spiritual Energy was not high and would not affect his daily life.
"Now, it's time for me to look for Senior Brother Gu Li and Palace Master Zhu. I must ask them to cast this Secret Tactic at all times! Otherwise, if Li An and Yang Chong used the Soul-Searching Secret Technique on them, my background would be exposed as well!
