Zhu Lüqi had heard that Duan Lingtian had killed a genius Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage ten days ago.
However, he did not think Duan Lingtian would be strong enough to kill Yang Chong before Yang Chong found out about his background.
He had only learned that everyone had an Innate Spiritual Root after coming to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. The Innate Spiritual Root represented one's innate talent. The higher one's innate talent, the higher grade one's Innate Spiritual Root would be.
Zhu Lüqi, on the other hand, only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. Due to this reason, he knew his future was bleak.
Initially, he thought with Duan Ling Tian's innate talent, he would at least possess a green Innate Spiritual Root or blue Innate Spiritual Root.
However, things were always unexpected.
When he received news from the Black Turtle Sanctum, he learned that Duan Lingtian also possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root.
It would be difficult for someone with a yellow Innate Spiritual Root to break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage, let alone the Saint Celestial Stage.
Yang Chong, on the other hand, was ranked 146th on the Supreme Saint Ranking. He was at least at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or even the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
How could Duan Lingtian, an ordinary Martial Cultivator with a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, catch up to Yang Chong?
'I wonder how Senior Brother Gu Li is doing now …'
After parting ways with Zhu Lüqi, Duan Lingtian headed north. He bypassed the central altar of the White Tiger Sanctum and headed north to the Vermilion Bird Sanctum.
When he arrived at the Vermilion Bird Sanctum, he asked for directions and went straight to the residence of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples.
"It's just as Senior Brother Liu Mu said … The residence of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples is the same as the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum and the White Tiger Sanctum's disciples."
Duan Lingtian stood in the air and looked at the residence of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples from afar.
The residence of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples was also divided into four levels.
"This senior brother, hello … may I ask if you know Gu Li?"
Duan Lingtian stopped a Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple who was about to leave and asked politely.
"Gu Li? I don't know him! "
The Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple glanced at Duan Lingtian and left without looking back.
"It seems that I won't be able to meet someone as good as Senior Brother Liu Mu everywhere."
When Duan Lingtian saw the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple leaving, he shook his head and withdrew his gaze.
"Excuse me, do you know Gu Li?"
"Senior sister, do you know Gu Li?"
…
Duan Lingtian stopped the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples as they entered and exited the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples' residences.
He had thought about calling out Gu Li's name and calling out Gu Li's name.
However, this was the residence of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples after all. If he shouted out loud, he would offend many Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples. He could just leave, but Gu Li would have to clean up after him.
If he did that, Gu Li's situation in the Vermilion Bird Sanctum would not be good.
Duan Ling Tian did not notice that three Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples were gathered in front of the door of a Ding house. They were chatting happily.
All of a sudden, one of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples raised his head. Duan Lingtian's figure entered his sight. He felt familiar.
"Huh? This person seems familiar … He's a Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple! Look, is he from the same batch of people as us who entered the Four Symbols Sanctums? "
When the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple reached the end of his sentence, he called out to the other two people.
The other two Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples immediately raised their heads and looked at Duan Lingtian.
"This … Isn't this Duan Lingtian?"
One of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples narrowed his eyes. "I remember him … He's the one who killed Yang Wu, the son of the Northern Plethora Sect's fifth elder! Because of that, he offended the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder, Li An. "
"Duan Lingtian!"
After the other Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple confirmed Duan Lingtian's identity, his eyes gleamed as he flew away.
"Where did he go?"
"He must have gone to look for Yuan Kuang."
"Yuan Kuang? I almost forgot. Yuan Kuang's brother has always wanted Duan Lingtian to join our Vermilion Bird Sanctum. For this reason, Duan Lingtian's companion, Gu Li, suffered a lot. "
…
Naturally, Duan Lingtian who was far away did not hear the two Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples whispering to each other.
However, the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple who had left soared into the air and arrived at the door of a Tertius house. He knocked on the door and opened it.
"What's the matter?"
When the door opened, a young man walked out and looked at the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple who was knocking on the door. He frowned and asked impatiently.
"Senior Brother Yuan Kuang, it's Duan Lingtian! Duan Lingtian is here! "
When the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple saw the young man who was also wearing the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple uniform, he pointed at Duan Lingtian in the distance and said excitedly.
"Duan Lingtian?"
When Yuan Kuang heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. He followed the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple's gaze and looked over.
With just a glance, he recognized the person. "It's really him! Why did he come to our Vermilion Bird Sanctum? Could it be that Gu Li, that stubborn person, finally came to his senses and brought him here? "
"It doesn't seem like it."
The Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple at the side shook his head. "Senior Brother Yuan Kuang, it's not like you don't know how stubborn Gu Li is. I think even if we kill him, he might not bring Duan Lingtian here! Based on my guess, this Duan Ling Tian has most likely delivered himself to us. "
"He seems to be stopping people to ask about something. It seems like he really came here to look for Gu Li. Moreover, it seems like he doesn't know which Tertius house Gu Li is staying in."
As Yuan Kuang muttered to himself, his eyes gleamed coldly.
Then, he soared into the air and arrived at the level where the hundreds of Tertius houses were located.
Soon after, he landed in front of one of the Tertius houses.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
As soon as Yuan Kuang raised his hand, he knocked on the door rapidly as though he was not worried the person inside would blame him.
Creak!
After a while, the door opened, revealing a gloomy expression.
However, when the person inside saw Yuan Hong standing at the door, the gloomy expression on his face disappeared and was replaced with a doting expression. "Xiao Kuang, is there anything you need from me?"
The person standing behind the door was also a young man. His features were similar to Yuan Hong's.
"Brother, Duan Lingtian is here."
As Yuan Kuang spoke, he gestured at Duan Lingtian who was standing in the distance.
The young man was Yuan Kuang's biological brother, Yuan Hong.
When he heard Yuan Kuang's words, his eyes lit up immediately. He immediately followed Yuan Kuang's gaze and looked over. "Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple? Xiao Kuang, are you sure he's Duan Lingtian? "
"Brother, don't forget that I was there when he had a Death Duel with Yang Wu. I'm sure he's Duan Lingtian!"
Yuan Kuang said confidently.
"However, I don't think he's here because of that stubborn guy, Gu Li. He's asking around. I'm sure he's asking about Gu Li. I don't think he knows which house Gu Li is staying in."
Yuan Kuang added.
"He actually took the initiative to come here? Good! Very good! "
Yuan Hong looked at Duan Lingtian with a cold gleam in his eyes. A cruel expression could be seen on his face.
"Brother, according to the news from the Black Turtle Sanctum, this Duan Lingtian seems to have mastered two high-grade Divine Abilities. He's only at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage, but his strength is at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage. Moreover, he killed another Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple who was at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage ten days ago!"
Yuan Kuang said, "It's said that the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple is a martial genius who possesses a blue Innate Spiritual Root. He's Elder Li An's direct disciple! If he's still alive, he'll be your Junior Uncle. "
"It's a good thing that master doesn't know about this. Otherwise, he'd definitely be furious!"
Yuan Hong looked at Duan Lingtian in the distance with a grave expression. His eyes gleamed coldly. "It's not easy for Grandmaster to find a suitable direct disciple, but he's killed by this Duan Lingtian. It's obvious this Duan Lingtian wants to fight to the death with Grandmaster!
"Today, I'll properly vent the anger of the Grand Ancestor and properly torture Duan Ling Tian!"
When Yuan Hong reached the end of his sentence, his tone was extremely cold.
"Brother, his strength is not simple."
Yuan Kuang reminded him.
"So what if he's not simple? He's at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage at most. However, I've already broken through to the Early Quintessential Saint Stage a year ago! That little bit of strength of his is nothing in front of me, your brother! "
Yuan Hong said disdainfully while revealing a look of disdain.
Yuan Hong was a Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple. His cultivation base was at the Early Quintessential Saint Stage.
Apart from that, he had another identity.
He was the direct disciple of the first direct disciple of the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder, Li An.
In terms of seniority, Li An was his Grand Master.
Although Li An's first direct disciple possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root, due to his young age, he was only a Bronze Flame Elder in the Saint Land of Zoroastrianism.
With his innate talent of possessing a blue Innate Spiritual Root, he would definitely become a Silver Flame Elder in the future.
It was not impossible for him to become a Golden Flame Elder!
Yuan Hong was very clear about his master's future prospects.
He knew how lucky he was to be able to become his master's disciple since he possessed a green Innate Spiritual Root. Due to this reason, he had always wanted to perform well in front of his master so his master would value him more.
Coincidentally, his younger brother, Yuan Kuang, had also come to the Saint Land of Zoroastrianism. He had used his master's name to ask one of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Silver Flame Elders to allow Yuan Kuang to join the Vermilion Bird Sanctum.
Because of this, he had learned from Yuan Kuang that a new disciple called Duan Lingtian had offended his Grand Master.
At this time, he knew it was time for him to perform.
