After devouring Yuan Hong's Innate Spiritual Root, Duan Lingtian's Innate Spiritual Root had transformed into a blue Innate Spiritual Root.
However, there were no obvious changes to his Innate Spiritual Root after he devoured Yuan Kuang's Innate Spiritual Root.
Duan Lingtian was not surprised by this.
Although Yuan Kuang's Innate Spiritual Root was also a green Innate Spiritual Root, it was nothing compared to his blue Innate Spiritual Root.
There was no doubt it would be a long road ahead for his blue Innate Spiritual Root to transform.
Devouring a green Innate Spiritual Root was just a drop in the bucket.
Whoosh!
With just a thought, Duan Lingtian withdrew his 10,000 Swords Territory and appeared in front of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples.
However, as soon as Duan Lingtian withdrew his Territory, the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples did not pay any attention to him. Instead, their attention was on the two corpses that were falling from the sky.
Bang! Bang!
The two corpses fell to the ground with a loud thud.
In the next instant, the entire place fell silent.
The Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples were shocked.
Duan Lingtian told Gu Li through Voice Transmission that Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, had come looking for trouble with him. He also told him the purpose of his visit and taught him the secret method that could resist the Soul Searching Secret Tactic to Gu Li.
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, you'd better run now. Otherwise, you won't be able to escape when the Enforcement Elders from our Vermilion Bird Sanctum arrive!"
Gu Li urged Duan Lingtian through Voice Transmission. His voice was filled with anxiety.
In his opinion, Duan Lingtian had challenged the authority of Zoroastrianism by killing Yuan Hong and Yuan Kuang.
How could the Zoroastrianism let Duan Lingtian go?
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Gu Li. I have a way to deal with this matter."
In the face of Gu Li's urging, Duan Lingtian's expression did not change. Instead, he responded to Gu Li with a confident smile.
This caused Gu Li to be stunned again.
Where did his Junior Brother Ling Tian get his confidence from?
Killing fellow disciples in Zoroastrianism was no small matter!
At the same time, the group of Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples regained their senses. When they looked at Duan Lingtian again, a hint of dread could be seen in their eyes.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian's' ruthlessness' was engraved in their hearts!
"This Duan Lingtian is really capable of doing anything … even Yuan Kuang was killed by him!"
"Ruthless! Too ruthless! I can't believe such a ruthless person would appear in the Black Turtle Sanctum. "
"As far as I know, he was already a ruthless person before he entered the Black Turtle Sanctum. Otherwise, he wouldn't have offended the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder, Li An, by killing Yang Wu, the son of the Northern Plethora Sect's fifth elder."
"However, no matter how ruthless he is, he's going to die today! Killing fellow disciples is not a small matter. He'll have to pay with his life! "
…
Many Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples whispered among themselves. All of them agreed that Duan Lingtian was going to die today. He would most likely have to pay with his life for the Yuan Brothers!
"It's a pity his Innate Spiritual Root is only a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. If he possesses an Innate Spiritual Root that's blue or above, coupled with the three high-grade Divine Abilities he has mastered, the higher-ups would only punish him symbolically even if he kills a few more people, let alone the Yuan Brothers!"
"Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel! Duan Lingtian's Innate Spiritual Root was confirmed to be a yellow Innate Spiritual Root when he was in the Black Turtle Sanctum. For this reason, he'll definitely die today! "
"It's such a pity that such a genius who's good at comprehending and has mastered high-grade Divine Abilities is going to be executed soon!"
…
The group of Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples whispered among themselves again. Not many of them thought Duan Lingtian would survive.
"I wonder if Duan Lingtian will escape when he knows he's going to die. Although the chances of him escaping are slim, if he doesn't escape, he won't be able to survive at all!"
"If I were him, I'd definitely take a gamble even if I know the chances of escaping are slim. As long as I win, I'll be able to live a comfortable life. "
"It seems like he has no intention of escaping at all."
…
Amidst the discussions, many Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples shifted their attention to Duan Lingtian. However, they discovered Duan Lingtian had been standing there for a long time. From the beginning until the end, he had no intention of leaving at all.
In the next instant, they were dumbfounded when they saw Duan Lingtian's actions.
Duan Lingtian flew out. However, he did not leave the residence of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples. Instead, he flew and landed in front of the Tertius house where Yuan Hong stayed before he sat down at the stone table in the small courtyard.
Duan Lingtian sat there quietly as though he was waiting for something.
Soon after, a Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Silver Flame Elder arrived.
"Elder Wu!"
"Elder Wu!"
…
When the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples saw this Silver Flame Elder, they quickly bowed at him. None of them dared to show any disrespect at all.
The person who arrived was a fat old man. His short stature made him look as fat as a ball.
His chubby face, in particular, was so small that only a pair of small eyes could be seen.
However, it was precisely this fat old man's small eyes that were sharper and more spirited than anyone else's eyes.
"The Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Enforcement Elder?"
When everyone bowed at the fat old man, Duan Lingtian could vaguely guess the other party's identity.
Under the signal of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples, the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's Enforcement Elder Wu Yi discovered the Yuan Brothers' bodies. His chubby face turned grave immediately, and his small eyes gleamed coldly.
"You're Duan Lingtian?"
Under the signal of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples, Wu Yi shifted his gaze to Duan Lingtian. When he saw Duan Lingtian sitting there leisurely with one leg crossed over the other, he was instantly enraged.
"Stand up!"
After taking a deep breath, Wu Yi suddenly shouted and asked Duan Ling Tian to stand up. His tone was dignified and contained an unquestionable meaning.
Upon hearing Wu Yi's shout, the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples present on the scene could not help but feel chills running down their spines.
They knew very well that although this Enforcement Elder of their Vermilion Bird Sanctum seemed harmless, he was actually extremely terrifying.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the Enforcement Elder of their Vermilion Bird Sanctum!
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, he's the Enforcement Elder of our Vermilion Bird Sanctum, Wu Yi. He seems harmless, but that's not the case at all. You should try to go along with him. Otherwise, who knows what he'll do!"
Gu Li immediately reminded Duan Lingtian through Voice Transmission. His voice was filled with worry.
When Duan Lingtian heard Wu Yi's shout, he narrowed his eyes and stood up at a speed that was neither fast nor slow. Then, he left the small courtyard and stepped into the air.
When Duan Lingtian arrived near Wu Yi, he bowed slightly and cupped his hands together. "Greetings, Elder Wu Yi!"
"I dare not accept your greetings!"
Faced with Duan Lingtian's greeting, Wu Yi's expression softened a little. However, his tone was still as domineering as before.
"I'm the Enforcement Elder of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum, Wu Yi. I came here today to investigate the death of my Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples, Yuan Hong and Yuan Kuang. You, Duan Lingtian, a Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple, have disregarded our Zoroastrianism's rules and killed the two Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples, Yuan Hong and Yuan Kuang.
Do you admit to your crimes? "
When Wu Yi reached the end of his sentence, his eyes narrowed as a terrifying aura emitted from his body.
The aura that contained a powerful and oppressive force swept out like a tidal wave toward Duan Lingtian.
If it was an ordinary person, their expression would have changed when they saw Wu Yi's aura.
However, Duan Lingtian remained unmoved like a mountain. He was not affected at all.
A hint of surprise appeared in the depth of Wu Yi's eyes when he saw this.
"Elder Wu Yi, if I'm not mistaken, let's not talk about whether I admit to my crimes or not. I don't think you can decide what happened today, right? After all, I'm not a Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple. "
Duan Lingtian looked at Wu Yi and said nonchalantly.
There was a rule in the Four Symbols Sanctums of Zoroastrianism. If a disciple from any of the Sanctums committed a crime, only the Enforcement Elder from that Sanctum could decide what to do.
The Enforcement Elders from the other Sanctums could only decide what to do with the disciples from their own Sanctums.
For this reason, even if Duan Lingtian had come to the Vermilion Bird Sanctum to kill someone and violated the Zoroastrianism's rules, the Enforcement Elder from the Black Turtle Sanctum would be the one to decide what crime he was charged with.
"You know the rules!"
When Wu Yi heard Duan Lingtian's words, he snorted and said, "Before I came here, I've already asked another Silver Flame Elder from our Vermilion Bird Sanctum to invite the Enforcement Elder from your Black Turtle Sanctum. Elder Guo Xiong will be here soon."
Guo Xiong was the Enforcement Elder from the Black Turtle Sanctum!
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded nonchalantly.
Then, under the incredulous gaze of everyone present, including Wu Yi, he turned around and continued to swagger into the Secundus house where Yuan Hong lived when he was still alive. Not only that, he also closed the door behind him.
Then, Duan Lingtian's voice resonated in the air again. "Elder Wu Yi, when Elder Guo Xiong arrives, let me know!"
The moment Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, the group of Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples present on the scene was dumbfounded.
Was he not a little too bold?
On the other hand, the Enforcement Elder from the Vermilion Bird Sanctum, Wu Yi, was so enraged that his chubby face trembled. His small eyes gleamed coldly.
If looks could kill, Duan Lingtian would have been killed many times over.
"Junior Brother Ling Tian …"
Even though Gu Li knew Duan Lingtian and was familiar with him, when he saw Duan Lingtian's bold actions, he felt like Duan Lingtian had become a stranger. He could not see through Duan Lingtian at all.
Naturally, he was not like the other Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples who thought Duan Lingtian was seeking death.
In his opinion, since his Junior Brother Ling Tian dared to do this, he must be confident. However, he did not know what kind of confidence he had.
On the other hand, when the Black Turtle Sanctum's Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong received the news and rushed to the Vermilion Bird Sanctum.
The Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder Li An had also received the news and rushed to the Vermilion Bird Sanctum almost at the same time as Guo Xiong.
