'There's still no substantial progress … It seems like I'll have to witness someone else casting the Black Turtle's Barrier before I can comprehend and master it in a short time!'
Three days passed in just a blink of an eye in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. When Duan Lingtian opened his eyes, he could not help but sigh.
'However, there are less than ten people who have successfully comprehended and mastered the Black Turtle's Barrier in Zoroastrianism. In our Black Turtle Sanctum, it seems like only the Sanctum Leader has mastered the Black Turtle's Barrier!'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
The Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum was also a Golden Flame Elder in Zoroastrianism. It was said that he was ranked in the top 50 on the Supreme Saint Ranking!
"Duan Lingtian!"
While Duan Lingtian was wondering how he could witness the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum casting the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier, a loud voice resonated in the air without any warning.
The voice was extremely penetrating as it passed through the Secundus house and the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda before it entered Duan Lingtian's ears.
"Who's calling me?"
Upon hearing the voice, Duan Lingtian could not help but feel puzzled.
He was certain he was not familiar with this voice. He had never heard it before.
The voice was old. He could tell the person who called him was an old man.
"I'm Meng Jin, a Silver Flame Elder from the Black Turtle Sanctum!"
After the person called out to Duan Lingtian, he began to introduce himself as though he was afraid Duan Lingtian would ignore him.
"Meng Jin?"
Duan Lingtian thought for a moment before he realized he had heard this name before. He was one of the five Silver Flame Elders in the Black Turtle Sanctum.
Compared to Li An, Guo Xiong, and Teng Shan, Meng Jin did not have much of a presence. Due to this reason, Duan Lingtian had to think carefully before he remembered him.
After leaving the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and putting it away, Duan Lingtian pushed open the door and left the second house.
As soon as he left the Secundus house, Duan Ling Tian noticed two gazes that descended onto him. One of the gazes was fine, but the other gaze was filled with hostility.
Duan Ling Tian followed his gaze and looked over.
With just a glance, he saw two figures standing in the air not far away, one in front and one behind.
The person in front was an old man. He was wearing the exclusive uniform of the Black Turtle Sanctum's Silver Flame Elder. He had a well-built body. If one did not look above his neck, one would not be able to tell that he was an old man.
The person standing behind the old man was no stranger to Duan Lingtian.
This person was none other than the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple who was defeated by him two months ago. His name seemed to be Zhang Ji.
As for the old man, he was none other than the Silver Flame Elder, Meng Jin.
"Elder Meng Jin, are you looking for me?"
Duan Lingtian asked curiously as he looked at the old man.
"You, come with me," Meng Jin said indifferently.
Meng Jin said as he looked at Duan Ling Tian indifferently.
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to walk out of the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple's residence. It was as though he was not worried that Duan Lingtian would not follow him.
"Farewell, Master!"
Before Duan Ling Tian could make a move, he heard Zhang Ji bowing respectfully at Meng Jin who was leaving. Zhang Ji's voice was filled with respect.
"Elder Meng Jin is Zhang Ji's master?"
Upon seeing this, Duan Lingtian could not help but feel surprised.
Although he had seen Zhang Ji standing by Elder Meng Jin's side earlier, he had thought that Zhang Ji had been captured by Elder Meng Jin to ask about his residence. Who would have thought that Elder Meng Jin was actually Zhang Ji's teacher!
However, even though Duan Lingtian knew Meng Jin was Zhang Ji's master, he still followed him.
With so many people watching, he was not worried Meng Jin would do anything to him.
"Duan Lingtian has left with Elder Meng Jin!"
"Elder Meng Jin seems to be here to look for Duan Lingtian. Is he going to seek revenge for his direct disciple, Zhang Ji, for what happened two months ago?"
"Do you think that's possible? That happened two months ago. If Elder Meng Jin wants to seek revenge for Zhang Ji, he would've done it a long time ago. Why would he wait until today? "
"You have a point."
…
The group of Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples who happened to see Duan Lingtian leaving with Meng Jin could not help but discuss among themselves.
They did not leave Duan Lingtian's side at all.
"In any case, Senior Brother Duan Lingtian won't be at a disadvantage. Two months ago, he killed two people in the Vermilion Bird Sanctum and caused such a huge commotion. However, he was only sentenced to ten years of service in our Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine! He killed a fellow disciple! It's not a small mistake! "
"Didn't they say the two people from the Vermilion Bird Sanctum were courting death and wanted to kill Duan Lingtian? That's why they were killed by Duan Lingtian, right? Duan Lingtian acted in self-defense. That's why he was given such a light punishment. "
"That's not the case! I have a friend who's a Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple. He witnessed what happened that day. According to him, one of the two Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples did attack Duan Lingtian first. However, that person might not have the intention to kill Duan Lingtian. He most likely wanted to teach Duan Lingtian a lesson to seek revenge for our Black Turtle Sanctum's Elder Li An! "
"A Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple seeking revenge for Elder Li An? Are you sure you're not mistaken? "
"You don't know this, right? That Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple is the direct disciple of Elder Li An's first direct disciple. He's Elder Li An's grand disciple! What's so strange about him seeking revenge for his Grand Master? "
"Let's not talk about whether Elder Li An's grand disciple who attacked Duan Lingtian had the intention to kill Duan Lingtian, it's said that the other Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple was killed by Duan Lingtian even though he did not make a move at all! In the opinion of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciples who were present at that time, Duan Lingtian had intentionally killed Duan Lingtian. However, in the end, our Black Turtle Sanctum's Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong only sentenced Duan Lingtian to serve in the mining area for ten years. "
"Don't tell me the Enforcement Elder from the Vermilion Bird Sanctum has no objections to Elder Guo Xiong's decision?"
"It's said that the decision to punish Duan Lingtian was made by Elder Guo Xiong and the Enforcement Elder from the Vermilion Bird Sanctum."
…
As the group of Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples chatted, they began to talk about the incident that Duan Lingtian had caused in the Vermilion Bird Sanctum two months ago.
News of that incident had already spread throughout the Four Symbols Sanctums.
At the same time, many Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples questioned the decision made by the Black Turtle Sanctum's Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong. However, it was useless.
As the saying went, 'The words of a lowly person carry little weight.'
As time passed, fewer and fewer people discussed this matter.
However, many of the Four Symbols Sanctums' disciples had doubts in their hearts.
Duan Lingtian had a powerful background!
Otherwise, how could he have intentionally killed someone without paying with his life?
On the other hand, after Duan Lingtian caught up with Meng Jin, one of the five great Silver Flame Elders from the Black Turtle Sanctum, he could not help but ask, "Elder Meng Jin, where are you bringing me?"
"You'll know when we get there," Meng Jin said indifferently.
"You'll find out when you get there."
However, when Duan Lingtian heard Meng Jin's words, he came to a halt and said with a frown, "Elder Meng Jin, if you don't make it clear, don't blame me for not cooperating. Who knows if you're looking for revenge because I injured your disciple two months ago?"
"Seek revenge from you?"
When Meng Jin heard Duan Lingtian's words, he was stunned for a moment before he chuckled. "An old man like me won't be so shameless as to interfere in a fight between juniors like you! Moreover, the fact that you injured him is also a form of training for him. I'm more than happy, why would I seek revenge from you? "
Meng Jin's words were so frank that Duan Lingtian had no choice but to believe him.
"Forget it, it's just the two of us now. There's no harm in telling you!"
After a while, Meng Jin said again, "I've come to look for you on the orders of Elder Qian, the Silver Flame Elder from the Saint Land Enforcement Hall!"
"The Saint Land Enforcement Hall? Elder Qian, the Silver Flame Elder? "
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes and asked, "Elder Meng Jin, do you know why Elder Qian is looking for me?"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian could not help but feel anxious.
Could it be that Li An had really overturned the decision made by Elder Guo Xiong two months ago?
However, as soon as this thought appeared in his mind, he quickly suppressed it.
He felt it was impossible!
With the grade of his Innate Spiritual Root, even the Saint Land Enforcement Hall would choose to protect him.
"However, if Elder Guo Xiong's decision wasn't overturned, why did the Silver Flame Elder from the Saint Land Enforcement Hall come to look for me in the Black Turtle Sanctum?"
Duan Lingtian was puzzled by this.
"I don't know the exact reason as well. However, Wei He came with him as well."
Meng Jin said as he led the way.
Duan Lingtian caught up to him again. "Wei He?"
This was his first time hearing this name.
"Wei He is the direct disciple of our Black Turtle Sanctum's Elder Li An. He's also the master of Yuan Hong, the Vermilion Bird Sanctum's disciple whom you killed two months ago!"
Meng Jin said again.
Yuan Hong's master?
Duan Lingtian frowned. The confusion on his face grew.
Under Meng Jin's lead, Duan Lingtian arrived at a secluded palace in the north of the Black Turtle Sanctum. This palace was located in the forest. It was very inconspicuous.
If it was not for Meng Jin leading the way, Duan Lingtian might not have been able to find this place.
The palace was slightly dilapidated, but it was still clean.
Duan Lingtian followed closely behind Meng Jin and entered the main hall of the palace. With just a glance, he saw a familiar figure.
The familiar figure was one of the three figures standing in the main hall. It was none other than the Black Turtle Sanctum's Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong.
"Elder Guo Xiong, why are you here?"
Duan Lingtian asked through Voice Transmission when he saw Guo Xiong.
"Someone accused me of abusing my authority and lying about the grade of your Innate Spiritual Root to clear your name!"
Guo Xiong replied through Voice Transmission.
"What?!"
Duan Lingtian was stunned when he heard Guo Xiong's words.
Immediately afterward, when his gaze fell on the middle-aged man who was staring at him coldly, he vaguely guessed something.
"He's Wei He? He's the one who accused Elder Guo Xiong of abusing his authority and lying about the grade of my Innate Spiritual Root to clear my name?
Lying about the grade of my Innate Spiritual Root? It seems like Li An doesn't believe my Innate Spiritual Root is blue! "
