"But … this time, I'm afraid Li An is going to screw over his own personal disciple!"
Duan Lingtian smirked inwardly as he looked at Wei He.
"Duan Lingtian, this is Elder Qian from the Saint Land's Enforcement Hall," Meng Jin introduced Elder Qian to Duan Lingtian.
After leading Duan Lingtian in, he looked at the old man who was surrounded by Guo Xiong and Wei He before introducing himself to Duan Lingtian.
"Greetings, Elder Qian."
Upon hearing this, Duan Lingtian greeted the old man politely.
Elder Qian was a scholarly old man who appeared to be very kind.
When he saw Duan Lingtian greeting him, he nodded at Duan Lingtian with a gentle smile on his face. "You're Duan Lingtian?"
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"I came to the Black Turtle Sanctum today because of the verdict your Black Turtle Sanctum's Enforcement Elder, Elder Guo Xiong, made on you two months ago!"
Elder Qian did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
Duan Lingtian nodded again. His expression was calm as though he did not feel guilty at all.
In fact, there was nothing for him to feel guilty about.
Upon seeing this, Wei He smirked inwardly. 'Humph! You're just bluffing! Later on, when Elder Qian personally examines your Innate Spiritual Root, I want to see if you can still be as calm as you are now … "
In Wei He's heart, he had already sentenced Duan Lingtian to death.
He was certain Duan Ling Tian only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root because of his first impression.
"Aren't you surprised at all?"
Elder Qian asked curiously when he saw Duan Lingtian's calm expression.
"Elder Qian, I've long guessed this would happen. However, I didn't expect the person who wants to overturn Elder Guo Xiong's verdict isn't Elder Li An from our Black Turtle Sanctum!"
When Duan Lingtian reached the end of his sentence, he shifted his gaze and looked at Wei He who was standing next to Elder Qian meaningfully.
"There's no need for my master to overturn your verdict!"
When Wei He saw the mockery in Duan Ling Tian's eyes, he who originally did not intend to speak was instantly enraged. He could not help but sneer when he saw the mockery in Duan Ling Tian's eyes.
"Humph!"
However, Elder Qian was displeased by Wei He's words. He snorted. "It's not that easy to overturn a verdict an Enforcement Elder's verdict! Before the truth is clear, everything is still unknown. "
In the Fire Worship Sect, it was equivalent to slapping the Saint Land's Enforcement Hall in the face if someone questioned or even tried to overturn the decision of an Enforcement Elder.
In Zoroastrianism, all the Enforcement Elders, including the four Enforcement Elders from the Four Symbols Sanctums, were directly appointed by the Saint Land Enforcement Hall. Questioning the verdict of any Enforcement Elder was equivalent to questioning the judgment of the Saint Land Enforcement Hall.
For this reason, when Li An wanted to accuse the Black Turtle Sanctum's Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong of abusing his power for personal gain, the elder on duty in the Saint Land Enforcement Hall had given him a warning.
It was fine to accuse an Enforcement Elder appointed by the Enforcement Hall. However, if the truth was revealed, the accuser's actions would be considered as blasphemy against the Saint Land Enforcement Hall.
In Zoroastrianism, the Saint Land Enforcement Hall was in charge of enforcing the law. It was a sacred and dignified place.
If anyone dared to blaspheme against the Saint Land Enforcement Hall, they would be severely punished.
The Saint Land Enforcement Hall's dignity was not to be trifled with.
In the history of Zoroastrianism, many people had blasphemed against the Saint Land Enforcement Hall in various ways. Although most of them did it unintentionally, the Saint Land Enforcement Hall did not care about this.
In the end, at least half of those people died from the Saint Land Enforcement Hall's punishment.
"Yes, Elder Qian."
Wei He's heart skipped a beat when he heard Elder Qian's snort. He quickly replied and no longer dared to say anything else.
However, when he looked at Duan Lingtian, a hint of mockery could be seen in his eyes.
Whoosh!
Elder Qian was a straightforward person. With a raise of his hand, he took out a Spiritual Pearl that was used to test Innate Spiritual Roots and passed it to Duan Lingtian. "Use this Spiritual Pearl to test your Innate Spiritual Root. If the Spiritual Pearl shows that you have a blue Innate Spiritual Root, I'll use my Divine Consciousness to enter your soul to sense and investigate your Innate Spiritual Root to see if it's really a blue Innate Spiritual Root."
"Do you have any objections?"
As soon as Elder Qian finished speaking, his gaze turned stern as he looked at Duan Lingtian. It gave Duan Lingtian a sense of pressure.
"I'll do as you say, Elder Qian."
Under Wei He's shocked gaze, Duan Lingtian who was facing the pressure from Elder Qian was still as calm as ever. He readily reached out his hand and took the Spiritual Pearl from Elder Qian.
"He … can still be so calm at a time like this?"
If Wei He had thought Duan Lingtian was deliberately mystifying himself, he could not help but have an ominous feeling when he saw how calm Duan Lingtian was when he was being tested by Elder Qian.
The Black Turtle Sanctum's Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong stood on the other side of Elder Qian.
From the beginning until the end, Guo Xiong's expression did not change at all.
In his opinion, the ruling he made to Duan Lingtian was carried out according to the unspoken rules of Zoroastrianism. There was no suspicion of favoritism at all.
Due to this reason, Wei He's complaint to the Saint Land Enforcement Hall was just a farce to him.
In any case, he would not be the one to suffer in the end.
When Duan Lingtian held the Spiritual Pearl in his hand, apart from Guo Xiong who did not pay much attention to it, everyone else, including Elder Qian from the Saint Land Enforcement Hall, Wei He, and Meng Jin, were staring at the Spiritual Pearl in Duan Lingtian's hand intently. They were waiting for a reaction.
After the span of ten breaths, the Spiritual Pearl would tell them the grade of Duan Lingtian's Innate Spiritual Root.
Time continued to pass by quietly.
After the span of a breath.
After the span of two breaths.
…
After the span of ten breaths, the Spiritual Pearl in Duan Lingtian's hand finally reacted. Elder Qian, Wei He, and Meng Jin immediately narrowed their eyes.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the three of them, a faint green light shone from the Spiritual Pearl.
In the end, the green light shone brightly. It was dazzling!
"It's really a blue Innate Spiritual Root!"
Meng Jin could not help but exclaim in a low voice.
"Impossible!"
Wei He's expression changed drastically when he saw the green light shining from the Spiritual Pearl in Duan Lingtian's hand.
After a while, shock and disbelief could be seen on his face.
"There must be something wrong with this Spiritual Pearl! Change it to another one! I have a Spiritual Pearl here as well … Change it to another one! "
As Wei He spoke, he hastily took out a Spiritual Pearl and threw it at Duan Lingtian.
Smack!
Although Duan Ling Tian could ignore the Spiritual Pearl that Wei He threw at him, he still extended his hand to catch the Spiritual Pearl in order to make Wei He give up hope and despair.
He wanted to use Wei He's Spiritual Pearl to test his Innate Spiritual Root again!
When Wei He saw Duan Lingtian catching his Spiritual Pearl, he stared at it with a hint of hope in his eyes.
At this moment, he completely viewed this Spiritual Pearl as his last hope!
However, after the span of ten breaths, his Spiritual Pearl shone with a dazzling green light as well. Horror and disbelief could be seen in his eyes.
"How could this be? Impossible! It's impossible! When you first entered Zoroastrianism, my master witnessed you being tested twice for your Innate Spiritual Root. Both times, you only have a yellow Innate Spiritual Root! "
"You must have used some sort of trick! You must have! "
Wei He's face was filled with disbelief as he roared continuously.
At this moment, he had completely lost his composure.
Meng Jin glanced at Wei He and shook his head.
At this moment, even an outsider like him could confirm that Duan Lingtian indeed possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root.
As for why Duan Lingtian was tested to possess a yellow Innate Spiritual Root when he first arrived at the Black Turtle Sanctum, he had no idea.
He only believed what he saw with his own eyes.
"Enough!"
It wasn't until Elder Qian's shout that Wei He quivered and quieted down.
"Whether he's using some sort of trick or not, the truth will be revealed once I probe his soul with my Divine Consciousness and sense his Innate Spiritual Root!"
Upon hearing Elder Qian's words, a glimmer of hope appeared in the depth of Wei He's eyes again. Once again, he saw Elder Qian's Divine Consciousness as his last hope.
"Duan Ling Tian, my Divine Consciousness will only probe and sense your Innate Spiritual Root. It won't harm your soul … Therefore, there's no need for you to feel pressured.
Just let it be, "Elder Qian said as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Duan Lingtian's straightforwardness and cooperation left a good impression on Elder Qian. After he smiled at Duan Lingtian, he extended his Divine Consciousness to probe and sense Duan Lingtian's Innate Spiritual Root.
As soon as Elder Qian's Divine Consciousness entered Duan Lingtian's soul, it pressured Duan Lingtian.
This was because Elder Qian's Divine Consciousness was extremely powerful!
'However, compared to Huo Lao's Divine Consciousness, Elder Qian's Divine Consciousness is much weaker.'
Soon after, Duan Lingtian realized this as well. 'It seems like Huo Lao has recovered a lot of his strength. If he can come out of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, with his strength and Divine Abilities, even the Golden Flame Elder of Zoroastrianism might not be a match for him!'
When Duan Lingtian thought of this, he felt it was a pity.
It was a pity Huo Lao could not come out.
Otherwise, Huo Lao would be a super fighter by his side.
If he had a super fighter by his side, he would have charged into the Saint Land Enforcement Hall of Zoroastrianism to rescue his wife and daughter and bring them away from Zoroastrianism.
"Is this Wei He an 'idiot'? Things have already come to this, and he's still holding onto hope? '
