Soon after, Elder Qian withdrew his Divine Consciousness under the watchful eyes of the others.
Wei He immediately looked at Elder Qian. The hope in his eyes grew brighter.
"There's no doubt Duan Ling Tian possesses a blue Innate Spiritual Root …"
Sensing Wei He's gaze, Elder Qian swept his gaze over Wei He. His gaze instantly turned cold as he sternly shouted,
"Wei He! You've slandered the Black Turtle Sanctum's Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong. This is equivalent to disrespecting the Saint Land's Enforcement Hall! Now, follow me back to the Saint Land Enforcement Hall to receive your punishment! "
Just as Elder Qian finished speaking, Wei He's expression changed completely, becoming fearful and uneasy.
"Elder Qian … I'm only worried because my direct disciple was killed! Please have mercy, Elder Qian, please have mercy! "
In the next instant, Wei He no longer cared about Duan Lingtian as he begged Elder Qian for mercy.
If he was sent to the Saint Land Enforcement Hall, he would be skinned alive even if he did not die!
"Hurmph!"
However, Elder Qian completely ignored Wei He's begging. After he snorted coldly, he waved his hand and a vast energy pressed down on Wei He, suppressing him.
After suppressing Wei He, Elder Qian lifted him up like an eagle catching a chick.
"Elder Guo Xiong … The Saint Land Enforcement Hall will give you an explanation for Wei He slandering you!"
Elder Qian said as he looked at Guo Xiong. After he finished speaking, he brought the pale-faced Wei He away. In just a blink of an eye, they disappeared before the eyes of Duan Lingtian and the others.
"Duan Lingtian, I can't believe you possess a blue Innate Spiritual Root."
After Elder Qian brought Wei He away, Meng Jin looked at Duan Lingtian and sighed. "I was wondering why Elder Guo Xiong would take care of you two months ago. As it turns out, it's because you possess a blue Innate Spiritual Root. It's enough for you to be taken care of by the unspoken rules of Zoroastrianism."
"Thank you for leading the way, Elder Meng Jin."
Duan Lingtian nodded at Meng Jin. Although he was not fond of Meng Jin's direct disciple, Zhang Ji, he approved of Meng Jin's character.
At the very least, Meng Jin wouldn't blindly protect him.
This could be seen from Meng Jin's attitude on the road.
"I still have some things to do … Elder Guo Xiong, Duan Lingtian, I'll take my leave first!"
After a short moment, Meng Jin bid farewell and left, leaving only Duan Lingtian and Guo Xiong in the hall.
Meng Jin had tactfully left because Guo Xiong had instructed him to. Guo Xiong had something to say to Duan Lingtian in private.
"Duan Lingtian, you'll head to the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine in a month. Are you ready?"
Guo Xiong looked at Duan Lingtian and asked.
"I've been ready for a long time."
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly before he said, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank you for your judgment, Elder Guo Xiong. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would've been executed two months ago."
"You don't have to thank me. You know very well that you're only alive because of your innate talent! If your Innate Spiritual Root wasn't a blue Innate Spiritual Root but a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, I wouldn't have been able to protect you even if I wanted to! "
Guo Xiong said, "Perhaps, at that time, what happened today would've happened as well. However, Wei He wouldn't be the unlucky one. We would be the unlucky one."
"Wei He?"
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes as it flashed coldly. He could not help but ask, "Elder Guo Xiong, what kind of punishment will Wei He receive for slandering you and blaspheming the Saint Land Enforcement Hall? Will he be executed by the Saint Land Enforcement Hall? "
"He won't be executed."
Guo Xiong shook his head. His eyes flashed coldly when he mentioned Wei He. "However, even if he doesn't die, he'll be skinned alive! Blaspheming the Saint Land Enforcement Hall is not a small crime. Moreover, Elder Qian has already promised me that the Saint Land Enforcement Hall will give me an explanation!
For this reason, I'm certain Wei He won't be lightly punished. "
Guo Xiong continued to say.
"He won't be executed?"
Duan Lingtian was disappointed when he heard this.
Wei He's actions today were clearly to harm him!
If his Innate Spiritual Root was a yellow Innate Spiritual Root instead of a blue Innate Spiritual Root, he would have been killed by Wei He!
Duan Lingtian had always advocated an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye!
Naturally, he was disappointed when he heard Wei He would not be executed by the Saint Land Enforcement Hall.
"Why? Do you really want him to die? "
Since Duan Ling Tian did not deliberately conceal his emotions, Guo Xiong could easily see through it and asked in a timely manner.
"Don't tell me you don't want him to die after being slandered by him, Elder Guo Xiong?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"To me, even if he doesn't die, he'll be skinned alive. That's enough to quench my anger! Naturally, I'll feel better if he's executed. "
Duan Ling Tian was slightly disappointed when he heard the first half of Guo Xiong's sentence. However, when Guo Xiong finished his sentence, Duan Ling Tian realized he and Elder Guo Xiong were kindred spirits.
"However, it won't be easy for him to be executed. If he's not at the Saint Celestial Stage or above, he won't be able to survive the Saint Land Enforcement Hall's punishment! Unfortunately, as a Saint Land Bronze Flame Elder, he's only at the Saint Celestial Stage. "
Guo Xiong sighed when he reached the end of his sentence. A hint of pity could be heard in his voice.
"Elder Guo Xiong!"
However, at this moment, Duan Lingtian's eyes gleamed as he asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the news of Wei He accusing you and asking the Saint Land Enforcement Hall's elder to come here shouldn't have spread, right?"
"Yes."
Guo Xiong nodded. "Usually, the Saint Land Enforcement Hall wouldn't spread such news. After all, the Enforcement Hall can't be sure if I'm really cheating or not! If I'm really cheating, it'll damage the Saint Land Enforcement Hall's reputation if news of this spreads out! "
"That's exactly what I'm thinking."
Duan Lingtian nodded. His eyes gleamed coldly as he asked again, "However, if news of Wei He slandering you and blaspheming the Saint Land Enforcement Hall spreads out, what would the consequences be? If news of this spreads out, it won't damage the Saint Land Enforcement Hall's reputation. The Saint Land Enforcement Hall won't pursue the matter, right? "
"Theoretically, yes. However, once news of this spreads out, the Saint Land Enforcement Hall will be pressured as well. If Wei He's punishment isn't severe enough, it won't show that the Saint Land Enforcement Hall's reputation is not to be trifled with! "
Guo Xiong replied instinctively when he heard Duan Lingtian's words.
However, in the end, his eyes brightened as he stared at Duan Ling Tian intently. "You're saying we should spread this news so the Saint Land Enforcement Hall will be pressured into killing Wei He to protect the Saint Land Enforcement Hall's dignity?!"
"It's not me, it's you!"
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "I'm just an ordinary Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple. I don't dare to spread news of this at the risk of offending the Saint Land's Black Turtle Sanctum. Elder Guo Xiong, as the Black Turtle Sanctum's Enforcement Elder appointed by the Saint Land Enforcement Hall, even if news of this spreads out, the Saint Land Enforcement Hall won't blame you.
Moreover, if you do this, the Saint Land Enforcement Hall will think you deliberately spread news of this because Wei He provoked you. That's why you want to kill him! "
Duan Lingtian's words were flawless.
"Duan Lingtian, you're really wishful thinking!"
Guo Xiong was stunned by Duan Lingtian's words. When he regained his senses, he could not help but stare at Duan Lingtian intently. "However, are you so sure I'll spread news of this to force the Saint Land Enforcement Hall to kill Wei He?"
"I'm not sure."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "I'm only giving you a suggestion, Elder Guo Xiong. As for whether you want to spread news of this, the choice is in your hands, Elder Guo Xiong. Just like Elder Guo Xiong, although I want him to die, his death doesn't affect me at all!
I, Duan Lingtian, have even offended his master, Li An. How could I be afraid of him? "
When Duan Lingtian reached the end of his sentence, he smiled disdainfully.
"Duan Lingtian, in the past, I thought it was unwise for you to make an enemy out of Li An because I thought you overestimated yourself. However, why do I suddenly have a feeling that you'll be the one who has the last laugh in this game of chess with Li An?"
Guo Xiong looked at Duan Lingtian intently again. Although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil.
Duan Ling Tian's suggestion to force the Saint Land Enforcement Hall to kill Wei He showed how meticulous he was. It was not something an ordinary person could compare to.
At the very least, Guo Xiong did not think of this.
"Elder Guo Xiong, you flatter me. I'm merely an ordinary Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple. How can I possibly fight with Li An? He's the First Silver Flame Elder in our Black Turtle Sanctum! "
Duan Lingtian smiled humbly. However, his words were casual. It was obvious he was saying one thing, but he was thinking another.
Naturally, Guo Xiong could see Duan Lingtian's insincerity, but he did not point it out.
Then, Guo Xiong smiled faintly and said, "Duan Lingtian, two months ago, I intended to recommend you to Lord Sanctum Leader so that he could accept you as his direct disciple. If Lord Sanctum Leader accepts you as his direct disciple, as long as he recommends you to enter the Saint Land and become a Saint Land disciple, you'll naturally be exempted from the punishment of serving in the mine. “
However, when I went to look for Lord Sanctum Leader two months ago, I learned he was at a critical juncture in his closed-door cultivation. For this reason, I didn't disturb him. Until now, he hasn't come out of his closed-door cultivation. "
Guo Xiong continued to say, "If Lord Sanctum Leader doesn't come out of his closed-door cultivation within a month, I'll have no choice but to personally send you to serve in the First Mine of our Four Symbols Sanctums! However, don't worry, as soon as Lord Sanctum Leader comes out of his closed-door cultivation, I'll definitely recommend you to him. "
Upon hearing Guo Xiong's words, Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes.
The Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum was actually in closed-door cultivation?
Duan Lingtian immediately dismissed the idea of watching the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum cast the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier.
