"Elder Guo Xiong!"
Duan Lingtian's expression turned solemn as he looked at Guo Xiong. "I understand your good intentions in recommending me to Lord Sanctum Leader as his disciple, but I appreciate your good intentions.
I already have a master! Moreover, according to the customs in my hometown, once I have a master, I'm not allowed to acknowledge a second master before obtaining the permission of that master!
Otherwise, it'll be considered treason! "
Duan Lingtian's words were filled with conviction.
"You already have a master?"
Guo Xiong was surprised. He asked again, "Which force does your master belong to?"
"My master is just a sectless cultivator. He doesn't belong to any force."
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
"Duan Lingtian, think about it carefully. If you can acknowledge a Golden Flame Elder like Lord Sanctum Leader as your master in Zoroastrianism, it'll only be beneficial to you!"
Guo Xiong advised with a solemn expression, "Put everything else aside, just take the conflict between you and Li An as an example. If you can become the direct disciple of the Sanctum Leader of our Black Turtle Sanctum, Li An won't dare to make an enemy out of you even if he's ten times more courageous!
Most importantly, Lord Sanctum Leader won't mind if you have another master before this. As long as you're willing to acknowledge him as your master, with your innate talent, he won't reject you! "
Guo Xiong's persuasion was also earnest and well-intentioned.
In his opinion, with Duan Lingtian's blue Innate Spiritual Root and his monstrous innate talent in comprehending Divine Abilities, Duan Lingtian was definitely the most sought-after martial genius with a blue Innate Spiritual Root in Zoroastrianism!
He was certain as long as he recommended Duan Lingtian to the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum, the Sanctum Leader would definitely accept Duan Lingtian as his disciple without any hesitation.
"Elder Guo Xiong, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I've already made up my mind!"
Duan Lingtian shook his head. When he spoke again, his tone was resolute and decisive. He did not leave any room for negotiation.
To be honest, he was, naturally, tempted by Guo Xiong's words.
However, he still felt it was inappropriate.
Put aside the fact that he would be letting down his master, Feng Qingyang, whom he had yet to meet, even if his master did not mind, he did not want to drag other people into this.
That was right!
He did not want to drag other people into this!
He did not come to the Fire Worship Sect to become a Fire Worship Sect's disciple. He did not want to rise up the ranks and become a high-ranking official in the Fire Worship Sect in the future.
There was only one purpose for him to come to Zoroastrianism.
That was to save his wife and daughter.
.. to save his master.. whether or not his master's master's knowledge or not, he would be affected would be, Duan, his master, as his master, his master ''s master's master,'s master's master's, he, he..
A, a master, a master for a master.. Master to teach to Lingtian a master master... Duan Lingtian.
Let alone the fact that the other party was his master, if it was possible, Duan Ling Tian did not want to implicate any innocent people because of his matter.
"Forget it. Since you've already made up your mind, I won't persuade you anymore."
When Guo Xiong saw how resolute Duan Lingtian was, he did not try to persuade Duan Lingtian. He sighed and said, "I'll pick you up in a month's time. We'll head to the First Mine in the Four Symbols Sanctums!"
After Guo Xiong finished speaking, he left. He did not even bid farewell to Duan Lingtian.
It was obvious he was angered by Duan Lingtian's stubbornness.
After Guo Xiong left, Duan Lingtian returned to his residence in the Black Turtle Sanctum and returned to his Secundus House.
However, he did not enter closed-door cultivation in the following month.
Instead, he would occasionally comprehend the Sovereign Heart Sword and the Divine Abilities, the Elementary Devouring Tactic and the Otherworldly Celestial, that he had mastered.
As for the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier, he temporarily put it aside.
"There's no need for me to waste my time on the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier, before I see someone else casting it."
This was also the reason Duan Lingtian did not continue to comprehend the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier.
Apart from that, there was still room for improvement in both the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic and the Otherworldly Celestial.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian spent more time on them.
Heaven rewarded those who worked hard!
Ten months later, Duan Lingtian finally reached the threshold of the third stage of the Sovereign Heart Sword. Moreover, he had mastered the Divine Ability, the Otherworldly Celestial. However, his Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, seemed to have reached a bottleneck.
"It's time."
Duan Lingtian left the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda with just a thought.
After he put the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda away, he pushed the door open and went to the small courtyard outside his room. He sat down in front of the stone table in the courtyard.
Ten months in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was only one month outside.
'Judging by the time, Elder Guo Xiong should be here soon.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself as he sat in front of the stone table.
At this moment, a voice resonated from the lower floor of the Secundus house he was in.
"Have you heard? Elder Li An's eldest direct disciple, Wei He, was executed by the Saint Land Enforcement Hall three days ago! "
Wei He was executed?
Upon hearing this, Duan Lingtian could not help but feel stunned.
Then, another voice resonated in the air. "It can't be, right? He's really executed? Just because of the news that spread earlier? "
"Hurmph! Don't underestimate that news … I don't know who spread it, but it said that Wei He had challenged the Saint Land Enforcement Hall's authority and was detained by the Saint Land Enforcement Hall. "
The voice that came first sounded again.
"Perhaps, the Saint Land Enforcement Hall did not intend to kill Wei He because he's a Bronze Flame Elder and possesses a blue Innate Spiritual Root! However, someone spread the news that Wei He had blasphemed the Saint Land Enforcement Hall and challenged the authority of the Saint Land Enforcement Hall. Wouldn't the Saint Land Enforcement Hall's authority be tarnished if they don't execute Wei He? "
"In the Fire Worship Sect, the Saint Land Enforcement Hall is a sacred place that cannot be desecrated. What would the others think if someone managed to survive after such a place was desecrated by someone? They would only look down on the Saint Land Enforcement Hall! "
One must admit that the owner of this voice had a clear understanding of this matter.
"Now that you mention it, you're right. However, have you heard about how Wei He blasphemed the Saint Land Enforcement Hall?"
The owner of the other voice asked.
"I've heard about this. It's said that three months ago, our Black Turtle Sanctum's Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong made a ruling on Duan Lingtian. For this reason, Wei He went to the Saint Land Enforcement Hall to accuse Elder Guo Xiong of abusing his power for personal gain! "
The first voice continued to say, "I've heard that the Saint Land Enforcement Hall has personally sent people to our Black Turtle Sanctum to investigate. However, the results show that Wei He had slandered Elder Guo Xiong!"
"Not only did Wei He not avenge his direct disciple, but he even sacrificed his own life. How pitiful!"
The second voice continued to enter Duan Lingtian's ears.
"It seems like Elder Guo Xiong has spread the news in the end."
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly. He knew his suggestion had been accepted by the Enforcement Elder.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Just as Duan Lingtian was thinking about Guo Xiong, a voice resonated in the distance. Accompanying the voice was a tall figure.
It was none other than Guo Xiong!
Guo Xiong had arrived as scheduled. He brought Duan Lingtian to the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine for his service.
"Elder Guo Xiong, did the Enforcement Hall of the Holy Land find out who spread the news?"
Duan Lingtian could not help but ask on the way to the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine.
"Yes, they did."
Guo Xiong nodded. Then, he looked at Duan Lingtian deeply. "It's just as you've said … After the Saint Land Enforcement Hall found out I was the one who spread the news, they didn't make things difficult for me."
Everything was just as Duan Lingtian had said.
Due to this reason, Guo Xiong was even more shocked by how meticulous Duan Lingtian was.
He could not help but make up his mind.
Even if he had to fall out with Li An, he would never make an enemy out of Duan Lingtian!
Duan Ling Tian gave him a feeling that was even more dangerous than Li An!
"Wei He's death … I'm sure Li An isn't feeling too good either, right?"
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly.
In his opinion, Li An was the one who had tricked his eldest direct disciple, Wei He!
If Li An had not told Wei He that he only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, Wei He would not have been so foolish as to go to the Saint Land Enforcement Hall to sue the Black Turtle Sanctum's Guardian Elder Guo Xiong for abusing his power for personal gain!
It could be said that Wei He had dug his own grave!
And the reason why he went to seek death was also related to Li An.
"Wei He was sentenced to death by the Saint Land Enforcement Hall three days ago. The news has only reached our Black Turtle Sanctum today … Even if Li An has learned about this, he must've just learned about it not long ago," Guo Xiong said.
"That's right.
Just as Guo Xiong had said, Li An had also just learned about Wei He being sentenced to death by the Saint Land Enforcement Hall.
Bang!
With a loud sound, the stone table in front of Li An collapsed and turned into dust.
"He 'er, I've let you down!"
Li An's expression turned grave as his eyes turned red. His body emitted a terrifying aura that kept people away.
Wei He was his eldest personal disciple, as well as his first personal disciple.
He had a special relationship with this direct disciple. He even treated him like his own son.
However, this direct disciple whom he treated like his own son had died!
"I've underestimated Duan Lingtian. I can't believe he really possesses a blue Innate Spiritual Root!"
After confirming Duan Lingtian possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root, Li An felt pressured. Coupled with the fact that he had just learned that his eldest direct disciple had been sentenced to death by the Saint Land Enforcement Hall, he could not wait to find Duan Lingtian and kill him!
Li An blamed Duan Lingtian for Wei He's death.
At this moment, his desire to kill Duan Lingtian was unprecedentedly strong!
'Duan Lingtian, you've caused me to lose my family. I'll let you have a taste of losing your family as well!'
The moment Li An thought of this, his eyes flashed coldly as killing intent surged out of his body.
In the next instant, he left his residence and the Black Turtle Sanctum.
His target was the White Tiger Sanctum!
