The name Duan Lingtian was not unfamiliar to the people from the Four Symbols Sanctums.
How could it be unfamiliar?
First, he had offended the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder, Li An, as soon as he arrived at the Zoroastrianism Sanctum.
Then, he had even killed Li An's grand disciple, Yuan Hong, a disciple of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum!
Not only did he kill Yuan Hong, but he had also killed Yuan Kuang, Yuan Hong's younger brother!
Just when everyone thought he had intentionally killed Yuan Kuang and would be sentenced to death, the Black Turtle Sanctum's Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong had protected him. Even the Saint Land Enforcement Hall had protected him!
All these reasons were enough to make the name Duan Lingtian a legend in the Four Symbols Sanctums.
However, the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple, Duan Lingtian, had caused trouble again?
Moreover, the trouble he caused was related to Sun De who had caused a commotion in the Four Symbols Sanctum?
"Duan Lingtian defeated Sun De as soon as he arrived at the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine? You must be joking! "
When the people from the Four Symbols Sanctums, whether it was the people from the Azure Dragon Sanctum, White Tiger Sanctum, Vermilion Bird Sanctum, or Black Turtle Sanctum, most of them did not believe it.
However, when the news was confirmed by some of the Four Symbols Sanctums' elders, they had no choice but to believe it.
"Duan Lingtian's cultivation base is only at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage?"
"Then, does this mean he didn't use his full strength when he fought with Yuan Hong earlier?"
"Isn't he hiding his strength a little too well?"
…
Similar discussions could be heard everywhere in the Four Symbols Sanctums.
It was apparent the people from the Four Symbols Sanctums had also learned about Duan Lingtian displaying his Saint Energy at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage in the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine.
For a moment, they were certain Duan Lingtian had been hiding his cultivation base from the beginning.
"Don't tell me Duan Lingtian's cultivation base is at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage because he's intentionally hiding his cultivation base?"
Many people had the same thought.
However, their doubts were quickly rejected by the others. "Impossible! Don't forget that he only has a yellow Innate Spiritual Root … "
On the other hand, mediocre people with yellow Innate Spiritual Roots would usually reach the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage. Breaking through to the Quintessential Saint Stage is harder than ascending the heavens! "
The news that Duan Lingtian only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root had long spread in the Four Symbols Sanctums. Due to this reason, everyone in the Four Symbols Sanctums knew about it.
For a moment, most people felt that Duan Lingtian's current cultivation had reached his' limit '.
In the future, it would be difficult for him to advance even an inch!
However, these people thought this way because they were certain Duan Ling Tian possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. It was only natural for them to assume that he had a yellow Innate Spiritual Root.
In the Four Symbols Sanctums, some people knew Duan Lingtian did not possess a yellow Innate Spiritual Root but a blue Innate Spiritual Root!
One of them was the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder, Li An.
Li An had also heard about how the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple, Sun De, had successfully comprehended the Black Turtle's Barrier, the treasured Divine Ability of the Black Turtle Sanctum.
Regarding this matter, at the same time he was surprised, his heart was also filled with jealousy.
Even he, the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder, had yet to successfully comprehend the Black Turtle's Barrier.
How could he not be jealous when an ordinary Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple had successfully comprehended the treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier, before him?
"Duan Lingtian's cultivation base is at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage? He defeated Sun De? "
Li An's attention was diverted by this piece of news. Horror dawned on him. "That little bastard! Has he been at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage for a long time or has he just made a breakthrough?"
Li An could not help but wonder about Duan Lingtian's cultivation base.
This was because even he was not certain if Duan Ling Tian had just broken through to the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage or not. However, regardless of whether Duan Ling Tian had just broken through to the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, Duan Ling Tian's existence made him feel threatened.
He knew this very well.
Since Duan Lingtian possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root, it meant Duan Lingtian's achievements in the future would not be inferior to his.
Not only that, but with Duan Lingtian's innate talent in comprehending Divine Abilities, he would most likely become a Golden Flame Elder in the future.
A Golden Flame Elder was an existence that was superior to him, Li An!
If Duan Ling Tian really went that far, he, Li An, would be finished!
Completely finished!
"No! I can't let this drag on any longer! Duan Lingtian must die! "
Li An's breathing quickened when he regained his senses. As he muttered to himself, his eyes gleamed coldly like a venomous snake that was looking around, ready to pounce at any time.
Li An did not think much of Duan Lingtian who possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root.
He knew Duan Lingtian's innate talent in comprehending Divine Abilities was heaven-defying.
However, Duan Lingtian who possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root and had a heaven-defying innate talent in comprehending Divine Abilities made Li An wary and fearful.
He was almost certain.
An existence like Duan Ling Tian would definitely become a huge threat when he grew up in the future!
'However, it won't be easy to kill him in the First Mine. Moreover, his current strength is comparable to an ordinary Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage Martial Cultivator!'
Li An's expression turned grave when he thought of this.
In the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine, apart from the elders of the First Mine, only the Enforcement Elder and the sinners brought by the Enforcement Elder were allowed to enter.
It was impossible for Li An to enter the First Mine, let alone kill someone there!
"Duan Lingtian! Do you really think I can't do anything to you just because you're hiding in the First Mine? "
Li An sneered before he left his residence.
He continued to move forward rapidly. When he finally came to a halt, he had already arrived at the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples. He stopped in front of a Primus house.
"Elder Li An!"
"It's Elder Li An!"
…
Li An's appearance immediately attracted the attention of many Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples.
"Hong Xu!"
After Li An came to a halt, he glanced at the Primus house in front of him and extended his Divine Consciousness. He easily entered the Primus house and sent a Voice Transmission to the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple inside.
"Who's there?!"
The Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple who was cultivating in the Primus house was suddenly awakened. His expression turned grave immediately as flames of fury burned in his eyes. He wanted to slap the person who had awakened him a few times.
"It's me, Li An."
The Voice Transmission rang again, causing the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple's expression to turn grave again.
However, this time, his expression was no longer grave. Instead, he forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
That was not all.
Even the blazing fury in his eyes had completely vanished at this moment.
Creak!
Under Li An's gaze, the door of the Primus house opened. A Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple walked out and bowed respectfully at him. "Greetings, Elder Li An! “
This Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple was a middle-aged man. He had an ordinary appearance and a medium build.
He was extremely ordinary. In fact, he was so inconspicuous that he could not be found in the group.
"It's Senior Brother Hong Xu!"
"Why is Elder Li An looking for Senior Brother Hong Xu?"
…
The Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples who did not return to their own residences immediately saw the middle-aged man who was called out by Li An.
When they saw the middle-aged man, their eyes were filled with respect.
Hong Xu was widely acknowledged as the Great Senior Brother by the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples.
The reason he was widely acknowledged as the Great Senior Brother was because he was very powerful. Moreover, his cultivation base had already broken through to the Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage more than a year ago.
Hong Xu was also the only Mastery Quintessential Saint Stage disciple in the Black Turtle Sanctum.
However, when they saw Li An looking for Hong Xu, they found it strange. They did not know why Li An was looking for Hong Xu. As far as they knew, there was no relationship between the two of them.
While the group of Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples was still feeling puzzled, Hong Xu's voice rang out.
"Come with me!"
Li An said to Hong Xu indifferently before he flew out of the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples' residence. His silhouette gradually disappeared before the group of Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples' eyes.
When Li An's silhouette disappeared into the distance, Hong Xu followed him even though he was still puzzled.
Li An was the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder!
He would still be a Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple before the next Saint Land assessment. Due to this reason, he did not dare to offend Li An.
When the group of Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples saw Li An and Hong Xu leaving one after another, they finally withdrew their gazes.
Naturally, due to Li An's deterrence, nobody dared to follow him.
Outside the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples' residence, Li An came to a halt in a remote bamboo forest.
"Elder Li An, you're looking for me?"
Hong Xu who was following behind him came to a halt. At the same time, he looked at Li An who had turned around and asked in confusion.
"Hong Xu, I want you to go to the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine and kill someone!"
Li An's eyes flashed coldly as he said bluntly.
Swoosh!
Upon hearing Li An's words, horror dawned on Hong Xu's face. "L-Elder Li An, you want me to go to the First Mine to kill Duan Lingtian?"
Although Hong Xu had been in closed-door cultivation most of the time, he would still come out sometimes.
For this reason, he knew everything about Duan Lingtian.
For this reason, when Li An directly asked him to go to the Four Symbols Sanctums' First Mine to kill someone, the first person he thought of was Duan Lingtian.
"That's right!"
Li An nodded when he heard Hong Xu's question.
"Elder Li An, I'm afraid I can't do as you say!"
After taking a deep breath, Hong Xu rejected Li An in the end.
Put aside the fact that he was not confident he could kill Duan Lingtian, so what if he could kill Duan Lingtian?
In the end, he would still be executed for violating the Zoroastrianism's rule.
"Hong Xu, have you thought this through? If I'm not mistaken, your clan, the Hong Clan, is in the Western Region!"
Li An was not surprised by Hong Xu's rejection. When he reached the end of his sentence, he looked at Hong Xu meaningfully.
Hong Xu's expression turned grave immediately. "Elder Li An, are you threatening me?"
"You can take it as a threat."
