Yang Wen who took the lead and Duan Ling Tian who followed closely behind entered the Palace of Death one after another.
After entering the Palace of Death, the first thing that entered Duan Lingtian's eyes was a battle arena in the distance.
The battle arena was huge. Apart from the area where Duan Lingtian was standing, the other three sides of the battle arena were seats for spectators. However, at this moment, the seats were empty.
One could vaguely see many dried bloodstains on the battle arena.
It was obvious the bloodstains were left behind in the past.
"So this is the Death Arena?"
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes at this moment.
The Death Arena was a venue provided by the Palace of Death for two Zoroastrianism Saint Land disciples who had signed a Death Pact to fight to the death. One of them was destined to die in the Death Arena.
"Both of you are going to sign a Death Pact?"
When Duan Lingtian and Yang Wen's eyes landed on the Death Arena in the distance, a hoarse voice resonated in their ears.
At first, the hoarse voice sounded from afar. However, in just a blink of an eye, it seemed to be right next to them.
When Duan Ling Tian and Yang Wen regained their senses, they instantly noticed that an old man had appeared next to them without them noticing.
The old man was skinny and had an ordinary appearance. He was dressed in the uniform of a Silver Flame Elder. It was obvious he was a Silver Flame Elder.
"The custodian of the Palace of Death?"
Along the way, Duan Lingtian had learned about the Palace of Death from many Saint Land disciples. He knew there was a Silver Flame Elder and three Bronze Flame Elders in the Palace of Death.
The only Silver Flame Elder was the manager of the Palace of Life and Death.
The custodian of the Palace of Death was called Nie Zui. He was widely acknowledged as the strongest Silver Flame Elder in the Zoroastrianism.
If Li An was the First Silver Flame Elder in the Black Turtle Sanctum of the Four Symbols Sanctums …
Then, Nie Zui would be the First Silver Flame Elder in the Zoroastrianism!
"This is the custodian of the Palace of Death? An expert in the top 100 of the Supreme Saint Ranking? "
Looking at this inconspicuous old man, Duan Lingtian secretly gasped.
When the group of Saint Land disciples mentioned the Palace of Death earlier, they naturally mentioned the Palace of Death's custodian, Nie Zui.
Therefore, Duan Lingtian knew that Nie Zui was not only the steward of the Palace of Life and Death, but he was also ranked 78th on the Supreme Saint Ranking.
It was said that among the Silver Flame Elders of Zoroastrianism, only two of them were ranked in the top 100 of the Supreme Saint Ranking.
Nie Zui was ranked 78th on the Supreme Saint Ranking, while the Silver Flame Elder who was ranked in the top 100 of the Supreme Saint Ranking was ranked 99th on the Supreme Saint Ranking. He was far behind Nie Zui.
"True disciple Yang Wen greets Elder Nie Zui!"
While Duan Lingtian was guessing that the person before him was Nie Zui, Yang Wen had already bowed respectfully to the old man.
Even someone as arrogant as Yang Wen lowered his head before Elder Nie Zui.
"Duan Lingtian greets Elder Nie Zui."
Yang Wen's voice jolted Duan Lingtian back to his senses. Duan Lingtian immediately nodded his head and greeted the old man.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian noticed the old man's calm gaze swept past him and Yang Wen. Although his gaze was calm, it gave Duan Lingtian a sense of pressure.
"Did both of you come to the Palace of Death to sign a Death Pact and have a Death Duel?"
The old man finally asked.
As the steward of the Palace of Death, he, naturally, knew the Saint Land disciples would not come to him unless they had a Death Duel.
As soon as Nie Zui finished speaking, Yang Wen did not reply to the old man. Instead, he looked at Duan Lingtian to see how Duan Lingtian would respond.
This was because if Duan Lingtian said yes and Duan Lingtian went back on his word, although the steward of the Palace of Death would not force him to sign the Death Pact, he would definitely teach him a lesson.
This was because he was already making fun of the steward of the Palace of Death and insulting the dignity of the Palace of Death. It was understandable for the steward of the Palace of Death to teach him a lesson.
As long as he was not killed or crippled, even the Saint Land's Enforcement Hall would not care.
"Yes."
When Duan Lingtian saw Yang Wen did not reply to Nie Zui and looked at him instead, he naturally knew what Yang Wen was thinking. However, he still responded without any hesitation.
However, Yang Wen's expression changed slightly when he heard Duan Lingtian's response.
However, Yang Wen's expression only changed for a moment before a gloating expression appeared on his face again. It was obvious he did not think Duan Lingtian would dare to sign the Death Pact.
"Follow me."
After Nie Zui finished speaking, he walked to the side.
Duan Lingtian and Yang Wen followed closely behind him.
Soon after, under Nie Zui's instructions, one of the three Bronze Flame Elders in the Palace of Death brought a piece of Life and Death Contract, a brush that was dyed with ink, and a plate of specially made ink.
"Who's going to go first?"
Nie Zui asked nonchalantly as he looked at Duan Lingtian and Yang Wen.
"Him!"
Duan Lingtian and Yang Wen looked at each other at the same time and said in unison.
"Hurmph!"
Nie Zui snorted when he saw Duan Lingtian and Yang Wen's refusal. He looked at Yang Wen and said nonchalantly, "You didn't reply when I asked if you're here to sign the Death Pact … Now, you'll sign the Death Pact first!"
Yang Wen did not expect he would be placed in such a situation because he did not reply to Nie Zui earlier.
Nie Zui actually asked him to sign the Death Pact first!
He immediately thought of the death of his biological brother, Yang Wu, and a hint of dread rose in his heart. He looked at Nie Zui and said, "Elder Nie Zui, can you let him sign the Death Pact first? If he dares to sign the Death Pact, I'll definitely sign it as well! "
"Haha … Yang Wen, you're a true disciple after all. Don't tell me you're afraid of an ordinary elite disciple like me?"
The moment Yang Wen's words left his mouth, Nie Zui's expression turned grave immediately. Duan Lingtian, on the other hand, could not help but laugh out loud. At the same time, he did not forget to mock Yang Wen.
Naturally, he would not sign the Death Pact first.
What if Yang Wen went back on his word after he signed the Death Pact?
After all, the reason he came here today was to kill Yang Wen.
It was not only because Yang Wen wanted to kill him, but it was also because Yang Wen's father, Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, had threatened him earlier. Yang Chong actually wanted to kill his family!
In Duan Lingtian's opinion, the moment Yang Chong threatened him with his family, he was already on the opposite side of Yang Chong. He would not rest until one of them was dead!
Since Yang Chong wanted to kill his family, he would kill Yang Chong's son!
Since he had already killed the younger one, he would kill the older one as well!
'Yang Chong … I really want to see what kind of expression you'll have when you find out I killed your eldest son as well!'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Yang Wen's expression turned grave immediately. He immediately glared at Duan Lingtian.
"Yang Wen? You're the son of Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect? "
Nie Zui asked indifferently as he looked at Yang Wen.
"Yes."
Upon hearing Nie Zui's question, Yang Wen hurriedly withdrew his angry gaze from Duan Lingtian and replied respectfully.
"No matter what, your father is a powerhouse ranked at the 146th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking. As his son and a true disciple of the Saint Land of Zoroastrianism, don't tell me you don't dare to sign the Death Pact even though you've come to my Palace of Death with someone else? If you don't dare to sign it, get lost now! "
A hint of anger could be seen on Nie Zui's face when he finished speaking. His tone was not friendly at all.
At the same time, a terrifying aura emitted from Nie Zui's body and shrouded Yang Wen's body. It was so oppressive that Yang Wen's face turned pale.
"Tsk tsk …"
Duan Lingtian clicked his tongue and said, "I wonder if Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, would be so angry that he would throw up three liters of blood when he finds out his eldest son missed the opportunity to avenge his youngest son?"
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, Yang Wen's eyes widened immediately.
Nie Zui also looked at Duan Lingtian with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "You're Duan Lingtian?"
Although he was in the Saint Land of Zoroastrianism, he had heard about the death of Yang Wu, the youngest son of Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect. He knew Yang Wu was killed by a Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple called Duan Lingtian.
Not only that, but he had also heard about Duan Lingtian.
He also knew Duan Lingtian had come to the Saint Land of Zoroastrianism to become a Saint Land disciple because he had successfully comprehended the Black Turtle's Barrier, the treasured Divine Ability of the Black Turtle Sanctum.
Although he had heard about Duan Lingtian more than once, he had never seen Duan Lingtian before today. For this reason, he did not recognize Duan Lingtian.
"Yes."
When faced with Nie Zui, Duan Ling Tian quickly put away his expression that seemed eager to see the world plunged into chaos and nodded respectfully.
"I'll sign it!"
While Nie Zui was looking at Duan Lingtian and was about to say something, Yang Wen suddenly shouted.
Then, Yang Wen stepped forward with bloodshot eyes and took the writing brush from the Palace of Death's Bronze Flame Elder's hand. With a few swishing sounds, he signed his name on the Death Contract.
Smack!
A soft sound resonated in the air. Yang Wen placed his right hand on the special ink pad and used his hand that was stained with the ink pad to leave his handprint on the Death Contract.
After signing the Death Contract unilaterally, Yang Wen turned around and looked at Duan Lingtian. He sneered and said, "Duan Lingtian, if you don't dare to sign this Death Contract, it means you're toying with Elder Nie Zui and blaspheming the Palace of Death!"
As soon as Yang Wen spoke, he had forced Duan Lingtian to the opposite side of the Palace of Death.
When Yang Wen spoke, apart from Nie Zui who was the overseer of the Palace of Death, the other three Bronze Flame Elders from the Palace of Death glared at Duan Lingtian with hostility.
"You don't have to worry about this."
