"It seems like I've misjudged you."
Huang Qi Ling smiled wryly at Duan Lingtian when he saw Duan Lingtian easily catching up to him. "Brother Ling Tian, you're still able to keep up with me even though I'm traveling at full speed. This shows that you're much stronger than me, Brother Ling Tian!
I feel like you're not much older than me, Brother Ling Tian. However, your cultivation base is much higher than mine. I'm really embarrassed. After all, I'm from the Wandering Saint Palace while you're just a sectless cultivator, Brother Ling Tian. "
The wry smile on Huang Qi Ling's face widened when he reached the end of his sentence.
Although Devil Cultivators like them who had inherited the Devil Clans' legacies could devour the vital energy and blood of other Devils to improve their strength, there was still a bottleneck in the process.
The bottleneck was directly affected by a Devil Cultivator's innate talent.
The higher one's innate talent was, the stronger one would become after devouring the vital energy and blood of other Devils.
The reverse was also true.
"I was just lucky to have a fortuitous encounter."
Duan Lingtian replied.
"Brother Ling Tian, you're too humble."
Huang Qi Ling, naturally, felt Duan Lingtian was being humble.
After traveling for a while, more and more Human-Devils appeared before Duan Lingtian's eyes.
"We're here!"
After a while, Duan Lingtian saw a group of Human-Devils coming to a halt. Huang Qi Ling's voice rang in his ears, causing him to look ahead.
In front of them was a stone forest.
There were all kinds of strange boulders in the stone forest. The shortest ones were only a few dozen meters tall while the taller ones were hundreds of meters tall.
There were even a few boulders that were thousands of meters tall standing there like towering trees.
At this moment, the group of Human-Devils was rushing into the stone forest. They were like stones that had fallen into the sea, disappearing in just a blink of an eye. It was as though they did not even cause a ripple.
"They're in the stone forest?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at Huang Qi Ling.
"I heard so."
Huang Qi Ling nodded. His eyes lit up as he said, "Let's go! Let's follow them and take a look. "
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Just as Duan Lingtian was about to enter the stone forest with Huang Qiling, a voice rang out.
Three mocking voices rang out from behind them in a timely manner.
"Oh? Isn't that Huang Qi Ling? "
"With your little bit of cultivation, you dare to come here and join in the fun?"
I advise you not to embarrass yourself. You're embarrassing the people from the Wandering Saint Palace! "
Accompanying the three voices were three young men wearing brocade robes like Huang Qi Ling.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of Duan Lingtian and Huang Qi Ling, blocking their path.
At the same time, the gazes of the three young men fell on Huang Qi Ling.
Their gazes were filled with mockery and ridicule.
Seeing the three of them, Huang Qi Ling's face immediately turned gloomy. A trace of anger and fear flashed in his eyes.
"Who are they?"
Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, annoyed that someone was blocking his way. However, he still sent a Voice Transmission to Huang Qi Ling.
"They're also disciples of the Wandering Saint Palace. They're from the same generation as me. In the past … "
After Huang Qi Ling explained the situation to Duan Lingtian through Voice Transmission, Duan Lingtian finally understood the situation.
The three young men in front of him were all good-for-nothings. They liked to play around with female disciples who had weak cultivation bases and had no background.
Since their seniors were high-ranking officials in the Wandering Saint Palace, they would not be punished no matter how much trouble the female disciples caused.
There was one time when Huang Qi Ling could not stand it anymore and taught them a lesson.
Then, he would keep an eye on them and teach them a lesson if they dared to cause trouble.
Because Huang Qi Ling's background was stronger than any of the three of them, even if the three of them had good backgrounds, they couldn't use them to bully Huang Qi Ling. They could only admit that their skills were not as good as Huang Qi Ling's, and could only hate Huang Qi Ling in their hearts.
Due to an accident, Huang Qi Ling was severely injured and his Saint Veins were damaged. It was difficult for him to make any progress in his cultivation base. After that, his strength was surpassed by the three young men.
At that time, the three of them began to seek revenge on Huang Qi Ling.
Naturally, they did not dare to go too far due to Huang Qi Ling's background. However, they still mocked him verbally.
"Good-For-Nothing?"
A sneer appeared on Duan Ling Tian's face when he heard Huang Qi Ling's words.
"Huang Qi Ling? The person beside you … Is he your friend? "
One of the three young men in embroidered clothes looked at Duan Ling Tian with a bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes.
Upon hearing his words, the other two young men also looked at Duan Lingtian.
Whoosh!
When the three of them looked at Duan Lingtian, Huang Qi Ling's expression changed and he shouted coldly, "I don't know him! He's not my friend! "
When Huang Qiling opened his mouth to shout coldly, he was also somewhat hysterical.
At the same time, he moved in front of Duan Lingtian and stared at the three young men in front of him.
"Hahahaha …"
When the three young men in embroidered robes heard Huang Qi Ling's shout and saw how he was trying to cover it up, they could not help but laugh as though they had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Huang Qi Ling, since he's not your friend, let's kill him!"
"That's right! Since you said he's not your friend, let's kill him as prey for fun. "
"Tsk tsk … Looks like we're going to have some fun today."
After the three brocade-clad young men stopped laughing, they looked at Huang Qi Ling mockingly. Then, they looked at Duan Ling Tian who was standing behind Huang Qi Ling in unison. It was as though they were hunters looking at their prey through the forest.
Based on their words, it was clear they intended to kill Duan Lingtian.
Since Huang Qi Ling's background was stronger than theirs, they did not dare to make a move on him even if he was weaker than them. At most, they would mock him verbally.
However, they had no qualms about killing Huang Qi Ling's friend.
So what if they killed him?
Would the high-ranking officials of the Wandering Saint Palace behind Huang Qi Ling get into a conflict with the high-ranking officials of the Wandering Saint Palace for an outsider?
"If you dare to touch him, I'll kill all of you!"
Huang Qi Ling's eyes turned cold when he heard the three young men's words.
Although he and Duan Ling Tian could not be considered as friends, the reason Duan Ling Tian was in danger was because they were traveling together.
For this reason, although he felt guilty, he did not want anything to happen to Duan Lingtian.
Otherwise, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
"Kill?"
The three young men in embroidered robes laughed when they heard Huang Qi Ling's words. "Do you think you're qualified to kill us?"
"If it wasn't for your background, we would've killed you a long time ago!"
"Huang Qi Ling, we don't dare to touch you, but we'll definitely kill your friend today!"
"Didn't you say he's not your friend? It doesn't matter if he's your friend or not, he's going to die today! "
…
The three of them ignored Huang Qi Ling's threat and continued to talk as though they were going to kill Duan Lingtian.
At some point, many Human-Devils had gathered around to join in the fun.
"Eh? Isn't that Huang Qi Ling, the prodigy of the Wandering Saint Palace? "
Soon after, someone recognized Huang Qi Ling.
In the past, Huang Qi Ling was considered a celebrity in the Human-Devil clan. Although he was not the number one prodigy among the younger generation in the Wandering Saint Palace, he was still ranked in the top five.
"These three people seem to be disciples of the Wandering Saint Palace as well … Tsk tsk, Huang Qi Ling is like a tiger that has fallen from grace. Everyone can bully him now!"
Among the crowd, a member of the Demonic Human Clan said.
Although his voice was not loud, it still spread far and wide.
"Who's that?!"
The three disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace who had been called 'Tom, Dick, and Harry' were furious. They looked around angrily, trying to find the person who had called them 'Tom, Dick, and Harry'.
Unfortunately, there were too many people around so they could not find the person.
For a moment, the surrounding members of the Human-Demon Clan only dared to whisper to the people around them in mosquito-like voices.
"It seems like the purple-clad young man is in trouble."
"He can only blame himself for knowing Huang Qi Ling. Although Huang Qi Ling has a powerful background, he can only protect himself. The person behind him won't be able to protect his friends. "
"It's obvious these three disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace have a grudge with Huang Qi Ling. The person behind Huang Qi Ling is doomed!"
…
A hint of pity could be seen in the eyes of the Human-Devils as they looked at Duan Ling Tian.
Huang Qi Ling's expression darkened as he stood there.
Although he knew Duan Lingtian was stronger than him, he did not think Duan Lingtian would be able to fight three people at the same time.
Two of them were at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage while the other one was at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
After taking a deep breath, Huang Qi Ling sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Lingtian. "Brother Ling Tian, I'm sorry for dragging you into this. I'll hold them back while you enter the ruin left behind by the Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master as quickly as you can. I heard it's a maze. They won't be able to find you once you enter it! "
However, he did not receive any response from Huang Qi Ling.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew past as Duan Lingtian walked past Huang Qi Ling and stood in front of him. He stared at the three disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace calmly.
However, there was a hint of killing intent hidden behind his calm gaze.
Huang Qi Ling's expression changed drastically when he saw Duan Lingtian stepping forward.
"You … You want to kill me?"
Duan Lingtian asked. His voice was as calm as his gaze. However, if one listened carefully, one would be able to hear the bone-chilling coldness in his voice.
The three disciples from the Wandering Saint Palace were taken aback when they saw Duan Lingtian taking the initiative to step forward and ask such a question.
"Let me ask you three Tom, Dick, and Harry … do you want to kill me?"
