Everyone present on the scene had witnessed Duan Lingtian's strength.
Even the Patriarch of the Human-Devil clan's master, Liao Nai Jiang, a Three Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, was killed by Duan Lingtian with just a blow.
Yuwen Haochen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, would not be able to escape death today.
After Yuwen Hao Chen's death, they began to wonder if Duan Ling Tian would make a move on them. It made them feel anxious and uneasy.
Just when everyone thought Duan Ling Tian was going to kill Yuwen Hao Chen, Duan Ling Tian's expression changed.
Duan Ling Tian's voice sounded in a timely manner, and it was filled with indifference.
"Yuwen Haochen, I'll give you two choices now. The first choice is to swear on the lightning penalty oath and take me as your master. In the future, I'll be your leader! Second, you'll die! "
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, everyone present on the scene was stunned.
Based on Duan Lingtian's words, it seemed like Duan Lingtian intended to kill Yuwen Haochen.
Duan Lingtian intended to let Yuwen Haochen live?
"Thank you!"
Huang Wen Jing sighed in relief when she heard Duan Lingtian's words. She quickly expressed her gratitude to Duan Lingtian.
Because she knew:
This was the biggest concession Duan Lingtian could make.
Although it was slightly insulting to ask her master to acknowledge Duan Lingtian as his master …
However, when Huang Wen Jing recalled Duan Lingtian's strength and his ability to raise the grade of one's Innate Spiritual Root, she felt that Duan Lingtian was not weak at all.
Duan Lingtian was more than qualified to be her master's master.
"There's no need to thank me … You've promised to protect my family if I die, so I owe you a favor. Even if your master survives and acknowledges me as his master, it's still better than killing him. "
Duan Lingtian replied indifferently when he heard Huang Wen Jing's words.
His words were spoken casually, as if he was talking about an unimportant matter.
As a matter of fact, this was indeed an insignificant matter to him.
Duan Lingtian's words were also true.
After all, it was better for him to not kill Yuwen Haochen and let Yuwen Haochen acknowledge him as his master than to kill Yuwen Haochen.
No matter what, Yuwen Hao Chen was still an Eminent Celestial. If Yuwen Hao Chen swore on the lightning penalty oath to serve him, he would gain a lot of help. At the same time, he would be able to control the Wandering Saint Palace.
Whoosh!
Upon hearing Huang Wen Jing thanking Duan Ling Tian and hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, an uproar broke out among the crowd.
"I was wondering why Duan Lingtian would suddenly decide to spare Palace Master Yuwen Haochen! As it turns out, he owes Huang Wen Jing a favor! "
"To think I thought Huang Wen Jing was seeking death by standing up for Palace Master Yuwen. I didn't think she would be able to convince Duan Lingtian to spare Palace Master Yuwen's life!"
"However, Duan Lingtian's suggestion to Palace Master Yuwen is too difficult … He actually wants Palace Master Yuwen to swear on the lightning penalty oath to acknowledge him as his master!"
"Difficult? Think about it, with Duan Lingtian's current strength, killing Palace Master Yuwen would be as easy as killing a chicken. Although his request is difficult, there's no doubt it's the best he can do! I personally think it's reasonable. "
"If I were him, I'd definitely acknowledge him as my master! After all, once I die, I'll lose everything! "
…
Many people discussed among themselves. Some of them thought Duan Lingtian's request was too much, but most of them thought it was reasonable for Duan Lingtian to make such a request.
"So that's how it is."
In the distance, Gan Ru Yan's expression softened as realization dawned on her.
Previously, when she saw Duan Lingtian sparing the life of the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, she had thought Duan Lingtian had shown mercy because he coveted the beauty of Huang Wen Jing, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace's direct disciple.
However, when she heard Duan Lingtian's words, she realized she had misunderstood Duan Lingtian.
As it turned out, Huang Wen Jing had once promised Duan Lingtian that she would protect Palace Master Yuwen's family.
She promised to protect his family after he died!
It was not difficult for her to guess who Duan Lingtian's family was. It was definitely her sister, her niece, and Peng Lai.
Unlike Gan Ru Yan, Kerr's expression remained unchanged from the beginning until the end. It was as though she supported Duan Lingtian's decision unconditionally.
"Acknowledge him as my master?"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Yuwen Haochen was shocked by the promise his direct disciple had made to Duan Lingtian. At the same time, he realized Duan Lingtian had spared his life because of his direct disciple.
However, he could not make up his mind to acknowledge Duan Lingtian as his master.
After all, he was the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, one of the nine great forces in the Human-Devil clan, the Three Palaces and Six Halls. Moreover, he had become an Eminent Celestial.
Naturally, he was reluctant to acknowledge a human as his master.
'I can either acknowledge him as my master or die!'
However, Yuwen Haochen could not help but feel conflicted since he only had two choices.
"I'll give you the span of three breaths. If you don't make a decision after three breaths, I'll kill you!"
Duan Ling Tian frowned when he saw Yuwen Hao Chen's hesitation. He did not want to waste time on this matter so he urged Yuwen Hao Chen to hurry up. His voice was filled with impatience.
"Master!"
Huang Wen Jing, who was afraid her master would rather die than submit, became anxious as well. Her expression changed again and again.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian spoke, the atmosphere changed again. The smell of gunpowder became even more intense as though it would explode at any moment.
Everyone's eyes shifted to Yuwen Haochen in unison.
Within the gazes of the group of people, there was understanding, doubt, bewilderment, and confusion …
At this moment, silence spoke louder than words.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Yuwen Haochen.
"I, Yuwen Haochen …"
Yuwen Haochen gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he swore on the lightning penalty oath to acknowledge Duan Lingtian as his master and serve Duan Lingtian.
In the end, the Palace Master of the Wandering Saint Palace from the Human-Devil clan finally compromised.
However, no one made fun of him for compromising because everyone knew that this was an irresistible trend!
"Phew!"
Huang Wen Jing and the others from the Wandering Saint Palace heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Yuwen Haochen swearing on the lightning penalty oath and acknowledging Duan Lingtian as his master.
Huang Wen Jing heaved a sigh of relief because she knew her master had escaped death.
The others from the Wandering Saint Palace heaved a sigh of relief because they knew Duan Lingtian would not make things difficult for them since their Palace Master had acknowledged Duan Lingtian as his master.
After Yuwen Haochen swore on the lightning penalty oath, Duan Lingtian shifted his gaze away from him and looked at the seven leaders from the One Palace and Six Halls.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian's gaze landed on the seven leaders of the One Palace and Six Halls, his gaze suddenly turned as sharp as a blade. It was as though it could tear everything apart!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
The expressions of the seven leaders from the One Palace and Six Halls changed drastically when they saw Duan Lingtian's gaze.
Following that, the Hall Master of Azure Sheen Hall took the lead and swore on the lightning penalty oath to acknowledge Duan Lingtian as his master. It was as though he was afraid he would anger Duan Lingtian if he swore on the lightning penalty oath too late.
With someone taking the lead, the remaining six people no longer hesitated and swore on the lightning penalty oath to acknowledge Duan Lingtian as their master.
What a joke!
Even Yuwen Haochen, the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace, who was an Eminent Celestial, had sworn on the lightning penalty oath to acknowledge Duan Lingtian as his master. Unless they wanted to die, they had no other choice.
The people from the One Palace and Six Halls heaved a sigh of relief when they saw their Palace Masters and Hall Masters swearing to acknowledge the god-like man as their master.
Only the high-ranking officials of Great Spirit Palace, including Xing Yuan Ba, the Vice Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, were shocked when they saw Duan Ling Tian did not look at them at all.
"Lord Duan Lingtian!"
Finally, Xing Yuan Ba, the Vice Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, stepped forward and looked at Duan Lingtian anxiously.
He said respectfully, "The Great Spirit Palace is also willing to acknowledge you as our master, Lord Duan Lingtian!"
At this moment, this tall and muscular man, the strongest person below the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Human-Devil clan, had to lower his head in front of Duan Lingtian.
Xing Yuan Ba stepped forward because he had always been the second most powerful person in the Great Spirit Palace. Now that Shi Nanfeng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, was dead, it was only natural that he was the one in charge of the Great Spirit Palace.
"Great Spirit Palace?"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian glanced at Xing Yuan Ba lazily and said indifferently, "If anyone from the Great Spirit Palace can provide me with any useful information about the whereabouts of the people from the Azure Cloud Mansion, I'll spare their lives.
Otherwise, all of you can go with Shi Nanfeng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace. At least, you can accompany him on the road to hell. "
When Duan Lingtian finished speaking, his tone was as calm as ever. It was as though he was talking about something ordinary.
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, the expressions of the people from the Great Spirit Palace changed drastically.
"Run!"
As soon as Xing Yuan Ba, the Vice Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, heard Duan Lingtian's words, he knew he would not be able to escape death if he continued to stay here.
For this reason, he ordered the high-ranking officials from the Great Spirit Palace to flee.
Useful information about the whereabouts of the people from the Azure Cloud Mansion?
How would they know?
If they knew, they would have told Shi Nanfeng, the Palace Master of Great Spirit Palace, and the people from the Azure Cloud Mansion would have been killed by them.
At this moment, Xing Yuan Ba was still hoping for a fluke.
If the people from the Great Spirit Palace fled in different directions, perhaps one or two of them would be able to escape. He might even be one of them!
As it turned out, Xing Yuan Ba was too naive.
Perhaps, he had underestimated Duan Lingtian's current strength.
As soon as Xing Yuan Ba shouted, the people from the Great Spirit Palace began to make their moves.
"Trying to escape?"
