Duan Lingtian's expression was terrifyingly gloomy.
Initially, when he found out the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had not arranged a marriage for Murong Bing, he sighed in relief even though he found Zhou Shu Qiu boring.
But he did not expect that:
Although the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect did not arrange a marriage for Murong Bing, she was still in danger from her stubborn master.
"A person who had once killed the direct disciple that she had groomed since young … to kill another direct disciple of a similar level, to her, it would definitely not be something that she could not bear to do!"
Because of this, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but worry about Murong Bing's safety.
"How long do you think the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect can delay the appointment of the successor?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Zhou Shuqiu and asked.
"Eight or ten years at most."
Zhou Shu Qiu sighed and said, "This is because it has always been the tradition of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect to appoint a successor when the time is right. Even if the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is deliberately delaying it, the high-ranking officials of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect won't agree to it."
"Are you so sure the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect will help her?"
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes.
"Definitely!"
Zhou Shu Qiu said confidently, "It's because she only told the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect about you before she told me. For this reason, the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is delaying the appointment of the successor of the sect.
Although she's not the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect treats her like her own daughter. Bing 'er told me that the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is her mother. "
Zhou Shuqiu said.
"If that's the case, can't the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect stop her master from harming her?"
Duan Lingtian asked in a deep voice.
In Duan Lingtian's opinion, the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect held a high position in the sect. How could she not stop the sect from punishing Murong Bing?
"I can't stop it."
Zhou Shu Qiu shook her head and said, "Put aside Bing 'er's master whose cultivation base is not inferior to the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, there's also a Ten Directions Celestial Duke in the sect.
"The Ten Directions Celestial Duke is Bing 'er's master's father!"
"So, you should be able to imagine the stakes involved …"
Zhou Shuqiu said with a grim expression on her face.
Ten Directions Celestial Duke!
When Zhou Shuqiu mentioned the Ten Directions Celestial Duke, Duan Lingtian's heart skipped a beat.
Ten Directions Celestial Dukes were peak Celestial Dukes. They were only a step away from becoming Celestial Kings.
Previously, when he was chatting with the young man with the surname Pei, he had heard that the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had at least one Ten Directions Celestial Duke. The sect was much stronger than the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.
"How many Ten Directions Celestial Dukes are there in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"That one."
Zhou Shuqiu added.
"One?"
Duan Lingtian's expression changed slightly.
He did not expect this.
Not only was Murong Bing's master powerful, but her father was also a Ten Directions Celestial Duke in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect!
After all, the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect only had one Ten Directions Celestial Duke.
The Ten Directions Celestial Duke was also the strongest person in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.
As the daughter of the strongest person in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, even if Murong Bing's master was not the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect would not dare to provoke her.
Instantly, a strong feeling of danger enveloped Duan Ling Tian's heart, and it didn't disperse for a long time.
"Duan Lingtian."
Zhou Shuqiu looked at Duan Lingtian and said solemnly, "Although I don't know how you managed to make the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect acknowledge you as the Chief Celestial Alchemist …
However, I think it's because you have your own methods. For this reason, I hope you can take Bing 'er away from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect before her master finds out about her. "
When Zhou Shuqiu reached the end of her sentence, her eyes were filled with anticipation as she looked at Duan Lingtian.
"I'll do it even if you don't tell me that."
Duan Lingtian said.
"I'm relieved to hear that."
Zhou Shuqiu sighed in relief.
"There's one more thing …"
After a while, Zhou Shuqiu seemed to have recalled something. She looked at Duan Lingtian and said, "Duan Lingtian, I managed to convince my junior aunt to look for you because I told her I'd like to try my best to convince you to join the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect.
If my junior aunt mentions this when we return, please cooperate with her. "
Zhou Shuqiu said.
"Since you promised your junior aunt, why don't you try to convince me to join the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect?"
Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at Zhou Shu Qiu meaningfully when he heard her words.
"Even if I did, would you agree to join the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect?"
Zhou Shuqiu asked.
Duan Lingtian fell silent when he heard Zhou Shuqiu's question.
Indeed.
Even if Zhou Shuqiu tried to persuade him to join the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, he would not agree since he had many things to consider.
After waiting outside the main hall for a while, Duan Lingtian and Zhou Shuqiu returned to the main hall.
As soon as they entered, Duan Lingtian saw Liu Liu Liu looking at Zhou Shuqiu.
A hint of anticipation could be seen in the depths of her eyes when she saw Liu Yanjun, the Supreme Elder of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, looking at Zhou Shuqiu.
Zhou Shuqiu shook her head when she saw Liu Yanjun looking at her.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian noticed the anticipation in Liu Yan Jun's eyes was replaced by disappointment. It was as though she was disappointed in something.
"Sect Leader Bai, Enforcer Tie, Alchemist Duan … I apologize for taking the liberty to visit you."
When Zhou Shu Qiu returned to Liu Yan Jun's side, Liu Yan Jun bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian and the others before she left the main hall with Zhou Shu Qiu.
As for Tie Tai He, he followed them and saw them off.
"Sect leader, aren't you curious why Zhou Shuqiu came looking for me?"
Duan Lingtian asked after he had chatted with Bai Ping for a while.
"She must be trying to persuade you to join the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, right?"
Bai Ping asked with a smile.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "That's the main reason."
"However …" Bai Ping paused for a moment.
Bai Ping suddenly thought of something and asked, "Master Duan, when Zhou Shu Qiu spoke to you earlier, she mentioned Murong Bing … If I'm not mistaken, she's the genius disciple from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, right?"
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian was not surprised that Bai Ping knew about the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect and Murong Bing.
After all, Bai Ping was the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
Although the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was not as powerful as the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, a sect like the Tai Yi Celestial Sect would definitely know something about the sect.
Bai Ping was just about to ask Duan Ling Tian about his relationship with Murong Bing when Zhou Shu Qiu mentioned Murong Bing when Zhou Shu Qiu mentioned Murong Bing.
"Sect leader!"
Outside the main hall, a voice sounded. It was Tie Tai He who had returned.
"Hm?"
Bai Ping and Duan Ling Tian were slightly taken aback by Tie Tai He's return.
After a while, they walked out of the main hall and learned that the people from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect had returned as soon as the two people from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect had left. The person in the lead was none other than the leader of the group from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect.
He was also the former Sect Leader of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and the only Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke in the sect.
He was also known as the Golden Buddha!
"Guardian Tie, come with me to welcome Senior Yun Shan."
When Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, learned about Soaring Cloud Mountain's arrival, he did not dare to be negligent. He immediately greeted Tie Tai He and prepared to bring Tie Tai He to welcome Soaring Cloud Mountain.
"Master Duan, do you want to come with us?"
Bai Ping did not forget about Duan Ling Tian who was standing next to him after he greeted Tie Tai He.
"Let's go and have a look."
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as he nodded. "I also want to meet the Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect …"
Each of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland had an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke.
However, the Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect was considered dead by most people in the Wasteland. Moreover, he had died more than 3,000 years ago.
For this reason, the arrival of the Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect had caused a huge commotion in Tai Yi City. Many people were shocked by his arrival.
After a while, Duan Lingtian, Bai Ping, and Tie Tai He left the prominent Celestial Island to welcome Soaring Cloud Mountain, the Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
"Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, greets Senior Yun Shan."
"Tie Tai He, the Left Guardian Of Dharma of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, greets Senior Yun Shan."
When they saw Soaring Cloud Mountain, both Bai Ping and Tie Tai He immediately bowed respectfully to Soaring Cloud Mountain. From the beginning to the end, they did not dare to show the slightest disrespect.
Although they were Seven Stars Celestial Dukes, they were still Seven Stars Celestial Dukes.
However, Soaring Cloud Mountain was an Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke, someone who was above them.
Let's put this aside for now.
Based on Soaring Cloud Mountain's seniority, Soaring Cloud Mountain was worthy of their respect.
While Bai Ping and Tie Tai He bowed and greeted Soaring Cloud Mountain, Duan Lingtian was sizing up Soaring Cloud Mountain. He was a tall and burly bald monk dressed in a golden kasaya.
However, unlike the benevolent appearance of ordinary monks, this monk had a ferocious face and an extremely fierce expression. Ordinary people might not even dare to look directly at him.
"Duan Lingtian greets Senior Teng."
Just as Duan Lingtian was about to greet Soaring Cloud Mountain, Soaring Cloud Mountain turned to look at Tie Tai He and asked coldly, "You're Tie Tai He?"
Before Tie Tai He could react, Soaring Cloud Mountain heard Duan Lingtian's greeting. His eyes instantly shifted to Duan Lingtian.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian felt as though he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian discovered Soaring Cloud Mountain's gaze was filled with killing intent.
Teng Yunshan's ferocious eyes were filled with extreme killing intent as he stared at him …
