"You … You're looking for me?"
Duan Lingtian asked indifferently. "Li An."
"How dare you!"
Ji Fan shouted as soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking. His gaze was as cold as a sword as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"How dare you address my grandmaster by his name? Do you really think you're from a powerful clan in the central area?
Ridiculous! "
Ji Fan's tone was filled with mockery and disdain as he spoke.
"Hm?"
Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Situ Ming, and Tie Tai He were stunned when they heard Ji Fan's words.
What did the Arhat of the Blissful Sect mean?
What did he mean by saying Duan Lingtian was from a powerful clan in the central area?
Was it possible that Duan Lingtian was not from a powerful clan in the central area?
"What do you mean by that?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a frown on his face when he heard Ji Fan's words.
However, Duan Lingtian could already guess what was going on.
'It seems like the people from the Blissful Sect have investigated me thoroughly. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to act like this in front of me!
They must have confirmed that I'm not from a powerful clan in the central area. '
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"What do you mean?"
The sneer on Ji Fan's face deepened when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. "Duan Lingtian, the Blissful Sect's intelligence network hasn't been idle for the past few years. We've infiltrated the Wasteland and investigated your background.
"You are not someone from a big family in the central area!"
"You're just an 'Ascender' who ascended from the mundane realm!"
As Ji Fan spoke, he emphasized each word as if he was announcing something. Towards the end, the disdain and ridicule in his eyes grew even more intense. In fact, it had even reached a point of no return.
"What?!"
"Master Duan … is an ascender?!"
Upon hearing Ji Fan's words, Bai Ping, Situ Ming, and Tie Tai He could not help but burst into laughter. At the same time, they looked at Ji Fan as if they were looking at an idiot.
Master Duan from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was not even 100 years old.
This was a publicly acknowledged fact.
Moreover, Master Duan of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was a prominent Celestial Alchemist who could refine the Overarching Heaven Pill. His alchemy skills were well-known in the Six Southeastern Regions.
He was even publicly acknowledged as the number one prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions!
Moreover, Master Duan of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!
Less than a hundred years old.
The number one prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions.
Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
How could such an existence be an Ascender?
"Arhat, we might have believed you if you said that Master Duan is the direct disciple of the Southern Heaven Territory's Titled Deity Emperor, the Southern Heaven Divine Emperor. However, you said that Master Duan is an ascender. Do you think we're stupid?"
Situ Ming sneered as he looked at Ji Fan.
"That's right!"
Tie Tai He chimed in, "A prominent Celestial Alchemist who's not even 100 years old? Moreover, he's an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial … Let alone the Spirit Overarching Heaven, even if you can find someone like him in the other 80 Devata Realms, I'd still be willing to chop my head off and let you kick it like a ball!"
Tie Tai He's tone was filled with disbelief. He did not believe Ji Fan's words at all.
"Ridiculous!"
Although Bai Ping was a man of few words, it was clear that he shared Situ Ming's and Tie Tai He's views on this matter.
"You … You don't believe me?"
Ji Fan felt wronged when he saw Bai Ping and the others looking at him as though he was an idiot. He felt like his lungs were about to explode.
Duan Lingtian laughed.
"Fan 'er, what's the point of arguing with them? If it wasn't for the Blissful Sect's investigation, we wouldn't have believed Duan Ling Tian had just ascended not long ago. "
Li An looked at Duan Lingtian calmly as he spoke to Ji Fan.
"There's no need for you to argue with them. Don't forget that we're here for Duan Lingtian. There's no need for us to care about the others. "
Towards the end, Li An's tone was filled with indifference towards Bai Ping and the other two.
Bai Ping and the others' expressions turned unsightly when they heard Li An's words.
However, although Li An's words were serious, it was not enough for the three of them to believe Ji Fan's words.
After all, they did not think Duan Lingtian had just ascended.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Li An looked at Duan Lingtian and said in a deep voice, "I'm here on behalf of the Blissful Sect … We've investigated your background. We'll give you two options. "
Before Duan Lingtian could reply, Li An continued to say, "You'll join the Blissful Sect.
The first option is for you to join the Blissful Sect and become a Revered Elder. The Blissful Sect won't mistreat you.
The second option is for you to die! "
Killing intent flashed in Li An's eyes when he spoke of the second option.
Duan Lingtian's heart skipped a beat when he saw the killing intent in the eyes of a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke. For a moment, he felt as though he was on the brink of death.
Duan Lingtian felt uneasy when he saw Li An's expression.
"Even if I'm an ascendant, can't I be from a powerful clan in the central area?"
Duan Ling Tian still had a calm expression as he looked at Li An and said indifferently.
"Pfft!"
Ji Fan could not help but laugh when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. "Duan Ling Tian, things have already escalated to this point, and yet, you're still thinking of pretending to be a member of a great clan in the central area?"
"It seems like you aren't willing to give up … Since that's the case, I'll tell you something else. The Blissful Sect has conducted a thorough investigation of those who have been to the central region, and we've gained a certain level of understanding of the major clans in the central region."
However, the Duan Clan of the Crimson Firmament isn't in the central area! "
Ji Fan said.
"It seems like the Blissful Sect has put in a lot of effort … However, do you think the Blissful Sect would be able to find out that the Duan Clan of the Crimson Firmament is a hidden clan in the central area?"
Duan Lingtian said indifferently.
Before Ji Fan could refute his words, Duan Lingtian looked at Li An and said with a faint smile on his face, "If I'm not mistaken, even if I choose the first option given to me by the Blissful Sect, I'm afraid the Blissful Sect won't spare my life after I've served the sect for a few years, right?
There's no need to deny it. Don't tell me the Blissful Sect would spare someone who could threaten the Blissful Sect in the future? "
A hint of wisdom flashed in Duan Lingtian's eyes when he finished speaking.
"You're very smart."
Li An's expression changed again when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. The killing intent in his eyes intensified as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. "You could've lived for a few more years …" Li An said coldly.
Unfortunately, you're too smart … You'll die today! "
As soon as he finished speaking, killing intent flashed from Li An's body. His Celestial Origin Energy surged like a torrential river around him, emitting waves of terrifying aura.
As soon as the aura of a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke appeared, Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er shuddered involuntarily.
Situ Ming's expression changed drastically as well.
Even Bai Ping and Tie Tai He, two Seven Star Celestial Dukes, paled slightly when they felt the pressure from Li An's Celestial Origin Energy.
Li An was not an ordinary Nine Palaces Celestial Duke.
In the Six Southeastern Regions, he was known to be invincible among those who were not Ten Directions Celestial Dukes.
His aura was not something ordinary Nine Palaces Celestial Dukes could compare to.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sound of wind whistling in the air rang in the air. Bai Ping and Tie Tai He exchanged a look before they moved to stand in front of Duan Lingtian.
"Sect leader, Elder Tie …"
Duan Lingtian did not expect Bai Ping and Tie Tai He would stand in front of him to protect him even though he was no match for Li An.
A warm feeling rose in his heart when he saw this.
"Sect leader, Elder Tie … This is between me and him. It has nothing to do with you."
Duan Ling Tian said to Bai Ping and Tie Tai He. He knew they would not be able to stop Li An, the strongest Nine Palaces Celestial Duke in the Six Southeastern Regions.
"Master Duan."
Bai Ping said in a deep voice, "I don't care if you're a transcender or a member of a powerful clan in the central area. All I know is that you're the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!
Therefore, no matter who it is, they'll have to go through me if they want to kill you! "
Bai Ping's tone was firm and unshakable.
Although Tie Tai He didn't say anything, his tall body stood motionlessly beside Bai Ping. This clearly showed his attitude.
"Humph!"
Li An scoffed. "Do you think two puny Seven Star Celestial Dukes like you can stop me from killing Duan Lingtian?"
As soon as Li An finished speaking, he moved like a shadow and appeared in front of Bai Ping and Tie Tai He.
"Therefore, no matter who it is, they'll have to go through me first if they want to kill you!"
Bai Ping's tone was firm and unshakable.
Although Tie Tai He didn't say anything, his tall figure stood motionlessly beside Bai Ping, which clearly showed his attitude.
"Humph!"
Li An snorted. "Do you think two puny Seven Star Celestial Dukes like you can stop me from killing Duan Lingtian?"
As soon as Li An finished speaking, he moved like a shadow and appeared in front of Bai Ping and Tie Tai He.
