A helpless and bitter smile appeared on Sun Liang Peng's face when he saw Duan Ling Tian picking up the rattan armor that emitted a green light.
"This … This seems to be a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon that has been nurtured by a Celestial Lord."
A sneer appeared on Duan Ling Tian's face when he discovered the rattan armor was a purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapon that had been nurtured by a Celestial Lord. 'Tsk tsk … I can't believe the person who hired the Blood Skull Gang to kill me is a King Grade Celestial Weapon!'
"Sect leader, you're not going to pretend that you don't recognize this King Grade Celestial Weapon, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at Sun Liang Peng meaningfully.
"This King Grade Celestial Weapon belongs to the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, Wang Qian Zhan … Naturally, I only know he has this King Grade Celestial Weapon. I'm not sure if he gave it to anyone else."
Sun Liang Peng replied.
"The Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, Wang Qian Zhan?"
Duan Ling Tian raised his brows. "I remember … Sect Leader, you seemed to have said earlier that if I didn't appear, one of the three people most likely to seize the position of a true disciple that I have now is the Grand Elder's granddaughter, Wang Hong."
"Can I take it that the Grand Elder was the one who gave the King Grade Celestial Weapon to Wang Hong? As for Wang Hong, she gave it to the Blood Skull as a reward for killing me. "
After all, if the Grand Elder wanted to kill me, he wouldn't have asked someone else to do it. If he really wanted to kill me, he could've done it himself! "
Duan Ling Tian looked at Sun Liang Peng and explained his analysis word by word.
"There's no way it's the Grand Elder!"
Sun Liang Peng said decisively, "However, it's highly unlikely that it's Wang Hong. After all, if she wanted to kill you, she could've asked the Grand Elder to do it. Why would she go to the trouble of hiring someone from the Blood Skull Gang?
"Why don't you come with me? We'll go find the Grand Elder and ask him who he gave the Jade Light Armour to."
As soon as Sun Liang Peng finished speaking, he beckoned Duan Lingtian over to look for the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
Before leaving with Sun Liangpeng, Duan Lingtian raised his hand and put the pile of things back into his storage ring.
After all, these were the spoils of war left behind by the One Basic Celestial King of the Blood Skull Gang. Many of them were extremely valuable. Naturally, he would not throw them away.
Apart from the Jade Light Armor, there were also a few purely defensive King Grade Celestial Weapons that had been nurtured by Celestial Lords. Apart from the Jade Light Armor, there were also a few King Grade Celestial Weapons left behind by the Blood Skull Gang's assassins.
There were even more King Grade Celestial Weapons.
…
Wang Qian Zhan, the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. Based on his name, it was easy to imagine a muscular figure.
However, Wang Qianzhan himself was extremely thin. If he were even thinner, he would be nothing more than skin and bones.
Ever since Duan Lingtian had arrived in the Simplicity Celestial Sect, apart from the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang, he had never seen anyone skinnier than Wang Qian Zhan.
"Sect leader."
As the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, he immediately bowed and greeted Sun Liang Peng.
At the same time, he instinctively looked at the purple-clad young man standing next to Sun Liang Peng.
"Grand Elder."
Sun Liang Peng greeted Wang Qian Zhan with a smile on his face. Then, he introduced Duan Lingtian to Wang Qian Zhan. "This is Duan Lingtian. I'm sure you've heard of him, Grand Elder."
"Of course, I've heard of him. With Duan Lingtian's achievements at such a young age, he's definitely a rare genius in the Profound Nether Mansion. It's a blessing for the Simplicity Celestial Sect to have him join us!"
Wang Qian Zhan said as he nodded at Duan Lingtian with a smile on his face.
"Grand Elder."
Duan Lingtian greeted Wang Qian Zhan. Then, without any warning, he took out a rattan armor that shone with a green light.
Sun Liang Peng was taken aback by Duan Lingtian's actions.
"Jade Light Armor!"
Wang Qian Zhan exclaimed in surprise as soon as Duan Lingtian took out the rattan armor. Then, he looked at Duan Lingtian curiously and asked, "Duan Lingtian, how did you obtain this Jade Light Armor?"
"I remember … I used it to exchange for some rare materials to inscribe Celestial Talismans before I left the Profound Nether Mansion three years ago."
Wang Qian Zhan replied.
As soon as Duan Lingtian took out the rattan armor, he stared at Wang Qian Zhan intently, hoping to find some clues from Wang Qian Zhan's expression.
Alas, he did not notice anything amiss.
It was as though Wang Qian Zhan was truly shocked by the appearance of the Jade Light Armor.
"Grand Elder, are you sure you gave away this Jade Light Armor three years ago?"
Sun Liang Peng asked.
Wang Qian Zhan nodded immediately. "I remember it very clearly. At that time, I exchanged for more than ten rare materials to inscribe Celestial Talismans …"
"Duan Lingtian, are you acquainted with the sectless cultivator who exchanged for the materials to inscribe Celestial Talismans with me?"
Wang Qian Zhan looked at Duan Lingtian in shock before he continued to say, "If that's the case, it seems like we're fated to meet."
"Grand Elder, do you have any evidence to prove that you gave away this Jade Light Armor three years ago? Moreover, you exchanged it for materials to inscribe Celestial Talismans with a sectless cultivator. "
Duan Lingtian looked at Wang Qian Zhan calmly and asked in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Evidence?"
Wang Qian Zhan frowned. "I don't have any … However, I'm certain the Jade Light Armor in your hand is the same as the one I had in the past. The veins and auras on it are identical."
Most King Grade Celestial Weapons were unique.
Even for King Grade Celestial Weapons that looked similar to each other, if one were to look closely, one would be able to see the differences in the inscriptions and auras on them.
'Could it be that Wang Qian Zhan isn't lying?'
After a long time, Duan Ling Tian could not help but speculate inwardly. 'Or perhaps, the sect leader had secretly sent a message to Wang Qian Zhan on the way here so Wang Qian Zhan was prepared for this?'
If Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, was cooperating with Wang Qian Zhan, then it would be impossible for him to track down the person who hired the Blood Skull Gang to assassinate him.
"Grand Elder!"
At this moment, Sun Liangpeng opened his mouth and told Wang Qianzhan the whole story with a solemn expression.
He told Sun Liang Peng about the Jade Light Armor that Duan Lingtian had obtained from the Blood Skull Gang's assassin's Spatial Ring.
"What?!"
"Blood … Blood Skull Gang?!
"A consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?!"
…
While Sun Liang Peng was speaking, Wang Qian Zhan was frightened. His expression changed constantly, giving people a feeling of uncertainty.
'If Wang Qian Zhan was lying to me … With his acting skills, he's definitely an award-winning actor on earth.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself as he looked at Wang Qian Zhan calmly.
"If that's the case, it's very likely that the Jade Light Armor was obtained from the sectless cultivator who traded with the grand elder three years ago."
Sun Liang Peng speculated.
"That should be the case."
Wang Qian Zhan nodded. Then, he looked at Duan Lingtian with a pained expression on his face as he said, "Duan Lingtian, even if you were worried that the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang would kidnap your friend, you should've informed the sect leader.
If you were worried that the sect leader and the other Celestial Kings in the sect's estate would be exposed, you could've asked the sect leader to send a message to the Celestial Kings outside the sect to help you.
There's no need for you to use a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. Even if he's an assassin from the Blood Skull Gang, it's not worth it for a One Basic Celestial King. "
It was clear Wang Qian Zhan felt sorry for Duan Lingtian for using a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon.
Earlier, Sun Liang Peng had only said that Duan Lingtian was worried that someone from the Simplicity Celestial Sect had hired the Blood Skull Gang. He did not mention that Wang Hong, Wang Qian Zhan's granddaughter, was the prime suspect.
For this reason, Wang Qian Zhan's emotions did not fluctuate at all from the beginning until the end.
'It seems like I've come for nothing …'
Duan Ling Tian casually bade farewell to the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect and the Grand Elder of the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect before he left indifferently and returned to his courtyard.
Regardless of whether Wang Qian Zhan was lying or not, Duan Lingtian did not have any evidence to prove that Wang Hong had paid the Jade Light Armor to the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang.
'However, if I find out in the future that Wang Hong really paid the Jade Light Armor to the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang … Wang Qian Zhan, since you're protecting your granddaughter today, I'll make sure you and your granddaughter die a graveless death!'
When he returned to the cultivation courtyard, the killing intent in Duan Ling Tian's eyes was awe-inspiring, as if he was about to devour someone.
If he did not possess a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, he would not have been a match for the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang.
For this reason, he was eager to find out who had hired the assassin from the Blood Skull Gang to kill him.
His target was Wang Hong, the granddaughter of Wang Qian Zhan, the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect. Once he had evidence, he would not let this matter rest.
Meanwhile.
Not long after Duan Lingtian left, Sun Liang Peng also left Wang Qian Zhan's residence.
At the same time, Wang Qian Zhan sent a message to his granddaughter, Wang Hong, informing her of Duan Ling Tian and Sun Liang Peng's visit. Not only that, but he also told her about the details.
Meanwhile, Wang Hong was shocked when she received Wang Qian Zhan's message.
"The One Basic Celestial King from the Blood Skull Gang was killed by Duan Lingtian?
He actually has a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon? "
Wang Hong was completely dumbfounded.
Not even in her wildest dreams did she expect this.
When Wang Hong told Zheng Hong Yi about this, Zheng Hong Yi was shocked as well. 'Duan Lingtian actually has a consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon that allows him to possess cultivation base and Divine Consciousness that's comparable to a Celestial Lord?'
Similar to Wang Hong, Zheng Hong Yi also did not expect this.
