Zheng Hong Yi's reply confirmed the speculation of the high-ranking officials of the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
After all, Zheng Hong Yi was only able to issue a mission to kill Duan Ling Tian through his connections in the Blood Skull Gang.
"The son of a high-ranking official from the Blood Skull Gang … You actually used one of your two chances on me, Duan Lingtian. Should I say it's an honor, or should I say you think too highly of me?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head and clicked his tongue when he heard Zheng Hong Yi's words.
"Duan Lingtian, the winner takes all … I hope you'll keep your promise and give me a quick death!"
Zheng Hongyi said in a deep voice. After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
Duan Lingtian did not hesitate. He raised his hand and ended Zheng Hong Yi's life.
After Zheng Hong Yi's death, Zhang Guang Zheng, one of the Vice Sect Leaders of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, looked at Duan Lingtian worriedly and said, "Duan Lingtian, the Blood Skull Gang has lost two of their assassins. One of them is a Six Combos Celestial King.
I'm afraid they won't let this matter rest. "
Zhang Guang Zheng continued to say, "In the future, don't leave the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate so easily. As long as you're in the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate, even the top assassin organization in the Southern Heaven Territory won't dare to enter the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate."
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded. After this lesson, he knew he was not strong enough. He would not leave the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate unless there was an urgent matter that required him to leave.
Since the Blood Skull Gang had sent a Six Combos Celestial King assassin to kill him, there was no doubt the Blood Skull Gang would not send a Six Combos Celestial King assassin.
In fact, the Blood Skull Gang might even send someone stronger than Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, to wait for him to take the bait.
Moreover, the Blood Skull Gang was wary of the Profound Nether Mansion and did not dare to enter the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate. Otherwise, even the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate would not be safe.
'However, even if I'm in the Simplicity Celestial Sect's estate, it's not necessarily safe. The Grand Elder must be itching to kill me to avenge Wang Hong, right?'
Although Wang Hong's death was purely due to her own actions.
However, according to Sun Liang Peng, Wang Qianzhan was an extremely protective person, and Wang Hong was Wang Qianzhan's only relative.
With Wang Qianzhan's character, there was no way he would let this matter go!
For this reason, Sun Liang Peng even asked him to leave the True Disciple Cultivation Courtyard that he was currently in and go to the mansion that he usually lived in to cultivate.
Sun Liangpeng was worried that Wang Qianzhan would take the risk of killing Duan Lingtian.
When Duan Lingtian heard Sun Liang Peng's words, he even thought about leaving the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
It was not safe inside or outside, so what was the point of him staying here?
However, when he thought about how Sun Liang Peng was willing to sacrifice his own direct disciple for him and even helped him deal with Wang Hong, he dismissed the thought of leaving.
Although Zheng Hong Yi and Wang Hong's actions were despicable, it would not be difficult for Sun Liang Peng to protect them as long as he kept the matter a secret.
Duan Lingtian knew very well that Wang Hong Yi and Wang Hong Yi were unwilling to help him.
The reason why Sun Liangpeng did not protect Zheng Hongyi and Wang Hong was mostly because of him. If it were someone else, Sun Liangpeng might not have done so.
It was fine if Wang Hong Yi had abandoned Zheng Hong Yi.
However, abandoning Wang Hong was equivalent to abandoning Wang Qianzhan.
Duan Lingtian knew Sun Liang Peng only did this because Sun Liang Peng had a bright future ahead of him and wanted to befriend him. Perhaps, Sun Liang Peng might even benefit from Duan Lingtian joining the Profound Nether Mansion.
Regardless, Sun Liang Peng did not benefit from him at all. For this reason, he still owed Sun Liang Peng a favor.
…
After killing Wang Hong and Zheng Hong Yi on behalf of the Enforcement Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, Duan Lingtian did not return to his residence. Instead, he followed Sun Liang Peng back to his residence.
When Duan Lingtian entered Sun Liang Peng's residence, Wang Qian Zhan's expression was extremely unsightly as he hovered in the air above a valley not far away.
"Sect leader, how could you go to such lengths for an outsider? Aren't you afraid of disappointing me?"
Wang Qian Zhan's eyes were bloodshot as he clenched his fists. His Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
It was just as Sun Liang Peng had expected.
Wang Qian Zhan had indeed planned to kill Duan Lingtian and escape from the Simplicity Celestial Sect.
With his many years of accumulation, he was confident he could escape from Sun Liang Peng, the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, and the strongest person in the sect.
However, he did not expect Sun Liang Peng would bring Duan Lingtian back to his residence.
With this, it would be difficult for him to kill Duan Lingtian.
Most likely, before he could even see Duan Lingtian, Sun Liang Peng would have already appeared in front of him and blocked his path.
As the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, Wang Qian Zhan, naturally, knew how heavily guarded Sun Liang Peng's residence was. It was the place where the Sect Leaders of the Simplicity Celestial Sect cultivated. The Formation that was set up in the residence was extremely complex.
Putting aside the Formation, with Sun Liang Peng's cultivation base, it would not be difficult for Sun Liang Peng to notice Wang Qian Zhan's presence.
"Duan Lingtian, if you're so capable, why don't you continue hiding in there? As long as I have the chance, I'll definitely kill you!"
Wang Qian Zhan glared at Sun Liang Peng's residence from afar. His eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Hm?"
As soon as Duan Lingtian entered Sun Liang Peng's residence, he seemed to have sensed something. He turned around and saw a figure hovering in the air above the valley.
"That's …"
Duan Lingtian's eyes widened slightly when he saw the figure.
"It's the Grand Elder."
Sun Liang Peng reminded Wang Qian Zhan in a timely manner, "When I brought you back, I noticed him. He's been keeping an eye on you."
"It seems like my guess is right. He has no intention of letting you go."
Sun Liang Peng said.
"However, before he makes a move on you, according to the sect's rules, I can't do anything to him. After all, he's the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect."
At this point, Sun Liang Peng sighed again, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Although it would not be difficult for him to kill Wang Qian Zhan with his strength …
There had to be a reason for him to kill the Grand Elder of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, right?
Moreover, the high-ranking officials of the Simplicity Celestial Sect were not convinced by the fact that Duan Ling Tian might kill Duan Ling Tian.
As the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, it was not difficult for him to expel Wang Qian Zhan from the sect.
For this reason, even if he knew Wang Qian Zhan could make a move on Duan Lingtian at any time, there was nothing he could do.
"Duan Ling Tian, if you have nothing to do in the future, just stay here and cultivate … If you need to leave my place and go somewhere else in the sect's estate, just let me know, and I'll make arrangements for you to ensure your safety."
Sun Liang Peng said to Duan Lingtian.
This was the only solution he could think of for now.
"It's best if you don't go outside the sect's estate. If the Blood Skull Gang sends another assassin, I'm sure I won't be a match for them. "
Sun Liang Peng said.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
For him, Sun Liangpeng's cultivation environment was almost the same as the cultivation environment of a true disciple's cultivation courtyard. There was no difference between cultivating here and there.
Moreover, he did not care about the cultivation environment at all.
This was because the main branch of the Divine Tree of Life in his heart, which had already recognized him as its master, could grant him cultivation speed that was at the limit of his limits.
Even the Divine Crystal that Huan 'er had left for him could not match his cultivation speed.
Since the Chaos Divine Flame was in a deep slumber, Duan Lingtian discovered his progress in comprehending the law of fire's profundities had slowed down. Therefore, he decided to focus on his cultivation to break through and become a Celestial Duke.
There was a huge gap between an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial and a Celestial Duke.
Once a Celestial Duke became a Celestial Duke, they would be able to create their own Little World. It was said that they would be able to comprehend the law of space through their own Little World.
The law of space was one of the Four Supreme Laws. It was also a law that Celestial Dukes and above could comprehend.
Similar to the law of time, the law of life, and the law of death, the law of space could not be comprehended through Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities. The most common way to comprehend the law of space was to create one's own Little World.
Naturally, there were other ways to comprehend the law of space, but they required great luck and fortuitous encounters.
Time continued to pass by quietly.
Duan Lingtian had completely forgotten about the passage of time as he cultivated.
Unknowingly, his cultivation base was already very close to becoming a Celestial Duke. He was only a step away from becoming a Celestial Duke.
However, this final step was like an insurmountable chasm that he couldn't cross.
He was very vexed by this.
Gasp!
After taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian opened his eyes and temporarily stopped cultivating. Instead, he focused on comprehending the law of fire.
After comprehending the law of fire's Fundamental Profundity, the Fire Elemental Profundity, and the Pillaging Profundity, Duan Lingtian shifted his attention to the law of fire's Burning Profundity.
According to the Chaos Divine Flame, as a Celestial Alchemist, Duan Lingtian could feel the burning sensation of the flame whenever he came into contact with it.
With this, he would be able to comprehend the Burning Profundity much faster than the other profundities.
It was said that time did not exist when one cultivated.
In fact, when one comprehended a profundity, one would not be able to feel the passage of time.
Unknowingly, it had been five years since Duan Lingtian had moved into the Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect's residence.
During these five years, Duan Lingtian had spent most of his time comprehending the law of fire's Burning Profundity. Currently, he was not far away from completely comprehending the Burning Profundity. All he needed was an opportunity.
As for his cultivation base, the bottleneck between a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial and a Celestial Duke had finally loosened.
'It shouldn't be difficult for me to become a Celestial Duke within a year.'
