When the whispers of the Megrez Peak disciples entered into Wu Yongqian's ears, it caused Wu Yongqian's face to go livid, and his pair of fierce eyes flickered with dense rage.
This Duan Lingtian crippled his right arm, causing him to be dragged down because of this, and his future accomplishments were worrying.
His dream since he was young was to succeed his foster father's position and become the Peak Master of the Seven Star Sword Sect's Megrez Peak.
But now it would seem that all of this would become an extravagant hope!
"Duan Lingtian, if it wasn't for you, I'd surely be able to become the Peak Master of Megrez Peak in the future … It's all because of you."
Wu Yongqian's heart was filled with rage, rage to the limit, and wished for nothing more than to tear Duan Lingtian into pieces before burning his bones and scattering his ashes.
As far as he was concerned, it was Duan Lingtian that destroyed his life!
Duan Lingtian frowned when he noticed Wu Yongqian's ghastly and hateful gaze, then said indifferently, "Wu Yongqian, you seem to hate me?"
"Hmph!"
Although Wu Yongqian didn't say anything, but a cold snort was sufficient to display his hatred towards Duan Lingtian.
"Wu Yongqian, although I crippled your arm … But you have to understand one thing clearly. On that day, if it wasn't for you stubbornly resisting and being unwilling to stop, your right arm wouldn't have been crippled! "
Duan Lingtian looked at Wu Yongqian with a calm gaze. "So, the greatest responsibility for your right arm being crippled is on you … If you abandoned your sword a moment earlier, you would at most be lightly injured. It was your conceit, your arrogance, that completely and completely destroyed yourself! "
On that day, when Wu Yongqian fought Duan Lingtian, he'd used his right hand to wield his sword. Duan Lingtian was extremely clear in his heart what effect a crippled right arm would have on Wu Yongqian.
But he didn't have the slightest feeling of guilt!
On that day, it was because Wu Yongqian was too conceited and was unwilling to abandon his sword for a long time that caused him to fall to such an end.
Moreover, from the beginning until the end, the conflict between him and Wu Yongqian was caused by Wu Yongqian's foster father, the Peak Master of Megrez Peak, Wu Dao.
If not for this, he would not have fought with Wu Yongqian.
But now, sensing Wu Yongqian's hatred for him, Duan Lingtian realized that Wu Yongqian didn't think so.
Wu Yongqian had clearly pushed all the blame onto him.
"Duan! Ling! Heavens! "
Hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Wu Yongqian gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with hatred and killing intent, vicious and cold.
"Didn't the Peak Lord want to see me? Why aren't you leading the way? "
Duan Lingtian calmly glanced at Wu Yongqian and said indifferently.
Wu Yongqian shuddered when he heard this, and only now did he recall the proper business. He suppressed the flames of rage that had reached the limit in his heart before turning around and intending to take Duan Lingtian and leave Megrez Peak.
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian!"
At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the direction of the cable bridge, causing Duan Lingtian to stop in his tracks.
Duan Lingtian glanced over.
A Megrez Peak disciple was walking over from the other side of the cable bridge, and when the Megrez Peak disciple saw Duan Lingtian, his eyes lit up and he walked over in large strides.
With just a glance, Duan Lingtian recognized this Megrez Peak disciple.
Ye Xiaobei!
Duan Lingtian remembered this name clearly.
On that day, he'd come to the Trade Hall with the intention of selling the pile of medicinal pills he obtained as a reward for the first place in the outer court martial competition …
At that time, Ye Xiaobei and another Megrez Peak disciple had a conflict for the things in his possession.
In the end, Ye Xiaobei domineeringly took out 10 million gold and fiercely threw it at the Megrez Peak disciple's face, causing the latter's face to be covered in blood.
Duan Lingtian still remembered that scene clearly until now.
It was precisely because of this that he had such a deep impression of Ye Xiaobei.
"Ye Xiaobei."
Duan Lingtian nodded and smiled to Ye Xiaobei as he greeted him.
"Duan … Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, you … You still recognize me?"
Ye Xiaobei was stunned when he heard Duan Lingtian, then he seemed as if he'd been injected with stimulants, and his face flushed red from excitement.
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. Is it so exaggerated?
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, congratulations on passing the inner court disciple test and becoming an inner court disciple."
Ye Xiaobei smiled as he congratulated Duan Lingtian, then said with an expression of adoration. "Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, I heard that during the inner court disciple test, you empty-handed swung up the ninth level Origin Core Stage fierce beast, the Violent Ape, and randomly smashed it … In the end, you smashed the Violent Ape to the point it knelt down and begged for mercy before you!"
Ye Xiaobei was extremely excited as he spoke.
Duan Lingtian was speechless when he heard this.
Why is it getting more and more ridiculous?
At that time, the Violent Ape didn't kneel down and beg for mercy, that was the ape clan's etiquette of submission.
Ye Xiaobei didn't intentionally conceal his voice, and the surrounding crowd of Megrez Peak disciples heard it.
Empty-Handed swung up the ninth level Origin Core Stage fierce beast, the Violent Ape, and randomly smashed it?
Smashed the Violent Ape to the point it knelt down and begged for mercy?
For a moment, the gazes of all the Megrez Peak disciples that descended onto Duan Lingtian became extremely strange.
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!
…
Sounds of gulping down saliva in astonishment rose and fell.
After a short moment, these Megrez Peak disciples reacted to what had happened, and as expected, it caused an uproar.
"Is Senior Brother Duan Lingtian really a human?"
"I heard that those formidable demon beasts of legend are even able to transform into human form, and are called Demons. Could it be that Senior Brother Duan Lingtian is one of those demon beasts that has transformed into human form? "
"No wonder Senior Brother Duan Lingtian has such a monstrous cultivation at such a young age, so it turns out that he was originally a Demon!"
…
As they finished speaking, all the Megrez Peak disciples nodded in all seriousness.
In their eyes, the accomplishments that Duan Lingtian had obtained so far were utterly not something a normal human could obtain …
At least, in the history of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, there had never appeared an eighth level Origin Core Stage martial artist that was at the same age as Duan Lingtian!
Duan Lingtian was speechless when he heard the discussions of these Megrez Peak disciples.
How did he become a Demon?
"Hmph!"
Ye Xiaobei frowned, then looked at the crowd of Megrez Peak disciples and felt indignant for Duan Lingtian. "What nonsense are all of you talking about? How could Senior Brother Duan Lingtian possibly be a Demon!? If he was a Demon, do all of you think that all of you would still be alive? Do all of you think that there's anyone in the Seven Star Sword Sect that's still alive? "
"Demons are existences that demon beasts have transformed into human form … According to legend, they're omnipotent! Do all of you think that there's a need for a Demon to sneak into our Seven Star Sword Sect? Would a Demon have the leisure to sit here and listen to all of you talk nonsense? "
As he finished speaking, Ye Xiaobei's voice was powerful and resonating.
Duan Lingtian was surprised.
The current Ye Xiaobei undoubtedly had a trace of an additional bearing in his eyes …
Although it was only faintly discernible, Duan Lingtian was able to discern it.
This was the bearing of a person in a high position!
Looks like this Ye Xiaobei isn't simple.
Right, a figure that's able to casually take out 10 million gold, how could he be an ordinary person?
As soon as Ye Xiaobei finished speaking, the Megrez Peak disciples present all started pondering.
"Yeah, according to legend, demons that are capable of transforming into human form are all demon beasts that have stepped into the fourth Void Stage, the Void Transformation Stage! If an existence at the Void Transformation Stage wants to, then not to mention our Seven Star Sword Sect, even if all the experts of the entire Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom came out in full force, it would probably still not be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. "
"Oh, I almost forgot about that. How could an existence at the Void Transformation Stage possibly have such leisure? "
"You're right."
…
Through Ye Xiaobei's reminder, the group of Megrez Peak disciples reacted.
Duan Lingtian nodded and smiled to Ye Xiaobei, then followed up to Wu Yong Qian who had a gloomy expression and was slightly impatient from waiting, and stepped onto the chain bridge to leave Megrez Peak.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian followed behind Wu Yong Qian to arrive at the main peak, Dubhe Peak.
They once again arrived at Megrez Hall.
Megrez Hall's audience hall.
The Peak Master, Wu Dao, stood in the audience hall with his back facing the outside of the audience hall.
"Foster Father, Duan Lingtian has arrived."
At the entrance of the audience hall, Wu Yong Qian who stood together with Duan Lingtian spoke respectfully.
"Come in."
At the same time that Wu Dao spoke, Duan Lingtian followed behind Wu Yong Qian to walk into the audience hall.
"Peak Master."
Duan Lingtian lightly nodded to Wu Dao, and it could be considered to be a greeting.
"Duan Lingtian, we meet again."
Wu Dao's eyes flickered as he stared at Duan Lingtian and slowly spoke.
"I wonder why Peak Master has come looking for me?"
Duan Lingtian went straight to the point, and his eyes were calm and without splendor.
"Duan Lingtian, since you're so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush."
Wu Dao spoke frankly. "That day, you defeated someone stronger than you and killed the former number one disciple in the outer court, Shi Hao. Later on, you defeated someone stronger than you and defeated this useless foster son of mine, but you didn't cripple his arm … I'm extremely curious, exactly what method did you use to defeat someone stronger than you!? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Dao's gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian, and it was filled with burning yearning.
Although Duan Lingtian was already mentally prepared on the way here.
But when it was really time for Wu Dao to ask, slight fear still arose within Duan Lingtian's heart.
Looks like there's another person in the Seven Star Sword Sect that coveted his things.
The first person was none other than the Megrez Peak's outer court elder, Zhao Lin.
Now, there was another Wu Dao.
He could disregard Zhao Lin.
But this Wu Dao was the Peak Master of Megrez Peak, he played an important role in the Seven Star Sword Sect and possessed extraordinary ability …
He had no choice but to fear him.
Duan Lingtian was able to notice that Wu Dao's gaze was currently focused on him, seeming to be observing the changes in his expression, wanting to know if he would lie.
Duan Lingtian felt disdain towards this.
Controlling the changes in his expression was extremely easy to him.
"Peak Master."
Duan Lingtian fearlessly looked Wu Dao in the eye and smiled indifferently. "Actually, this is my greatest secret. But, since Peak Master wants to know, then even if I say it, or even share it, it's nothing … "
Say it?
Share it?
Wu Dao's face revealed a smile when he heard Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, looks like I really misjudged you the last time … Not bad, you're very sensible. So long as you're willing to share that ability, then even if we don't have the fate of being master and disciple, I'll surely take care of you in the Seven Star Sword Sect in the future. "
The nearby Wu Yong Qian's face sank when he heard Wu Dao, then he looked at Duan Lingtian and frowned, and a wisp of jealousy and hatred appeared on his face.
"Then I'll thank Peak Master first."
Duan Lingtian nodded and a brilliant smile appeared on his face.
"Go ahead."
