"Intentionally?"
Duan Lingtian couldn't refrain from laughing when faced with Wu Yong Qian's hysteria. "You said I intentionally caused the death of Peak Master Wu Dao?"
"Exactly, it was you that caused the death of my foster father!"
Wu Yong Qian's eyes were crimson red and suffused with bloodthirsty killing intent, and he was about to swallow his target.
After glancing at Wu Yong Qian as if he was looking at an idiot, Duan Lingtian looked at Linghu Jin Hong. "Sect Leader, the characteristics of the spirit fruit I described before Peak Master Wu Dao was indeed no different than the spirit fruit I consumed that day … As for the spirit fruit Peak Master Wu Dao found, according to my guess, it ought to only have similar characteristics to the spirit fruit I consumed."
"But, I'm extremely curious. Even I know how to use a silver needle to first test if the spirit fruit is poisonous before daring to consume it … Could it be that Peak Master Wu Dao didn't test the spirit fruit he obtained and directly consumed it?"
Duan Lingtian's tone was filled with bewilderment.
"Peak Master Wu Dao tested that spirit fruit."
Right at this moment, a white haired old man walked out from the group of Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups. The old man had a benevolent expression, and after lightly smiling and nodding to Duan Lingtian, he said, "Peak Master Wu Dao used a silver needle to test the spirit fruit he obtained, but didn't find any toxicity … Later on, he was still worried, so he looked for me and the other alchemy elders to help him."
When he spoke up to here, the old man paused for a moment before continuing. "But according to our tests, that spirit fruit indeed didn't have any toxicity! Now it would seem that the toxicity within that spirit fruit is extremely secretive, and utterly impossible to test … In my entire lifetime, it's still the first time that I, Guan Zhong, know that such a spirit fruit actually exists in the world. "
When he spoke up to here, the old man sighed.
Guan Zhong!
Duan Lingtian's eyes squinted.
According to his knowledge, the one and only grade six alchemist in the Seven Star Sword Sect was called Guan Zhong.
He was also the alchemy elder that controlled the Seven Star Sword Sect's Alchemy Hall.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
…
The sound of people sucking in cold air rose and fell one after another.
It caused the atmosphere on the peak of Dubhe Peak to become slightly oppressive.
"Even Elder Guan Zhong is unable to test the toxicity of that spirit fruit?"
"The Peak Master of Megrez Peak, his luck is truly …"
"It seems that even if we get some kind of spirit fruit in the future, we can't eat it directly. It's best to cut out a small piece and feed it to the ferocious beasts. If the ferocious beasts don't die, then we can eat it."
"If Peak Master Wu Dao knew how to use this method to test for poison, he wouldn't have been poisoned to death."
"Perhaps even Peak Master Wu Dao himself didn't expect that the poison of the spirit fruit couldn't be detected by normal means."
…
The group of Seven Star Sword Sect disciples couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and they all felt that the Megrez Peak's Master, Wu Dao, had died unjustly, and died with grievance.
"Duan Lingtian, you must recognize that kind of spirit fruit, so you deliberately let my master look for it, right?"
Wu Yongqian glared at Duan Lingtian and questioned sternly.
"Idiot!"
Duan Lingtian coldly glanced at Wu Yongqian and calmly said, "Didn't you hear what Elder Guan Zhong said? Even he has never seen or heard of such a spirit fruit … Don't tell me you think my knowledge is better than Elder Guan Zhong's? "
"Moreover, according to my knowledge, there are many spirit fruits that have similar characteristics, but their medicinal strengths aren't the same."
Duan Lingtian looked at Guan Zhong and slowly asked. "Elder Guan Zhong, is it so?"
Guan Zhong nodded. "It's indeed so. There are countless types of spirit fruits in Cloud Continent, but their medicinal strengths aren't the same … According to my knowledge, there are many types of spirit fruits that have similar characteristics to other spirit fruits, and they can practically pass off as genuine! "
As soon as Guan Zhong finished speaking, it caused a stir on the peak of Dubhe Peak as expected.
"Looks like Peak Master Wu Dao ought to have just found a spirit fruit with similar characteristics … But, although the spirit fruit he found has similar characteristics to the spirit fruit Duan Lingtian consumed, its medicinal strength is at two extremes."
"Exactly. The spirit fruit Duan Lingtian consumed gave him an extremely great benefit, causing others to be envious! But the spirit fruit Peak Master Wu Dao consumed was a type of spirit fruit that even Elder Guan Zhong was unable to test the toxicity of. "
"This type of spirit fruit is unheard of! I'm afraid only by allowing a person or beast to personally test the poison would one be able to test the toxicity of this type of spirit fruit … But, when an ordinary person obtains a spirit fruit, would they share it with another person or beast? "
"Peak Master Wu Dao will become the Peak Master of Megrez Peak that died the most aggrieved death in the history of our Seven Star Sword Sect!"
…
The whispers of these Seven Star Sword Sect disciples entered into the ears of Duan Lingtian, and it caused the corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth to be unable to refrain from twitching.
That Wu Dao was indeed unfortunate and died aggrieved.
He was even able to encounter the Soul Severing Fruit.
This fact still caused Duan Lingtian to be slightly unable to recover from his shock, and he felt as if he was dreaming.
At that time, he casually fabricated the toxicity of the Soul Severing Fruit for the sake of brushing off Wu Dao.
But he never imagined that Wu Dao really went to the primeval forest to look for the Soul Severing Fruit …
Even more unexpected was that Wu Dao actually really found the Soul Severing Fruit!
Perhaps, at the moment Wu Dao found the Soul Severing Fruit, his fate was already decided.
"Sect Leader, you already know the sequence of events … If Peak Master Wu Dao really died because of that poisonous fruit, then it can only be said to be a freak combination of factors. I never imagined that there was another type of poisonous fruit within the primeval forest that had characteristics similar to the spirit fruit I consumed, and it was even found by Peak Master Wu Dao. "
Duan Lingtian looked at Linghu Jin Hong as he slowly spoke.
Linghu Jin Hong raised his hand and his Origin Energy roiled before enveloping down and sweeping up the grade six spirit sword, Autumn Water, on the ground …
After a short moment, this grade six spirit sword that originally belonged to the Peak Master of Megrez Peak, Wu Dao, fell into Linghu Jin Hong's hand.
"The Peak Master of Megrez Peak, Wu Dao, mistakenly consumed a poisonous fruit and died, and it's unrelated to anyone else … The grade six spirit sword, Autumn Water, will be temporarily safeguarded by me, and will be left to the next Peak Master of Megrez Peak."
As Linghu Jin Hong spoke up to here, his eyes squinted as he abruptly looked at Wu Yong Qian who was about to speak once more.
The fierce gaze caused Wu Yong Qian to shudder, and he tightly shut his mouth, not daring to say another word …
"Disperse!"
As Linghu Jin Hong's voice sounded out, he announced the end of today's farce.
In the next moment, in the eyes of all the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples, Linghu Jin Hong's figure gradually faded, and he first transformed into a phantom before vanishing without a trace.
"Duan Lingtian, arrive at Dubhe Hall in three days."
At the same time, a warm voice transmission sounded out by Duan Lingtian's ears.
Duan Lingtian was able to discern it.
This was precisely the voice of the Seven Star Sword Sect's Leader, Linghu Jin Hong.
"I'm not resigned, I'm not resigned!!"
After Linghu Jin Hong left, Wu Yong Qian roared as he carried Wu Dao's body and dashed madly down Dubhe Peak …
Everywhere he passed, the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples moved aside.
"I originally thought that Wu Yong Qian had some iron-clad evidence that could prove that it was Duan Lingtian that caused the death of Peak Master Wu Dao … Never had I imagined that in the end, all of this was actually a farce."
"However, we've finally found out the secret of Duan Lingtian defeating a stronger opponent."
"Not only is Duan Lingtian's natural talent in the Martial Dao formidable, his luck is excessively good as well, causing others to be envious!"
…
Amidst the waves of bustling discussion, the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples gradually dispersed.
"Hmph!"
Hu Xue Feng glanced coldly at Duan Lingtian, then gritted his teeth before turning around and leaving with an unwilling expression.
High above in the sky, the group of Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups gradually dispersed as well.
"Duan Lingtian, I'll obtain the Muscle Meridian Rebirth Scroll sooner or later."
Zhao Lin took a deep breath before flying off into the distance.
The peak of Dubhe Peak that was bustling with noise and excitement a moment ago had gone silent for a moment. Only some inner court disciples that stood near the Trade Hall and Duan Lingtian's group remained.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures flashed down from the sky.
The Mizar Peak's Master, Zheng Fan, and the Alkaid Peak's Master, Qin Xiang.
Just as they landed beside Duan Ling Tian and the others, a voice rang out.
Whoosh!
A wave of ear piercing howls of the wind sounded out from behind the clouds and mist in the distance at the peak of Dubhe Peak …
The howls of the wind grew closer and closer!
"Hmm?"
Qin Xiang's beautiful brows frowned slightly as she focused her gaze towards the source of the sound and muttered. "It's a demon beast."
For a moment, Duan Lingtian, Zheng Fan, and the others looked over as well.
In the distant sky, the clouds and mist roiled, and an incomparably swift black figure was passing through the clouds and mist to flash over. Everywhere it passed, it pulled out a long airflow, and its imposing manner shot into the sky like a rainbow.
After a short moment.
That black figure approached the peak of Dubhe Peak.
So long as it passed through a few more layers of clouds and mist, it would appear before the eyes of everyone.
"First level Void Prying Stage demon beast!"
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian's acute Spiritual Force faintly detected the background of this black figure.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force shook, and his face went serious. "This demon beast is carrying a person … It seems to be a seventh level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist!"
Whoosh!
Finally, an enormous black figure passed through the clouds and mist before Duan Lingtian's group, and it appeared to float high in the sky.
"What's that?!"
"It seems to be a demon beast … What demon beast is so audacious to actually dare trespass into our Seven Star Sword Sect!?"
…
At the peak of Dubhe Peak, the inner court disciples nearby the Trade Hall all surrounded over, and they looked up at the enormous black figure in the sky.
Presently, Duan Lingtian's gaze had descended onto the black figure as well.
This was a bird type demon beast that seemed like an eagle yet wasn't an eagle. Its entire body was covered in shiny black colored feathers, and when its wings were spread open, it was like a cloud that covered the sky. The feathers on the tip of its wings were even like sharp blades that flickered with a frightening sheen under the thin sunlight.
It caused one's hair to stand on end.
"Dark Roc!"
In next to no time, some inner court disciples exclaimed in shock.
Dark Roc?
Duan Lingtian started to search the memories of Emperor Wu when he heard this …
After a short moment, he obtained what he wanted to know.
Dark Roc, a Void Prying Stage demon beast, and when it matured to the limit, its strength was comparable to a third level Void Prying Stage martial artist …
Dark Roc was the product of the union between a Roc type demon beast and an Eagle type demon beast.
"Dark Roc possesses the speed of a Roc type demon beast and the attack of an Eagle type demon beast … It's an extremely terrifying demon beast."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
At this moment, he was most curious about the person that sat behind the Dark Roc.
Suddenly.
Whoosh!
The Dark Roc descended from the sky, and the figure that sat cross-legged behind it with a zither on its lap entered into Duan Lingtian's eyes.
All of a sudden.
"Clang!"
