The Hidden Fog Sect's four Highest Elders represented Wind, Thunder, Cloud, and Mist. They represented the Hidden Fog Sect's strongest martial strength.
Normally, if there wasn't anything important, they would rarely appear. Even for some of the inner sect Elders and core disciples present, this was the first time they had seen the two Highest Elders appear at the same time.
"They … they should be worried about Duan Lingtian's background, so they should be lenient towards Duan Lingtian, right?"
Tang Chun looked at Elder Wind and Elder Thunder and felt his scalp tingle. These two weren't existences that ordinary Highest Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect could compare with.
They didn't need to worry about killing a person in the Hidden Fog Sect.
Of course, if that person had some great background, killing them would threaten them and even the Hidden Fog Sect, then they would definitely have some concerns.
"You are Duan Lingtian?"
The thin old man in blue clothes was Elder Wind. His sharp eyes emitted a calm light as they fell on Duan Lingtian. "Why did you kill my sect's disciple, Shangguan Xiongfeng?"
Almost as soon as Elder Wind's voice fell, a powerful aura swept towards Duan Lingtian.
In that instant, Duan Lingtian felt a strong pressure press down on him. But, he clenched his teeth and withstood it.
Duan Lingtian looked at Elder Wind without fear. He lightly said, "I didn't know Shangguan Xiongfeng. He blocked my path for no reason and stole my two Revival Good Fortune Pills. But today, when I spoke of this matter, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and wanted to kill me.
"I was just defending myself. I didn't think he would be so useless. I killed him with a single sword strike."
As soon as Duan Lingtian spoke, Tang Chun's complexion changed. He never thought that Duan Lingtian would dare to speak like this in front of Elder Wind.
And in that instant, everyone present could clearly feel a cold wind blow through the area. It was like the temperature of the entire core disciple area had dropped by a great deal.
Elder Wind's blue clothes fluttered. He coldly said, "What evidence do you have that my sect's disciple, Shangguan Xiongfeng, stole your Revival Good Fortune Pills for no reason?"
"Does a Heart Demon Blood Oath count?"
Duan Lingtian took a deep look at Elder Feng as the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.
Heart Demon Blood Oath!
When Duan Lingtian said that, everyone present couldn't help but glance at Elder Feng cautiously. After all, Duan Lingtian had even brought out the Heart Demon Blood Oath. This meant that he was confident in everything he said and wasn't afraid of the Heart Demon Blood Oath.
In an instant, the cold wind at the scene became stronger and colder.
Elder Feng's green robes were already fluttering in the wind. His eyes had also gradually turned sharp.
"Then why did you kill my disciple, Long Xiao? I heard that … he didn't attack you at all. It was you who attacked him and even killed him! "
When Elder Feng suddenly quietened down, Elder Lei opened his mouth. His voice was like a clap of thunder. Sound waves rolled out, condensed, and pierced into Duan Lingtian's ears, causing Duan Lingtian's eardrums to tremble. His body also involuntarily trembled.
However, Duan Lingtian was still able to withstand it.
If it were an ordinary lower God King, they might not have been able to withstand it. But, he wasn't an ordinary lower God King. His physical fitness wasn't bad to begin with. In addition, he had fused with the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword and cultivated the Pine Willow God Tree's divine image. The strength of the God Tree of Life had also tempered his body to a certain extent. Thus, let alone a lower God King, even an ordinary God Sovereign might not be able to compare with him.
"Long Xiao?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze shifted to Elder Lei. He faintly smiled. "Elder Lei might not know, but several months ago, Long Xiao came to find me. He told me to kneel and walk 10 miles to your cultivation ground to beg you to become his disciple. There was no lack of threats in his words.
"I pretended to agree and left the Hidden Fog Sect. When he learned that I had appeared in King Descent City, he went to King Descent City to search for my whereabouts. He stayed in King Descent City for a long time, waiting for me to show up.
"Today, as soon as I returned, he came looking for me, saying he wanted to kill me …
"Since he wants to kill me, do I have to leave him alive and give him a chance to kill me?"
Speaking of this, Duan Lingtian deeply looked at Elder Lei. "I can take responsibility for everything I say … I can make a heart demon blood oath.
"As for whether it is true or false, I'm sure Elder Lei already knows."
Duan Lingtian calmly said.
As for Duan Lingtian's calmness, as it fell into Elder Feng and Elder Lei's eyes, it seemed a bit unfathomable.
This was because unless Duan Lingtian had some great background, they couldn't figure out where Duan Lingtian's confidence came from.
Trying to reason with them?
That would depend on whether the other party had enough cards in their hands.
If Duan Lingtian was only an ordinary Hidden Fog Sect disciple without any background, then no matter how high his talent or perception was, they would have already killed him. They wouldn't have bothered with him at all.
The reason they hadn't done anything yet was because they feared that Duan Lingtian had some great background behind him.
"Duan Lingtian."
After Elder Feng and Elder Lei exchanged sound transmissions with the Hidden Fog Sect's Sect Master, Qian Yin, Qian Yin stepped forward. He faintly glanced at Duan Lingtian. "You killed Shangguan Xiongfeng and he tried to kill you. This is pardonable.
"But, although Long Xiao said he wanted to kill you, he didn't do anything. Perhaps that was just a joke.
"As for you, because of his words, you took the initiative to kill him.
"This is already a violation of the Hidden Fog Sect's rules.
"So, after discussing this with Elder Feng and Elder Lei, we decided to imprison you … you will be imprisoned in Elder Feng's small world.
"Do you accept this punishment of mine?"
Qian Yin, Elder Feng, and Elder Lei exchanged sound transmissions. Although the two of them wished they could kill Duan Lingtian as soon as possible, they still had to consider the overall situation.
Thus, they decided to imprison Duan Lingtian and not kill Duan Lingtian.
Like this, if Duan Lingtian had some great background, they would naturally send a message to inform his Elders to come save him.
And if no one came to save Duan Lingtian, it wouldn't be too late to kill him after some time had passed and take revenge for Shangguan Xiongfeng and Long Xiao.
"This …"
The onlooking core disciples and inner sect elders were all stunned. They had never expected this to be the result.
Duan Lingtian had killed Shangguan Xiongfeng and Long Xiao, but he was only imprisoned?
As far as they were concerned, Duan Ling Tian would be directly executed.
"How is this possible?"
The Hidden Fog Sect's Second Elder, Wu Feng Yin, had a look of disbelief. He subconsciously wanted to interrupt, but as he thought about how he didn't have the qualifications to interrupt in front of these three and question their decision, he immediately shut his mouth.
"Mm?"
Duan Lingtian was also stunned. He originally thought that since he had killed Shangguan Xiongfeng and Long Xiao, Elders Feng and Lei would definitely kill him.
At that time, the Linghu family's Elders Heng and Huan would rescue him. He would then leave the Hidden Fog Sect and join the Linghu family.
But he never imagined that Elders Feng and Lei wouldn't kill him.
Moreover, they only decided to imprison him.
What was going on?
Duan Lingtian couldn't figure it out.
Now, he carefully observed Elders Feng and Lei's eyes. It wasn't hard to discover that their eyes contained an icy killing intent aimed at him.
Since they wanted to kill him, why didn't they make a move?
Were they worried about something?
Could it be that they had discovered that Elders Heng and Huan were hiding in the shadows?
Were Elders Heng and Huan's concealment skills so poor?
"Duan Lingtian!"
As Duan Lingtian heard Qian Yin's words, he was startled. Before he could respond, a sound transmission entered his ears from behind Qian Yin.
It was Tang Chun's sound transmission.
"The Sect Master and Grand Elders Feng and Lei have made this decision because they want to give you a chance to inform your elders … if your elders can make them lower their heads, they will definitely let you go.
"If they don't fear the background behind you … then you will be mercilessly killed by them!
"So … hurry up and inform your elders."
These were Tang Chun's exact words.
"Elders? What elders? "
Duan Lingtian was startled. "Elder Tang Chun, what do you mean?"
He didn't respond for a moment.
Tang Chun was infuriated when he heard this. "Duan Ling Tian, it's already come to this. Don't hold back anymore."
"I've already obtained news from the Zhong Family. Your background isn't ordinary.
"In the past, at Skywind City's Zhou Family auction, the young girl who acted intimately with you had a Divine Emperor powerhouse protecting her.
"According to what Vice Sect Master Murong said, that Divine Emperor powerhouse's strength is likely no weaker than any of our Hidden Fog Sect's Feng, Lei, Yun, and Wu Great Elders.
"Previously, when I found out that Shangguan Xiongfeng and Long Xiao wanted to kill you, I immediately looked for Vice Sect Leader Murong and asked him to send a message to the Sect Leader to inform Elder Feng and Elder Lei to stop them from killing you."
"But I never imagined that not only were you not killed by them, but you even managed to kill them … moreover, in such a short period of time."
As Tang Chun spoke, he was speechless. He had been worried that Duan Lingtian would be killed, but now it seemed that he shouldn't have been worried about Duan Lingtian, but Shangguan Xiongfeng and Long Xiao.
"So that's how it is."
After Tang Chun's sound transmission, Duan Lingtian was finally enlightened. So the reason Elder Feng, Elder Lei, and even the Hidden Fog Sect Master Qian Yin hadn't executed him was because of the young girl he had met in Skywind City who called him big brother, Duan Qiaoyu.
It was the same as the Zhong Family.
The three high level figures of the Hidden Fog Sect all feared Duan Qiaoyu's background.
"If they knew that I only met Duan Qiaoyu by chance and didn't know what her background was … perhaps they wouldn't hesitate to kill me."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"Duan Lingtian, this is the sect's punishment for you. Are you satisfied?"
Seeing Duan Lingtian ignore him for a long time, the Hidden Fog Sect Master Qian Yin's complexion turned ugly. He even reminded him, "This is the sect's bottom line!"
Duan Lingtian looked at Qian Yin once more. His eyes were indifferent as he calmly said, "Sect Master, from today onwards, I am no longer a disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect … so, I, Duan Lingtian, refuse the punishment your Hidden Fog Sect has decided to give me."
Imprisoned in Elder Feng's small world?
What a joke!
He naturally wouldn't agree to such a thing.
He didn't have a background that Qian Yin, Elder Feng, and Elder Lei would fear. Once he was imprisoned, even the Linghu family's Heng Huan Elders wouldn't be able to rescue him.
