He refused.
As Duan Lingtian spoke, the entire audience fell deathly silent.
The surrounding core disciples and inner sect elders only thought that Duan Lingtian didn't know what was good for him. But at the same time, they wondered why the Sect Master didn't execute Duan Lingtian.
It was fine if the Sect Master didn't execute Duan Lingtian, but why didn't Elder Feng and Elder Lei express their stance?
Who could tell them what was going on?
"Duan Lingtian!"
Tang Chun's complexion changed. He never imagined that Duan Lingtian would directly refuse the 'light punishment' that their Hidden Fog Sect Master had given him. Moreover, he even threatened to no longer be a disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect from this day forth. Wasn't this the same as publicly leaving the Hidden Fog Sect?
Just as the Hidden Fog Sect's Second Elder Wu Fengyin and the other Hidden Fog Sect disciples thought that the Hidden Fog Sect Master would be enraged by Duan Lingtian's words, they saw Qian Yin calmly look at Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, whether or not you want to leave the Hidden Fog Sect is your freedom.
"But, even if you aren't a disciple of our Hidden Fog Sect today, it is impossible for our Hidden Fog Sect to do nothing after killing one of our disciples.
"Imprisoning you is only a small punishment.
"Whether it is now or when you enter Elder Feng's small world, we will allow you to communicate with the outside world … you can ask your elders to come and resolve this matter. If we are satisfied, we can let you go."
The current Qian Yin only thought that Duan Lingtian didn't understand his good intentions.
The reason he did this was because he didn't want to offend the influence behind Duan Lingtian. The second reason was because he wanted to take the Hidden Fog Sect's face into consideration.
But, it was impossible for him to let Duan Lingtian go like this.
Moreover, Elder Feng and Elder Lei wouldn't be willing.
Elder Feng and Elder Lei could be considered to have compromised now. And, the reason they compromised was because they feared the influence behind Duan Lingtian.
If the power behind Duan Lingtian was strong enough to scare them, they would let Duan Lingtian leave unharmed.
If the influence behind Duan Lingtian couldn't threaten their Hidden Fog Sect, but they still feared him, then they would ask for compensation.
If the strength behind Duan Lingtian was something their Hidden Fog Sect didn't need to fear.
They would kill Duan Lingtian without hesitation!
And now, as the Hidden Fog Sect's Sect Master Qian Yin spoke out, the surrounding people were suddenly enlightened. "This Duan Lingtian, it seems his background isn't small."
"As I said, even if Sect Leader was willing to let this Duan Lingtian off, Elder Feng and Elder Lei would definitely not let this matter go … However, they have indeed let this Duan Lingtian off for the time being. Just now, I couldn't figure out the reason even after racking my brains. Now that Sect Leader has spoken, I finally understand. They are afraid of Duan Lingtian's background. "
"Isn't this Duan Lingtian from a Devata Realm? What kind of background does he have in the Mystic Handle Land? "
"Don't forget, it's not just the Mystic Handle Land. Even in the various Divine Realms, there are many forces formed by people from Devata Realms. There are even God Emperor and Godly Venerable level forces!"
"To be able to make Sect Leader afraid and make Elder Feng and Elder Lei temporarily let go of the grudge of killing their disciple, it seems like Duan Lingtian's background isn't simple."
…
Now, the surrounding Hidden Fog Sect's core disciples and inner sect elders were enlightened. They finally understood why Elder Feng and Elder Lei and the Sect Leader hadn't executed Duan Lingtian.
As for the Hidden Fog Sect's Second Elder, Wu Feng Yin's expression changed again and again.
Now, he understood as well.
However, it was also because of this that his heart turned cold.
This Duan Lingtian actually had a background that made the Hidden Fog Sect's three elders fear?
One had to know that the three elders of the Hidden Fog Sect could represent the entire Hidden Fog Sect … In other words, Duan Lingtian's background was enough to make the entire Hidden Fog Sect fear him?
And his disciple, Tu Feng, had become a life and death enemy with such a person?
Now, Wu Feng Yin's heart was in a panic.
What to do?
What to do?
If this Duan Lingtian left the Hidden Fog Sect alive and wanted to deal with him in the future, wouldn't he die without a doubt?
Or should he leave the Hidden Fog Sect, leave the Tung Leng Province, change his name, and find a place to stay?
Thinking of this, Wu Feng Yin made a decision in his heart.
At this moment, he no longer had any thoughts of being enemies with Duan Lingtian. He only wanted to hide and avoid Duan Lingtian looking for him to settle accounts.
Duan Lingtian naturally didn't know what Wu Feng Yin was thinking.
In fact, the current him had already thrown Wu Feng Yin, the Honorable Master of the inner sect disciple Tu Feng, to the back of his mind.
"There is no need."
Duan Lingtian calmly looked at the Hidden Fog Sect's Sect Master Qian Yin. He lightly said, "Sect Master Qian Yin, you are well aware of the ins and outs of this matter.
"Today, if I were killed by them, what would happen to them if I didn't have a background?"
As Duan Lingtian spoke, the corners of his lips curled up in a mocking smile.
"I'm afraid that only if I have a background that the Hidden Fog Sect and Elder Feng and Elder Lei fear will your Hidden Fog Sect be willing to hand them over and pay with their lives for me?
"If I were only an ordinary Hidden Fog Sect disciple, even if they violated the Hidden Fog Sect's rules and killed me, the Hidden Fog Sect wouldn't execute them, right?"
Duan Lingtian's mocking smile deepened.
The toughness of his attitude and the confidence he had was shocking.
As for Duan Lingtian's words, many of the inner sect Elders bitterly smiled. This was because they knew that Duan Lingtian was speaking the truth.
Even if most of them were killed by Shangguan Xiongfeng and Long Xiao, the sect wouldn't make them pay with their lives.
After all, the two of them had a good Honorable Master.
"Imprisoning you is our Hidden Fog Sect's bottom line."
Qian Yin's eyes flashed with a cold light as he spoke.
This was also what Qian Yin had discussed with Elder Feng and Elder Lei. It was impossible for them to allow Duan Lingtian to leave unscathed.
After all, up until now, they had only heard rumors that Duan Lingtian had a great background; they hadn't confirmed it yet.
If Duan Lingtian didn't have a great background, then wouldn't it be a great loss for them to let Duan Lingtian go?
Thus, they all wanted to imprison Duan Lingtian first. If Duan Lingtian really did have some sort of background, then they could find someone to save him.
If he didn't have any background, then it wouldn't be too late to execute him.
"Sect Master, why are you speaking so much nonsense with him?"
Elder Lei opened his mouth, his voice filled with impatience. "Just let Elder Feng capture him and send him into the small world in his body."
"If he resists and isn't willing to enter Elder Feng's small world, then Elder Feng can seal his cultivation and imprison him in Elder Feng's cultivation area.
"Let's leave this matter to his elders," said Lin Yun.
As Elder Lei's voice fell, Elder Feng's robes suddenly fluttered. Then, a terrifying cold wind swept out from his body, howling towards Duan Lingtian.
At the same time, Elder Feng lifted his hand. He casually waved his hand, planning to bind Duan Lingtian and bring him in front of him.
Facing Elder Feng's attack, Duan Lingtian had an indifferent expression, as if he didn't see anything.
When this scene fell into the eyes of everyone, they naturally thought that he had been scared silly.
"This … can already be considered the best ending. There's no need to worry about that girl Wuyan. "
Seeing this, Tang Chun let out a sigh of relief. This was because he felt that as long as Duan Lingtian called over the Elders behind him, he would be able to regain his freedom.
For a short period of time, even if Duan Lingtian was imprisoned, their Hidden Fog Sect's Sect Master and the two Highest Elders, Elder Feng and Elder Lei, wouldn't dare to rashly move against him.
Bang!
With the sudden sound of a storm, Elder Feng's attack was interrupted before Duan Lingtian could even touch Duan Lingtian.
"Who is it!?"
Elder Feng's complexion changed. As for Elder Lei, he had already shouted out. As for the Hidden Fog Sect's Sect Master, Qian Yin, he looked around with a dignified expression.
"Haha … the Hidden Fog Sect has fallen to the point where several old fellows are bullying a junior?"
With a burst of laughter, a figure as fat as a ball stepped down from the air. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Duan Lingtian.
"Linghu Huan?!"
Seeing the fat old man in front of them, Elder Feng and Elder Lei's complexions changed. They subconsciously looked into the sky.
This was because according to their understanding of this fat old man, it was impossible for him to appear by himself.
As for the Hidden Fog Sect's Sect Master, Qian Yin, everyone from the Hidden Fog Sect followed Elder Feng and Elder Lei's gazes and looked into the sky. At the same time, they also saw the figure that suddenly appeared in the sky.
Compared to the fat old man who appeared a moment ago, this old man was incomparably thin. He stood there, his aura restrained. If they hadn't seen him with their own eyes, they wouldn't have noticed when he had appeared.
Hu!
The thin old man's figure flickered and he arrived beside the fat old man, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Linghu Heng!"
Elder Feng's and Elder Lei's eyes turned vigilant. "Why are you here? You trespassed into our Hidden Fog Sect. Are you trying to incite conflict between our Hidden Fog Sect and your Linghu family? "
"Linghu Heng?"
"Just now, Elder Lei seemed to call that fat old man 'Linghu Huan' … could he be the Linghu family's Heng and Huan Elders?"
"The Linghu family's Heng and Huan Elders? Those are the two strongest people in the Linghu family. They are twins and once they join forces, it is said that even the four Grand Elders of our Hidden Fog Sect, Feng, Lei, Yun, and Wu, would find it difficult to defeat them! "
"Why would they be here? Moreover, for them to appear at this time … could they be here for Duan Lingtian? "
"Could it be that Duan Lingtian's background is the Linghu family?"
"That's impossible … if Duan Lingtian is a member of the Linghu family, then why would he enter our Hidden Fog Sect? Isn't it because he has nothing better to do? "
…
After learning the identities of the two old men who appeared, the core disciples and inner sect elders couldn't help but whisper amongst themselves.
Linghu Heng and Linghu Huan, these two people were even more famous than the Hidden Fog Sect's Grand Elders Feng, Lei, Yun, and Wu.
"Chi!"
The fat old man Linghu Huan looked at Elder Feng and Elder Lei and sneered with disdain. "If we weren't here, I'm afraid our Linghu family would have been imprisoned by your Hidden Fog Sect today."
