"Is there any meaning in doing this?"
Elder Yun shook his head when he heard Elder Feng's words. "You've captured Duan Ling Tian because you can't stop him from sending messages. Once he sends a message to the Linghu Clan, won't they know it's you who captured him?"
"At that time, the Linghu family will definitely come knocking on our door."
Elder Yun said.
"If they come looking for him, do we have to return him to them?"
Elder Wind didn't comment. "We just need to ignore them. Duan Lingtian can't see them and they can't save him. Do you think they can use our Hidden Fog Sect disciples to threaten us?
"If they really dare to touch our Hidden Fog Sect disciples, I don't mind paying a visit to the Linghu family."
Elder Wind coldly sneered.
"That's right."
Elder Thunder nodded. "Moreover, we can renege on our debt and say we never saw Duan Lingtian … as for why Duan Lingtian said we captured him, perhaps he was threatened by someone? Perhaps he wants to slander us and incite conflict between our Hidden Fog Sect and the Linghu family? "
Hearing Elder Zephyr's words, whether it was Elder Yun, Elder Wu, or the Hidden Fog Sect's Sect Master Qian Yin, they all felt their obsession.
It was clear they couldn't stop them.
At this moment, Elder Wu who had been silent all this while finally spoke. He looked at Elder Feng and Elder Lei and said, "I have to remind both of you … If you don't have absolute confidence, don't think about killing Duan Ling Tian."
"It's fine if this news doesn't spread out, but once it does, if there really is a colossus behind Duan Lingtian, it won't just be you who will suffer a loss, but the entire Hidden Fog Sect.
"Moreover, even if you have the confidence to kill him without exposing yourselves, you can't act rashly … otherwise, as long as you aren't an idiot, anyone will suspect you."
As Elder Wu spoke to here, his tone became heavier. "If you want to act soon, find a chance to capture Duan Lingtian. But, you absolutely cannot kill him.
"Old Wu, you aren't the only one who is worried about the Hidden Fog Sect. Old Feng and I are too."
Elder Lei glanced at Elder Wu and said, "Otherwise, do you think we wouldn't have attacked him today?"
"The one who was killed by him was the disciple we doted on the most."
"Furthermore … didn't you hear me say that I would capture Duan Lingtian and not kill him?"
"If I were to make a move … as long as that Duan Lingtian leaves the Linghu family mansion and doesn't have a Godking by his side, I'm confident that I can kill him without anyone discovering that I'm the one who killed him!"
As he spoke, Elder Lei's tone was filled with pride and confidence.
"It's decided then."
Seeing the elders arguing, Qian Yin, the Sect Master of the Hidden Fog Sect, quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. "We'll do as Elder Lei says and capture Duan Lingtian, not kill him."
"If we can confirm that Duan Lingtian has no other background besides the Linghu family, we'll kill him to comfort the souls of Elder Feng and Elder Lei's two disciples in heaven!"
…
"Granduncle, where's Duan Lingtian?"
Tang Wuyan was waiting outside the core disciples' cultivation area with the other inner sect disciples. When he saw the group of inner sect elders come out, he immediately looked for his granduncle, Tang Chun.
Tang Chun looked at the worried Tang Wuyan and said, "Don't worry … Duan Lingtian is fine."
"Then where is he?"
Tang Wuyan asked.
"He … was taken away by the Linghu family."
Tang Chun said.
"The Linghu family?"
Tang Wuyan was stunned. "How did he get involved with the Linghu family again? Could it be that the Sect Master and the others asked the Linghu family to kill Duan Lingtian? "
Tang Wuyan's expression changed again as she guessed.
Tang Chun was speechless. "Girl, didn't I tell you that Duan Lingtian is fine? What are you thinking? "
"The Linghu family took Duan Lingtian away to save Duan Lingtian."
"Otherwise, even if Duan Lingtian didn't die now, he would definitely be imprisoned until his elders came to save him."
"Now that the Linghu family took him away, there's no need to trouble his elders."
Tang Chun was almost certain that Duan Lingtian had an extraordinary background.
It wasn't just because of the young girl who appeared at the Zhou family's auction in Wind City, but also because of the talent and comprehension that Duan Lingtian had displayed.
In his opinion, it was very normal for a monstrous genius like Duan Lingtian to have an extraordinary background.
"Why would the Linghu family suddenly appear there?"
Tang Wuyan had too many questions in her mind.
After Tang Chun told her the ins and outs of the matter, she finally understood. "It was the Linghu family's Elders Heng and Huan who took him away … But why would they say that Duan Lingtian is a member of the Linghu family?"
"When did Duan Lingtian join the Linghu family?"
Tang Wuyan frowned.
Tang Chun didn't say anything when he heard Tang Wuyan's words. He only had one guess in his mind, and it was inconvenient to tell Tang Wuyan about it.
"Could it be … Linghu Chuyin?"
However, when Tang Wuyan spoke again, he was taken aback because Tang Wuyan had the same idea as him.
After the Heng and Huan Elders took Duan Lingtian away, he had been racking his brains to think of the connection between Duan Lingtian and the Linghu family.
First of all, since Duan Lingtian came to the Hidden Fog Sect through Wind City's Hidden Fog Academy, it meant that he didn't have any connection with the Linghu family.
Otherwise, he could have just gone directly to the Linghu family.
With his talent and comprehension, the Linghu family couldn't give him less than what the Hidden Fog Sect could give him.
Then, if he really wanted to talk about the connection between Duan Lingtian and the Linghu family, it seemed that the only thing that happened in Junlin City was the incident that happened last time.
Duan Lingtian publicly courted the Linghu family's number one beauty, Linghu Chuyin.
"This time, he came back to kill Shangguan Xiongfeng and Long Xiao. I'm afraid he planned it all out long ago … As for his escape route, he has already calculated it all.
"And his confidence comes from the Linghu family's Heng and Huan Elders.
"Him joining the Linghu family should be related to Linghu Chuyin … Of course, his willingness to join the Linghu family shouldn't be just because of Linghu Chuyin, but also because he wants to kill Shangguan Xiongfeng and Long Xiao.
"If he is still a disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect, even if he doesn't die after killing Shangguan Xiongfeng and Long Xiao, he will be imprisoned and wait for the elders of the faction behind him to come and save him."
These were all Tang Chun's thoughts.
"Girl, forget about him … He is not suitable for you."
When Tang Chun came back to his senses and saw the desolate expression on Tang Wuyan's face, he sighed and advised, "You and he are not people of the same world."
…
When Duan Lingtian left the Hidden Fog Sect with the Linghu family's Heng and Huan Elders, he was naturally in a carefree mood.
Whether it was Shangguan Xiongfeng or Long Xiao, they were both like mountains that pressed down on his chest, often suffocating him.
But now, they were both killed by him, so his mood was naturally smoothed out.
"Little fellow, you are truly ruthless … not only did you kill that old madman's disciple, Shangguan Xiongfeng, but you also killed that Hidden Fog Sect's Elder Lei's disciple, Long Xiao."
Within the Divine Emperor level flying ship, Linghu Huan looked at Duan Lingtian. He clicked his tongue and said, "I'm afraid your name will be recorded in the annals of the Hidden Fog Sect. You will be known as' Unprecedented, Unsurpassed '."
"Killing one is the same as killing two."
Duan Lingtian faintly smiled. "Moreover, is there a difference between killing one and killing two?"
Duan Lingtian's principle of conduct had always been that if others didn't offend him, he wouldn't offend them. But if others offended him, he would return the favor tenfold or a hundredfold!
In the past, Shangguan Xiongfeng had stolen two Revival Good Fortune Pills from him for no apparent reason, causing him to walk the path of becoming a Divine King.
But that was fine.
But today, Shangguan Xiongfeng had exposed his past actions. Shangguan Xiongfeng flew into a rage out of humiliation and wanted to kill him.
The moment Shangguan Xiongfeng attacked, Duan Lingtian had already sentenced him to death in his heart.
As for Long Xiao.
Last time, when Duan Lingtian perfunctorily dealt with Long Xiao, he knew that he had offended him. And today, as soon as he returned, Long Xiao came knocking on his door, wanting to kill him.
To him, this sort of person was a great hidden danger.
You want to kill me?
I'm sorry, but in order to protect myself, I can only make the first move.
"You are decisive. Little fellow, your future is limitless."
As Linghu Huan heard Duan Lingtian's words, he didn't know how to respond for a long time. Finally, he lifted his fat right hand and gave Duan Lingtian a thumbs up.
"They don't dare to kill you."
Suddenly, Linghu Heng who had been silent all this while looked at Duan Ling Tian and spoke.
"That's right!"
At this time, Linghu Huan also remembered something. He revealed a curious expression and asked, "Duan Lingtian, according to my understanding of the Hidden Fog Sect's Elders Wind and Thunder, they aren't good people."
"If it were an ordinary Hidden Fog Sect disciple, no matter how high their talent or perception was, they would have killed their sect's disciple to avenge their disciple."
"But, they didn't kill you."
"Why?"
The curiosity in Linghu Huan's eyes became increasingly strong.
Whether it was Linghu Huan or Linghu Heng, although they had been hiding in the dark since early on, they could only watch from afar. It was difficult for them to hear what was happening at the scene.
Thus, they only saw that the Hidden Fog Sect's Elders Wind and Thunder didn't kill Duan Lingtian. They didn't hear the whispers of the Hidden Fog Sect's Elders and disciples. They didn't know that Elders Wind and Thunder feared Duan Lingtian's' background 'and thus didn't dare to kill Duan Lingtian.
Even later, when the Hidden Fog Sect's Elder Wind attacked Duan Lingtian, he did so in an extremely gentle manner. Let alone killing him, it was more like he didn't want to injure Duan Lingtian. He only wanted to capture Duan Lingtian.
However, at that time, Linghu Huan couldn't help but appear.
"I'm afraid that my little sister will cause trouble for them after she dies."
Duan Ling Tian said unhurriedly in the face of Elder Heng and Elder Huan's curiosity.
At the same time, the young girl named 'Duan Qiaoyu' he met in Skywind City appeared in his mind once more.
Who exactly was she?
Not only did she have an older brother who looked like him, but she was also very friendly, as if she really treated him as her older brother.
