Sect Guarding Revered Elder!
Just these four words were enough to show how powerful this Great Roc was.
"Elder Peng."
Duan Lingtian looked at the Roc and called out.
The Roc nodded to him, then it spread out its wings and lightly swept them.
In that instant.
Whoosh!!
The air outside Dubhe Hall seemed to have been completely sucked dry, and dust that covered the sky shot out and suffused the air …
"Let's go!"
The Seven Star Sword Sect's Leader, Linghu Jin Hong, called out to Duan Lingtian and the others before being the first to leap onto the Roc's wide back that was like flat ground.
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian and the others ascended the back of the Roc one by one.
After they descended onto the back of the Roc, Duan Lingtian could guess what was going to happen next …
This Roc was the Seven Star Sword Sect's Guarding Revered Elder Peng, and it would carry their group to the Demonic Lotusblade Sect!
The Martial Competition of the five great sects this time would be held at the Demonic Lotusblade Sect.
The Demonic Lotusblade Sect was similar to the Seven Star Sword Sect, and was similarly one of the five great sects of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
If it was said that over 90% of the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples used swords.
Then over 90% of the Demonic Lotusblade Sect disciples used sabers instead.
Right at this moment, the Roc spread its wings that were like clouds that covered the sky …
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Roc flapped its wings and its enormous body soared into the sky, and it brought along Duan Lingtian's group of seven to leave the Seven Star Sword Sect's main peak, Dubhe Peak …
Whoosh!
The Roc's figure flashed as its speed suddenly sped up, and it seemed to have transformed into a bolt of lightning that pierced through the clouds and mist as it flashed out.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
Duan Lingtian only heard the piercingly cold sound of strong winds enter into his ears, and the fierce strong winds assaulted his face and slapped his cheeks.
However, Duan Lingtian remained unmoved.
He stood there without moving like a mountain.
Along with the Roc's speed increasing, Zheng Song was the first to be unable to endure the strong winds that assaulted him, and his face went pale as his body lightly trembled.
Then it was Meng Qiu.
"Hmph!"
Huang Ji, who had been clenching his teeth and persevering, glanced at the calm Duan Lingtian and clenched his teeth.
Now, he was also on the verge of collapse.
But when he saw Duan Ling Tian facing the piercingly cold gale that assaulted him as if nothing had happened, he was unwilling to admit defeat.
Duan Lingtian noticed Huang Ji's little action and a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
If it was in the past, he might have been afraid of such a biting cold wind.
But now, he, who'd comprehended Elementary Wind Force, didn't take such strong gales seriously at all …
"Elder Peng, please take care of this junior."
Linghu Jinhong noticed Zheng Song, Meng Qiu, and Huang Ji's unsightly expressions. When he saw Duan Lingtian's calm and collected expression, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch as he inwardly called out 'Monster', then immediately said to the Roc.
"Hmph! Three useless little things. "
Right at this moment, a voice transmission entered into the ears of everyone present.
It caused Linghu Jinhong, Zheng Fan, and Ke Zhen to smile helplessly.
They were naturally able to discern that Elder Peng was probing these juniors earlier …
Now, the display of Huang Ji, Zheng Song, and Meng Qiu was simply nothing when compared to Duan Lingtian's display.
No wonder Elder Peng was so rude.
Whoosh!
The Roc slowly slowed down, causing Huang Ji's group of three to heave a sigh of relief.
After Huang Ji's group of three recovered, Zheng Song had a bitter smile as he muttered. "How can we compare to Junior Brother Duan Lingtian? He's a freak!"
Unlike Zheng Song's open-mindedness.
Huang Ji and Meng Qiu's expressions were extremely unsightly.
They were unable to accept the fact that they were trampled beneath the feet of a 22 year old kid.
Duan Lingtian was able to feel their fierce gazes, but he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them, and instead sized up the surroundings with interest …
But unfortunately, all that entered his eyes was a boundless expanse, and he couldn't see anything.
"Senior Brother Zheng Song, with Elder Peng bringing us along, we still need to spend half a month of time to arrive at the Demonic Lotusblade Sect?"
Duan Lingtian walked over to Zheng Song's side and asked curiously.
"Yes."
Zheng Song nodded. "This is something that can't be helped … If Elder Peng were to head to the Demonic Lotusblade Sect by himself, he would arrive in half a day at most. But now, Elder Peng has to take care of us juniors, so he can only reduce his speed to an extent that we can endure. "
Duan Lingtian came to a sudden understanding.
Elder Peng's speed was swift.
But Zheng Song, Huang Ji, and Meng Qiu were unable to withstand the swift and fierce gale that assaulted their faces as they swiftly flew …
Even if it was him, even though it wasn't strenuous earlier.
But once Elder Peng's speed doubled again, he would surely be unable to endure it.
Half a month.
Only when Duan Lingtian found out about the location of the Demonic Lotusblade Sect did he realize that even then, their speed this time could still be considered to be extremely swift.
The distance between the Seven Star Sword Sect and the Demonic Lotusblade Sect was actually more than three times the distance between the Seven Star Sword Sect and the Solitary Peak!
After all, when he left the Seven Star Sword Sect that day, even if he used a Ferghana Horse to travel at full speed, he still spent four or five months of time before arriving at the Ancient City of Everlast that was nearby the Solitary Peak.
"But the speed of a Ferghana Horse is utterly unable to compare to Elder Peng's speed."
Duan Lingtian was extremely clear about this.
Even if Elder Peng intentionally slowed down now, in terms of speed, it still far surpassed a Ferghana Horse by a few tens of times, or even a hundred times!
All along the way, they were bored and idle, so Duan Lingtian and Zheng Song chatted about everything.
Unknowingly, they started to chat about the Demonic Lotusblade Sect.
"A shockingly outstanding inner court disciple has appeared in the younger generation of the Demonic Lotusblade Sect, and he's ranked fifth among the five great young masters … He's called Saber Young Master!"
As he finished speaking, Zheng Song felt deep veneration.
"Saber Young Master?"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised. "How is this Saber Young Master compared to Zither Young Master?"
"In terms of strength, he's slightly inferior; in terms of natural talent, there's not much difference."
Zheng Song continued. "Saber Young Master is the youngest amongst the five great young masters, and he's only 26 years old this year … But, according to my Father, that Saber Young Master's cultivation had already stepped into the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage one year ago! Now, it's extremely likely that he's stepped into the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage. "
26 years old, seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage?
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Such natural talent was indeed not inferior to Zither Young Master, Zi Shang.
Half a month's time passed very quickly.
On this day.
Duan Lingtian who stood behind the Roc felt the ground beneath his feet tremble, and the Roc suddenly slowed down before diving down.
Within the scope of Duan Lingtian's field of vision, the clouds and mist that entered his eyes had completely dispersed.
A boundlessly vast gorge appeared before the eyes of Duan Lingtian's group.
Presently, Duan Lingtian stood on the back of the Roc and looked down at the gorge, and he could see that the shape of the gorge was like an exceedingly strange lotus flower …
Within this lotus flower shaped gorge, every single petal was an independent gorge within a gorge.
"This is the location of the Demonic Lotusblade Sect, the Demonic Lotusblade Gorge!"
Linghu Jin Hong looked down at the vast gorge below and said slowly, "This Demonic Lotusblade Gorge seems to be a nine-petal demonic lotus. The location of those nine petals is the cultivation grounds of the Demonic Lotusblade Sect's outer court disciples, and it's similar to the six great outer court sword peaks of our Seven Star Sword Sect … "
Under Linghu Jin Hong's introduction, Duan Lingtian and the others had a certain level of understanding of the Demonic Lotusblade Sect.
"Elder Peng, let's go down."
Linghu Jin Hong said to the Roc.
The Roc nodded and descended towards the central area of the Demonic Lotusblade Gorge.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian frowned.
His acute Spiritual Force vaguely detected that a person had suddenly appeared ahead, and it was an existence at the sixth level of the Void Prying Stage.
Not long after, the Roc paused and landed not far in front of that person.
Duan Lingtian glanced over.
Nearby, an azure clothed old man stood in the sky, and he cupped his hands and bowed towards Linghu Jin Hong who stood on the back of the Roc. "Sect Leader Linghu."
"Hmph!"
Linghu Jin Hong hadn't spoken when the face of Ke Zhen who stood by Linghu Jin Hong's side sank, and the terrifying aura on his body stretched out to envelop the old man. "Our Seven Star Sword Sect's Sect Leader has personally arrived, yet not a single one of your Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Sect Leader and nine Valley Masters has come out to greet him?"
The old man's face went slightly grim when he was enveloped by Ke Zhen's aura, and he hurriedly explained. "Peak Master Ke Zhen, a few of our Sect Leader and nine Valley Masters are in closed door cultivation … Besides the Sect Leader, only three Valley Masters aren't in closed door cultivation, and they're currently entertaining the distinguished guests of the other three sects."
"A Sect Leader, three Valley Masters … What a Demonic Lotusblade Sect!"
Zheng Fan took a step forward, and a similarly terrifying aura enveloped the old man, causing the old man's already pale face to become ghastly pale. "Zheng … Peak Master Zheng Fan, you … You've actually broken through!"
He knew the Seven Star Sword Sect's Sect Leader and six Peak Masters.
According to his knowledge, the Seven Star Sword Sect's Mizar Peak's Master, Zheng Fan, ought to be a ninth level Void Prying Stage martial artist, yet he never imagined that Zheng Fan had actually broken through …
Zheng Fan's breakthrough also meant that the Seven Star Sword Sect had another Void Initiation Stage expert!
This wasn't good news to the Demonic Lotusblade Sect.
"Zheng Fan, you've broken through?"
Ke Zhen was stunned.
Zheng Fan smiled lightly, and his gaze imperceptibly flashed past Duan Lingtian.
His breakthrough was all thanks to Duan Lingtian.
"Peak Master Zheng Fan really concealed himself deeply … Even the Peak Master of Phecda Peak doesn't know that he's already broken through?"
Duan Lingtian was similarly surprised when he saw this scene.
After all, Zheng Fan had already broken through to the Void Initiation Stage two years ago.
"Lead the way."
Linghu Jin Hong spoke out, and he seemed to not mind the Demonic Lotusblade Sect's lack of manners.
But Duan Lingtian was still able to notice the terrifying rage contained in the depths of Linghu Jin Hong's eyes …
The Seven Star Sword Sect was the head of the five great sects of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom at any rate, yet now it was actually looked down upon by the Demonic Lotusblade Sect like this. As the Sect Leader of the Seven Star Sword Sect, how could Linghu Jin Hong not be enraged?
"Looks like the inability of the Seven Star Sword Sect's younger generation to carry on has affected the dignity of the Seven Star Sword Sect to a certain extent."
Although Duan Lingtian was watching coldly from the sidelines, he was still able to notice a trace of an inkling.
Just think about it.
The current state of a sect was dependent on the experts of the older generation.
But in the future, the experts of the older generation would retire or even die of old age, and they would rely on the younger generation that gradually matured.
It was imaginable.
