To Duan Ling Tian, more than 700 Battle Merits was not considered much. He casually used them to exchange for some Pill Refining Materials that he urgently needed before he left Peace City.
"The things I want will cost me nearly twenty thousand battle merits … The Godking battlefield won't give me that many battle merits."
"The most important thing right now is to break through to the Godking realm. When I break through to the Godking realm, I'll enter the Godking battlefield and kill the Godkings of the Greater One Sect to accumulate battle merits."
In the Emperor Battle Plane, as a disciple of the Tianlong Clan, killing a Greater One Sect disciple of the Greater One Sect at the high Godking realm would only give him twenty-five battle merits.
But if he could kill a Greater One Sect disciple at the low Godking realm, he would be rewarded with two hundred battle merits!
And if he killed a middle Godking, he would be rewarded with two thousand battle merits!
"Let's go out first."
After returning to Sky Dragon City, Duan Lingtian was escorted by a group of Tianlong Clan disciples. He left through the entrance of the Emperor Battle Plane and returned to the Tianlong Clan.
Before that, the Tianlong Clan people escorted Duan Lingtian and were not stingy with their words of praise.
Now, the news of Duan Lingtian killing more than a hundred Greater One Sect Godking realm disciples had spread throughout Sky Dragon City and the Tianlong Clan.
Every disciple of the Tianlong Clan felt that Duan Lingtian had brought honor to the Tianlong Clan.
In the Emperor Battle Plane, the Godking battlefield was fierce, and Duan Lingtian's battle merits could be said to have completely boosted the morale of the Tianlong Clan.
"The Greater One Sect has offered a reward of three hundred thousand contribution points for killing Duan Lingtian … Now that Duan Lingtian has returned after killing more than a hundred Greater One Sect Godking realm disciples, the Tianlong Clan will also reward him with three hundred thousand contribution points!"
Not long after Duan Lingtian returned to the Tianlong Temple, he heard the words of the Tianlong Clan's Clan Master, Long Qingchong, which spread throughout the Tianlong Temple. Duan Lingtian suspected that Long Qingchong knew he had returned to the Tianlong Temple and made such a public announcement to let him hear it.
After all, if he was still in the Emperor Battle Plane, he wouldn't have heard it.
"Duan Lingtian, congratulations."
Presently, Duan Ling Tian had just returned to the inner sect disciples' cultivation area, and within the spacious inner sect disciples' cultivation area, a few figures flew out from the Internal Affairs Pavilion to congratulate Duan Ling Tian.
More than ninety percent of the inner sect disciples were in the Godking battlefield, and those who weren't were in Sky Dragon City or Peace City in the Emperor Battle Plane.
"Elders, how do I claim the three hundred thousand contribution points?"
Duan Ling Tian asked as he smiled at the few elders who flew out of the Internal Affairs Palace.
"Do you want it now?"
One of the elderly elders asked with a smile.
When he saw Duan Lingtian nod, the elderly elder immediately sent a message and quickly responded, "Duan Lingtian, the Clan Master has sent Vice Sect Master Xue over personally to transfer three hundred thousand contribution points to you."
Vice Sect Master Xue?
Duan Ling Tian's eyes narrowed when he heard Elder Nian Mai's words. Then, his gaze deepened.
If he remembered correctly, only one of the Tianlong Clan's Vice Sect Masters had the surname Xue.
In other words, this Vice Sect Master Xue was the father-in-law of Kuang Tianzheng's second disciple, the Tianlong Clan's Vice Sect Master, Xue Mingzhi.
"I've never seen this Vice Sect Master Xue before."
When he first arrived at the Tianlong Clan, Xue Haichuan had warned him that if Kuang Tianzheng saw him as an enemy, it meant that he was on the opposite side of Vice Sect Master Xue.
He had to be wary of Vice Sect Master Xue.
After staring for a while, Duan Lingtian heard the sound of wind whistling from afar. When he came back to his senses, a figure had already appeared in front of him.
It was a middle-aged man with a determined face and a dignified expression.
"Greetings, Vice Sect Master Xue."
"Vice Sect Master Xue."
… …
At the same time, the elders of the Internal Affairs Palace bowed to the newcomer.
"Mm."
Xue Mingzhi nodded to them, then his gaze fell on Duan Lingtian, sizing him up.
Unlike Duan Lingtian, he was the first person to arrive.
It was Duan Ling Tian's first time meeting him, but it was not his first time meeting Duan Ling Tian.
Early on during the Hidden Dragon Grand Competition, he'd once secretly appeared in the sky above the Hidden Dragon Grand Competition and threatened Duan Ling Tian via voice transmission, but Duan Ling Tian didn't know that the person threatening him was him.
"Duan Lingtian?"
Xue Mingzhi asked with a smile when he saw Duan Lingtian again.
"Vice Sect Master Xue."
Duan Lingtian nodded slightly at Xue Mingzhi as a greeting.
The elders of the Internal Affairs Palace were a little surprised by Duan Lingtian's arrogance in front of Xue Mingzhi. This was because even in front of them, Duan Lingtian had never been so arrogant.
After all, their status in the Tianlong Clan was far below Vice Sect Master Xue.
"Thank you, Vice Sect Master Xue." “
Under the astonished gazes of the elders of the Internal Affairs Palace, Duan Lingtian directly took out his identity token and handed it to Xue Mingzhi.
It was obvious that he wanted Xue Mingzhi to transfer the 300,000 contribution points that Sect Master Long Qingchong had promised him.
The elders of the Internal Affairs Palace thought that Xue Mingzhi would frown or something, but they soon became even more astonished.
Xue Mingzhi did not seem surprised by Duan Lingtian's behavior at all. He casually took Duan Lingtian's identity token and transferred 300,000 contribution points to him without hesitation.
Of course, these 300,000 contribution points did not belong to Xue Mingzhi. They were transferred to him by Sect Master Long Qingchong.
Strictly speaking, he was now just an errand boy.
"I have completed the task that Sect Master gave me. See you later."
After Xue Mingzhi returned Duan Lingtian's identity token to Duan Lingtian, he no longer maintained the smile on his face. This was because he could see that there was no room for negotiation between him and Duan Lingtian.
Of course, he did not think that there would be room for negotiation.
This was because, in his opinion, the former head of the Linghu family, Linghu Renjie, had most likely told Duan Lingtian that he had sent people to kill Linghu Renjie.
As he turned around to leave, Xue Mingzhi's eyes were filled with killing intent. "I can't delay any longer... his current strength, even compared to the Greater One Sect's Ximen Longxiang, is not the slightest bit weaker."
"Perhaps he has strength comparable to an ordinary Lower Divine Emperor. Otherwise, how could he be like a fish in water on the battlefield of Divine Kings and kill hundreds of Greater One Sect disciples in less than a year?"
"If he is given time to grow, not only Kuang Tianzheng, but also my daughter, son-in-law, and even I will be in trouble!"
Xue Mingzhi was not in a hurry to return to his own place of cultivation. Instead, he went directly to the cultivation place of Inner Sect Elder Kuang Tianzheng.
… …
After Xue Mingzhi left, several elders of the Internal Affairs Palace looked at Duan Lingtian. One of them asked in confusion, "Duan Lingtian, is there … a conflict between you and Deputy Lord Xue?"
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly and did not deny it. "Deputy Lord Xue's son-in-law, Zhong Can's master, inner sect disciple Kuang Tianzheng, attacked me before I entered the Tianlong Clan and behind the Linghu family."
"If it weren't for the protection of the Linghu family's protective array, I would have died at that time."
The moment Duan Ling Tian's words left his mouth, he shook his head and descended into the Internal Affairs Hall.
The elders of the Internal Affairs Palace looked at each other. It was no wonder Duan Lingtian was so indifferent to Deputy Lord Xue. It turned out that there was another layer of reason.
"Duan Lingtian will grow sooner or later … If Kuang Tianzheng doesn't take the initiative to make amends, he will suffer a great loss sooner or later."
An elder of the Internal Affairs Palace sighed.
"Looking at Duan Lingtian's attitude when he mentioned Kuang Tianzheng and his attitude toward Deputy Lord Xue, I'm afraid the hatred between him and Kuang Tianzheng won't be let go so easily."
"I'm afraid that in a few years, Duan Lingtian will have the ability to defeat or even kill Kuang Tianzheng."
"Does he need to wait until he grows? From what I know, the top Emperor God forces in Tung Leng Province are all fighting to get him to join them. As long as he joins one of them, he can make any request. When that time comes, one word from him, and Kuang Tianzheng will be dead. "
…
After walking around the Internal Affairs Palace for a while, Duan Lingtian, who was rich, spent some Contribution Points to buy some new materials he needed in the Internal Affairs Palace before he left.
He returned to his residence and went into closed-door cultivation.
For the time being, he did not need to refine Divine Pills to aid his cultivation since he still had a surplus of Divine Pills from before.
While Duan Lingtian was in closed-door cultivation, Xue Mingzhi, the Deputy Lord of the Tianlong Clan, and Kuang Tianzheng, the Inner Sect Elder, had gathered together.
"We can't wait any longer … We must kill Duan Lingtian as soon as possible."
Xue Mingzhi said in a deep voice, "How long has it been? He's only a High-Level God King. Moreover, his current strength is comparable to an ordinary Low-Level God King. "
"Have you heard about his performance in the battlefield of the God Kings in the Imperial Battle Realm?"
Xue Mingzhi asked.
"I've heard about it."
Kuang Tianzheng nodded solemnly. His expression was solemn as he said, "Indeed, we can't wait any longer … If he breaks through to the God King Stage, I'm afraid it won't be long before I'm not strong enough to kill him."
"Didn't you come up with a plan earlier?"
Xue Mingzhi asked again, "Now that he has left the Imperial Battle Realm, it's time to launch a plan to lure him out and kill him."
"I'll come up with a plan in the next two days."
Kuang Tianzheng said.
"We have to be quick."
Xue Mingzhi said with a serious face, "His existence has always made me feel uneasy … Now, only his death can give me complete peace of mind."
"Aren't I the same?"
Kuang Tianzheng smiled bitterly. "Don't worry, Deputy Sect Leader. Once I've confirmed the plan, I'll contact the two White Dragon Elders from the Ten Thousand Devil Sect and ask them to personally make a move.
There's no need for you to personally make a move, Deputy Sect Leader. "
Kuang Tianzheng promised.
"Mm."
Xue Mingzhi nodded and added, "If possible, ask them to make a move together!"
"I keep having the feeling that there's something strange about Duan Lingtian."
"I can't say for the time being."
