The Audience Hall that was suffused with warm air and the world of ice and snow outside the Audience Hall were two completely different extremes.
Presently, Xue Rui and Zhang Sheng sat opposite each other in the Audience Hall.
"Prince Sheng, have you specially come to look for this Xue?"
Xue Rui went straight to the point.
"Exactly!"
Zhang Sheng nodded, and flames of rage leaped about within his eyes as he said with a low voice, "Sect Leader Xue, I won't waste my breath … I came to look for you this time mainly because I want to cooperate with your Azure Forest Tri-Sect."
"Cooperate?"
Xue Rui was stunned, and then he shook his head and smiled. "Prince Sheng, according to my knowledge, our Azure Forest Tri-Sect has no relationship with your Prince Sheng's Estate, so how can we cooperate?"
"Sect Leader Xue, I want to join forces with your Azure Forest Tri-Sect and cooperate from the inside to kill that Duan Lingtian!"
Zhang Sheng spoke word by word.
Duan Lingtian!
Zhang Sheng's words caused Xue Rui's eyes to squint slightly. "Prince Sheng … According to my knowledge, that Duan Lingtian is a student of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy now, and to a certain extent, he's protected by your Imperial Family."
"Exactly!"
Zhang Sheng nodded as a strand of killing intent flashed within his eyes. "It's precisely because my Imperial Brother is protecting him that I thought of cooperating with your Azure Forest Tri-Sect to kill him!"
"I wonder how that Duan Lingtian was so blind as to offend Prince Sheng?"
Xue Rui asked with interest.
Zhang Sheng angrily spoke of the sequence of events.
"That rat type demon beast by Duan Lingtian's side is capable of killing a second level Void Initiation Stage martial artist?"
Xue Rui's brows raised. "Prince Sheng, do you know the exact cultivation of that demon beast?"
"I don't know."
Zhang Sheng shook his head, and then he seemed to have thought of something and asked. "Sect Leader Xue, according to my knowledge, your Azure Forest Tri-Sect ought to wish for nothing more than to kill that Duan Lingtian as soon as possible … Yet I wonder why you've allowed him to live until now?"
"With that Duan Lingtian's natural talent … After another 10 years, there might not be anyone in the Azure Forest Tri-Sect that is a match for him!"
As he finished speaking, Zhang Sheng's eyes flickered with bright lights.
He still couldn't figure it out.
If he was the Sect Leader of the Azure Forest Tri-Sect, then after he found out that Duan Lingtian was in the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, he would surely stop at nothing to kill Duan Lingtian.
The threat of Duan Lingtian was too great.
"Prince Sheng, to tell you the truth … Our Azure Forest Tri-Sect had already taken actions against that Duan Lingtian almost one year ago. “
Flowing lights flickered within Xue Rui's eyes as he said slowly, "At that time, our Azure Forest Tri-Sect sent out two sixth level Void Initiation Stage Guardian Elders to head to the Imperial City and wait for an opportunity to kill Duan Lingtian!"
"However, those two Guardian Elders vanished into thin air later on, and it was as if they'd vanished into thin air … It was precisely because of this that our Azure Forest Tri-Sect didn't dare act rashly."
Xue Rui said in one breath.
At this point, Xue Rui's eyes revealed a trace of fear.
Apart from that, his direct disciple, Liu Yue, had also disappeared without a trace.
According to his guess, the odds were against him.
"What?!"
Zhang Sheng's face went grim. "Two sixth level Void Initiation Stage experts vanished into thin air? Could it be that it was done by that demon beast by Duan Lingtian's side? "
"It shouldn't be."
Xue Rui shook his head. "If the demon beast by Duan Lingtian's side possessed the strength to kill two sixth level Void Initiation Stage experts … Do you think he wouldn't come look for our Azure Forest Tri-Sect to take revenge for the Seven Star Sword Sect?"
Zhang Sheng came to a sudden understanding.
Indeed.
If the demon beast by Duan Lingtian's side possessed the strength to kill sixth level Void Initiation Stage experts, then it would surely not let the Azure Forest Tri-Sect off.
"Could it be that your Azure Forest Tri-Sect won't make a move against Duan Lingtian until the day you're unable to find those two Guardian Elders?"
Zhang Sheng guessed as he spoke. "According to my guess, the two Guardian Elders might have temporarily gone into hiding because of something … It's impossible for it to be related to Duan Lingtian."
"I think so as well … But the other two Sect Leaders instead advocated for safety."
Xue Rui continued.
"Safety indeed should be taken … But, the method of allowing Duan Lingtian to grow freely isn't desirable!"
Zhang Sheng said.
"Prince Sheng, you said earlier that you want to work together with us to eliminate Duan Lingtian … I presume you have a mature idea, I'm willing to hear the details."
Xue Rui asked Zhang Sheng.
…
Duan Lingtian naturally didn't know that a great scheme was assaulting him now.
Presently, he was silently cultivating in the Dragon and Phoenix Academy.
He was waiting for the arrival of the Genius Competition half a month from now.
The Genius Competition would decide on the strongest five people in the end, and they would obtain five positions to head to the Darkstone Empire.
With Duan Lingtian's current strength, it wasn't difficult for him to seize one of the five positions.
But, Duan Lingtian's current target wasn't the position in the Genius Competition.
There was no suspense in obtaining that position to him.
He didn't even think about it.
His current target was to break through to the Void Initiation Stage as soon as possible!
At that time, he would be able to open the Sword Monarch's Treasure with the owners of the other eight jade swords.
The Sword Monarch's Treasure was a treasure trove left behind by a sword cultivator Martial Monarch.
Perhaps there would be something useful to him within it.
"But unfortunately, even though the Rebirth Pill can be said to be heaven defying and capable of greatly increasing one's cultivation … I only have one main ingredient now."
Duan Lingtian sighed.
The most important material for the Rebirth Pill was the blood of the Red Phoenix.
However, besides the Blood of the Red Luan that was the main medicinal ingredient, the Rebirth Pill still required two other auxiliary medicinal ingredients.
Even though those two auxiliary ingredients couldn't be considered to be rare in the Foreign Lands.
But within the territory of the Darkhan Dynasty, they were extremely rare.
"All those years ago, after Samsara Emperor Wu consumed the Rebirth Pill, he spent many years before completely digesting the medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill, and he broke through from the first level of the Emperor Wu Stage to the fourth level of the Emperor Wu Stage in one go, suppressing the other Emperor Wu's of Cloud Continent!"
When he thought of the terrifying medicinal strength contained within the Rebirth Pill, Duan Lingtian felt a wave of terror in his heart.
That medicinal strength could be said to be heaven defying!
Most importantly, the medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill was extremely gentle.
Any person or demon beast with a cultivation could consume it.
"I can only wait until I go to the Darkstone Empire and take a look at the Darkhan Dynasty."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
The other medicinal materials were nothing.
He'd already obtained the most difficult ingredient, the blood of the Red Phoenix, and he only lacked those two auxiliary ingredients.
So long as he obtained those two auxiliary ingredients, he would be able to refine the Rebirth Pill.
Now, Duan Lingtian only hoped to be able to find those two medicinal materials in the Darkhan Dynasty …
"Perhaps, I can ask City Governor Feng for help once I arrive at the Darkhan Dynasty."
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but recall the Feng Wu Dao and the others he'd met in the Darkstone Empire's Phoenix Nest City.
Feng Wu Dao had said that he should come look for him at the Feng Clan in the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital in the future.
"There's also Tian Wu … Now, she's another step closer to the age of 30! I hope I'll be able to find a way to help her before she's 30. "
Feng Tianwu possessed the rare Fire Spirit Body.
If she didn't have a way to deal with it before the age of 30, then Feng Tianwu would surely explode and die.
Although the relationship between him and Feng Tianwu hadn't progressed to the extent of developing feelings for a man.
But he'd always felt pity towards that beautiful and passionate young woman in his heart.
If it was possible, he wasn't willing to see her perish like this.
Half a month of time passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, Little Gold had returned after sending Zheng Song to the 10,000 Year Stalactite Cave on Megrez Peak.
Today, early in the morning, after eating breakfast.
A group of Dragon and Phoenix Academy students gathered together.
"Everyone, from today onwards, the Dragon and Phoenix Academy will be disbanded … All of you can return to your respective powers! Tomorrow, all of you can rely on the Dragon and Phoenix Academy command token in your possession to lead the seniors of your respective powers to enter the Imperial Palace to observe the competition between geniuses! "
"At that time, someone will take the command token in your possession. Now, all of you can disperse! "
The Vice Dean of the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, Chi Ming, spoke slowly.
Instantly, all the Dragon and Phoenix Academy students present went silent.
Especially some Outer Hall students.
They'd formed quite deep friendships with each other.
After today, they'd go their separate ways.
All of them felt reluctant.
However, all good things must come to an end. No matter how reluctant they were, they had to part in the end.
"Vice Dean Chi, farewell."
Duan Lingtian nodded to Chi Ming, then turned around and left with Luo Zhan and Chen Shao Shuai.
"See you tomorrow."
Chi Ming's voice transmission entered into Duan Lingtian's ears as well.
After Duan Lingtian's group of three left, the group of Dragon and Phoenix Academy students left successively.
"Zi Yan!"
The Flame Young Master, Zhang Yan, shamelessly followed behind the Flute Fairy, Zi Yan.
"Zhang Yan, I'm warning you, don't follow me again!"
Flute Fairy's beautiful brows raised, and she was like a tigress that had revealed its might.
But Zhang Yan utterly didn't fall for this.
Perhaps, so long as Flute Fairy wasn't married, he wouldn't give up pursuing Flute Fairy.
After Duan Lingtian, Luo Zhan, and Chen Shao Shuai left the Dragon and Phoenix Academy.
They went to have a meal together.
After the meal.
"Duan Lingtian, do you want to go to the Spring Night Pavilion with me?"
Chen Shao Shuai looked at Duan Lingtian with a dubious expression.
"No!"
Duan Lingtian shook his head, and his tone was resolute and decisive.
"Truly boring … Sometimes, I wonder if all of you aren't interested in women!"
Chen Shao Shuai shook his head, then glanced at Duan Lingtian before looking at Luo Zhan and sighing with emotion.
"Sword Young Master, I'm more interested in sparring with you."
Duan Lingtian spoke word by word.
"Exactly, I'm interested in sparring with Sword Young Master as well. “
Luo Zhan looked at Chen Shao Shuai as battle intent arose in his eyes.
Chen Shao Shuai rolled his eyes at Duan Lingtian and Luo Zhan. "I can't be bothered with the both of you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly jumped out of the window and went to the Spring Night Pavilion to find some fun.
On the other hand, Duan Lingtian and Luo Zhan left the restaurant after they finished their meal and headed to the Alchemist Guild's headquarters.
The Alchemist Guild's headquarters had a total of five floors.
The first floor was the hall where one issued and received assignments.
The second floor was the place to verify one's grade and issue the Weapons Craftsman Badge.
The third floor was the equipment refinement room exclusive to the Guild Master, Luo Rong.
The fourth floor was the place where the staff of the Alchemist Guild's headquarters rested.
The fifth floor was where Luo Rong rested.
When he heard Duan Lingtian wanted to stay the night here, Luo Rong immediately instructed someone to clean up a room on the fifth floor for Duan Lingtian to stay in.
Even though Duan Lingtian wasn't willing to be Luo Rong's teacher.
