Zi Shang's eyes stared wide open as he looked at the violet clothed young man in the distance, and his body started trembling slightly.
At this moment, he seemed as if he'd seen his mortal enemy!
In reality, in Zi Shang's heart, he'd taken the violet clothed young man before him to be a mortal enemy since long ago. Moreover, it was the type that wouldn't stop until the young man was dead.
The humiliation the young man brought to him all those years ago was something he'd never forget.
As far as he was concerned.
Only the young man's death would be able to vent the hatred in his heart!
"Hmm?"
Zi Shang's loss of composure was noticed by the black clothed old man who walked ahead, his master. "Zi Shang, what's wrong?"
Zi Shang took a deep breath, and his surging emotions were unable to calm down in a short period of time, so he was temporarily unable to reply to the old man.
"Senior."
Meanwhile, Zi Yan who stood at the side spoke out. "It's that Duan Lingtian! That Duan Lingtian that used demonic techniques to humiliate Big Brother at the Seven Star Sword Sect's Phecda Peak in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom that day. "
"Duan Lingtian?"
The black clothed old man followed along the direction Zi Yan pointed at when he heard Zi Yan, and he looked towards the distant second-class spectating area, and his gaze descended onto the group of people from the Darkstone Empire.
"That violet clothed young man, the youngest one … He's Duan Lingtian."
Zi Yan added.
"Him?"
The black clothed old man's brows raised as he muttered. "I heard that a violet clothed young man that's shockingly young appeared in the first phase of the Dynasty Martial Competition yesterday … He looks to be around the age of 25, and his cultivation is at the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage or above."
"Could it be that it's him?"
As he finished speaking, a rare strand of bright light flashed past the old man's muddy eyes.
Seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage or above?
The old man's words caused Zi Yan to be unable to help but be stunned, and she said with slight disbelief. "This … How could this be possible? How could this Duan Lingtian's improvement possibly be so swift!? "
She slightly didn't dare believe it.
Even though she'd witnessed Duan Lingtian's natural talent in the Martial Dao and knew that Duan Lingtian's natural talent was shocking.
But at that time, Duan Lingtian was only stronger than the group of young geniuses of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
In the entire Darkhan Dynasty, the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom was only a tiny piece of land that wasn't worth mentioning.
In the vast land of the Darkhan Dynasty, experts were as numerous as the clouds, and geniuses were as numerous as the clouds.
So in the entire Darkhan Dynasty, the group of young geniuses from the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom were utterly nothing.
Since Zi Yan arrived at the Darkhan Dynasty, she'd deeply felt all of this.
But now, she heard that Duan Lingtian's cultivation had actually already broken through to the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage …
She couldn't accept this fact for a while.
"He's also participating in the Dynasty Martial Competition?"
When Zi Shang, who was standing at the side, heard the old man's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the killing intent in them was difficult to conceal. "If that's the case, then I have the opportunity to kill him personally in front of the group of powerhouses from the Darkhan Dynasty."
Now, Zi Shang had gradually calmed down. He stared at Duan Lingtian emotionlessly.
"I heard that his strength is not bad, and he can be considered one of the best among the young talents of the various empires that went on stage yesterday … If nothing unexpected happens, you will have the opportunity to meet him."
The black clothed old man spoke with an expressionless face.
He'd heard of the matter between this disciple of his and the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Seven Star Sword Sect's Duan Lingtian in the past.
Actually, with his strength and background, not to mention killing Duan Lingtian, even annihilating the Seven Star Sword Sect was extremely easy.
But he didn't do that.
He wanted his disciple to deal with all this with his own two hands.
Crawl up from where you fell.
Since the beginning, he'd taught his disciple like this.
"Yes."
Zi Shang nodded, and then Zi Yan escorted the old man to the first-class spectating area.
"Zither Young Master!"
Duan Lingtian naturally noticed Zi Shang's icy cold gaze that contained killing intent, yet he didn't care.
As far as he was concerned.
Unless Zi Shang had a shocking fortuitous encounter like him, otherwise, even if Zi Shang had a master in the Darkhan Dynasty, it would be impossible for Zi Shang to catch up to him.
Even if Zi Shang really fought him, Zi Shang would only be a fish on his chopping board.
"Eh."
When Duan Lingtian saw Zi Shang and Zi Shang following the black clothed old man to head directly towards an empty first-class spectating area, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Because presently, amongst the nine first-class spectating areas in the Cage Battle Arena, only that one was empty.
Moreover, that first-class spectating area just happened to be situated at the east, and it obviously belonged to the host …
Whereas the host of the Cage Battle Arena was the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family!
"Who's that old man? He actually ascended the first-class spectating area that belongs to the Imperial Family. "
Instantly, someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Without the invitation of someone from the Imperial Family, even if it's an existence with a special status in our Darkhan Dynasty, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare abruptly ascend that first-class spectating area … He ought to be a member of the Imperial Family."
Many people guessed.
"The experts in the Imperial Family are numerous like the clouds, and there's no lack of experts that rarely appear before others … Perhaps, the black clothed old man is one of those people."
"It's possible."
…
In the Cage Battle Arena, the group of people discussed animatedly as they guessed the old man's identity.
The more they guessed, the more certain they were.
"A member of the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family?"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised.
For the sake of verifying, Duan Lingtian raised his head to look at the first-class spectating area that belonged to the Feng Clan in the sky, and his voice transmission flashed out to enter into Feng Wu Dao's ears.
"Uncle Feng, that black clothed old man is a member of the Imperial Family?"
Duan Lingtian asked Feng Wu Dao.
Feng Wu Dao was originally resting with his eyes closed, and even if the black clothed old man appeared, he would still remain indifferent.
At this moment, when he heard Duan Lingtian's voice transmission, he slowly raised his head and glanced indifferently at the first-class spectating area that belonged to the Imperial Family before saying, "Yes, he's a member of the Imperial Family. He's the Imperial Uncle of the Darkhan Dynasty's current Emperor, and he usually rarely appears before others and acts alone … His strength isn't bad. "
As he finished speaking, Feng Wu Dao's tone became slightly heavier.
He was undoubtedly emphasizing that the black clothed old man's strength wasn't bad.
"His strength isn't bad?"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised as he looked at the black clothed old man with slight surprise.
Even though he'd discerned a trace of indifference from Feng Wu Dao's tone.
However, a person that was able to make Feng Wu Dao evaluate him like this obviously had something of his own, and it caused Duan Lingtian to arouse slight fear towards the old man.
"I truly never imagined that this Zi Shang actually took such a great figure as his master …"
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
Not to mention the Foreign Lands, only in the Darkhan Dynasty, this black clothed old man's identity could indeed be considered to be a great figure.
On the other hand, Zi Shang was one of the five great young masters of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, the Zither Young Master, and he was only a young martial artist whose natural talent in the Martial Dao could be considered to be not bad in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
The difference between their identities was like the heavens and the earth.
How did they become master and disciple?
This was something that Duan Lingtian was unable to guess.
Logically speaking, with the black clothed old man's identity and background, he only had to say a single word and the numerous young geniuses in the Darkhan Dynasty with natural talent in the Martial Dao that were even more formidable than Zi Shang would fight to the death to become his disciple.
"I can't wrap my head around it … I can't wrap my head around it …"
Duan Lingtian shook his head, as he was truly unable to wrap his head around it.
Perhaps, only the black clothed old man himself knew why he took Zi Shang as his disciple.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Suddenly, a voice that was like a thunderclap instantly exploded out in the sky far away in the Cage Battle Arena, and it sounded out from afar and suppressed the extremely clamorous voices in the Cage Battle Arena.
Subsequently, the Cage Battle Arena was deathly silent.
Those people that were chatting and discussing earlier had shut their mouths successively, whereas, those people that were looking around earlier had all stopped their heads and stared fixedly at the source of the voice.
"The Emperor of the Darkhan Dynasty?"
Just like most of the people present, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but raise his head to look towards the source of the voice when he heard it.
In next to no time, the boundless clouds and mist in the distance slowly dispersed …
At the same time, a luxurious palanquin that seemed to be dazzling under the morning sun appeared before the eyes of everyone …
This palanquin was extremely large.
According to Duan Lingtian's estimation, it was two times larger than the palanquin that King Yong sat in during the Young Genius Competition of the Darkstone Empire that day.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
It wasn't just that, this luxurious palanquin that was dazzling with golden lights was even carried by eight people, and it was an eight-bearer palanquin.
These eight people were eight armored soldiers, and they were staring ahead with cold gazes. As they soared through the sky, their movements were in unison, and it brought a form of visual shock to others.
The eight people carried the palanquin as they soared through the sky, and the palanquin was steady like Mount Tai and didn't shake in the slightest.
"The cultivations of these eight people are probably not at the ordinary Void Prying Stage."
Duan Lingtian looked at the eight armored soldiers and couldn't help but think in his heart.
Now, his heart was itching.
He wanted to rely on his Spiritual Force to detect the cultivations of these eight people, yet he was slightly apprehensive of the Inscription Masters that might be present here …
The Inscription Masters here were existences that had stepped into the Void Interpretation Stage at every turn, and it caused Duan Lingtian to not dare be careless in the slightest.
Even if he exposed his Spiritual Force, so long as Feng Wu Dao was present, he wouldn't be in any danger.
But it was impossible for him to stay by Feng Wu Dao's side forever.
So he still advocated being careful and prudent. As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry.
"As expected of the Darkhan Dynasty's Emperor, what extravagance!"
Duan Lingtian looked at the palanquin that slowly flashed out from behind the clouds and mist, and he sighed in his heart.
Compared to the extravagance before him.
One year ago in the Darkstone Empire's Imperial City, the scene of King Yong making an appearance was simply like a child playing house, and it wasn't worth mentioning.
"There's someone behind!"
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian who had sharp eyes noticed that besides the eight soldiers that carried the palanquin, there were another two people following behind.
These were two young men.
One wore white clothes, the other wore black clothes, and it formed an extremely clear contrast between them.
"It's him!"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised when he saw the white clothed young man.
Looks like his guess from yesterday wasn't wrong.
This white clothed young man was indeed one of the three young geniuses that the Darkhan Dynasty's Imperial Family had recommended to participate in the Dynasty Martial Competition this time.
"It's the young man that presided over the Dynasty Martial Competition yesterday!"
