"Ta Mu, do you believe it?"
Su Li smiled faintly, and then he looked at Ta Mu and asked.
"If Master believes it, I'll believe it. If Master doesn't believe it, I won't believe it!"
Ta Mu didn't hesitate in the slightest and replied resolutely.
"How obedient … Duan Lingtian, why don't you accept this disciple? I think he's pretty good. "
Su Li looked at Duan Lingtian and smiled.
"Thank you, Uncle-master, for interceding for Ta Mu."
Ta Mu hurriedly bowed and thanked Su Li, and these words came from the bottom of his heart and were exceedingly sincere.
"If you want to take it, take it yourself! Anyway, I have nothing to teach him, and I'm not interested in accepting such a disciple. "
After glaring at Su Li, Duan Lingtian snappily said.
Su Li smiled bitterly and didn't say anything else.
"Big Brother Zhang, sister-in-law is still in the Darkhan Dynasty … What do you plan to do in the future? Are you going to bring her out, or are you going back? "
Duan Lingtian asked Zhang Shou Yong. Zhang Shou Yong was not alone. He still had his wife, Wang Qiong, in the Darkhan Dynasty's Zhang Clan.
When they were in the Darkhan Dynasty, Zhang Shou Yong and his wife were inseparable.
This time, Zhang Shou Yong didn't bring her along when he left the Darkhan Dynasty to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties in the Foreign Lands.
"After a while, you'll come with me and bring her out."
When he heard Duan Lingtian mention Wang Qiong, Zhang Shouyong's face was filled with gentleness as he spoke with a light smile.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded with a smile. In his heart, Brother Zhang had always been the same Brother Zhang who had saved his life and helped him a lot.
Perhaps his current strength had temporarily surpassed Big Brother Zhang's, but as long as Big Brother Zhang had something to do and needed it, he would definitely not shirk his responsibility!
Even if he had to climb a mountain of swords or dive into a sea of fire!
"When the time comes, I'll go back with you."
Feng Tianwu said.
"Haha … Of course I'm bringing you along."
Zhang Shouyong smiled.
"If all of you want to return to the Darkhan Dynasty, I'll send a few elders to travel with all of you … This Foreign Lands is different from your Darkhan Dynasty, and it's filled with danger everywhere."
Jian Shisan heard the conversation between Duan Lingtian and the other two and said with a smile.
"Thank you, senior."
Duan Lingtian hurriedly thanked him. He knew that this was the special treatment that Sword Thirteen had given them, and it was a treatment that ordinary Blade School disciples would not be able to enjoy.
"However, if you really want to go back, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a year."
Jian Shisan added.
"Understood."
Duan Lingtian nodded. He was already mentally prepared for this, so he was not surprised.
Early on when he was still at Skywolf Fort, he'd faintly guessed some things from Sword 13's words, and it was related to the 'secret vault' left behind by Emperor Wu.
Moreover, there was a special Inscription Formation set up in the secret treasure. Only people below the age of 40 could enter it.
In addition, there were many precious treasures in the 'secret treasure'.
Nonsense!
If there were no precious treasures in it, why would the four extraterrestrial forces, Skywolf Fort, Blade Sect, Empyrean Temple, and Emotion Severing Sect, spend so much effort on it?
Not to mention anything else, just the soul fragments that the four great powers had paid for the representatives and young geniuses of the 10 Dynasties were already extremely valuable.
As far as Duan Lingtian was concerned, the four great powers would absolutely not do a business that would suffer a loss.
They'd surely received specific information about the 'secret vault' left behind by Emperor Wu beforehand, and they knew that the thing they wanted was within it.
But Duan Lingtian not being surprised didn't mean that Feng Tianwu, Su Li, and Zhang Shouyong weren't surprised.
After they discerned that Duan Lingtian seemed to know something that they didn't, the three of them couldn't help but ask curiously via voice transmission.
"Elder Brother Duan, why do we have to return a year from now?"
"Duan Lingtian, when you said you understood earlier, you seemed to know why we have to return a year from now?"
"Brother Ling Tian, what exactly is going on?"
Duan Lingtian didn't intentionally conceal it when faced with their questions, and he told them of his guesses.
All of this was his own guess.
From the beginning until the end, Sword 13 hadn't mentioned it to him.
"The 'secret vault' left behind by an expert like Emperor Wu?"
"Only people below the age of 40 can enter it? There are precious treasures that the four great powers want to obtain within it? "
"Skywolf Fort held the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties for the sake of the 'secret vault' left behind by an expert like Emperor Wu?"
Feng Tianwu, Su Li, and Zhang Shouyong were shocked.
Never had they imagined that so many things were hidden behind the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties.
Earlier, they were rather puzzled as to why the four great powers had paid such a great price for the sake of seizing the group of young geniuses from the 10 Dynasties.
Now, they came to a sudden understanding.
It turned out that the four great powers wanted to utilize this group of young geniuses to search for the treasures they wanted in the 'secret vault' left behind by an expert like Emperor Wu.
"Looks like after we enter the 'secret vault' left behind by an expert like Emperor Wu, there'll be another open and veiled struggle."
Su Li sighed via voice transmission.
Duan Lingtian deeply agreed to this.
After all, there were four great powers that knew of the 'secret vault' left behind by an expert like Emperor Wu. At that time, they would surely send people in, and the people they sent in would surely fight for various treasures.
Moreover, it might not only be the four great powers that knew of the 'secret vault' left behind by an expert like Emperor Wu, and there might be five great powers, ten great powers, or even more powers.
For a time, Duan Lingtian felt traces of heavy pressure.
The size of the Foreign Lands was far from something the 10 Dynasties could compare to.
Not to mention those formidable powers at the second-rate or above, just third-rate powers like the Empyrean Temple and Emotion Severing Sect were examples.
Today, Duan Lingtian had seen two sixth level Void Interpretation Stage martial artists below the age of 40, the Empyrean Temple's little monk and the Emotion Severing Sect's Zhang Yan.
Duan Lingtian believed that the Skywolf Fort and Blade Sect surely had a few young experts that were so outstanding.
Feng Tianwu and Zhang Shou Yong were slightly dazed, and they still hadn't recovered from their shock.
To them, an expert like Emperor Wu that stood at the peak of Cloud Continent only existed in legends.
Exactly how precious would the treasures within the 'secret vault' left behind by an expert like Emperor Wu be?
It was difficult for them to imagine.
"Hmm?"
Sword 13 who led the way ahead and Saber 5 who brought up the rear seemed to have noticed something, and their brows suddenly knit together.
Subsequently, they seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and they squinted their eyes and looked over.
"Shit!"
Sword 13's face went grim.
Saber 5's expression was extremely unsightly as well.
In the distance, there were three figures flashing over swiftly like three black bolts of lightning, and they appeared within their field of vision in a short moment.
The speed of these three people was so swift that it caused it to be difficult for Sword 13 and Saber 5 to arouse the thought of fleeing.
If it was only the two of them, then perhaps they would be able to escape easily. But the problem was that it wasn't just the two of them now, and there was also Duan Lingtian and the other young geniuses that needed to be taken care of.
"It's Ning Can!"
In next to no time, Saber 5 shouted out coldly with an extremely gloomy expression.
Ning Can, what's he doing here?
Saber 5's cold shout caused Duan Lingtian, the group of young geniuses, and Feng Wu Dao to recover from their shock, and they stopped moving successively before looking at the three figures that were approaching from afar.
One of them was precisely the familiar Ning Can, the Vice Fort Master of Skywolf Fort.
Besides Ning Can, there were two other old men.
In terms of speed, one of the old men was actually slightly swifter than Ning Can, whereas, the other old man's speed was equal to Ning Can.
"Ning Can, Meng Li, Yu Kang!"
Sword 13 flew out to greet the three people that flashed over, and he looked at Ning Can's group of three as he said with a low voice, "All of you probably didn't catch up just to send us off, right?"
"Sword 13, all of you can leave safely so long as you hand over Duan Lingtian."
Ning Can went straight to the point and stated the reason he'd come. He only had a single objective in coming here, and it was to make Duan Lingtian stay.
Duan Lingtian's face went slightly grim as he never imagined that Ning Can's group of three had caught up for him.
Even though he'd never seen the other two old men, since they'd come with Ning Can, then he was able to discern their strength from the speed they revealed earlier.
One of them was even stronger than Ning Can, and the other was on par with Ning Can.
Thus, Duan Lingtian easily guessed the identities of the other two old men, and they ought to be the Vice Fort Masters of Skywolf Fort.
Skywolf Fort had a total of five Vice Fort Masters.
Ning Can and Feng Wei who presided over the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties that he'd seen at Skywolf Fort were only two of them.
"Ning Can, are you joking?"
Sword 13 hadn't spoken when Saber 5 had already sneered. "Duan Lingtian is a member of our Blade Sect now. If you want to touch him, then ask the saber in my hand first!"
As Saber 5 spoke, a thick and heavy wide saber appeared in his hand, and the wide saber emitted a peerlessly fierce aura that faintly contained traces of the smell of blood.
Obviously, many souls had died beneath the saber, and it caused the saber to be tainted with dense blood.
"Sword 13, you mean this as well?"
The old man that was obviously stronger than Ning Can took a step forward and stared at Sword 13 with a burning gaze as he asked with a low voice.
"Meng Li, what's the meaning of your Skywolf Fort doing this? Bullying my Blade Sect for having no one? "
Cold lights flickered within Sword 13's eyes as his body emitted piercingly cold Sword Insight, and along with this, killing intent that shot into the sky and was icy cold and bone piercing.
Meng Li, the Vice Fort Master of Skywolf Fort, his cultivation had stepped into the ninth level of the Void Transformation Stage many years ago, and he was one of the two strongest people beneath the Fort Master of Skywolf Fort.
The other person was the Vice Fort Master of Skywolf Fort as well, and his cultivation was similar to Meng Li.
That person, Feng Wei, and the three people before him were the five great Vice Fort Masters of Skywolf Fort.
The last person that came with Meng Li and Ning Can was called Yu Kang, and his strength was similar to Ning Can as both of them were existences at the eighth level of the Void Transformation Stage.
One was at the ninth level of the Void Transformation Stage while the other two were at the eighth level of the Void Transformation Stage.
The three of them had chased over from Skywolf Fort with ill intent, and they'd come for the sake of Duan Lingtian!
"Duan Lingtian, these three old fellows are chasing over like flies, and it's actually because of you … Could it be that you've dug up their ancestral graves?"
Su Li looked at Ning Can's group of three and asked with slight shock.
"It would be fine if I dug up their ancestral graves, at least I know why they're looking for me … The problem is that I utterly don't know why they're targeting me."
