Since they had heard that Duan Lingtian had obtained the Profundity Fragment, it was only natural that the young powerhouses from the second-rate forces had heard about it as well.
Right now, Duan Lingtian must have become the target of public criticism!
It was not difficult for them to figure this out.
"Although Duan Lingtian's strength is strong, I'm afraid he won't be able to defeat the top young powerhouses from the second-rate forces!"
Nangong Yi took a deep breath. Based on his words, it was obvious that he was fearful of the few top young powerhouses from the second-rate forces.
With his current strength, he could easily deal with ordinary young powerhouses from the second-rate forces.
However, he had no confidence in dealing with the top young powerhouses from the second-rate forces!
Other than having a Martial Monarch powerhouse, the reason why the second-rate forces were called second-rate forces was because the young powerhouses they nurtured were much stronger than the young powerhouses nurtured by third-rate forces like the Five Element Sect.
It was rare for Nangong Chen to nod his head and agree with Nangong Yi's words.
At the same time, more and more people in the Emperor Wu's secret treasure confirmed the direction of the central area and rushed to the central area.
"Huh?"
Duan Lingtian, who was rushing to the central area of the Emperor Wu's secret treasure, saw three familiar figures in the distance as soon as he passed through a cave.
The three of them were heading in the same direction as him. It was obvious that they were heading to the central area of the Emperor Wu's secret treasure as well.
"Daniu, Su Li, Big Brother Zhang."
Duan Lingtian was as fast as lightning. He caught up with the three of them like a ghost and greeted them with a smile when he arrived next to them.
The three of them were none other than Huang Daniu, Su Li, and Zhang Shou Yong!
Duan Lingtian did not expect to meet the three of them here. He did not expect the three of them to be together.
"Duan Lingtian!"
"Brother Ling Tian!"
The appearance of Duan Lingtian gave Huang Daniu, Su Li, and Zhang Shou Yong a great surprise. Seeing Duan Lingtian again, the three of them were excited.
"Duan Lingtian, you're really something … I thought you'd already been killed!"
Huang Daniu jokingly scolded.
"Duan Lingtian, did you really obtain a Profundity Fragment?"
Su Li looked at Duan Lingtian and asked with a burning gaze.
Zhang Shouyong also looked at Duan Lingtian.
"If I said that I didn't … would you believe me?"
Upon hearing Su Li's question, Duan Lingtian knew that Su Li and the others must have heard the rumor of him obtaining a Profundity Fragment. He could not help but smile wryly.
Although he had obtained a Profundity Fragment, no one else knew about it.
As for the news that was spreading like wildfire now, it was completely a case of someone framing him.
"No?"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, let alone Su Li and Zhang Shou Yong, even Huang Daniu could not help but feel shocked.
"Someone is framing me!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes gleamed coldly as though he was about to devour someone. "However, I don't know who it is for now! However, I'm sure it's the person who came in from Entrance No.2 with us! "
"If I find out who it is, I'll definitely kill him!"
Duan Lingtian's words made Huang Daniu's face turn grave as he waved his fist in anger.
"It's obvious that the person wants to kill you by framing you like this … That person must have a grudge against you. Could it be the two surviving disciples of the Sun Moon Sect? "
Su Li speculated.
"It could also be Lian Xiong."
Zhang Shou Yong's eyes gleamed as he said in a deep voice, "Everyone in the Blade Sect knows that Lian Xiong is a vengeful person! Previously, he suffered such a huge loss in front of Brother Ling Tian. I'm sure he won't let it go so easily. "
"I've thought about all the people that you mentioned … Even the Emotion Severing Sect's disciples and other people are all possibilities! The person who framed me might not necessarily have a grudge against me. It could also be that he's just jealous of me and doesn't want me to survive in Emperor Wu's secret treasure. "
Duan Lingtian opened his mouth slowly and revealed his speculation in the end.
At once, Huang Daniu and the other two fell silent.
"That person is really cunning! He put you in danger with just one sentence … Right now, those young powerhouses from second-rate forces must be looking for you! "
Huang Daniu said with a fearful expression.
Second-rate forces?
Upon hearing Huang Daniu's words, Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows.
None of the disciples from second-rate forces that he had encountered or fought with were a match for him. All of them had died in his hands.
"Even if it's that Peng Bao from Anicca Sect … With my current strength, it shouldn't be difficult for me to defeat him!"
Unknowingly, Duan Lingtian recalled Peng Bao whom he had met once in the past.
At that time, his Spiritual Energy detected that Peng Bao was a Third Level Void Transformation martial artist. If it was him at that time, he would not have much confidence in defeating Peng Bao.
However, he was different now.
Unless Peng Bao had encountered a fortuitous encounter, it was impossible for Peng Bao to defeat him.
"Duan Lingtian, did you find anything else along the way?"
Huang Daniu could not help but ask curiously along the way as the four of them made their way to the central area of Emperor Wu's secret treasure.
"Not bad … I obtained a Ninth Level Earth Concept Fragment and a spirit fruit."
Duan Lingtian said with a smile, but he did not mention the Seventh Level Monarch Stage Earth Concept Fragment.
Otherwise, he would have to admit that the person who framed him was telling the truth.
At that time, that person would not be framing him, but telling the truth.
That was something he did not want to see.
"What about you guys?"
After Duan Lingtian told him about his gains, he looked at Huang Daniu and the other two and asked, "How did the three of you encounter each other?"
"I met Su Li first," Huang Daniu said.
Su Li nodded.
"Yes."
Su Li nodded. "After that, Daniu and I met Big Brother Zhang together. The three of us then traveled together, and we did have some gains … Until now, we've basically collected all the Ninth Level Concept Fragments that we can use."
"It seems like you guys have a good gain as well."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"Duan Lingtian, you don't know … Apart from these gains, the three of us also encountered a Profundity Fragment! And it's an Eighth Level Monarch Stage Wind Profundity Fragment! "
Huang Daniu sighed as he spoke. His face was filled with pity.
"Eighth Level Monarch Stage Wind Profundity Fragment?!"
Duan Lingtian could not help but be shocked when he heard Huang Daniu's words.
Although he also had a Monarch Stage Wind Profundity Fragment, it was only a Third Level Monarch Stage Wind Profundity Fragment. It was far from comparable to the Eighth Level Monarch Stage Wind Profundity Fragment.
"You guys didn't obtain it?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes gleamed when he saw Huang Daniu sighing. He asked curiously, "Since you guys didn't obtain it … It means the person who obtained the Profundity Fragment is more powerful than all of you! However, why did he let all of you go? Isn't he worried that all of you would spread the news of him obtaining the Profundity Fragment? "
"He wanted to kill us, but we managed to escape with great difficulty … Besides, he didn't seem to care that we spread the news of him obtaining the Profundity Fragment."
Zhang Shou Yong smiled wryly.
"What do you mean?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned. He was puzzled.
In his opinion, since that person wanted to kill Huang Daniu, Su Li, and Zhang Shou Yong, it meant that he was worried that the three of them would spread the news of him obtaining the Profundity Fragment.
However, why did Zhang Shou Yong say that person did not care that they spread the news?
Wasn't this contradictory?
Soon after, Duan Lingtian finally understood what was going on after listening to Su Li's explanation.
"You mean … He merely lifted his foot and shook the ground to kill the few Izumo Sect and Anicca Sect's disciples?"
Duan Lingtian could not help but gasp.
He could guess from Su Li and the other two that the few Izumo Sect and Anicca Sect's disciples were the weakest among the group of disciples from the second-rate forces that entered Emperor Wu's secret treasure.
However, the black-clad young man was actually able to kill them with just a lift of his foot. Moreover, he almost killed Su Li and the other two as well. This shocked him from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm afraid that person's strength is at least at the Second or Third Level of the Void Transformation Stage … Most importantly, he has comprehended the Earth Concept and can borrow the Earth Energy!"
Huang Daniu said with a fearful expression.
"According to what you said … He's at least at the Third Level of the Void Transformation Stage! Not only that, but the Earth Concept he has comprehended is at least at the Third Level Advanced Stage! "
Duan Lingtian speculated based on the knowledge in the Reincarnation Emperor Wu's memory.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about him … It's bad luck to talk about him!"
Huang Daniu shook his head. "Duan Lingtian, now that the news of you obtaining the Profundity Fragment has spread out … Why don't you not go to the central area of the Emperor Wu's secret treasure?"
"That's right! Duan Lingtian, what you need to do now is to protect yourself. "
Su Li agreed.
"Brother Ling Tian, I also think you shouldn't go … Once you're there, human greed will make you a target for everyone!"
Zhang Shou Yong added.
Duan Lingtian felt warmth in his heart when he heard their concern.
Just when he was about to say something …
"Hmph! You're Duan Lingtian? "
A cold snort resonated from the entrance of the cavern in front of Duan Lingtian and the other three. It clearly entered Duan Lingtian's ears.
Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian saw a black silhouette appear on the path the four of them were taking.
It was a young man in black. He had a cold expression, and his eyes seemed to be dim. However, in reality, they were filled with killing intent. He gave off an oppressive aura.
Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows. He extended his Spiritual Energy in an attempt to probe the other party's cultivation base.
"It's you!!"
At this moment, Huang Daniu, Su Li, and Zhang Shou Yong exclaimed in surprise. It shocked Duan Lingtian so much that his Spiritual Energy almost collapsed. It made Duan Lingtian curious from the bottom of his heart.
Huang Daniu and the other two knew this black-clad young man?
"Duan Lingtian, he's the person we mentioned to you before … It's just that we didn't expect him to be nearby! Not only that, but he also overheard our conversation. "
Su Li's Voice Transmission entered Duan Lingtian's ears and answered the question in Duan Lingtian's mind.
"Then … Does this mean that the Eighth Level Monarch Stage Wind Profundity Fragment is with him?"
When he heard Su Li's words, Duan Ling Tian's burning gaze stared at the black-clothed young man who stood nearby and blocked their path.
