"What did you say? Leng Ji? Y-You said he's Leng Ji?! "
The Izumo Sect's disciple who recognized the black-clad young man embedded on the wall asked in shock. The moment his words left his mouth, the other two Izumo Sect's disciples narrowed their eyes immediately.
"Did you get the wrong person? Leng Ji … How could Leng Ji be killed? Leng Ji is ranked in the top six among the younger generation of the three major second-rate forces in the northern desert! "
The other person also had a look of disbelief on his face.
"It's impossible for me to get the wrong person … I've met Leng Ji once before! He might not know me, but I know him! "
The Izumo Sect's disciple who recognized Leng Ji shook his head and said with certainty.
Seeing how certain this Izumo Sect's disciple was, the other Izumo Sect's disciple who suspected he had the wrong person completely dispelled his doubts. He could not help but frown as he muttered, "Among the people who entered Emperor Wu's secret treasure, I'm afraid only our Izumo Sect's Senior Brother Mo and the two from Anicca Sect and North Nether Sect have the ability to kill him."
"That person from North Nether Sect came from the same sect as Leng Ji, so it's impossible for him to kill him … Could it be that Senior Brother Mo or that person from Anicca Sect killed Leng Ji?"
The Izumo Sect's disciple could not help but speculate as his eyes flashed.
"That's the only possibility … Other than Senior Brother Mo and that person from Anicca Sect, I can't think of anyone else who can kill Leng Ji!"
The last Izumo Sect's disciple agreed. "After all, even our Izumo Sect's second strongest person among the younger generation, Senior Brother Lei Jun, and Peng Bao, the second strongest person among the younger generation from Anicca Sect, are no match for Leng Ji who has comprehended the Earth Concept in this place where we can borrow the Earth Energy at will!"
"I can't believe that the North Nether Sect's second strongest person among the younger generation, Leng Ji, would die here just like that."
The Izumo Sect's disciple who recognized Leng Ji could not help but sigh. He deeply felt the fragility of life.
Duan Lingtian, who was heading to the central area of Emperor Wu's secret treasure with Huang Daniu, Su Li, and Zhang Shouyong, naturally, did not know that two idiots had become his scapegoats.
"I wonder how Chen Wei is doing now."
Huang Daniu, who was traveling with Duan Lingtian and the other two, frowned slightly and said worriedly.
"Chen Wei?"
Hearing Huang Daniu's words, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but sigh. He then muttered, "He … is already dead."
"What?!"
Although Duan Lingtian's voice wasn't loud, it was still heard by Huang Daniu. His expression couldn't help but change. "Duan Lingtian, you … you're telling the truth?"
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded, and then he spoke of the matter of him encountering Chen Wei's corpse and burying Chen Wei without holding back in the slightest.
"Damn it!"
Huang Daniu's face was ashen, and his eyes were suffused with scarlet red. He couldn't help but wave his fists in anger. "If I find out who killed Chen Wei, I, Huang Daniu, will definitely not let him off!"
His relationship with Chen Wei surpassed the relationship between Duan Lingtian and Chen Wei.
When he saw Chen Wei's corpse earlier, even Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be enraged, let alone Huang Daniu who had a violent temper, so his rage naturally skyrocketed.
Duan Lingtian shook his head and sighed.
He knew clearly in his heart that it was practically impossible to find Chen Wei's murderer!
Not to mention they didn't know if that person was still alive, even if that person was still alive, if that person didn't take the initiative to mention it, they would utterly have no way of knowing who killed Chen Wei.
Duan Lingtian's group of four continued on their way, and they were getting closer and closer to the central area of Emperor Wu's secret treasure vault.
"Brother Ling Tian!"
A few days later, Duan Lingtian's group of four had just entered a spacious cavern when they heard a voice that contained slight pleasant surprise sound out from the other end of the cavern.
When Duan Lingtian heard the voice, he only felt that it was a little familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had heard it before.
When he turned his head around and saw one of the two young men flying towards him from afar, his eyes couldn't help but brighten. "Peng Bao!"
The person who called him was none other than the Anicca Sect's disciple, Peng Bao, whom he had met once before.
At that time, although he had only made a deal with Peng Bao once, the magnanimity that Peng Bao revealed inadvertently made him have a good impression of him from the bottom of his heart.
"Huh?"
Soon after, the smile that appeared on Duan Lingtian's face froze again.
This was because at this moment, he noticed that the sturdy young man next to Peng Bao was glaring at him like a tiger watching its prey.
In the depth of this sturdy young man's eyes, there was a hint of greed mixed in.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian could faintly guess something. It seemed like this sturdy young man had also heard about the 'news' that was purposely spread out to frame him.
He said that he had obtained a piece of news about a Profundity Fragment.
Otherwise, it was impossible for the other party to look at him with such a gaze since it was their first meeting!
Since the sturdy young man knew about it, Peng Bao must have known about it as well.
Duan Lingtian's gaze landed on Peng Bao again. He purposely focused on Peng Bao's gaze when he looked at him. However, he noticed that there was no malice in Peng Bao's gaze.
'Looks like I didn't misjudge you after all.'
Duan Lingtian's heart jolted as he thought to himself.
Perhaps Peng Bao had also heard about him obtaining a Profundity Fragment, but he did not harbor any greed because of it. It could be said that this was extremely rare.
"Brother Ling Tian, I didn't expect to meet you here … Who are these three?"
Peng Bao greeted Duan Lingtian as he looked at Huang Daniu, Su Li, and Zhang Shouyong who were standing next to Duan Lingtian.
"They're my friends."
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly.
Peng Bao nodded and smiled at Huang Daniu and the other two in a friendly manner. He did not have any sense of superiority just because he was a disciple of a second-rate force, Izumo Sect. This made Huang Daniu and the other two feel much better.
"This is …?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze landed on the sturdy young man next to Peng Bao again. His eyes gleamed as he asked Peng Bao.
His Spiritual Energy that he had just extended told him.
This sturdy young man was similar to Peng Bao and the black-clad young man he had killed not long ago. They were all at the Third Level Void Transformation Stage!
'Anicca Sect is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers … Other than Peng Bao, they actually have a disciple who's not inferior to Peng Bao.'
Duan Lingtian could not help but sigh inwardly.
Soon after, Duan Lingtian realized that he had misunderstood.
"Brother Ling Tian, this is Lei Jun from Izumo Sect. He's also the second strongest person among the younger generation in Izumo Sect."
Peng Bao smiled as he introduced Lei Jun to Duan Lingtian.
Izumo Sect's disciple?
When Duan Lingtian heard Peng Bao's introduction of Lei Jun, he knew that he had guessed wrongly. This sturdy young man was not Anicca Sect's disciple but Izumo Sect's disciple.
When Duan Lingtian saw Peng Bao introducing Lei Jun to him, he still smiled at Lei Jun out of courtesy for the sake of Peng Bao even though he did not really want to pay attention to Lei Jun. He considered it as a greeting.
However, the smile on his face quickly froze again.
This was because Lei Jun completely turned a blind eye to the smile on his face. It was as though he did not see it at all.
Duan Lingtian could not help but feel dissatisfied.
"Brother Ling Tian!"
At this moment, a clear voice entered Duan Lingtian's ears. He could tell that this was Peng Bao's Voice Transmission that entered his ears.
"Huh?"
The moment Duan Lingtian heard the voice, he immediately looked at Peng Bao with a puzzled expression on his face. He had no idea why Peng Bao suddenly sent him a Voice Transmission.
"Brother Ling Tian, I heard that you obtained a Profundity Fragment?"
Peng Bao's voice continued to enter Duan Lingtian's ears. There was a hint of urgency in his tone now.
Profundity Fragment?!
Upon hearing Peng Bao's words, Duan Lingtian could not help but frown. The first thought that came to his mind was that Peng Bao had also believed the rumor that framed him and was coveting the Profundity Fragment in his hands.
Soon after, Duan Lingtian realized that he had misunderstood Peng Bao.
"Brother Ling Tian, please don't misunderstand."
Peng Bao seemed to have guessed Duan Lingtian's thoughts when he saw Duan Lingtian frowning. He immediately explained through Voice Transmission, "I just want to know what kind of Profundity Fragment you obtained … It just so happens that I have an Eighth Level Monarch Stage Thunder Profundity Fragment with me. The senior officials in our Anicca Sect have no use for it."
"I'm thinking that if the Profundity Fragment in your hands is useful to the senior officials in our Anicca Sect, perhaps we can make another trade."
Peng Bao revealed his plan in one breath.
Trade?
Duan Lingtian could not help but narrow his eyes when he heard Peng Bao mentioning the Eighth Level Monarch Stage Thunder Profundity Fragment. Extreme desire filled the depth of his eyes.
His interest was piqued when Peng Bao finished his words.
'I have a total of five Profundity Fragments with me … However, the Seventh Level Monarch Stage Earth Profundity Fragment and the Eighth Level Monarch Stage Wind Profundity Fragment definitely can't be exchanged with him!'
Duan Lingtian's heart jolted. 'In that case, I'm only left with the three Profundity Fragments that I obtained from the Sword Monarch's Treasure … The three Profundity Fragments are Third Level Monarch Stage Profundity Fragments.
Perhaps, I can try to exchange the Third Level Monarch Stage Wind Profundity Fragment with him … As long as he's willing, I'll obtain the Eighth Level Monarch Stage Thunder Profundity Fragment in his hands!
At that time, the Third Level Monarch Stage Thunder Profundity Fragment in my hands is dispensable. I can hand it over to the sect. '
At that moment, Duan Lingtian thought of many things.
After regaining his senses, Duan Lingtian looked at Peng Bao immediately and said through Voice Transmission, "I'm just worried that you won't be willing to exchange … The Profundity Fragment that I obtained is only a Third Level Monarch Stage Profundity Fragment."
Third Level Monarch Stage Profundity Fragment?
As expected, Peng Bao could not help but frown when he heard what Duan Lingtian said.
The difference between a Third Level Monarch Stage Profundity Fragment and an Eighth Level Monarch Stage Profundity Fragment was extremely huge to a Martial Monarch Stage martial artist.
