Chapter 1938: The Tyrannical Yang Chong

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“This…” The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples who came out to watch the show after hearing Li An called out to Duan Ling Tian was surprised at once when they heard the words the huge-built old man said to Duan Ling Tian. They were all momentarily stunned before they finally regained their senses.

This old man told Duan Ling Tian to kill himself?

“Who’s he?” The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples present on the scene were curious about the identity of the old man with a huge-built old man.

Kill yourself?

When Duan Ling Tian heard the huge-built old man’s words, he was stunned. Then, he narrowed his eyes as it flashed coldly.

When Duan Ling Tian sensed the murderous intent from the old man and heard the words he said, coupled with him being in Li An’s company, even if Duan Ling Tian was slow-witted, he would have been able to guess the old man was Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect! He was the father of Yang Wu whom he had killed!

Based on what he knew, Yang Chong and Li An were good friends.

Duan Ling Tian rose into the sky and stood at the same level Yang Chong as he glanced at him lazily. He asked indifferently, “Yang Chong, this is not the Northern Plethora Sect, and I’m not a Northern Plethora Sect’s disciple. Don’t you think you’re overstepping the boundary by asking me to kill myself?”

“Yang Chong?!” The moment his words left his mouth, the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples in the surroundings burst into an uproar.

“So he’s actually Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect! He’s ranked 146th on the Supreme Saint Rankings!”

“I’ve long heard that Yang Chong, the fifth elder of Northern Plethora Sect, is close friends with our Black Turtle Sanctum’s Elder Li An, but this is my first time seeing this Northern Plethora Sect’s fifth elder. However, why does it seem like he has some deep-seated enmity with Duan Ling Tian?”

“When Duan Ling Tian just arrived at the Black Turtle Sanctum, he has publicly offended Li An. However, the first time he offended Elder Li An is not known by everyone.”

“What is it?”

“When Duan Ling Tian first arrived at the Black Turtle Sanctum, Yang Wu, the son of the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, provoked him. After that, Yang Wu even issued a Death Duel to Duan Ling Tian, but it resulted in Yang Wu’s death. Elder Li An was present on the scene as well at that time.”

“Oh, I see. He killed the son of Elder Li An’s best friend in front of Elder Li An. No wonder Elder Li An is angry!”

“Well, it’s not Duan Ling Tian’s fault! The dispute between Duan Ling Tian and Yang Wu was started by Yang Wu. In fact, Yang Wu was the one who issued the Death Duel. No matter what, I don’t think Duan Ling Tian is at fault for killing Yang Wu!”

As some Black Turtle Sanctum’s whispered among themselves, the rest of the disciples who were unaware of the origin of the enmity between Duan Ling Tian and Li An finally found out what had happened.

For this reason, they were no longer surprised by the words Yang Chong, the fifth elder of Northern Plethora Sect, had said to Duan Ling Tian.

They all felt that Yang Chong was acting too arrogant. Did he think he was still in the Northern Plethora Sect and that his identity as the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect meant anything here?

“I’ll give you one last chance. Kill yourself in within ten breaths! I won’t be lenient and give you another chance!” Yang Chong ordered Duan Ling Tian to kill himself again. Moreover, this time he even gave Duan Ling Tian a time limit. He spoke without any hints of restraint.

He acted as though he would kill Duan Ling Tian if Duan Ling Tian did not abide by his words.

An ominous feeling rose in Duan Ling Tian’s heart when he heard his words. Then, he forcefully suppressed the feeling as he looked at Yang Chong with mocking smile.”Yang Chong, are you deaf? Do I have to repeat myself!” Duan Ling Tian had an expression of disdain on his face as he said, “This is not the Northern Plethora Sect so your identity as the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect means nothing here. Kill myself in ten breaths? Even if you give me 100 breaths, I still won’t kill myself. What are you going to do about it? Don’t tell me you’re going to kill me? Don’t forget that this is the Black Turtle Sanctum, one of the Four Symbols Sanctums in the Fire Worship Sect! It’s not a place where you, Yang Chong, can act as you like! In this place, you don’t have a right to order me around, let alone dictate whether I should live or die!” Duan Ling Tian’s words were spoken loudly and clearly with no hint of politeness at all.

Since the other party had come all the way here to ask him to kill himself, he would be a coward if he still spoke to him politely.

Being a coward is not Duan Ling Tian’s style.

Many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples present on the scene agreed with Duan Ling Tian’s words. Their blood began to boil with indignation. If it was not for the fact that they were afraid of offending Li An, they would have cheered loudly for Duan Ling Tian.

Yang Chong did not expect Duan Ling Tian would be so impolite and blunt. It caused his expression to darken immediately.

Li An’s expression turned grave as well as he said coldly, “Duan Ling Tian, Elder Yang Chong is a distinguished guest of the Black Turtle Sanctum! As a Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple, how dare you be so rude? Did you think the rules of the Fire Worship Sect is inflexible?”

A strange expression appeared on many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples’ faces when they heard Li An’s words.

Duan Ling Tian instantly burst out laughing, causing Li An’s expression to turn even graver.

If Li An did not fear being punished and expelled from the Fire Worship Sect, he would kill Duan Ling Tian and ripped him into a thousand pieces.

“What are you laughing about?” Li An asked coldly. His voice was so cold that it sent chills running up people’s spines.

“What am I laughing about?” Duan Ling Tian stopped laughing as he looked at Li An with a mocking expression. “Elder Li An, you know why I am laughing. Is there a need for you ask me why? A distinguished guest of our Black Turtle Sanctum you said? From what I can see, he’s your distinguished guest, right?! Sect’s rules? Elder Li An, are you sure you want to start discussing sect’s rules with me? Although I don’t know all the rules in the Fire Worship Sect, I believe the rules have to be strictly implemented since the sect has managed to last this long. There must be a rule to deal with people who join forces with outsiders to oppress sect members!” Duan Ling Tian glanced at Li An knowingly when he finished speaking.

“Who are you accusing of joining forces with outsiders to oppress sect members?!” Li An’s expression turned graver. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would accuse him publicly of such a crime. If news of this spread out, it would not be good for him.

Apart from the Sanctum Leader, there were many people in the Fire Worship Sect he had to be afraid of

“Duan Ling Tian, do you know it’s a crime to slander a sect elder?” Li An’s eyes were gleaming coldly as he stared at Duan Ling Tian like a poisonous snake that was about to strike.

“Slander? Slander my sect elder?” Duan Ling Tian laughed. “Elder Li An, did you say I slandered someone? May I know who I slandered? You said I’ve slandered my sect elder so can you please tell me who have I slandered? There are so many seniors here. You can ask any of them to be your witness. Did anyone of them hear me slandering a sect elder?”

When the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples present on the scene heard such a shameless statement from Duan Ling Tian, they could not help but laugh.

However, they did not dare to laugh too loudly since they were afraid of Li An.

They were delighted when they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. It was apparent that Li An was colluding with an outsider to deal with their sect member. It was only natural they felt angry on his behalf.

If Li An had dealt with Duan Ling Tian without involving an outsider, they might not have felt anything since it was just an internal strife.

However, when Li An joined forces with the Yang Chong, the fifth elder of Northern Plethora Sect, to deal with Duan Ling Tian, it changed the situation entirely. As a Fire Worship Sect and Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple like Duan Ling Tian, they would naturally empathize with him.

An outsider was still an outsider after all!

“You… You…”Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s shameless statement, Li An was so infuriated that he was rendered speechless.

When he thought about it again, he realized Duan Ling Tian did not mention any names at all.

If he continued to pursue this matter, it would be apparent that he was guilty.

“You really have a few tricks up your sleeve!” Yang Chong said as he looked at Duan Ling Tian nonchalantly, “Duan Ling Tian, ten breaths have gone by. I’ve already given you a chance to appease me. I hope you don’t regret your decision in the future!”

“Regret?” Duan Ling Tian sneered. “What’s there for me to regret?!”

“If you at least have a green Spiritual Root, there might be some words that I can’t say since I’m wary of the Fire Worship Sect!” Although Yang Chong was patient, faced with Duan Ling Tian’s sneer, he became furious. “However, you are merely a commoner with a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. There are some words that even if I say out loud, the Fire Worship Sect won’t come for me. That’s right! If you continue to hide in the Fire Worship Sect, I, Yang Chong, won’t be able to touch you, but can you guarantee that all of your friends and family have a strong backing to deter me?” He chuckled sinisterly when he reached the end of his sentence.

He did not hesitate to threaten Duan Ling Tian. “If I can’t deal with you, I’ll deal with your friends and family instead!”

“I believe with the network of intelligence in the Northern Plethora Sect and my own strength, it won’t be difficult for me to find out about your background,” Yang Chong remarked indifferently, “It’s unfortunate that you didn’t kill yourself when I asked you to. You could’ve protected your friends and family. I really feel sad for them for having such a friend and family like you! Duan Ling Tian, even if you hide in the Fire Worship Sect forever, I’ll still make sure you suffer from the pain of losing all of your friends and family! I, Yang Chong, the fifth elder of Northern Plethora Sect, promise you this!”
