Isn’t it so?
Zhao Deng looked at Duan Ling Tian disdainfully and smirked.
My son was fortunate enough to have found a Prehistoric Devil Beast’s Relic and obtained the Prehistoric Devil Beast’s legacy. For this reason, he managed to break through to the Early Divine Saint Stage from the Intermediate Eminent Stage in less than two years. Although your innate talent is high, your cultivation base is only at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage. You said you killed my son? What rubbish!

The Prehistoric Devil Beast’s Relic!
The Early Divine Saint Stage!
Gu Li was still shocked over Duan Ling Tian’s words. However, when he heard Zhao Deng’s words, he could tell Duan Ling Tian was telling the truth.
Zhao Ji was so lucky? To think he found a Prehistoric Devil Beast’s Relic and obtained its legacy. He even managed to break through to the Early Divine Saint Stage from the Intermediate Refined Saint Stage in less than two years?

When he thought of how he had only broken through to the Early Divine Saint Stage recently after arduously cultivating for a long time, he felt a sense of unfairness.



The Prehistoric Devil Beast’s Relic? The Prehistoric Devil Beast’s legacy?
Upon hearing Zhao Deng’s words, Duan Ling Tian was momentarily stunned before he burst out laughing.

Vice Mansion Master Zhao, did Zhao Ji tell you he found the Prehistoric Devil Beast’s Relic and obtained its legacy?
Duan Ling Tian looked at Zhao Deng with a peculiar smile on his face.

What are you laughing about?!
Zhao Deng’s expression turned grave. He did not know why Duan Ling Tian was laughing.

Vice Mansion Master Zhao, it seems like your son wasn’t honest even in front of you. Well, indeed, if it wasn’t for the fact that he thought that I’d die for sure, he wouldn’t have told me the truth of why his cultivation base had risen so quickly!
Duan Ling Tian looked at Zhao Deng intently when he reached the end of his sentence. The sneer on his face became even more apparent.

What do you mean? What truth?
Zhao Deng’s expression turned graver.
At this moment, Gu Li also looked at Duan Ling Tian curiously. He did not know what Duan Ling Tian was trying to say, but he was looking forward to hearing what Duan Ling Tian was going to say next.

The truth is Zhao Deng did not find any Prehistoric Devil Beast’s Relic nor did he obtain any legacy from the Prehistoric Devil Beast! The reason his cultivation base had risen so quickly was due to him cultivating the Devouring Dark Devil Technique just like former Palace Master Zhu from the Heaven Palace!
Duan Ling Tian answered Zhao Deng’s question indifferently.
When he reached the end of his sentence, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
The Devouring Dark Devil Technique!
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Gu Li’s eyes narrowed and looked at Zhao Deng with a completely different gaze.
Zhao Deng! How dare you allow your son to cultivate the Devouring Dark Devil Technique! How very bold of you!




Rubbish!
Zhao Deng glared at Duan Ling Tian as the vast energy in his body was about to surge out.
Ling Tian, my son is dead. I won’t allow you to slander him!


Slander?
Duan Ling Tian laughed.
Vice Mansion Master Zhao, I didn’t slander your good son! Everything that I know came from his own mouth. Not only that, but he even told me he was the one who arranged the meeting between Palace Master Zhu and Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion! Perhaps, Palace Master Zhu might not have done what he had done if not for your son’s instigation!
When he reached the end of his sentence, his gaze turned cold immediately.
When Zhao Deng heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he fell momentarily silent.
He could still remember during that time when he was monitoring Xu Jing, his son had come to the underground secret room where Xu Jing was imprisoned. He had stood at Xu Jing’s bedside for a long time.
At that time, he had thought his son managed to get Xu Jing to talk but his son said he had not been able to do so. Naturally, he did not suspect his son at that time.
However, now that he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he found the incident peculiar as well. Not only that, but his originally steadfast heart began to waver as well.
‘Don’t tell me Ji’er managed to get Xu Jing to talk to him at that time? Could it be he didn’t tell me because he was afraid I wouldn’t allow him to cultivate the Devouring Dark Devil Technique?’ Zhao Deng’s heart sank the moment he thought of this.

If I’m not mistaken, Zhao Ji must have known about how Palace Master Zhu was humiliated by Feng Bu Yi, the Deputy of the Mountainshade Black Market. So he seized the opportunity and fanned the flames in front of Palace Master Zhu. He knew how eager Palace Master Zhu is to seek revenge, he must have persuaded him to do this. He had single-handedly schemed and succeeded in rescuing Xu Jing!
In truth, these were all Duan Ling Tian’s speculations.

If I’m not wrong, Zhao Ji must have been absent from the Mystical Sky Mansion when the young girls in the west were turned into dried corpses, right? Not only that, but he should’ve only returned to the Mystical Sky Mansion after the incident there was revealed, right?
Duan Ling Tian asked unhurriedly as he looked at Zhao Deng.
Upon hearing that, Zhao Deng thought about it carefully. That seemed to be the case.



Stop slandering him if you don’t have any actual proof!
Naturally, although Zhao Deng began to have doubts, he still refused to admit it.
Let alone that his son was dead, he would never admit it. Even if his son did not die and had cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique, he still would not admit it.
In fact, those who cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique were widely detested in the Dao Martial Saint Land!

Actual proof?
Duan Ling Tian smiled.
Do you want me to swear on the lightning penalty oath to show you I’m not lying?


There’s no need! I won’t believe you anyway.
Zhao Deng immediately rejected Duan Ling Tian’s proposal as soon as he heard it.
However, deep in his heart, he was almost certain his son, Zhao Ji, must have cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique. Otherwise, Ling Tian would not have dared to swear on the lightning penalty oath!
Gu Li shared the same thought with Zhao Deng.

Zhao Ji actually cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique… He deserves to die then!
Gu Li said coldly. He did not bother with Zhao Deng’s piercing gaze that was aimed at him.

Fine, we’ll drop the subject for now. As for whether Zhao Ji cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique or not, I’m sure you know the answer in your heart, Vice Mansion Master Zhao,
Duan Ling Tian said as he looked at Zhao Deng.

Ling Tian, I’m going to ask you again. Who killed my son? Does the person who killed him know you? Otherwise, why is my son dead and you’re alive?
Zhao Deng asked coldly as he glared at Duan Ling Tian.



Vice Mansion Master Zhao, I’ve already told you the truth. I was the one who killed Zhao Ji. There’s nothing I can do if you refuse to believe me!
Faced with Zhao Deng’s question again, Duan Ling Tian only shook his head. When he reached the end of his sentence, he even shrugged helplessly.

Fine! Since you said you killed him, can you tell me how did a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage kill a Devil Cultivator at the Early Divine Saint Stage?
Zhao Deng’s expression turned grave again. He was getting impatient now.
If it was not for the fact that he wanted answers from Duan Ling Tian, he would have attacked him from the beginning!

Well, under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for me to kill Zhao Ji with my cultivation base…
Duan Ling Tian nodded his head. He agreed with Zhao Deng’s words.
Under Zhao Deng’s watchful gaze, he continued to say,
However, no matter how powerful Zhao Ji was, he was still a Devil Cultivator at the Early Divine Saint Stage… In front of me, even a Devil Cultivator at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage would die, let alone a Devil Cultivator at the Early Divine Saint Stage!

When he reached the end of his sentence, his body emitted confidence.
Upon hearing his words, both Zhao Deng and Gu Li were dumbfounded.
Based on his words, he could even kill a Devil Cultivator at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage?
‘That’s right! Junior Brother Ling Tian has the Devilseal Tablet with him!’ When he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words earlier, Gu Li was a little skeptical until he recalled Duan Ling Tian had the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet. He finally figured it out.
With his junior brother’s True Origin that was equivalent to a powerhouse at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage, he was indeed able to kill all Devil Cultivators under the Exemplary Saint Stage once he activated the Devilseal Tablet!


He was not lying when he said that he was able to kill a Devil Cultivator at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage!
Naturally, Gu Li knew this because he knew about Duan Ling Tian’s true identity and that he possessed the Devilseal Tablet.
However, Zhao Deng did not know about any of these.

How ridiculous!
Zhao Deng regained his senses and looked at Duan Ling Tian mockingly as he said disdainfully,
Ling Tian, even if you want to lie, at least make it believable. You’re a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage. Not only did you brag about killing an Early Divine Saint Stage Devil Cultivator, but you even said you can kill a Devil Cultivator at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage? Do you think I’ll believe your nonsense?! Perhaps, you think I’m an idiot?

When Zhao Deng reached the end of his sentence, he smirked coldly with an ‘I’m so smart’ expression on his face.
Duan Ling Tian laughed out loud for a long time before he finally stopped.

What are you laughing about?!
Zhao Deng was furious, feeling humiliated.
Don’t tell me I’m wrong?


Vice Mansion Master Zhao, you’re indeed an idiot!
Under Zhao Deng’s infuriated gaze, Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently,
Did you even hear what I said earlier? I said under normal circumstances, it would indeed be very difficult for me to kill Zhao Ji with my cultivation base… However, what if I have a weapon I can rely on? I wonder if you’ve heard of the Super Saint Weapon in the Dao Martial Saint Land’s Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking that specializes in restricting Devil Cultivators?

The Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking?
Super Saint Weapon?
The Super Saint Weapon that specialized in restricting Devil Cultivators on top of that?
‘The Devilseal Tablet!’ A thought immediately appeared in Zhao Deng’s mind.
As far as he knew, the only Super Saint Weapon that could restrict Devil Cultivators on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking was the Devilseal Tablet!
When the Devilseal Tablet was activated, one could even kill Devil Cultivators who had a higher cultivation base!
‘The Devilseal Tablet is rumored to be in a young man’s possession a few years back. His name seems to be Duan Ling Tian! Duan Ling Tian… Ling Tian…’ The moment Zhao Deng thought of this, he looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he had seen a ghost.

Y-You’re Duan Ling Tian? Impossible!
Zhao Deng shook his head in denial and dismiss his own thoughts before Duan Ling Tian could even respond.
He had seen Duan Ling Tian’s portrait before. He looked completely different from the Ling Tian standing before him. Not only that, but there were no signs of disguise on Ling Tian’s face at all.
