When Zhu Lu Qi encountered Duan Ling Tian, he did not address him as Ling Tian but as Duan Ling Tian instead. Although Duan Ling Tian looked completely different, he could tell from Gu Li’s presence that the young man before him, the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, was Ling Tian the former number one genius among the younger generation in the Mystical Sky Mansion!
Ever since Duan Ling Tian made his appearance in the dragon clan to fulfill the five-year pact, and Gu Li’s presence next to the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion had been exposed, Duan Ling Tian’s fake identity had also been exposed.
That genius whose innate talent had taken all quasi third-rate forces in the Lower Province by surprise had turned out to be the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion.
This news had spread out quickly as soon as the five-year pact was over.
Perhaps, outsiders would only feel slightly shocked when they heard the news. However, when Zhu Lu Qi heard it, he felt differently from the others. This was because he was originally the Palace Master of the Heaven Palace in Mystical Sky Mansion, and Duan Ling Tian had joined the Heaven Palace. He had interacted with him a few times.


However, it did not cross his mind, even in his wildest dreams, that the monstrous genius, Ling Tian, would turn out to be the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion!

What? You’re not afraid of me?
Zhu Lu Qi asked as he swung the bloody head in his hand when he saw how calm Duan Ling Tian was.
Although the head he held in his hand was mostly covered in blood, Duan Ling Tian and Gu Li could instantly tell it belonged to Feng Bu Yi, the Deputy Leader of the Mountainshade Black Market.
Not only was Feng Bu Yi killed by Zhu Lu Qi, but he was even decapitated. It was a tragic sight!

Why should I be scared?
Duan Ling Tian asked in response to Zhu Lu Qi’s question.
Zhu Lu Qi was rendered speechless by Duan Ling Tian’s answer. Duan Ling Tian no longer spoke, and they only stared at each other.
Both of them were calm, but Gu Li who was standing at the side became anxious. He quickly transmitted his voice using Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian.
Junior Brother Ling Tian, this Zhu Lu Qi is no longer the former Palace Master Zhu of our Heaven Palace! He has cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique. Currently, he’s a Devil Cultivator who kills people as though they’re flies! Don’t act recklessly. Otherwise, we’ll be doomed if we anger him!

Gu Li was afraid Duan Ling Tian would anger Zhu Lu Qi.
Since Zhu Lu Qi could kill the Deputy Leader of Mountainshade Black Market, Feng Bu Yi, this meant his cultivation base must have either entered the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage or the peak of the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage! Such a powerhouse was not someone he was a match for.
As for Duan Ling Tian, even if he unleashed all his techniques and used his movement Divine Ability, his speed was only at the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage.


His attacks were far from the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage.
All of this could be seen when Duan Ling Tian kept dodging Di Jue’s attack during the five-year pact. Due to this reason, Gu Li did not think Duan Ling Tian was a match for Zhu Lu Qi.
Zhu Lu Qi was not like Di Jue. He was a true powerhouse at the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage or above. Not only that, but he was not the kind of half-assed Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse transformed by the inherited Divine Ability like Di Jue.
In the end, Duan Ling Tian broke the silence first and asked,
Palace Master Zhu, the reason you beheaded Feng Bu Yi is to announce to everybody on the Dao Martial Saint Land that you’ve killed him, right?


That’s right!
Zhu Lu Qi nodded.
Duan Ling Tian, I must admit you’re indeed very smart. However, are you really not worried that I’ll kill you?
When Zhu Lu Qi reached the end of his sentence, his eyes flashed coldly.

Will you?
Duan Ling Tian asked in return.
Zhu Lu Qi did not expect Duan Ling Tian would remain so calm. He was rendered speechless once again.
After a while, he shook his head.
I won’t.


Then, there’s no problem at all.
Duan Ling Tian smiled indifferently.

Are Fei Xuan and the others o-okay?
Zhu Lu Qi asked after taking a deep breath.



They’re doing well,
Gu Li replied before Duan Ling Tian could answer him,
Before this, the Zhao Clan had intentionally made things difficult for them after you left the Mystical Sky Mansion. It was Junior Brother Ling Tian who stood up for them and even signed the Death Pact with a member from the Zhao Clan and killed him! Ever since then, although everyone knows they no longer have you to rely on, nobody dares to make things difficult for them.

Gu Li was trying to fish for compliments. In his opinion, if Zhu Lu Qi felt grateful to Duan Ling Tian, he would not attack them. He had no choice but to be on guard!
After all, as the saying went, ‘Caution is the parent of safety!’

Thank you.
After hearing Gu Li’s words, various expressions fleeted across Zhu Lu Qi’s face before it returned to normal. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

There’s no need to thank me, Palace Master Zhu… Wang Fei Xuan is my friend, and even if she’s not your disciple, I won’t stand idly at the side,
Duan Ling Tian said as he shook his head.

No matter what, I still need to thank you. I, Zhu Lu Qi, have always known how to distinguish between kindness and ill-will!
Zhu Lu Qi replied solemnly.

I can see that.
Duan Ling Tian nodded his head solemnly as he glanced at the bloody head in Zhu Lu Qi’s hand.
If it was not for the fact that he could clearly distinguish kindness and ill-will, why would he abandon himself and succumb to cultivating the Devil Dao Cultivation Method, the Devouring Dark Devil Technique that everybody hated in order to kill Feng Bu Yi?

However, it really did not cross my mind that you’re the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. Duan Ling Tian, you’ve deceived everyone, including me.
Suddenly, as though he was reminded of something, Zhu Lu Qi looked at Duan Ling Tian and changed the topic as he sighed.
Based on the expression on his face, it was clear he did not blame Duan Ling Tian.



Palace Master Zhu, I’m afraid you have misunderstood. I didn’t deceive all of you.
Duan Ling Tian shook his head.
When I was at the Mystical Sky Mansion, although I knew my father is in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, I didn’t know he’s the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. I only left the Mystical Sky Mansion and went to the Azure Cloud Mansion to reunite with my family after I found out that I’m the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion.


That’s indeed the case.
Gu Li nodded in support of Duan Ling Tian’s words.

I see.
Zhu Lu Qi finally understood.
Then, in that case, it’s me who’ve misunderstood you.

It was apparent that Zhu Lu Qi did not doubt Duan Ling Tian’s words. Duan Ling Tian did not have to deceive him.

Palace Master Zhu, the reason you cultivated the Devouring Dark Devil Technique is to seek revenge, right?
Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at Zhu Lu Qi.
Zhu Lu Qi did not expect Duan Ling Tian to ask about this suddenly so his eyes narrowed instinctively.

Junior Brother Ling Tian!
Gu Li panicked and asked anxiously through Voice Transmission,
Why did you ask him about this?

In Gu Li’s opinion, the Devouring Dark Devil Technique was like a scar on Zhu Lu Qi’s body. It was okay if nobody prodded it. However, if someone prodded it, he would definitely be enraged out of humiliation.
Duan Ling Tian’s action was akin to pouring salt on Zhu Lu Qi’s wound!

Yes.
However, to Gu Li’s surprise, faced with Duan Ling Tian’s question, Zhu Lu Qi thought about it for a moment before he nodded.



Do you regret it?
Duan Ling Tian asked.

I didn’t in the beginning. However, now that I killed him, I’m beginning to regret it.
Zhu Lu Qi sighed as he glanced Feng Bu Yi’s head that he held in his hand.

What can you do now even if you regret it? Don’t tell me you can stop absorbing young women’s vital blood and essence to cultivate?
Duan Ling Tian shook his head.

Of course, I can.
To Duan Ling Tian’s surprise, Zhu Lu Qi nodded.
The Devouring Dark Devil Technique was first cultivated using the negative Lunaray Force at night and was an orthodox top-tier Devil Dao Cultivation Method! However, somebody eventually created a shortcut to cultivate by absorbing young women’s vital essence and blood. The cultivation speed is much faster and far surpasses the speed of ordinary cultivation by several times! Since I’ve avenged myself, there’s no longer any need for me to use the shortcut!
Zhu Lu Qi muttered as he stared at Feng Bu Yi’s head.

I hope you mean what you said, Palace Master Zhu.
Duan Ling Tian looked at Zhu Lu Qi meaningfully before motioning to Gu Li to leave. Without bidding goodbye to Zhu Lu Qi, they proceeded to leave.
There was no need for them to take a detour so they continued to make their way north.
Staring at Duan Ling Tian and Gu Li’s silhouettes that were disappearing before his eyes, Zhu Lu Qi finally made his move.
He brought Feng Bu Yi’s head and made his way to the estate of the Mountainshade Black Market’s headquarter.
Thud!
A faint sound resonated and shocked the few guards in front of the great entrance of the Mountainshade Black Market’s headquarter.
What’s this?!

When they shifted their eyes to the source of the sound, they noticed a head on the ground. They were immediately shocked again!
Before the few guards at the great entrance of the Mountainshade Black Market’s headquarter could see the face of the head clearly, a boisterous voice resonated in a timely manner,
Please pass a message to Leader Dugu and say this is a huge present from Zhu Lu Qi to the Mountainshade Black Market!

Upon hearing this voice, horror dawned on the few guards.
At this moment, they would have lived their lives in vain if they still could not tell that somebody had come to provoke their Mountainshade Black Market.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
The sounds of wind whistling could be heard as the few disciples who were patrolling the area above the sky of the estate of the Mountainshade Black Market’s headquarter charged toward the source of the voice, trying to find the person who dared to provoke their Mountainshade Black Market.
Unfortunately, that person seemed to have left the moment he finished speaking. The disciples on patrol from the Mountainshade Black Market could not find him at all.

Lord Deputy Leader?
At this moment, the few guards who remained at the great entrance of the Mountainshade Black Market’s headquarter had also finally seen the face of the head.
Was that not Feng Bu Yi, the First Deputy Leader of Mountainshade Black Market?

Deputy Leader has been killed?


Not only was he killed, but he was decapitated as well!


Just how strong is his enemy?!

…
Each of the guards was terrified and alarmed. They did not expect there was someone so bold in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land that he dared to provoke their Mountainshade Black Market in such a brazen manner.
Was that person not afraid of death?

That’s right! Earlier, didn’t the voice said his name’s Zhu Lu Qi?
One of the guards quickly regained his senses.
