What’s he doing here?
Duan Ling Tian frowned when he heard Li An and stopped comprehending the Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier.
Currently, he had already spent six months comprehending the Black Turtle’s Barrier in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. However, he only managed to scratch the surface of it despite trying to comprehend it for six months. Perhaps, his progress would satisfy many of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples, but it was not good enough for him.
Previously, when he comprehended the two high-grade Divine Abilities, the Elementary Devouring Tactic and Otherworldly Celestial, it did not take long for him to comprehend and master them. However, he had spent six months comprehending the Black Turtle’s Barrier, but he did not make much progress. It was only natural that he felt dissatisfied and unhappy.
No one knew how much progress Duan Ling Tian had made with the Black Turtle’s Barrier. Otherwise, the disciples who were diligently comprehending the Black Turtle’s Barrier but did not make any progress would be so jealous that their eyes might even turn red. If they could read Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts, they would probably feel like kicking him a few times to vent their anger.

It seems like this concerns the matter with Gu Chun!
Duan Ling Tian suddenly remembered the matter concerning Gu Chun, and he managed to guess the reason Li An had come looking for him in anger. This was the only plausible reason.


Although Duan Ling Tian knew why Li An had come to look for him, he did not look worried at all. He was calm.
Swish!
With just a thought, he left the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
After he put away the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, he opened the door and walked out of the Tertius house.
The moment he walked out of the Tertius house, he discovered thousands of eyes looking at him. It was obvious he was the focus of everyone’s attention.
Among all the eyes that were looking at him, two pairs of eyes felt a little different. The eyes were cold and filled with killing intent.
Before he even turned around to look at them, he already knew to whom those eyes belonged to. It had to be Li An and his disciple, Gu Chun!
It was easy for him to guess to whom those eyes belonged to because apart from Li An and his disciple, he had no enmity with other people in the Black Turtle Sanctum.
The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples looked at Duan Ling Tian sympathetically.

Elder Li An, is there a reason you came looking for me?
Duan Ling Tian rose in the air and stood near Li An. He looked at Li An calmly as though he did not know what was wrong.


The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples were shocked when they saw how calm Duan Ling Tian was. Li An’s eyes turned cold as he shouted,
Duan Ling Tian, how dare you?!
His voice was thunderous, frightening the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples who were watching.
Some Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples with lower cultivation were so shocked that they paled immediately.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian, the party involved, remained calm from the beginning until the end. His expression remained unchanged even when Li An shouted, he did not even bat an eye.

Duan Ling Tian seems to have angered Elder Li An!


I’ve been in the Black Turtle Sanctum for six years now, this is my first time seeing Elder Li An so angry… I really can’t figure out what Duan Ling Tian has done to anger him to this point!


We’ll find out if we continue to watch.


Many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples whispered among themselves as they watched the scene unfolding before their eyes. They knew this was going to be a good show.

Elder Li An, what do you mean? I’m sorry, but I don’t understand,
Duan Ling Tian asked with a frown. He had a confused expression on his face.
Before Li An could reply, Gu Chun who stood behind him shouted,
Duan Ling Tian, stop acting! You destroyed my Innate Spiritual Root, but you’re acting dumb now?!




I destroyed your Innate Spiritual Root?
A bewildered expression appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face when he heard Gu Chun’s words. Then, he looked at Gu Chun before smirking coldly.
Gu Chun, if you’re going to make accusations, you should at least come up with a better story, right? How can I destroy your Innate Spiritual Root? Do you think that’s something I’m capable of doing? Do you think we’re all idiots or do you think Elder Li An is an idiot?
Duan Ling Tian looked at Gu Chun as though he was looking at an idiot.

You… You…
Gu Chun became even more angered when he saw Duan Ling Tian refusing to admit what he had done.
What angered him even more was apart from Duan Ling Tian looking at him as though he was an idiot, even the thousands of Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples were looking at him as though he was an idiot as well.

Gu Chun said that Duan Ling Tian destroyed his Innate Spiritual Root?


What a joke! Who doesn’t know that Innate Spiritual Roots are hidden in the soul? If one touches the Innate Spiritual Root one would inevitably touch the soul as well. Even a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse can’t destroy another person’s Innate Spiritual Root without destroying that person’s soul!


He should come up with a better story! Does Gu Chun think we’re all stupid like him?


Even if he wants to accuse Duan Ling Tian of something, he should’ve come up with something more believable. He’s really bold!


To think Elder Li An personally came for this. Don’t tell me he believes Gu Chun’s story?

The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples discussed among themselves.
Based on their discussion, it could be seen that none of them believed Gu Chun’s words at all since it defied everything they knew. Apart from that, many of them also looked at Li An with a strange gaze.


Li An was a Silver Flame Elder in the Black Turtle Sanctum. For this reason, the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples did not dare to say much about him. This was about Duan Ling Tian alone after all, there was no benefit for them if they spoke up for him.
Although they did not dare to speak up in front of Elder Li An, some Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples began to discuss among themselves through Voice Transmission.

If Elder Li An really believes Gu Chun, then he must be an idiot like Gu Chun!


I don’t think Elder Li An believes Gu Chun.


If he doesn’t believe him, why would he come looking for Duan Ling Tian in anger as though he means to seek revenge from him?


Perhaps, he just wants a good excuse to get rid of Duan Ling Tian. Although we know it’s impossible for Duan Ling Tian to destroy Gu Chun’s Innate Spiritual Root, Elder Li An can use this reason and frame him. If he’s found guilty, he would be considered as breaking the rules of the Fire Worship Sect since it’s maliciously harming a disciple of the sect.


That’s right! Why didn’t I think of this? If he can push the blame to Duan Ling Tian, he’ll be able to kill Duan Ling Tian! Elder Li An is really ruthless!

Many discussions carried through Voice Transmission were similar in thought.
Many of the disciples looked at Li An in fear when they discovered how ruthless the First Silver Flame Elder of Black Turtle Sanctum was! This Silver Flame Elder would stop at nothing to achieve what he wanted.
Then, they shifted their eyes to Duan Ling Tian. Their eyes were filled with sympathy.


Many people sighed inwardly. They did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to survive today.

Duan Ling Tian!
Li An said under the watchful eyes of the others. His voice was cold as he said,
I know you won’t admit to destroying my disciple’s Innate Spiritual Root. However, it’s true that Gu Chun has lost his Innate Spiritual Root. This has also been confirmed by Lord Sanctum Leader!
His eyes glinted coldly when he reached the end of his sentence.
His words shocked the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples. They did not expect Li An would bring up the Sanctum Leader of Black Turtle Sanctum!
The Sanctum Leader was the strongest person in the Black Turtle Sanctum. If Li An lied, it would be equivalent to him dishonoring the Sanctum Leader. If that was the case, the Sanctum Leader would not let Li An go. Due to this reason, they realized Li An was telling the truth.
Gu Chun really did lose his Innate Spiritual Root!

H-How is this possible?!


I haven’t heard of anyone surviving after their Innate Spiritual Roots are destroyed… However, since Elder Li An dared to mention Lord Sanctum Leader, it has to be true!


What’s going on? Don’t tell me Duan Ling Tian really destroyed Gu Chun’s Innate Spiritual Root?

The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples whispered among themselves again as they shifted their eyes to Duan Ling Tian as fear rose in their hearts.
One must admit that as the First Silver Flame Elder of the Black Turtle Sanctum, Li An had many tricks up his sleeve! With just a few sentences, he managed to change the public’s opinion!
Even if Duan Ling Tian was unwilling, he had to admit Li An was dealing with the matter in a brilliant way.

Elder Li An, since you mentioned Lord Sanctum Leader, I have no choice but to believe Gu Chun has lost his Innate Spiritual Root despite my unwillingness!
Duan Ling Tian looked at Li An as the disciples looked at him and said solemnly,
I believe Elder Li An won’t use Lord Sanctum Leader’s name so recklessly!


Lord Sanctum Leader is the master of Black Turtle Sanctum. Naturally, I won’t use his name casually. Moreover, I don’t have the courage to do such things!
Li An smirked.
If he did not need a good excuse to kill Duan Ling Tian, he would not waste so many words with Duan Ling Tian.

Even then, what proof do you have that I destroyed Gu Chun’s Innate Spiritual Root, Elder Li An?
Duan Ling Tian’s expression was still as calm as ever.
Based on my knowledge, Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses or above can probe and sense someone’s Innate Spiritual Root. With my current cultivation base, it’s impossible for me to probe or detect one’s Innate Spiritual Root, let alone destroying an Innate Spiritual Root.
