Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Jay
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes emitted killing intent.
He sensed the hatred Zither Young Master had towards him, that was hatred that wished for nothing more than to burn his bones and scatter his ashes…
Within the hatred was killing intent that shot towards the skies and was waiting for a chance to swallow him.
In other words, in the eyes of Zither Young Master now, it was already a matter that wouldn’t end until one of them died.
In the future, only one of them could live.
"Kill me?" Duan Ling Tian looked at Zither Young Master and said indifferently. "Zither Young Master, if you want to kill me, then feel free to come up again and fight me!" As Duan Ling Tian spoke, the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger.
He’d already decided that if Zither Young Master really dared to ascend the life and death arena again, then he wouldn’t hesitate to kill Zither Young Master and avoid any future troubles.
At that time, at most he would announce leaving the Seven Star Sword Sect and completely drawing the line between himself and the Seven Star Sword Sect.
In this way, even if the formidable Master behind Zither Young Master was infuriated, it ought to not come to the extent of implicating the Seven Star Sword Sect.
After all, it was he who would have killed Zither Young Master.
Zither Young Master was naturally able to clearly sense Duan Ling Tian’s killing intent, and when he recalled the bizarre thing that occurred two successive times, he eventually took a deep breath and suppressed the flame of rage in his heart.
"Duan Ling Tian, I’ll surely find a way to defeat your Demonic Technique!" Zither Young Master coldly swept Duan Ling Tian with his gaze, then he blew a whistle under the gazes of everyone present.
Swoosh!
Instantly, a black shadow flashed down from the clouds and mist in the horizon, seeming to have transformed into a black light that shot close to Zither Young Master.
It was the demon beast mount of Zither Young Master’s, the Dark Rock!
"Sect Leader Linghu, farewell!" Zither Young Master leaped up the Dark Roc, then swept Linghu Jin Hong with a burning gaze before looking at Duan Ling Tian with eyes that emitted killing intent that caused a chill to run down one’s spine.
"Let’s go!" Zither Young Master explosively shouted out abruptly, as he was deeply afraid that if he stayed a moment longer he would be unable to refrain from attacking Duan Ling Tian.
Although he wished for nothing more than to kill Duan Ling Tian, he didn’t lose his sanity. He wouldn’t act rashly before he had a method to defeat Duan Ling Tian’s Demonic Technique.
Otherwise, he would only be courting death.
Hu!
The Dark Roc fiercely flapped its wings that covered the sky, then carried Zither Young master to fly out and disappeared in the blink of an eye into the distant horizon.
A wave of booing arose on the peak of Dubhe Peak all around the life and death arena when they saw Zither Young Master fleeing.
"That Zither Young Master is truly laughable, he actually has a sickness that causes him to lose his mind, but he actually falsely accused Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian… What Demonic Technique, does he really think we are three year old children?"
"Perhaps, he thinks that doing this will allow him to preserve his face… Tsk tsk, the third amongst the five great young masters of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, the Zither Young Master, is nothing great!"
"Truly disappointing! A dignified Half-step Void Stage expert actually was unable to defeat Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian who hasn’t even stepped into the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage… The way I see it, Zither Young Master is a joke!"
…
The crowd of Seven Star Sword Sect disciples whispered in discussion.
Their words were filled with disdain towards Zither Young Master and admiration towards Duan Ling Tian.
Besides Zhao Lin, everyone from the Sect Leader, Linghu Jin Hong, to the Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups all revealed smiled on their faces.
To them, Duan Ling Tian was the future hope of the Seven Star Sword Sect, and now that he was fine, it was a thing worthy to be happy about.
"Duan Ling Tian, I never expected your luck is so good… You actually escaped from this calamity!" Zhao Lin’s expression was gloomy, and the depths of his eyes were suffused with killing intent as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
At this moment, the worry within the hearts of Zheng Song, Zuo Qing, Mo Yu and all the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples who had good relationships with Duan Ling Tian had vanished and a smile appeared on their faces.
"Hmph!" Hu Xue Feng’s gaze was icy cold, and his face was gloomy. "That Zither Young Master is really useless, having an attack from an old illness at the critical moment… Otherwise, Duan Ling Tian would have died long ago."
Duan Ling Tian took a stride forward in the life and death arena and intended to leave the life and death arena.
Right at this moment, his face was grim and he abruptly raised his head.
At practically the same instant, all the Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups raised their heads to look up into the sky.
The clouds and mist surged in the sky above.
Whoosh!
An incomparably swift azure colored flowing light was like a meteor as it flew downwards, and its destination was aimed straight towards the life and death arena.
Duan Ling Tian face went grim and hurriedly flashed out to leave the life and death arena.
Bang!
Duan Ling Tian heard a terrifying sound of air exploding resounding out in the air behind him, and when he turned around once again, he noticed that an enormous figure had appeared in the air above the life and death arena.
This was a flying demon beast that was covered in azure colored feathers and had an extremely hideous appearance, and it was flapping its wings to stand in the sky.
"Fifth level Void Initiation Stage demon beast!" Presently, Duan Ling Tian’s Spiritual Force had increased to the Void Prying Stage, and he was able to discover the cultivation of this demon beast by casually extending his Spiritual Force out.
"Eh, this demon beast… It seems to be slightly familiar." Duan Ling Tian sized up the demon beast before him that was like a vulture, and he had the feeling as if he’d see it somewhere.
"Lu Yuan, why did you bring this traitor with you to my Seven Star Sword Sect?" Right at this moment, Linghu Jin Hong’s voice sounded out by Duan Ling Tian’s ears.
Duan Ling Tian raised his head, and only now did he notice that there were two people standing on the back of this vulture demon beast…
He knew both of these people.
One of them was the Origin Convergence Sect’s Leader he’d met in the Demonic Lotusblade Sect one year ago, Lu Yuan.
The other person was someone that Duan Ling Tian was even more familiar of, it was exactly the traitor, Huang Ji!
The former Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple and the Sect Leader, Linghu Jin Hong’s, former personal disciples.
"Jadefeather Vulture!" Duan Ling Tian recalled that this demon beast was precisely the Sect Guardian Demon Beast of the Origin Convergence Sect.
"What did Lu Yuan bring Huang Ji for? To make a show of strength?" Duan Ling Tian frowned, as he was truly unable to understand why Lu Yuan would bring Huang Ji who was a traitor of the Seven Star Sword Sect to the Seven Star Sword Sect.
"It’s Huang Ji!"
"The traitor, Huang Ji!"
…
Meanwhile, many people recognized Huang Ji and they all let loose a torrent of abuse.
"I was wondering who it was, so it turns out to be this ungrateful bastard… He actually still has the face to come to our Seven Star Sword Sect?"
"Hmph! The Sect Leader fostered him into a genius, yet he betrayed the Sect Leader and betrayed the Seven Star Sword Sect… He’s truly disgraceful! He deserves death!"
…
Most of the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples on the peak of Dubhe Peak were filled with righteous indignation, and their words were filled with rage.
Huang Ji stood on the Jadefeather Vulture and his expression was gloomy.
"Go on and curse… Curse to your hearts content… All of you might not have the chance to curse in a moment." Huang Ji glanced coldly at the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples of the peak of Dubhe Peak, and his eyes emitted slight anger from embarrassment and disdain…
"Sect Leader Linghu, I hope that you’re well." The Origin Convergence Sect’s Leader, Lu Yuan, nodded with a smile to Linghu Jin Hong, then he paid no further attention to Linghu Jin Hong and shot his burning gaze onto a person who was outside the life and death arena.
Duan Ling Tian frowned when he noticed Lu Yuan’s gaze.
"What that does Lu Yuan want to do?" Duan Ling Tian’s heart jerked and a bad premonition faintly arose in his heart.
"Duan Ling Tian, when we met for the first time one year ago, you used a cultivation at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Stage to defeat the Demonic Lotusblade Sect’s Saber Young Master, Long Yun, and I was already rather shocked… But I never imagined that even the Zither Young Master, Zi Shang, was actually helpless against you today," Lu Yuan looked at Duan Ling Tian and said slowly.
"It was only luck." Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently.
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian was secretly shocked in his heart.
Earlier, his Spiritual Force had touched Lu Yuan and he noticed that Lu Yuan’s cultivation was actually not inferior to Linghu Jin Hong, and he was also an existence at the sixth level of the Void Initiation Stage.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Right at this moment, another two enormous figures that were like small hills whistled in the air as they descended from high in the sky, descending to stand in the sky above Dubhe Peak and formed a triangular formation with the Origin Convergence Sect’s Jadefeather Vulture.
"Snow Moon Sect’s Leader?" Duan Ling Tian’s gaze descended onto one of the enormous demon beasts.
This was a white crane and it was precisely the Snow Moon Sect’s Sect Guarding Demon Beast, Cloudsoar Crane, and Duan Ling Tian had seen it once a year ago.
Whereas the Snow Moon Sect’s Leader stood with graceful bearing on the back of the Cloudsoar Crane.
"This Cloudsoar Crane is at the fourth level of the Void Initiation Stage… The Snow Moon Sect’s Leader is at the fifth level of the Void Initiation Stage." Duan Ling Tian’s Spiritual Force told him the exact cultivation of the man and beast before him.
In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian’s gaze moved to descend onto the other enormous Demon Beast.
This was a large bird that was completely crimson red and had an extremely strange appearance, as it lightly flapped its wings, it gave rise to a gust of hot winds that were like two balls of flames that were jumping about ceaselessly.
"Demonic Lotusblade Sect’s Leader!" Before Long, Duan Ling Tian’s gaze descended onto the robust middle aged man that stood on the back of the crimson red large bird, wasn’t that the Demonic Lotusblade Sect’s Leader, Sect Leader Long?
"This demon beast with completely crimson red feather is actually similar to the Origin Convergence Sect’s Jadefeather Vulture and is a demon beast at the fifth level of the Void Initiation Stage… Besides that, the Demonic Lotusblade Sect’s Leader is actually an existence at the sixth level of the Void Initiation Stage!" Duan Ling Tian’s Spiritual Force swept out and his mind was incomparably turbulent after a short moment.
"It probably isn’t for anything good that the three great Sect Leaders have arrived at the Seven Star Sword Sect." Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and the feeling of danger in his heart increased.
It wasn’t just Duan Ling Tian who felt danger, all the Seven Star Sword Sect higher-ups had gone grim as well.
"May I know why all three of you have come to my Seven Star Sword Sect this time?" Linghu Jin Hong looked at the three Sect Leaders on the three demon beasts, and he had a serious expression as he asked with a low voice.
The three Sect Leaders had come here in unison, and something unusual was going on.
"Sect Leader Linghu!" The Demonic Lotusblade Sect’s Leader looked at Linghu Jin Hong and laughed heartily. "I’ve come to the Seven Star Sword Sect with Sect Leader Lu and Sect Leader Xue this time for only one thing… That is to combine our sects!"
Combine the sects?
As soon as the Demonic Lotusblade Sect’s Leader finished speaking, everyone from the Seven Star Sword Sect that was on the peak of Dubhe Peak had puzzled expressions.
"Combine the sects?" Duan Ling Tian’s heart jerked. "I was right… The three great sect’s arrival was really filled with bad intentions."
"Sect Leader Long, please express it clearly," Linghu Jin Hong frowned and said in a low voice.
"From today onwards, my Demonic Lotusblade Sect will combine with the Origin Convergence Sect and Snow Moon Sect… We’ll be uniformly called the Azure Forest Tri-Sect! Today, so long as your Seven Star Sword Sect combines with our three sects, then our four sects will be uniformly called the Azure Forest Quad-Sect." The Demonic Lotusblade Sect’s Leader spoke slowly.
