Chapter 1951: The Fire Worship Sect’s Unspoken RuleTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Finally, after a span of ten breaths had passed, the two Spiritual Pearls in Duan Ling Tian’s hands began to shine with a blue light, announcing to the world his Innate Spiritual Root.

“He really has a blue Innate Spiritual Root!” Wu Yi’s eyes widened. Previously, he did not believe that Duan Ling Tian possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root since he had heard news from the Black Turtle Sanctum that Duan Ling Tian had a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. However, now that he had seen them with his own eyes, he had no choice but to believe them!

“Blue Innate Spiritual Roots!” Having seen the results of the two Spiritual Pearls in Duan Ling Tian’s hands, Guo Xiong was at a loss as well.

When he regained his senses, he inwardly cursed the Black Turtle Sanctum’s Bronze Flame Elder who tested Duan Ling Tian’s Innate Spiritual Root back then. He had actually mistaken a Martial Dao prodigy with a blue Innate Spiritual Root as a mediocre person with yellow Innate Spiritual Root! Not only did that elder sabotaged the progress of this Martial Dao prodigy, but he was even pushing him away from the Fire Worship Sect!

“Duan Ling Tian… Why don’t you accept me as your master and join the Vermilion Bird Sanctum instead?” Wu Yi looked at Duan Ling Tian with narrowed eyes with a hint of hope. He revealed a smile that he thought looked kind. Presently, he seemed to have forgotten his displeasure with Duan Ling Tian. As soon as he spoke again, he was asking Duan Ling Tian to become his disciple!

In the Fire Worship Sect, a Martial Dao prodigy with blue Spiritual Roots had always been fought over by Silver Flame Elders to be taken in as a disciple. As a Silver Flame Elder in the Vermilion Bird Sanctum, Wu Yi was, naturally, not an exception.

“There’s nothing left for you in the Black Turtle Sanctum… You’ve already offended that petty Li An. You’re only looking for trouble if you continue to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum! If you’re willing to accept me as your master, I’ll ask the Lord Sanctum Leader of Vermilion Bird Sanctum to speak with the Lord Sanctum Leader of Black Turtle Sanctum and bring you over from the Black Turtle Sanctum!” Wu Yi’s voice contained a hint of urgency when he spoke.

While Duan Ling Tian was in a dilemma since he intended to refuse Wu Yi’s offer, Guo Xiong immediately turned to look at Wu Yi and cursed, “Bull shit! Duan Ling Tian is a Martial Dao prodigy from the Black Turtle Sanctum. How dare you try and steal him away in front of me? Do you think I’m dead?”

“Guo Xiong, how can you say that!” Wu Yi was slightly unhappy when he heard Guo Xiong’s words. He said with a straight face, “Currently, there’s no one in the Four Symbols Sanctums who doesn’t know about Duan Ling Tian’s situation in the Black Turtle Sanctum. If Duan Ling Tian continues to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum, who knows when he’ll be killed by Li An… It’s not like you don’t know Li An. He’s a ruthless person who would use all kinds of methods just to achieve his goals!”

“In the past, he thought Duan Ling Tian is merely someone mediocre with a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. That’s why he’s taking his own sweet time to deal with him. However, if he discovers that Duan Ling Tian possesses a blue Spiritual Root, he would definitely do everything in his power to get rid of Duan Ling Tian!”

This was one of the reasons Wu Yi had consolidated his Flame Territory to block everyone’s sight.

If Li An discovered that Duan Ling Tian possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root. he was afraid Li An would kill this Martial Dao prodigy in the cradle.

“Therefore, I think it’s best for Duan Ling Tian to come to the Vermilion Bird Sanctum… It’s too dangerous for him to continue staying in the Black Turtle Sanctum! After all, Li An will learn about his blue Innate Spiritual Root sooner or later,” Wu Yi said.

After listening to Wu Yi, various expressions flitted across Guo Xiong’s face.

“Elder Guo Xiong, I know you also intend on taking Duan Ling Tian as your disciple. The reason you didn’t say anything is due to the fact that you know that you can’t protect him from Li An. Let him go. Let him join the Vermilion Bird Sanctum. Li An won’t dare to act as he pleases in the Vermilion Bird Sanctum!” Wu Yi advised Guo Xiong.

“Humph!” Guo Xiong sneered. “Although I can’t guarantee I can protect Duan Ling Tian, it doesn’t mean there’s no one in the Black Turtle Sanctum who can protect him!”

“You…”

Upon hearing Guo Xiong’s words, Wu Yi’s eyes widened in surprise as he asked, “You plan to introduce Duan Ling Tian to the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum?”

“That’s right.” Guo Xiong nodded.

“Elder Guo Xiong!”

Wu Yi became anxious when he saw how serious Guo Xiong was. He was really unwilling to let such a talented person slip through his fingers. “Please consider my age and the fact that I still don’t have a decent direct disciple. Give Duan Ling Tian to me. I, Wu Yi, will owe you a favor! I’ll definitely remember this favor!”

Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless as he watched the scene unfolding before him. Wu Yi did not even ask for his opinion from the beginning until the end.

Guo Xiong who was getting annoyed by how persistent Wu Yi was saw how speechless Duan Ling Tian was, and his eyes brightened up immediately. He quickly said, “Elder Wu Yi, there’s no point in telling me all this. If Duan Ling Tian isn’t willing to stay in the Vermilion Bird Sanctum, are you going to tie him up here? In my opinion, it’s best if you ask him what he wants instead of trying to persuade me. You’re doing things the wrong way.” With these words, Guo Xiong instantly pushed the problem, Wu Yi, to Duan Ling Tian.

When Wu Yi turned to look at him, Duan Ling Tian had an apologetic expression on his face as he said, “Elder Wu Yi, I’m sorry… I wish to stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum to master the

Black Turtle Sanctum’s treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier!”

The Black Turtle’s Barrier was the only reason Duan Ling Tian was staying in the Black Turtle Sanctum! The only thing he was lacking now was a high-grade defensive Divine Ability.

As the Fire Worship Sect’s number one defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier was undoubtedly the most suitable defensive Divine Ability for him.

“Right! I almost forgot that Duan Ling Tian is also very talented in mastering Divine Abilities! You’ve already mastered three high-grade Divine Abilities,” Guo Xiong immediately said before Wu Yi could speak. He looked at Wu Yi and continued to say with a smile, “Elder Wu Yi, if I’m not mistaken, the treasured Divine Ability of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum doesn’t seem to be stronger than the high-grade movement Divine Ability that Duan Ling Tian has mastered! You should just forget about getting Duan Ling Tian to join the Vermilion Bird Sanctum. He’s not going to join your Sanctum.”

Wu Yi’s expression turned stiff when he looked at Duan Ling Tian’s determined gaze. He sighed. “Fine, fine…” Eventually, Wu Yi waved his hands helplessly, looking like a deflated balloon. It seemed as though he had aged a few decades.

“Elder Wu Yi, the most important matter now is to resolve the crisis Duan Ling Tian is currently facing!” Guo Xiong said as his expression turned solemn.

Wu Yi regained his senses when he heard Guo Xiong’s words, and his expression turned solemn as well. “Since Duan Ling Tian possesses a blue Innate Spiritual Root… According to the unspoken rules of the Fire Worship Sect, the crime he has committed is not that big a deal! However, we still need to put on a show and punish him. Otherwise, it would be hard to deal with the others!”

Wu Yi and Guo Xiong looked at each other before they reached a mutual agreement.

“Unspoken rule?” The corner of Duan Ling Tian’s lips twitched when he heard Wu Yi’s words.

Duan Ling Tian knew the Fire Worship Sect truly appreciated talented geniuses and would not sentence him to death for killing the Yuan Brothers since he possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root. However, he did not know there really was an unspoken rule.

Outside the Flame Territory.

As time continued to pass, Li An began to feel more and more uneasy. Even his face was pale.

“It hasn’t ended?”

“Why do I feel like something’s wrong… It shouldn’t take that long if the two Enforcement Elders want to kill Duan Ling Tian!”

“Are there any changes?”

“Changes? What could change?”

Many Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples also felt that something was wrong, but they did not know what was wrong.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian…” A glimmer of hope could be seen in the depths of Gu Li’s eyes.

Wa!

Finally, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Flame Territory that blocked everyone’s sight disappeared, revealing three figures.

“This…”

When they saw Duan Ling Tian whom they thought had been killed standing there unharmed, the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples were baffled.

After such a long time, the two Enforcement Elders did not kill Duan Ling Tian? Since they did not kill him, what were they doing for such a long time?

Li An’s eyes flashed as he looked at the two Enforcement Elders and asked in a deep voice, “Elder Wu Yi, Elder Guo Xiong… What were you doing earlier?”

Although he had spoken clearly, both Wu Yi and Guo Xiong ignored him. This caused Li An’s expression to turn extremely dark.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, you…” At the same time, Gu Li could not help but transmit his voice to Duan Ling Tian. He did not understand what had happened.

“Senior Brother Gu Li, just watch what happens next.” Duan Ling Tian interrupted Gu Li’s Voice Transmission. When he spoke, he sounded calm.

Gu Li nodded when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He quickly shifted his attention back to the Black Turtle Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong.

The judgment regarding Duan Ling Tian depended entirely on Elder Guo Xiong.

Ahem!

Most people’s attention was on Guo Xiong when the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder Wu Yi suddenly cleared his throat.

After he successfully captured everyone’s attention, Wu Yi said loudly, “After further investigation, I’ve confirmed that Duan Ling Tian did indeed kill the Yuan Brothers out of self-defense!”

Duan Ling Tian killed the Yuan Brothers out of self-defense?

Gu Li and the other Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples were dumbfounded.

“However, he killed Yuan Kuang without mercy even though he could’ve avoided it. Such behavior should be discouraged. Elder Guo Xiong will announce the final verdict regarding Duan Ling Tian’s crimes!” Wu Yi said.

Upon hearing Wu Yi’s earlier statement, Li An’s expression changed dramatically.

The ominous feeling he had felt earlier was not wrong.
