Chapter 2017: History Repeating Itself

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian wanted to leave.

However, would Wen Yan let him leave? Of course not.

“Trying to escape?” Wen Yan hissed coldly. Her body seemed to move as fast as a typhoon. In just a blink of an eye, she had arrived before Duan Ling Tian, blocking his path.

To the Saint Land disciples walking out of the Fire Remuneration Palace, this scene was extremely familiar…

However, this time, the person who blocked the other person was switched instead. In the Fire Remuneration Palace, Duan Ling Tian was the one who blocked Wen Yan’s path, but now, she was the one blocking Duan Ling Tian’s path.

“Escape?” Duan Ling Tian smiled disdainfully when he heard Wen Yan’s words and saw her blocking his path. “Wen Yan, you’ve really overestimated yourself. A mere true disciple ranked ninth on the True Ranking thinks she’s qualified to make me escape?!”

When Wen Yan heard his words, she was even more furious. Her Saint Origin was about to surge out as Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “I’m prepared to go to the Palace Of Death now. If you have the guts, come with me to the Palace Of Death to sign the Death Pact! I think you must be itching to kill me, right? I’ll give you a chance to kill me. How about that?” Duan Ling Tian’s words that escalated the matter abruptly shocked everyone.

Duan Ling Tian actually issued a Death Duel to Wen Yan!

“Palace Of Death? Death Duel?” Duan Ling Tian’s voice was loud. Apart from the Saint Land disciples who were walking out from the Fire Remuneration Palace, even the Saint Land disciples in the Central Square instantly gathered by the Fire Remuneration Palace after hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words.

“Duan Ling Tian wants to go to the Palace Of Death again?”

“Duan Ling Tian wants to sign the Death Pact with who this time?”

The group of Saint Land disciples who were moving toward the Fire Remuneration Palace only heard the second half of his words. They did not know who he had issued a Death Duel to.

“Huh? Isn’t the person standing opposite him Senior Sister Wen Yan?”

“It really is Senior Sister Wen Yan. Don’t tell me that Duan Ling Tian wants to sign the Death Pact with Senior Sister Wen Yan?”

Many Saint Land disciples who just came over saw Wen Yan.

As one of the two most outstanding female disciples among the younger generation in the Fire Worship Sect and someone who was ranked ninth on the True Ranking, Wen Yan was, naturally, well-known in the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land.

The group of Saint Land disciples who had just come was baffled when they saw Duan Ling Tian caught in a conflict with Wen Yan.

Why would these two people be in a conflict?

Soon after, many of the Saint Land disciples who were in the Fire Remuneration Palace explained what had transpired to the disciples who had just arrived.

“Duan Ling Tian and Senior Sister Wen Yan must have enmity with each other. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have treated her in such a manner!”

“I was wondering why there’s a faint palm print on one side of Senior Sister Wen Yan’s face. As it turns out, Duan Ling Tian had slapped her!”

“Duan Ling Tian is really too courageous! Not only did he take the initiative to provoke her, but he even said he wants to sign a Death Pact with her. Is he really that confident?”

“Perhaps, he’s just calling her bluff?”

“Calling her bluff? Previously, Yang Wen also thought Duan Ling Tian was calling his bluff when he issued a Death Duel challenge. In the end, he was killed by Duan Ling Tian!”

“What you’re trying to say is Duan Ling Tian’s confident he can kill Senior Sister Wen Yan that’s why he’s issuing a Death Duel challenge to her?”

After learning about what had transpired, the Saint Land disciples began to discuss among themselves. A minority of them felt that Duan Ling Tian might be strong enough to kill Wen Yan, but most of them thought Duan Ling Tian was no match for Wen Yan.

In their opinion, Wen Yan was clearly stronger than Duan Ling Tian!

“I wonder if Senior Sister Wen Yan will agree to Duan Ling Tian’s Death Duel challenge?!”

“She most likely would agree to it! After all, Duan Ling Tian has publicly humiliated her. Based on her temper, she must be eager to kill him!”

“Hurmph! If Duan Ling Tian really dares to sign the Death Pact with Senior Sister Wen Yan, he will definitely die today!”

Most of the Saint Land disciples did not have a high opinion of Duan Ling Tian.

Suddenly, a Saint Land disciple who was paying attention to Wen Yan from the beginning until now suddenly whispered, “Don’t tell me none of you has realized that Senior Sister Wen Yan’s expression has turned solemn? It seems like she’s wary of Duan Ling Tian. She might not accept his Death Duel challenge!”

The instant he finished speaking, the Saint Land disciples present on the scene instantly shifted their gaze to Wen Yan.

As expected, Wen Yan’s expression had turned solemn after she had heard Duan Ling Tian’s Death Duel challenge. She did not reply for a long time.

“It can’t be right. Senior Sister Wen Yan is afraid?”

“H-How is this possible? No matter what, Senior Sister Wen Yan is still someone who’s ranked ninth on the True Ranking. Don’t tell me she doesn’t even have the courage to engage in a Death Duel with this new true disciple, Duan Ling Tian?”

“I wonder what’s going through Senior Sister Wen Yan’s mind. Perhaps, she thinks it’s risky accepting Duan Ling Tian’s Death Duel challenge!”

Many Saint Land disciples shook their heads. Their eyes were filled with disappointment as they spoke.

It was just as the Saint Land disciples had said. Currently, Wen Yan was indeed afraid!

When Duan Ling Tian mentioned going to the Palace of Death to sign the Death Pact, she instantly recalled Yang Wen who was killed by Duan Ling Tian a month ago.

Wen Yan knew the details of what had happened. She knew Duan Ling Tian was the one who took the initiative to issue a Death Duel challenge to Yang Wen.

At that time, not only Yang Wen, but everyone felt that Duan Ling Tian was just calling Yang Wen’s bluff, and he was no match for Yang Wen. After Duan Ling Tian and Yang Wen signed the Death Pact in the Palace Of Death, not many people bet on Duan Ling Tian. Almost everybody placed their bets on Yang Wen. They felt the person who would win in the end was Yang Wen. However, the result had shocked everyone. Duan Ling Tian had killed Yang Wen.

This new disciple whom almost everyone looked down on managed to kill Yang Wen who had become a true disciple since a long time ago.

Today, at this moment, history was repeating itself again!

Duan Ling Tian had issued the Death Duel challenge again! This time, his target was Wen Yan!

Naturally, Wen Yan was confident in her own strength. However, Duan Ling Tian was a mystery to her. Ever since he entered the Fire Worship Sect, it only took him less than a year to rise from a Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciple to a true disciple in the Saint Land.

She was uncertain if Duan Ling Tian still had any hidden trump cards up his sleeve after he killed Yang Wen. For this reason, she did not dare to accept Duan Ling Tian’s Death Duel challenge!

Everyone was afraid of death, and she was no exception to this!

Once a person died, everything would be gone!

“What? You don’t dare?” Duan Ling Tian said disdainfully when he saw Wen Yan’s grave expression and how she did not reply for a long time, “Since you’re afraid, then get out of my way! A good dog should never block someone’s path!”

Many Saint Land disciples could not help but shake their heads when they saw this.

“I really have no idea what’s going through Senior Sister Wen Yan’s mind. She’s wasting such a good opportunity!”

“Perhaps, Yang Wen’s death caused her to feel cautious…”

“She’s ranked ninth on the True Ranking? How ridiculous! If it was Senior Sister Ru Yan who’s ranked seventh on the True Ranking, she wouldn’t act so cowardly like Wen Yan!”

“Of course! Senior Sister Ru Yan has always been stronger than Wen Yan!”

When some of these Saint Land disciples whispered among themselves, they mentioned Gan Ru Yan, Ke’er’s twin sister, who was ranked seventh on the True Ranking.

“Senior Sister Wen Yan is inferior to Senior Sister Ru Yan!”

“Rumor has it that Senior Sister Ru Yan is imprisoned in the Enforcement Hall because Senior Sister Wen Yan reported her. It’s obvious that she did it for her own good. She was using the Enforcement Hall to get rid of Senior Sister Ru Yan.”

“Is this true?”

“I find it very plausible!”

“If that’s the case, Wen Yan is really too treacherous. It’s fine if she can’t fight openly with Senior Sister Ru Yan and is always overpowered by Senior Sister Ru Yan, but to think she used such an underhanded method to get rid of Senior Sister Ru Yan!”

“It doesn’t matter if Senior Sister Ru Yan is punished by the Enforcement Hall, she’ll always be a goddess in my heart. As for Wen Yan, she’ll never be as good as Senior Sister Ru Yan in my heart!”

“I feel the same way!”

After one Saint Land disciple mentioned Gan Ru Yan who was ranked seventh on the True Ranking, the group of Saint Land disciples present on the scene burst into a commotion once again. Some people even revealed some interesting rumors.

Previously, many Saint Land disciples still addressed her as Senior Sister Wen Yan. However, currently, they only referred to her by her name. They had lost all respect for her.

Wen Yan was instantly criticized by everyone present on the scene!

Wen Yan who was originally furious became even more furious when she heard the discussion in her surroundings.

“Shut the hell up!” Wen Yan said loudly as she looked at the Saint Land disciples coldly, causing them to fall silent.

Although they had stopped speaking, their eyes contained a hint of disdain when they looked at Wen Yan. Currently, it seemed that the silence spoke louder than their words.

“Hurmph!” Wen Yan who flew into a rage when she heard the Saint Land disciples’ discussion turned her attention back to Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian, I don’t want your life! I want to torture you slowly. Only that way will erase the hatred in my heart!”

The instant she finished speaking, she began to mobilize the Saint Origin in her body. A terrifying energy surged out of her body and began to spread out.

“Why don’t you just admit that you’re afraid? Why is there a need to come up with an excuse?!” Duan Ling Tian smirked when he heard her words.
