Chapter 2175 Arrogant? Conceited?

When the elder on patrol discovered that the true disciple was Duan Ling Tian, he no longer approached him and continued patrolling in other areas. He knew the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect had released a statement asking for Duan Ling Tian’s return, but he did not expect Duan Ling Tian would return so quickly.

I wonder how strong Duan Ling Tian has become after these few years?’ The elder on patrol thought to himself as he made a move to leave, ‘However, I’m sure I’m no match for him. After all, he was capable of killing Xie Zong, the son of Black Kshetra Sect’s Golden Lion King, three years ago. I’m only slightly stronger than Xie Zong now.’

The elder on patrol was well aware of his own strength. Although he was a Silver Flame Elder in the Fire Worship Sect, he was only a Silver Flame Elder with average strength. His cultivation base was only at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Perhaps, he might be able to stand on even ground with Duan Ling Tian three years ago, but now, he was certain there was a huge gap between their strength.

Duan Ling Tian’s voice spread out and was clearly transmitted to the floating island and mansion before him. This was the cultivation place of Tang Xuan, the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect.

Currently, Tang Xuan was not the only one who lived in the mansion on the floating island.

“Duan Ling Tian? H-He’s back?” Gan Ru Yan who was in the courtyard of the mansion was stunned. A confused expression could be seen on her face when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s voice.

She had heard about the statement that the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect released, but she did not expect Duan Ling Tian to return so soon. Only three days had passed since the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect released a statement. Naturally, she was unaware that long before the statement was released, Duan Ling Tian had been hiding in the vicinity of the Fire Worship Sect. He had been paying attention to everything that had been happening in the Fire Worship Sect.

In fact, Duan Ling Tian had waited for three excruciating days that felt like years before he returned to the Fire Worship Sect. He had waited before he returned because he was afraid if he returned too quickly, the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect would figure out that he had the Devilseal Tablet in his possession.

“Young Master?” A small cry resonated in the air. A girl who looked identical to Gan Ru Yan ran out from a room in the courtyard. The moment she appeared, everything her surroundings seemed to pale in comparison. The girl was none other than Ke’er who had just put her daughter to sleep.

As soon as Ke’er’s daughter fell asleep, she suddenly heard the voice that she had been dreaming about day and night.

Her young master had returned to the Fire Worship Sect!

When Gan Ru Yan saw her younger sister charging out from the room in a hurry, her expression turned tense. It seemed as though she had turned into a gust of wind as she moved to stop Ke’er. She said solemnly, “Yu Yan, you can’t act recklessly! If you accidentally reveal the fact that he’s your man, Lord Sect Leader would never let him go!”

“Sister, I know… I know…” Ke’er nodded with a sad expression on her face.

Duan Ling Tian was her man. He was even more important to her than her own life. How could she possibly do something that might put his life in danger? Although she longed to be reunited with her man, she held herself back when she thought of the consequences. Tears streamed down her face as her emotions overwhelmed her.

“Young master, Ke’er is here. Please don’t blame me. It’s not that I don’t want to see you but I can’t,” Ke’er muttered to herself. She felt as though her heart had been stabbed by a knife.

“Huh?”

As the saying went, ‘A married couple shares a heart’.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian felt a pang in his heart, causing him to fall into a daze. He quickly regained his senses as he waited for the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect to come out.

However, before the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect made an appearance, three uninvited guests had already appeared.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of wind whistling sounded as three figures appeared near Duan Ling Tian.

The three figures consisted of a green-clad old man, a purple-clad young man, and a beautiful red-clad lady.

The old man had white hair, and he looked like a sage.

The young man was handsome and had a graceful bearing, making it seemed as though spring had arrived.

The lady was stunning. She had a seductive figure and a delicate face that could cause men’s imagination to run wild.

When these three people appeared, Duan Ling Tian’s gaze instantly landed on the green-clad old man. He took the initiative to greet the old man. “Guardian Qing Huo.”

Duan Ling Tian had met this old man once. At that time, the old man had wanted to take Duan Ling Tian in as his direct disciple, but Duan Ling Tian had rejected his offer. He knew the old man was Guardian Qing Huo, one of the Three Great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect.

The Three Great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect, also known as the Three Guardians of Wind, Fire, and Cloud are Zi Feng, Qing Huo, and Hong Yun. It seems like the purple-clad young man and the beautiful red-clad lady standing next to Guardian Qing Huo are Guardian Zi Feng and Guardian Hong Yun,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself when he greeted Qing Huo, ‘Among the Three Great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect, the strongest one is Guardian Zi Feng. Rumor has it that he has long broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He’s one of the pillars of the Fire Worship Sect. The second strongest is Guardian Qing Huo, who’s also Gan Ru Yan’s master. His cultivation base is at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He’s ranked in the top 20 on the Supreme Saint Ranking. Last but not least is Guardian Hong Yun. Although she’s a woman, her cultivation base is at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. She’s one of the very few female powerhouses at the Seventh Fom of the Saint Celestial Stage in th^ Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!’

Feng, Qing Huo, and Hong Yun. It seems like the purple-clad young man and the beautiful red-clad lady standing next to Guardian Qing Huo are Guardian Zi Feng and Guardian Hong Yun,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself when he greeted Qing Huo, ‘Among the Three Great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect, the strongest one is Guardian Zi Feng. Rumor has it that he has long broken through to the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He’s one of the pillars of the Fire Worship Sect. The second strongest is Guardian Qing Huo, who’s also Gan Ru Yan’s master. His cultivation base is at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

She’s one of the very few female powerhouses at the Seventh Fom of the Saint Celestial Stage in th^ Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!’

If it was before, perhaps, he would feel a little wary when faced with the Three Great Guardians of Fire Worship Sect. However, currently, he did not feel wary at all. If he fought with them at this moment, he had no need to be afraid of them if he unleashed all his strength.

“Duan Ling Tian, you finally came back,” Guardian Qing Huo said as he studied Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian smiled awkwardly before he looked at the two people standing next to Guardian Qing Huo. “If I’m not mistaken, you must be Guardian Zi Feng and Guardian Hong Yun, right?” He had spoken very casually as though he was speaking to his equal. Naturally, with his strength, he stood on even ground with the Guardians of Fire Worship Sect.

Guardian Qing Huo’s expression changed immediately when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s off-handed remark. He might be able to disregard Duan Ling Tian’s impoliteness, but it did not mean the other two Guardians were like him.

Just as expected, the expressions on Guardian Zi Feng and Guardian Hong Yun’s faces darkened immediately. Guardian Hong Yun, in particular, looked extremely offended.

As Guardians of Fire Worship Sect, they held a high position in the sect. Their positions were only inferior to the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect. Even the two Vice Sect Leaders of Fire Worship Sect had to be respectful to them, let alone the Golden Flame Elders, Silver Flame Elders, and Bronze Flame Elders.

However, today, a true disciple from the Fire Worship Sect had spoken to them in such an off-handed manner that lacked respect. It was as though he was speaking to another true disciple, not the Guardians of Fire Worship Sect. How could the two people who were usually treated with much respect not be angered by this?

“How dare you?!” Hong Yun spat out these words in a low voice. Her expression was solemn as she glared at Duan Ling Tian. “You’re Duan Ling Tian? You… Do you know who you’re talking to? Just because you have that bit of innate talent, how dare you be so arrogant, conceited, and rude in front of your elders? Didn’t your sectless master teach you any manners?” Her voice was extremely cold.

Zi Feng looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly and remained silent since Hong Yun had already said the words he wanted to

At the same time, Guardian Qing Huo who was standing next to them remembered that Gan Ru Yan, his direct disciple, had asked him to look after Duan Ling Tian. He quickly sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian, apologize to the two Guardians now!”

However, Duan Ling Tian ignored Qing Huo’s Voice Transmission. He looked at Hong Yun fearlessly as he said in a calm voice, “Don’t tell me I was wrong? Are you not Guardian Hong Yun?” It seemed as though he did not notice the furious expression on Hong Yun’s face.

“You…” Qing Huo’s expression changed immediately. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would act this way even after listening to his Voice Transmission. He instantly gave up on helping Duan Ling Tian and thought to himself, ‘Ru Yan, it’s not that master didn’t comply with your wish. However, Duan Ling Tian is too arrogant and conceited! It’s not a bad idea to teach him a lesson.”

In Qing Huo’s opinion, Duan Ling Tian was different from before. Although Duan Ling Tian had behaved in an unrestrained manner previously, he was never arrogant. Currently, it seemed as though he viewed everyone as insignificant.

Qing Huo knew Hong Yun would not kill Duan Ling Tian because she would not disrupt the plan of the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect. For this reason, he decided to stand aside and watch as Hong Yun taught Duan Ling Tian a lesson so he would not act so arrogantly in the future!
