Chapter 2373 Where Did His Confidence Come From?

While Li Bing was laughing loudly, Duan Ling Tian spat out a word indifferently, “Idiot!” Although his voice was not loud, it was not drowned out by the sound of Li Bing’s laughter. Everyone clearly heard his word.

Idiot!

Li Bing stopped laughing immediately as though someone had strangled him in an attempt to stop him from laughing.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were trained on Duan Ling Tian.

“Did Duan Ling Tian just call the old ancestor an idiot? D-did I hear wrongly?” A disciple of Fire Worship Sect asked in surprise.

“You didn’t hear wrongly. He really did call the old ancestor an idiot!” Another disciple gulped as he stared at Duan Ling Tian. He wondered why Duan Ling Tian was so bold as to call the old ancestor of Fire Worship Sect an idiot. The old ancestor was evenly matched with his follower and was a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial after all. Moreover, the old ancestor even said the Fire Worship Sect had another Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial that could come at any time. If the two old ancestors from Fire Worship Sect joined forces, Duan Ling Tian’s follower definitely would not stand a chance against them.

At this moment, almost all the elders and disciples of Fire Worship Sect shared the same thought. They shook their heads as they looked at Duan Ling Tian. They thought he had gone insane.

“Crazy! Duan Ling Tian must be crazy!”

“We shouldn’t offend the Eminent Celestials in the Dao Martial Saint Land, but we definitely can’t offend the Bodiless Celestials who are even stronger than Eminent Celestials. Duan Ling Tian is seeking death by acting in this manner!”

“To call the old ancestor an idiot, I wonder where his confidence came from. If the old ancestor calls his companion over, even his follower who’s also a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial won’t be a match for them at all!”

Meanwhile, Li Bing stared at Duan Ling Tian coldly. “How… how dare you call me an idiot!” An energy surged out of his body immediately and turned into a streak of flame that shot up into the skies, causing the void to ripple and distort. Many small void cracks appeared around him like tiny snakes, shocking everyone who saw it.

Duan Ling Tian did not respond to Li Bing’s words, he only said nonchalantly, “I’ll give you a chance. Swear on the lightning penalty oath that you won’t return to the Fire Worship Sect and that you’d no longer interfere in the sect’s matters. After that, get out of my sight and leave the sect at your fastest speed.”

Duan Ling Tian’s words caused everyone to fall silent. Everyone thought they were having auditory hallucinations.

When Li Bing heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he was so shocked that he thought he had misheard Duan Ling Tian. The Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect, who was merely an Eminent Celestial, actually demanded that he swear on the lightning penalty oath?

When the elders and disciples of the Fire Worship Sect recovered from their shock, they began to discuss among themselves.

“Did I hear wrongly again? Did Duan Ling Tian really ask the old ancestor to swear on the lightning penalty oath and leave the sect?”

“I thought I heard wrongly as well, but both of us didn’t hear wrongly. He really said that!”

“Heavens! Can someone please tell me where Duan Ling Tian got his confidence from to actually say something like this?”

The Guardians of the Fire Worship Sect were, naturally, curious. Similar to the elders and disciples of the sect, they also wondered where Duan Ling Tian’s confidence came from.

“Didn’t Guardian Ling Tian hear that the old ancestor’s companion is also a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial and might come to the sect?”

“He’s only an Eminent Celestial. Although his follower is also a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, I don’t think he’ll be able to deal with two Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestials if they join forces…”

“Where did his confidence come from?”

The Guardians of Fire Worship Sect knew Duan Ling Tian for a long time now and they remembered all his feats. Whenever he acted, he would not suffer any losses. No one would think he had a chance, but he would end up shocking everyone at the end. Therefore, they did not think Duan Ling Tian was acting impudently just because of his ego and pride. They were certain he had something up his sleeve although they did not know what it was. All of them were extremely curious and could not help speculating among themselves.

“Is it possible that Guardian Ling Tian has another follower who’s also a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial servant?”

“Or maybe he has some tricks up his sleeve due to his position as the Sect Leader of Seven Absolutes Sect?”

Zi Feng who had turned to look at Duan Ling Tian suddenly discovered something odd. “Huh?” He quickly transmitted his voice to Qing Huo. “Guardian Qing Huo, Ru Yan doesn’t seem surprised by Duan Ling Tian’s words to the old ancestor! Based on how relaxed she looks, it seems like she’s fully confident Guardian Ling Tian is able to deal with the old ancestor. You should ask her why Duan Ling Tian is so confident!”

Qing Huo instinctively turned to look at Gan Ru Yan, his direct disciple and the new Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect. Indeed, she looked very calm as though she was not worried at all. He instantly transmitted his voice to her. “Ru Yan… Why is Guardian Ling Tian so confident? He even dares to speak to the old ancestor in such a careless manner!”

Gan Ru Yan was slightly startled when she heard her master’s words. When she regained her senses, she quickly replied to him through Voice Transmission, “Master, let alone this old ancestor, even if there are two Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestials, they still won’t be a match for him! He’s confident because of his strength. Why do you think Chen Yi Ru, a Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, would willingly acknowledge him as his master? Chen Yi Ru’s far weaker compared to him.” She did not hide anything from her master and told him the truth.

Qing Huo gasped in astonishment when he heard Gan Ru Yan’s words. “What?”

Even if the two old ancestors from Fire Worship Sect joined forces, they still would not be a match for Duan Ling Tian? Also, Chen Yi Ru acknowledged Duan Ling Tian as his master because he was much weaker than Duan Ling Tian?

“I-isn’t he just an Eminent Celestial?” Qing Huo quickly transmitted his voice to Gan Ru Yan again. “He’s just an Eminent Celestial. I’m very certain he’s not a Bodiless Celestial. Let alone one Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestial, how could he be even stronger than two Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestials?”

“Master, it’s true that he’s an Eminent Celestial, but he’s different from ordinary Eminent Celestials in the Dao Martial Saint Land,” Gan Ru Yan replied through Voice Transmission, “In short, there’s no need for us to worry. He can easily deal with two Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestials.”

Qing Huo would not believe these absurd words if it was spoken by other people even if he was beaten to death. However, he believed his direct disciple would not lie to him. After a while, he relayed Gan Ru Yan’s words to Zi Feng through Voice Transmission.

“What? Ru Yan said that even if two Four Tribulation Bodiless Celestials join forces, they still wouldn’t be a match for Guardian Ling Tian? H-how’s that possible?” Zi Feng was, naturally, in shock when he heard this. Soon after, he relayed this information to Hong Yun and Leng Yin as well, causing both of them to be equally as shocked.

Meanwhile, Li Bing who had regained his senses was trembling in anger. He said incredulously, “You’re giving me a chance to swear on the lightning penalty oath that I won’t return to the Fire Worship Sect and won’t interfere with the sect’s matter from now on? Moreover, you want me to get out of your sight?” He seemed as though he was about to attack as he bellowed, “Duan Ling Tian! You’re seeking death!”

Just as Li Bing was about to attack, Zi Feng suddenly cried out with a grave expression on his face, “Old ancestor!”
