War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Upon hearing Li An’s question, if it was not for the fact that he knew about the huge enmity between Li An and Duan Ling Tian, Wu Yi would have shouted, “Are all disciples from the Black Turtle Sanctum so arrogant?!”

To think that he actually dared to ignore the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder. How audacious of him!

“He’s inside the Secundus house that used to belong to Yuan Hong. He told me to inform him when the Black Turtle Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong has arrived.” Wu Yi’s eyes shone with killing intent when he reached the end of his sentence. His fat face had a dark expression, it was obvious he was extremely furious!

“WHAT?!” Upon hearing Wu Yi’s words, Li An’s expression turned grave immediately. Li An shouted immediately, “Who does he think he is? How could someone who has violated the sect’s rules dare to act so wantonly?!”

The moment his words left his mouth, before Wu Yi and the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples present realized what was going on, Li An had made his move as fast as a bolt of lightning.

Bang!

He pushed his hand out and a vast energy in the shape of a palm appeared and soared through the air before it crashed on the Secundus house with a thunderous noise.

Rumble!

As the thunderous noise sounded, the Secundus house collapsed into a pile of rubble, causing dust to fly up into the air.

It sent shivers running up the spines of people watching from afar.

“How ruthless!” Upon seeing this, the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples shuddered in their hearts. They did not expect the Black Turtle Sanctum’s First Silver Flame Elder Li An would be so ruthless, destroying one of the Secundus houses in their Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples’ residence as soon as he made his move.

“Elder Li An!” Wu Yi’s expression turned ugly as he looked at Li An angrily.

Whether it was the fact that Li An had destroyed the Secundus house in their Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples’ residence or the fact that he had taken matters into his own hands, it had made Wu Yi extremely displeased.

He was already dissatisfied with the way Duan Ling Tian acted, but it did not cross his mind that Li An would take matters into his own hands as well.

Even as the Enforcement Elder of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum, Wu Yi was just like other people. He would also be infuriated by various things. However, he would always try to maintain his composure.

In the Fire Worship Sect, everything had to be done according to the rules!

This was Wu Yi’s principle!

“Don’t worry. I didn’t kill him!” Li An said nonchalantly.

Although he could not wait to tear Duan Ling Tian into a thousand pieces, he had held back his impulse and did not take matters into his own hands and kill Duan Ling Tian in front of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder.

He had only made a move because he did not want Duan Ling Tian to feel comfortable. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian had only dared to act so arrogantly because he knew he would die. He probably wanted to enjoy his last moments doing as he pleased.

The more Duan Ling Tian wanted to enjoy something, the more he would refuse to let him do so!

Duan Ling Tian wanted to rest in the house? He would just destroy the house and see how he was going to rest.

The people saw some movements in the place where the Secundus house had collapsed into a pile of rubble before a furious voice rang in the air.

“Li An!”

Boom!

Then, another loud explosion sounded again as the pile of rubble exploded. A figure soared up into the air. It was none other than Duan Ling Tian. His expression was extremely grave.

Since Duan Ling Tian had come out from the ruins of the house, he was completely covered in dust.

“Duan Ling Tian, how dare you address me by my name as soon as you see me? Do you know you’ve violated the rule of disrespecting your elders?” Li An asked coldly with a hint of pleasure in his eyes when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s wretched appearance.

“Hurmph!” Duan Ling Tian snorted when he heard his words. He retorted, “If I’m not mistaken, there’s also a rule in the Fire Worship Sect that states that elders in the sect are not allowed to bully the young ones using their power! You’ve stooped so low as to bully the young ones, but you still expect me to respect you? Are you insane or an idiot?”

He was comfortably resting in the house when it was destroyed by Li An. It was only natural he was furious.

When he heard Li An accusing him of disrespecting his elders, he could no longer hold back. He had abused his authority and power by bullying juniors, but he still had the audacity to say Duan Ling Tian had disrespected him?

How funny!

Now that Duan Ling Tian had spat out all these words, he felt much more at ease.

It was Li An’s turn to feel furious.

Idiot?!

The moment Duan Ling Tian’s words left his mouth, the entire scene fell silent. Then, the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum shifted their attention to him. Their gazes were a mix of shock, disbelief, and admiration.

When Duan Ling Tian had called Li An an idiot in a cool manner, the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples present on the scene had different feelings. Some felt he was just seeking death. Some felt Duan Ling Tian was acting recklessly. Since he knew he was going to die anyway, he might as well enjoy himself. There were also some people who admired Duan Ling Tian regardless of the reason why he dared to act so boldly.

“Duan Ling Tian… Y-you’re seeking death!” When Li An looked at Duan Ling Tian, a terrifying killing intent rose from his body as his eyes shone coldly. Currently, he felt as though his heart was going to explode out of anger!

Ever since he became an elder in the Fire Worship Sect, was there anyone who dared to call him an idiot to his face?

Duan Ling Tian was just an ordinary Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple and a commoner who only had a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. How dare he called him an idiot. His expression seemed as though he had eaten a fly.

“What? Are you throwing a tantrum out of humiliation, Elder Li An?” Duan Ling Tian was pleased when he saw how furious Li An was. He said indifferently, “I don’t think I’ve said anything wrong. Why don’t we ask Elder Wu Yi for his opinion? As the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder, I’m sure he knows the Fire Worship Sect’s rules better than us. Should we let him decide who provoked who first, and who is in the wrong?”

When Duan Ling Tian finished talking, Li An was so furious he was rendered speechless. After all, he was the one who made the first move.

“I’m the type of person who returns a favor by tenfold!” Duan Ling Tian said when he saw Li An keeping quiet, “I, Duan Ling Tian, have a clear conscience and wouldn’t do anything shameless. Since I’m in the Fire Worship Sect, it’s only natural for me to obediently follow the rules of the sect.”

The first half of Duan Ling Tian’s sentence garnered him many secret thumbs-up from the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples. However, when they heard the latter part of his sentence, their expressions changed into a weird one instead.

Did Duan Ling Tian just say he obediently followed the rules of the Fire Worship Sect?

What a joke!

When he killed Yuan Hong and Yuan Kuang was he following the rules of the Fire Worship Sect?

For this reason, many of them snorted when they heard the latter part of his sentence.

“Duan Ling Tian is really too shameless! To think he’s able to say such words out loud!”

“Indeed! If he obeys the Fire Worship Sect’s rule, he wouldn’t have killed Yuan Hong and Yuan Kuang in the first place. If it’s just Yuan Hong, we could say he did it out of self-defense. However, what about Yuan Kuang? From the beginning until the end, Yuan Kuang did not make a move at all, but he still killed him!”

“It’s okay for other people to say these words, but for Duan Ling Tian to say this, it sounds like the biggest joke in the world!”

“Look at him. It seems like he’s venting everything now. He must know he doesn’t have much time left now!”

“Since the Black Turtle Sanctum’s Elder Li An has arrived, I’m sure the Black Turtle Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong is not far behind!”

Most of the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples glanced at Duan Ling Tian before shaking their heads. They all thought Duan Ling Tian knew he would not be able to live long, and that was why he was acting like that.

“Hurmph! I can’t be bothered to talk to you. No matter what, you’re going to die anyway!” Li An kept quiet after he said this. It was as though he knew he would not be able to win against Duan Ling Tian verbally so he only snorted. He stood quietly at the side with his eyes closed to attain mental composure as he waited for the arrival of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong.

Duan Ling Tian no longer continued talking and looked away from Li An when he saw that Li An had finally kept quiet.

The scene soon fell silent as well as everyone waited for the arrival of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong.

After a span of a few breaths…

Whoosh!

A faint sound reverberated in the air, causing everyone to look at the source of the noise.

An old figure was flying toward them at an extremely fast speed. Soon after, the figure descended beside the Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder Wu Yi and showed himself. The person wore the uniform of a Black Turtle Sanctum’s Silver Flame Elder.

“Is he the Black Turtle Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong?” The Vermilion Bird Sanctum’s disciples shifted their gaze to the newcomer.

“Elder Guo Xiong.” Duan Ling Tian looked at him with narrowed eyes. It seemed as though he was not afraid even though Guo Xiong had shown up.

In the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbols Sanctums, as a Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple, Guo Xiong the Black Turtle Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder had his life in his hands.

“Elder Guo Xiong.” When Wu Yi saw Guo Xiong had arrived, his eyes brightened immediately as though he had just seen his savior.

“Elder Guo Xiong, you came just in time. You can come to a decision and sentence Duan Ling Tian to death for killing the Yuan Brothers!” Li An said to Guo Xiong quickly in a commanding tone.

Li An was too eager to see Duan Ling Tian die, he was not aware that he had intervened with someone else’s duty.

Upon hearing Li An’s words, everyone, even Li An who finally realized his mistake, could not help but frown.

Guo Xiong’s expression turned grave immediately. Then, he said to Li An without being polite, “Elder Li An, it’s not up to you to tell me how to do my work!”
