    “Hong Xu...” Duan Ling Tian paid no attention to the appearance of the elders of the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctums’ First Mine. His attention was solely on Hong Xu. To be more precise, Hong Xu’s dead body. As Duan Ling Tian looked at Hong Xu, his voice kept resonating in his mind as well.


    He could feel the rage and dissatisfaction Hong Xu had felt when he spoke about ck Turtle Sanctum’s First Silver me Elder Li An. He could feel his grievance and helplessness when he mentioned how Li An had threatened him. Hong Xu’s emotions had affected Duan Ling Tian as well.


    Hong Xu was originally the Great Senior Brother of the ck Turtle Sanctum. His potential was limitless, and he was going to the Saint Land soon to be a disciple there. However, just because Li An wanted to use him to deal with Duan Ling Tian, he had forced Hong Xu to a dead end instead.


    Duan Ling Tian’s emotions were a littleplex when he looked at Hong Xu’s body.


    ‘Don’t worry. I’ll help you inform your n,’ Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and promised Hong Xu inwardly.


    Naturally, he could not leave the Four Symbols Sanctum’s First Mine now, but he had to inform Hong Xu’s n as soon as possible. For this reason, he could only ask somebody for help. He already had someone in mind.


    “Duan Ling Tian transformed into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior?”


    “Faced with Hong Xu whose strength was raised close to the Saint Celestial Stage after he consumed the forbidden pill, Duan Ling Tian had easily blocked his attack?”


    “Hong Xu chose to kill himself faced with the pressure from Duan Ling Tian?”


    While Duan Ling Tian was staring at Hong Xu’s body in a daze, the elders from the Punishment Zone learned about what had transpired from the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples present on the scene. Their hearts were in turmoil after learning about everything that had happened.


    Hong Xu did not hesitate to consume the forbidden pill to kill Duan Ling Tian. However, in the end, he still could not kill Duan Ling Tian! This was because it did not cross his mind that Duan Ling Tian was able to transform into the legendary Nine-wed Dragon Warrior! If that was not the case, he would havepleted his objective ofing here.


    The eyes of the elders from the Punishment Zone changedpletely when they looked at Duan Ling Tian. This person before their eyes could transform into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior.


    Even in the dragon n, someone like that would be ced on the pedestal! Naturally, the dragon n they thought of referred to the one in the Upper Province, not the Lower Province.


    ‘Could this be the reason the Saint Land Enforcement Hall protected him?’ Many thoughts appeared in the elders of the Punishment Zone’s mind.


    Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian finally regained his senses and looked at the elders from the Punishment Zone before he greeted them. “Good day, elders.”


    Usually, they would have been dissatisfied if Duan Ling Tian had greeted them so casually. They would feel as though he did not respect them and treat them dismissively. However, now that they had found out Duan Ling Tian could transform into a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior, their behavior was not the same.


    The Nine-wed Dragon Warrior was a legendary being. Its position was extraordinary in the dragon n as well!


    Duan Ling Tian did not forget the favor Hong Xu had asked of him. After greeting the elders, he quickly said, “Elders, I would like to meet Elder Peng Hua.”


    Peng Hua was an elder in the ck Turtle Sanctum whom he had met when he first arrived in the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctum’s First Mine with the ck Turtle Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong.


    He did not know anyone else in the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctum’s First Mine. He thought of Peng Hua now that he wanted to contact Guo Xiong.


    Among the four elders from the Punishment Zone, the Bronze me Elder from the ck Turtle Sanctum stepped in and said, “You want to look for Elder Peng Hua? I’ll bring you to him!”


    Duan Ling Tian had also long noticed the exclusive uniform of a Bronze me Elder in the ck Turtle Sanctum’ that he was wearing. He nodded when he heard his response.


    “Elders, I’ll leave the matters here to you then,” the ck Turtle Sanctum’s Bronze me Elder said to the other three elders as he flew out and led Duan Ling Tian away.


    Only the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples and the three elders from the Punishment Zone were left on the scene.


    All of them only looked away once Duan Ling Tian’s figure had disappeared from their sight.


    It was easy for the three elders from the Punishment Zone to deal with this matter.


    Hong Xu had intended to kill Duan Ling Tian and spared no efforts in doing so. He even consumed a forbidden pill. Although he was not sessful in doing so, his crime was not small. It was clear Duan Ling Tian was not in the wrong even if he had killed him, let alone the fact that Hong Xu hadmitted suicide.


    After the three elders from the Punishment Zone cleared Hong Xu’s body away, they left immediately.


    The Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples present on the scene who had fallen silent due to elders’ presence finally broke into amotion as soon as the elders left. They discussed and whispered among themselves. From the beginning until the end, their discussion revolved around Duan Ling Tian.


    ...


    At the same time, under the lead of the ck Turtle Sanctum’s Bronze me Elder, Duan Ling Tian finally met the ck Turtle Sanctum’s Bronze me Elder Peng Hua whom he encountered when he arrived at the Four Symbols Sanctums’ First Mine’s Punishment Zone.


    “Duan Ling Tian?” Peng Hua greeted him with a smile when he saw him. He did not act arrogantly at all.


    “Elder Peng Hua, there’s a reason I came here today. Can you please invite ck Turtle Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong here now? There’s a favor I have to ask from him!” Duan Ling Tian said without beating around the bush as he looked at Peng Hua.


    “No problem!” Peng Hua immediately agreed to Duan Ling Tian’s request. He seemed to realize the matter was urgent, and he quickly left for the ck Turtle Sanctum.


    Soon after, he returned with ck Turtle Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong in tow.


    “Duan Ling Tian, is there a reason you’re looking for me?” Guo Xiong asked in confusion as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.


    If it was an ordinary ck Turtle Sanctum’s disciple who sent someone to look for Guo Xiong, he would have dismissed it. No matter what, he was still the ck Turtle Sanctum’s Enforcement Elder, how could he let someone order him around? However, when he heard the person looking for him was Duan Ling Tian, he came immediately without any hesitation.


    This was due to Duan Ling Tian’s Innate Spiritual Root and his boundless potential. As long as he did not die, his achievements would not be inferior to Guo Xiong in the future. Someone like that was worthy of his respect.


    “Elder Guo Xiong!” When Duan Ling Tian saw Guo Xiong, he did not beat around the bush and recounted what happened with Hong Xu through Voice Transmission.


    As Guo Xiong listened to Duan Ling Tian, his expression turned grimmer and grimmer.


    A ck Turtle Sanctum’s disciple had actually been forced by Li An to such an extent in broad daylight. This matter infuriated Guo Xiong as well!


    “Don’t worry. I’ll seek justice for him!” Guo Xiong said in a deep voice.


    “Elder Guo Xiong, seeking justice for him is not the most important matter now. I hope you can inform Hong Xu’s family about this and ask them to leave as soon as possible. If we’re toote, I’m afraid Li An would vent his anger on them!” Duan Ling Tian said to Guo Xiong solemnly, “Elder Guo Xiong, please help me with this matter. I’ll owe you a favor!” Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate to owe Guo Xiong a favor over this matter.


    This shocked Guo Xiong as well. “Based on your earlier words, this is your first encounter with Hong Xu, right? Although he had asked this favor from you, is there a need for you to be so concerned over it?”


    “Please help me, Elder Guo Xiong!” Duan Ling Tian said solemnly.


    Was there a need for him to be so concerned?


    Maybe.


    Even Duan Ling Tian did not know why he was so concerned about Hong Xu’s matter. Perhaps, he pitied Hong Xu. Or it could be that he subconsciously feel guilty since it was because of him that Li An had driven Hong Xu to a dead end.


    “Don’t worry. I know Hong Xu’s n. After I leave here, I’ll look for two friends and head to Hong Xu’s n to ask them to relocate!” Guo Xiong promised solemnly when he saw how serious Duan Ling Tian was.


    Perhaps, he could use Hong Xu’s death to lodge aint against the ck Turtle Sanctum’s Silver me Elder Li An. However, even if the truth was found out by the Saint Land Enforcement Hall, Li An would only be punished lightly, since he did not physically kill Li An.


    As for Hong Xu’s n, even if Li An annihted his n, it did not count as viting the rules in Fire Worship Sect.


    “Thank you, Elder Guo Xiong. I, Duan Ling Tian, will remember this favor of yours!”


    As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, Guo Xing bade Duan Ling Tian farewell and left.


    Duan Ling Tian felt more assured after he heard Guo Xiong’s promise. He instantly returned to the residence of the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples and entered the Primus house as the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples looked at him respectfully. He continued toprehend the number one offensive Divine Ability, the ck Turtle’s Barrier, in the Fire Worship Sect!


    At the same time, news of Duan Ling Tian being a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior and how invincible he was to the extent that he forced his opponent, Hong Xu, tomit suicide, had spread to all four Sanctums and created amotion.


    “Duan Ling Tian’s a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior?”


    “My goodness! Why would a Nine-wed Dragon Warriore to our Fire Worship Sect instead of enjoying all the benefits he would receive in the dragon n?”


    After finding out that Duan Ling Tian was a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior, the members from the four Sanctums were stunned.


    As far as they knew, the position a Seven-wed Dragon Warrior had in the dragon n was equivalent to a Six-wed Divine Dragon while the position an Eight-wed Dragon Warrior was equivalent to a Seven-wed Divine Dragon. The position a Nine-wed Dragon Warrior had in the dragon n, on the other hand, was equivalent to an Eight-wed Divine Dragon!


    The current dragon n did not even have one Eight-wed Divine Dragon!
