<h4>Chapter 2324 Arrogance?</h4>


    The people from the Three Pces and Six Halls saw the corpse of Shi Nan Feng, the Pce Master of Great Spirit Pce, but they did not see how he died. Even the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n could not see how Shi Nan Feng was killed. However, one thing was certain; Duan Ling Tian was the one who killed Shi Nan Feng!


    “Pce Master!” Vice Pce Master Xing Yuan Ba and the high-ranking officials of the Great Spirit Pce cried out in sorrow when they saw their pce master had been killed. Some of them stared at Shi Nan Feng’s body in sorrow, while some of them red at Duan Ling Tian in anger. However, this was the extent they dared to show their rage. What else could do? Could they charge out and fight Duan Ling Tian? Although they were infuriated, it was not to the point where they had lost all rationality.


    “He was killed so easily?” The members of the Three Pces and Six Halls looked at Duan Ling Tian with a fearful expression on their faces after they recovered from the shock. They were terrified of this human who had killed the Pce Master of Great Spirit Pce with such ease. Moreover, he had done it when the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n was around. He hadpletely disregarded the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n and killed Shi Nan Feng. This made all of them realize that Duan Ling Tian was equally as powerful as their patriarch, if not more powerful! Their patriarch had most likely realized this as well. Otherwise, he would have already attacked and killed Duan Ling Tian instead of idling and watching as Duan Ling Tian killed a powerhouse from the Human-Devil n.


    “How’s this possible? How is he so strong?!” Yun Fu Ye, the Vice Pce Master of Wandering Saint Pce, who was standing next to Huang Wen Jing looked at Duan Ling Tian in disbelief. He still found it difficult to ept what had happened was real.


    “Patriarch Yang!” An indifferent voice suddenly rang in the air. The voice sounded booming in the silence. The owner of the voice was none other than the person who had just killed Shi Nan Feng and collected his Spatial Ring, Duan Ling Tian. Currently, his eyes were trained on the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n...


    The Patriarch of the Human-Devil n’s name was Yang Zhen Xing. Four years ago, when Duan Ling Tian had just arrived in the Human-Devil Saint City, he heard people talking about the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n on more than one asion. That was how he knew the patriarch’s name.


    “If my memory serves me right...” Duan Ling Tian said calmly as he looked at Yang Zhen Xing, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n, “Patriarch Yang, didn’t you ask me earlier if I think I have the capability to defeat you just because I had cast my assist-type Divine Ability?” He sized Yang Zhen Xing up as he spoke mockingly.


    Yang Zhen Xing felt humiliated by Duan Ling Tian’s words. However, he did not respond to Duan Ling Tian’s words. He could only endure it and sighed inwardly at his misfortune.


    “Patriarch Yang, it seems like you’re not going to deny that you asked this question earlier...” Duan Ling Tian smiled at Yang Zhen Xing’sck of response. His smile was as bright as the morning sun. However, his smile suddenly disappeared and was reced with a cold expression. “I’ll give you an answer now, Patriarch Yang! I do think I’m capable of defeating you.”


    Many people heard the coldness in Duan Ling Tian’s voice and felt chills running up their spines.


    Duan Ling Tian’s statement echoed in the ears of the people from the Three Pces and Six Halls, causing their expressions to darken immediately.


    A provocation! This is a deration of war!


    Everyone from the Three Pces and Six Halls could tell that Duan Ling Tian was deliberately provoking their patriarch.


    In the next moment...


    “Kill him, Lord Patriarch!”


    “How dare you insult and provoke our patriarch! You’re seeking death!”


    Many people were incensed. They began to cry out one after another and looked at their patriarch with hope shining in their eyes. They hoped their patriarch would have a duel with Duan Ling Tian and kill him. Most of these people were disciples from the Wandering Saint Pce.


    Although the high-ranking officials of Wandering Saint Pce and the high-ranking officials from the Three Pces and Six Halls were enraged by Duan Ling Tian’s provocation, they had remained silent because they suspected Duan Ling Tian was equally as strong, or even stronger, as their patriarch.


    Only the Wandering Saint Pce disciples with a lower cultivation base and poor judgment thought their patriarch was invincible.


    After enduring for a while, Yang Zhen Xing, the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n, finally snapped. “Duan Ling Tian, don’t be too arrogant!” His voice was filled with rage, and it was so powerful that it caused a few people to bleed from their ears.


    “Arrogant?” Duan Ling Tian chuckled when he heard Yang Zhen Xing’s words and smirked. “Patriarch Yang, I’m nning to be arrogant today. What are you going to do about it? Should we duel so we can see how strong the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n is?” His eyes gleamed coldly when he looked at Yang Zhen Xing, causing Yang Zhen Xing to feel even angrier. His words had undoubtedly ced Yang Zhen Xing on the hot seat!


    Yang Zhen Xing’s expression changed drastically, and his gaze was cold. “Duan Ling Tian!” He said, “Do you really think you’re invincible now? Do you really think there is no one stronger around?”


    The Wandering Saint disciples were disappointed because it seemed like their patriarch had no intention of fighting Duan Ling Tian despite his angry words. This made the disciples realize their patriarch was not confident about defeating Duan Ling Tian in his current state. Otherwise, there would be no need to waste so many words, and their patriarch would have attacked.


    Duan Ling Tianughed at Yang Zhen Xing’s provocative words. “Patriarch Yang, I, Duan Ling Tian, never said that I’m invincible... However, I’m curious. Do you think you can defeat me? Or are you talking about that person?!” As soon as he finished speaking, he looked into the sky. His gazended on a figure hidden behind the clouds.


    “That person?”


    As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking and looked into the sky, everyone, including Ke’er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan, lifted their heads and looked into the sky as well.


    “Someone else is here?”


    “Who is it? Based on Duan Ling Tian’s words, that person has to be an Eminent Celestial at least!”


    “There’s only one Eminent Celestial in our Human-Devil n, right? Sorry, I mean there are two from today onward... Is there a third Eminent Celestial hidden among us that we’re unaware of?”


    The people from the Three Pces and Six Halls looked at the sky and discussed among themselves.


    “You... You noticed?!” Yang Zhen Xing’s expression changed drastically. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to detect his master, a Bodiless Celestial, who was hidden behind the clouds.


    “How is it? Do you n to continue hiding?” Duan Ling Tian said harshly with a sneer after seeing theck of response from the other person. “I’ll give you three breaths... If you don’t show yourself by then, I’ll personally invite you out!” He emphasized the word ‘invite’ when he spoke.


    Duan Ling Tian had long noticed the two people’s presence before the Heavenly Tribtion began. He had felt their intense gaze on him and had probed around but did not manage to find anything. He thought it was just a figment of his imagination. However, even after passing the Heavenly Tribtion and the Patriarch of the Human-Devil n had revealed himself, he could still feel the gaze on him. This made him certain there was another person hiding in the dark. He had observed Yang Zhen Xing for a while after he had descended from the sky and discovered Yang Zhen Xing looking up into the sky every once in a while. Although Yang Zhen Xing only looked briefly, it still did not escape Duan Ling Tian who was extremely observant. With all these clues, if he still could not guess there was someone else hiding, he would really be obtuse.


    “Impudent!” Yang Zhen Xing roared in anger and his expression changed after he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.


    As soon as Yang Zhen Xing finished speaking, an ancient voice rang in the air. “Fine! Very well!”


    Swish!


    A grey fog descended from the sky before it solidified and transformed into a grey-d old man.
