Chapter 2027: Blocking Dong Lin
How was this possible?!
Currently, Dong Lin was not the only one who felt this was impossible! In the Fire Remuneration Palace, everyone was looking at Duan Ling Tian intently. Their eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief.
“Blue Innate Spiritual Root! How can it be a blue Innate Spiritual Root?!”
“Is something wrong with that Spiritual Pearl? Duan Ling Tian has a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, right? How can it possibly be a blue Innate Spiritual Root?”
“I also think there’s something wrong with that Spiritual Pearl. Duan Ling Tian had tested his Innate Spiritual Root twice. The results were the same. It showed that he only possesses a yellow Innate Spiritual Root!”
“Something must be wrong with that Spiritual Pearl!”
The group of Saint Land disciples in the Fire Remuneration Palace had long been prejudiced by their impression of Duan Ling Tian only possessing a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. That was why they found this difficult to believe. Coupled with the fact that Duan Ling Tian had tested his Innate Spiritual Root twice, they were certain there was something wrong with the Spiritual Pearl Duan Ling Tian was currently holding.
Chen Peng snorted before he said disdainfully, “Hurmph! Something must be wrong with the Spiritual Pearl… Duan Ling Tian, if you dare, use another Spiritual Pearl to check your Innate Spiritual Root! I really don’t believe that a commoner who was tested twice and found to possess a yellow Innate Spiritual Root would suddenly possess a blue Innate Spiritual Root!”
“Commoner?” Upon hearing his words, Duan Ling Tian looked at him with a sneer before he said, “Chen Peng, you keep calling me a commoner so I’d like to ask you, do you dare to sign the Death Pact with me and have fun in the Palace of Death?”
Have fun in the Palace of Death?
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, the Saint Land disciples in the Fire Remuneration Palace burst into an uproar again.
“Is Duan Ling Tian addicted to signing Death Pacts?”
“Isn’t this obvious? He first signed the Death Pact with Yang Wen. Then, when he had a dispute with Senior Sister Wen Yan, he also announced that he wanted to sign a Death Pact with her. Now, he wants to sign the Death Pact with Chen Peng! If this is not being addicted, I don’t know what is!”
“Although Chen Peng is the direct disciple of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s First Silver Flame Elder Li An and a true disciple in our Fire Worship Sect, he’s much weaker than Senior Sister Wen Yan. How could he possibly dare to sign a Death Pact with Duan Ling Tian?”
“Isn’t this obvious? There’s no way he would sign a Death Pact with Duan Ling Tian unless he wants to die!”
The Saint Land disciples were 100% certain Chen Peng would not dare to sign a Death Pact with Duan Ling Tian! Although it was true Chen Peng did not dare to sign a Death Pact with Duan Ling Tian, he was still furious and embarrassed when he heard the discussion in his surroundings. His face turned pale immediately as various expressions flitted across his face. He no longer dared to speak, and he acted as though he did not hear Duan Ling Tian’s words at all.
If it was any other person, Duan Ling Tian might have let the matter go. However, this was Chen Peng, Li An’s direct disciple, who was the main culprit for today’s incident! He had no intention of being lenient to someone like that!
“What? Are you afraid?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Chen Peng with disdain and smiled mockingly. “Didn’t you call me a commoner? You don’t even dare to sign a Death Pact with a commoner. Doesn’t that mean you can’t even compare to a commoner?”
Chen Peng became furious as soon as he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. His face turned completely red. Although he was furious, he did not dare to vent it on Duan Ling Tian. This caused him to feel suffocated as though his lungs were going to explode!
“Tsk tsk… It seems like you admit you’re not even comparable to a commoner!” Duan Ling Tian further mocked Chen Peng when he saw how he did not dare to utter a single word despite how furious he was. “Based on what I can see, you’re just trash!”
Trash!
The instant Duan Ling Tian’s words left his mouth, Chen Peng was so furious that he growled in a low voice. “Duan Ling Tian, don’t cross the line!” He could not endure being called trash in front of so many people. Naturally, he only dared to retaliate verbally. He did not have the courage to make a move.
“Don’t cross the line?” Upon hearing his words, Duan Ling Tian was amused. However, his expression remained calm. “Don’t tell me I’m wrong? If you want to prove you’re not trash, I’ll give you a chance and let you sign a Death Pact with me if you’re brave enough!” There was no doubt Duan Ling Tian’s words further infuriated Chen Peng. However, there was no way for him to refute it. He was really not courageous enough to sign a Death Pact with Duan Ling Tian.
“Hurmph!” At this moment, Dong Lin who had been keeping quiet suddenly snorted. After he looked at Duan Ling Tian, he no longer said anything as he turned to walk out of the Fire Remuneration Palace.
Upon seeing this, the Saint Land disciples in the Fire Remuneration Palace burst into a commotion again.
“What’s Elder Dong Lin doing? He’s leaving just like that?”
“This is different from what I imagined…”
“It’s different from what I imagined as well! I thought Elder Dong Lin would also insist there’s something wrong with the Spiritual Pearl and ask Duan Ling Tian to check his Innate Spiritual Root again. I can’t believe he’s leaving without saying anything!”
“Could it be that Elder Dong Lin believes Duan Ling Tian possesses a blue Innate Spiritual Root? Isn’t this ridiculous?!”
“I find this hard to believe so I thought Elder Dong Lin would have an even harder time believing this. However, it seems like he believes Duan Ling Tian really possesses a blue Innate Spiritual Root!”
The Saint Land disciples discussed among themselves. They could not understand Dong Lin’s action.
Even Chen Peng did not expect Dong Lin would react this way. He only regained his senses when he saw Dong Lin leaving. He had a confused expression on his face as he called out, “Senior Brother Dong Lin!”
However, Dong Lin ignored him and walked out of the Fire Remuneration Palace on his own.
Something was wrong with the Spiritual Pearl? Dong Lin had also thought of this. However, he had heard that it was rare for something to be wrong with a Spiritual Pearl. Coupled with Duan Ling Tian’s confidence, he could not help but feel wary. If he continued to insist that Duan Ling Tian check his Innate Spiritual Root again, he would not be able to back down gracefully. If it was confirmed Duan Ling Tian really possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root, not only would the excuse he came up with to ban Duan Ling Tian be invalid, but he would also be considered as abusing his power! As an Enforcement Hall’s elder, even if he was the only son of the Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Master, he still did not dare to openly abuse his power! There was still a Hall Master above the Vice Hall Masters, let alone the fact that there were several Vice Hall Masters in the Enforcement Hall! If news of him abusing his power spread out, the Hall Master would be furious. At that time, even his father would not be able to help him! For this reason, Dong Lin did not insist on Duan Ling Tian checking his Innate Spiritual Root again. He felt it was unnecessary and risky!
It was fine if they found Duan Ling Tian only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. However, if it was confirmed that he really possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root, Dong Lin would be doomed!
The Saint Land disciples in the Fire Remuneration Palace had an expression of disbelief on their faces when they saw Dong Lin ignoring Chen Peng. They did not expect Dong Lin to leave.
Even the few Fire Remuneration Palace’s elders standing behind the counters were baffled. They did not expect this.
As Dong Lin was about to step out of the Fire Remuneration Palace’s great entrance, someone broke the silence and called out, “Wait a minute!”
Then, under the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Ling Tian flew out rapidly and appeared before the great entrance of the Fire Remuneration Palace, blocking Dong Lin’s path.
This scene shocked the Saint Land disciples in the Fire Remuneration Palace. They were all excited as they stared at Duan Ling Tian who was blocking Dong Lin’s path. Initially, they thought the show would end since Dong Lin was leaving. They did not expect the sudden turn in the situation!
Duan Ling Tian had blocked Dong Lin’s path!
Meanwhile, Chen Peng was standing in the distance. Earlier, Dong Lin had ignored him. He was still confused as a sense of disappointment washed over him. If Dong Lin left, he would not be able to suppress Duan Ling Tian all on his own! His eyes brightened immediately when he saw Duan Ling Tian had taken the initiative to stop Dong Lin from leaving.
“Duan Ling Tian!” Dong Lin was enraged when he saw Duan Ling Tian had blocked his path. With a low growl, he asked, “Do you think I’m Wen Yan?” Although he had heard about how Duan Ling Tian had blocked Wen Yan’s path, he did not think Duan Ling Tian would do the same to him! His innate talent and strength might be inferior to Wen Yan. His father was the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall. His father’s position was equivalent to a Golden Flame Elder. In fact, his father’s position could be considered as slightly higher than Golden Flame Elders due to the special position of the Enforcement Hall.
Wen Yan was merely the direct disciple of an ordinary Golden Flame Elder. Dong Lin, on the other hand, was the only son of the Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Master!
“Elder Dong Lin, why are you in a hurry to leave?” Duan Ling Tian asked nonchalantly as he looked at the infuriated Dong Lin.
