Dong Guo Zhi took a deep breath. His sullen expression had disappeared as he calmed himself down. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked, “Sir, if I intend to betray you, is there a need for me to remind you in the first place? I’m sure you’re aware I’ve been hiding for a while now.” There was a hint of killing intent in the depths of his eyes that was directed at Duan Ling Tian.

Although the killing intent had appeared only very briefly, Duan Ling Tian with his amazing observational skill managed to catch it. Based on that, he was convinced Dong Guo Zhi’s intention was not pure!

“If I’m not mistaken…” Duan Ling Tian looked at Dong Guo Zhi and said, “You should be from the Thousand Years Alliance, right? It seems like you’re reminding me out of goodwill, but the truth is that you just want to borrow my hands to kill Ou Qing!”

A hint of surprise appeared in Dong Guo Zhi’s eyes when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He became flustered and ill at ease. However, in just a blink of an eye, all of it disappeared. He regained his composure and looked calm.

Regardless, it was all useless since Duan Ling Tian had seen Dong Guo Zhi’s reaction.

Put aside the fact that Duan Ling Tian had become very guarded after experiencing so many things in this life, being a Weapon Specialist in his past life had made him very astute.

“Don’t you think you’re overthinking things?” Dong Guo Zhi said calmly with an innocent expression on his face as though he meant Duan Ling Tian no harm.

Unfortunately, no matter how friendly Dong Guo Zhi acted, it was impossible for him to fool Duan Ling Tian.

“Sir Black-robed!” At this moment, Lu Jin who was standing behind Ou Qing said to Duan Ling Tian respectfully, “This Dong Guo Zhi is the Young Leader of the Thousand Years Alliance. The Thousand Years Alliance has always been in conflict with the Seven Kill Alliance. Indeed, he’s trying to borrow your hands to do his dirty work!”

Dong Guo Zhi scoffed as soon as Lu Jin finished speaking. “Borrowing someone’s hands to do my dirty work? Put aside the fact that Ou Qing is not a match for me, even if you joined forces with Shi Kun who was killed, would both of you be a match for Elder Wang who’s by my side?” It was obvious Elder Wang was the old man standing behind him.

“You’re right. Even if I join forces with Shi Kun, we won’t be a match for Elder Wang,” Lu Jin shot a nervous look at the old man standing behind Dong Guo Zhi before he said, “However, would you and Elder Wang dare to make a move against us? If you decide to attack us, what happens here will be transmitted to the Leader of the Seven Kill Alliance through the Minor Mirror Image Talisman. At that time, the Seven Kill Alliance wouldn’t rest until we take the Thousand Years Alliance down. If this happens, only the Eternal Alliance would benefit from it. Young Master Dong, even a boor like me knows that, let alone a person like you!”

Lu Jin’s words left no room for Dong Guo Zhi to argue and his expression turned gloomier.

Lu Jin did not plan to let Dong Guo Zhi off the hook just like that. He said, “Sir Black-Robed, there’s no longer any loopholes in the lightning penalty that I and young master swore so there’s no reason for you to worry about us spreading word about what happened today. However, Young Leader Dong Guo Zhi from the Thousand Years Alliance who’s eager to cause trouble might not let today’s incident go! After all, if he spreads word about what happened today, you’ll become an enemy of the Seven Kill Alliance. I have no doubt that many men from the Seven Kill Alliance would die in your hands. He has much to gain and nothing to lose. If he’s unwilling to swear on the lightning penalty oath, I suggest that you kill him and the one behind him!”

Similarly, Lu Jin seemed to be helping Duan Ling Tian, but he was just like Dong Guo Zhi. He was trying to get Duan Ling Tian to kill the other two people. Naturally, Lu Jin had his doubts as well. He was not sure if Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or higher.

Lu Jin only knew for sure that Duan Ling Tian was stronger than him so Duan Ling Tian might be a powerhouse at the peak of the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

Lu Jin looked at Duan Ling Tian and continued to say, “Elder Wang who’s standing behind Young Master Dong is one of the elite elders from the Thousand Years Alliance. His name is Wang Ding Shan, and he’s a powerhouse at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He’s ranked at the 156th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking!”

Lu Jin stared intently at Duan Ling Tian once he finished speaking, trying to catch Duan Ling Tian’s reaction now that he had revealed the strength of the powerhouse guarding Dong Guo Zhi.

However, Lu Jin was quickly disappointed. This was because it was impossible for him to see the black-robed man’s face that was covered with a hood.

‘However, he didn’t even tremble when I told him about Wang Ding Shan. Does that mean he’s not afraid of him?’ Lu Jin thought to himself. He was not certain.

‘Ranked at the 156th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking?’

Nobody knew that when Duan Ling Tian heard Lu Jin’s words, he was distracted. He was thinking back to the time when he had first arrived in the Upper Province and the Fire Worship Sect.

‘I remember Li An, the First Silver Flame Elder of the Black Turtle Sanctum, is ranked at the 139th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking.’

The Fire Worship Sect’s Silver Flame, Elder Li An’s ranking was quite close to Wang Ding Shan’s ranking.

‘Back then, I was just like an ant in front of Li An. I had to rely on the Fire Worship Sect’s rules to survive until now. However, I’m no longer afraid of Li An!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself confidently.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian regained his senses and asked Lu Jin indifferently, “I see you also intend to borrow my hands to kill him?”

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Universal Ruler, had already appeared in his hands, hidden under his sleeve. Nobody was aware of this.

In the next moment…

Hu!

Before Lu Jin could react, Duan Ling Tian had already appeared in front of him.

“Universe Teleportation!” In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian raised his hand that was holding the Universal Ruler that he had hidden under his sleeve.

In just an instant, the space Duan Ling Tian occupied began to ripple and distort. At least, it looked that way to Ou Qing, Dong Guo Zhi, and Wang Ding Shan.

Bang!

In the next moment, they heard a loud explosion and the space that was distorted had returned to normal.

At the same time, they saw Lu Jin flying backward like an arrow that had been shot out. Halfway through, he began to throw up blood. He looked extremely wretched.

It was obvious the sound of explosion was the sound of the black-robed man’s force landing on Lu Jin’s body.

In just a blink of an eye, Lu Jin who was ranked at the 295th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking was severely injured!

‘So strong!’

Ou Qing and Dong Guo Zhi trembled inwardly while Wang Ding Shan had a guarded look in his eyes.

Wang Ding Shan thought it was a Divine Ability that made the space ripple and distort. However, he could not see through it at all. How could he not be guarded?

After injuring Lu Jin, Duan Ling Tian shifted his gaze to Dong Guo Zhi and said indifferently. “Swear on the lightning penalty oath like them or die!” Duan Ling Tian had spoken calmly, but he had emphasized on the word ‘die’.

Dong Guo Zhi’s expression changed dramatically.

Dong Guo Zhi and Wang Ding Shan’s expressions darkened. Wang Ding Shan leaned forward as though he was preparing to make a move against Duan Ling Tian. However, Dong Guo Zhi stopped him.

“Elder Wang, just bear with it for now. We don’t know anything about the black-robed man. If you attack him recklessly, you might offend him. If he’s stronger than you, then there’s no way we’ll be able to live.” Dong Guo Zhi sent a Voice Transmission message to Wang Ding Shan. “We’ll do as he says for now. It’s not too late for us to deal with him once we meet my father. We’re merely swearing that we won’t tell anyone about what we’ve seen. We’re not swearing that we won’t look for trouble with him later!” Based on this, one could see Dong Guo Zhi was a smart and cautious person.

Dong Guo Zhi successfully persuaded Wang Di Shan. After all, Wang Di Shan was also uncertain if he could defeat Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian’s confidence made him feel wary.

“As you wish.”

Subsequently, Dong Guo Zhi and Wang Ding Shan swore on the lightning penalty oath that they would not tell anyone about what they had seen today. Otherwise, they would be killed by the lightning penalty.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As nine claps of thunder rang in the sky, Dong Guo Zhi sighed in relief, thinking that the matter is over now.

In the next moment, Dong Guo Zhi prepared to leave and said, “Elder Wang, let’s go!”

Just as Dong Guo Zhi called out to Wang Ding Shan and was about to leave, Duan Ling Tian stopped them.

“Wait!”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian, Dong Guo Zhi’s expression darkened immediately. “Elder Wang and I have done exactly as you told us to and swore on the lightning penalty. What else do you want from us? Don’t go overboard, sir!” He began to sound a little angry when he spoke.
