Chapter 3738 - Duan Ling Tian’s Obstinance

"I refuse."

Everyone fell silent again. The core disciples and inner elders who were watching thought Duan Ling Tian was too gullible. At the same time, they were also wondering why Qian Yin or the two supreme elders did not immediately kill Duan Ling Tian. They did not understand what was going on. "Duan Ling Tian!" Tang Chun's expression changed slightly. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian to reject Qian Yin so bluntly and even said he was no longer a disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect. Clearly, Duan Ling Tian decided to sever all ties with the Hidden Fog Sect.

On the other hand, Wu Feng Yin, the second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect, watched with his eyes shining with anticipation. He was certain Qian Yin would kill Duan Ling Tian now.

Contrary to expectations, Qian Yin calmly said, "Duan Ling Tian, it's your right to leave the Hidden Fog Sect. However, even if you're not a disciple of the sect, it's impossible for the sect to let you go after you killed our sect's disciples. Imprisonment is a light punishment considering your crimes. When you're imprisoned in Supreme Elder Feng's Little World, you can still communicate with the outside world. You can send a message to your elders to solve this matter for you. We'll naturally let you go once we're satisfied."

Qian Yin thought Duan Ling Tian did not understand his good intentions so he explained everything to Duan Ling Tian. He did not want to offend the force behind Duan Ling Tian, and he wanted to maintain the Hidden Fog Sect's reputation. Nonetheless, it was impossible for him to let Duan Ling Tian off the hook. Even if he was willing, Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei would definitely be unwilling

Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei had also compromised because they were wary of the force behind Duan Ling Tian. If the force Duan Ling Tian belonged to was truly strong, they would let him go. If the force was on par with them, they would ask for compensation. Otherwise, they would kill Duan Ling Tian to avenge their disciples.

Upon hearing Qian Yin's words, realization dawned on the onlookers.

"I think Duan Ling Tian must have a powerful background!" "I knew it! Under normal circumstances, even if Sect Leader is willing to let Duan Ling Tian off the hook, Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei won't agree to it. However, earlier, the two supreme elders actually compromised. As it turns out, they're wary of the force behind Duan Ling Tian." "Isn't Duan Ling Tian from a Devata Realm? What kind of background would he have in the Profound Energy Land?"

"Don't forget that there is no lack of forces founded by those from the Devata Realms in the Realms of Gods. Among these forces, there are also emperor-rank and supreme forces."

"Considering how wary the sect leader and the supreme elders are, the force behind him has to be quite powerful."

On the other hand, Wu Feng Yin's expression changed again and again. His heart turned cold now that he learned that Duan Ling Tian had a powerful background that could even make the sect leader and the two supreme elders wary. He did not expect his disciple, Tu Feng, to make an enemy out of such a person. He could not help but panic at this moment. If Duan Ling Tian left the Hidden Fog Sect today, it would be almost impossible for him to deal with Duan Ling Tian. He considered leaving the Hidden Fog Sect and the Eastern Ridge Mansion, disguising himself, and changing his name. After a moment, he finally made up his mind. He no longer cared about his enmity with Duan Ling Tian at this moment, He just wanted to hide now lest Duan Ling Tian intended to settle accounts with him.

Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of Wu Feng Yin's thoughts. In fact, he had long forgotten about Tu Feng and Wu Feng Yin. He looked at Qian Yin and calmly said, "No. Sect Leader Qian Yin, you're aware of what had happened. If Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao succeeded in killing me today, what would happen to them if I'm just an ordinary disciple without any support?" A mocking smile appeared on his face as he continued to say, "I'm afraid those two wouldn't be punished even if they clearly violated the sect's rules. Perhaps, only if I have a powerful background would the Hidden Fog Sect and the two supreme elders be willing to punish them,

right?"

Duan Ling Tian sneered after he finished speaking Everyone was shocked by Duan Ling Tian's boldness and confidence. Many inner elders smiled wryly upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words. They knew Duan Ling Tian was right. If Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao were to kill them, the duo would not be punished at all. After all, the duo had powerful masters.

Qian Yin's eyes flashed coldly as he said in a deep voice, "We won't compromise on this punishment no matter what. It's good enough that we're only imprisoning you."

Qian Yin and the two supreme elders had come to an agreement before this. It was impossible for them to leave the Hidden Fog Sect today. They had to imprison him no matter what. Moreover, they had no concrete evidence that Duan Ling Tian truly had a powerful background. If it turned out that Duan Ling Tian did not have any background, would they not suffer a loss if they let him go now?

At this time, Supreme Elder Lei said impatiently, "Sect Leader, why are you wasting time with him? Let Supreme Elder Feng capture him and imprison him in the Little World after sealing his cultivation base. We'll wait for his elders to come and settle this matter after that."

As soon as Supreme Elder Lei's voice fell, Supreme Elder Feng's robes began to flutter in the wind. Following that, a burst of cold wind swept out toward Duan Ling Tian.

However, Duan Ling Tian only stared at Supreme Elder Feng without moving.

Everyone thought that Duan Ling Tian was frightened and could not react. "This is the best outcome. With this, Wu Yan doesn't have to worry about him,' Tang Chun thought to himself as he sighed in relief. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian would be freed once Duan Ling Tian's elders came to the sect. During this time, he was certain Qian Yin and the two supreme elders would not dare to harm Duan Ling Tian.

Boom!

Supreme Elder Feng's attack was forcibly stopped in front of Duan Ling Tian. "Who is it?" Supreme Elder Lei exclaimed.

At the same time, Supreme Elder Feng's expression changed drastically.

Qian Yin looked around his surroundings warily.

At this time, a burst of laughter rang in the air. Then, a rotund figure appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian.

"When did the Hidden Fog Sect fall so low? To think a few elders are bullying a junior..."

"Linghu Huan?!"

Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei's expressions changed slightly when they saw Linghu Huan. Then, they looked around them. Based on what they know about Linghu Huan, it was impossible for him to have come to the Hidden Fog Sect alone.

Everyone from the Hidden Fog Sect, including Qian Yin, followed the direction of the two supreme elders' gazes. Soon enough, they saw another figure appearing in the sky.

Unlike the rotund old man, the figure belonged to a skinny old man. He had clearly restrained his aura. If they did not see him now, they would not have been able to sense him at all.

Whoosh!

"Linghu Heng!"

Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei's expressions turned warier.

"Why are you here? How dare you trespass into our sect! Are you trying to start a war between the Hidden Fog Sect and the Linghu clan?"

At this moment, the core disciples and the inner disciples whispered fervently among themselves.

"Earlier, Supreme Elder Lei called the chubby old man Linghu Huan. He must be the second Supreme Elder of the Linghu clan, Linghu Huan!"

"Linghu Heng and Linghu Huan? They're one of the strongest people in the Linghu clan. I heard that they're twins. I heard that if they join forces, even the four Supreme Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect would find it difficult to defeat them!"

"Why are they here? Moreover, they appeared at such a critical moment! Don't tell me they're here because of Duan Ling Tian?!"

"Don't tell me Duan Ling Tian comes from the Linghu clan?"

"Impossible! What's the point of him joining the Hidden Fog Sect if he's from the Linghu clan? He'd be wasting his time!"

Linghu Heng and Linghu Huan's names carried more weight compared to the four Supreme Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect, Supreme Elder Feng; Supreme Elder Lei; Supreme Elder Yun; and Supreme Elder Wu.

Linghu Huan scoffed as he looked at Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei. Then, he said disdainfully, "If we weren't here today, the member of our Linghu clan would've been imprisoned by the Hidden Fog Sect today!"
