Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Boom!

Although the energy that exploded in between Duan Ling Tian and Yang Wu was terrifying, it was extremely gentle, particularly toward Duan Ling Tian who had yet to make his move.

For this reason, Duan Ling Tian was merely sent stumbling backward a few steps without suffering any injuries.

On the other hand, Yang Wu’s energy that was sweeping at Duan Ling Tian, collided with that terrifying energy, causing him to suffer a huge injury from the backlash. He was sent flying into the distance.

Barf!

As he was sent flying, Yang Wu’s internal organs quivered as he threw up a mouthful of blood. It splattered in the sky like dark red roses. quavered as he threw out a huge mouthful of blood.

“Second Young Master!” The old man who was following Yang Wu no longer bothered with Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi. He instantly flew out and helped Yang Wu to stabilize his body.

Whoosh!

At the same time, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, an old man with a huge build appeared nearby. He was dressed in a white long robe embroidered with a flaming Black Turtle. His body was sturdy and tall. He looked like a sturdy tower as he stood there.

At the same time, many people gasped while others exclaimed, “It’s a Silver Flame Elder!”

The white robe the sturdy old man was wearing was embroidered with flames and a Black Turtle that was silver in color. It appeared particularly eye-catching. This was also the trademark of the Fire Worship Sect’s Silver Flame Elder!

The elders in the Fire Worship Sect were divided into three different ranks, they were Bronze Flame Elders, Silver Flame Elders, and Golden Flame Elders.

Among these three, the Golden Flame Elders had the highest position and were the elite high-ranking officials in the Fire Worship Sect.

In the Black Turtle Sanctum, only the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum was a Golden Flame Elder. Based on this, one could see how rare a Golden Flame Elder was. This proved how extraordinary the position was in the Fire Worship Sect.

The Silver Flame Elder came after the Golden Flame Elder.

In the Black Turtle Sanctum, there was a total of five Silver Flame Elders, and each of them was an elite powerhouse in the Black Turtle Sanctum. They were all strong powerhouses who had already entered the Saint Celestial Stage and were ranked in the top 300 of the Supreme Saint Ranking.

If one wanted to become a Silver Flame Elder in the Fire Worship Sect, one must fulfill two conditions.

First, one must be loyal to the Fire Worship Sect.

Second, one must be ranked in the top 300 of the Supreme Saint Ranking.

The most important condition was the second one.

Based on this, one could tell how powerful a Silver Flame Elder was.

Among the crowd, a middle-aged man who was dressed like a scholar said solemnly, “Judging by his huge build, if I’m not mistaken, this Silver Flame Elder must be Elder Teng Shan from the Black Turtle Sanctum!”

“Elder Teng Shan?” Many people instantly began to discuss in a low voice, “Elder Teng Shan is ranked at the 173rd place on the Supreme Saint Ranking. Even among the five Silver Flame Elders in the Black Turtle Sanctum, his strength is ranked in the top three!”

“I can’t believe Elder Teng Shan actually personally came out. It seems like these two people are in trouble now!”

“Elder Teng Shan is famous for having a hot temper! To think they actually dared to fight in the Black Turtle Sanctum! This is like asking for trouble!”

As the people discussed among themselves, many of them looked at Duan Ling Tian and Yang Wu with a hint of pity in their eyes.

“Huh? That person seems a little familiar. Isn’t he the second son of the fifth elder from the Northern Plethora Sect?” Soon after, someone recognized Yang Wu.

The second son of the fifth elder from the Northern Plethora Sect!

Many people instantly shifted their attention to Yang Wu. Some of them who had seen him before immediately recognized who he was. “It’s really him! Yang Wu, the second son of the fifth elder from the Northern Plethora Sect!”

“It’s said that Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, is best friends with Li An, the first Silver Flame Elder of the Black Turtle Sanctum. Elder Li An is a Silver Flame Elder who is even more powerful than Elder Teng Shan! Looks like the person who fought with Yang Wu is doomed!” More and more people began to look at Duan Ling Tian sympathetically.

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian also heard the discussion. It caused him to frown a little as his heart jolted.

The expressions on Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi’s faces, on the other hand, turned completely grave.

In their opinion, as a Silver Flame Elder from the Black Turtle Sanctum, Elder Teng Shan must be on the same side with Elder Li An. Coupled with the fact that Li An was stronger than him, he had to consider Li An’s reputation as well. Not to mention Li An and Yang Wu’s father were best friends! Elder Teng Shan was most likely on Yang Wu’s side!

Everyone present on the scene, including Yang Wu, thought this Silver Flame Elder, Teng Shan, would take his side, but to everyone’s surprise, he glared at Yang Wu and said angrily, “To think you actually dare to make a move in the Black Turtle Sanctum! How bold of you!”

As his voice sounded, a wave of awe-inspiring soundwave and aura shrouded Yang Wu, causing him to be even more injured. Once again, he threw up a mouthful of blood as his face turned pale.

A hint of horror immediately appeared in Yang Wu’s eyes.

This Teng Shan actually did not show any consideration for Elder Li An at all?

Perhaps, he did not hear the discussion in the surroundings and did not know who he was.

At the same time, an uproar broke out immediately.

Nobody expected Teng Shan to make a move against Yang Wu. This was completely beyond their expectations. “What’s going on? Elder Teng Shan actually punished Yang Wu? Does he not know who Yang Wu is?”

“Elder Teng Shan must not have heard our discussion and doesn’t know who Yang Wu is. Otherwise, even if he doesn’t care for Yang Wu’s father, he would still have to take Elder Li An into consideration.”

“I think so as well!”

The crowd discussed among themselves and reached their own conclusion.

Duan Ling Tian, Gu Li, and Zhu Lu Qi shared the same thought as the others as well.

The old man beside Yang Wu had the same thought with everyone else. He thought Teng Shan was unaware of Yang Wu’s identity so he immediately reminded him by saying, “Elder Teng Shan, this is Second Young Master Yang Wu, the second son of the fifth elder, Yang Chong, of the Northern Plethora Sect.” He continued to say in case Teng Shan was unaware of the relationship between Elder Li An and their fifth elder, “Elder Li An from the Sanctum of your sect is our fifth elder’s best friend. I’m sure you must have heard about it as well, Elder Teng Shan.”

“So what?” However, to everyone’s surprise, Teng Shan’s expression remained unchanged even when he heard the old man’s words. He said indifferently, “No matter who you are, you still need to obey the Black Turtle Sanctum’s rules. Even if it’s Elder Li An’s biological son, I won’t show any mercy as well if he breaks the rules of the Black Turtle Sanctum, let alone the son of Elder Li An’s friend! I believe that if Elder Li An is present on the scene, he’ll agree with me as well.”

Teng Shan’s righteousness had taken many people by surprise.

“Elder Teng Shan seems like a good person,” Gu Li whispered as he sighed in relief.

Zhu Lu Qi nodded.

Duan Ling Tian glanced at Teng Shan. The hints of dread in his eyes had vanished, and it was replaced with admiration.

Put everything else aside, just Elder Teng Shan’s righteousness alone had already earned his respect.

“Elder Teng Shan’s right!” At this moment, another ancient-sounding voice reverberated in the air and attracted the crowd’s attention.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a skinny old man appeared. This old man was wearing the same robe as Teng Shan. He was also a Silver Flame Elder.

Upon seeing this person, Yang Wu’s eyes lit up as he called out, clearly pleasantly surprised, “Uncle Li An!”

Everyone present on the scene instantly regained their senses.

This Silver Flame Elder was none other than Li An from the Fire Worship Sect’s Black Turtle Sanctum.

Li An was also the most powerful Silver Flame Elder in the Black Turtle Sanctum!

Ever since Li An appeared, his expression remained neutral. There was no expression of joy nor anger. Although he had heard Yang Wu’s greeting, he only looked at him indifferently and ignored him.

Yang Wu frowned upon seeing this. Previously, Uncle Li An had never been so cold to him!

“Little Wu, don’t worry. Uncle Li An will make sure you’re satisfied with the outcome of today’s incident.” Yang Wu was feeling a little unhappy in his heart when a voice rang in his ear. He could tell the voice belonged to Li An.

The dark clouds in his heart vanished immediately and were replaced with a sense of excitement instead. Uncle Li An was on his side no matter what.

“Elder Teng Shan, just as the saying goes, ‘It takes two to quarrel.’ You’ve punished Yang Wu, isn’t it time for you to punish the other party?” Li An asked as he looked at Teng Shan. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately turned to look at Duan Ling Tian. His eyes were filled with killing intent when he looked at Duan Ling Tian, causing him to feel as though he had been targeted by a poisonous snake. At the same time, horror dawned him.

‘Li An wants to kill me?’ At this instant, Duan Ling Tian had also realized how naive he was. He had thought Li An was as righteous as Teng Shan was when he heard Li An’s words earlier.

However, judging by the current situation, it was apparent Li An was different from Teng Shan.

“Elder Li An, Yang Wu was the only one who made a move.” Teng Shan frowned. He did not make a move against Duan Ling Tian even though Li An told him to.

The energy he had unleashed earlier in between Duan Ling Tian and Yang Wu just now had another use apart from stopping the fight. It proved who made a move first. Whoever activated their energies would be injured by his wave of energy instead!

Earlier, Yang Wu was the only who was injured. Duan Ling Tian remained unharmed. This meant Yang Wu was the only one who violated the Black Turtle Sanctum’s rules. Due to this reason, he did not plan to punish Duan Ling Tian.

“Elder Teng Shan, I’ve just said that it takes two to quarrel! Since you’re not going to punish him, leave this matter to me then!” Li An’s expression turned grim when he heard Teng Shan’s words. He raised his hand and slapped it in Duan Ling Tian’s direction.

Boom!

The air instantly trembled a vast and terrifying energy rushed toward Duan Ling Tian.

In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian felt as though he was being suffocated. The energy that had charged toward him was extremely terrifying. It locked him in place. He could not move at all.

“NO!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed as an expression of unwillingness appeared on his face.

He was 100% certain he would die if this wave of energy landed on him.
