“A secret tactic that can change one’s body size would change everything. Only the celestials are capable of such a thing!” Elder Huo said, mercilessly destroying Duan Ling Tian’s hope. His words simply meant that such a tactic existed, but it was not something Duan Ling Tian could master at the moment. Only the celestials who had successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation and ascended to the Devata Realms were capable of such a feat!

‘I guess I’ll have to think of another way,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian left the inn to buy a few long and loose black robes with hoods that would fully hide his body.

‘If I go out wearing these robes, even my father and mother won’t recognize me, let alone the Golden Lion King!’ Duan Ling Tian felt more confident when he looked at the long and loose black robes he had bought. He began to feel more at ease as well.

When Duan Ling Tian realized he had forgotten to take away Xie Zong’s Minor Mirror Image Talisman before he killed Xie Zong, he was extremely stressed on the inside even though outwardly he remained calm. This was all due to Xie Zong’s father, the Golden Lion King, one of the Four Great Karmapas of the Black Kshetra Sect! The Golden Lion King’s cultivation base was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. If Duan Ling Tian had to fight him, there was no doubt he would die!

After Duan Ling Tian made his preparations, he began to relax a little. ‘With my current face and the long and loose robes I bought, the Golden Lion King probably won’t be able to recognize me.’

Now that Duan Ling Tian had time, he began to think about what had happened today. He thought of how he lured Xie Zong out of Sin City and killing Xie Zong in just one move with his sword before he could activate the Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman! Apart from that, he finally regained the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet.

Duan Ling Tian felt like he was dreaming when he thought about this.

‘When Xie Zong came to the Azure Cloud Mansion and treated me like an ant because of his superior strength, I was so helpless. It was true that, at that time, I was like an ant. I wouldn’t have been able to endure even a blow from him!’ Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts returned to the time when Xie Zong had barged into the Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province. At that time, Xie Zong was extremely domineering! For that reason, he had no choice but to hand the Devilseal Tablet over to Xie Zong. The helplessness he felt at that time was still fresh in his mind.

‘Apart from that, he reneged on his promise after he killed Elder Ku. He wanted to kill everyone in the Azure Cloud Mansion except for those who have very close ties with me!’ At that time, Duan Ling Tian was furious and helpless that Xie Zong had deceived him.

Duan Ling Tian felt helpless more than anything else. Although Xie Zong reneged on his promise, he still could not stop Xie Zong. He could only silently swear to kill Xie Zong one day in the future.

‘After two years, I’m finally able to fulfill the promise I made to myself back then.’

After taking a deep breath, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes seemed unfocused as he murmured to himself, “Elder Ku, I’ve killed Xie Zong to avenge you. You can rest in peace now. As for our ten brothers from the Black Armored Army, this useless Young Mansion Master has finally avenged all of you. You may all rest in peace now!” Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief after that.

‘Xie Zong, I’m afraid that until the end, you didn’t think I’ll be able to kill you so easily, right?’ Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts went back to Xie Zong whom he killed today.

Today, Duan Ling Tian had seized the chance and killed Xie Zong in one move with the Jasper Celestial Sword when Xie Zong thought he could gain the upper hand by using the Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman. From the beginning until the end, Xie Zong did not even have time to react.

“It’s a pity I didn’t let him feel despair before he died. It was too easy of a death for him.”

Xie Zong had been killed swiftly in just a blow with Duan Ling Tian’s sword. Perhaps, he did not feel anything at all when he died. After all, Xie Zong was certain he would gain the upper hand when he threw the Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman out.

Duan Ling Tian thought it was a shame that he had died so easily.

“Regardless, now that he’s dead, there’s no more enmity between us. Not only did I regain the Devilseal Tablet, but he had also left behind a Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman for me!” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as he took the Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman out.

Upon closer inspection, the Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman seemed like an ordinary Dao Talisman if there were no mini flashes of violet lightning around it.

While Duan Ling Tian was studying the Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman…

Whoosh!

A tall and terrifyingly fast figure flew into Sin City and immediately found Chu Tan Sheng, the Black Kshetra Sect elder. Chu Tan Sheng was the one who accompanied Xie Zong today. He was also the leader of the team that Black Kshetra Sect sent out to buy resources.

Upon seeing the furious expression Xie Kang Xun’s face and his sudden appearance, Chu Tan Sheng’s expression changed immediately. An ominous feeling rose in his heart. “Great Lord Karmapa!”

The Golden Lion King had left the Black Kshetra Sect to come to Sin City! He would beat himself silly if he thought the Golden Lion King had come for a stroll in Sin City.

Pa!

When Chu Tan Shen respectfully greeted Xie Kang Xun, Xie Kang Xun responded by giving him a hard slap across his face. With that slap alone, Chu Tan Sheng’s face became swollen. He was stunned and did not dare to show any hint of resentment.

‘Did something really happen to Xie Zong?’ Chu Tang Sheng shuddered. At this moment, the anger the Golden Lion King emitted was palpable.

“My son, Xie Zong, was lured out of Sin City and killed by this person!” Xie Kang Xun said as he took out a scroll and quickly used a brush to draw a picture of a young man.

“This…” Chu Tan Sheng felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at the picture. It was as though he had seen him before.

Before Chu Tan Sheng managed to figure out where he had seen the man before, Xie Kang Xun said, “This man is the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion from the Lower Province. His name is Duan Ling Tian!”

Duan Ling Tian, the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province! Chu Tan Sheng finally remembered where he had seen that young man.

Duan Ling Tian was the lucky person who obtained the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet. However, his Devilseal Tablet was taken away by their Black Kshetra Sect elder, Xie Zong.

“It’s him.” Chu Tan Sheng finally realized why the young man on the scroll looked familiar. As it turned out, he had seen portraits of this man circulating in the Upper Province. The portraits had come from the Lower Province.

“Apart from being the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion, he’s also the new prodigy, the second strongest prodigy, in the Fire Worship Sect!” Xie Kang Xun said icily, making Chu Tan Sheng shudder.

Upon hearing Xie Kang Xun’s words, Chu Tang Sheng was stunned. Then, he asked in disbelief, “Are you sure, Great Lord Karmapa? I’ve seen the portrait of Duan Ling Tian from the Fire Worship Sect. They look different.”

When Duan Ling Tian, the new prodigy in the Fire Worship Sect, first rose to fame in the Upper Province, his portraits were circulated among the major forces in the Upper Province, including the Black Kshetra Sect.

As it happened, Chu Tang Sheng had seen a portrait of the Fire Worship Sect’s second strongest prodigy, Duan Ling Tian. This was the reason why he was skeptical.

“Duan Ling Tian has mastered an undetectable disguising tactic that changes the bone structure of his face,” Xie Kang Xun answered Chu Tan Sheng’s question icily.

Although Xie Kang Xun only saw Duan Ling Tian’s disguising tactic through the Minor Major Mirror Image Talisman, as a powerhouse at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, a top powerhouse in the Upper Province, he could tell how extraordinary the technique Duan Ling Tian had mastered was.

“Such disguising methods exist?” Chu Tang Sheng was shocked. When he regained his senses, he began to think out loud. “I’m afraid even people from Fire Worship Sect won’t expect that their strongest prodigy, Duan Ling Tian, is the same lucky person from the Lower Province who obtained the Devilseal Tablet!”

“Make copies of this portrait and distribute it to all Black Kshetra Sect’s members who are currently in Sin City. Anyone with any information must report to me immediately! This person is a master of disguise. Even if someone only has the same body size, report it to me as well,” Xie Kang Xun ordered calmly as he looked at Chu Tan Sheng.

“Yes,” Chu Tan Sheng responded respectfully with a nod before he left to find the others to pass them the portraits. Although he had several questions in mind, he did not dare to ask Xie Kang Xun.

‘I’m afraid Sin City is going to be chaotic for a while,’ Chu Tan Sheng thought to himself as he left.

Based on the conversation Chu Tan Sheng had with the Golden Lion King, one of the Four Great Karmapas in the Black Kshetra Sect, he knew that everyone who shared similar body size to the man in the portrait would not be able to escape death once they were found!
