“Duan Ling Tian’s really smart! He just called Senior Brother Yang Wen’s bluff, and it’s enough to scare Senior Brother Yang Wen... Don’t tell me Senior Brother Yang Wen really doesn’t dare to accept the Death Duel that Duan Ling Tian suggested?” The Saint Land disciples whispered among themselves as they looked at Yang Wen.

Based on their words, one could hear them mock Yang Wen and insinuating he was a coward!

“Calling my bluff?” Naturally, Yang Wen had also thought of this. However, he did not dare to simply agree to Duan Ling Tian’s suggestion.

He did not dare to take this risk. If he lost, then he would die!

“It seems like you don’t dare to accept this Death Duel...” Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly as he looked at Yang Wen, “So much for being a true disciple!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he soared up into the sky and was about to leave.

So much for being a true disciple!

Duan Ling Tian’s words that were filled with disdain had enraged Yang Wen, causing his expression to turn grave. He snorted coldly. “Duan Ling Tian, I agree with your suggestion! Do you really think that I, Yang Wen, will be fooled by you? How ridiculous!” Yang Wen quickly made up his mind.

If he did not agree to Duan Ling Tian’s suggestion, it would mean that he was afraid of Duan Ling Tian who had killed his younger brother.

If Duan Ling Tian was really stronger than him, it would be better for him to turn down Duan Ling Tian’s challenge. However, Duan Ling Tian was weaker than him, and he was just calling his bluff. It would be very embarrassing if he refused his challenge.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s disdainful words, after weighing the pros and cons, Yang Wen finally agreed to his suggestion.

Based on what he could see, Duan Ling Tian was just calling his bluff.

“You agree?” Duan Ling Tian was momentarily stunned when he heard his words. A hint of surprise could be seen on his face.

Due to the surprised expression on his face, a round of discussion began again among the Saint Land disciples.

“Did you see it? Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed! It’s as though he didn’t expect Senior Brother Yang Wen would agree to his suggestion!”

“Based on this, I’m certain he’s only trying to look mysterious. Fortunately, Senior Brother Yang Wen agreed to his suggestion. Otherwise, he would only bring shame to himself and the other true disciples!”

“That’s right! A true disciple that’s afraid to accept a Death Duel from an elite disciple. If news of this spread out, he would really bring shame to himself and the other true disciples!”

“Fortunately, Senior Brother Yang Wen finally agreed to Duan Ling Tian’s suggestion at the crucial moment! Duan Ling Tian has failed to call Senior Yang Wen’s bluff!”

The group of Saint Land disciples felt that Yang Wen had made the right decision. In their opinion, Duan Ling Tian was just calling Yang Wen’s bluff. He was probably trying to scare Yang Wen into retreating by suggesting a Death Duel. Since Yang Wen had agreed to it, his plans had, naturally, failed.

At this moment, would Duan Ling Tian still dare to insist on having a Death Duel?

“The fact that Senior Brother Yang Wen agreed to Duan Ling Tian’s suggestion means he has already investigated Duan Ling Tian. Look at the change in Duan Ling Tian’s expression. I’m certain he won’t dare to continue with the Death Duel!”

“If he continues, he’ll definitely die! At this moment, on the brink of life and death, I’m sure he would rather be tortured by Senior Brother Yang Wen rather than die!”

“His little trick has failed!”

The group of Saint Land disciples whispered among themselves. They all felt Duan Ling Tian would go against his words now that Yang Wen had agreed to it.

“Duan Ling Tian, I’ve agreed to your suggestions. Don’t tell me you’re going to go back on your words? Perhaps, you’d rather I torture you instead of going to the Palace of Death to sign the Death Pact and carry out the Death Duel?” A mocking smile appeared on Yang Wen’s face when he saw the surprised expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face. His words were filled with disdain.

At this moment, Yang Wen recalled his earlier hesitation. He was glad he agreed to Duan Ling Tian’s suggestion. Otherwise, he would be the one who was humiliated.

Faced with Yang Wen and the Saint Land disciples’ mocking gaze, Duan Ling Tian regained his composure. He said indifferently, “Lead the way!”

Lead the way!

When Duan Ling Tian said these three words, the entire place fell silent.

The group of Saint Land disciples looked at Duan Ling Tian with a dumbfounded expression. It did not cross their minds that Duan Ling Tian would agree to it. Was he not afraid he would not be able to back out later?

Yang Wen was stunned as well. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would agree to it as well.

Yang Wen’s determination faltered again as various expressions flitted across his face.

“Why? You don’t dare to do it? Didn’t you readily agree to it earlier?” Duan Ling Tian mocked Yang Wen with a smile when he saw the changing expressions on Yang Wen’s face.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, Yang Wen’s face turned green before it paled. He clenched his teeth angrily before he said, “Duan Ling Tian, I’d like to see if you’ll still be so arrogant when we sign the Death Pact!”

As soon as Yang Wen finished speaking, he did not wait for Duan Ling Tian’s reply as his body turned into a blur as he charged toward the Central Square. “Follow me to the Palace of Death if you dare to sign the Death Pact. We’ll have a Death Duel then. If you dare not, I’ll let you feel what it feels like to be better off dead!”

As he charged out, his voice resonated from afar. It was filled with a terrifyingly cold aura. It seemed to cause the temperature in the surroundings to drop by a few degrees.

After Yang Wen traveled a distance away, he slowed down before he turned around to look at Duan Ling Tian disdainfully. It was as though he wanted to make sure Duan Ling Tian really did follow him.

The Palace Of Death was situated in the middle of the Central Square in the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Island.

The Saint Island was also another name for the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land’s Main Island.

In the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land, Saint Land disciples with enmity could go to the Palace Of Death and sign a Death Pact that would be witnessed by the Palace Of Death’s elder.

Not only that, but they could also fight a life-or-death battle in the Death Arena!

Currently, Yang Wen was making his way to the Palace Of Death in the Saint Island’s Central Square. Naturally, that was only if Duan Ling Tian followed him there.

“It seems like Senior Brother is aware of Duan Ling Tian’s trick and is no longer fooled by him!”

“As the saying goes, ‘Once bitten twice shy’. If Senior Brother Yang Wen still doesn’t know, then him being a true disciple and a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse is just a waste!”

“That’s right! A true disciple who’s afraid of a Death Duel with an elite disciple? If news spread out, wouldn’t he become a laughingstock?”

Most of the Saint Land disciples gave Yang Wen a thumbs-up when they saw his compelling manner.

At the same time, these Saint Land disciples shifted their gaze to Duan Ling Tian again.

Their eyes contained a hint of mockery. They wanted to see if Duan Ling Tian dared to follow Yang Wen to the Palace Of Death at the Saint Island’s Central Square.

Once they went to the Palace Of Death and sign the Death Pact, none of them would be able to retreat!

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, don’t go!”

“Senior Brother Ling Tian, don’t go!”

Just as Duan Ling Tian was about to follow Yang Wen, two voices rang in his ears.

At once, Duan Ling Tian noticed the two Saint Land disciples who were standing at two different places. It was them who transmitted their voices to him, trying to stop him from following Yang Wen to the Palace Of Death on the Saint Island’s Central Square.

One of them was none other than Sun De whose Primus house was snatched by Duan Ling Tian in the Punishment Zone of the Four Symbols Sanctum’s First Mine.

Just like Duan Ling Tian, Sun De was from the Black Turtle Sanctum from the Four Symbols Sanctums.

The reason Sun De was able to leave the Four Symbols Sanctums’ First Mine and came to the Saint Land to become a Saint Land disciple was due to him successfully comprehending the Black Turtle Sanctum’s most treasured Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier.

The reason he succeeded in comprehending the Black Turtle’s Barrier was due to the pressure from Duan Ling Tian that day.

Due to this reason, he felt thankful toward Duan Ling Tian. When he saw Duan Ling Tian was about to jump into the fire pit, he quickly transmitted his voice to Duan Ling Tian.

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, the shepherd would rather lose the wool than the sheep! As long as you live, you’ll eventually get a chance to seek revenge! There’s no need to follow Yang Chong to the Palace Of Death just because of a moment of anger. If you really go to the Palace Of Death and sign the Death Pact, it would be too late even if you want to change your mind!” Sun De tried his best to persuade Duan Ling Tian.

The meaning of Sun De’s words was simple. As long as he stayed alive, he would be able to seek revenge in the future. It was not worth it for him to seek death!

“Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Sun De. I know what I’m doing!” Duan Ling Tian reassured Sun De before he looked at the other person who tried to stop him.

He had only seen the other person once. Due to this reason, he was shocked when he saw the person who tried to stop him.

This person was the Saint Land disciple whom he encountered ten days ago. At that time, he had just left the registry for new Saint Land disciples and did not know where the residence of the Saint Land’s disciples was. For this reason, he had stopped this person to ask for directions.

Apart from that time, he had no other interactions with this person.

It did not cross his mind this person would stop him at this moment.

“Senior Brother, why did you call me Senior Brother?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a wry smile through his Voice Transmission. He remembered he had addressed the other person as senior brother the last time they met. Moreover, the other person also addressed him as junior brother.

The Saint Land disciple who stopped Duan Ling Tian was none other than Guan Xiu who gave Duan Ling Tian directions ten days ago. He said in a slightly fearful voice, “Junior Brother Ling Tian, I, Guan Xiu, didn’t know your identity that day. I’m sorry for being ignorant!”

Duan Ling Tian was far stronger than him after all. It was fine if he did not know Duan Ling Tian’s identity. However, after learning about Duan Ling Tian’s identity, he did not dare to refer to himself as senior brother anymore.
