War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Di Shan who interrupted and stopped Di Jue ignored his questioning looks.

Di Shan’s eyes immediately shifted to Duan Ling Tian. “Young Mansion Master, are you certain you want to have a Death Duel with Di Jue? This isn’t a joke. Once Di Jue officially accepts your Death Duel invitation, it won’t stop until one of you dies! He won’t show you any mercy even if you’re the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion. Have you thought about this thoroughly?” Di Shan asked.

“What? Do you think I’m joking, Clan Leader Di Shan?” Duan Ling Tian asked nonchalantly with narrowed eyes when he heard Di Shan’s words.

“I just wanted to give you a reminder,” Di Shan replied.

“Thank you for your concern, Clan Leader Di Shan. However, I won’t go back on my words. For the five-year pact, let’s turn it into a Death Duel. If Di Jue and the dragon clan don’t dare to accept the challenge, please admit defeat as soon as possible! I’m waiting to enter your dragon clan’s Saint Land, the Dragon Cleansing Pool, to have a bath…” Duan Ling Tian sounded a little impatient when he reached the end of his sentence.

He wanted to enter the dragon clan’s Saint Land, the Dragon Cleansing Pool, to have a bath?

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, every member from the dragon clan who was present was infuriated that they felt like throwing up blood. Duan Ling Tian’s words clearly insulted their dragon clan’s Saint Land!

All the members of the dragon clan present instantly glared at Duan Ling Tian.

“Accept it!”

“Accept it! Let it be a Death Duel!”

They were ablazed with indignation, and many of them spoke up one after another, asking Di Jue to accept Duan Ling Tian’s Death Duel Invitation.

They could not endure this anger at all.

The people from the other quasi third-rate forces were dumbfounded as well. They did not expect the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion to be this arrogant. It was as though he did not take the dragon seriously at all.

The two Deputy Leaders of Mountainshade Black Market looked at each other while Leader Dugu’s gaze was filled with a little admiration.

“Tian’er…” Duan Ru Feng appeared calm when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. However, the truth was he was not calm at all.

Gu Li and Ku Mi felt the same way as well.

Truthfully speaking, they did not think Duan Ling Tian’s chances of winning was high. However, the situation had gone beyond their control.

“Clan Leader!” Di Jue looked at Di Shan. He could no longer tolerate Duan Ling Tian’s arrogance.

However, currently, the right to decide was not in his hands. Since the Clan Leader had intervened, he did not dare to accept the invitation no matter how furious he was until he obtained his Clan Leader’s permission.

“It seems like you’re very confident, Young Mansion Master.” Di Shan continued to ignore Di Jue. His gaze was still firmly trained on Duan Ling Tian.

As soon as Di Shan finished speaking, a powerful Divine Consciousness swept out at Duan Ling Tian like a torrential flood and shrouded him.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt as though he had been completely seen through!

“You probed my cultivation base?” When Duan Ling Tian discovered Di Shan had probed his cultivation base, not only was he not angry, but he seemed even happier instead.

There was no need to guess, he was certain Di Shan would no longer suspect he would be able to kill Di Jue after probing his cultivation base. After all, his cultivation base was only at the Eminent Saint Stage. It was not worth mentioning at all in front of Di Jue.

No matter how careful Di Shan was, it was impossible for him to think that an Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator would be a match for Di Jue.

“Di Shan, how dare you!” Duan Ru Feng was furious when Di Shan extended his Divine Consciousness to probe Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base. A much stronger Divine Consciousness surged out of his body and slammed violently against Di Shan’s Divine Consciousness.

Di Shan’s Divine Consciousness felt very powerful to Duan Ling Tian. However, in front of Duan Ru Feng’s Divine Consciousness, it was nothing at all. In just a moment, it was already shattered by Duan Ru Feng’s Divine Consciousness.

Di Shan turned dizzy when he suffered the attack on his Divine Consciousness. Colors instantly drained from his face. Although his soul suffered a certain amount of injury, he was not bothered by it at all. In fact, he even had a smile on his slightly pale face.

‘Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage! The Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion is only at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage!” All the doubts and hesitation in his heart vanished immediately.

How could an Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator possibly be a match for Di Jue?

Di Shan immediately felt he had been too cautious. However, he did not regret his actions at all.

As the saying went, ‘Caution is the parent of safety!’

As the Clan Leader of the dragon clan, he must consider every decision he made.

He had stopped Di Jue earlier because he was worried Duan Ling Tian was really capable of killing Di Jue!

Due to this reason, he risked the chance of having his Divine Consciousness being shattered by Duan Ru Feng to probe Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base. Only then could he make the best decision!

Di Shan finally made up his mind.

“Di Jue, his cultivation base is only at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage,” Di Shan instantly transmitted his voice to Di Jue and nodded at him as a sign of approval.

Naturally, Di Jue had seen Di Shan’s earlier action. He knew Di Shan was probing Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base with his Divine Consciousness in order to confirm the risk involved if he were to accept Duan Ling Tian’s Death Duel Invitation.

“Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage?” Di Jue was slightly stunned when he heard Di Shan’s words.

Although he had already heard from Elder Qing Yan that Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was at the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage at most and possibly lower, he was delighted when he got this confirmation from Di Shan!

A person at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage wanted to have a Death Duel with him? It was apparent Duan Ling Tian came here to seek death!

A surge of confidence rose in Di Jue’s heart. He instantly looked at Duan Ling Tian and announced in a slightly happy voice, “Duan Ling Tian, I accept your challenge. The dragon clan has also accepted the challenge!”

Upon hearing Di Jue’s answer, the member of the dragon clan broke out in an uproar immediately!

“Kill!”

“Kill him!”

Many young members of the dragon clan chanted loudly. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time. The suppressed emotions in their hearts had also vanished without a trace.

“Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage?” At the same time, the three dragon clan’s Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders who were present on the scene also relaxed when they learned of Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base from Di Shan.

“Is Duan Ling Tian a fool? His cultivation base is only at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage, but he actually dared to issue a Death Duel Invitation to Di Jue!”

“I think he’s just seeking death!”

Whether it was Qing Yan, Zhi Jing, or Xue Chan, all of them were certain Duan Ling Tian would definitely die today!

An Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse was going to fight an Early Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse!

There was no suspense in this battle at all.

“Di Jue, after you kill him, take his Spatial Ring! The Devilseal Tablet must be in his Spatial Ring. If you obtain the Devilseal Tablet and hand it over to the dragon clan in the Upper Province, it would be a great merit for both of us. In the future, when we leave for the Upper Province, we’ll have special privileges in the dragon clan!” Di Shan transmitted his voice to Di Jue. There was a hint of excitement in his voice when he spoke.

Di Jue’s heart sank upon hearing his words. Initially, he planned to keep the Devilseal Tablet after killing Duan Ling Tian. However, it seemed like it was not possible now.

‘Forget it! The Devilseal Tablet isn’t something that originally belongs to me anyway. Just like the Clan Leader said, once I obtain the Devilseal Tablet and hand it over to the dragon clan in the Upper Province, I’ll definitely receive special treatment when I go to the Upper Province in the future.’ The moment Di Jue thought of this, he was able to let go of his greed.

Whether it was him or Di Shan, although they were both Five-clawed Golden Dragons from the Imperial Clan of the dragon clan, it was only limited to the Lower Province.

In the dragon clan in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, a Five-clawed Golden Dragon was nothing. Their position was equal to an ordinary Six-clawed Divine Dragon.

In the dragon clan in the Upper Province, there were even Seven-clawed Divine Dragons, let alone a Six-clawed Divine Dragon!

With his birthright, he would be able to become the Clan Leader in the Lower Province’s dragon clan, but he would be nothing in the Upper Province’s dragon clan!

If he could present them with the Devilseal Tablet, things would be different.

In order to reward him, the powerhouses from the dragon clan in the Upper Province would definitely treat him well when he went there. In his opinion, this was something good!

“Don’t worry, Clan Leader. I’ll definitely get my hands on the Devilseal Tablet!” Di Jue transmitted his voice to Di Shan.

“I believe in you,” Di Shan responded. He was confident in Di Jue’s strength.

Moreover, Di Jue’s cultivation was already at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage, and his opponent’s cultivation base was only at the Intermediate Eminent Saint Stage. A whole Divine Saint Stage stood in the gap between their strength! Duan Ling Tian could not possible be a match for Di Jue!

When everyone from the other quasi third-rate forces heard Di Jue’s answer and shifted their attention to Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian said, “In that case, let’s sign a Death Pact!”

His expression and his voice were calm. At this moment, it seemed as though Duan Ling Tian would remain unaffected even if a mountain collapsed in front of him.

“Alright…” Di Jue began to say before he suddenly changed his tone and said, “Wait! There’s no need for that!” This was after he received a Voice Transmission from Di Shan.

Everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, looked at Di Jue.

“For the Death Duel between you and I, let’s swear on the lightning penalty oath that we’ll fight for our life by relying on our strength. Moreover, nobody is allowed to intervene in this matter. If anyone tries to intervene, the person who’s rescued will have to die!” Di Jue said every word clearly as he looked at Duan Ling Tian with a cold gaze.

Upon hearing his words, everyone could not help but gasp.

If they really swore on the lightning penalty oath, then this meant that even Mansion Master Duan Ru Feng would not be able to rescue his son at the critical moment?

Many people instantly turned to look at Duan Ru Feng just in time to see the slight change of expression on his face.

When Di Jue saw Duan Ru Feng’s slight change of expression, he smiled brilliantly. He could tell even Mansion Master Duan Ru Feng did not have much confidence in his son. Otherwise, his expression would not have changed when he heard Di Jue’s words!

Di Shan had also noticed Duan Ru Feng’s slight change of expression. Not only that, but he had also seen the horror on Gu Li and Ku Mi’s faces.
