“You’re still the same as before.” Duan Ling Tian’s words sounded like words old friends would say when meeting after a long time.

Gan Ru Yan seemed to be the same as Chi Mei from before. She was still as arrogant and unapproachable.

“Who are you? Do you know me?” Gan Ru Yan could not help but furrow her brows when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. She studied Duan Ling Tian from top to bottom, but she concluded that she had never seen this young man before.

“Chi Mei, it’s been a long time,” Duan Ling Tian said, using the alias Gan Ru Yan had used when she was in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. She had also used this pseudonym in the Mountainshade Black Market as an assassin.

Chi Mei!

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s way of addressing her, Gan Ru Yan could not help but widen her eyes in shock. She had a baffled expression on her face.

At the same time, she began to recall the days she lived in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. She was trying to recall who knew about her identity. However, no matter how much she thought about it, apart from the lass by her side, her sister, and the few people related to her sister in the Lower Province, no one else in the Lower Province knew she was Gan Ru Yan.

In the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, nobody, including the Fire Worship Sect, knew she used the alias Chi Mei in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Even her master, the Fire Worship Sect’s Guardian, Qing Huo, did not know about the alias she used in the Lower Province.

“Who are you?!” Gan Ru Yan really could not figure out who knew she was Chi Mei. She began to feel wary and glared at Duan Ling Tian solemnly as though he was her enemy.

“Who am I?” The indifferent expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face was replaced with a cold smirk. “I’m that person who lost my wife and child because of you. Gan Ru Yan, it has only been a few years, but you’ve already forgotten about me?”

“Have you mistaken me for someone else?” Gan Ru Yan asked with a frown when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

“Mistake you for someone else? How can you say that, Gan Ru Yan?” The smirk on Duan Ling Tian’s face widened.

As Duan Ling Tian smirked, the disguise on his face that Gan Ru Yan could not recognize began to disappear as well.

After a while, the originally handsome face was gone and was replaced by another handsome face. He had a pair of dashing eyebrows, brilliant eyes, a tall nose, and perfect lips. His appearance was one that would garner praise from people. What a handsome and dashing young man!

“I-It’s you!” Gan Ru Yan might not recognize the face of the man earlier, but she would never forget this face in her whole life.

This was because this man was someone she hated very much. If it was not for this man, her sister would not have violated the rules of the Fire Worship Sect and be put in a life-or-death situation. When her sister was brought away, she even felt a little regretful she did not kill this man who caused the predicament her sister was in.

At this moment, Gan Ru Yan felt as though she had seen a ghost when she saw this man in this place.

Why was he here?

How did he come in?

Was the Prison Hall in the Enforcement Hall not heavily guarded?

At this moment, her heart was filled with all sorts of questions.

“Why? It seems like you finally recognized me.” When Duan Ling Tian saw the astonishment on Gan Ru Yan’s face after she saw his true appearance, he smirked again.

Gan Ru Yan mustered all the effort she had to remain calm. After a while, she looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked in a low voice, “How did you come in here?”

“Naturally, I have my own way,” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently as the smirk on his face disappeared.

“Do you know how much I want to kill you? Are you seeking death by coming here?” Gan Ru Yan asked in a deep voice.

“You want to kill very much?” Duan Ling Tian felt as though he had heard a funny joke when he heard her words. His eyes turned cold, and he said coldly, “Gan Ru Yan, I should be the one who says this to you. Don’t tell me up until now, you think it’s the right choice to bring Ke’er back to the Fire Worship Sect? If you didn’t bring her back here, would she be in such a predicament? You should count yourself lucky that you’re not the one who handed her over to the Saint Land’s Enforcement Hall. Otherwise, I won’t spare your life!” Duan Ling Tian’s voice turned even colder when he reached the end of his sentence.

“You’ll spare my life?” Gan Ru Yan was momentarily stunned when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words before she smiled disdainfully, “Just you alone, you think you can kill me?”

No matter what, Gan Ru Yan was still a powerhouse ranked seventh on the Fire Worship Sect’s True Ranking. She was also one of the Seven Great Prodigies in the Fire Worship Sect. Despite her young age, she had already made it on the Supreme Saint Ranking.

In fact, only 1,000 of the strongest powerhouses in the Dao Martial Saint Land were qualified to be ranked on the Supreme Saint Ranking!

Today, the young man whom she regarded as an ant had appeared in front of her. Although she did not know how he managed to come here, she still found it ridiculous!

It had only been a few years, his strength could not have improved that much, right?

“That’s right! Just me alone is enough!” Duan Ling Tian answered determinedly faced with Gan Ru Yan’s disdain.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sun Saint Energy that had long been accumulating in body swept out as he cast the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, immediately. He completely absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the surroundings, raising his Sun Saint Energy to its limit.

Whoosh!

At the same time, the sound of a sword slashing sounded quickly before it disappeared.

Snap!

Before Gan Ru Yan could react, the band that held her hair up had snapped.

Her hair fell down, giving her an unkempt appearance.

Duan Ling Tian had quickly put away the Jasper Celestial Sword before Gan Ru Yan noticed it and asked her indifferently, “What do you think now?”

Currently, he had depleted 70% to 80% of his Sun Saint Energy. He no longer had any energy to carry on.

If Gan Ru Yan decided to attack now, he would not have any energy to fight back.

Naturally, since Duan Ling Tian dared to spend so much energy, he was confident Gan Ru Yan would not attack him.

In fact, if he wanted to kill Gan Ru Yan, he could have easily done so with that slash of sword earlier.

Duan Ling Tian believed Gan Ru Yan knew this very well.

Indeed. Gan Ru Yan knew it very well.

“How’s this possible?!” As soon as Duan Ling Tian cut her hair bad, a sense of fear rose in her heart immediately. She was very close to death earlier.

If Duan Ling Tian did not aim his sword at her hairband but at one of her vital points, she would have died!

“How did he become so strong?!” Gan Ru Yan gasped as a hint of bafflement appeared in her eyes.

She felt the current Duan Ling Tian was like a different person from the Duan Ling Tian she had met before.

The former Duan Ling Tian could not even withstand a blow from her. She had only needed to move her fingers to suppress him.

However, currently, Duan Ling Tian’s strength had already surpassed her.

This could be seen from how she could not even catch a trace of his sword from the beginning until the end.

Even when she had a friendly match with the true disciple who was ranked first on the True Ranking previously, she did not feel suffocated or despair.

At this moment, she felt her life was no longer in her own hands.

Terrifying!

It was just too terrifying!

“Who are you?!” Due to the changes in Duan Ling Tian, Gan Ru Yan began to doubt Duan Ling Tian’s identity again.

She could not relate this young man before her who could kill with just a strike of the sword with the useless man who brought disaster to her sister.

“Why? Do you think it’s impossible for my strength to surpass yours in just a few years?” Duan Ling Tian smirked.

It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to figure out the thoughts running through Gan Ru Yan’s mind.

In fact, currently, even he felt like he was dreaming, let alone Gan Ru Yan.

That time, by using Chi Mei’s identity, Gan Ru Yan had forcefully taken Ke’er away.

At that time, Gan Ru Yan was so strong that it made him feel oppressed. He had no choice but to watch as Ke’er was taken away.

He would never forget that scene. At that time, he had felt so helpless before Gan Ru Yan.

After several years, now that they had met again, he could kill her if he wanted to with the help of the Jasper Celestial Sword!

It was a surreal feeling, but he felt delighted at the same time.

The difference between the latter and the former incident was too huge.

“You can’t be him! Even if he’s given several dozens or hundreds of years, he wouldn’t be so strong, let alone just a few years! Tell me, who are you? What relationship do you have with him? Why are you impersonating him? Do you plan to avenge him and humiliate me?” Gan Ru Yan’s expression turned even graver. She refused to believe Duan Ling Tian was the person she encountered previously.

“It doesn’t matter to me if you believe me or not. I came today not to see you but to see Ke’er and our daughter!” Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly. He did not bother to conceal his intention of coming to the Enforcement Hall and revealed it all to Gan Ru Yan. He wanted to see Ke’er and their daughter.

Due to Duan Ling Tian’s words, Gan Ru Yan furrowed her brows again. She asked in an uncertain tone, “Y-You’re really Duan Ling Tian?”
