Chapter 3737: I Refuse Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The four Supreme Elders of the Hidden Fog Sect, Supreme Elder Feng; Supreme Elder Lei; Supreme Elder Yun; and Elder Wu, were the four strongest powerhouses in the Hidden Fog Sect. Under normal circumstances, they rarely made an appearance. Hence, for some of the inner elders, core disciples, and inner disciples, it was their first time seeing the two supreme elders. ‘They… They should let Duan Ling Tian go due to his extraordinary background, right?’ Tang Chun thought to himself as he shuddered inwardly. The two old men were supreme like their titles suggested in the Hidden Fog Sect. If they wanted to kill someone in the sect, no one could stop them. Perhaps, if they wanted to kill someone like Duan Ling Tian who had an extraordinary identity, all they had to do was be a little more discreet. “Are you Duan Ling Tian?” the skinny green-clad old man asked. He was Supreme Elder Feng. His eyes were burning, but his voice was calm as he asked, “Why did you kill my disciple, Shangguan Xiong Feng?” As Supreme Elder Feng spoke, a terrifying aura swept out from his body. Duan Ling Tian felt the immense pressure, but he managed to hold his ground. He said fearlessly, “I had no interaction with Shangguan Xiong Feng previously. However, he stopped for me for no reason in the past and robbed me of my two Auspicious Pills. When I brought this matter up today, he got angry and wanted to kill me. I acted out of self-defense. I didn’t expect him to be so useless that he couldn’t even withstand one strike from me.” Tang Chun’s expression changed drastically upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s reply. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would dare to speak so boldly to Supreme Elder Feng. In just an instant, everyone present on the scene could feel the temperature plummeting in the core disciples’ cultivation ground. Supreme Elder Fengs’ robe fluttered in the wind as he coldly said, “What evidence do you have that my disciple robbed you of your Auspicious Pills?” “Isn’t it enough if I swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath?” Duan Ling Tian retorted as his lips curled up into a mocking smile. Devil Heart’s Blood Oath! Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s reply, everyone looked at Supreme Elder Feng furtively. Since Duan Ling Tian was willing to swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath, there was no doUbt he was telling the truth unless he had a death wish. The temperature continued to plummet as the wind began to pick up speed. Supreme Elder Feng’s eyes burned even brighter as his green robe flapped noisily in the wind. At this time, Supreme Elder Lei asked, “Then why did you kill my disciple, Long Xiao? I heard that he didn’t attack you, and you were the one who took the initiative to kill him!” The ear-piercing soundwave swept out, causing Duan Ling Tian to tremble involuntarily. Nonetheless, he still managed to hold his ground. If he was an ordinary rudimentary King of Gods, he would not have been able to hold his ground for so long. After all, he had the Divine Tree of Life that helped him temper his body, making him stronger than most people. He also had the Pine Willow Divine Tree and had managed to master the Godly Image Phenomenon. How could ordinary Kings of Gods compare to him? “Long Xiao?” Duan Ling Tian shifted his gaze to Supreme Elder Lei and said with a slight smile, “I guess you’re unaware of what happened. A few months ago, Long Xiao found me and threatened me to kneel and kowtow for ten miles to your cultivation ground to beg you to accept me as a disciple. I pretended to agree before I left the sect. When he heard that I was in King Descending City, he went there to search for me so he could kill me. He was in King Descending for a long time before he returned to the sect. As soon as I returned, he came to me, determined to kill me. Since he wanted to kill me, why should I let him go and give him another chance to kill me?” Then, before Supreme Elder Lei could respond, Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “I’m sure you know if I’m telling the truth, Supreme Elder Lei. However, if you don’t believe me, I’m willing to swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath as well.” Upon seeing how calm Duan Ling Tian was, Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei were rather perplexed. Even if he had a strong background, they could not understand how he could remain so calm under such circumstances. Nonetheless, if Duan Ling Tian were an ordinary disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect, they would have long killed him without even giving him a chance to speak regardless of his talent. They were only hesitating to take action now because of the force behind him. After Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei consulted with Qian Yin through Voice Transmission, Qian Yin straightened his back and said, “Duan Ling Tian, you killed Shangguan Xiong Feng out of self-defense so we can overlook that. However, despite Long Xiao saying he wanted to kill you, the fact is he didn’t take action. He might have been joking. You took the initiative to kill him because of his words; this is a violation of the Hidden Fog Sect’s rules. After discussing with the two supreme elders, we’ve decided to imprison you in Supreme Elder Feng’s Little World. Do you think this is fair?” Qian Yin and the two supreme elders considered the big picture and decided against killing Duan Ling Tian for now. If Duan Ling Tian truly came from a powerful force, Duan Ling Tian would certainly send a message to his elder to save him. At that time, they would release him. However, if no one came to save Duan Ling Tian, they would wait for a while before killing him to avenge Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao. “This...” The core disciples and the elders were stunned. They did not expect this outcome at all. They assumed Duan Ling Tian was going to be killed immediately. They did not expect he would only be imprisoned for killing Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao. ‘How is this possible?’ Wu Feng Yin, the second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect, wore an expression of disbelief on his face. He almost protested until he realized he was not qualified to speak in this situation. “Hm?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned by this decision as well. He thought the two supreme elders would kill him immediately. As soon as they made a move, the two Supreme Elders of the Linghu clan, Linghu Heng and Linghu Huan, would make a move and bring him away from the Hidden Fog Sect. Duan Ling Tian studied the Supreme Elder Feng and Supreme Elder Lei’s expressions for a moment, trying to figure out their thoughts. Then, he noticed the faint killing intent in their eyes. He grew even more perplexed. If they wanted to kill him, why did they not just do so? What was stopping them? Could they have sensed Linghu Heng and Linghu Huan? However, how could Linghu Heng and Linghu Huan be so bad at concealing themselves? Duan Ling Tian was still lost in his thoughts when he received Tang Chun’s Voice Transmission. “Duan Ling Tian. This is a test. The sect leader and the two supreme elders are trying to see if you’re going to ask for help from your elders. If the force behind you is strong enough to make them submit, they’ll naturally let you go. Otherwise, they’ll definitely kill you. It’s best if you contact your elders now.” “Elders? What elders? Elder Tang Chun, what do you mean?” Duan Ling Tian asked, puzzled. Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s reply, Tang Chun said, slightly annoyed, “Duan Ling Tian, there’s no need to pretend anymore. I’ve heard from someone from the Zhong clan that you have an unusual background. During the Zhou clan’s auction, you were with your sister whose personal guard was an extraordinary Lord of Gods. According to Vice Sect Leader who was present at that time, the personal guard’s strength wasn’t inferior to the four Supreme Elders. When I heard that Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao were going to kill you, I contacted Vice Sect Leader Murong so he could get the sect leader and the two supreme elders to stop Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao from killing you. However, I didn’t expect that not only did they fail to kill you, but they were killed by you instead.” Tang Chun had been so worried earlier. When he found that Duan Ling Tian had easily killed Shangguan Xiong Feng and Long Xiao earlier, he felt rather speechless. “I see.” Realization dawned on Duan Ling Tia after he listened to Tang Chun’s explanation. He finally understood why Qian Yin, Supreme Elder Feng, and Supreme Elder Lei did not kill him immediately. As it turned out, it was because of the young girl, Duan Qiao Yu, whom he met in Skywind City. Similar to the Zhong clan, the trio from the Hidden Fog Sect was also afraid of the force Duan Qian Yu was from. ‘If they knew that I only met Duan Qiao Yu by chance, they would’ve killed me without any hesitation,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself. When Qian Yin saw Duan Ling Tian ignoring him for such a long time, his expression soured as he asked again in a deep voice, “Duan Ling Tian, do you accept the punishment for violating the sect’s rules?” Duan Ling Tian shifted his eyes to Qian Yin and said tonelessly, “Sect Leader, from today onward, I’m no longer a disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect. Hence, I refuse to accept the punishment.” What a joke. How could he let himself be imprisoned in Supreme Elder Feng’s body? In truth, he did not come from a strong force so he had no one coming to save him. If he entered Supreme Elder Feng’s Little World, it would be difficult for Linghu Heng and Linghu Huan to save him. .
