Although the good-for-nothing rich kid was seething in anger inside even after he heard the middle-aged man’s Voice Transmission, he did not dare to act recklessly.

After all, as the saying went, ‘A wise man doesn’t fight when the odds are against him!’ The good-for-nothing rich kid knew this very well. Although he had an extraordinary background, he had no one by his side at the moment who could deal with the black-robed man after all. It was better for him to stay silent for now.

‘I’ll let you be arrogant for now. In the future, if you’re still in Sin City, I’ll definitely make sure that you’ll die!’ The good-for-nothing rich kid thought to himself as he lowered his head. His eyes were burning with anger.

The middle-aged man looked at the black-robed man and continued transmitting his voice. “Based on the direction the black-robed man was heading earlier, like us, he’s probably making his way to the treasure vault that’s said to have been left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. The leader and the deputy leaders should be there by now. When we meet them, you can ask the leader to kill the black-robed man!”

The good-for-nothing rich kid’s eyes lit up when he heard the middle-aged man’s words.

Yes!

Why did he not think of that?

Based on the direction the black-robed man was headed, he was obviously going toward the treasure vault that was left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Once he arrived at his destination, the good-for-nothing rich kid could ask his father to kill the black-robed man to avenge him and Shi Kun. There was no need for him to wait until he returned to Sin City!

When the good-for-nothing rich kid thought of this, he no longer felt upset. Instead, his eyes were gleaming cold killing intent.

Duan Ling Tian only scoffed when he saw the good-for-nothing rich kid and the middle-aged man had backed down. He no longer looked for trouble with them. He turned around and prepared to leave.

Duan Ling Tian had his own principles after all. Since the good-for-nothing rich kid and the other man had backed down, naturally, he would not attack them like he did the red-clad old man.

After all, these two men did not attack him at all. It seemed like they did not intend to kill him so it could be considered that they did not cross his bottom line.

As Duan Ling Tian was about to leave, a voice sounded from the distance.

“If you leave just like that, I don’t think you’ll be able to live to enter treasure vault that the powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage left behind, let alone getting your hands on the treasure inside!” The person who had spoken was a young man who came from the direction of Sin City.

The young man was dressed in a white robe. He was handsome and had an otherworldly appearance. The aura he radiated was noble. With his feathered fan and silk kerchief, he looked like a scholar.

An old man stood behind him. The old man was tall and had a strong build. He followed behind the scholar-looking man like a shadow, clearly guarding him.

Upon hearing that, Duan Ling Tian turned around to look at the young man who was dressed like a scholar and asked with a slight frown, “Why do you say that?”

At the same time, the young man who was dressed like a scholar had appeared next to Duan Ling Tian. He stopped and deliberately glanced at the good-for-nothing rich kid before he said with a smile, “I’m afraid you’re unaware of Young Master Ou’s identity.”

As soon as the young man who was dressed like a scholar finished speaking, the good-for-nothing rich kid’s expression changed dramatically. He glared at the young man who was dressed like a scholar and said, “Dong Guo Zhi, what do you think you’re doing?!”

The middle-aged man standing behind the good-for-nothing young kid said, “Young Master Dong Guo, please watch your words!” His expression had turned grim. If Dong Guo Zhi revealed his young master’s identity to the black-robed man, it was uncertain if he and his young master would be able to get out of here alive!

Unfortunately, Dong Guo Zhi completely ignored the good-for-nothing rich kid and the middle-aged man who were glaring at him. He opened his mouth and revealed the two men’s identities. “One of these two men is the Young Leader of Sin City’s Seven Kill Alliance. His name is Ou Qing. As for the other, he’s an elder from the Seven Kill Alliance, Elder Lu Jin, who’s ranked at the 295th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking. As for the old man you killed earlier, his name was Shi Kun, and he was also an elder of the Seven Kill Alliance. He was ranked at the 313th place on the Supreme Saint Ranking.”

Seven Kill Alliance!

Upon hearing Dong Guo Zhi’s words, Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes.

The Seven Kill Alliance was one of the strongest alliances in Sin City. The Leader of the Seven Kill Alliance, Ou Cang Hai, was a powerhouse at the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!

“The Young Leader of Seven Kill Alliance? Ou Qing?” Duan Ling Tian instantly shifted his attention to Ou Qing.

When Ou Qing saw Duan Ling Tian had shifted his attention to him, his expression turned grim.

“So, you’re the son of Leader Ou Cang Hai from the Seven Kill Alliance?” Duan Ling Tian asked coldly. A hint of wariness could be seen in his eyes.

How could Duan Ling Tian not feel wary? Ou Cang Hai was a powerhouse at the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! With his current strength, even if he used all his abilities without reservations, he was still no match for Ou Cang Hai! If Ou Cang Hai wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as stepping on an ant.

“That’s right! I’m Ou Cang Hai’s son, the Young Leader of Seven Kill Alliance!” Ou Qing said coldly in response to Duan Ling Tian’s question.

At the same time, he reached inside his robe and took out a Dao talisman. “This is a Minor Mirror Image Talisman that my father has given me. I will use this so my father will know you’re the one that killed me. You should know that if my father finds out that you killed me, he won’t let you go! You’ll surely die!” Ou Qing’s voice was cold when he spoke.

The Minor Mirror Image Talisman would be activated once it was torn into two.

If Ou Qing tore it, the Minor Mirror Image Talisman would record everything that happened here and transmit it to the person who held the Major Mirror Image Talisman.

As soon as Ou Qing finished speaking, Dong Guo Zhu raised a brow and stared at Lu Jin intently as he asked, “Lu Jin, is this what you told Young Master Ou to do?”

In Dong Guo Zhi’s opinion, a good-for-nothing rich kid like Ou Qing was not so clever! The source of thɪs content is ɴoᴠel ꜰɪre.nᴇt

Lu Qin completely ignored Dong Guo Zhi’s question.

“Even if you remain silent, I know that with Young Master Ou’s level of intelligence, he would never be able to think of such a method to threaten Sir Black-robed!” Dong Guo Zhi continued to say even though Lu Jin had ignored him. It was as though he was trying to fan the fire.

‘This Dong Guo Zhi isn’t simple. It seems like he’s helping me, but it’s obvious he’s trying to use me to kill Ou Qing!’ Duan Ling Tian was not stupid. He could see through Dong Guo Zhi’s intention.

‘Dong Guo Zhi... Apart from the Seven Kill Alliance, there are two other strong alliances in Sin City. The Eternal Alliance and the Thousand Years Alliance.’ Duan Ling Tian began to recall the information he learned about the three strongest alliances in Sin City.

‘The leader of the Thousand Years Alliance seems to be Dong Guo Yi. It’s highly likely that Dong Guo Zhi is from the Thousand Years Alliance. Moreover, he must have a high position. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be guarded by such a strong powerhouse.’

Once Dong Guo Zhi stopped moving, the old man following him had stopped moving as well. His eyes were closed, and it seemed as though he was resting. From the beginning until the end, he only remained silent.

Nevertheless, Duan Ling Tian could sense the dangerous aura that the old man emitted. At the very least, he was a lot more dangerous than Lu Jin who was ranked in the top 300 on the Supreme Saint Ranking.

“Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!” Elder Huo answered immediately when Duan Ling Tian asked him about the old man standing behind Dong Guo Zhi.

Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian concluded that Dong Guo Zhi’s position in the Thousand Years Alliance should be quite high. In fact, it was very likely that he was the son of Dong Guo Yi, the Leader of the Thousand Years Alliance!

After Duan Ling Tian glanced at Dong Guo Zhi, he turned to look at Ou Qing and asked coldly, “Does it mean that if I don’t kill you now, your father will let me off the hook?”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s question, Ou Qing hesitated for a bit before he hurriedly answered after Lu Jin gave him a nudge, “Of course! So long as you let me go, I’m willing to swear on the lightning penalty oath that I won’t tell my father about what happened today. If my father doesn’t know about this, there’s no reason for him to look for trouble with you.”

As soon as Ou Qing finished speaking, he quickly pricked his finger and swore on the lightning penalty oath before Duan Ling Tian even had a chance to respond.

As nine claps of thunder rang in the air in response to Ou Qing’s oath, Dong Guo Zhi laughed out loud.

“Dong Guo Zhi, what are you laughing about?” Ou Qing became slightly angry due to the embarrassment he felt.

“Nothing much. Just laughing at how your plan is going to fail. You only swore that you won’t tell your father about what happened today. However, you can always tell the deputy leaders or other people from the Seven Kill Alliance, right? If they tell your father about this, wouldn’t he still look for trouble with Sir Black-Robed?” After Dong Guo Zhi stopped laughing, he said indifferently, “It seems like you’re not sincere even when you swore on the lightning penalty oath.”

Ou Qing did not think Dong Guo Zhi would openly reveal his plan. He was instantly angered due to the embarrassment he felt! However, when he sensed Duan Ling Tian’s gaze seemed to have turned colder, he quickly swore on another lightning penalty oath that he would not tell anyone about what happened today.

Even Lu Jin who was standing behind Ou Qing followed suit and swore the same oath.

Upon seeing Ou Qing and Lu Jin’s quick actions, Dong Guo Zhi could not help but frown. However, the frown disappeared very quickly. He turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and asked with a smile, “Sir Black-Robed, do you feel relieved after they swore on the lightning penalty oath?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded calmly before he said, “You and the one behind you should also swear the same oath!”

Dong Guo Zhi was shocked when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would ask him to swear on the lightning penalty oath.

As for the old man standing behind Dong Guo Zhi, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Duan Ling Tian as soon as he finished speaking. It was obvious that it was a warning to Duan Ling Tian.
