The person who opened the door and walked out of the Secundus house was a middle-aged man with a huge-built. There was a fierce look in his eyes. With just a look, one could tell this person did not have a good temper.

“It’s Senior Brother Zhang Ji!”

“Senior Brother Zhang Ji is an elite powerhouse among all Early Quintessential Saint Stage Devil Cultivators. Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian won’t challenge him for the owners.h.i.+p of his Secundus house, right?”

“I don’t think so.”

As the middle-aged man walked out, before Duan Ling Tian could open his mouth to issue a challenge, he had already heard the discussion of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples

“Early Quintessential Saint Stage?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened immediately when he heard the words of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples.

Initially, he had been worried he would encounter an Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage disciple. It seemed like he was worried for nothing.

He had waited for a while. Who knew the first Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple who walked out of a Secundus house was actually an Early Quintessential Saint Stage Devil Cultivator!

At this moment, the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples finally realized Duan Ling Tian really intend to challenge the man for the owners.h.i.+p of the Secundus house, and they began to rise up into the air and surround him.

Since Duan Ling Tian had heard the other disciples’ words, it was only natural that Zhang Ji had heard them as well.

“Trying to s.n.a.t.c.h my Secundus house?” Zhang Ji’s expression turned grave immediately, and his eyes turned cold when he heard the disciples’ discussion.

He then s.h.i.+fted his attention to Duan Ling Tian who was staring at him before he asked coldly, “You’re Duan Ling Tian? You want to challenge me for my house?”

Since Zhang Ji had been in closed-door cultivation for the past few months, he did know Duan Ling Tian was famous in the Black Turtle Sanctum.

Before Duan Ling Tian had a chance to reply, hearty laughter rang in the air.

“Zhang Ji, don’t tell me you’ve never heard of Junior Brother Duan Ling Tian?” Another person walked out of a Secundus house nearby. It was this young man who had laughed. As soon as he walked out, he looked at Zhang Ji as though he was looking at a monster.

“It’s Senior Brother Jiang Chu!”

“I heard Senior Brother Jiang Chu is not on good terms with Senior Brother Zhang Ji. It seems like the rumors are true!”

“Don’t tell me Senior Brother Jiang Chu came out just to insult Senior Brother Zhang Ji?”

“I heard that Senior Brother Jiang Chu is a lot stronger than Senior Brother Zhang Ji. He already has one foot in the Intermediate Quintessential Saint Stage!”.

When the young man walked out, the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples began to discuss among themselves, revealing his name and cultivation base.

Jiang Chu was a handsome young man with a complexion as clear as jade. His long hair was tied up with a hairband behind his head.

He had a pair of long and narrow slanted eyes. Not only did he look handsome and das.h.i.+ng, but he looked seductive as well.

At this moment, he was looking at Zhang Ji with a mocking expression on his face.

Zhang Ji, on the other hand, was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and a huge built. He looked like a paG.o.da as he stood there.

Upon hearing Jiang Chu’s mocking laughter, Zhang Ji glared at him in hostility. “Hurmph! So what if I’ve never heard of Duan Ling Tian, Jiang Chu? No matter who he is, he’ll have to pay with his blood for coveting my house!”

When he finished speaking, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian with a terrifying look in his eyes.

“Boy, if you’re sensible, you better don’t even think about staying in my place. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up so badly that even your parents would have a hard time recognizing you!” Zhang Ji said. He was rude as soon as he spoke, directly threatening Duan Ling Tian.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chu no longer said anything and only looked at Duan Ling Tian curiously.

When Duan Ling Tian had just entered the Black Turtle Sanctum, Jiang Chu had already heard of him.

Ten days ago, he had also witnessed the battle between Duan Ling Tian and Gu Long. He was truly amazed by the strength Duan Ling Tian had demonstrated.

At that time, he discovered that although Duan Ling Tian was strong, his cultivation base was at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage at the most. He had not reached the Quintessential Saint Stage yet.

After ten days, something shocking happened. Duan Ling Tian wanted to challenge someone for the owners.h.i.+p of a Secundus house.

“It seems like Junior Brother Duan Ling Tian must have made some progress during these ten days. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to claim a Secundus house. I wonder how strong he is now. How exciting…” Jiang Chu muttered to himself as he looked Duan Ling Tian antic.i.p.atorily.

Although he did not have any interactions with Duan Ling Tian, he could tell Duan Ling Tian was not someone reckless. Since he dared to come over here to claim a Secundus house, he must be confident he would succeed.

“You’re going to beat me up so badly that even my parents would have a hard time recognizing me?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he heard Zhang Ji’s words. In the end, he smiled mockingly as he asked, “Are you so confident in your strength?”

When Zhang Ji saw the mocking smile on Duan Ling Tian’s face, his expression turned grim as he said, “I don’t like the way you smile. I’ve changed my mind. Unless you crawl between my legs and kowtow to me three times, I won’t let you go even if you decide not to challenge me. I won’t kill or maim you, but I’m going to let you experience the greatest pain that you’re going to wish you’re dead!”

When he reached the end of his sentence, his eyes glinted coldly. Zhang Ji was someone with a bad temper. He was already furious when Jiang Chu mocked him earlier. When he saw even Duan Ling Tian was sneering at him, it completely infuriated him.

Moreover, with so many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples watching, he naturally would not back down to protect his pride.

“Zhang Ji, you’ve crossed the line!” Jiang Chu frowned. He thought Zhang Ji had gone overboard.

“Jiang Chu, stop meddling in this matter! I don’t wish to fight you today!” Zhang Ji’s expression turned even grimmer when he heard Jiang Chu’s words. He glanced at Jiang Chu coldly before he s.h.i.+fted his attention back to Duan Ling Tian.

“You…” Jiang Chu’s expression turned grave as his robes began to flutter. It seemed as though he was preparing to make his move.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian said in an attempt to stop him, “Senior Brother Jiang Chu, thank you for your kindness. I know that you and Zhang Ji are not on good terms, but I can deal with this.”

When Jiang Chu saw how calm Duan Ling Tian was, he began to calm down as well. In the end, he nodded in a.s.sent. “Okay! I’ll do this for your sake!”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Ji with a piercing gaze.

“You’re Zhang Ji, right?” Duan Ling Tian s.h.i.+fted his attention from Jiang Chu to Zhang Ji. He was still calm but his exterior had turned icy. “If I want to challenge you for the owners.h.i.+p of the house, it’s within the Black Turtle Sanctum’s rules. There’s no reason for you to maliciously provoke and humiliate me. You can’t kill me so you plan to make me wish that I’m better of dead?” Duan Ling Tian’s voice was extremely cold that it felt as though the temperature in the surroundings had dropped by several degrees.

Zhang Ji had suppressed his anger when he saw how Duan Ling Tian and his rival, Jiang Chu, was getting along. Now that he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he could no longer suppress his anger. “I don’t care if we have to abide by the rules in the Black Turtle Sanctum or not! I want to humiliate you, so what can you do about it? Since you dare to challenge me, then you should be prepared to be humiliated. How many people in the Black Turtle Sanctum don’t know about my temper? I’ll give you one last chance. Crawl in between my legs and kowtow to me three times, and I’ll let this matter go! Otherwise, I won’t let you go even if you decide not to challenge me. I’ll slowly torture you until you wish you’re dead!” Zhang Ji’s eyes glinted with a terrifying light as he spoke.

If looks could kill, Duan Ling Tian would have died many times.

“Wow, you don’t care about the rules in the Black Turtle Sanctum? Zhang Ji, if you want me to wish that I’m better off dead, we’ll have to see if you have that ability or not!” Duan Ling Tian was also infuriated by Zhang Ji’s words. His eyes gleamed terrifyingly when he looked at Zhang Ji as though he was looking at a dead man.

“Based on your words, you’re going to challenge me then?” Zhang Ji was so furious he burst out laughing when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. “Good! Very good! How brave of you! I gave you an opportunity to crawl between my legs and beg for forgiveness. Don’t blame me for not showing you any mercy!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his robe began to flutter. His Saint Energy that belonged to an Early Quintessential Saint Stage Devil Cultivator began to surge out of his body terrifyingly.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian’s gaze turned colder as he began to mobilize his Sun Saint Energy through his 99 Saint Veins like a tempestuous storm.

“It has only been a short while but Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian and Senior Brother Zhang Ji’s dispute has escalated to this extent?” The Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples were shocked when they regained their senses.

They witnessed how Duan Ling Tian and Zhang Ji went from strangers to enemies in less than 20 breaths.

“Senior Brother Zhang Ji’s temper is still the same as before. I’m afraid Duan Ling Tian is going to suffer,” many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples remarked.

“Hurmph! On the contrary, I’m eager to see Senior Duan Ling Tian defeat Senior Zhang Ji. I’d like to see what kind of expression Senior Brother Zhang Ji would have at that time…” Some of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples said instead. As they were speaking, antic.i.p.ation could be seen on their faces.

“I think all of you are dreaming! Although Duan Ling Tian is quite strong, he has not reached the stage where he can compare to Senior Brother Zhang Ji! He’s destined to be defeated by Senior Brother Zhang Ji today!”

“That’s right! Duan Ling Tian’s just blinded by rage now. If he managed to stay calm, he wouldn’t have challenged Senior Brother Zhang Ji!”

Most of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples did not think that Duan Ling Tian was a match for Zhang Ji.
