As for accommodations in Sin City, it was safer to stay in an estate of an alliance or an inn owned by an alliance. Naturally, among the two, it was much safer to stay in an inn.

There were, naturally, differences in strength between the alliances in Sin City. One’s safety could not be guaranteed if one was to stay in an alliance’s estate. However, it was different if one was to stay in an inn.

Although there was a number of inns in Sin City, there were not many of them. Not every alliance could afford to open an inn. Even if third-tier alliances such as the Ground Ax Alliance and the Black Crow Alliance opened an inn, not many people would dare to stay in their inns since their safety was not guaranteed. After all, leaders from third-tier alliances would mostly have a cultivation base at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage at most. The deputy leaders and members were, naturally, even weaker. If alliances like that opened an inn, only the leaders would be able to deter others from seeking trouble. However, it was clearly not practical for the leaders to stay at the inn at all times.

On the other hand, alliances like the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance were not alliances like the Ground Ax Alliance and Black Crow Alliance could compete with. The Mighty Tyrannical Alliance was famous in Sin City. Moreover, the Leader of the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance was a powerhouse at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! Even the powerhouses tasked with guarding Welcome Inn was at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

For this reason, Yao Bu Ji, the Leader of the Ground Ax Alliance, would not gain any advantage even if he decided to barge into Welcome Inn. He might even offend the Leader of the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance.

“It seems like I can only wait until he leaves Welcome Inn. Once he leaves the inn, he would no longer be under the protection of the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance!” Yao Bu Ji’s only option was to wait for Duan Ling Tian to leave. “I don’t believe you’ll stay in Welcome Inn forever!” Yao Bu Ji’s eyes glinted coldly when he spoke.

Since Yao Bu Ji had decided on his plan, there were many people loitering around Welcome Inn. There would be a change of people every once in a while as though they were on s.h.i.+fts. These men were obviously sent by Yao Bu Ji to monitor Duan Ling Tian. Once Duan Ling Tian left Welcome Inn, they would follow him and a few others would return to the Ground Ax Estate to notify the others.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was unaware that he had been targeted by the Ground Ax Alliance.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian was looking at the rewards he had reaped after he entered his room. He took out three Spatial Rings that formerly belonged to the two men from the Ground Ax Alliance and the man from the Black Crow Alliance respectively.

Upon seeing the number of Saint Stones in the Spatial Rings, a satisfied smile appeared on Duan Ling Tian’s face. “Hmmm… It’s pretty decent although there’s nothing extraordinary. Sin City is really the perfect place for me to improve my Innate Spiritual Root!”

In Sin City, there was nothing wrong with killing people just because of a disagreement. Wicked people accounted for more than half of the population in Sin City. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian did not feel guilty about devouring their Innate Spiritual Roots and robbing them.

Soon after, Duan Ling Tian discovered another Spatial Ring in a Spatial Ring that belonged to one of the men from Ground Ax Alliance. He quickly recalled where he had seen the Spatial Ring before. “This Spatial Ring seems to belong to the old man who was killed by the members of the Ground Ax Alliance!”

It was obvious the two men from the Ground Ax Alliance were after the old man’s Spatial Ring.

‘Could there be something precious in it?’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up when he thought about this. He quickly established Blood Owners.h.i.+p Claim on the ring. A hint of excitement could be seen in his eyes. He quickly looked over the things in the Spatial Ring before his eyes landed on a sword. The sword appeared ordinary, but there was something special about its vibe that attracted Duan Ling Tian’s attention.

As a Saint Inscription Master who practiced the Strange Inscription Dao, Duan Ling Tian possessed a very keen sense when it came to Saint Inscriptions.

After Duan Ling Tian briefly studied the sword, he came to a conclusion. “It’s a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword! The two men from the Ground Ax Alliance had to be going after this Thousand Inscription Saint Sword.” Duan Ling Tian became even more certain of his theory after he thoroughly looked through the old man’s Spatial Ring and failed to find anything of value.

‘However, based on the old man’s strength, I wonder how he obtained the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword. Moreover, how did the two men from the Ground Ax Alliance knew the old man possessed a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword?” Duan Ling Tian was confused about this matter.

Duan Ling Tian was no longer a newcomer in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. He had learned a lot during his time in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect.

The Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapons were one of the things he learned about. A Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon was considered a top-tier treasure even in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. In the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon cost about 100,000,000 Contribution Points.

In the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, apart from the high-ranking officials at the rank of a Golden Flame Elder or above who possessed Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapons, there were only a few Silver Flame Elders who possessed a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon. This showed how precious a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon was!

How did a precious Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapon end up in the possession of an old man whose cultivation base was only at the Quintessential Saint Stage old man before it was forcefully taken away by the two men from the Ground Ax Alliance who were also at the Quintessential Saint Stage?

If those two men from the Ground Ax Alliance did not look for trouble with Duan Ling Tian, he would not have obtained this Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword.

‘I guess I have those two men to thank for taking the initiative to provoke me,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself and laughed. That was probably what people meant when they said life was like a box of chocolates. One would not know what one would get.

Duan Ling Tian no longer paid attention to how the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword ended up in the possession of the old man who was only at the Quintessential Saint Stage. After all, the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword was currently in his possession. That was all that mattered.

‘With this Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword, I no longer have to use the Hundred Inscriptions Saint Sword. In the future, I can use the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword during a fight. I’ll avoid using the Jasper Celestial Sword if possible,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a satisfied smile on his face.

‘Although it’s only a Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword, it would still attract unwanted attention. The most important thing is to get stronger. As long as I’m strong enough to wield the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Sword, no one would dare to covet it,’ Duan Ling Tian thought.

Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian entered the fourth floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da with just a thought and began to cultivate.

Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique!

As he cultivated using that method, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy surged into Duan Ling Tian’s body freely. At this time, he could clearly feel that his cultivation speed had improved by leaps and bounds.

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised since he had antic.i.p.ated this. After all, his current Innate Spiritual Root was different from before. He was only a step away from possessing an indigo Innate Spiritual Root!

‘With my current cultivation speed, I’ll definitely be able to break through to the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage in within two months!’ Once he had broken through to the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, his strength would improve significantly as well.

Time continued to pa.s.s as Duan Ling Tian immersed himself in his cultivation. His strength kept increasing. In the beginning, the improvements were not noticeable. Gradually, the improvements became more and more obvious.

…

In the Western Region. In the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect…

“NO!” A hysterical voice tinged with desperation could be heard from one of the floating islands in the Saint Land.

The howl sounded like it came from a beast, shocking the people nearby.

“It’s Senior Brother Bu Hong!” The people hovering near the floating island were Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s true disciples. All of them looked at the floating island in shock since they knew the master of that floating island. It belonged to Bu Hong who was ranked third on the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s True Ranking!

Although Bu Hong was defeated a while ago by Duan Ling Tian, the new prodigy who had quickly risen in ranks, it did not mean that Bu Hong was weak. To the other true disciples, Bu Hong was still superior to them.

When they heard Bu Hong’s hysterical scream, they were shocked.

“What’s wrong with Senior Brother Bu Hong?”

“I don’t know. Ever since he was defeated by Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian, he hasn’t left his residence. I suspect something must have happened today.”

“Based on his voice, it seems like he has suffered a blow. Could it be that he still can’t accept that he was defeated by Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian?”

“That’s possible.”

The few true disciples discussed among themselves and reached a conclusion that they all agreed on. All of them thought Bu Hong could not accept his defeat by Duan Ling Tian.

However, were they right in their speculations?
