“Supposedly, only quasi celestial-grade Dao Talisman Masters are able to inscribe Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talismans, but quasi celestial-grade Dao Talisman Masters are as rare as a phoenix in the Upper Province!” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as he studied the Dao Talisman that had mini flashes of violet lightning around it, “I’m afraid the Golden Lion King of the Black Kshetra Sect expended a lot of effort to obtain this Dao Talisman for his son, Xie Zong.”

After a while, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘It’s a pity Xie Zong was instantly killed by my sword before he could activate the Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman… The Golden Lion King must have been furious when he saw the scene through the Mirror Image Talisman.’

…

Meanwhile, somewhere in Sin City,

“Humph!” Xie Kang Xun, the Golden Lion King who was one of the Four Great Karmapas in the Black Kshetra Sect, scoffed with a dark expression on his face after Chu Tan Sheng, a Black Kshetra Sect elder, had left. “Duan Ling Tian obtained the Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman too easily!”

When Xie Kang Xun thought about the effort he had expended to obtain the Violet Myrtle Celestial Thunder Talisman and how it had fallen so easily into his enemy’s hands, he could not help but feel dissatisfied and frustrated. It felt as though he was suffocating.

“Duan Ling Tian, it doesn’t matter where you hide. I’ll find you and tear you into a million pieces to avenge my son!” Xie Kang Xun muttered to himself as killing intent surged from his body, causing pa.s.sersby on the street to instinctively avoid him.

…

During this period of time, many sectless cultivators were violently killed on the streets. All of them shared a common denominator. They all had similar body types. This was obviously because of Duan Ling Tian.

The person who had killed all those sectless cultivators was Xie Kang Xun, the Golden Lion King who was one of the Four Great Karmapas from the Black Kshetra Sect.

Although Xie Kang Xun had recently killed quite a number of people inside Sin City, none of the sectless powerhouses at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in Sin City made a move to stop him. This confused many sectless cultivators in Sin City.

“Another person just died a few days ago… The Golden Lion King from the Black Kshetra Sect is too outrageous!”

Many people shared the same sentiment. Conversations similar to this could heard in various restaurants in Sin City.

Prior to this, some of the sectless cultivators in Sin City had heard that the Golden Lion King, one of the Four Great Karmapas of the Black Kshetra Sect, had come to Sin City.

“I heard that the Golden Lion King is looking for the person who murdered his son, Xie Zong! He’s killing all those who share the same body type as the killer!”

“He’s killing people based on their body type? Is there something wrong with the Golden Lion King’s eyes? How can he only remember the figure of the killer but not his face?”

“I think it’s because the killer has mastered a brilliant disguising technique that can change his facial bone structure. Moreover, the disguise can’t be detected by Divine Consciousness.”

“If that’s the case, I can somehow understand why the Golden Lion King is acting this way. I’ve long heard that the Golden Lion King dotes on his son a lot since he only has one son in his old age!”

…

Currently, everyone knew that the son of the Golden Lion King, one of the Four Great Karmapas in the Black Kshetra Sect, had been killed, and the Golden Lion King had come to Sin City to seek revenge from the killer.

…

Above the Sin City, in the clouds…

The Golden Lion King, Xie Kang Xun, stood with his back straight and his hands clasped behind him. He looked as st.u.r.dy as a tower as he stood there. He, naturally, emitted a strong and suffocating pressure.

“Is it possible that he’s no longer in Sin City?” Xie Kang Xun muttered to himself in a low voice.

Xie Kang Xun had killed almost a hundred people in just a short time. All these people had the same body type as Duan Ling Tian, the person who killed his son.

‘The time I promised them is almost up…’ When Xie Kang Xun thought about this, his expression darkened immediately.

The ‘them’ he referred to were the sectless cultivators in Sin City who were at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or higher.

Previously, when Xie Kang Xun first arrived in Sin City, he paid a visit to the few sectless cultivators who were at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or higher. To gain permission from these powerhouses to kill sectless cultivators in Sin City, he had to pay a price.

Naturally, there was a time limit to how long he could go on a killing spree. Apart from that, Xie Kang Xun could not kill indiscriminately. He could only kill those who shared the same build as the person who killed his son.

Currently, the time limit Xie Kang Xun was given was almost at its end. Once the time was up, he could no longer kill as he pleased in Sin City.

“Duan Ling Tian, do you think you’ll be able to get away with this as long as you continue hiding?” Xie Kang Xun sneered as he narrowed his eyes. It was as though he had just thought of something.

…

That day, a piece of shocking news spread in Sin City.

“Hey, did you hear about it? It seems like the person who killed the Golden Lion King’s son, Xie Zong, is called Duan Ling Tian. He came from the Lower Province. Previously, Xie Zong had s.n.a.t.c.hed the Devilseal Tablet from him!”

“I’ve heard of him! He seems to be the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, a quasi third-rate force in the Lower Province. D-Did you say he killed Xie Zong? How’s that possible?!”

“That’s right! How’s that possible?! Since he’s from the Lower Province, it should be impossible for him to kill Xie Zong, right?”

“It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. I personally don’t believe it!”

…

News about Duan Ling Tian, the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province, killing Xie Zong spread like wildfire in Sin City. It caused a great commotion but most people did not believe Duan Ling Tian was capable of killing Xie Zong.

“What a joke! Although Duan Ling Tian can be considered as a prodigy in the Lower Province, he’s n.o.body in the Upper Province! You’re telling me in just one or two years he grew strong enough to kill Xie Zong? That’s impossible!”

“How fake! This news is obviously fake. I can tell straight from the get-go! What a load of bulls.h.i.+t!”

“If the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion from the Lower Province is capable of killing Xie Zong, I would be ranked first on the Supreme Saint Ranking!”

…

Half a day had pa.s.sed, and still, n.o.body believed a mere cultivator from the Lower Province like Duan Ling Tian was capable of killing Xie Zong.

…

However, it did not take long before another piece of shocking news spread in Sin City.

“Duan Ling Tian, the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province successfully joined the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. In less than two years since he arrived in the Upper Province, he became the second strongest prodigy in the sect?”

This news shocked the people in Sin City.

Duan Ling Tian, the second strongest prodigy in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, was a hot topic among the people in recent times. There was rarely anyone who did not know about him. However, n.o.body had made the connection between him and the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province. Everyone thought it was just a coincidence that they shared the same name.

“Duan Ling Tian, the second strongest prodigy in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, is the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion? I-Is this true?!”

“I’ve seen both portraits of the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province and the second strongest prodigy in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect… They aren’t the same person!”

“Don’t forget that it’s said that the person who killed Xie Zong has mastered a brilliant disguising technique. It’s not surprising if he doesn’t look the same. He could’ve disguised himself.”

“If the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion and the second strongest prodigy in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect are the same person, then he’s entirely capable of killing Xie Zong!”

“S-so i-it’s true? The Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion is the second strongest prodigy in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect? It’s not just a coincidence that they share the same name? He’s the person who killed Xie Zong?”

“I know it’s hard to believe, but it seems like that’s the truth.”

After listening to all the news, the sectless cultivators in Sin City managed to piece the puzzle together.

If the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province and the second strongest prodigy in the Fire Prodigy were the same person, everything made sense. With Duan Ling Tian’s strength, it should not be difficult for him to kill Xie Zong.

The people from Sin City were shaken by this news.

“I didn’t expect Duan Ling Tian, the second strongest prodigy in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, is the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion in the Lower Province. I’m afraid Xie Zong probably didn’t expect that as well!”

“That’s true. Someone who was like an ant before Xie Zong a couple of years ago whose Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet, had been taken away, did not only manage to come to the Upper Province, but he even successfully join the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. Moreover, he had risen in ranks so quickly that he’s currently the second strongest prodigy in the sect. He even managed to avenge himself and killed Xie Zong!”

“How did someone from the Lower Province manages to achieve so much in two years since he arrived in the Upper Province? How monstrous is Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent?”

“Is it… I-is it p-possible that he possesses the legendary violet Innate Spiritual Root?!”

In Sin City, regardless if it was the sectless cultivators who stayed there or people from the major forces who came to visit, all of them were shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s Martial Dao Innate Talent.

“Duan Ling Tian has successfully sought revenge from Xie Zong by killing him. I wonder if the Devilseal Tablet was in Xie Zong’s possession. If it was, then it has finally returned to its original owner!”

“I think it’s unlikely that Xie Zong carries the Devilseal Tablet with him. It’s a Super Saint Weapon on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking after all. It’s likely that he has handed it to his father, the Golden Lion King, after he brought the Devilseal Tablet back to the Black Kshetra Sect.”

“That’s what I think as well!”

Soon after, most people’s attention turned to the Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet.

After all, the enmity between Xie Zong, an elder from the Black Kshetra Sect, and Duan Ling Tian from the Lower Province stemmed from the Devilseal Tablet!
