“Why are they so foolish? It’s obvious that the kid from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect is only calling their bluffs. How could they be intimidated by that kid’s act?”

“It’s only natural that they would hesitate. After all, the best Celestial Method and Divine Ability from their sects are at stake.”

“Even so, that kid is clearly lying. Those two are sure to win the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Celestial Method and Divine Abilities if they only agree to that kid’s bet.”

“That kid’s talking nonsense. He’s not even 100 years old. How dare he use the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Abilities as stakes without asking for permission? Those are the treasures of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!”

“I really don’t know what the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect’s prominent Celestial Alchemist and the Vice Sect Leader of the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect are thinking. Why are they hesitating when someone’s handing a Duke Grade Celestial Method and two Duke Grade Divine Abilities on a platter to them!”

The crowd could not help but whisper among themselves. Most of the men in the crowd were against Duan Ling Tian even though he had no enmity with them. These men were hostile purely because they were jealous of Duan Ling Tian who had Huan’er’s affection. They wanted to see Duan Ling Tian being humiliated. However, how could they see such a sight if Tan Zheng Ye and Guan Qi Fei did not agree to the bet? As dissatisfied as they were, they did not dare to directly rebuke Tan Zheng Ye and Guan Qi Fei, they could only furtively whisper among themselves.

Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er who had crossed the threshold of the shop suddenly came to halt when a sharp voice rang in the air. “You dirty swine, stop right there!”

Everyone fell silent immediately. It was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop. Their eyes turned to the person who had spoken. It was none other than Guan Qi Fei, the prominent Celestial Alchemist from the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect!

With this, the eyes of the dissatisfied men lit up immediately.

“Things are getting heated!”

“It looks like we’re going to have a good show to watch!”

Meanwhile, after a beat, Duan Ling Tian ignored Guan Qi Fei and continued walking. However, he said, “Huan’er, I seem to hear a dog barking behind us… I wonder who the dog is barking at?” Although he was speaking to Huan’er, his words were clearly directed at Guan Qi Fei.

“Brat, you’re seeking death!” Guan Qi Fei finally lost control of his temper after listening to Duan Ling Tian’s words. Celestial Origin Energy began to roil as his eyes turned red. It seemed like he was about to attack Duan Ling Tian.

Soon enough, another angry voice resonated in the air. “I think you’re the one who’s seeking death!”

Boom!

“What—?!” Guan Qi Fei cried out before he screamed in pain.

He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, had only flicked his sleeves, but a vast and peerless force charged toward Guan Qi Fei like a thousand galloping horse before it sent him flying back.

Guan Qi Fei’s Celestial Origin Energy was suppressed, causing his body to tremble violently before he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“How dare you disrespect the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect? If it were someone else, I would’ve already killed them. You should be thankful you’re a Celestial Alchemist in the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect!” He Shan said coldly.

At this moment, the people who came with Guan Qi Fei cried out in unison. “Master Guan!” They hurried toward him in a panic. However, they obviously did not care about his injuries. This was because all of them hid behind him as soon as they approached him, clearly frightened by He Shan. These people were not members of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect. They were only mediocre and primitive Celestial Alchemists who had flattered Guan Qi Fei and followed him here to watch a show. Without Guan Qi Fei, they would not be able to stir up trouble for a top sect like the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. This was enough for them to brag for a lifetime. However, they realized now that if they were killed, no one would stand up for them.

Since He Shan had restrained his strength, it did not take long for Guan Qi Fei to heal his injuries. However, he did not show his anger to He Shan. He only said angrily, “Duan Ling Tian, I’ll bet with you!”

Duan Ling Tian who had entered the shop finally turned to look at Guan Qi Fei. “Finally, you’re being reasonable.”

Guan Qi Fei said coldly, “I agree to your bet. However, are you sure you can use the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Abilities as stakes? When you lose, I’m afraid you won’t hand over the promised reward.”

He Shan looked at Guan Qi Fei coldly and interjected, “I can represent the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. I vouch for him and give him permission to use the sect’s Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Abilities as stakes. If he loses, the sect and I won’t have any complaints.”

“Did you hear that?” Duan Ling Tian asked Guan Qi Fei. Then, without waiting for Guan Qi Fei to respond, he looked at Tan Zheng Ye and asked, “Vice Sect Leader Tan, Master Guan has agreed to bet with me… What about you?”

Guan Ji Fei interjected before Tan Zheng Ye could respond, “Vice Sect Leader Tan won’t bet with you! I will!”

“Just you?” Duan Ling Tian sneered before he said disdainfully, “I’m sorry… If it’s just you, then, I have no interest in betting.”

Guan Qi Fei burst into laughter for a moment before he said, “You’re just afraid of being exposed!” Then, he said to Tan Zheng Ye, “Vice Sect Leader Tan, do you feel at ease now?”

Tan Zheng Ye looked at Duan Ling Tian pointedly and said, “Master Duan, since you want to bet with us… Then, I’ll gladly oblige!”

Duan Ling Tian looked at Tan Zheng Ye and Guan Qi Fei with a hint of derision. “Sure… However, both of you should ask permission from your respective sect leaders before you agree to the bet. Otherwise, your sects might refuse to give me the prize when both of you lose. That would be very annoying!”

“I don’t need to return to obtain the sect leader’s permission… I’ll recount what happened to him through a Communication Celestial Talisman, and he’s sure to reply to me,” Tan Zheng Ye said.

“The same goes for me,” Guan Qi Fei said.

“In that case, you should invite your sect leaders over through the Celestial Communication Talismans. After all, I’m afraid if they don’t witness this with their eyes, they might not hand over the Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Ability later,” Duan Ling Tian said, “I don’t feel at ease without their presence. After all, if the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect weren’t here today, I’m sure you won’t believe me as well when I said that I’ll use the sect’s Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Abilities as stakes. My request isn’t too excessive, right” Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly after he finished speaking.

Guan Qi Fei and Tan Zheng Ye looked at each other and conversed through Voice Transmission again.

“Vice Sect Leader Tan, the more requests he makes, the more obvious that he’s afraid!”

“I agree. Since he wants our sect leaders here, let’s do as he asked. Otherwise, he’ll think we’re afraid of him.”

“That’s right!”

After that, Tan Zheng Ye and Guan Qi Fei did not hesitate to use the Communication Celestial Talismans to invite their respective sect leaders over.

The three prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing, were stunned when they saw Tan Zheng Ye and Guan Qi Fei did not hesitate to invite their respective sect leaders over. They looked at the two men as though the two men were fools. Did they not see how confident Duan Ling Tian was? And yet, they still dared to bet with Duan Ling Tian. How could they carelessly use their sects’ offensive-defensive Duke Grade Celestial Method and offensive-movement Divine Ability as stakes?

Alas, Tan Zheng Ye and Guan Qi Fei mistaken the three prominent Celestial Alchemist’s reactions for them being afraid.

…

Meanwhile…

“Someone who’s not even 100 years old refining Overarching Heaven Pills? How’s that possible?!”

“A prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pills even though he’s not even 100 years old? Ridiculous!”

These were the reactions of the Sect Leaders of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect and the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect Sect after receiving Guan Qi Fei and Tan Zheng Ye’s message. Both of them did not hesitate and made their way to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s shop. Similar to Tan Zheng Ye and Guan Qi Fei, they thought it would be a loss not to accept the bet. After all, it was akin to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect freely handing over their Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Abilities.
