Chapter 2065: Leaving the Fire Worship Sect

Guan Xiu was an insignificant Saint Land disciple in the Fire Worship Sect. Moreover, he barely had any interactions with Duan Ling Tian. He would not be targeted by the people whom Duan Ling Tian had offended. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian had gone to him for his help.

Duan Ling Tian was very cautious when he went to the Saint Land disciples’ residence. With the help from Elder Huo who was in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, he managed to avoid notice and arrived at the tree in the Saint Land disciples’ residence that he had pointed out to Guan Xiu yesterday.

“I hope that everything goes well.” After taking a deep breath, Duan Ling Tian placed the little box he prepared on the branch. He had shrunk the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda inside the box. After that, he entered the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda with just a thought.

All that was left was to wait for Guan Xiu to collect the box.

Meanwhile, the people who were sent to spy on Duan Ling Tian began to search for him frantically when they realized that they had lost him. Moreover, they spread the news of his disappearance as well.

At once, many powerhouses from the Saint Land of the Fire Worship Sect began to make their way to the Four Symbol Sanctums.

They only had one objective in mind. They were going to inspect everyone who was leaving the Fire Worship Sect to see if Duan Ling Tian was there. If they found out Duan Ling Tian was leaving, they would bring the news back to Dong Yuan Jin, one of the Vice Hall Masters in the Enforcement Hall.

It was fortunate Duan Ling Tian did not plan to leave the Fire Worship Sect in such a direct way. Otherwise, he would not escape notice even with Elder Huo’s help. He could certainly disguise himself, but his figure and aura would give him away. For this reason, he did not dare to take the risk. As long as someone was familiar with him, they would be able to see through his disguise.

...

Meanwhile, it was tranquil in the Saint Land disciples’ residence unlike the chaotic Four Symbols Sanctums.

While Vice Hall Master Dong Yuan Jin’s men were stationed all around the Fire Worship Sect’s Four Symbol Sanctum and watched over every soul that was leaving the sect, a figure walked out of one of the stone houses in the Saint Land disciples’ residence. It was obvious this person was a Saint Land disciple.

“It’s time!” The Saint Land disciple was none other than Guan Xiu whom Duan Ling Tian looked for yesterday. He was the key factor that would determine whether Duan Ling Tian would be able to safely leave the Fire Worship Sect. As long as Guan Xiu did not make any mistakes, he should be able to leave the Fire Worship Sect without any problems.

Soon after, Guan Xiu approached the tree that Duan Ling Tian had pointed out to him yesterday. It was just like he said. There was a small box at the place they had agreed on.

Although Guan Xiu was extremely curious about the content of the box since Duan Ling Tian had told him to take care not to even shake it, he managed to suppress his curiosity. He did not open the box to have a look at all.

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother Ling Tian... I’ll do a good job!” After taking a deep breath, Guan Xiu carefully picked up the box and made sure it was stable before he flew out of the Saint Land of the Fire Worship Sect. After he left the Saint Land, he made his way south with the small box.

There was a rule in the Fire Worship Sect that stated disciples were not allowed to carelessly enter any of the Four Symbols Sanctums. However, disciples could leave the Fire Worship Sect if they take the route around the Black Turtle Sanctum.

Apart from carefully guarding the little box in his hand, Guan Xiu did not pay attention to anything else along the way. He did not even realize there were Silver Flame Elders spying on him. However, they did not make things difficult for him. They just looked at him to make sure he was not Duan Ling Tian before they allowed him to leave the Fire Worship Sect.

‘I hope nothing bad happens...’ Duan Ling Tian felt anxious the entire time he was hiding in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. He was not worried the Silver Flame Elders would stop Guan Xiu or harm him since he was not Duan Ling Tian. The Silver Flames Elders would never expect that Duan Ling Tian was inside the box that Guan Xiu was carrying anyway. He was more worried that Guan Xiu would make a mistake and accidentally shake the small box. If that happened, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda would definitely expel him. At that time, he would be discovered by the Silver Flame Elders, and he would fail in his mission to stealthily leave the Fire Worship Sect.

Fortunately, Guan Xiu was very reliable. The small box remained stable in his hands. It did not move so much as an inch even after he had traveled hundreds of miles away from the Fire Worship Sect!

‘Guan Xiu is really dependable. I will remember this favor.’ Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief after they were hundreds of miles away from the Fire Worship Sect. After all, even if Guan Xiu accidentally shook the box now, causing the Seven Treasures Exquisite to expel him, the high-ranking officials whom he had offended would not find out anyway.

Among the high-ranking officials in the Fire Worship Sect whom Duan Ling Tian had offended, the Black Turtle Sanctum’s First Silver Flame Elder Li An was just a small problem. After all, he had offended people with higher positions like the Sanctum Leader of the Azure Dragon Sanctum and Dong Yuan Jin, one of the Vice Hall Masters in the Enforcement Hall.

If they discovered Duan Ling Tian had left the Fire Worship Sect, he would die unless he returned to the sect.

With Guan Xiu’s speed, it did not take long for him to travel a thousand miles.

“This should be the place Senior Brother Ling Tian spoke of,” Guan Xiu muttered to himself as he looked at the barren hills before him. After he landed, he placed the small box on the ground and left without looking back.

After confirming that Guan Xiu had left, Duan Ling Tian came out of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and put the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda away before he tossed the small box into his Spatial Ring.

“Finally! I’m out!” Duan Ling Tian was in a great mood as he looked at the hills surrounding him.

Since Duan Ling Tian had managed to leave the Fire Worship Sect without anyone noticing, he did not have the worry about the high-ranking officials whom he had offended. He could do as he pleased without any worries.

“I left the Fire Worship Sect to improve my Innate Spiritual Root!” Duan Ling Tian did not forget his purpose of leaving the Fire Worship Sect. If it was not because he wanted to improve his Innate Spiritual Root quickly so he could improve his cultivation speed, he would not have just left the Fire Worship Sect. After all, Ke’Er and their daughter were still imprisoned in the Enforcement Hall of the Fire Worship Sect. They were in a precarious situation. All he wanted to do now was to quickly get stronger as fast as he could to rescue Ke’er and their daughter.

The rules in the Fire Worship Sect were strict, he would not have many chances to improve his Innate Spiritual Root. However, it was different once he left the Fire Worship Sect.

‘Although I desperately need to improve my Innate Spiritual Root, I won’t simply devour anyone’s Innate Spiritual Root. Otherwise, I’m no different from those cold-blooded Devil Cultivators.’ Duan Ling Tian was certain about this. He would not harm the innocent. It did not matter that he wished to quickly improve his Innate Spiritual Root.

‘Where in the Upper Province should I go to quickly improve my Innate Spiritual Root?’ With that question in mind, Duan Ling Tian continued to make his way south.

After a few days, he saw a city and decided to take a break there. Perhaps, he would also be able to find out about places where he could quickly improve his Innate Spiritual Root.

‘A place that’s most suitable for me to improve my Innate Spiritual Root should be a place with many wicked people. I won’t feel bad devouring their Innate Spiritual Root that way!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian found the busiest restaurant in the city and entered before he took a seat by the window. After he placed his order, he began listening in on the conversations in his surroundings.

Restaurants were always a good place to find out what was happening. Duan Ling Tian believed he would obtain the information he wanted here.

Time continued to pass. It was already afternoon. At this time, the restaurant became livelier, and it was so full that there were no seats left empty.

So far there was nothing noteworthy that Duan Ling Tian could glean from the conversations going on around him. However, he was not anxious. He continued to patiently listen to the conversations around him.

If there was no information on the first day, he would come back on the second day.

If there was still no information on the second day, he would come back on the third day.

If he still could not find any information on the third day, he would look for someone and ask.

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian could just directly ask for the information he wanted, but he decided not to do that yet. Although he had been in the Upper Province for quite some time, he had spent most of his time in the Fire Worship Sect. There were still many things he did not know about the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. He planned to use this opportunity to learn more about the Upper Province.

“I heard Medicine King Sun Ying’s herd garden was robbed about six months ago... I heard he imprisoned three people who came from the Lower Province so that they would work in the garden for him!” Someone said.

Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he heard this.
