Chapter 832: Leaving
Duan Ling Tian couldn't help but frown when he heard Ta Mu.
But for the sake of not making it difficult for Sword 13, he didn't say anything in the end.
"I'll join the Skywolf Fort!" A chilly voice sounded out, and it was the Darqing Dynasty's Ye Ling that spoke out and seemed to entirely not care that Feng Wei had threatened Qi Feng earlier, or perhaps she didn't believe Qi Feng's words from before.
Ye Ling's thoughts were extremely simple.
Besides the Skywolf Fort that only had Zi Shang, the Blade Sect and Emotion Severing Sect both possessed a few young geniuses that were even more outstanding than her, so she wouldn't obtain an important position in the sect even if she joined them.
So, she chose the Skywolf Fort.
"The Skywolf Fort welcomes you." Ning Can laughed joyfully, as he never imagined that there would still be someone that requested to join the Skywolf Fort under these circumstances.
After all, the reputation of the Skywolf Fort had already been utterly discredited by Feng Wei.
"I'll join the Empyrean Temple." The injuries of Ou Chen, who was ranked number 9, had already more or less recovered, and he spoke out.
His thoughts were more or less similar to Ye Ling.
Up until now, the Empyrean Temple hadn't obtained single person in the top 10, so if he went there, he would surely be valued.
Meanwhile, the top 10 of the martial competition had been completely shared up.
The Blade Sect was undoubtedly the biggest winner. As it had obtained five of the top 10, namely Duan Ling Tian, Ta Mu, Su Li, Feng Tian Wu, and Zhang Shou Yong.
Even though the Emotion Severing Sect only obtained two people like the Skywolf Fort, yet the young geniuses it obtained were the existences at the third and fourth, and they possessed extraordinary strength.
Qi Feng and Qin Kong.
The Skywolf Fort obtained two, Zi Shang and Ye Ling.
The Empyrean Temple only obtained one, Ou Chen.
In next to no time, the remaining young geniuses successively chose their homes. Perhaps they were reminded by the choices of Ye Ling and Ou Chen, causing even more of them to choose to join the Empyrean Temple and Skywolf Fort.
This caused smiles to bloom on the face of the two Vice Fort Masters of Skywolf Fort.
"Buddha be praised... Buddha be praised..." Hui Ming's face was covered in a smile.
But the two Vice Sect Masters of the Blade Sect, Sword 13 and Saber 5, and the Sect Master of the Emotion Severing Sect, Pei An, weren't unhappy because of this.
As far as they were concerned, was there any point in obtaining a large amount?
Quality was the way of kings!
In next to no time, brilliant smiles suffused the faces of the representative of the ten Dynasties because they more or less obtained the great gifts given by the four powers.
They were given great gifts mainly as a form of thanks to the Dynasties they were from for fostering this group of young geniuses.
"Everyone, the matter here has ended. My Emotion Severing Sect will leave first." Pei An bid his farewells indifferently before leaving with Zhang Yan and a few more young geniuses.
"Buddha be praised... This monk should leave as well." Hui Ming, Hui Jing, and the young monk came in a group of three but left in a group of over 10 people.
"Our Blade Sect ought to leave as well." Sword 13 glanced at Ning Can and Feng Wei before indifferently bidding farewell to the two, and then he soared into the sky with Duan Ling Tian and the others and headed out of the Skywolf Fort.
"Hmm?" Before he left, Duan Ling Tian noticed a gloomy gaze sweeping towards him, and he couldn't help but turn around.
"Zi Shang!" A wisp of a cold smile suffused the corners of Duan Ling Tian's mouth when he saw the owner of the gaze.
"Duan Ling Tian, I've said it before, you won't be able to live for long!" Zi Shang's voice transmission clearly entered into Duan Ling Tian's ears, and it was filled with ruthlessness.
"Idiot!" Duan Ling Tian replied calmly via voice transmission before following up to Sword 13 and the others to leave Skywolf Fort together.
Idiot?
Zi Shang's face was livid, and in the end, he fiercely gritted his teeth and looked at Ning Can who was talking with the other young geniuses. "Master, there's something I want to tell you... There's a treasure in Duan Ling Tian's possession! That possession is a Saint Weapon that surpasses spirit weapons, and it's capable of providing an amplification of 100%!"
Zi Shang was ready to risk everything now, and he was only thinking about how to kill Duan Ling Tian in his heart.
As for anything else, he temporarily didn't think of it.
"What?!" Ning Can's pupils constricted when he heard Zi Shang's voice transmission, and then he looked at Zi Shang and said with a low voice, "Follow me!"
After a short moment, both of them arrived at an empty area.
"Is what you said true?" Ning Can asked with a low voice.
"Yes." Zi Shang nodded.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Ning Can asked again, and his tone contained slight blame.
"I originally thought that QI Feng would be able to kill him, and after Qi Feng killed him, I'd think of a way to obtain his Spatial Ring..." Zi Shang took a deep breath before speaking.
"You wanted to keep the Saint Weapon for yourself?" Ning Can's eyes flickered with bright lights as his fierce gaze descended onto Zi Shang as if it was capable of seeing through him.
"Yes!" Zi Shang gritted his teeth and nodded in admission.
"Hmph! I'll deal with you later." Ning Can grunted coldly and left directly, but his tone didn't reveal any intention of blaming Zi Shang.
If he compared himself to Zi Shang, then he wouldn't easily tell anyone about the Saint Weapon as well.
"A Saint Weapon that provides an amplification of 100%... If the Fort Master is able to obtain it, then he'll be able to easily defeat the two old fellows of the Blade Sect, the old baldy of the Empyrean Temple, and the old Sect Master and current Sect Master Pei An of the Emotion Severing Sect." After Ning Clan parted with Zi Shang, he directly headed to the inner fort.
This was a great event that had a deep and far effects to their Skywolf Fort, so he couldn't afford to dally.
"Duan Ling Tian, let see how you survive this time!" The corners of Zi Shang's mouth was suffused with an evil cold smile when he saw Ning Can leave, and he seemed to have already seen the scene of Duan Ling Tian being killed by the experts of the Skywolf Fort.
On the other side, Duan Ling Tian's group headed all the way towards the north after leaving the Ancient Desert City as the Blade Sect was in that direction.
"Our Blade Sect is divided into the House of Sabers and House of Swords. The House of Saber's Master is the Master of my Senior Brother Saber, and the Master of the House of Swords is my Master..." Sword 13 introduced the Blade Sect to Duan Ling Tian and the others. The gains he obtained this time were extremely plentiful, causing him to be in a great mood.
"Ta Mu, how about following me to the House of Sabers?" Suddenly, Saber 5 arrived at Ta Mu's side and spoke to Ta Mu.
"I'll go where Master goes!" Ta Mu didn't even think before speaking directly.
"I'll give you the best cultivation environment, how about it?"
"I'll go where Master goes!"
"I'll satisfy any request you have, how about it?'
"I'll go where Master goes!"
"Can you say something else?"
"I'll go where Master goes!"
...
In the end, Saber 5 was completely speechless, and he could only shoot his gaze at Duan Ling Tian. "Ling Tian, ask this disciple of yours to join our House of Sabers... How about it?"
As far as he was concerned, Duan Ling Tian was adept in the sword and coupled with his Junior Brother Sword would surely not allow Duan Ling Tian to leave, so he'd never thought about pulling Duan Ling Tian into the House of Sabers.
He only hoped to be able to convince Duan Ling Tian to order Ta Mu to enter the House of Sabers. As far as he was concerned, once Duan Ling Tian issued the order, Ta Mu would absolutely not refuse.
"He isn't my disciple!" Duan Ling Tian frowned and spoke decisively.
"Ling Tian, just speak frankly about any benefit you want... In any case, my House of Sabers wants this Ta Mu for sure!"
"He isn't my disciple!"
"Ling Tian, how about this, I'll..."
"He isn't my disciple!"
"Can you not interrupt me, wait for me to..."
"He isn't my disciple!"
...
Saber 5 yielded completely after a round of this, and he couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "It's truly a great waste if the two of you aren't master and disciple!"
"You think so as well?" The eyes of Ta Mu who'd always been following quietly behind Duan Ling Tian lit up when he heard Saber 5, and he seemed to have found a common topic with Saber 5.
"Yes, indeed." Saber 5's eyes lit up, there seems to be a chance!
"Not bad, not bad... Your judgment isn't bad." Ta Mu praised.
"Since you said my judgment isn't bad, then since I asked you to join my House of Sabers, you..." Saber 5 followed along, but he hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by Ta Mu.
"I'll go where Master goes!"
For a time, Saber 5 yielded completely, and he was utterly helpless.
Feng Tian Wu, Su Li, and Zhang Shou Yong who stood on the other side of Duan Ling Tian couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene.
As far as they were concerned, Ta Mu was simply a clown.
"Ta Mu!" Duan Ling Tian who'd never paid any attention to Ta Mu since the beginning looked at Ta Mu seriously for the first time.
"Master, is there anything you need?" Ta Mu looked respectfully and reverently at Duan Ling Tian.
"I've already said it before, I'm not your Master! Besides that, I want to tell you that I'm unable to teach you the things you want to learn from me because it's an ability that can't be replicated." Duan Ling Tian spoke with a serious expression, and his words came from the heart.
"Don't worry Master, I'll absolutely not teach it to a third person once I learn it!" Ta Mu vowed sincerely, and his words obviously showed he didn't take Duan Ling Tian's words seriously, causing Duan Ling Tian to feel a wave of speechlessness.
"Did you not hear me clearly?" Duan Ling Tian frowned and spoke with slight impatience.
"Master, I know you feel aversion towards me now, and don't want to pass that ability down to me... But I believe that I'll surely be able to move you with my sincerity one day." Ta Mu spoke in all seriousness.
"You think I'm deceiving you?" Duan Ling Tian could be considered to have understood now. It turned out that this Ta Mu didn't believe him since the beginning.
"Ta Mu doesn't dare." Ta Mu hurriedly lowered his head like an old child that was wronged when he heard Duan Ling Tian's tone was off.
"Never mind, I can't be bothered to pay attention to you!" Duan Ling Tian was completely helpless. Ta Mu was simply a hopeless case, and he was a peculiar hopeless case that couldn't be polished.
"Master, I'll surely do my duty as a disciple," said Ta Mu seriously.
Duan Ling Tian didn't pay any more attention to him instead, and he looked at Su Li and laughed. "Su Li, when did you comprehend Intermediate Water Concept? You really concealed it too deeply, huh? In the past, I thought you only comprehended Sword Concept."
"It's a matter from a long time ago. After not utilizing it for a long time, I almost forgot about it... It just happened that I encountered layer upon layer of pressure in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties this time, so I recalled it once more and utilized it." Su Li smiled.
"Do you think I would believe that?" Duan Ling Tian rolled his eyes angrily at Su Li. Who was he deceiving? How could a martial artist at the Void Interpretation Stage just forget about something?
