And almost as soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, a sound like thunder came from far to near.
The sound was loud, causing Feng Wudao and others to change their expressions.
Their expressions were not changed because of the sound that appeared out of thin air, but because the sound was not unfamiliar to them.
The reason why Banyuedao is like this is all because of this person.
"Let me tell you, why did they come back after they escaped? It turned out to be to wait for you... So, you are the new owner of Banyuedao, the leader of the Lingtian Sect, 'Duan Lingtian'?"
When the sound came again, a figure appeared in the remote and quiet valley.
A middle-aged man wearing a golden robe, with a stout figure like an iron tower, was standing in the sky, looking down at Duan Lingtian with a scrutinizing gaze, his face full of indifference.
And at this moment, Duan Lingtian felt an irresistible spiritual power sweeping over him, covering his whole body in an instant, making him feel like he was being spied on.
At this moment, he felt that he had no secrets left in front of the golden-robed middle-aged man.
"The strength is stronger than them, but it's just a 'Little Perfection in the Saint Realm'... How dare you speak so brazenly that you want to settle a score with me and the Dragon Clan?"
The middle-aged man in golden robes, the five-clawed golden dragon ‘Emperor Jue’, looked at Duan Lingtian with a sarcastic look on his face, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Are you Di Jue?"
Duan Lingtian's face was gloomy as he stared at the golden-robed middle-aged man in front of him and guessed his identity for a moment.
Being able to see through his cultivation means that this emperor is definitely above the 'sacred realm'.
Moreover, it seems to be an adult five-clawed dragon.
"That's right! I am Di Jue... I am the one who destroyed Banyue Island. Don't you want to settle accounts with me? I am standing in front of you now, and I am curious about how you want to settle accounts with me."
Di Jue stared at Duan Lingtian, the sarcastic smile on his face getting worse.
Duan Lingtian's face became increasingly gloomy, and Di Jue's words made him feel ashamed.
When he talked about settling accounts with Emperor Jue, or even with the Dragon Clan, he was naturally not talking about now.
He is not arrogant enough to think that he can compete with Di Jue or even the Dragon Clan now.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Di Jue, who had been staring at Duan Lingtian, his expression suddenly changed, and then he asked sternly: "Duan Lingtian, why do you have the aura of my son on you?"
"Your son?"
Duan Lingtian was startled.
"Stop pretending to be stupid! My son is 'Di Yong', the former owner of Banyue Island."
Di Jue snorted coldly.
After hearing Di Jue's words, Duan Lingtian also understood a lot of things.
It turned out that this Di Jue was Di Yong's father.
As for why Di Jue came to find him, and knowing that Di Yong was killed, he could make some guesses. It must be that Di Jue had Di Yong's 'soul pearl' in his hand.
Once Emperor Yong died, Emperor Jue would naturally find out.
"It turns out you are Di Yong's father."
At this moment, Duan Lingtian's face returned to calm, and then he said calmly: "Emperor Yong originally said that he was going to the 'Daowu Holy Land' and temporarily handed over Banyuedao to me... In addition, as a reward for taking care of Banyuedao,
', and he also gave me a drop of his blood essence."
"Perhaps, this is why you said that I have his breath."
After talking about it, Duan Lingtian's face was still expressionless, showing no emotion or anger.
"My son's essence and blood? No wonder, no wonder..."
Di Jue nodded, and when he looked at Duan Lingtian again, there was a cold murderous intent in his eyes, "I have heard these remarks of yours mentioned by many people before... If I hadn't known that my son would never have left,
Banyuedao, let alone Daowu Holy Land, I’m afraid I’ll be deceived by you.”
When talking about it later, Di Jue had a sneer on his face.
"Impossible? Nothing is impossible in this world."
Duan Lingtian said calmly.
"Perhaps you don't know...Back then, I asked Emperor Jue to swear an oath with the Thunder Punishment Oath. Before his cultivation reached the 'Holy Realm', he would not leave Banyue Island, let alone go to Daowu Holy Land."
Di Jue had an expression that said, "You don't have to pretend anymore."
And when Duan Lingtian heard Di Jue's words, he couldn't help but feel a panic in his heart.
That Emperor Yong actually made such an oath?
As for the reason why Emperor Yong, who was later possessed by a soul and took over his body, was fine after leaving Banyued Island, Duan Lingtian had some guesses.
That's because Di Yong's 'soul' has changed.
The oath of thunder and punishment recognizes the 'soul' of the person who swears the oath, not the body.
"Although I don't know how you obtained my son's blood, I am now certain that you are inseparable from my son's death!"
Di Jue's eyes when he looked at Duan Lingtian became increasingly cold, making Duan Lingtian feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Tell me. How did my son die? As long as you tell the truth and swear an oath of punishment, saying that what you say is absolutely true...then I can let everyone else go except you."
As Di Jue spoke, his eyes swept over Ke'er beside Duan Lingtian, Feng Wudao, Sima Changfeng and others.
For a moment, Feng Wudao and others felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Duan Lingtian, ignore him! Not to mention whether he is telling the truth or not, even if he is really willing to let us go because of this, I don't know about others, but I will never be able to live comfortably again in this life."
At some point, Marshal Chen shouted loudly and stood beside Duan Lingtian in the blink of an eye. As he raised his hand, a three-foot green blade was already in his hand, pointing directly at Emperor Jue.
"Boy Lingtian, although no one is not afraid of death, today, I, Feng Wudao, am willing to accompany you until the end."
Feng Wudao took a step forward, stood beside Duan Lingtian, and spoke frankly.
Although Sima Changfeng did not speak, his actions undoubtedly showed that he was as determined as Feng Wudao.
Immediately afterwards, whether it was Xiong Quan, Jin Sha, or the Nangong brothers, they also stood beside Duan Lingtian, choosing to advance and retreat with Duan Lingtian.
Let them watch Duan Lingtian die while they survive, they can't do it.
For a while, Luo Ping was the only one left, a little undecided.
Although she didn't want to betray Duan Lingtian, she was frightened from the bottom of her heart when facing the incomparably powerful Emperor Jue.
If possible, she hopes she can survive.
"It's really touching... However, it seems that someone is more willing to let you die and let her live alone."
As Di Jue spoke, his eyes fell on Luo Ping, making Luo Ping feel like she was facing a formidable enemy.
Regarding the statements of Feng Wudao, Sima Changfeng, Chen Shaoshuai and others, Duan Lingtian felt warm in his heart; although he was a little disappointed with Luo Ping's indecision, he did not blame Luo Ping.
After all, what happened today was a matter of life and death even for him.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian discovered that Ke'er's slender hand had grasped his hand at some point, and held it tightly, making it clear that she wanted to advance and retreat with him, and live and die together.
If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
Duan Lingtian's eyes were filled with tenderness, but behind this tenderness, he seemed to have made some determination.
boom!!
With a sudden loud noise and no movement from Di Jue, Luo Ping's whole body instantly exploded and turned into nothing.
Not even a trace of blood could be seen, as if it had been completely evaporated.
The methods shown by Di Jue made Duan Lingtian's mood become increasingly gloomy.
powerful!
Too strong!
Emperor Jue's strength made him feel powerless from the bottom of his heart, making it difficult for him to even think of resisting.
He had no doubt that as long as Emperor Jue was willing, he could destroy everyone, including himself, with just a few moves.
"I helped you deal with someone who was unfaithful to you, should you thank me?"
Di Jue looked directly at Duan Lingtian and asked lightly.
Although his tone was calm, it contained a chilling tone that made people feel creepy.
"Is what you just said true?"
However, Duan Lingtian did not mean to thank Di Jue, but changed the topic and asked lightly.
"Of course it's true."
Di Jue, who realized what Duan Lingtian was asking, suddenly lit up his eyes, and then said calmly: "To me, they are just 'ants'. Whether they are alive or dead, it will not have any impact on me."
"Who knows if you will regret it?"
Duan Lingtian sneered.
"If I wanted to take their lives, I would have taken action as early as when they fled Banyue Island and came back."
Emperor Jue laughed sarcastically.
What he said was true. If he wanted the lives of Ke'er and others, it would be impossible for Ke'er and others to survive until now.
"You dare to say that you have no other purpose for keeping them?"
Duan Lingtian, however, did not follow Emperor Jue's tactics and said calmly.
"What do you want?"
Di Jue frowned and asked in a bad tone.
"Unless you also make an oath of thunder and punishment, and on the premise of following your instructions and cooperating with you, you must not deal with them in any way."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Boy, you are the first person who dares to ask my Emperor Jue to make an oath of thunder and punishment."
Di Jue said coldly.
"It's up to you whether you want to know the cause of your son's death."
Duan Lingtian said calmly.
"It seems I was right...you really know!"
Di Jue's eyes became colder and colder. If he hadn't wanted to know the cause of his son's death, he would have taken action and killed Duan Lingtian directly.
At this time, Ke'er and others also realized what Duan Lingtian wanted to do.
Duan Lingtian wanted to sacrifice himself to save their lives.
"Master, Ke'er will live and die with you! If you die, Ke'er will never live alone."
Ke'er held Duan Lingtian's hand tighter, her tone full of determination.
"Boy Ling Tian, the person standing next to you now is not greedy for life and afraid of death... He is strong, but he doesn't want us to compromise."
Feng Wudao also knows.
Sima Changfeng and others all agreed.
"Everyone, I have made up my mind, let this matter be as it is... Of course, the premise is that this person takes the Thunder Punishment Oath."
After Duan Lingtian said that, he looked at Di Jue.
"snort!"
His face was extremely gloomy, and he finally chose to compromise, and made an oath of thunder punishment in front of Duan Lingtian and others.
"Boy, can you speak now?"
After Di Jue took the oath, he stared at Duan Lingtian with cold eyes and said in a deep voice.
