The figure that seemed to appear out of thin air in front of Duan Lingtian and the others, and quickly solidified, was none other than the leader of the Fire Worship Cult, Tang Xuan!
"Leader!"
Seeing Tang Xuan appear, Duan Lingtian's pupils suddenly shrank, with a look of shock and disbelief on his face.
How is this possible?!
Isn't this leader of the Zoroastrian Sect engaged in a fierce battle with the Supreme Elder of the Xuansha Sect?
How could he come back so soon?
Seeing Tang Xuan come back, Gan Ruyan's expression also changed.
As for Ke'er, while her pretty face changed color slightly, she leaned tightly against Duan Lingtian, as if she was not afraid of anything as long as Duan Lingtian was by her side.
The little girl in Gan Ruyan's arms, also the daughter of Duan Lingtian and Ke'er, 'Duan Siling', was lying quietly in Gan Ruyan's arms, untouchable.
And the reason why she was so quiet was because Gan Ruyan gave her a pill that temporarily put her to sleep without side effects, so that she and her mother would not worry about her father's safety.
"Lingtian Protector, I didn't expect it was really you!"
Tang Xuan looked at Duan Lingtian with a gloomy expression, his eyes were cold and he chose to devour anyone.
Before, although he found that Duan Lingtian's eyebrows were somewhat similar to the 'daughter' of their Zoroastrian saint, he only suspected that Duan Lingtian was the 'man' of the saint in the lower realm and was not sure.
Of course, while he was doubtful, he also thought of a way to test Duan Lingtian.
That method was the statement he made deliberately before:
Three months later, the saint’s daughter was executed!
In his view:
As long as their Zoroastrian Cult's Protector Ling Tian is the 'man' of the Saint in the Lower Realm, he will definitely not watch his daughter die, and his fault will definitely be exposed by then.
This is also the 'opportunity' he has been waiting for.
However, he never expected that before that, the Lingtian protector of their Zoroastrian Cult would be exposed!
"Is it really me?"
Even though Duan Lingtian was shocked by Tang Xuan's appearance, now that he heard Tang Xuan's words, he couldn't help but be startled and confused, wondering what Tang Xuan's words meant.
"snort!"
Seemingly sensing Duan Lingtian's doubts, Tang Xuan snorted and said: "Before, I discovered that the saint's daughter's eyebrows are somewhat similar to yours... plus you are also from the 'Lower Domain'.
Therefore, I have to wonder whether you are the 'man' that the saint is looking for in the lower realm!"
daughter?
After hearing Tang Xuan's words, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but look at the little girl in Gan Ruyan's arms.
The little girl lay in Gan Ruyan's arms, revealing only half of her cute little face, but she could not hide the resemblance between her brows and his.
"This...is my and Ke'er's daughter?"
Looking at the little girl, Duan Lingtian could not help but feel his heart trembling. The feeling of blood connection made his heart seem to melt completely at this moment.
This is his daughter!
His and Kerr’s daughter!
"However, until there is no confirmation, I am just suspicious."
At the same time, Tang Xuan’s voice continued:
"I originally wanted to wait three months later, when I pretended to execute the saint's daughter, to verify my suspicion... But I didn't expect that you yourself were exposed in advance!!"
When talking about it later, Tang Xuan's tone was filled with rage, as if he was extremely angry!
Swish! Swish!
After hearing Tang Xuan's words, both Ke'er and Gan Ruyan's expressions changed drastically.
Before this, they did not know that Tang Xuan had announced that he would execute Duan Siling!
"So, you released the news that you were going to execute my daughter... just to lure me into taking the bait?"
After hearing Tang Xuan's words, Duan Lingtian also understood many things, and his face darkened.
"It's not like luring you into taking the bait."
Tang Xuan continued to say in a cold voice: "I was not sure before that you were the 'man' that the saint was looking for in the lower realm. I just wanted to test you... If you are not, naturally everyone will be happy. And if you are, even if you are
Our Zoroastrian Cult protects the Dharma, and our sins are unforgivable!!"
After Tang Xuan spoke, his tone was also extremely decisive, as if there was no room for maneuver!
It's like if Duan Lingtian is the 'man' they are looking for in the lower realm, Duan Lingtian is a heinous sinner!
"Master Cult Leader!"
At this moment, Gan Ruyan looked at Tang Xuan and said: "Now, Duan Lingtian is the protector of our Zoroastrian Cult and the 'pillar' of our Zoroastrian Cult! Can't...can't we give him the privilege of ignoring the 'canonical rules'?"
"In the past, in our Zoroastrian Cult, didn't the strong ones at the protector level also have certain 'privileges' to ignore the canon rules?"
"If we follow the canon rules, but we have to execute him...if he dies, it will undoubtedly be a big loss to our Zoroastrian religion, which is harmful but useless!"
After what Gan Ruyan said, she also intended to persuade Tang Xuan to let Duan Lingtian go.
Moreover, he gave Duan Lingtian and her sister the 'green light' to fulfill their love and finally get married.
"Girl Ru Yan, you'd better not get involved in this matter! Otherwise, even if you are the direct disciple of Qinghuo Dharma Protector, don't blame me for being rude!"
After hearing Gan Ruyan's words, Tang Xuan's expression darkened, and then he glanced at her.
If their Zoroastrian saint was just an ordinary saint, and considering Duan Lingtian's importance to Zoroastrianism, he would naturally give the 'green light' to Duan Lingtian and the saint.
He is even willing to take the initiative to bring them together and turn their deeds into a "good story" about Zoroastrianism.
However, this saint is not an ordinary saint!
Her origin is not simple!
Her existence is related to that powerful man who is like a 'god'!
Therefore, he did not dare to mess around.
Not only do we not dare to mess around, we must also imprison Duan Lingtian well and wait for the 'judgment' after that powerful man comes to this secular plane again!
Tang Xuan Hengmu's words to Gan Ruyan once again showed his extremely firm 'attitude' towards Duan Lingtian and Ke'er!
It was impossible for him to let Duan Lingtian be with their Zoroastrian saint.
Even if Duan Lingtian is now the ‘pillar’ of the Zoroastrian Cult!
After learning about Tang Xuan's 'attitude', even Duan Lingtian couldn't help but suddenly change his expression.
He was still thinking:
After being discovered by Tang Xuan today, he may be able to rely on his current strength to make Tang Xuan develop a "cherishing spirit" and not pursue the matter between him and Ke'er.
But I didn't expect that Tang Xuan's attitude would be so decisive!
Immediately, Duan Lingtian also realized that this matter could not be rectified, so he did not waste any more words.
"It seems that before this Tang Xuan kills me, we can only try to find a way to introduce him to the 'Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower' and ask Mr. Huo to help kill him... Otherwise, I will die! Moreover,
After my death, Ke'er, mother and daughter, will also be in danger."
Now, Duan Lingtian has no choice.
This can only be done.
Otherwise, he would not be able to think of any way to reverse the situation at hand.
"Lao Huo!"
Whatever he wanted to do, he did it. Duan Lingtian immediately contacted Mr. Huo.
"It's too risky! He may not be fooled!"
This was Huo Lao's reply to Duan Lingtian.
"I also know that this is risky, and he may not be fooled...but, Mr. Huo, do you think I have any other choice now?"
Duan Lingtian asked bitterly.
"Put the 'Rose Immortal Sword' and 'Qiankun Ruler' back to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda... I'll try to see if I can send you back to the 'Lower Domain' of the Dao Martial Holy Land!"
Huo Lao's voice came again, and Duan Lingtian was stunned.
Huo Lao said to him:
Send them back to Daowu Holy Land ‘Lower Domain’?
"Lao Huo, you..."
Just when Duan Lingtian wanted to ask something, Mr. Huo interrupted him bluntly, "No need to ask any more questions! What you have to do now is to quickly return the 'Rose Immortal Sword' and 'Qiankun Ruler' to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower.
.”
"good!"
All this time, Huo Lao has never deceived Duan Lingtian, and Duan Lingtian also has great trust in Huo Lao.
Now, since Mr. Huo has reached this point, he naturally does not hesitate or ink again.
With a thought, he transferred the immortal family's most precious treasures, the 'Gem Immortal Sword' and the 'Qiankun Ruler', which were temporarily stored in Najie, to the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Almost at the moment Duan Lingtian put the immortal family's most precious treasures, the 'Gem Immortal Sword' and the 'Qiankun Ruler', back into the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower.
Duan Lingtian discovered again:
The Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower, which he had stored in his ear and turned into the size of dust, actually flew out on its own, as if it was out of his control.
"Didn't Mr. Huo say before that although he is the 'Tower Spirit' of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, he cannot control the 'Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda'?"
Seeing this, Duan Lingtian was confused again.
at the same time.
"Duan Lingtian!!"
The leader of the Fire Worship Cult, 'Tang Xuan', gave a cold shout, swayed, and wanted to step forward to capture Duan Lingtian.
Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew!
…
Between the thunder and lightning, dense sword whistles sounded.
What then appeared was a circular light mask completely condensed by thousands of blood-red sword lights, covering Duan Lingtian, Ke'er, Gan Ruyan, and Duan Siling inside.
Also shrouded inside was the Qibao Exquisite Tower that flew out on its own.
"Who?!"
Seeing the light shield formed by the sword light that appeared out of thin air, Tang Xuan's expression suddenly changed, and the holy energy in his body surged. The power belonging to the 'Ninth Transformation of the Holy Immortal Powerful' also roared out like thunder.
"this……"
Duan Lingtian was also confused when he saw the light mask appearing out of thin air and covering him.
As a 'sword cultivator', at this moment, he could clearly sense the horror of the thousands of bloody sword lights that formed this layer of light, "This...is this Huo Lao's method?"
Tear!!
Suddenly, there was a sound of something being torn apart, attracting Duan Lingtian's eyes.
The next moment, Duan Lingtian saw again:
In the void where the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower is located, a 'crack' appeared out of thin air. After the crack, it looked extremely dark, and it was unknown where it led.
Before Duan Lingtian could recover, he felt a huge force coming, dragging him, Ke'er, Gan Ruyan, and Duan Siling into the 'crack' not far away.
