1961 The First Mine (1/2)

There was only one reason for Li An to head to the White Tiger Sanctum, and it was to look for Duan Ling Tian's companion, Zhu Lu Qi!

He still remembered Duan Ling Tian had two companions when he first came to the Fire Worship Sect. After further investigation, he learned that Duan Ling Tian's companions' names were Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi respectively. The former was in the Vermilion Bird Sanctum while the latter was in the White Tiger Sanctum.

'Hurmph! I refuse to believe that Zhu Lu Qi and Gu Li would be in closed-door cultivation all the time like Duan Ling Tian,' Li An thought to himself with a snort. His expression was solemn.

Since three months ago, after Duan Ling Tian had killed Yuan Hong, Li An's grand disciple in the Vermilion Bird Sanctum, Li An had always been lurking in the vicinity of the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples' residence, waiting for Duan Ling Tian to be alone so he could cast the Soul Searching Secret Tactic on him! He did not dare to kill Duan Ling Tian in the Fire Worship Sect even if Duan Ling Tian was alone.

The punishment from the Saint Land Enforcement Hall was far beyond what one could imagine. Moreover, they might even make him swear on the lightning penalty oath that he did not kill Duan Ling Tian if they suspected him. He did not dare to take this risk!

However, if he performed the Soul Searching Secret Tactic on Duan Ling Tian without anyone around and did not affect Duan Ling Tian much, with his position as a Silver Flame Elder, the Saint Land Enforcement Hall usually would not take action even if they found out about it.

Unfortunately, during these three months, Duan Ling Tian had been in closed-door cultivation so he could not find a chance to cast the Soul Searching Secret Tactic on Duan Ling Tian.

Today, Duan Ling Tian would be going to the First Mine of the Four Symbols Sanctums to serve his time. The Black Turtle Sanctum's Enforcement Elder Guo Xiong would be escorting him there. Li An knew he would not be able to cast the Soul Searching Secret Tactic on Duan Ling Tian for the time being.

Since Li An could not cast it on Duan Ling Tian, he decided he would look for a chance from Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi.

The White Tiger Sanctum that Zhu Lu Qi was in was nearer to the Black Turtle Sanctum so he decided to head to the White Tiger Sanctum first.

Perhaps, it was it luck. As soon as he arrived in the White Tiger Sanctum, he immediately discovered a familiar White Tiger Sanctum's disciple who was just leaving the White Tiger Sanctum's altar and was returning to the residence of the White Tiger Sanctum's disciples. Moreover, there was no one around him at all. That disciple was none other than Zhu Lu Qi.

Whoosh!

Li An instantly charged toward Zhu Lu Qi. His speed was so fast it was as though he had transformed into a gust of wind.

”Who is it?!” The sound of wind whistling rang in Zhu Lu Qi's ears, causing horror to dawn on him since he could tell the sound was headed for him.

However, before Zhu Lu Qi could even react, a vast and terrifying energy from Li An had already shrouded him. It caused him to lose all mobility. He was completely under Li An's control at this moment!

Zhu Lu Qi discovered the scenery before his eyes kept changing as someone carried him and flew swiftly to who knew where. After a while, the person who carried him finally slowed down before coming to halt.

”Li An?” Although he could not see the other person's appearance from the beginning until the end, it was not difficult for him to guess who it was.

It was obvious Li An had intentionally brought Zhu Lu Qi away. Zhu Lu Qi suddenly recalled Duan Ling Tian's warning from three months ago. He remembered the Secret Tactic that had been passed to him that could combat the Soul Searching Secret Tactic.

In just a flash, an old man appeared before him. Zhu Lu Qi had seen this man once when he first entered the Fire Worship Sect. He was none other than the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder Li An!

He had guessed correctly.

When Li An performed the Soul Searching Secret Tactic on Zhu Lu Qi, before Zhu Lu Qi lost consciousness, a thought appeared in his mind. 'Lucky I've been using the Secret Tactic Duan Ling Tian had passed to me.'

Li An stood in front of Zhu Lu Qi as he stared at Zhu Lu Qi's eyes that had turned dim before he asked indifferently, ”Who are you?”

”Zhu Lu Qi.” Zhu Lu Qi whose eyes had lost their light seemed like the walking dead. As soon as he heard Li An's question, he instantly answered him without any hesitation.

”Who's Duan Ling Tian?” Li An asked again.

”My friend,” Zhu Lu Qi replied.

”What's his background? Where did he come from?” Li An asked again. This time a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes. This was what he wanted to know the most.

As long as he could find information about Duan Ling Tian's background, he could pass the information to Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect. Naturally, Yang Chong would deal with all the people who had connections to Duan Ling Tian.

Perhaps, if they capture Duan Ling Tian's close friends and families, he might be able to force Duan Ling Tian to leave the Fire Worship Sect!

Once Duan Ling Tian left the Fire Worship Sect, he would become like meat on their chopping boards. They would be able to kill him however they liked!
