Zheng Fan shook his head, "Do you think that a mere outer sect elder from Tianquan Peak has the ability to turn the outer sect martial arts contest I hosted into a 'battle of life and death'?"

Duan Lingtian was startled, "The outer martial arts competition was temporarily changed to a 'battle of life and death'. Is it related to Zhao Lin?"

Zheng Fan nodded.

"Does he still have such great ability?"

Duan Lingtian frowned. Thinking of that outer martial arts competition, he also remembered that Zhao Lin was indeed present at that time.

Zhao Lin came with Shi Hao.

It wasn't until Shi Hao was killed that Zhao Lin left...

"It seems that that time, Zhao Lin must have colluded with Shi Hao and reached some kind of agreement with Shi Hao against me."

Soon, Duan Lingtian guessed many things.

Some of the doubts in the past were completely solved.

Zheng Fan shook his head, "If Zhao Lin is just an outer sect elder, he certainly won't have such great abilities... But the existence behind him is not simple."

Duan Lingtian could notice that when Zheng Fan said this, his expression became serious.

"Could it be that the sect leader is behind him?"

Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and asked.

Among the Seven Star Sword Sect, there are not many people who can make Zheng Fan fear him.

"Not the sect leader."

Zheng Fan shook his head, and while Duan Lingtian breathed a sigh of relief, he continued: "However, there is not much difference between that existence and the sect master."

Duan Lingtian's calmed down emotions started to fluctuate again, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Peak Master, don't be so secretive, just tell the truth."

"I'm not trying to show off, I just want you to understand the existence behind Zhao Lin."

Zheng Fan said that later, he took a deep look at Duan Lingtian and said, "I don't know, have you ever heard of the two 'Dharma Protector Elders' of our Seven Star Sword Sect?"

Protector elder?

In an instant, Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed and his face darkened, "Peak Master, you don't want to tell me that Zhao Lin is related to the guardian elder, right?"

Duan Lingtian had heard Lu Qiu mention them about the two guardian elders of the Seven Star Sword Sect.

Although he didn't know much about the guardian elders, he also knew that the two guardian elders' training places each occupied one of the nine spiritual acupoints of the Seven Star Sword Sect.

Not only that, the Protector Elder has a special status in the Seven Star Sword Sect, and to a certain extent, he can sit on an equal footing with the sect leader.

Moreover, because of their high seniority, even the master of the Seven Star Sword Sect would respectfully call them 'Uncle Master' when they see them.

"good."

Zheng Fan nodded, "Zhao Lin is one of the two guardian elders of our Seven Star Sword Sect, and the grandson of Elder Ming! Elder Ming lost his son in his early years, and he loves his only grandson very much."

"Just like the last time the rules of the outer sect martial arts competition suddenly changed, Zhao Lin went to find Elder Ming... Of course, he didn't tell Elder Ming that he would target you, he just said that he hoped that the outer sect martial arts competition would inspire the outer sect disciples.

Potential and the will to live.”

Inspire the potential and will to survive of outer disciples?

After hearing Zhao Lin's excuse, a sneer appeared on Duan Lingtian's lips.

That Zhao Lin, this excuse is quite high-sounding.

"I didn't expect that Zhao Lin had such a background... I thought he was just an ordinary outer sect elder."
