"Tao...Tao Yi..."
When Tao Ke saw Ling Tian's indifferent face, he suddenly couldn't even speak.
With a cold smile on his lips, Ling Tian turned over his hand and picked up the Heavenly Forbidden Sword.
The terrifying murderous intention bloomed unreservedly and was locked on Tao Ke.
"Do not kill me!"
Tao Ke was frightened and quickly begged Ling Tian for mercy.
He now knows that he is no match for Ling Tian.
Even if he wanted to escape, there was no way to escape from Ling Tian.
The only way to save his life is to beg for mercy.
"Give me a reason not to kill you."
Ling Tian pointed his sword at Tao Ke and said coldly.
"I'm your big brother."
Tao Ke thought for a moment and uttered a voice that almost only he could hear.
Thinking about it, he also knew that such a reason was not enough to convince Ling Tian to save his life.
"This reason is unacceptable!"
Ling Tian said indifferently, and the Heavenly Forbidden Sword in his hand suddenly stabbed out.
He didn't have time to waste time with Tao Ke, he had killed a hundred people.
On the other hand, killing Tao Ke was just fulfilling his promise to Tao Yi.
In itself, there is no grudge between him and Tao Ke.
call out!
The sword light flashed past, and Tao Ke barely made any resistance.
His chest was instantly penetrated by the Heavenly Forbidden Sword.
When Ling Tian drew his sword, his body immediately fell into a pool of blood.
Ling Tian didn't have time to clean up Tao Ke's body, turned around and looked at the fifth-level holy pattern arrays around him, and slowly stepped forward.
After groping for a while, we came to the sacred wall with the fifth volume of the Tianbao Atlas.
Immediately afterwards, he used the concept of dream thoughts to comprehend the contents of the fifth volume of Tianbao Tulu.
Time passes minute by minute.
The way of holy patterns evolved in Ling Tian's dream.
His attainments in holy patterns gradually improved.
In the blink of an eye, nearly twenty hours passed.
Ling Tian escaped from the dream and opened his eyes again.
In the pupils, there seemed to be the light of the holy pattern flickering.
His attainments in holy patterns finally reached the sixth level.
"It seems that I have no chance to become a seventh-level holy pattern master in one fell swoop."
Ling Tian didn't feel any joy because of his advanced attainments in holy patterns.
It took him too much time to study the fifth volume of the Tianbao Atlas.
Now, he can stay in the black tower for at most two or three hours.
It is still unknown whether the sixth volume of the Tianbao Atlas can be found, let alone the sixth volume of the Tianbao Atlas.
More than two hours later, Ling Tian was groping inside the sixth floor of the black tower.
The dense array of holy patterns around him suddenly moved.
The power of the holy pattern surges and fills the entire space.
It drowned everything, including Ling Tian's body.
Ling Tian's vision gradually blurred, and he temporarily fell into blindness.
A moment later, when he could see clearly again.
Found that he had left the black tower and appeared outside the black tower.
Other Tao family disciples who participated in the Black Tower trial also appeared one after another.
Even those who died in the Black Tower had their bodies taken out.
"Taoke!"
The second elder who was guarding outside the black tower discovered Tao Ke's body at a glance.
Every time there is a trial in the Black Tower, a disciple of the Tao family will basically die in the Black Tower.
The bodies of these dead Tao family members will also be transported away from the Black Tower.
Therefore, the second elder habitually looked at these corpses first to confirm who had died.
Among these fallen Tao family members, the one he least expected was Tao Ke.
After all, Tao Ke's attainments in holy patterns are considered outstanding among the Tao family's disciples.
The second elder's sudden exclamation attracted the attention of other people here. They all followed the second elder's gaze and saw the corpse on the ground with its chest penetrated.
Suddenly, everyone opened their mouths in surprise, as if they couldn't believe their eyes.
During this process, someone realized that the situation was serious and left the place as soon as possible to report the news of Tao Ke's death to Tao Zhan.
"Second Elder!"
Most people had not yet recovered, and there was an exclamation from the crowd.
Following everyone, they saw Tao Gui step out and come to the second elder. He frowned and said, "Tao Yi killed Tao Ze and Tao Jun in the black tower, and he asked the second elder to uphold justice."
"Um?"
The second elder's expression changed when he heard this, and he glanced at the other two corpses beside him.
The owners of these two corpses were clearly the Tao Ze and Tao Jun mentioned by Tao Gui.
Tao Ze and Tao Jun's attainments in holy patterns are not very high, but their martial arts talents are not weak.
The cultivation level of the Heavenly Emperor's first stage is already among the top ten among the younger generation of the Tao family.
Among the Tao family members who participated in the Black Tower trial this time, there were only a few who had the ability to kill Tao Ze and Tao Jun.
"Tao Yi, did you kill Tao Ze and Tao Jun?"
The second elder didn't doubt Tao Gui's words too much, but he still confirmed it to Ling Tian.
Ling Tian was capable of killing Tao Ze and Tao Jun, and he also had the courage to do such a thing.
But Ling Tian was a favored person by heaven and was favored by the ancestor of the Tao family, so it was not convenient for him to deal with it.
The second elder hoped that Ling Tian could deny it. In that case, Tao Gui's words alone would not be enough evidence. Even if he did not deal with Ling Tian, he would not be unable to step down.
"yes!"
Ling Tian didn't bother to guess the second elder's thoughts and admitted openly.
He answered simply and neatly, which immediately put the second elder in trouble.
Seeing Ling Tian's admission, Tao Gui took advantage of the situation to put pressure on the second elder and said, "Second elder! Tao Ze and Tao Jun are both core disciples of my Tao family. Tao Yi killed these two people for no reason and deserves a heavy punishment!"
"Severe punishment?"
The second elder frowned and was speechless.
Punishing Ling Tian severely was beyond the scope of his power.
If he offends the ancestor, he will also be in trouble.
"For no reason?"
Ling Tian couldn't help but laugh, and glanced at Tao Gui coldly, "I did kill Tao Ze and Tao Jun. However, did I kill them for no reason? Why I killed them, I think you know better than me. "
"snort!"
Tao Gui snorted coldly. Of course he would not reveal the fact that Tao Zhan had instigated them. He glared at Ling Tian and said, "Because you are cruel by nature!"
"Tao Yi!"
The second elder vaguely heard something from the conversation between Ling Tian and Tao Gui, and then confirmed to Ling Tian, "Did they want to kill you first, and you fought back in self-defense and killed them?"
"Roughly the same?"
Ling Tian didn't mean too much and agreed casually.
The second elder was thoughtful after hearing this, and then announced in public, "I will send someone to investigate this matter later!"
"Second Elder, do we still need to investigate?"
Tao Gui immediately became anxious after hearing this, and quickly said to the second elder, "Tao Yi has already admitted that he killed Tao Ze and Tao Jun."
He knew very well that if he didn't deal with Ling Tian now, he wouldn't deal with him again in the future.
The second elder said that he would send someone to investigate later, which meant that he was letting Ling Tian go.
"Of course we need to check!"
The second elder glared at Tao Gui, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, "It is impossible for Tao Yi to have no responsibility for killing Tao Ze and Tao Jun, but if there is a reason, he can be dealt with lightly. How to deal with it specifically will of course have to be investigated. Make another decision!"
