Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

Half an incense stick later, Bai Mu flew away and then returned, arriving at Duan Zhengchun's residence.

"Brother Duan, come with me."

Bai Mufei leaned against the door and smiled as he looked at Duan Zhengchun, who was drinking tea in the room.

Besides Duan Zhengchun, only Xiaolongnu remained in the room. Upon hearing Bai Mufeng's words, Xiaolongnu's expression changed slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

"where to?"

Duan Zhengchun remained expressionless and asked a question calmly.

"You're lucky, the sect leader wants to see you."

"The sect leader rarely shows himself to others. You are the first person below the elder level outside the Heavenly Gate to do so!"

Bai Mufeng looked at Duan Zhengchun and said seriously.

Duan Zhengchun nodded, stood up without hesitation, and walked directly towards the door.

Xiaolongnu anxiously got up and chased after him to the door, but Duan Zhengchun turned around and gave her a reassuring look, indicating that he was alright.

He was also very curious about what kind of person the sect leader of the largest sect in the Heavenly Domain would be.

Soon, Duan Zhengchun followed Bai Mufei into a grand hall. In addition to the two elders, Qinglong and Xuanwu, whom they had met at the beginning, there was an old man with white hair, wearing a green robe, and exuding an air of otherworldly elegance, sitting in the main seat.

Duan Zhengchun glanced at him and immediately understood that the old man in the green robe must be the leader of the Heavenly Gate, as he was already quite extraordinary in appearance.

"Master, the person has been brought."

Bai Mufei respectfully bowed to the old man in the green robe, then obediently stood aside and immediately gave Duan Zhengchun a wink.

"I've met senior."

Duan Zhengchun slowly took two steps forward and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

On the way here, Bai Mufei had specifically told him not to say the wrong thing.

"Did you save Yan'er?"

The old man in the green robe glanced at Duan Zhengchun and asked slowly. Although his tone was calm, it exuded an aura of majesty that made people dare not look him in the eye.

The Lord of Tianmen is indeed extraordinary!

"Yes."

Duan Zhengchun nodded, offering only a brief response.

He knew the saying that too much talk leads to mistakes, and before he could figure out the temperament of the Heavenly Gate Master, the best course of action was to remain silent.

Why save her?

The Heavenly Gate Master suddenly continued to ask questions.

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun felt a pang of anxiety and was somewhat surprised.

He originally thought the Tianmen Sect Master would be very grateful, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly ask such a question.

"It is only right and proper to help those in need when you see injustice on the road."

Duan Zhengchun paused for a moment, then said in a serious tone.

"You're not telling the truth!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the Tianmen Sect Master exposed Duan Zhengchun's lie, and a wave of pressure instantly swept over them!

After frowning, Duan Zhengchun slowly looked up at the Tianmen Sect Master. He immediately understood that as the sect master of the largest sect in the Tianyu, even if he couldn't see through a person like Master Tianzhi, he could certainly distinguish between loyalty and treachery, good and evil, and truth and lies.

Bai Mufei, standing to the side, also seemed a little nervous, constantly winking at Duan Zhengchun, signaling him to answer properly.

"Because she is beautiful, and she looks like an old friend of mine."

Duan Zhengchun stared straight at the Tianmen Sect Master and answered calmly once more.

Facing the oppressive aura emanating from the Heavenly Gate Master, he showed no fear, remaining neither humble nor arrogant.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mufei and the two elders, Qinglong and Xuanwu, were stunned almost simultaneously, glancing at the expressionless sect leader at the same time.

"It is truly unexpected that you were able to kill the Holy Son of the Holy Gate with the strength of a martial artist. You have to take a new look at this."

"But you have also incurred an irreconcilable enmity with the Holy Gate because of this, and other sects will not let you off the hook for what happened at Tianyu Pass. I heard that you also killed Elder Zhu Tongshan of the Lingwu Sword Sect."

"From now on, you will find it impossible to move an inch in the Heavenly Realm."

The leader of Tianmen looked at Duan Zhengchun and said thoughtfully.

Upon hearing that Duan Zhengchun had killed Zhu Tongshan, an elder of the Lingwu Sword Sect, Bai Mufei was stunned again, looking at Duan Zhengchun in surprise. He hadn't expected that he still didn't know Duan Zhengchun well enough.

"Some things have to be done. No matter how difficult the road is, we have to keep going, right?"

"As for who I've offended, I don't care. Some people have said more than once that I, a mortal, am just an ant in the Heavenly Realm, but I don't care."

"Even the smallest ant can devour a giant beast if pushed to the limit!"

Duan Zhengchun sneered and said arrogantly.

Upon hearing Duan Zhengchun's answer, the Tianmen Sect Master raised an eyebrow, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, and a faint smile finally appeared on his lips.

"You saved the people of Tianmen, so Tianmen owes you a favor. If you are willing, from today onwards you are a member of Tianmen."

"You are not a disciple in name only, but an elder. There are twelve elders in the Heavenly Gate, and from today onwards you will be the thirteenth."

The Tianmen Sect Master looked at Duan Zhengchun and said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mufei couldn't help but show joy and some surprise. He had already reported in detail to the sect leader about Duan Zhengchun's background and what had happened on Tianming Mountain, and he had also told the sect leader about his unauthorized invitation to Duan Zhengchun to enter Tianmen. The sect leader had agreed.

What he didn't expect was that the sect leader would directly give Duan Zhengchun the status of an elder, even a higher status than his own.

But Duan Zhengchun's next words almost made him stumble.

"I appreciate the sect leader's kindness."

"Brother Bai saved me once on Tianming Mountain. This time, let's call it even. I've never liked owing anyone anything."

Duan Zhengchun shook his head slightly and declined the invitation from the Tianmen Sect Master almost without thinking.

Everyone was stunned!

Entering the Heavenly Gate and becoming an elder is something countless people in the Heavenly Realm dream of, yet Duan Zhengchun rejected it so casually.

"You'd better think this through. If you become an elder of the Heavenly Gate, you can practice all the cultivation techniques in the sect at will. With the Heavenly Gate as your backer, no one will dare to easily oppose you from now on, and the matter of the Heavenly Domain Pass can be wiped clean."

The Heavenly Gate Master frowned, seemingly unwilling to give up.

“I was seriously injured on Mount Tianming and will never be able to cultivate again in this life.”

"So I can only appreciate the sect leader's kindness, but I'm sorry to disappoint you, senior."

Duan Zhengchun still refused.

"I know, but if I tell you, perhaps there are other ways for you to cultivate?"

The Heavenly Gate Master continued.

This is yet another huge temptation!

Duan Zhengchun was indeed tempted, but he still shook his head, because now was not the time to agree! The time was not yet ripe!

"Since that's the case, I don't want to force you. But since you're already on Tianyun Mountain, why not stay a few more days? Your injuries need to be healed."

After a moment of silence, the Heavenly Gate Master slowly said something and then waved to Bai Mufei.

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun's heart tightened instantly, and he glanced at the Tianmen Sect Master in surprise.

He did suffer internal injuries from fighting cultivators continuously, but he hid them very well and no one discovered them!

But unexpectedly, the Heavenly Gate Master saw right through him!

"Let's go."

Bai Mufei approached with some disappointment and gave him a wink.

Duan Zhengchun didn't speak, but clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Tianmen Sect Master, then turned and followed Bai Mufei out of the main hall.

"This kid is really something else. I like his temperament! He's just my type!"

After watching Duan Zhengchun's figure leave the main hall, Elder Qinglong smiled and turned to the sect leader of Tianmen, saying...

"he's mine!"

At this moment, Elder Xuanwu, who was usually silent, suddenly spoke while looking at the entrance of the main hall.

"What do you mean it's yours?!"

"Didn't you hear what the sect leader said? Even if that kid enters the Heavenly Gate, he'll still be the thirteenth elder, on par with you and me!"

"Don't try to take it from me! Or I'll get angry!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Qinglong immediately objected and shouted.

"Sect Master, if he agrees to join the Heavenly Gate, should we really use that method to restore his cultivation aptitude?"

Elder Xuanwu ignored Elder Qinglong's entanglement and turned to look seriously at the sect leader.

Upon hearing this, Elder Qinglong immediately became serious, looking at the sect leader with a solemn expression.

The Heavenly Gate Master did not answer. He stood up and walked directly to the back hall. After taking a few steps, he spoke again: "He is someone that even Master Tianzhi values, and he is also the only person in the Heavenly Temple in the past thousand years who has not been able to see through the destiny of heaven. He is destined to be extraordinary in the future!"

"How to get him to agree to join Tianmen before his cultivation aptitude is restored is up to the two of you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Gate Master walked into the back hall, leaving the Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise elders looking at each other in bewilderment.
