Chapter 1644: Feng Tian Wu’s Perseverance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Duan Ling Tian was heading to the Greenwave Han Mansion, a loaded piece of news spread out in the Windfall Nation. Not long after that, it took more than half of the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion by shock as well.
Of course, that was only because it was a short time since it was released.
After a while later, this news would definitely take the entire Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion by bafflement. Even the districts outside the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion would also be greatly astounded as well.
It was because this news was related to the Devilseal Tablet, one of the Ten Great Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapon Rankings in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Due to its special ability to suppress a Devil Cultivator, the Devilseal Tablet was a top-rated weapon even on the Ten Great Saint Weapon Rankings itself.
Its appearance was enough to make many people go berserk, and they included powerful Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivators too.
The news that had just spread out stated that King Qian, the prince of the Windfall Nation’s Imperial family, had obtained the Devilseal Tablet.
However, it was quickly followed by another piece of news stating that King Qian had sworn by the thunder penalty oath that he had not obtained the Devilseal Tablet at all. To top it off, the thunder penalty oath was impossible to fake!
The incident about Duan Ling Tian and Lin Dong’s Death Duel as well as the situation that time had also spread out eventually.
At once, Duan Ling Tian became a target for everyone. More than 90% of people decided that the Devilseal Tablet was still in his hand. However, n.o.body knew his whereabouts now.
Even so, this was not able to stop the pa.s.sion of many powerhouses heading to the Windfall Nation. To them, the news was spread out by humans and might be fake.
Only after they had seen King Qian sworn by the thunder penalty oath with their own eyes that they would believe that King Qian had not lied.
It was exactly because of this that for a long time, King Qian felt frustrated, incredibly frustrated. Once in a while, some impressive powerhouses that he dared not pick any trouble with would come and make him swear by the thunder penalty oath.
He had sworn by the same thunder penalty oath many times, so many times he could no longer keep track.
“Fourth Prince Imperial Highness, the Lin Clan members are here.” King Qian who had just sent a powerhouse away soon received another message.
When the messenger who had sent the news just entered the main palace, two people followed him at once. One of them was a middle-aged man who was dressed in a green robe while the other was an old man who followed behind him.
Right at that moment, the middle-aged man in green’s expression was grave and the gaze with which he looked at King Qian was filled with coldness.
At once, the King Qian estate guard who came to report the news also noticed the two men that were following him when he entered the main palace. After he turned around, he snarled angrily, “H-How could you two enter just like this by yourself? This is King Qian’s estate! How dare you be so rude!?”
Unfortunately, this would be the last sentence that he uttered in his entire life.
“Hmph!” Along with a condescending snort, the old man behind the middle-aged man in green finally made his move. Lifting his hand, a pointy sword solidified before it shot out.
Whoos.h.!.+
In the next instant, a swis.h.i.+ng sound that disappeared the moment it appeared resonated just as a b.l.o.o.d.y hole appeared between the brows of the King Qian estate guard. He collapsed immediately on the floor and died in a horrible manner.
“S-Senior Lin!” Upon seeing that middle-aged man in green, the color drained from King Qian’s face in the blink of an eye because he had seen this middle-aged man in green before! It was none other than Lin Zhan, the Third Master of the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion’s Lin Clan.
At the same time, he was also Lin Dong’s biological father.
“Zhu Xuan Qing, how do you plan to compensate me for this matter? Do you want to die alone or do you want your entire King Qian estate to die together with you?” Lin Zhan’s eyes gleamed with a flash of icy brilliance. His voice was so cold that it seemed to have originated from a boundless h.e.l.l, so cold that it made one felt as though one had fallen into a thawed hole.
Even though he had three sons — and the other two being more powerful than Lin Dong — Lin Dong was the most outstanding among them all. At a tender age, he had already taken first place in the Heaven Rankings and was known as the strongest person below the Saint Stage in the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion.
Therefore, when Lin Dong told him that he wanted to go to the Windfall Nation with Zhu Xuan Qing, the Fourth Prince King Qian of the Windfall Nation’s Imperial family, to deal with a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator, he did not stop him at all. He felt that n.o.body below the Saint Stage would be able to defeat his son in the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion district.
Nevertheless, after several months, a piece of tragic news spread from the Windfall Nation and gave him a taste of true heartache. His most beloved youngest son had died in the Windfall Nation!
After learning about this news, he immediately came to the Windfall Nation and to the capital, before going to King Qian’s estate.
His intention was simple — to get even with King Qian!
If it were not King Qian who had invited his son over, his son would not have been dead.
“Senior Lin, I’m also pained by the death of Master Lin. It has never crossed my mind that Duan Ling Tian actually possesses a strength that could defeat Master Lin. It has never even crossed my mind that after Master Li made a breakthrough to the Saint Stage, Duan Ling Tian would still be able to kill him!” Even though King Qian knew that this day would eventually come, now that it had come for real, he could not help but be filled with terror.
While King Qian was having a headache due to the arrival of Lin Zhan, Lin Dong’s father, many powerhouses had gone to the Windfall Nation as well. Their destination was the capital of the Windfall Nation.
As time continued to pa.s.s by, all of the powerhouses who had left King Qian’s estate changed their target to Duan Ling Tian instead.
“Junior Brother.” In the Situ Clan residence, Bai Li Hong was filled with worry.
At first, when he saw how his Junior Brother pa.s.sed the Devilseal Tablet to King Qian, he had also asked him and that time, he was told to take a long, hard look.
It was only until recently that he finally understood what his Junior Brother meant.
Apparently, his Junior Brother did not actually give that Devilseal Tablet to King Qian and that time, the scene that he had witnessed was merely a deceptive trick. The Devilseal Tablet was still with his Junior Brother.
Now that he learned that many powerhouses had started to search for Duan Ling Tian wantonly after leaving the King Qian estate, he could not help but break out in cold sweat for Duan Ling Tian.
Sima, Chen Shao Shuai, Xiong Quan, and the rest were worried about Duan Ling Tian as well.
In the forbidden area of the Drift Blaze Sect.
Above a volcano that was spouting magma, a figure suddenly walked out from the vast expanse of magma that appeared like torrents. Like a fiery elf, that figure walked out of the magma and was not harmed at all.
This was a woman in red who was ultimately beautiful. The moment she appeared, she seemed to make everything in the surroundings dim by comparison.
“I finally made a breakthrough! Is this the Saint Stage?” As the woman muttered, a gust of fiery red energy gushed out of her body. It even emitted a series of blazing hot aura like magma.
“Master is right. Once my cultivation method has broken through to the Saint Stage, it could really breed the fire-attribute True Origin,” the woman continued to mutter. Somehow, a smile crept upon her face.
“I can finally look for Big Brother Duan now. Yeah, I’ll go to look for Father first.” This fiery elf-like woman was none other than Lady Feng from the Drift Blaze Sect, Feng Tian Wu.
Before this, when Feng Tian Wu came out of her closed-door cultivation, she had already met Feng Wu Dao who remained behind in the Drift Blaze Sect.
That time, both father and daughter who had not seen each other for a long time were particularly emotional.
In order to be by Duan Ling Tian’s side as soon as possible, after accompanying her father for some time, Feng Tian Wu proceeded to bury herself in cultivation again. Only now did she finally make a breakthrough to the Saint Stage!
Because she had been in closed-door cultivation all along, she still had not learned about the incidents that had taken place outside.
Coincidentally, ever since he came to the Drift Blaze Sect, Feng Wu Dao, who dwelled in deep seclusion and rarely came out, also did not know what had happened outside.
It was only until when both father and daughter went to look for Zi Yun, the Drift Blaze Sect Leader, saying that they wanted to go look for Duan Ling Tian that they finally learned about the recent developments outside from Zi Yun.
“Lin Dong, the strongest powerhouse in the Heaven Rankings, who came from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion’s Lin Clan, has come to challenge Big Brother Duan?” After discovering about this, even Feng Tian Wu could not help but feel anxious for Duan Ling Tian.
Even though she had never had any contact with the strongest powerhouse in the Heaven Rankings before, she also knew that he had incredibly extraordinary strength. Otherwise, he would not have been widely acknowledged as the most powerful person under the Saint Stage in the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion district.
After learning that Duan Ling Tian had transformed his Territory into a sword and had a speed that surpa.s.sed Lin Dong’s, Feng Tian Wu smiled. “I can’t believe that Big Brother Duan actually has such immense strength.”
However, the moment she heard that Lin Dong had made a breakthrough to the Saint Stage in that critical moment, horror dawned on her right away.
Right then, the tide changed its course and she learned that Duan Ling Tian had taken the Devilseal Tablet out at that critical moment and s.h.i.+fted everyone’s attention, including Lin Dong’s.
At the same time, he killed Lin Dong!
With just one sword, Lin Dong who had made a breakthrough to the Saint Stage was killed by him.
“Big Brother Duan’s strength i-is actually this powerful?” Feng Tian Wu was taken aback by the strength that Duan Ling Tian demonstrated. Besides that, she also guessed that the Devilseal Tablet that Duan Ling Tian had taken out must be that incomplete stone tablet that he had lent to her before.
Last time, she did not know about the implication of that Devilseal Tablet but after coming to the Dao Martial Saint Land, she already learned that the tablet was one of the Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapon Rankings in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
“Has Big Brother Duan actually given the Devilseal Tablet to King Qian?” Upon hearing how Duan Ling Tian had pa.s.sed the Devilseal Tablet to King Qian, Feng Tian Wu frowned at once. Despite knowing that the reason her Big Brother Duan had done that was an improvised makes.h.i.+ft, she could still understand the reluctance that he felt at that time.
However, after learning that King Qian did not actually obtain the Devilseal Tablet and that it was most likely still with her Big Brother Duan, she smiled again.
When she heard that all sorts of powerhouses were currently searching for her Big Brother Duan and wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the Devilseal Tablet from him, she could not help but be bothered again.
“Father, Master, I want to go look for Big Brother Duan,” announced Feng Tian Wu with a determined look at Feng Wu Dao and Zi Yun.
“Tian Wu, I know what you’re feeling.” Zi Yun shook her head. “But do you know where is your Big Brother Duan now? Before he left, he didn’t even tell the people around him where he would go. Searching for him would be like finding a needle in a haystack.”
“I still want to try, Master.” Feng Tian Wu’s expression was filled with perseverance. Right then, she worried about Duan Ling Tian’s safety the most. It would be hard for her to be free of worry before she met him again.
“Tian Wu, I’ve told you before that you can’t leave the Drift Blaze Sect before you’ve made a breakthrough to the Saint Stage,” Zi Yun told the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect.
Due to the special mental cultivation method of the Blazing Phoenix Progeny, Feng Tian Wu’s aura was not exposed even though she had already broken through to the Saint Stage.
However, upon hearing Zi Yun’s words, she deliberately activated the True Origin inside her body. The aura that belonged to a Saint Stage powerhouse spread out at once.
