Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The middle-aged man who seemed as though he had materialized out of thin air was the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect, Ye Feng.
“Tell me. Who are you, and what are you doing in my sect?” Ye Feng asked in his deep voice as he looked at the purple-clad youth young man before him with a slight frown on his face.
It if it was not for the purple-clad young man’s composure, he would have attacked and killed him from the very beginning.
As a Devil Cultivator, it was undoubtedly a big humiliation to him for someone to break into his sect and the place he cultivated in.
However, the purple-clad young man’s composure made him wary. Who knew if the purple-clad young man had an extraordinary ident.i.ty. If that was the case, the one who would suffer eventually would be him and the Dark Nether Sect if he had killed him.
“I’m Duan Ling Tian,” Duan Ling Tian said lightly as he looked at Ye Feng calmly.
Duan Ling Tian!
Ye Feng’s eyes widened when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He was familiar with the name Duan Ling Tian. This person had suddenly become the Interim Advisor of the Situ Clan a few months ago. He was known as Master Duan, and he became famous after curing the Great Young Master of Situ Clan, Situ Hang. After that, he had challenged and defeated Lady Feng of Drift Blaze Sect who was ranked 23rd in the Heaven Ranking. From a n.o.body, he became a top-ranking powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking.
Currently, Duan Ling Tian had already become a household name in Windfall Nation. As the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect, Ye Feng, naturally, had heard of Duan Ling Tian. Apart from that, he also knew Duan Ling Tian was a thorn in the Second Master of Situ Clan, Situ Ming’s side.
Due to Duan Ling Tian saving the Great Young Master of Situ Clan, Situ Hang’s life, the Second Young Master of Situ Clan, Situ Zhuo, had lost the chance the inherit the position of Clan Leader in the sect. In other words, Duan Ling Tian had ruined the plans of those on Situ Ming’s side.
Although the rivalry between Situ Ming’s faction and the Clan Leader Situ Hao’s faction an open secret to those in the know, Situ Ming would not fight Situ Hao directly. This was because it would eventually lead to the loss of Situ Clan as a whole. No matter which faction won, it would not be a real victory.
The gain real victory, they had to take control of Situ Clan without any bloodshed.
Secretly trying to a.s.sa.s.sinate Situ Hang was undoubtedly a shortcut that Situ Ming’s faction had taken. However, their plan was foiled by Duan Ling Tian’s appearance. That was how Duan Ling Tian had become the bane of their existence.
The Sect Leader and Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect had sworn on the lightning penalty oath and pledged allegiance to Situ Ming’s faction because they had once received help from Situ Ming’s father. This was why the Dark Nether Sect was considered to be in Situ Ming’s faction even though they were not from the Situ Clan. The thorn in Situ Ming’s side was also, naturally, a thorn in Ye Feng’s side.
“You’re the Interim Adviser of Situ Clan, Master Duan?” When Ye Feng looked at Duan Ling Tian again, his eyes shone coldly. He asked in his deep voice, “Master Duan, our Dark Nether Sect and Situ Clan usually don’t interfere with each other’s businesses. Why did you break into the Dark Nether Sect today?”
“Since you’re the Sect Leader, don’t you wish to kill me as soon as you can?” There was a slight smile on Duan Ling Tian’s face.
Ye Feng was shocked when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, he did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to read his mind. Although he did have such thoughts, he had taken care not to reveal it on his face.
He was fairly confident about his ability to control the expression on his face.
‘Based on his att.i.tude, it doesn’t seem like he’s blindly guessing… It seems like he already knows about the relations.h.i.+p between the Situ Clan and the Dark Nether Sect. Did he come with Situ Hao’s people? Is their purpose of coming here to annihilate the sect?’ Ye Feng became even more cautious when he thought about all this.
However, Ye Feng acted as though he oblivious. He frowned and asked in confusion, “Master Duan, what do you mean by that?”
Duan Ling Tian’s expression remained unchanged as he spat out two words, “Situ Ming.”
These two words caused Ye Feng’s eyes to widen. He instantly began to observe his surrounding, extending his Divine Consciousness to check if there were hidden powerhouses hiding and waiting in the dark for an opportunity to attack.
At the same time, he crushed a jade token as he lifted his arms. A stream of light quickly shot toward a mountain in the distance.
“Stop looking around. I’m alone. The Clan Leader and his people are not here.” When Duan Ling Tian saw Ye Feng’s action, he figured out his thoughts immediately.
“You’re alone?” Ye Feng, naturally, did not believe Duan Ling Tian’s words. Not only did he not believe it, but he became even more cautious. He did not think Duan Ling Tian would come alone since he knew about the Dark Nether Sect’s relations.h.i.+p with Situ Ming’s faction. Duan Ling Tian would just be seeking death if he had come here alone. Duan Ling Tian did not look like someone who would carelessly seek for death.
When Duan Ling Tian saw how wary Ye Feng was and his disbelief, he only waited quietly.
He had seen Ye Feng’s action earlier. He knew that Ye Feng had summoned someone. The one he had summoned was most likely the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect.
Indeed, just a moment later, the air next to Ye Feng rippled before an elderly figure appeared. It was an old man with messy grey hair that rested on his shoulders, and he was dressed in an ordinary robe. His eyes contained a hint of bloodl.u.s.t and coldness. His expression was fierce, and he did not seem like a normal human being at all. Naturally, he was also exuding an oppressive aura. However, his aura was only oppressive for ordinary people, it did not affect Duan Ling Tian at all.
“The Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect?” Duan Ling Tian asked nonchalantly as he looked at the old man.
However, the old man ignored him. He looked at Ye Feng who was standing next to him instead. “Sect Leader, you summoned me in such a hurry? Is there something wrong?”
Ye Feng searched the surrounding with his Divine Consciousness and did not find anything. He said to the old man in a low voice, “Elder Peng. This is the new Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Duan Ling Tian.”
“Duan Ling Tian?!” It was obvious the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect had heard of Duan Ling Tian’s name. He narrowed his eyes instantly and the bloodl.u.s.t in his eyes intensified when he learned about Duan Ling Tian’s ident.i.ty. His body also began to exude a cold killing intent. At this moment, he was a like a bloodthirsty poisonous snake!
