Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

King Qian noticed Ye Feng’s loss of composure immediately. His eyes brightened as he asked, “What? Do you know him?”

When he received the portrait from Ye Mu Bai, he did not think he would be able to find the person in the portrait, let alone seeking revenge from him.

However, when Ye Feng lost his composure when he saw the portrait that dropped on the floor, he realized Ye Feng might know the person in the portrait.

‘This Ye Feng really seems like my lucky star,’ King Qian thought to himself.

Ye Feng calmed himself down after taking a deep breath. When he heard King Qian’s question, he asked in shock, “Fourth Imperial Highness, isn’t this the portrait of the Duan Ling Tian, the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan?”

Based on King Qian’s words, he realized that King Qian had never seen Duan Ling Tian before.

However, if he had never seen Duan Ling Tian before, why would he have Duan Ling Tian’s portrait in his hand?

The more Ye Feng thought about it, the more confused he became.

“What?! He’s Interim Advisor Duan Ling Tian from the Situ Clan?” King Qian was stunned when he heard Ye Feng’s words. “The man that Ye Mu Bai wants me to kill is Interim Advisor Duan Ling Tian from the Situ Clan? The one who possesses the Devilseal Tablet?”

“Isn’t this too coincidental?” The two old men behind King Qian looked at each other in confusion.

“Fourth Imperial Highness, this is…” Ye Feng was unaware of the entire matter.

After one of the old men behind King Qian explained it to him, he finally understood what was going on. His eyes lit up immediately. “How is it so coincidental?”

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of everything that was happening in King Qian’s estate. He was unaware that, at this moment, he was already being targeted by someone. Moreover, the person who was targeting him was someone strong who held a high position in the Windfall Nation.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was bringing Feng Wu Dao to the Drift Blaze Sect.

After he came to the Drift Blaze Sect to challenge Feng Tian Wu, most of the people from the sect had seen him. Due to this reason, when he arrived at the Drift Blaze Sect’s monastery gate, it did not take long for the sect’s disciples guarding the monastery gate to recognize him.

If Duan Ling Tian had merely defeated their Drift Blaze Sect’s Lady Feng, they might not be bothered with him. However, based on the situation previously, it seemed like this Master Duan, the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, had a profound relationship with their sect’s Lady Feng.

Due to this reason, the Drift Blaze Sect’s disciples did not dare to be discourteous and greeted him politely, “Master Duan.”

“I’m here to look for Lady Feng and your Sect Leader,” Duan Ling Tian said to them.

Duan Ling Tian had mentioned the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect because he wanted to introduce Feng Wu Dao to her so she would take care of Feng Wu Dao too.

“This way please, Master Duan.” Soon after, a Drift Blaze Sect’s disciple guided them and brought them into the sect.

During the journey, a lot of Drift Blaze Sect’s disciples saw Duan Ling Tian. A commotion broke out as they discussed the purpose of him coming to their sect again.

“Why is this Situ Clan’s Interim Advisor Duan Ling Tian coming to our Drift Blaze Sect again?”

“He has a special relationship with Lady Feng. Isn’t normal for him to visit?”

“That’s right! It’s normal for young couples to meet.”

As the discussion progressed, many of the male disciples from Drift Blaze sect had a dejected expression on their faces. The strongest powerhouse among the younger generation in their sect and also the most beautiful woman in the sect had been taken by an outsider. This was undoubtedly sad news for them.

Feng Wu Dao could not help but glance at Duan Ling Tian when he heard the Drift Blaze Sect’s disciples’ discussion.

Although Duan Ling Tian already had two fiancées who were pregnant and might have already given birth, he really wished his daughter would end up together with Duan Ling Tian.

He believed his daughter would not be treated badly if she followed Duan Ling Tian since he was a responsible person after all.

When the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, Zi Yun, heard about Duan Ling Tian’s visit, she came out to personally welcome him.

“Sect Leader Zi Yun,” Duan Ling Tian greeted Zi Yun before his eyes swept over the surroundings. He did not see Feng Tian Wu at all. “Sect Leader Zi Yun, where’s Tian Wu?”

“Tian Wu is in the midst of closed-door cultivation,” Zi Yun replied, “She will be going into closed-door cultivation a few times in the future. It’s related to her breakthrough so it’s better not to disturb her unless it’s something really urgent.” Based on her words, it seemed like she was warning Duan Ling Tian to not disrupt Feng Tian Wu’s cultivation.

Although she did not have any objection about Feng Tian Wu’s love for Duan Ling Tian, she did not think their future was very promising.

In her opinion, Feng Tian Wu would definitely soar up into the sky now that she had obtained the legacy of the Seven Absolutes Sect’s Blazing Phoenix Progeny. She would eventually surpass Duan Ling Tian and leave him in the dust. At that time, even if Feng Tian Wu’s feelings for him remained the same, he might not even want to be with her. Although she did not spend much time with Duan Ling Tian, she could tell he was a prideful man.

“Good day to you, Sect Leader Zi Yun.” At this moment, Feng Wu Dao also bowed at Zi Yun as a sign of greeting. At the same time, he told Duan Ling Tian, “Ling Tian boy, since Tian Wu is at the critical juncture of her cultivation, let’s not disturb her for the time being.”

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Zi Yun had long noticed Feng Wu Dao. Moreover, she felt a sense of familiarity with Feng Wu Dao’s eyes. When he finally spoke up, she could not help but look at Duan Ling Tian and asked, “And this is…?”

“This is Uncle Feng, Tian Wu’s biological father,” Duan Ling Tian said to Zi Yun.

“I, Feng Wu Dao, thank you for taking care of Tian Wu all these years, Sect Leader Zi Yun,” Feng Wu Dao expressed his gratitude as he bowed to Zi Yun again.

Tian Wu’s biological father!

Zi Yun’s eyes brightened immediately when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. When she saw Feng Wu Dao bowing, she quickly extended her True Origin to lift him up.

“So you’re Tian Wu’s father. Tian Wu spoke about you many times throughout the years.” When faced with Feng Wu Dao, Zi Yun’s attitude was completely different. Not only was she friendly, but she was smiling as well. It seemed as though she was a completely different person.

‘Look at this treatment…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he shook his head.

After Zi Yun brought Feng Wu Dao to the meeting hall, she invited him to take a seat before she sat down. She smiled at him and said, “You have an amazing daughter.”

“You’re the one who has taught her well, Sect Leader Zi Yun,” Feng Wu Dao replied humbly.

Soon after, Zi Yun and Feng Wu Dao became more at ease with each other as they continued to talk. Zi Yun listened with great interest as Feng Wu Dao spoke about Feng Tian Wu’s past.

It seemed like Duan Ling Tian had been forgotten and reduced to an escort instead.

After 30 minutes, Feng Wu Dao finally remembered Duan Ling Tian. He chuckled awkwardly as he said to Zi Yun, “Actually, it’s all thanks to Ling Tian boy that I managed to escape from the Dark Nether Sect.”

“The Dark Nether Sect?” Zi Yun frowned “What happened?”

Feng Wu Dao began to recount the story of how he was captured and enslaved by the Dark Nether Sect.

“How bold of the Dark Nether Sect!” Zi Yu smirked. “How dare they capture and enslave my direct disciple’s father! This Ye Feng’s really brave! Mister Feng, don’t worry, I, Zi Yun, will definitely seek revenge on your behalf!”

“It’s alright.” Upon hearing that, Feng Wu Dao shook his head.

“Don’t tell me you don’t believe me, Mister Feng?” Zi Yun frowned.

“You’ve misunderstood. I said it’s alright because the Dark Nether Sect has ceased to exist except in name only. The Dark Nether Sect’s Supreme Elder is dead, and the Sect Leader has run away. Even if you go to the Dark Nether Sect’s estate to seek revenge, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find the culprit,” Feng Wu Dao quickly explained.

Zi Yun was stunned. After she looked at Duan Ling Tian, she asked again, “What do you mean?”

Her Drift Blaze Sect was only inferior to the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family. The information she possessed was terrifying as well. Naturally, she knew about the connection between the Dark Nether Sect and Situ Clan. Due to this reason, she knew it was almost impossible for the Situ Clan to help Duan Ling Tian in regards to the Dark Nether Sect.

Initially, Feng Wu Dao wanted to tell the truth. However, after he heard Duan Ling Tian’s Voice Transmission, he quickly changed the story. “I don’t really know much, but it seems like a few powerhouses came to the Dark Nether Sect and killed the sect’s Supreme Elder, causing the Sect Leader to run away. At that moment when chaos descended on the sect, Ling Tian boy came and seized the opportunity to save us.”

Although Feng Wu Dao did not know why Duan Ling Tian did not want him to tell the truth, he knew Duan Ling Tian must have his own reason for doing so. From the beginning until now, he had grown to trust Duan Ling Tian. Due to this reason, he would do as he was told.

Duan Ling Tian, naturally, had his own reason for asking Feng Wu Dao to change the story. It would not be beneficial for him since he was only at Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator if everyone knew he was the one who killed the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect.

The fact that a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator was able to kill a Saint Stage powerhouse was just too inconceivable.

Although most people would not think of the Devilseal Tablet, if the news spread out, there would be people who were curious about the technique he had used to kill a Saint Stage powerhouse. At that time, those people would probably swarm toward him and annoy him to death.

It was acceptable to him if he was annoyed to death. However, he was more afraid of a powerhouse coming to look for him and forcing him to tell the truth. If that happened, how should he deal with it?

The fact that Ye Feng, the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect, is still alive means danger is just lurking around the corner.’ The moment he recalled Ye Feng knew he possessed the Devilseal Tablet, he felt his heart drop.

He had an ominous feeling that Ye Feng would definitely bring trouble to him since he knew that he possessed the Devilseal Tablet.

“I see.” After hearing Feng Wu Dao’s explanation, Zi Yun finally understood what had happened. “In that case, all of you are really lucky… As for the powerhouses who killed the Dark Nether Sect’s Supreme Elder and caused the Sect Leader to run away, I’m sure they’re people the sect had offended. The Dark Nether Sect doesn’t have a good reputation in Windfall Nation. They’re known for their evil deeds that know no boundary. It seems like they finally met with a disaster!”

It did not cross Zi Yun’s mind that the disaster she spoke of was actually Duan Ling Tian who was standing in front of her!
