Chapter 1874: The Powerhouse from the Upper Province

‘Tian Wu, are you doing well?’ When Duan Ling Tian recalled Feng Tian Wu and their past, he became even more worried about her since her location was still unknown to him.

However, he quickly regained his senses when he discovered that Xiao Lan and Bi Yao were still standing in front of him.

“Not only do I have to find Ke’er, but I have to find Tian Wu as well. I’m not in the mood to get into any relationship with any women before I find them. Even when I find them, I’ll still have to ask for Little Fei’er and the others’ opinion about the matter regarding both of you and me,” Duan Ling Tian said. When he reached the end of his sentence, he found it difficult to look them in the eyes.

When Xiao Lan and Bi Yao heard his words, they exchanged a look. They could see the bitterness in each other’s eyes. However, this was their own choice so they did not regret it! Whether it was the current Duan Ling Tian or the Duan Ling Tian from the past, he was the man they had set their hearts on. They would not marry anyone else but him in this lifetime! They would rather remain alone for the rest of their lives if they could not marry him.

“I still have some matters to attend to so I’ll take my leave first.” Duan Ling Tian knew his words were harsh. When he felt the tense atmosphere, he looked for an excuse to leave.

At the same time, regrets filled his heart. He felt sorry toward Xiao Lan and Bi Yao. He did not wish for things to end up like this! However, this was the only option he could think of. Both of them were equally important to him. It was a difficult decision for him.

‘If we’re destined to be together, I’ll make it up to both of you in the future,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself after he left.

During the next few days, Duan Ling Tian accompanied his wife and son until he was interrupted by someone coming to challenge him!

“Young Mansion Master, I heard you’ve defeated the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, Di Jue, who was at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage, even though your cultivation base is at the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage? I’d like to have a friendly match with you. I wonder if it’s convenient for you?” The person who came to look for Duan Ling Tian was none other than the Leader of the Black Armored Army, Centurion Tong Zhong. Apart from being the Centurion of the Black Armored Army, he was also Ku Mi’s direct disciple and was widely acknowledged as the strongest person below the Exemplary Saint Stage in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land before Duan Ling Tian defeated Di Jue with his cultivation base at the Divine Saint Stage!

As news of Duan Ling Tian’s victory spread, the title of being the strongest person below the Exemplary Saint Stage had shifted to Duan Ling Tian instead.

“Centurion Tong, you would like to have a friendly match with me?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he heard Tong Zhong’s words.

In his opinion, although Tong Zhong was powerful, he was only at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage.

Perhaps, Tong Zhong was a lot stronger than all the Martial Cultivators and member of the dragon clan at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. However, he did not stand a chance in winning at all if he were to fight someone at the Exemplary Saint Stage or above! Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian did not think Tong Zhong was a match for him.

“I know I’m not your match, Young Mansion Master. However, after I heard about how you defeated Di Jue from Master, I feel really eager to have a match with you. Currently, I only lack a chance of breaking through to the Exemplary Saint Stage. Perhaps, the chance might come from our match, Young Mansion Master,” Tong Zhong said, explaining the reason he came to challenge Duan Ling Tian.

Although nothing was certain, he still wanted to give it a try. He did not want to miss even the smallest chance to make a breakthrough.

“Since you’re so eager, I’ll, naturally, agree to Centurion Tong’s request!” Duan Ling Tian immediately agreed to Tong Zhong’s request when he heard his explanation.

Since the other person was not an outsider, he would, naturally, help if it was within his capability. He was not so petty as to reject such a small request.

“Thank you, Young Mansion Master!” Tong Zhong was delighted when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

“Pick a place,” Duan Ling Tian said to Tong Zhong.

Tong Zhong nodded before he set the venue on the surface of the Crouching Dragon Lake that was situated ten miles away to the north of the Main Mansion.

Although Duan Ling Tian and Tong Zhong did not speak about their friendly match to anyone, the Black Armored Guards stationed at the Crouching Dragon Lake had spread the news about it. Therefore, a large group of people was already there before they even began their match.

The majority of the spectators from the Black Armored Army.

“He’s the Young Mansion Master of our Azure Cloud Mansion?” Many eyes were looking at Duan Ling Tian. Some of them contained shock, but most of them contained respect.

Although Duan Ling Tian had been in the Azure Cloud Mansion for quite some time, in order to avoid trouble due to the Devilseal Tablet in his possession, not many people knew he was the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion.

However, when news of Duan Ling Tian going to the dragon clan to fulfill the five-year pact spread, the people from the Azure Cloud Mansion were shocked. It was only then they realized the Azure Cloud Mansion had a Young Mansion Master. Not only that, but their Young Mansion Master had inherited their Mansion Master’s innate talent. He was only so young, but his cultivation base was already at the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage.

Moreover, they even heard their Young Mansion Master had killed Di Jue, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon from the dragon clan, even though his cultivation base was only at the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage. They even heard Di Jue’s cultivation base was at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage!

Defeating someone at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage with just a cultivation base at the Intermediate Divine Saint Stage was so far-fetched that they would not have believed it if it did not happen.

Since this news was spread by the dragon clan and the person involved was their Young Mansion Master, they did not doubt the authenticity of the news at all. They were just shocked. After all, not everyone would be able to do this!

“Young Mansion Master is someone who could even kill a Five-clawed Golden Dragon at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage! Isn’t Centurion Tong just looking for trouble by challenging him?”

“That’s right! Centurion Tong is widely acknowledged as the strongest person below the Exemplary Saint Stage prior to this. Currently, the title has been given to Young Mansion Master. Is this the reason why Centurion Tong challenged Young Mansion Master? Could he be unhappy about this matter?”

“Hurmph! So what if he challenges Young Mansion Master? He’d only humiliate himself in the end!”

“I can’t believe our Azure Cloud Mansion would have such an outstanding Young Mansion Master! With him around, Azure Cloud Mansion will still have its glory for several hundred more years!”

The crowd of Black Armored Guards and some ordinary Azure Cloud Mansion’s elders and disciples discussed among themselves. They were filled with confidence toward Duan Ling Tian. As for Tong Zhong, he no longer seemed to shine as brightly as before.

“I heard our Azure Cloud Mansion’s Young Mansion Master is that young man called Duan Ling Tian who possesses the Devilseal Tablet!”

“The Devilseal Tablet is an item everyone covets. If news of this spread out, I’m afraid the Azure Cloud Mansion wouldn’t be peaceful anymore.”

“That’s right! Even powerhouses from the Upper Province will definitely make their moves to snatch it when they learn that our Young Mansion Master possesses the Devilseal Tablet. For this reason, it’s not a good thing for the Azure Cloud Mansion that Young Mansion Master has the Devilseal Tablet in his possession.”

Many people’s expressions contained a hint of dread. They were all eager to persuade Duan Ling Tian to throw the Devilseal Tablet away!

After all, the Devilseal Tablet was one of the ten great Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking and was extremely valuable. It was due to this reason that many people coveted it, and this included powerhouses from the Upper Province as well.

Many people from the Azure Cloud Mansion felt a sense of danger as though they had a bullseye painted on their backs!

Soon after, the crowd’s attention shifted back to the two people. This was because one of them had finally begun to make his move.

Whoosh!

It was Tong Zhong, the Centurion of the Black Armored Army, who made the first move. He charged toward Duan Ling Tian like a bolt of lightning.

Put everything else aside, based on the speed he displayed, nobody at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage was a match for him.

“As expected of someone widely acknowledged as the strongest person below the Exemplary Saint Stage. I think nobody below the Exemplary Saint Stage can compare to his speed!” A hint of admiration appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s eyes when he saw Tong Zhong’s speed. Then, in a manner that was neither hurried nor slow, he made his move as well.

Bang!

Duan Ling Tian clenched his right hand and threw a punch that contained Sun True Origin without any fancy moves. His speed was lightning fast as it charged directly at Tong Zhong who was flying rapidly in his direction.

Tong Zhong did not choose to evade the attack. Instead, he chose to meet Duan Ling Tian’s punch directly.

Bam!

Although Tong Zhong had used all his strength, the moment his fist collided with Duan Ling Tian’s fist, whether it was his punch or the energy contained in his punch, they were all mercilessly overpowered by Duan Ling Tian.

Tong Zhong’s body trembled before he was sent flying, throwing up a mouthful of blood, as his energy was suppressed. He appeared extremely wretched.

With just one blow, fist versus fist, Tong Zhong had already fallen into a disadvantageous position. Tong Zhong then made his move again, but he did not dare to be arrogant or reckless.

He used his Territory, martial tactics, and a medium-grade Divine Ability that he had just mastered no too long ago. Indeed, at this moment, Tong Zhong was fighting with all his might.

However, in front of Duan Ling Tian, he was still weak. Although Duan Ling Tian showed mercy, he still defeated Tong Zhong in within ten moves. After all, his strength was no longer like before.

Just his Sun True Origin alone that was at the Eminent Saint Stage was comparable to the strength of a powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage. Coupled with Duan Ling Tian’s superior physique without even transforming into a Dragon Warrior and his other techniques, it was impossible that Tong Zhong was a match for him. Moreover, he did not use any of his Divine Abilities. If he used his Divine Abilities, it would only take him a move to defeat Tong Zhong.

While Duan Ling Tian was engaged in a friendly match with Tong Zhong, in the frontier land to the east of the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, in a restaurant in a town of moderate size, news about the Young Mansion Master Young of Azure Cloud Mansion possessing the Devilseal Tablet began to spread.

“The Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ling Tian? I’ve waited several years, I finally found a clue. Looks like my trip to the Lower Province is not in vain…” At a table in the corner of the restaurant, a middle-aged man who was dressed in a grayish-white long robe stood up.

This man had crossed-eyes and appeared fierce. With just a glance, one could tell he was not a friendly person.

In the next instant, he vanished from the restaurant. Nobody saw how he left. In fact, nobody had noticed his departure at all.

Meanwhile, at the frontier to the east of the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, a streak of light moved in the direction of the Azure Cloud Mansion at lightning speed.
