Of course, although Duan Lingtian thought so, he was not sure.
In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, even father and son could turn against each other, let alone a nephew.
"However, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan is really generous … A Four Star Divine Strider Talisman and a Four Star Golden Energy Talisman. Even I can't help but feel tempted. "
Indeed, Duan Lingtian was very tempted.
A Three Star Divine Strider Talisman would allow the user to possess the speed of a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage cultivator for a quarter of an hour.
The Three Star Golden Energy Talisman allowed its user to possess the defense of a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse for a quarter of an hour.
The Four Star Godly Strider Talisman and the Four Star Golden Energy Talisman, once used, would undoubtedly give one the speed and defense of a Saint Realm expert.
Although Duan Lingtian's current strength was strong, he still had to use the Jasper Celestial Sword to kill the weakest type of Saint Stage expert. Moreover, the price he had to pay was also very high. It could be said that he had to sacrifice 800 of his own men to kill 1000 of his enemies.
As for speed, even if he displayed the fastest speed with the Flying Sword formed by the Myriad Sword Territory, he would only be able to catch up to a Saint Stage expert. Compared to a Saint Stage expert, he was still inferior.
"I've just arrived at the capital of Windfall Nation, and I'm unfamiliar with the people and the place. Perhaps, this is an opportunity for me to establish myself in the capital of Windfall Nation temporarily."
Thinking of this, Duan Lingtian was even more tempted.
He had just arrived at the Windfall Nation's Capital. Whether it was to look for Bai Li Hong or to inquire about the force behind Han Xuenai, he would undoubtedly need connections.
However, the current him had no connections at all.
The matter of the Situ Clan's Eldest Young Master being possessed gave Duan Lingtian an opportunity.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian was 80% certain that the Great Young Master of Situ Clan was indeed affected by the Devil Inscription. That was why he was bewitched.
The jade slip that recorded the 'Strange Inscription Art' also had a description of the demonic inscriptions. At the same time, there was also a method to break it.
Moreover, according to the two middle-aged men, the Devil Inscription on the Situ Clan's Eldest Young Master did not seem to be anything special.
However, even if it was not a very impressive Demon Inscription, if one did not know how to crack it, even a Nine-Star Saint Inscription Master would not be able to crack it.
"A black mark in the shape of a spider … Could it be the 'Yin Spider Devil Mark'?"
Duan Lingtian muttered.
In the jade slip that recorded the Strange Inscription Technique, there was also an introduction to some common Devil Inscriptions and a way to crack them.
It just so happened that there were records of the Shadow Spider Devil Pattern. It was a type of one star Devil Pattern and belonged to the most superficial type of Devil Pattern.
Of course, if it was not for the fact that Duan Lingtian had mastered the Strange Inscription Art, he would not have carefully read the information behind the jade token and would not have known about the existence of the Devil Inscription.
Duan Lingtian was sure that although Bai Li Hong had seen the information in the jade slip, he definitely hadn't found any demonic patterns.
That was because the information about mageweaths wasn't very eye-catching in the jade slip. If one couldn't grasp the basic Strange Pattern Technique recorded in the information at the beginning, most people wouldn't read the pile of complicated information at the back because they would feel that it was a waste of time.
If it was not for the fact that Duan Lingtian had mastered the Strange Inscription Art, he was certain he would have missed the records about the Devil Inscription at the back.
'I'll go to the Situ Clan to have a look … However, if I can confirm that it's really the Windfall Nation's Emperor who wants to kill the Great Young Master of Situ Clan, it's better for me not to get involved in this mess. I've just arrived at the capital of Windfall Nation, and I haven't even done what I'm supposed to do. It's not a good thing if I offend the Windfall Nation's Emperor. '
After casually eating some dishes and wine, Duan Lingtian walked out of the restaurant after paying the bill. He began to plan in his heart.
After asking around about the Situ Clan's location, Duan Lingtian made his way to the Situ Clan.
As one of the few big clans in the capital of Windfall Nation that was only second to the Imperial Family, the Situ Clan's mansion was extremely grand. It occupied a vast area and was not much smaller than the Moon Illumination Sect's estate.
In fact, the Moon Illumination Sect's estate was located in the wilderness.
On the other hand, the Situ Clan's mansion was located in the capital of Windfall Nation where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.
Due to the fact that the sixth-grade Saint Stone Vein owned by the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family was located under the Imperial Palace in the capital of Windfall Nation, the cultivation environment in the capital was very good. Coupled with the seventh-grade Saint Stone Vein under the Situ Clan's mansion, the cultivation environment in the Situ Clan was far better than the cultivation environment in the Moon Illumination Sect.
At the entrance of the Situ Clan, after a group of Situ Clan's guards learned about the purpose of Duan Lingtian's visit, one of them immediately went in to report.
Soon after, an old man appeared. The Situ Clan's guard who had gone in to report was standing behind him.
The old man had an ordinary appearance, but there was a shrewd gleam in his eyes. With just a glance, one could tell he was not a simple person.
"Are you confident?"
The moment the old man came out, he did not say anything. He just stared at Duan Lingtian's eyes as though he wanted to see if Duan Lingtian was confident or not.
Upon hearing the old man's words, Duan Lingtian's expression remained unchanged. His gaze did not change as well. He only said indifferently, "Instead of asking me if I'm confident or not, why don't you bring me in to see your Great Young Master? Shouldn't all of you be treating a dead horse as if it's still alive?"
The moment Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, the old man's face turned grave. "Are you comparing my Young Master to a horse?"
The group of Situ Clan's guards immediately glared at Duan Lingtian with hostility. It was as though they would attack Duan Lingtian as soon as the old man gave the order.
"It seems like the Situ Clan isn't that anxious. Forget it, just pretend I didn't come here."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and turned around to leave.
However, the moment Duan Lingtian turned around, the old man blocked his path and said coldly, "Do you think you can just let this slide after insulting my Young Master? Do you really think there's no one in the Situ Clan? "
"Scram!"
Duan Lingtian frowned as he slowly spat out a word.
Just when Duan Lingtian thought the old man would lose his temper and attack him, an unexpected scene occurred.
"Please."
Not only did the old man not lose his temper, but he even stepped aside and respectfully invited Duan Lingtian into the Situ Clan's estate.
Duan Ling Tian could not help but be stunned when he saw this.
Could it be that the people from the Situ Clan were born to be cheap? Why couldn't they not use force?
"Mister, I apologize for my rudeness earlier. I just wanted to confirm if you're really capable. After all, my Young Master's condition is not good now, and he can't afford to be hurt anymore. "
The old man seemed to have noticed Duan Lingtian's confusion. His eyes dimmed as he sighed.
"Now, are you sure I'm really capable?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the old man with a faint smile on his face.
"Just based on your confidence earlier, it's worth it for me to invite you in. Just as you said, we can only treat our Young Master's condition as if it's a dead horse."
The old man added.
"Lead the way."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Duan Lingtian was amused inwardly. However, he no longer put on a straight face.
As the saying went, 'One does not slap a smiling person'. Since the old man was so sincere, he would not leave just like that.
Moreover, if he wanted to gain a foothold in the capital of Windfall Nation, the Situ Clan was indeed his best choice.
After entering the Situ Clan, Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up when he saw the scenery.
As expected of a great clan in the capital of Windfall Nation. The decoration of the front courtyard was indeed refreshing. At the very least, the decorations of the other mansions that Duan Lingtian had been to were not as good as the Situ Clan's.
On the way, Duan Lingtian learned about the old man's identity.
The old man was the Situ Clan's outer mansion's supervisor.
Although the old man brought him into the Situ Clan, Duan Lingtian could tell the old man did not have much hope that he would be able to cure the Great Young Master of Situ Clan. He was just going through the motions.
As for the scene outside the mansion earlier, based on Duan Ling Tian's speculation, it must be a test set by the Situ Clan.
There was no need for someone who was not confident to come in.
This was the Situ Clan's attitude.
Under the old man's lead, Duan Lingtian passed through the Situ Clan's front courtyard and walked through a long corridor. In the end, he stopped in front of a wide door at the end of the corridor.
In front of the door, both Duan Lingtian and the old man were stopped.
"As expected of a great clan in Windfall Nation. The security is really tight."
Duan Ling Tian clicked his tongue in his heart. After all, no matter what, the person who brought him in was still the manager of the outer court, yet he was actually mercilessly stopped just like that.
"This mister is here to treat the Great Young Master … Send someone to bring this mister to see Supervisor Fu."
At this moment, the old man handed Duan Lingtian to the Situ Clan's disciple who was guarding the door of the inner mansion. Then, he said to Duan Lingtian, "Mister, you'll arrive at our Situ Clan's inner mansion after you pass through this door. They'll send someone to bring you to see Supervisor Fu, the inner mansion's supervisor. Supervisor Fu will bring you to see the Great Young Master."
"Hmm."
Duan Lingtian nodded and entered the inner mansion under the lead of a Situ Clan's disciple.
After entering the inner mansion, Duan Lingtian opened his eyes again.
The layout of the inner mansion was even more magnificent than the front courtyard of the Situ Clan's mansion and the entire outer mansion. Just one look at it would make one feel relaxed and happy.
Soon after, Duan Lingtian saw the inner mansion's supervisor, Supervisor Fu, whom the outer mansion's supervisor had mentioned. She was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties or forties. Although she was not as beautiful as his two fiancées, her voluptuous figure was seductive, causing one to be unconsciously attracted to her.
After learning about Duan Lingtian's intention, the beautiful woman took a few more glances at Duan Lingtian before she frowned subtly.
Although in the Dao Martial Saint Land, it was not enough to determine a person's age just by looking at their appearance, a young and handsome man like Duan Ling Tian still gave people the impression that he was too young and immature to handle matters.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian noticed the beautiful woman's reaction. He could guess what she was thinking, but he was not bothered by it. He merely nodded and smiled at her.
"Follow me," the beautiful woman said indifferently.
After saying that, the beautiful woman led the way in front of him.
Her voluptuous figure caused Duan Lingtian who was following behind her to take a few more glances at her. It was not that Duan Lingtian was lustful, but this was a man's nature.
"What star Saint Inscription Master are you?"
The beautiful woman asked indifferently along the way.
"I'm not a Saint Inscription Master."
Duan Lingtian shook his head in response.
