At this moment, it had been almost half a month since the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Master Duan, issued a challenge to Lady Feng, the Drift Blaze Sect's disciple.
During this half a month, word of the challenge had spread among the Drift Blaze Sect's disciples. Although it did not take long, almost half of the people in Windfall Nation had received the news.
For a time, the challenge had become a grand event that half of the people in Windfall Nation paid attention to.
Moreover, many people from various forces had sent their invitation cards to the Drift Blaze Sect so they could watch the battle before the day of the challenge.
One of the two parties of the duel was Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect. As long as one was a citizen of Windfall Nation, almost everyone knew about her.
Lady Feng had risen to fame a year ago. She had entered the Heaven Ranking a year ago and had risen to fame ever since.
If it was said that Lady Feng was not very famous at that time, then half a year later, Lady Feng was completely known by the people in Windfall Nation. She even had a certain degree of fame in the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion.
This was because half a year after Lady Feng had entered the bottom of the Heaven Ranking, she had made her move again and defeated the person who was ranked 23rd on the Heaven Ranking.
Currently, half a year had passed since Lady Feng entered the 23rd place on the Heaven Ranking.
Based on Lady Feng's improvement in the past half a year, most people concluded that she had the strength to enter the top ten of the Heaven Ranking.
Naturally, if one wanted to enter the top ten of the Heaven Ranking, one would have to leave Windfall Nation first.
This was because none of the powerhouses at the peak of the Saint Rudiment Stage who were ranked in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking were from Windfall Nation.
As for the other person in the challenge, not many people knew about the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Master Duan. Nobody had even heard of such a person in Windfall Nation before this.
In less than half a month, under the deliberate efforts of some people, some people managed to find out about the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Master Duan.
Master Duan had appeared in Situ Clan two months ago. As soon as he appeared, he had cured the strange illness of Situ Hang, the Great Young Master of Situ Clan.
Before this, almost everyone thought that Situ Hang would definitely die.
After all, even the grade-four Saint Refinement Master in the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family was at a loss when it came to his illness. He even said that Situ Hang was not sick but had been bewitched by something unclean.
Even the fourth-grade Saint Refinement Master of the Imperial Family had sentenced Situ Hang to death. Almost no one thought that Situ Hang would survive.
Mr. Duan appeared.
Once he appeared, it only took him one and a half months to pull Situ Hang back from the gates of hell. Situ Hang had recovered completely, as if nothing had happened to him.
Apart from that, they had also heard that Situ Hang, the Great Young Master of Situ Clan, would be accompanying the Interim Advisor, Master Duan to challenge Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect.
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
Who was this Master Duan? He could even cure a strange illness that a grade-four Saint Refinement Master who specialized in Medicine Refinement Dao could not do anything about.
Some of the more observant people even began to search for information about the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Master Duan. However, they did not even manage to find out his name. All they knew was that everyone in Situ Clan addressed him as Master Duan. Even the Clan Leader of Situ Clan was no exception.
It was as though this Master Duan had appeared out of thin air in Windfall Nation. Before this, they could not find any trace of him at all.
At this moment, in the eyes of the people in Windfall Nation, Duan Lingtian, the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, was shrouded in mystery.
Moreover, there were many people from the various forces who had specially sent invitations to the Drift Blaze Sect to see the Heaven Ranking. Most of them wanted to see Duan Ling Tian, the mysterious Interim Advisor of Situ Clan. They wanted to know what kind of person he was.
Among them, the forces that were not on good terms with Situ Clan were the most active.
They had been fighting openly and secretly with the Situ Clan for many years, and they knew the Situ Clan very well. Now that Mister Duan had suddenly appeared, it made them feel extremely pressured.
Naturally, this pressure did not come from Master Duan's strength.
Challenging a Heaven Ranking powerhouse was enough to prove that Master Duan was only a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial or Dao Cultivator. He was not a threat to them at all.
The pressure they felt was mostly due to the 'mystery' that Mister Duan had unknowingly revealed.
After all, he had cured a strange illness that even a grade-four Saint Refinement Master and a group of Saint Stage powerhouses could not do anything about. This was not something an ordinary Saint Rudiment Stage Martial or Dao Cultivator could do.
Due to this reason, Duan Lingtian had become famous in Windfall Nation before the battle between Duan Lingtian and Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect had even begun.
Naturally, the reason he became famous was because he had cured Situ Hang.
Previously, news of Situ Hang's strange illness had spread throughout the entire Windfall Nation. During that period of time, almost everyone knew about it. Many people even traveled thousands of miles to the capital in the hopes of obtaining the reward issued by the Situ Clan. However, none of them succeeded.
Even Duan Lingtian did not expect this when he first heard about it from Situ Hang.
"Master Duan, your name has spread like wildfire in Windfall Nation now. Even if you lose the battle with Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect, as long as you announce your name, your name will sweep through the entire Windfall Nation like a hurricane! At that time, as long as your Senior Brother is in Windfall Nation, he'll definitely know that you're in our Situ Clan.
He'll come to Duan Lingtian immediately, "Situ Hang told Duan Lingtian with a smile.
"What? Do you have so little confidence in me, Young Master Hang? "
Upon hearing Situ Hang's words, Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled as he asked mockingly.
Upon hearing this, Situ Hang smiled awkwardly and quickly tried to salvage the situation. "Of course not. I'm just saying one of the possibilities."
Although he indeed felt it was impossible for Duan Lingtian to defeat Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect, he did not dare to say anything in front of Duan Lingtian. He was afraid he would offend Duan Lingtian.
However, he had underestimated Duan Lingtian's magnanimity.
When he casually said those words earlier, Duan Lingtian had already guessed what he was thinking. It was just that he did not care about it at all.
This was because Duan Lingtian knew very well that there were some things that others would not believe even if he had a glib tongue.
The only way to convince others was to use practical actions to convince them!
For this reason, after hearing Situ Hang's explanation, Duan Lingtian did not continue with this topic. Instead, he changed the topic. "Young Master Hang, Situ Zhuo will be facing the wall for three months in another month. At that time, he'll leave the Enforcement Hall as well. He did not succeed this time, and we don't know what method he'll use to deal with you next time. What's your plan? "
When Duan Lingtian reached the end of his sentence, he looked at Situ Hang and asked.
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian mentioning Situ Zhuo, Situ Hang's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
Situ Zhuo was the culprit who almost caused his death previously.
Due to certain reasons, he and his father did not want to fall out with Situ Hang's faction. For this reason, they decided to minimize the matter and end it with the death of the Devil Cultivator.
However, in his heart, there was no way he would let this matter go.
After all, he almost died!
If he died, he could imagine the future of the Situ Clan. It would definitely belong to Situ Zhuo.
If Situ Zhuo became the Patriarch of the Situ Clan, with Situ Zhuo's ruthlessness, he did not even need to think to know what would happen to him and his father. It would definitely be extremely miserable.
"Master Duan, although I've heard about Situ Zhuo's deeds in the past, I didn't expect him to be so ruthless to me. I've suffered once, and I won't suffer a second time!"
After taking a deep breath, Situ Hang spoke at a speed that was neither fast nor slow. His tone was so cold that it made people feel as though they had fallen into an ice cave.
"It's good that you know what you're doing."
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly. He had a good impression of Situ Hang.
As for Situ Zhuo, he did not have a good impression of him at all.
"If there's anything I can help you with, you're welcome."
Duan Lingtian said again.
"Thank you, Master Duan."
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Situ Hang's eyes lit up immediately. He quickly bowed to express his gratitude as a junior.
Although Duan Lingtian was perhaps one or two years younger than him, Duan Lingtian had a very high position in his heart. He did not treat Duan Lingtian as his peer.
"With our speed, we should be able to reach the Drift Blaze Sect by this afternoon, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a smile as he looked at the scorching sun in the sky.
"Yes, we'll be able to reach by this afternoon."
Situ Hang nodded. "After we arrive, we'll rest in the Drift Blaze Sect for a night first. Tomorrow, we'll familiarize ourselves with the Drift Blaze Sect's environment and walk around the Drift Blaze Sect's estate as their guests. As for the battle between you and Lady Feng from the Drift Blaze Sect, it's set for the day after tomorrow. "
"Alright, I'll leave it to you."
Duan Lingtian nodded. Although Situ Hang was not much older than him, he was still inferior to Situ Hang when it came to handling trivial matters.
As the saying went, 'Every profession has its own specialization'. Perhaps, this was what it meant.
After leaving the Windfall Nation's capital and heading to the Drift Blaze Sect, naturally, Duan Lingtian, Situ Hang, and Situ Hou were not the only people in the group.
There were five other people hiding in the dark as well.
If it was not for the fact that Duan Lingtian had anti-tracking experience from his past life, perhaps, he would not have noticed these five people.
These five people were hiding in the dark like venomous snakes, ready to attack or even kill at any moment.
"Five Imminent Saint Stage powerhouses … Moreover, they must have cultivated some kind of Secret Tactic to conceal themselves. Apart from me, I'm afraid not many people below the Saint Stage would be able to notice them."
After Duan Lingtian activated his Divine Eye, he could clearly sense the powerful aura that was faintly emitted from the five people who were hiding in the dark.
