Naturally, the reason Duan Lingtian concluded the five of them were at the Imminent Saint Stage was because they gave him the same feeling as the Vice Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect.
After Duan Lingtian's cultivation base had broken through to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, his senses had become even sharper.
He was certain the five of them had followed him when he left the Situ Clan.
'Don't tell me they're five of the Shadow Guards from the Situ Clan?'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself when he recalled the things he had heard when he was in the Situ Clan.
When he was in the Situ Clan, he would occasionally hear some of the Situ Clan's lineal disciples mention some unknown secrets. One of them was the Situ Clan's Shadow Guards.
It was said that most of the Situ Clan's Shadow Guards were at the Imminent Saint Stage.
Perhaps, none of them could be compared to the powerhouses on the Heaven Ranking. However, since they were never exposed to the public, even the powerhouses on the Heaven Ranking might not be able to do anything to them.
If the powerhouses of the Heaven Ranking were to be careless, it was very likely that they would die in the hands of these powerhouses.
This was how terrifying the Situ Clan's Shadow Guards were.
The Situ Clan's Shadow Guards were directly controlled by the Clan Leader.
Therefore, these five Shadow Guards must have been sent by Situ Hao, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan.
'The Clan Leader of Situ Clan is really thoughtful … With these five Shadow Guards around, we won't have to worry about anything even if something unexpected happens along the way.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
'However, the Situ Clan's foundation is really terrifying … Even though they're both seventh-rate forces, the Moon Illumination Sect is far from being comparable to them.'
Perhaps, the number of Saint Stage powerhouses in the Moon Illumination Sect was not inferior to the Situ Clan.
However, in terms of quality, they might not be comparable to the Situ Clan.
Moreover, in terms of Imminent Saint Stage powerhouses, the Moon Illumination Sect was far inferior to the Situ Clan.
In the Moon Illumination Sect, there were only a few Vice Sect Leaders who were at the Imminent Saint Stage. As for the Situ Clan, aside from the Imminent Saint Stage elders, more than half of the eighteen Shadow Guards were at the Imminent Saint Stage.
This was not something the Moon Illumination Sect could compare to.
With five Shadow Guards hiding in the dark, Duan Lingtian, Situ Hang, and Situ Hou did not encounter any obstacles along the way as they arrived at the Drift Blaze Sect smoothly.
The Drift Blaze Sect was a sect that was similar to the Moon Illumination Sect. It was hidden in the mountains.
However, the Drift Blaze Sect's estate was located in a group of extinct volcanoes and active volcanoes. To a certain extent, it was much more prominent than the Moon Illumination Sect.
On the way here, Duan Lingtian had also learned about the Drift Blaze Sect from Situ Hang. He knew that the Drift Blaze Sect was a seventh-rate force that was even stronger than the Situ Clan. All of this was because of the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect.
The Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect was a female powerhouse called Zi Yun.
However, this Drift Blaze Sect's Sect Leader was so powerful that she was said to be invincible among the seventh-rate forces in Windfall Nation!
Moreover, this was publicly acknowledged by the Saint Stage experts of various forces.
What kind of concept was this?
Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, was a female powerhouse. In Windfall Nation, regardless of the powerhouses in the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family, among the seventh-rate forces and forces below the seventh-rate forces, her strength was publicly acknowledged to be the strongest.
Due to Zi Yun's existence, even the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family was unwilling to offend the Drift Blaze Sect.
Moreover, there were even people who said that Zi Yun was the strongest.
Even in the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family, there were only a handful of people who could defeat Zi Yun.
After learning about how powerful Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, was, Duan Lingtian was also taken aback for a long time. It did not cross his mind that a female Martial Cultivator would be able to reach this stage in such a huge Windfall Nation. It was truly shocking.
Apart from that, he also learned that Lady Feng who was ranked 23rd on the Heaven Ranking was Zi Yun's direct disciple.
At once, Duan Lingtian could not help but sigh emotionally. 'Like master, like disciple!'
Naturally, Duan Lingtian also knew that with the potential that Lady Feng had displayed, it would not be difficult for her to surpass her master, Zi Yun, if everything went smoothly in the future.
After learning about Zi Yun's existence from Situ Hang, Duan Lingtian was also curious about the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect. He was curious about what kind of woman she was to be able to lead a seventh-rate sect to become the publicly acknowledged number one force below the Imperial Family in Windfall Nation.
In the Dao Martial Saint Land, the strong ones were revered.
Perhaps, if the Drift Blaze Sect did not care about Zi Yun, it might even be inferior to some of the other seventh-rate forces.
However, it was precisely because of Zi Yun's existence that the Drift Blaze Sect surpassed the other seventh-rate forces.
In the Dao Martial Saint Land, when a person's strength reached a certain level, it would not be difficult for them to support a force.
When they arrived at the Drift Blaze Sect, a Drift Blaze Sect's disciple welcomed them.
However, Duan Lingtian also noticed that when the Drift Blaze Sect's disciple who welcomed them found out that he was the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Master Duan, there was a hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at him.
'It seems like they're also very confident in that Lady Feng.'
It was not difficult for Duan Lingtian to figure this out. At the same time, he was even more curious about what kind of woman she was to be able to achieve so much in such a short period of time.
At this moment, he could not wait to meet Lady Feng.
However, he also learned from Situ Hang that if he wanted to meet Lady Feng, he would have to wait until the day after tomorrow, the day of the battle between him and Lady Feng.
Before that, it was almost impossible for him to meet Lady Feng.
It was not because Lady Feng had to prepare for the battle, but because Lady Feng had always stayed in the Drift Blaze Sect's forbidden area. Even with so many inner and outer court disciples in the Drift Blaze Sect, it was rare for them to see her.
It was said that in the past year, the Drift Blaze Sect's disciples who had seen Lady Feng the most had only seen her a few times.
All of these made Lady Feng even more mysterious, causing Duan Lingtian to be extremely curious about her.
Although the Drift Blaze Sect's disciple's attitude toward Duan Lingtian and his two companions was not very good, as the host, they still obediently arranged a place for Duan Lingtian and his two companions. It was a mansion located halfway up one of the extinct volcanoes in the outer court area of Drift Blaze Sect. It was very clean from top to bottom. It was obvious that the Drift Blaze Sect had prepared it well.
"The three of you, this will be your place. Have a good rest tonight … Our Grand Elder will come and look for all of you tomorrow morning."
After the Drift Blaze Sect's disciple informed Duan Lingtian and his two companions, he left immediately. It was as though he did not want to stay here for a second longer.
Duan Lingtian and his two companions looked at each other and shook their heads with a smile. They entered the mansion in unison and each found a room to stay in.
At the same time, in the faraway Dragons, Duan Rufeng was starting to feel a little impatient as well.
Ever since Ku Mi revealed the big news, the five Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders, led by Xue Chan, were filled with dissatisfaction toward Di Jue.
At this moment, Di Shan, the Clan Leader of the Dragons, greeted Duan Rufeng and told him that they would come up with a conclusion that would satisfy Duan Rufeng.
Duan Rufeng, on the other hand, had waited for an entire afternoon.
If it was not for the fact that he was wary of Di Shan, Duan Rufeng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, would not have waited for so long.
However, after an entire afternoon had passed, Duan Rufeng could no longer wait any longer. "All of you have discussed for an entire afternoon, but you still haven't come up with a conclusion?"
Duan Rufeng's tone was filled with dissatisfaction, causing Di Shan and the others to regain their senses.
Apart from Di Jue who stood at the side with a pale expression and did not participate in the discussion, the five Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders, led by Xue Chan, sent Voice Transmissions to Di Shan, the Clan Leader of the Dragons, to discuss a solution.
After all, the Dragons were indeed in the wrong in this matter.
Put aside the fact that the son of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion might not have killed Di Jue's son, even if he did, it would be considered as helping the Dragons get rid of a scourge.
The five Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders, led by Xue Chan, felt terrified just by thinking about the danger of a Five-clawed Devil Dragon.
They believed that if news of this spread out and reached the ears of the Dragons, Di Jue would definitely become the target of public criticism. On the other hand, even if the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion barged into the Dragons' territory without mercy, none of the Dragons would blame him. This was because in the eyes of the Dragons, he was innocent. He might even be the father of their benefactor.
Although the Dragons were arrogant, they were a tribe that knew how to be grateful. They would not be ungrateful.
He would remember whoever helped him for the rest of his life.
As the Clan Leader of the Dragons, Di Shan had the final say in many matters. There was no need for him to consider the feelings of the few Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders and the others.
However, he was also in the wrong in this matter regarding Di Jue.
After all, he had long known that Di Jue's son was still alive and had been killed.
Later on, he even helped Di Jue by ordering all the Dragons in the Dao Martial Saint Land to search for the whereabouts of Duan Lingtian, Di Jue's enemy.
Due to this reason, Di Shan knew he could not ignore the feelings of the few Five-clawed Divine Dragon elders in this matter.
Naturally, during the discussion in the afternoon, he had also made up his mind.
Di Jue must not die!
Di Jue was not only a Five-clawed Divine Dragon, but he was also a Five-clawed Golden Dragon. He was the only candidate to be the next Clan Leader of the Dragons.
If Di Jue died, it would mean that the Dragons would lose their heir.
Among the Dragons, all the candidates to be the next Clan Leader would be a Five-clawed Golden Dragon. This was the rule of the Dragons since ancient times.
No matter how outstanding a member of the Dragons was, it was impossible for him to become the Clan Leader of the Dragons if he was not a Five-clawed Golden Dragon.
A Five-clawed Golden Dragon was more like a religion that represented the Dragons. It was irreplaceable by any other Five-clawed Divine Dragon.
"Mansion Master Duan."
Di Shan looked at Duan Rufeng and said in a deep voice, "The Dragons will give you an explanation regarding this matter."
"It's good that you're willing to give me an explanation. Tell me, what's your plan? Do you want me to kill him after I bring him away or do you want me to kill him in front of all of you? "
Duan Rufeng asked as he glanced at Di Shan indifferently.
Upon hearing Duan Rufeng's words, horror dawned on Di Jue's face right away. At the same time, he looked at Di Shan anxiously. He was really worried that Di Shan would hand him over.
As the saying went, 'Too much concern leads to confusion.' This was exactly what Di Jue was feeling right now.
