"Clan Leader, the Dark Nether Sect's stronghold in the capital was massacred by an unknown powerhouse … Vice Sect Leaders Zhou Shu, Tan Chi, and two Dark Nether Sect's elders were killed."
Situ Hou immediately reported to Situ Hao as soon as he entered the room.
A hint of joy could be heard in his voice.
To a certain extent, the Dark Nether Sect could be said to be on the opposite side of their faction.
The Dark Nether Sect being attacked was, without a doubt, a good thing for their faction.
When Situ Hao heard Situ Hou's words, he looked at his son, Situ Hang. Coincidentally, Situ Hang was looking at him as well.
At this moment, both father and son saw the same message in each other's eyes.
"Master Duan!"
In the next moment, both of them spoke in unison.
"Master Duan? What happened to Master Duan? "
When Situ Hou heard their voices, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.
"Grandpa Hou, did you just say that Vice Sect Leader Zhou Shu of Dark Nether Sect is dead as well?"
Situ Hang could not help but ask.
"Yes."
Situ Hou nodded. "Zhou Shu is indeed dead. Moreover, his head seems to have been chopped off. Many people are speculating that it must be a Saint Stage powerhouse who killed Zhou Shu so easily. After all, although Zhou Shu is only ranked 30th on the Heaven Ranking, that was more than ten years ago.
"The reason why Zhou Shu remained on this ranking is because he didn't challenge anyone who was ranked at the top. Based on his strength, many people speculated that he would be ranked in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking if he was placed on the current Heaven Ranking.
Situ Hou continued to say.
"That's right. I'm afraid his strength is even stronger than Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect."
Situ Hang nodded.
"It seems like Master Duan is really powerful. Even Zhou Shu was killed by him."
Situ Hao sighed emotionally. "With Master Duan's strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to enter the top three of the Heaven Ranking."
"Yes."
Situ Hang nodded his head in agreement.
"What?!"
When Situ Hou heard Situ Hao's words, he could not help but widen his eyes. "Clan Leader, do you mean … the person who killed Zhou Shu is Master Duan?"
"Hang 'er, tell Elder Hou what you just told me."
Situ Hao said to Situ Hang.
Soon after, as Situ Hang spoke, Situ Hou also learned the ins and outs of the matter.
"Master Duan's senior brother and friends are imprisoned by the Dark Nether Sect?"
Situ Hou frowned. "Logically speaking, we should help Master Duan no matter what. However, this is related to the Dark Nether Sect. It's not appropriate for us to act rashly. Otherwise, the clan might be turned upside down! Moreover, now that such a huge incident has happened in the Dark Nether Sect's stronghold in the capital, Situ Ming's people will most likely suspect us. "
"Even if they don't shed all pretense of cordiality now, I'm sure they'll keep an eye on us. If we help Master Duan and go to the Dark Nether Sect now, I'm afraid they'll shed all pretense of cordiality and cause a civil war in the Situ Clan."
Civil war!
For a clan like the Situ Clan, these two words were no different from a disaster.
In the history of Windfall Nation, there were many seventh-rate forces that were not any weaker than the Situ Clan. However, due to civil war, they had either fallen or were reduced to eighth-rate or ninth-rate forces.
Due to this reason, no matter which force it was, they would try their best to avoid civil war.
This was because once a civil war broke out, the fisherman would reap the benefits in the end.
Once a force was weakened by civil war, the forces that were hostile to it would not let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury.
"Master Duan didn't allow us to interfere in this matter," Situ Hang said.
"Master Duan, you're right.
"Master Duan said he'll give us a surprise. Don't tell me he's talking about killing Zhou Shu and the others?"
Situ Hao asked, puzzled.
"That should be the case."
Situ Hou nodded.
"Now that such a huge incident has happened in the Dark Nether Sect's stronghold, Situ Ming's people will definitely investigate it immediately … Hang 'er, go and see if Master Duan has returned."
Situ Hao said to Situ Hang.
Situ Hang responded and left.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Situ Clan, many people were gathered in a spacious courtyard.
A middle-aged man was the leader of these people.
If Duan Lingtian was here, he would be able to recognize this person as Situ Ming, the Second Master of Situ Clan, whom he had met before.
"Second Master, something so big has happened in the Dark Nether Sect's stronghold. I'm afraid this matter isn't as simple as it seems … Do you think the Clan Leader is behind this?"
An old man said as he looked at Situ Ming.
"I think the Clan Leader is behind this as well … Otherwise, why would such a huge incident suddenly happen in the Dark Nether Sect's stronghold in the capital?"
Another middle-aged burly man agreed.
"I don't think the Clan Leader is behind this. Perhaps, it's an enemy of the Dark Nether Sect. After all, most of the people in the Dark Nether Sect are Devil Cultivators. They're violent by nature and have offended many people. Perhaps, they've offended some powerhouse and brought this upon themselves. "
A middle-aged scribe said in a timely manner. His words seemed to be more rational.
"Indeed, that's possible."
Many people agreed with the middle-aged scholar's words.
"Alright, stop arguing … We'll wait for Elder Zhong to come back and we'll be able to confirm this."
Situ Ming interrupted the discussion with a frown on his face.
Situ Ming had a certain level of authority in front of these people. The moment he spoke, the entire place fell silent. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop on the ground.
The Elder Zhong that Situ Ming mentioned was the Supreme Elder of Situ Clan. His name was Situ Zhong.
In the Situ Clan, he was as famous as Situ Hou.
Fifteen minutes later, a bald old man dressed in gray walked in from outside.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. Few people dared to look him in the eye.
"Situ Hao and Situ Hou didn't make a move."
The bald old man was none other than Situ Zhong. He looked at Situ Ming as soon as he entered.
Situ Ming nodded when he heard Situ Zhong's words. At the same time, he sighed in relief.
"Humph! It seems like the Dark Nether Sect's enemy is here … The Dark Nether Sect is really good at causing trouble. They actually killed an Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse like Zhou Shu. Without Zhou Shu, how is the Dark Nether Sect going to rise again? "
Soon after, someone snorted coldly.
Voices of dissatisfaction rose and fell one after another.
As the core members of Situ Ming's faction, naturally, they knew about the relationship between their faction and the Dark Nether Sect. They knew the Dark Nether Sect and the Dark Nether Sect were in the same boat. The loss of the Dark Nether Sect was also their loss.
"Alright, there's no point in talking about this now. The most important thing now is to find out who's the one who's going against the Dark Nether Sect."
Situ Ming said impatiently.
While Situ Ming's faction was still in a state of chaos due to the incident at the Dark Nether Sect's base, Duan Lingtian had already arrived at the Dark Nether Sect's estate with Bai Li Hong.
"Junior Brother, what's your plan?"
Bai Li Hong asked as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Senior Brother, wait for me here … I'll scout the area first before coming back with you to save Uncle Feng and the others."
Duan Lingtian said to Bai Li Hong.
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Bai Li Hong's reply, Duan Lingtian moved and disappeared in front of Bai Li Hong as though he had vanished into thin air.
Upon seeing this, Bai Li Hong smiled wryly. However, there was nothing he could do. He could only wait on the spot.
The Dark Nether Sect's estate was not shrouded by a Flight Prohibiting Formation. Due to this reason, Duan Lingtian was like a fish in water when he entered. He did not encounter any obstacles as he easily entered and arrived at the eastern side of the Dark Nether Sect's estate.
Along the way, Duan Lingtian had learned about this from Bai Li Hong.
The two Saint Stage powerhouses of the Dark Nether Sect, the Sect Leader of Yin Yang Sect and the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect, were cultivating in the eastern side of the Dark Nether Sect's estate. This was because the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy there was the most abundant in the entire Dark Nether Sect's estate. Most of the sixth-grade Saint Stones that appeared in the Dark Nether Sect's seventh-grade Saint Stone vein were in the eastern side.
Due to this reason, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy there was especially rich.
When Duan Lingtian arrived at the eastern side of the Dark Nether Sect's estate, it was as though he had entered an uninhabited land.
Although this was partly due to the lack of people in the eastern side, it was mostly due to Duan Lingtian's current strength. Ordinary people would not be able to discover his whereabouts at all.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian sensed a powerful Spiritual Energy appearing out of thin air and sweeping toward him menacingly.
"Divine Consciousness!"
In an instant, Duan Lingtian could tell it was a Divine Consciousness. It was the Divine Consciousness of a Saint Stage powerhouse.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing in my Dark Nether Sect? "
At the same time, a clear voice entered Duan Lingtian's ears. The voice was loud and clear as though it came from all directions.
"Are you the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect or the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect?"
Upon hearing this voice, Duan Lingtian's expression remained unchanged as he asked nonchalantly.
"Hm? You're a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator. You're quite bold. You know I'm the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect, but you're still so calm. "
The loud voice resonated again. A hint of surprise could be heard in his voice.
"So what if you're the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect? Don't tell me you're going to eat me? "
Duan Lingtian continued to speak nonchalantly.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a gust of wind seemed to have blown past. Ripples appeared in the air not far in front of Duan Lingtian before a tall figure appeared out of thin air.
Naturally, the figure did not appear out of thin air.
When Duan Ling Tian slightly activated his Strange Pupil, he could still vaguely capture the trajectory of the person who had flown over earlier.
The tall figure was dressed in a long black robe with red embroidery. He wore a crown on his head, making him appear extremely noble.
