The Situ Clan's guard who had temporarily left his post did not return to cultivate after he entered the Situ Clan's estate.
His destination was the inner mansion.
To be more precise, it was the courtyard where Situ Ming, the Second Master of Situ Clan, lived.
"Second Master."
After reporting his arrival, the Situ Clan's guard successfully met Situ Ming.
"What's wrong? What's the matter? "
With just a glance, Situ Ming recognized the guard he had planted at the entrance of the Situ Clan's estate. He could not help but ask.
Every time someone entered or left the Situ Clan's estate, he would be informed by the guards he had planted.
"Second Master, Master Duan has returned."
The guard replied.
"He's only back now?"
Situ Ming frowned.
Before the incident at the Dark Nether Sect's base in the capital, he already knew Duan Lingtian had left the Situ Clan.
Moreover, he even suspected the incident at the Dark Nether Sect's base in the capital was caused by Duan Lingtian. After all, Duan Lingtian was strong enough to enter the top ten of the Heaven Ranking.
However, when he thought about the strength of Zhou Shu, the person in charge of the Dark Nether Sect's base, he felt Duan Lingtian might not be a match for Zhou Shu.
"Yes."
The guard nodded and continued to say, "He brought eight people with him this time."
"Eight people?"
Situ Ming frowned. "Who are they?"
"I'm not sure about that."
The guard shook his head.
"Alright, I understand. You may leave now. "
Situ Ming replied and waved his hand to signal the guard to leave.
After the guard left, Situ Ming frowned. His expression was extremely grave. "Where did that Duan Lingtian come from? It's as though he appeared out of thin air in Windfall Nation and ruined my plan! "
The plan that Situ Ming mentioned was, naturally, the incident where he tried to assassinate Situ Hang.
That matter was naturally not something that his son could do alone. He was the real mastermind behind it.
The news of Duan Lingtian's return soon reached the ears of the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, Situ Hao, and the Great Young Master of Situ Clan. Both of them came out to welcome Duan Lingtian at the same time. "Master Duan."
"Clan Leader of Situ Clan, Young Master Hang."
When Duan Ling Tian saw Situ Hao and Situ Hang, he smiled and greeted them. Then, he introduced Bai Li Hong and the others behind him to them.
"Master Bai."
Situ Hao and Situ Hao had long heard of Bai Li Hong. Hence, they were very enthusiastic.
Of course, they didn't neglect Feng Wu Dao and the others. After all, they were Duan Ling Tian's friends and family.
Situ Hang's residence, Situ Hang's residence, Situ Hang's residence's residence..
. This arrangement was, naturally, for the convenience of Duan Lingtian and the others. They did not have to cross half of the Situ Clan before they could meet.
After settling Bai Li Hong and the others, Duan Lingtian looked at Feng Wu Dao. "Uncle Feng, rest well today. I'll go to the Drift Blaze Sect with you tomorrow morning."
"Alright."
Although Feng Wu Dao was anxious, he knew there was no need to rush. He nodded and returned to his room to rest.
After bidding farewell to Bai Li Hong and the others, Duan Lingtian returned to Situ Hang's residence with Situ Hao and his son.
"Master Duan, I can't believe you managed to save all of them by yourself!"
Situ Hang exclaimed in shock.
"Master Duan, I don't think you met the Sect Leader and Supreme Elder in the Dark Nether Sect this time, right?"
Situ Hao asked.
He knew the Dark Nether Sect very well. In fact, he wished he could uproot it.
However, the moment he recalled the relationship between the Dark Nether Sect and Situ Ming's progeny, he was worried the people from Situ Ming's progeny would become desperate and join forces with the two great Saint Stage powerhouses from the Dark Nether Sect to deal with his progeny.
If the two great Saint Stage powerhouses from the Dark Nether Sect joined the fray, his progeny would definitely not be a match for them.
At that time, even if the Old Ancestor of Situ Clan intervened, their progeny would be greatly damaged. It would be impossible for them to fight with Situ Ming's progeny then.
As the Old Ancestor of Situ Clan, even if he knew Situ Ming's progeny was in the wrong, he would not blame them for the sake of the clan.
This was the law of the jungle in the Dao Martial Saint Land. The strong preyed on the weak, and only the fittest survived.
Due to this reason, even if Duan Lingtian asked him to help, he was powerless to do so. He could not bring everyone from his progeny to gamble since it was a gamble that they would definitely lose.
However, it was completely beyond his expectations that Duan Lingtian would be able to save them on his own.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Yes?"
Upon hearing this, Situ Hao and Situ Hang narrowed their eyes immediately. "Then …"
"The Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect is dead … As for the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect, he has fled. Currently, the Dark Nether Sect only exists in name, right? "
Duan Ling Tian said unhurriedly. His tone was very casual as though he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"What?!"
Duan Lingtian's words stunned Situ Hao and Situ Hang. Both of them looked at Duan Lingtian solemnly. They discovered Duan Lingtian did not seem to be lying at all.
"Young Master Hang, didn't I tell you before I left that I'll give you a surprise? Are you satisfied with this surprise? "
Duan Lingtian said with a smile as he looked at Situ Hang.
Surprise!
At this moment, Situ Hang finally remembered that Duan Lingtian had indeed said he would give him a surprise before he left the Situ Clan without their help.
However, he thought the surprise was because Duan Lingtian had killed the two Vice Sect Leaders of Dark Nether Sect at the Dark Nether Sect's stronghold.
At this moment, he finally realized the surprise Duan Lingtian had mentioned was something he did not even dare to think about. The Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect was dead, and the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect had fled. The Dark Nether Sect only existed in name.
'It seems like there's a terrifying force behind this Master Duan.'
Situ Hang thought to himself, 'Could it be a powerhouse from Drift Blaze Sect?'
When he recalled the close relationship between Duan Lingtian and Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect and the fact that Lady Feng was the direct disciple the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect doted on the most, he could not help but think to himself.
Situ Hao's thoughts were similar to Situ Hang's.
The Dark Nether Sect was destroyed!
The moment he thought of this, his heart was filled with excitement. His eyes were filled with gratitude when he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Thank you, Master Duan."
As the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, Situ Hao actually bowed and thanked Duan Lingtian. If news of this spread out, many people would be shocked.
Situ Hang bowed and thanked him as well.
Naturally, Duan Lingtian was unaware of the thoughts of Situ Hao and Situ Hang.
Duan Lingtian looked at Situ Hao and said, "Clan Leader Situ, my Senior Brother and my friends will be staying in the Situ Clan for the time being. You …"
"Master Duan, Master Bai Li and your friend can stay in our Situ Clan for as long as they want. I can promise you that our Situ Clan will treat them as distinguished guests and make them feel at home at all times."
Before Duan Lingtian could finish his words, Situ Hao interrupted him and made a promise.
"Thank you, Clan Leader Situ."
Duan Lingtian quickly thanked him.
"You're welcome, Master Duan."
Situ Hao smiled. "You're the Interim Advisor of our Situ Clan. It's only right for me to do this."
"Master Duan."
Situ Hang suddenly seemed to have recalled something as his expression turned grave. "Earlier, I heard you and Master Feng say that you're going to the Drift Blaze Sect with him tomorrow?"
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Master Duan."
At this moment, Situ Hao's expression turned grave as well. "You don't know this, but the people from Situ Ming's faction have been very active while you were away. It's fine that they didn't know about your whereabouts when you left earlier. I'm sure they've received news that you're back today as well. "
"If you leave tomorrow, I'm worried they'll do something to you."
Situ Hao voiced out his concern.
"That's right."
Situ Hang nodded as well. "Even if Grandfather Hou comes with you tomorrow, it's still not safe. Based on our speculation, Situ Ming has most likely suspected you of being the one who killed the two Vice Sect Leaders of Dark Nether Sect. You've ruined their plans time and time again. If they find an opportunity, they won't let it go so easily. "
"That's it?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. He did not seem to mind.
"Master Duan, this isn't a joke … Situ Ming is a ruthless person through and through. He already holds a grudge against you for saving Hang 'er previously. This time, even if he only suspects you and can't confirm it, he won't let you go so easily. "
Situ Hao smiled wryly. "Even if Elder Hou comes with you tomorrow, all of you won't be safe. This is because Situ Ming might personally make a move. Coupled with the other Supreme Elder of our Situ Clan, even Elder Hou won't be able to stop two Saint Stage powerhouses at the same time.
However, if Master Duan insists, Elder Hou and I can come with you. "
Situ Hao took a deep breath and said when he saw Duan Lingtian was still unconcerned about this matter.
"Clan Leader Situ, I know you have good intentions, but there's no need for that."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. A hint of confidence could be seen on his face. "As long as you spread the word about our purpose of going to the Drift Blaze Sect, Situ Ming won't dare to make a move on us even if he's ten times more courageous."
"Purpose? What purpose? "
As though he was affected by Duan Lingtian's confidence, Situ Hao could not help but ask.
Situ Hang also looked at Duan Lingtian curiously.
"My Uncle Feng is the father of Drift Blaze Sect's Lady Feng! Do you think Situ Ming will dare to make a move when the news of me accompanying my Uncle Feng to the Drift Blaze Sect spreads? "
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly.
When Duan Lingtian's words entered Situ Hao and his son's ears, it was like a heavy bomb that exploded. It took them a while to regain their senses.
"That Master Feng is … is Lady Feng's father?"
