When they learned that Mr. Feng, Feng Wu Dao, who came to the Situ Clan with Duan Lingtian, was the father of Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect, they were shocked.
Whether it was Situ Hang or Situ Hao, both of them were shocked.
It did not cross their minds that the ordinary-looking man whose cultivation base was merely at the Mortal Shedding Stage would be the father of Lady Feng who was famous in the entire Windfall Nation.
Who was Lady Feng?
She was the strongest powerhouse among the younger generation in Windfall Nation. She was only overshadowed by the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Master Duan.
However, apart from having an extremely high innate talent in Martial Dao, Lady Feng had a background that was envied by many people in Windfall Nation.
She was the direct disciple of the Sect Leader of the seventh-rate sect, Drift Blaze Sect!
She was also the direct disciple that the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect doted on the most. The Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect treated her like her own daughter.
In Windfall Nation, everyone knew that offending Lady Feng was no different from offending the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect.
Who was the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect?
She was someone that even the Windfall Nation's Imperial Family did not dare to offend!
She was a great deterrent in Windfall Nation.
"If that's the case, we don't have to worry about Situ Ming making a move."
Situ Hao nodded.
He knew very well that once Situ Ming found out that Duan Lingtian and Lady Feng's father went to the Drift Blaze Sect to visit her, he would not dare to make a move even if he was given a hundred guts.
Perhaps, he could make the whole thing watertight.
However, if something happened to Duan Lingtian and Feng Wu Dao, Lady Feng would definitely be furious.
At that time, even if the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect did not stand up for Duan Lingtian, she would stand up for Feng Wu Dao since he was the biological father of her most beloved direct disciple.
Killing Feng Wu Dao was no different from slapping her face.
At that time, even if there was no evidence to prove that Situ Ming was the culprit, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect would not let Situ Ming go since he had the motive.
The Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect would definitely not let go of anyone who had the motive to kill Duan Lingtian and Feng Wu Dao. She would definitely give her most beloved direct disciple a satisfactory explanation.
"I didn't expect Mister Feng to be Miss Feng's father … I was a little rude to him just now."
Situ Hang sighed.
"Uncle Feng won't take these things to heart."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. Then, he bid farewell to Situ Hao and his son and returned to his previous room.
After Duan Lingtian returned to his room, Situ Hao and his son deliberately spread the news that Miss Feng's father, Mister Feng, had come to the Situ Clan as a guest.
Moreover, everyone knew that the Situ Clan's Interim Advisor, Master Duan, would be heading to the Drift Blaze Sect with Mister Feng tomorrow to visit his family and look for Lady Feng.
In the courtyard where Situ Ming lived, a person hurriedly walked in.
"Second Master, Duan Lingtian is going to the Drift Blaze Sect tomorrow. As far as I know, Situ Hou won't be going with him."
The person who entered was an elder of the Situ Clan.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing the Situ Clan's elder's words, Situ Ming's eyes lit up immediately. "Then, does this mean we have a chance to get rid of Duan Lingtian?"
Situ Ming could not wait to grind Duan Lingtian's bones into dust for ruining his plans. Naturally, he would not miss the chance to kill Duan Lingtian when he heard about it.
"However, how can Situ Hou not be going with him?"
Soon after, Situ Ming frowned. He felt something was amiss.
In fact, he was not afraid even if Situ Hou went with Duan Lingtian. After all, Situ Hou was alone.
At that time, he would bring along the Situ Clan's Supreme Elder who was as famous as Situ Hou. Situ Hou alone would not be able to stop the two Saint Stage powerhouses.
"It must be related to the purpose of Duan Lingtian's departure tomorrow."
The Situ Clan's elder who hurriedly came to look for Situ Ming said, "According to the news I heard, Duan Lingtian will be leaving the capital with Lady Feng's father from the Drift Blaze Sect tomorrow to visit his family."
"Drift Blaze Sect's Lady Feng's father?"
Situ Ming's face turned grave. "What's going on?"
"It's said that Duan Lingtian brought a few people to our Situ Clan today, and one of them is Lady Feng's father."
The Situ Clan's elder continued to say, "However, I'm pretty sure he's an impostor … Lady Feng has been famous in Windfall Nation for a long time, but I've never heard of her having a father."
"Hurmph! Then, have you heard of Lady Feng and Duan Lingtian having a close relationship before this? "
Situ Ming snorted coldly.
Upon hearing this, the Situ Clan's elder fell silent.
The matter of their Situ Clan's Interim Advisor, Duan Lingtian, and Lady Feng, the Drift Blaze Sect's disciple, had gradually spread out in Windfall Nation.
Many people even called them a celestial couple since both of them stood at the peak of the younger generation in Windfall Nation. They were the idols of all the young talents in Windfall Nation.
"No wonder Situ Hao didn't plan to bring Situ Hou along. As it turns out, it's because of Lady Feng's father."
Situ Ming said with a gloomy expression.
He originally thought this was an opportunity, but only now did he realize that this was simply a pit, a pit that he did not dare to jump into.
It would be fine if it was just Duan Lingtian.
Although Duan Lingtian had a close relationship with Lady Feng, Duan Lingtian's death should not alarm Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect.
After all, Duan Lingtian and Lady Feng only had an ambiguous relationship, and there was no official relationship between them. Under such circumstances, even if Lady Feng was the favorite direct disciple of the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, Zi Yun, it was impossible for her to stand up for Duan Lingtian who had been killed because of her status.
A person's death was like an extinguished lamp. It was impossible for Zi Yun to stand up for someone who was not related to her.
However, Lady Feng's father was different!
He was related to Lady Feng by blood. If he was killed, let alone Lady Feng, even the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, Zi Yun, would not stand by and do nothing.
If she stood by and did nothing, people might say that she, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, was cold-hearted to the point that she did not even care about the life and death of her favorite direct disciple's father.
"He must be an imposter."
The Situ Clan's elder insisted on his opinion.
"Even if he's an imposter, do we still dare to bet? What if he's the real deal? At that time, do you think the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, Zi Yun, will stand by and do nothing? "
Situ Ming sneered.
"As long as we do it flawlessly, even the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, Zi Yun, won't be able to do anything to us, right?"
The Situ Clan's elder said.
"Do you think the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, Zi Yun, would need to gather evidence to kill someone?"
Situ Ming snorted.
Although Situ Ming knew Duan Lingtian would leave the Situ Clan tomorrow, giving him the best opportunity to make a move, he did not dare to make a move because he was worried the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect would take revenge on him.
Apart from that, he had also thought about whether he could only kill Duan Lingtian and not touch the people around Duan Lingtian.
However, when he thought about it carefully, it seemed a little unrealistic.
Due to this reason, he could only watch as Duan Lingtian swaggered out of the Situ Clan and the capital. However, he did not dare to make a move.
When Duan Lingtian and Feng Wu Dao left the capital of Windfall Nation, there were only the two of them.
However, Duan Lingtian clearly noticed that Situ Hao had sent a few people to follow them in the dark. He did not reject this.
This was because along the way, they would more or less encounter some ignorant people.
With these people sent by Situ Hao, they did not have to worry about being disturbed.
Feng Wu Dao followed Duan Lingtian out. The excitement between his brows could not be concealed at all. This was because he was about to see his daughter whom he had not seen for many years.
Feng Tianwu was his only daughter, and she was the apple of his eye.
When he found out that Feng Tianwu was safe and sound, his heart that had been in suspense for a few years finally calmed down.
When he found out about Feng Tianwu's achievements, he felt heartache and gratified at the same time.
"Uncle Feng, the Drift Blaze Sect is not far away. With my speed, I'll be able to reach it in the afternoon at the earliest."
Duan Lingtian smiled as he told Feng Wu Dao.
He had also noticed the excitement on Feng Wu Dao's face. However, he could understand how Feng Wu Dao felt. 'Tian Wu will definitely be very happy to see you, Uncle Feng.'
The moment Duan Lingtian thought of this, he felt happy for Feng Tianwu as well.
When Duan Lingtian and Feng Wu Dao were making their way to the Drift Blaze Sect, two people slowly walked out of the side hall of a magnificent palace in the Windfall Nation's capital.
The person in the lead was a middle-aged man with a cold expression on his face.
The person behind him was an old man. The old man looked very restrained as though he was worried about something.
"You're returning to the capital this time because you want to use the promise that the Fourth Imperial Highness made to you back then?"
The middle-aged man in front suddenly asked nonchalantly.
"Yes."
The old man did not dare to be negligent in front of the middle-aged man. He responded respectfully.
"You must know that once the Fourth Imperial Highness agrees to your request, you'll have nothing to do with King Qian's estate from now on."
The middle-aged man added.
"I understand."
The old man nodded. However, his eyes were still filled with determination.
All these years, he had been staying at the southern border of Windfall Nation. His heart had long been as still as water. He had never thought of returning to King Qian's estate that he had worked so hard for in the past.
However, during his most desolate period of time, he got to know his second and third brothers.
A group of bandits was born from that.
All these years, he and his two brothers depended on each other. Although they were not blood brothers, they were better than blood brothers.
However, some time ago, his third brother was killed.
It was obvious the person who killed his third brother was a powerhouse that he could not fight against.
The moment he thought of this, he recalled the King Qian's estate that he had worked so hard for in the past and the promise that King Qian, the Fourth Imperial Highness of Windfall Nation's Imperial Family, had made to him.
The reason King Qian made such a promise was because he was lucky enough to come across an opportunity and saved King Qian's life.
