Since Feng Tianwu was in closed-door cultivation, Duan Lingtian did not see Feng Tianwu this time.
"Ling Tian boy, aren't you going to stay with me?"
Feng Wu Dao who was invited by Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, to stay asked when he heard that Duan Lingtian was leaving.
"Uncle Feng, you haven't seen Tian Wu for many years. You'll be able to see her when she comes out of closed-door cultivation if you stay in Drift Blaze Sect. As for me, I have some things to do so I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you."
Duan Lingtian said apologetically.
Seeing that Duan Lingtian had made up his mind, Feng Wu Dao did not say anything else. "Be careful then."
"Don't worry."
Duan Ling Tian nodded and bade farewell to Zi Yun before he left. He left the Drift Blaze Sect and made his way back.
As soon as he left Drift Blaze Sect, tens of thousands of solidified sword rays appeared in the air with Duan Lingtian as the center.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
??
The sword rays whistled and gathered together to form a flying sword that hovered under Duan Lingtian's feet. It brought Duan Lingtian along as it flew back to Windfall Nation at a terrifying speed.
Whoosh!
Duan Lingtian's figure flashed like a ghost. His speed was ridiculously fast.
At this moment, the few Imminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivators sent by Situ Hao, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, were left far behind by Duan Lingtian.
"This …"
After the few of them appeared, they looked at each other with their mouths agape.
"Is he really an Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse like us?"
"Although his speed is not as fast as a Saint Stage powerhouse, it's much faster than us Imminent Saint Stage powerhouses … It's almost on par with a Saint Stage powerhouse's speed."
"The Interim Advisor of our Situ Clan, Master Duan, is really not a simple person … Put everything else aside, I'm afraid even the person who ranks first on the Heaven Ranking is far from his speed."
"Among all the martial techniques in the world, only speed is invincible … Master Duan might not be at a disadvantage even if he's facing the person who ranks first on the Heaven Ranking."
…
After discussing in a low voice for a while, they finally returned to the capital of Windfall Nation.
However, along the way, they completely lost sight of Duan Lingtian.
Naturally, there was a reason why Duan Lingtian was in a hurry to return to the capital of Windfall Nation and the Situ Clan.
He knew the news about the Dark Nether Sect would definitely spread to the capital of Windfall Nation in a few days.
At that time, when Situ Ming's faction learned that the Dark Nether Sect only existed in name, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.
And in that case, he might very well do something desperate.
What he needed to do was to go back and help Situ Hao and his son.
Although he wasn't a match for Sage Stage powerhouses who weren't Demonic Cultivators, he wasn't afraid of anyone who was below the Sage Stage. In fact, he could kill as many as they came.
This was his confidence, his confidence!
Just as Duan Lingtian had expected, a few days after he returned to the Situ Clan, the news about the Dark Nether Sect had already spread to the capital of Windfall Nation and the Situ Clan.
"One of the two great Saint Stage powerhouses in the Dark Nether Sect, the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect, has been killed … The Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect has gone missing."
"The Dark Nether Sect's estate is empty. The Dark Nether Sect only exists in name."
"This time, the Dark Nether Sect will most likely disappear from the history of Windfall Nation."
…
Similar rumors spread everywhere in the capital of Windfall Nation.
Following the spread of this news, the Situ Clan was completely silent.
However, Duan Lingtian knew this was just the calm before the storm.
"Master Duan, thank you."
The Clan Leader of Situ Clan, Situ Hao, paid a visit to Duan Lingtian again. His tone was filled with gratitude.
Although he had learned the news about the Dark Nether Sect only existing in name when Duan Lingtian returned, and he trusted Duan Lingtian, this news had undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to the arrogance of Situ Ming's faction. It made him even more grateful to Duan Lingtian.
"Clan Leader Situ, you don't have to be so polite. In some aspects, we're on the same boat."
We're on the same boat, "Duan Lingtian said with a faint smile.
As the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, Situ Hao, naturally, knew what Duan Lingtian meant.
Indeed, when Duan Lingtian removed the Devil Inscription on his son's body, Duan Lingtian had already stood on their side, opposing Situ Ming's faction.
Unlike Situ Hao's faction whose morale was greatly boosted, Situ Ming's faction was the complete opposite.
In Situ Ming's courtyard, a loud bang sounded. Situ Ming had smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground. "Can anyone tell me what's going on? Situ Hao and Situ Hou didn't leave the Situ Clan at all. How did the Dark Nether Sect suffer such a calamity? "
"Father, do you think this matter has something to do with Duan Lingtian?"
Situ Zhuo, who was standing at the side, asked through gritted teeth as his eyes gleamed coldly.
Previously, it was Duan Lingtian who had ruined his plan and saved Situ Hang.
Otherwise, he would have replaced Situ Hang and become the first successor of Situ Clan.
"Duan Lingtian?"
Upon hearing Situ Zhuo's words, Situ Ming frowned. "I'm already shocked that he managed to kill Zhou Shu … One of the two Saint Stage powerhouses in the Dark Nether Sect is dead, and the other is missing. Do you think he's capable of doing that?"
"Father, perhaps he didn't do it on his own accord?"
Situ Zhuo insisted. "He has an unusual relationship with Lady Feng from the Drift Blaze Sect … Perhaps, he asked the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect to kill the Supreme Elder of Dark Nether Sect through Lady Feng? Moreover, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect didn't even have to do it herself. All she had to do was to send the powerhouses under her command. "
"Impossible!"
Situ Ming shook his head. Under Situ Zhuo's puzzled gaze, he explained, "One of the two Vice Sect Leaders of Drift Blaze Sect is a good friend of mine. He has an important position in Drift Blaze Sect. Even the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect thinks highly of him. If the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect made a move, or if the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect sent someone to do it, it's impossible for him to not know about it.
As long as he knows about it, he'll definitely inform me immediately. Therefore, this possibility doesn't exist. "
Situ Ming said confidently.
He had a close relationship with the Vice Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect.
"If the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect didn't make a move, there are only two possibilities. One is that Duan Lingtian is a Saint Stage powerhouse! The second possibility is that the Dark Nether Sect has offended a powerful enemy and is digging their own grave. "
Situ Zhong, the Supreme Elder of Situ Clan who was on Situ Ming's side, chimed in.
"Perhaps, our train of thought has been wrong since the beginning. The incident at the Dark Nether Sect's stronghold in the capital was actually a signal. We all thought it was Duan Lingtian who made a move. However, other than the fact that Duan Lingtian was not in the Situ Clan at that time, there's no evidence to prove it was Duan Lingtian who made the move. "
Situ Ming took a deep breath as his train of thought gradually cleared up. "Perhaps, that incident had nothing to do with Duan Lingtian!
As for whether Duan Lingtian is a Saint Stage powerhouse, that's impossible. When he left with Lady Feng's father from Drift Blaze Sect, I used my Divine Consciousness to observe him from afar. I didn't sense the aura of a Saint Stage powerhouse from him at all. Although I didn't disturb him, I'm certain he's definitely not a Saint Stage powerhouse! "
Situ Ming said confidently.
"In that case, whether it's the incident at the Dark Nether Sect's stronghold in the capital or the incident at the Dark Nether Sect this time, it has nothing to do with Duan Lingtian?"
Situ Zhuo frowned. It was obvious he was slightly displeased.
He hoped that this incident had something to do with Duan Lingtian. If that was the case, his father would definitely kill Duan Lingtian at all costs in a fit of rage.
"That should be the case."
Situ Ming nodded. His eyes gleamed fiercely. "That Dark Nether Sect really can't do anything right! Especially that Ye Feng. I've already told him to restrain his disciples and stop causing trouble everywhere, but he refused to listen! Now, even he's gone missing. I don't even know if he's dead or alive! "
"Second Master!"
Just when Situ Ming thought the Dark Nether Sect had ended up like this because they had provoked a powerful enemy, a voice resonated from outside the courtyard.
"Come in."
Situ Ming raised an eyebrow and called out indifferently.
Soon after, Situ Ming saw one of his Situ Clan's elders bringing a middle-aged man into the courtyard.
"Second Master."
The Situ Clan's elder bowed at Situ Ming.
"Greetings, Second Master Ming."
After the ordinary-looking middle-aged man entered the courtyard, the first thing he did was to look at Situ Ming and greet him indifferently. There was a hint of arrogance in his eyes as though he disdained to bow in front of Situ Ming.
Upon seeing this, Situ Ming's expression turned grave immediately.
"Who are you? How dare you not bow when you see my father! "
Situ Zhuo's eyes gleamed coldly as he shouted in his deep voice.
Whoosh!
When the middle-aged man raised his hand, a dazzling golden order token appeared in his hand. He faced Situ Zhuo, causing his expression to turn grave immediately.
This was because he saw the three words on the golden order token.
King Qian's estate!
This person was from King Qian's estate?
The moment Situ Zhuo thought of this, his face turned pale immediately.
Heavens!
Earlier, he had actually shouted at the people from King Qian's estate?
Naturally, he knew very well what it meant for someone to be able to take out the golden order token from King Qian's estate. This meant the other party was working for King Qian.
When Situ Ming and Situ Zhong saw the golden order token from King Qian's estate, both of them could not help but frown.
"So it's the lord from King Qian's estate."
Situ Ming nodded at the middle-aged man. "May I know why you're here, Lord?"
Although the middle-aged man before him was not a Saint Stage powerhouse, since he was from King Qian's estate, he was not someone Situ Ming could easily offend. Moreover, since the other party came with the golden order token from King Qian's estate, it was obvious he was here on King Qian's orders.
"Second Master Ming, I'm here on behalf of the Fourth Imperial Highness to invite you to King Qian's estate."
The middle-aged man said bluntly.
The moment his words left his mouth, not only did Situ Ming's expression turn grave, but even Situ Zhong, Situ Zhuo, and the Situ Clan's elder's expression changed drastically.
