"Father, Junior Brother Ling Tian has already decided to go to the Upper Province. Why is he joining the Azure Cloud Mansion for no reason?"
Gu Li was speechless when he heard Gu Ci Yun's words.
"That's true. However, why is he going to the Azure Cloud Mansion?"
Gu Ci Yun nodded.
Indeed, since he had already decided to head to the Upper Province, there was no need for that little fellow to join the Azure Cloud Mansion since it would not benefit him at all.
"The Azure Cloud Mansion is his home. What can he do when he returns? Of course, it's to reunite with his family. "
Gu Li sighed.
"What?!"
Gu Ci Yun's eyes widened. "The Azure Cloud Mansion is Little Tian's home? What do you mean by that? What's the relationship between Little Tian and the Azure Cloud Mansion? That's not right either! If he's related to the Azure Cloud Mansion, why would he come to our Mystical Sky Mansion for no reason? "
"Moreover, if he's really from the Azure Cloud Mansion, with his innate talent, he's definitely not someone who has no achievements. I've never heard of a person called Duan Lingtian in the Azure Cloud Mansion before this!"
Gu Ci Yun shook his head as he spoke.
"Father, do you still remember Duan Rufeng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?"
Gu Li asked.
Although Gu Ci Yun did not know why his son suddenly asked this question, he still nodded. "Of course I remember! The Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Rufeng, is a Martial Cultivator from the Mortal Continent. He's also the only person in the history of the Dobusei Subterranean who came from the Mortal Continent to control a peak force! "
"Then what if I said … Junior Brother Ling Tian is also a Martial Cultivator from the Mortal Continent?"
Gu Li asked again.
"What?! Little Tian is also a Martial Cultivator from the Mortal Continent? "
Gu Ci Yun was instantly petrified. After a long while, he muttered in astonishment, "When did the Martial Cultivators from the Mortal Continent become so abnormal?"
"Father, Junior Brother Ling Tian is the only son of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion!"
Gu Li continued.
His words were like a heavy bomb, and Gu Ci Yun was dumbstruck. He only regained his senses after a while, and looked at Gu Li in shock. "Li 'er, is what you said true? Little Tian is the only son of Mansion Master Duan of the Azure Cloud Mansion? "
"Absolutely!"
Gu Li nodded.
"However, since he's the only son of Mansion Master Duan of the Azure Cloud Mansion, why would he come to our Mystical Sky Mansion?"
Gu Ci Yun could not figure it out.
However, after Gu Li's explanation, he came to a realization.
As it turned out, Duan Lingtian did not go to the Azure Cloud Mansion immediately after he arrived in the Dao Martial Saint Land because he had lost the clue his father had left for him.
It was only recently when he heard about some of the deeds of Duan Rufeng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion and his name that he was certain of it.
The Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion was his father!
He immediately rushed to the Azure Cloud Mansion to reunite with his family.
"It's fortunate that Zhao Jin and Zhao Deng didn't know about Little Tian's background. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to make a move on Little Tian even if they were given a hundred guts!"
Gu Ci Yun said as his eyes gleamed.
"Father, Junior Brother Ling Tian's identity is special, and it's not good to expose it. Not only is he the son of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, but he's also the one who possesses the Devilseal Tablet! If news of him possessing the Devilseal Tablet spreads out, I'm afraid even the Azure Cloud Mansion won't be able to protect him. Even the powerhouses from the Upper Province will be attracted by the Devilseal Tablet. "
Gu Li said with a worried expression on his face.
"That's right. The temptation of the Devilseal Tablet is too great!"
Gu Ci Yun nodded in agreement. Then, he looked at Gu Li and continued to say, "For this reason, it's all the more reason we can't expose Little Tian's background. Otherwise, what awaits him and the Azure Cloud Mansion is a disaster. After all, a man's wealth is his own ruin! "
"Understood."
Gu Li said solemnly.
On the other hand, after Zhao Jin and Zhao Deng left, they felt even more frustrated.
Up until now, they still had no clue how their grandson and son had died.
They had a lot of strength, but there was nothing they could do about it.
"If we want to find Ji'er's murderer, there's only one way to go now..."
Zhao Jin said in a deep voice.
"Father, are you referring to Ling Tian?"
Zhao Deng asked.
"That's right!"
Zhao Jin nodded before he continued to say, "As far as I know, Ling Tian had made an appointment with that lad from Gu Clan to go to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. However, he has left on his own! Although that lad from Gu Clan has broken through to the Divine Saint Stage, he still hasn't left with Ling Tian.
I have a feeling that Ling Tian hasn't gone to the Upper Province yet. Moreover, based on what you said, he didn't leave in the direction of the Upper Province. "
Zhao Jin said in one breath.
"Father, where did Ling Tian go? Why don't we ask Gu Li about it?"
Zhao Deng said as his eyes flashed fiercely.
"Hurmph! Do you think Gu Li will tell you? "
Zhao Jin snorted coldly as he looked at Zhao Deng as though he was looking at an idiot.
If it was someone else who looked at him like that, Zhao Deng would have long gone berserk. However, the person who looked at him like that was his father. Even if he was unhappy, he did not dare to show it.
"Father, what do you think we should do?"
Zhao Deng asked again.
"Keep an eye on that lad from Gu Clan. He's the most important clue if we want to find Ling Tian! It's fine if he doesn't leave the Mystical Sky Mansion. However, once he leaves, follow him and see if he's going to look for Ling Tian, "Zhao Jin said.
His eyes lit up.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"
Zhao Deng's eyes lit up immediately. At the same time, he secretly admired his father. As expected, the older the wiser!
Duan Lingtian was completely unaware of what was happening in the Mystical Sky Mansion.
Currently, he had already arrived at the vicinity of the Azure Cloud Mansion's estate.
The Azure Cloud Mansion's estate was located at the south of the Dobusei Subterranean. It was located above a vast and boundless lake.
If one stood by the side of the lake, one would not be able to see the other side of the lake. It felt as though one was standing by the sea and looking at the endless ocean.
This was the Crouching Dragon Lake that surrounded the Azure Cloud Mansion's estate.
The entire lake was like a divine dragon coiling around the Azure Cloud Mansion's estate. That was how the Crouching Dragon Lake got its name!
"Azure Cloud Mansion … Mother, Tian 'er will be able to see you soon!"
"Little Fei 'er, I'm here … I'm here to see you and our child!"
"Father, I'm here!"
Outside the Crouching Dragon Lake, Duan Lingtian hovered in the air as he looked in the direction of the Crouching Dragon Lake. His emotions were surging.
After a long while, Duan Lingtian finally calmed down before he stepped into the air and entered the Crouching Dragon Lake.
The instant Duan Lingtian entered the Crouching Dragon Lake, the calm surface of the Crouching Dragon Lake suddenly began to ripple. In the end, a loud bang reverberated in the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
After the loud bang reverberated in the air, a series of loud bangs reverberated in the air.
One after another, gigantic figures emerged from the Crouching Dragon Lake, breaking the calm surface of the Crouching Dragon Lake.
"Who's there? How dare you trespass into the Azure Cloud Mansion's estate!"
At the same time, a thunderous voice resonated in Duan Lingtian's ears.
As soon as Duan Lingtian stepped onto the surface of the Crouching Dragon Lake, ten gigantic figures emerged from the Crouching Dragon Lake. They rose into the air and surrounded him like stars surrounding the moon.
"Wild beasts?"
At the same time, Duan Lingtian's eyes landed on the ten gigantic figures around him. He discovered they were ten gigantic wild beasts.
There was a black figure standing on the backs of these wild beasts. They were all soldiers dressed in black armor with cold expressions on their faces.
These soldiers seemed to emit waves of coldness, giving people a bone-chilling feeling.
"Black Armored Guards?"
During his journey here, Duan Lingtian had deliberately asked around about the Azure Cloud Mansion. He knew the Black Armored Guards were the most elite guards in the Azure Cloud Mansion.
The weakest Black Armored Guards were at the Early Eminent Saint Stage!
In the Azure Cloud Mansion, only those who were at the Early Eminent Saint Stage and above were qualified to become a Black Armored Guard.
Due to the fact that the Black Armored Guards were the elites of the Azure Cloud Mansion, there were only 1,000 of them. They were collectively known as the Black Armored Army!
It was said that the Black Armored Army of the Azure Cloud Mansion consisted of one Chiliarch, ten Centurions, and 100 Decurions.
The Chiliarch was also the Commander of the Black Armored Army. He was one of the Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouses in the Azure Cloud Mansion.
The ten Centurions below him were all at the Mastery Divine Saint Stage or the peak of the Divine Saint Stage!
As for the 100 Decurions, the weakest one was at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage!
"No wonder people say the Azure Cloud Mansion and the Mountainshade Black Market are much stronger than the other quasi third-rate forces. Put aside the Mountainshade Black Market, just the strength of the Azure Cloud Mansion alone is far from what the Mystical Sky Mansion can compare to! Among the 1,000 Black Armored Guards, there are ten Mastery Divine Saint Stage powerhouses and even those at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage. The Commander of the Black Armored Army is even an Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouse! "
Duan Lingtian could not help but feel shocked.
However, this force that shocked him was the force under his father's command.
"It has only been twenty years since my cheapskate father disappeared and reappeared on Cloud Continent. In just twenty years, not only did he make a name for himself in the Dobusei Subterranean, but he even became the new Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion. Not only that, but he also led the Azure Cloud Mansion to become a top force in the Lower Province that's comparable to the Mountainshade Black Market!"
Duan Lingtian could not figure out how his cheapskate father managed to achieve this in such a short time.
If it was him, he would not have been able to do it.
"Leave the Crouching Dragon Lake in ten breaths. Otherwise, die!"
One of the ten Black Armored Guards said coldly when he saw Duan Ling Tian ignoring them. He was riding on a wild beast when he emerged from the Crouching Dragon Lake.
The one who spoke just now was also this person. He was clearly the leader of the dozen or so black-armored guards.
Duan Lingtian activated his Divine Eye and instantly probed his cultivation base. It was at the peak of the Eminent Saint Stage!
'It seems like he's a Decurion.'
Duan Lingtian speculated inwardly.
"Decurion, the reason I came to the Azure Cloud Mansion is to see Mansion Master Duan."
Duan Lingtian did not reveal his identity and say he was their Young Mansion Master. He only said he wanted to see the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion.
"Who are you? Why do you want to see our Lord Mansion Master?"
