"Scoundrel."
Li Fei looked at Duan Lingtian and traces of shock appeared on her beautiful face. "I heard Big Sister Wang Qiong say that Big Brother Zhang's strength is extremely strong … When I asked her if Big Brother Zhang was a Nascent Soul martial artist, she only smiled and shook her head. Could it be that … Big Brother Zhang is a Void Stage expert? "
Nascent Soul martial artist?
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. Little Fei looked down on Zhang Shou Yong too much.
"Little Fei, I can only say … Even Xiong Quan is ashamed of his inferiority to Big Brother Zhang's cultivation."
Duan Lingtian slowly said to Li Fei.
"What?!"
Li Fei's beautiful face abruptly went pale when she heard Duan Lingtian.
She knew of Xiong Quan's cultivation.
Seventh level of the Void Prying Stage!
Even if it was amongst Void Prying Stage martial artists, he could be considered to be one of the top.
After being stunned for a moment, Li Fei looked at Xiong Quan, seeming to want to obtain further confirmation from Xiong Quan …
It wasn't that she didn't believe Duan Lingtian, but this matter was too shocking.
Only when she saw Xiong Quan nod did Li Fei completely confirm it, and she had a shocked expression as she muttered. "Big Brother Zhang's cultivation is actually stronger than Xiong Quan's? Doesn't that mean that Big Brother Zhang is an expert that has surpassed the seventh level of the Void Prying Stage? "
Gradually, Li Fei's eyes revealed a trace of envy.
Envy of Wang Qiong!
Wang Qiong, a woman, and a woman that couldn't cultivate, was undoubtedly lucky and happy to be able to obtain the unreserved love of such an outstanding man.
From the beginning until the end, that outstanding man had extremely tender love for her, and was even willing to give up everything to bring her to this remote Ancient City of Everlast to open a restaurant, all for the sake of helping her realize her dream that she'd always had …
"What? My Little Fei is envious of others? Do you think I'm inferior to Big Brother Zhang? "
Duan Lingtian overbearingly held Li Fei's hand as he asked with a smile.
Li Fei blushed and snorted, "You womanizer … Big Brother Zhang is much more faithful than you."
"There's no other way. You've already boarded a pirate ship. You can't escape."
Duan Lingtian chuckled and pinched Li Fei's palm. She looked at Li Fei with a coquettish expression before strolling around the night market of the Ancient City of Everlasting Desolation.
As the city with the largest trading scale in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, the night market in the Ancient City of Everlast was extremely bustling.
It was even to the extent that when Duan Ling Tian and Li Fei passed by, they would occasionally see some people having conflicts over small matters, and they would frequently kill each other …
However, the passers-by looked on coldly. They seemed to be used to this and were not surprised.
"It's really a chaotic city."
Duan Lingtian could not help but sigh.
"Bastard, let's go back."
Li Fei frowned slightly. She was not used to it.
She was different from Duan Lingtian after all.
No matter what, Duan Lingtian was a mercenary that crawled out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood in his previous life. Not only would he not be disgusted by all this, he would even feel it to be slightly intimate.
"OK."
Duan Lingtian saw Li Fei's slightly pale face under the veil and nodded. He held Li Fei's hand before turning around and returning to the inn.
Xiong Quan followed closely behind Duan Lingtian and Li Fei, vigilantly observing the surroundings …
Once someone dared to harm Duan Lingtian and Li Fei, he would make a move at the first possible moment and kill that person!
Protecting the safety of the Young Master and the people by the Young Master's side was the meaning of his existence.
After returning to the Profound Pool Inn, Duan Lingtian noticed that the female manager's actions had not changed at all, and she was still gazing with infatuation at the slovenly young man in the opposite restaurant …
Duan Lingtian shook his head and held Li Fei's hand as they returned to the room.
"Little Fei, since you're not used to this place, we'll go to the Solitary Summit tomorrow and find Shangguan Yan. After completing the Boundless Sect's Young Sect Master's instructions, we'll leave."
Duan Lingtian said to Li Fei.
Li Fei lightly nodded and quickly fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
Looking at the exhausted Li Fei, Duan Lingtian felt a bit of heartache. He lightly stroked Li Fei's beautiful face that was as smooth as jade, and his eyes were filled with tenderness like water.
The next morning, Duan Lingtian and the other two prepared to depart.
"Let's go say goodbye to Big Sister Wang Qiong and Big Brother Zhang."
Before leaving the inn, Li Fei said to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
However, when the two of them left the inn and bathed in the fresh morning mist, they noticed that the Eternal Jade Restaurant hadn't opened for business yet. Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. "Looks like we woke up too early."
"Then we'll come say goodbye to them when we return, and then we'll leave."
Li Fei suggested.
Duan Lingtian agreed and spurred his horse out with Li Fei.
Xiong Quan followed closely behind like a shadow.
After leaving the Ancient City of Everlast, Duan Lingtian's group of three headed towards the Solitary Summit.
The Solitary Summit stood in the distance, and it was even more majestic than the Seven Star Sword Sect's main peak, Dubhe Peak.
The Solitary Summit seemed to be very close, but when Duan Lingtian's group of three galloped at full speed and arrived at the foot of the Solitary Summit, it was already an hour later.
The Solitary Summit's mountain path was wide and extremely level, and it was completely capable of using a horse to ascend it.
Duan Lingtian's group of three spurred their horses to head up the Solitary Summit.
All along the way, they were able to see that there were some buildings more or less built on the mountainside of the Solitary Summit. They were either wooden houses, houses made of bricks, or luxurious buildings that were like palaces.
"The Solitary Summit is so huge, wanting to find Shangguan Yan here is simply like looking for a needle in a haystack …"
After asking all along the way, there wasn't any news related to Shangguan Yan, and it caused Duan Lingtian to be unable to help but reveal a bitter smile, as he felt this was a difficult mission.
"I thought we'd be able to directly find Shangguan Yan after arriving at the Solitary Summit … But I never imagined that no one knows him at all."
Li Fei's beautiful brows frowned and she was slightly vexed.
"The Solitary Summit is so huge, it's not strange that they don't know Shangguan Yan … Let's continue up the mountain and see if we're able to find out any news related to Shangguan Yan."
Duan Lingtian spoke slowly as he spurred his horse forward.
Finally, when they arrived near the peak of the Solitary Summit, Duan Lingtian's group of three finally found out about Shangguan Yan.
"All of you are looking for Shangguan Yan?"
A robust old man with a face covered in stubble looked at Duan Lingtian's group of three, and his fierce eyes glared. "Who are all of you to him?"
"Senior, we're members of the Boundless Sect."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled as he spoke to the robust old man.
Relying on his acute Spiritual Force and the experience of the Samsara Emperor Wu, he was able to discern that this robust old man was a ninth level Void Prying Stage expert.
His strength wasn't inferior to the Seven Star Sword Sect's Megrez Peak's Master, Wu Dao.
"Boundless Sect?"
The robust old man pondered for a moment when he heard Duan Lingtian, then muttered. "I seem to have heard of this sect somewhere … Right, that old fellow Shangguan Yan once said that the sect he was in was called the Boundless Sect!"
Finally, the robust old man reacted, and he looked at Duan Lingtian's group of three and asked. "All of you are Shangguan Yan's disciples?"
Disciples and grand-disciples?
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth twitched, yet he still nodded. "Exactly, Shangguan Yan is precisely the Ancestor of our Boundless Sect … Senior, we're looking for him for an urgent matter, do you know where he's cultivating in the Solitary Summit?"
As he finished speaking, Duan Lingtian looked at the robust old man with an expression of anticipation.
Unexpectedly, the robust old man shook his head. "I'm afraid all of you have made a wasted trip this time. Shangguan Yan had already left the Solitary Summit seven or eight years ago … I originally thought that he missed his disciples and returned to the Boundless Sect, but now it would seem that it isn't so."
The robust old man's words caused Duan Lingtian's expression to freeze.
That Shangguan Yan had already left the Hermit Summit seven or eight years ago?
Seven or eight years ago …
At that time, the Boundless Sect hadn't encountered a calamity.
Whereas the Boundless Sect's Young Sect Leader thought that Shangguan Yan was at the Solitary Summit, in other words, Shangguan Yan hadn't returned to the Boundless Sect.
"We've really made a wasted trip."
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a bitter smile as he shook his head.
Shangguan Yan had left the Solitary Summit and his whereabouts were unknown.
The Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom was extremely large. Not to mention the current him, even the Samsara Emperor Wu at his prime might not be able to find Shangguan Yan under the circumstances that he didn't have any clues.
"Thank you, Senior."
Duan Lingtian bid his farewells to the robust old man before leaving with Li Fei and Xiong Quan.
"Xiong Quan, according to your knowledge, besides the Solitary Summit, where would Shangguan Yan go?"
Duan Lingtian held onto his last trace of hope as he asked Xiong Quan.
Xiong Quan laughed bitterly. "Young Master, I don't know as well."
Although Xiong Quan was a Guardian of the Boundless Sect, he'd only entered the Boundless Sect later on and had never seen Shangguan Yan.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He knew that wanting to find Shangguan Yan now was no different than searching for a needle in a haystack.
This matter could only be temporarily put aside.
"Giddy up!"
Duan Lingtian called out to Li Fei, and the two of them spurred their horses out together, following the wide and gentle mountain path to head down the Solitary Summit.
Xiong Quan spurred his horse to follow closely behind like a shadow.
It was said that going down the mountain was easy, but going up the mountain was difficult, and these words weren't false in the slightest.
The time Duan Lingtian's group of three used to arrive at the foot of the Solitary Summit was only half the time they used to ascend the mountain …
This was even after discounting the time they used to inquire about Shangguan Yan's whereabouts all along the way.
"Scoundrel, let's go to the Ancient City of Everlast to say our farewells to Big Sister Wang Qiong and Big Brother Zhang."
Li Fei lightly smiled as she spoke to Duan Lingtian, and Li Fei, whose face was covered by a veil, was still delicate and moving.
"OK."
Duan Lingtian's eyes emitted a wisp of gentleness as he lightly nodded.
"Giddy up!"
Right at this moment, a shocked shout suddenly sounded out from afar.
A blue clothed young man spurred his Ferghana Horse to dash towards the Solitary Summit with a speed that was swift …
Behind the young man was an old man, who was following closely behind him.
"Let's go."
Duan Lingtian glanced indifferently at the blue clothed young man, then called out to Li Fei and Xiong Quan, preparing to leave the Solitary Summit.
Right at this moment.
"Halt!"
Duan Lingtian noticed that when the blue clothed young man was about to pass by them and enter the Solitary Summit, he seemed to have noticed something and suddenly pulled on the reins, forcefully stopping the Ferghana Horse.
Along with a burst of dust, the Ferghana Horse beneath the young man stood still.
When Duan Lingtian saw the gaze that was revealed from the blue clothed young man's eyes, his face couldn't help but sink.
