"Lord Xia Dou."
Shi Li had a bitter smile on his face. "I asked someone to inquire about it at the Seven Star Sword Sect. One year ago, that Duan Lingtian left the Seven Star Sword Sect and hasn't returned until now."
Xia Dou!
The Vice President of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Jade Magnolia Trading Company.
An existence at the sixth level of the Void Prying Stage.
Even if he was the Shi Clan's Patriarch, he didn't dare be disrespectful in the slightest before Xia Dou.
After all, even their Shi Clan only had a single Void Stage expert, and it was only a first level Void Prying Stage martial artist …
"If Hao wasn't killed by that Duan Lingtian, then with his natural talent, he would surely be able to become the second Void Stage expert of my Shi Clan!"
When he thought up to here, Shi Li's face sank.
"You've already told me about this yesterday."
Xia Dou glanced indifferently at Shi Li. "Have you found out where he went?"
Shi Li shook his head. "Not for now. Don't worry, Lord Xia Dou. That Duan Lingtian crippled my daughter's cultivation and even killed my son … I, Shi Li, am absolutely irreconcilable with him! So long as I have news of him, I'll surely notify Lord Xia Dou at the first possible moment! "
Xia Dou's arrival allowed Shi Li to see the hope of taking revenge.
In the past, although he knew that his son, Shi Hao, was killed by Duan Lingtian, he didn't dare act rashly.
Because Duan Lingtian was an outstanding disciple of the Seven Star Sword Sect, and the Shi Clan wouldn't allow him to take a risk for a personal enmity and bring a calamity to the Shi Clan …
However, some time ago, this Vice President of the Jade Magnolia Trading Company, Xia Dou, held a portrait and came over in a threatening manner, allowing him to see hope.
His daughter, Shi Yan, recognized with a glance that the young man in the portrait in Xia Dou's hand was precisely that Duan Lingtian!
Thus, he invited Xia Dou into the Shi Clan Estate.
Plotting a grand scheme of revenge!
"Duan Lingtian, you deserve death … You actually dared to kill Lord Xia Dou's only son!"
Cold lights flickered within Shi Li's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer.
"Patriarch, Patriarch!"
Right at this moment, a figure rushed into the main hall without any prior notice.
Xia Dou frowned when he saw the Shi Clan disciples directly trespassing, and he grunted coldly. "Patriarch Shi Li, looks like the rules of your Shi Clan aren't much … Could it be that anyone can casually trespass into this Shi Clan Audience Hall?"
Shi Li was a little embarrassed. He looked at the Shi family disciple and asked in a low voice, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Patriarch."
The Shi family disciple said excitedly, "The person in the portrait has appeared!"
Pa!
Just as Shi Li's pupils constricted, Xia Dou, who was sitting to the side and had just picked up a teacup to drink tea, suddenly trembled and crushed the teacup in his hand.
Xia Dou stood up and looked at the Shi Clan disciple as he shouted in shock, "You said the person in the portrait has appeared?"
The Shi family disciple hurriedly nodded, "Yes, I saw him enter the city with my own eyes."
"Patriarch!"
"Patriarch!"
…
At this moment, several figures flashed into the main hall.
"My cousin found the young man in the portrait in Quiet Elegance Restaurant."
"My friend noticed it too."
"I saw it with my own eyes."
…
These Shi family disciples were similar to the Shi family disciple from before, they had all come to inform the Patriarch.
"Good, good!"
Xia Dou laughed loudly as an imposing aura soared from his body. Although he didn't intentionally extend it out, it still caused the Shi family disciples present to go ghastly pale and shiver.
"Guang, Father will go take revenge for you right now!"
Xia Dou's voice was like a thunderclap, and it shook the main hall to the point it seemed as if it was shaking.
After eating and drinking their fill, Duan Lingtian's group of four left the restaurant and galloped their horses out of Black Bamboo City.
On the way, Duan Lingtian's brows knit.
His Spiritual Force told him that there were many people spying on him from the shadows and following him now.
"Brother Ling Tian, I've heard of the seven great sword peaks of the Seven Star Sword Sect as well … Qiong and I will send you to the entrance of the Seven Star Sword Sect and take a look at the elegance of the seven great sword peaks. How about it?"
Zhang Shou Yong looked at Duan Lingtian and lightly smiled as he spoke.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian nodded and lightly smiled, and his smile contained gratitude mixed within.
He knew clearly in his heart.
Zhang Shou Yong had surely noticed the people following him, and that was why he made such a decision.
"Then let's go slower. I still have to chat with Big Sister Wang Qiong, and I don't know when we'll meet again."
Li Fei's beautiful eyes flashed and were suffused with a sheen of reluctance as she suggested.
Duan Lingtian and Zhang Shou Yong nodded.
The group of four and two Ferghana Horses walked out of Black Bamboo City and headed directly towards the Seven Star Sword Sect …
Because of Li Fei's suggestion, Duan Lingtian and Zhang Shou Yong intentionally slowed down their speed and didn't gallop wildly.
Li Fei and Wang Qiong chatted to their heart's content before they left, and they laughed and talked to their hearts' content.
Black Bamboo City wasn't far from the Seven Star Sword Sect, and even if they slowed down, Duan Lingtian's group of four had already traveled half the distance after half an hour.
"The Seven Star Sword Sect really deserves its reputation!"
Zhang Shou Yong looked at the seven sword peaks that stood in the distance and couldn't help but praise.
"I heard long ago that the Seven Star Sword Sect has seven great sword peaks, and it's a great spectacle in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom. Now that I've seen it today, it deserves its reputation."
Wang Qiong nodded in deep agreement.
Perhaps, any one of the seven great sword peaks was inferior to the Solitary Peak near the Ancient City of Everlast.
However, when the seven sword peaks gathered together and stood there for a long time, it brought about a kind of visual shock to others ….
The seven great sword peaks were like seven sharp swords that charged into the sky!
It seemed as if they wanted to pierce seven holes in the sky.
Right at this moment.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
…
A string of dense sounds of horse hooves interrupted Zhang Shou Yong and Wang Qiong who were admiring the seven sword peaks.
Zhang Shou Yong's face sank and a cold light flashed within his eyes.
A trace of displeasure appeared on Wang Qiong's beautiful face as well.
When Duan Lingtian and Zhang Shou Yong turned their horses around, they could see over 10 tall horses dashing over with the three Ferghana Horses in the lead, and their target was directly at them.
"Halt!"
"Halt ~"
…
In next to no time, the people that sat on the over 10 tall horses surrounded Duan Lingtian's group of four, and they seemed to have transformed into a heaven encompassing net that caused Duan Lingtian's group of four to have no place to escape.
"Shi Yan!"
Li Fei's gaze was sharp, and she noticed the young woman following by the side of the dignified middle aged man with a glance.
The young woman's features were warped and savage, and her triangular eyes flickered with a gloomy sheen …
It was precisely the former Seven Star Sword Sect's Alkaid Peak disciple, Shi Yan!
The Shi Yan that had her cultivation crippled by Duan Lingtian.
The younger sister of the former number one disciple in the Seven Star Sword Sect's outer court, Shi Hao, Shi Yan.
"Bitch!"
Shi Yan looked at Li Fei, and her triangular eyes emitted frightening icy coldness. "Today, you and your man will die … Crippling my cultivation and killing my brother, none of you can escape!"
Shi Yan's voice was filled with gloomy coldness.
"Clean your mouth!"
Wang Qiong's beautiful face went grim when she heard Shi Yan insulting Li Fei, and she said in a low voice.
"What does me insulting this bitch have to do with you?"
Shi Yan glanced coldly at Wang Qiong and grunted. "You and your man can only blame yourselves for being unlucky today, actually walking together with these two jinxes … All of you are bound to be dragged down by them."
"You mean you want to kill the four of us?"
Zhang Shou Yong who sat behind Wang Qiong had a calm expression as he asked indifferently.
Right when Shi Yan intended to speak.
"Exactly, all three of you will be buried with this Duan Lingtian today!"
An aged voice that contained extreme coldness and indifference sounded out, and it was an old man in embroidered clothes that sat on a Ferghana Horse that spoke.
Presently, this group of people seemed to have taken this old man as their leader.
"This person …"
Duan Lingtian looked at the old man in embroidered clothes and frowned, as he kept having the feeling that the old man was slightly familiar, but he could be sure that he'd never seen this old man before.
If he'd seen him before, it would be impossible for him to not have any impression of him.
Relying on his formidable Spiritual Force and the lifetime experience of Samsara Emperor Wu, Duan Lingtian was able to discern that the old man's cultivation ought to be at the sixth level of the Void Prying Stage.
Zhang Shou Yong's calm face sank slightly when he heard the old man.
A Void Prying Stage martial artist dared talk nonsense before him?
"Duan Lingtian!"
Meanwhile, the dignified middle aged man by Shi Yan's side glared angrily at Duan Lingtian and said coldly, "You first crippled my daughter's cultivation, then killed my son, Shi Hao … Today, I, Shi Li, will make your blood splatter on the spot!"
"You're Shi Hao's father?"
Duan Lingtian glanced indifferently at the dignified middle aged man, then his gaze descended onto the old man in embroidered clothes. "You're taking revenge for Shi Hao as well?"
"Duan Lingtian, this is Lord Xia Dou, Lord Xia Dou is the Vice President of the Jade Magnolia Trading Company … I truly never imagined that you actually dared kill Lord Xia Dou's son, you're simply audacious to the extreme!"
The old man in embroidered clothes hadn't spoken when Shi Li had already sneered.
Jade Magnolia Trading Company's Vice President?
Xia Dou?
Duan Lingtian frowned, and he seemed to have heard of it somewhere.
"Scoundrel, Black Wind City."
Li Fei reminded.
Duan Lingtian came to a sudden understanding as he recalled.
At that time, when he'd just left the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Imperial City and passed by Black Wind City at the border between the Crimson Sky Kingdom and the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, he'd participated in an auction.
After the auction ended, there was once a person who spied on the infant Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse he'd won.
Later on, that person and the two old men by his side were all killed by Xiong Quan.
That person seemed to be the person in charge of the Jade Magnolia Trading Company in Black Wind City.
"You're Xia Guang's father?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the old man in embroidered clothes, as he clearly remembered the name of that person from that day.
"Exactly, I'm Xia Guang's father, Xia Dou!"
Xia Dou's gaze was exceedingly icy cold and contained boundless killing intent. "Looks like you still remember my son that was killed by you … I've searched for you for an entire year and finally found clues related to you in Black Bamboo City! Looks like even the heavens want me to take revenge for my son. "
As he finished speaking, Xia Dou's face flushed red and he was extremely excited.
He stared at Duan Lingtian with a gaze as if he was looking at a dead person.
"Xia Dou, you're the Vice President of the Jade Magnolia Trading Company at any rate. Could it be that you don't want to know why I killed your son that day?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Xia Dou and asked with a low voice.
At that time, if it wasn't for Xia Guang arousing covetous intentions towards the infant Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse in his possession and colluding with the members of the Ma Clan Auction House to kill them and seize the infant Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse, he wouldn't have asked Xiong Quan to kill Xia Guang.
As far as he was concerned, all of this was something Xia Guang brought upon himself.
