Chapter 2045: Azure Cloud Mansion’s Crisis


Li An who was astute noticed the astonishment in the Watcher’s eyes even though it had only flashed in his eyes for a second. An oppressive energy surged out of his body and suppressed the Watcher as he asked, “Why? Do you know Duan Ling Tian?”


In just a second, the Watcher’s face turned pale. Li An had extended his Spiritual Energy into his brain as he cast the Soul Searching Secret Tactic! The Watcher was instantly put under Li An’s control.


After Li An gained control of the Watcher, he asked in his deep voice, “Do you know Duan Ling Tian?”


“Yes.” The Watcher’s eyes were lifeless and he seemed like he was in a daze as he nodded the instant he heard Li An’s question.


When Li An heard his words, his eyes lit up and his expression turned solemn, “Then why did you say you’ve never seen the person in the portrait I’ve shown you earlier?”


“It’s true. I’ve never seen that person in the portrait before,” the Watcher replied.


“The Duan Ling Tian that you know doesn’t look like this?” Li An could not help but frown when he heard the Watcher’s words.


Was it possible the Duan Ling Tian that the Watcher knew was a different person from the Duan Ling Tian in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect? Li An was certain Duan Ling Tian did not put on any disguise at all, and he was certain the Watcher was not lying since he had cast the Soul Searching Secret Tactic on him.


“He doesn’t look like this,” the Watcher replied frankly, in a daze, when he heard Li An’s question. The Duan Ling Tian he knew did not look like the person in the portrait.


“Tell me everything about this Duan Ling Tian whom you know. Don’t hide anything from me,” Li An commanded.


Although Li An was quite certain the Duan Ling Tian the Watcher had mentioned was a different person from the Duan Ling Tian he knew, he wanted confirmation.


After all, Duan Ling Tian was not a common name. Moreover, since the Watcher knew Duan Ling Tian, it meant that the Duan Ling Tian he had mentioned was not an ordinary person in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Duan Ling Tian from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect was not an ordinary person too. Li An felt that things were too coincidental. Therefore, he continued to interrogate the Watcher.


Since the Watcher was under the control of the Soul Searching Secret Tactic that Li An cast, it was only natural that he answered Li An’s questions truthfully. He began to reveal everything he knew about Duan Ling Tian. From the Watcher’s words, Li An learned that the Duan Ling Tian from the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land was an ultimate genius. However, that was only limited to the Lower Province. In the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, only those who possessed violet Innate Spiritual Roots were qualified to be called ultimate geniuses.


“He has gone to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land through the Inter-province Transportation Formation not long ago?” Li An’s eyes brightened immediately when he heard that Duan Ling Tian had gone to the Upper Province not long ago.


“He knows a mysterious Disguising Secret Tactic. No matter how one uses one’s Divine Consciousness or Spiritual Energy to probe him, one wouldn’t be able to discover he’s in disguise?” When Li An learned about this from the Watcher, he was almost certain the Duan Ling Tian the Watcher knew and the Duan Ling Tian who had offended him in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect was the same person.


Duan Ling Tian must have used a Disguising Secret Tactic on himself. Due to how extraordinary the disguise was, even Li An did not see through his disguise!


“Duan Ling Tian is the Young Mansion Master of the quasi third-rate force, the Azure Cloud Mansion, in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land?” Li An’s eyes shone coldly when he was certain that both Duan Ling Tians were the same person. “Doesn’t this mean his family is in the Azure Cloud Mansion? Where’s the Azure Cloud Mansion located?” Li An asked eagerly as he looked at the Watcher.


As soon as Li An had gotten his answer from the Watcher, he quickly rose into the air and flew to the Azure Cloud Mansion. The group of Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses sent by Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, followed Li An’s lead. The group of people flew toward the Azure Cloud Mansion ostentatiously.



Currently, the Azure Cloud Mansion was tranquil. None of the people knew a storm was about to hit them. A huge crisis would soon hit the Azure Cloud Mansion, a quasi third-rate force in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.


Duan Ling Tian who was in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect in the far away Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land was completely unaware of this. He thought Zhu Lu Qi had warned his father, Duan Ru Feng, and his father would make arrangements to hide.


It did not cross Duan Ling Tian’s mind that Zhu Lu Qi would be transported to the Land of Exile where the devils lived when he was in the Inter-province Transportation Formation.


The Land of Exile was another realm located adjacent to the realm where the Dao Martial Saint Land and the three great Mortal Continents belonged to. Both of these realms were actually one mundane realm.


Since Zhu Lu Qi had been sent to the Land of Exile where the devils lived, Duan Ru Feng and the others at the Azure Cloud Mansion did not receive Duan Ling Tian’s warning. They were unaware that a huge danger was heading their way.



“Patrolling the Enforcement Hall is really boring.” Currently, Duan Ling Tian was on duty, patrolling the Enforcement Hall. In the next one month, his duty was to patrol a particular area in the Enforcement Hall.


“Huh?” Duan Ling Tian who was patrolling suddenly looked up into the distance as though he had noticed something. It was the direction where the Main Hall was located.


Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+


As soon as Duan Ling Tian looked over, two figures flew over to him rapidly and appeared before him in just a blink of an eye.


“Dong Lin?” W hen the incomers appeared before Duan Ling Tian, he instantly identified one of them. It was none other than Dong Lin, the only son of the Enforcement Hall’s Vice Hall Master Dong Yuan Jin, who had come looking for trouble with him in the Fire Remuneration Palace previously. However, he did not know who the other person was.


The other person was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and a medium build. His appearance was so ordinary that one would not be able to pick him out from a crowd of people. He was looking at Duan Ling Tian calmly at this moment. n.o.body could tell what was running through his mind at this moment.


“It’s Elder Dong Lin!”


“My goodness! It’s Elder Tian Dong! Why is he here?”


As soon as Dong Lin and the middle-aged man appeared near Duan Ling Tian, the few Bronze Flame Elders on patrol duty began to gather.


Based on their words, it could be seen that they were shocked.


“Elder Tian Dong?” Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow when he heard their words. He was not unfamiliar with the name Tian Dong. When he had severed his friends.h.i.+p with Liu Yun, Liu Yun had mentioned this person.


Tian Dong was an elite powerhouse among the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s Silver Flame Elders. Among the Silver Flame Elders, his strength could be ranked in the top three! In the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect’s Enforcement Hall, Tian Dong was undoubtedly the strongest Silver Flame Elder. He’s the Enforcement Hall’s First Silver Flame Elder!


Duan Ling Tian was slightly stunned when he found out the man standing next to Dong Lin was Tian Dong. It did not occur to him that Dong Lin would be able to get such a strong Enforcement Hall’s elder to help him. To be more precise, he did not think Dong Lin’s father was so influential that he could get someone so strong to help Dong Lin.


Before Duan Ling Tian found out the middle-aged man’s ident.i.ty, he had already suspected Dong Lin had brought the middle-aged man here to deal with him. Everything was just as he had expected. After he came to the Enforcement Hall, Dong Lin had brought someone to look for trouble with him. Although they could not kill or cripple him, they could still torture him in different ways.


“Duan Ling Tian, we meet again.” Dong Lin looked at Duan Ling Tian with a smug smile on his face. His eyes were burning as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was as though it could burn through anything.


Currently, Dong Lin was no longer humble like when he had apologized to Duan Ling Tian. He was smug as though he had already achieved his goal. He had only dared to confront Duan Ling Tian because of Tian Dong. With Tian Dong here, he stood with his back straight. If Tian Dong was not here, he would not have dared to act so arrogantly.


“That’s right! We meet again.” Duan Ling Tian remained calm when he saw how arrogant Dong Lin was. He did not seem afraid even though Dong Ling managed to find someone like Tian Dong to help him.


Dong Lin was angered when he saw how calm Duan Ling Tian was. However, he still forced a smile on his face as he asked, “Duan Ling Tian, do you know why I came here today?”


“Well, you’ve found someone to help you teach me a lesson,” Duan Ling Tian answered indifferently.


“You know?” Dong Lin was stunned when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s reply. “Since you know why I’m here, aren’t you afraid? Perhaps, you don’t know the person standing next to me?”


“I know who he is…” Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly as he looked at the middle-aged man standing next to Dong Lin, “He’s Tian Dong, the Enforcement Hall’s First Silver Flame Elder.”


Duan Ling Tian’s words stunned Dong Lin and the few Bronze Flame Elders watching by the side. How could he remain so calm even though he knew Elder Tian Dong?
