Chapter 1600: Li Rou Is On The Verge Of Breaking Down
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Moon Illumination Sect!” Soon after, Han Xue Nai and the others learned about Duan Ling Tian’s whereabouts from the clues he left behind. They immediately left Cloud Continent and returned to the Dao Martial Saint Land. Their destination was, naturally, the Moon Illumination Sect!
Currently, the people from Moon Illumination Sect finally discovered that something was amiss when they realized the few Saint Stage powerhouses and their Sect Leader had not made an appearance for a very long time.
When some of the inner court elders went to the forbidden area of Moon Illumination Sect, they discovered the Sect Leader and the others had vanished without a trace.
Initially, they tried to keep this a secret. However, there was no concealing the truth. Soon after, news about the disappearance of the Sect Leader and the few Supreme Elders spread in the entire Moon Illumination Sect, causing everyone to feel like they were in danger.
As the news continued to spread out, the other great eight sects also became restless, waiting for their chance to cause trouble. Whether it was sects that used to have a bad or good relations.h.i.+p with the Moon Illumination Sect, the moment they found out Moon Illumination Sect no longer had any Saint Stage powerhouses, all of them began to covet the resources in the sect. Due to that, each of them began to make their move one by one.
The Moon Illumination Sect instantly fell apart.
In order to save themselves, the few Vice Sect Leaders took hold of a great number of Moon Illumination Sect’s resources and fled one after another.
As for the Moon Illumination Sect’s elders, deacons, and disciples, all of them were in a perilous situation. In the end, the sect ceased to exist except in name.
When Han Xue Nai and the others arrived at the Moon Illumination Sect, they realized the sect had already fallen. Although they learned about what happened to Duan Ling Tian through a few of the sect’s disciples, those disciples only knew what happened to him before he left the sect. Most of the other disciples did not know anything at all.
Due to this reason, they hit a roadblock again at this juncture.
“Where are you exactly, Brother Ling Tian?” Han Xue Nai’s face was filled with anxiety. From what she learned from the Moon Illumination Sect’s disciples, Duan Ling Tian’s situation when he left did not seem very promising.
Now that the clues only led them to a dead end, they could only return to the Greenwave Han Mansion.
However, the moment she returned to Greenwave Han Mansion, she learned about the incident where Li Fei had been taken away by a man from Qing Nu. Her face immediately turned grave. “Qing Nu! What’s going on?”
“Young Miss, the man who brought Li Fei away must be your Brother Ling Tian’s father’s man,” Qing Nu replied, “That was what he said.”
“Brother Ling Tian’s father?” Upon hearing that, she sighed in relief. At the same time, she asked, “Did that man who brought Sister Li Fei left any clue behind?”
“No.” Qing Nu shook her. At the same time, she swallowed the words that were hovering on the tip of her tongue.
“Is there anything else?” Han Xue Nai had been following Qing Nu since she was young. Naturally, she knew her very well. When she saw the expression on Qing Nu’s face, she saw through her immediately.
Qing Nu sighed as she recounted what had happened before Li Fei left.
“Han Jin Nian had bad intention toward Li Fei, and at the critical moment, that powerhouse arrived and killed him before bringing Li Fei away,” Qing Nu said.
“Han Jin Nian!” Han Xue Nai’s face turned solemn when she found out Han Jin Nian tried to harm Li Fei. A cold and murderous glint appeared in her beautiful autumn eyes. It was as though she would kill Han Jin Nian immediately if he was standing in front of her.
At this moment, even the eyes of Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White had turned red. They were all furious.
“Young Miss, he’s dead,” Qing Nu reminded her when she sensed Han Xue Nai’s killing intent.
“Good!” Little Black growled.
Little Gold and Little White nodded as an expression of satisfaction appeared on their faces.
“Keep this a secret… If Elder Han Xin finds out, I’m afraid he won’t let the matter go.” Qing Nu sighed.
“So what if he finds out?” Han Xue Nai snorted indifferently. “Han Jin Nian was in the wrong! It’s a good thing he didn’t accomplish his goal. Otherwise, how am I supposed to face Sister Li Fei and Brother Ling Tian? If Han Jin Nian was here, I’ll definitely kill him even if it would enrage Elder Han Xin.”
No matter what, Han Jin Nian was dead. Due to this reason, Han Xue Nai’s anger had also dissipated by half. “What’s more important right now is to find out who had taken Sister Fei’er away… I’m certain the powerhouse has to be extremely powerful to be able to bring Li Fei away without alerting anyone from Greenwave Han Mansion! It seems like Brother Ling Tian’s father is an extraordinary person in the Dao Martial Saint Land.”
Although the person who brought Li Fei away had revealed his background, Han Xue Nai still did not feel fully at ease, and she was desperate to find out Li Fei’s whereabouts. However, it did not cross her mind that Li Fei would be at the Azure Cloud Mansion!
The Azure Cloud Mansion was a quasi third-rate force in the Lower Province of Dao Martial Saint Land and did not have many interactions with a fifth-rate force like the Greenwave Han Mansion. Due to this reason, no matter how hard Han Xue Nai searched for Li Fei with the Greenwave Han Mansion’s force, she still could not find her.
At the distant Azure Cloud Mansion, Li Rou was extremely happy when Li Fei was brought back, especially when she saw the child in Li Fei’s embrace. She was so excited that she could not stop smile smiling the entire day. “I have a grandson… I have a grandson…”
She was in a state of excitement for the entire day. When she finally regained her senses, she asked Li Fei, “Fei’er where’s Ke’er? When I left Cloud Continent, I heard from Tian’er that you’re with Ke’er.”
When Li Fei heard her words, she fell silent as tears brimmed in her beautiful eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Li Rou’s heart jolted. She felt that something was wrong.
“Auntie Rou…” Just as Li Fei opened her mouth, Li Rou instantly interrupted her with an annoyed expression, “You’ve already given birth to my grandson, and you’re still calling me Auntie Rou?”
“Mother.” After changing the way she addressed Li Rou, Li Fei could no longer hold back her tears. They began to stream down her face.
Soon after, Li Rou learned about everything that had happened from Li Fei. Naturally, everything she knew was what she had learned from Duan Ru Feng. This included how Duan Ling Tian’s whereabouts were still unknown and how Ke’er had been taken away by a woman who claimed to be her twin sister.
After hearing these, Li Rou’s body swayed for a moment as colors drained from her face. “D-Does your father know about these as well?”
“Yes.” Li Fei nodded.
Upon hearing that, Li Rou instantly returned the child in her embrace to Li Fei and went to look for Duan Ru Feng.
“Rou’er, you’ve found out about everything?” When Duan Ru Feng saw Li Rou looking for him with a pale face, he could already guess what had happened. At the same time, he sighed inwardly.
“I know what you want to say… I’ve already sent out my men to search for Tian’er. As for Ke’er, since she’s taken away by someone from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, I’m completely powerless. Everything will have to depend on her own luck.” When Duan Ru Feng reached the end of his sentence, his face had a helpless expression.
“Depend on her own luck?” Li Rou’s body trembled. With tearful eyes, she asked in a trembling voice, “You mean… I can only leave the lives of her and the child in her belly to G.o.d?” Li Rou was on the verge of breaking down.
