A figure came in as soon as Duan Ling Tian responded. The person who had entered was a guard on duty at the Situ Clan’s great entrance today.


“What message?” Duan Ling Tian asked.


“He said that a man called Ye Feng asked you to visit King Qian’s estate if you have time so that both of you can catch up on old times,” the Situ Clan’s guard said.


“Ye Feng?” Situ Hang frowned immediately when he heard the guard’s words. “Don’t tell me it’s the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect? I remember his name is Ye Feng!”


Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grave immediately.


Ye Feng!


He finally revealed himself! Moreover, he was in King Qian’s estate.


‘Ye Feng was the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect, and he’s similar to Situ Ming. However, Situ Clan has always supported the Second Prince, King Rong. The Fourth Prince, King Qian, is King Rong’s most powerful rival in the battle for the crown.’ Duan Ling Tian’s heart sank.


‘The fact that Ye Feng is staying in King Qian’s estate means he must have offered him something in return. It’s very likely he told him about the Devilseal Tablet being in my possession!’ The moment Duan Ling Tian thought of this, his eyes gleamed with murderous intent.


If it was possible, he wanted to kill Ye Feng and everyone who knew he possessed the Devilseal Tablet. This was because this knowledge could bring disaster upon him.


“King Qian’s estate, King Qian… That King Qian must have known I have the Devilseal Tablet.” Duan Ling Tian frowned.


He did not fear King Qian. However, as a prince of Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family, he must have many Saint Stage powerhouses guarding him. Moreover, most of the Saint Stage powerhouses were not Devil Cultivators. It would not be easy for him to kill King Qian.


“However, even if King Qian knows I have the Devilseal Tablet, I’m sure he won’t let this news leak. If that happens, everyone would covet it. I’m sure he wants it for his own use!” Duan Ling Tian was certain of this.


When Ye Feng escaped from him at the Dark Nether Sect’s estate, he had thought about leaving Windfall Nation to lay low and let the dust settle since he would be in danger when news of him possessing the Devilseal Tablet spread out. However, he needed to deal with the matter regarding Bai Li Hong and the others.


He was no longer in a hurry to leave now that he knew Ye Feng was in King Qian’s estate. “If it’s only King Qian… There’s no need for me to leave Windfall Nation. When I break through to the Saint Stage, I won’t have to be afraid of those Saint Stage powerhouses by his side anymore!”


Duan Ling Tian was certain of this.


Put aside his powerful foundation, after he had broken through to the Saint Stage, he would be able to transform the True Energy in his body into the Sun True Origin. According to Elder Huo, the benefits he received from Elder Huo’s enlightenment would only be revealed once he had broken through to the Saint Stage.


Elder Huo also said it would not be difficult for him to defeat enemies with a greater cultivation base than his if he relied on the Sun True Origin.


Coupled with his powerful body, his 10,000 Swords Territory, and the Supreme Sword Dao Mental Cultivation Method, Sovereign Heart Sword, that Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang left behind, he believed there would not be many Saint Stage powerhouses in Windfall Nation who would be able to defeat him once he had broken through to the Saint Stage.


At that time, there would be no need for him to worry about King Qian.


‘When that time arrives, I’ll eradicate the root of the problem!’ When Duan Ling Tian thought about this, he bade farewell to Situ Hang and hurried back to his room.


As soon as he returned to his room, he entered the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da and began to cultivate earnestly to break through to the Saint Stage as soon as he possibly could.


Naturally, before he could break through to the Saint Stage, his cultivation base had to reach the peak of the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage and Imminent Saint Stage first.


Based on his current progress, Duan Ling Tian was certain he would be able to enter the peak of the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage in two weeks time.


Naturally, two weeks referred to two weeks in the outside world.


After Duan Ling Tian returned to his room, Situ Hang thought to himself, ‘Ye Feng’s actually at King Qian’s estate. This means Situ Ming’s betrayal has something to do with Ye Feng as well.’


Whether it was Ye Feng or Duan Ling Tian, both of them were still unaware that a huge disaster is brewing and heading in Duan Ling Tian’s direction.


That Devilseal Tablet alone was enough to cause people to search for it in a frenzy, leaving no stones unturned.


Meanwhile, at the Mountainshade Black Market’s headquarter far away from Windfall Nation, the highest order had been pa.s.sed down from the Main Leader of Mountainshade Black Market.


Portraits of a young man had been pa.s.sed down to the people in Mountainshade Black Market.


“The leader ordered that we spare no effort in searching for the young man in the portrait. This young man is called Duan Ling Tian!” This was the order given by the messengers of the Mountainshade Black Market’s headquarter to its low-ranking branches.


The order spread to the lower-ranking branches of Mountainshade Black Market located in some of the ordinary fourth-rate forces’ districts before it slowly spread to the branches in fifth-rate forces’ districts.


The Mountainshade Black Market’s branch in Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion was a lower-rank branch. This branch had also received the order from the branch above it.


Along with the order, there was a clearly drawn portrait of a handsome young man with das.h.i.+ng eyebrows and bright eyes. His name was Duan Ling Tian.


“Pa.s.s down this order to the other branches.” In the Mountainshade Black Market’s branch in the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion, there were additional lower ranking branches beneath it.


These branches included the Mountainshade Black Market’s branch in Windfall Nation.


After a few months, the Mountainshade Black Market’s branch in Windfall Nation finally received the order from the Mountainshade Black Market’s branch in Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion. Similar to the other branches, the order came with a portrait of a young man.


The leader of Mountainshade Black Market’s branch in Windfall Nation was an old man with white hair. He was dressed in a grey robe as he stood under a pergola that was built on the steep peak of a mountain. He held the portrait in his hand as he muttered to himself, “Duan Ling Tian? This name seems familiar.”


“Lord Leader, I’ve heard this name before.” When the grey-clad old man was muttering to himself, a voice sounded from behind him. It was a middle-aged man standing outside the pergola.


“Oh?” The grey-clad old man’s eyes lit up as he turned around instantly to look at his most capable subordinate.


“Lord Leader, you’ve heard of this name as well. It’s just that you didn’t pay much attention to it,” the middle-aged man continued to speak, “A few months ago, the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, a young man, had defeated Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect. His name has spread far and wide in Windfall Nation. His name is Duan Ling Tian. Currently, he’s widely acknowledged as the strongest person among the younger generation in Windfall Nation!”


“Now that you mentioned it, I vaguely remember hearing about this.” The old man nodded as he looked at the portrait in his hand. “I wonder if it’s the same person or they just happen to share the same name… If it’s the same person…” The old man’s breathing quickened when he reached this part of the sentence.
