1591 The Day Of The Battle

"What's going on? How did Nian'er die here?" Han Xin, the Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Mansion, asked in his deep voice as he looked at Han Jin Nian's lackey who was kneeling at the side.

Although Han Jin Nian's lackey was so terrified by Han Xin's appearance, so much so that his body even began to tremble, and he was even a little afraid of telling the truth, he still revealed everything the moment he recalled Qing Nu's threat.

First, he revealed Han Jin Nian's sinister plot against Han Xue Nai's guest before he told them about how Han Jin Nian had found somebody's help to lure Qing Nu away. Finally, he told them about what had happened after that.

When the left and right guardians of Greenwave Han Mansion heard the lackey's words, their eyes gleamed with a peculiar light.

If this was really the case, then, Han Jin Nian was the one who dug his own grave.

Perhaps, Han Jin Nian did not expect that woman to be protected by a powerhouse. Otherwise, he would not have been so daring.

At this moment, Han Xin's face had turned different shades of green before it finally paled.

Naturally, he knew his grandson's character very well. However, due to the fact that he was his only grandson, he had always indulged him and never scolded him.

It was because of his grandson's lust for that woman that brought upon this calamity.

"Qing Nu, Li Fei is a guest of Xue Nai… Do you know her background?" Han Xin asked in a deep voice as he looked at Qing Nu.

"Supreme Elder, I do know a little about her background. However, as for the person who had brought her away, I know nothing about him. Not only do I know nothing about it, but even Young Miss knows nothing about it," Qing Nu replied.

"That person who brought her away addressed her as Young Madam… You should know who her man is, right?" Han Xin asked in a deep voice.

"Her man is called Duan Ling Tian. He's from the Cloud Continent. He has mentioned previously that his father is in the Dao Martial Saint Land. I learned all of this from Young Miss. As for the rest, even Young Miss doesn't know about it," Qing Nu added.

"Duan Ling Tian?" When Han Xin heard this, his gaze turned piercing. Nobody knew what was running through his mind.

Soon after, he regained his senses, and he carried his grandson's body away before leaving immediately.

"Guardians, I hope both of you will help me keep today's matter a secret. I don't wish for my grandson to be cursed at by people even after he died!" Han Xin said before he left.

When the left and right guardians of Greenwave Han Mansion heard this, they agreed to keep this a secret.

Bang!

Along with the sound of an explosion, a bloody hole appeared between Han Jin Nian's lackey's eyes. He collapsed on the floor as he lost his breath.

It was exactly as he had imagined. Han Xin did not intend to let him go at all.

In the end, this matter did not spread out in the Greenwave Han Mansion. If it had spread out, everyone would think Han Jin Nian's death was justified. After all, he was the one who had harbored malicious thoughts. If that was not the case, he would not have ended up this way.

Naturally, Han Xue Nai was unaware of the incident that had taken place in the Greenwave Han Mansion.

Currently, she was bringing Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White to Half Moon Island. However, they were completely stunned when they saw Half Moon Island no longer existed.

"Half Moon Island is gone?!" Han Xue Nai's expression had turned a little pale. "That dragon clan's Di Jue really can really do anything. Is he not afraid of karma?"

"The dragon clan has always been domineering in regards to the way they handle things. Moreover, Di Jue is also a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, an imperial member of the dragon clan." There was another person who had also followed Han Xue Nai and the other three. It was a middle-aged man standing on the back of a gigantic wild beast, Mu Yi. He was someone Han Xue Nai's father, the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion, had regarded as a brother.

There were three powerful people in the Greenwave Han Mansion. Apart from the Supreme Elder, the other two were the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion and the powerful Beast Tamer, Mu Yi. Apart from that, Mu Yi was also the father of Han Xue Nai's little sister, Mu Xue Yi.

After discovering Half Moon Island was gone, tears immediately welled up in the eyes of Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White. They had stayed for a long time in Half Moon Island, it was only natural they had a deep affection for Half Moon Island. Moreover, there were many people they cared about on Half Moon Island.

"Sister Ke'er…" Little White's eyes were completely red as they gleamed with tears.

When Little Gold and Little Black thought of Ke'er, they felt their hearts ached as well.

"Let's return to Cloud Continent and have a look… Perhaps, Brother Ling Tian has already returned," Han Xue Nai suggested.

The group of five immediately headed south to Cloud Continent.

Whether it was the incident that had taken place in Greenwave Han Mansion or Han Xue Nai returning to Cloud Continent with the three fellows, Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware of it all.

Currently, he was sitting quietly in his room waiting for the arrival of the second day.

The light of dawn on the second day finally shone on earth, signifying the arrival of a new day. Early in the morning, the Drift Blaze Sect's grand elder came knocking on the door and brought Duan Ling Tian and the other two, along with the people from the other forces for a stroll in the Drift Blaze Sect's estate.

During the journey, Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, in the limelight.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him. Some were filled with doubts, and some were filled with admiration. There were even some that were filled with disdain. In short, the general consensus was he would not be able to defeat Lady Feng from Greenwave Han Mansion.

Although the people from various forces looked down on Duan Ling Tian, they did not provoke him unlike those people from Skywreck Sect.

The day went by quickly without any trouble.

When evening arrived, and they still did not see the two men from Skywreck Sect, Situ Hang smiled and suddenly remarked, "Looks like Feng Hen and Old Man Yin from the Skywreck Sect have already left… How refreshing."

When Duan Ling Tian heard his words, he chuckled inwardly. Since he was the one who had injured Feng Hen, he knew very well just how serious Feng Hen's injury was.

At this moment, he was most likely recuperating in one of the guest rooms in the Drift Blaze Sect. However, it was very likely Feng Hen would not have a chance to watch the battle between him and Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect since he probably would not be able to get out of bed at all.

After returning to the residence that Drift Blaze Sect had prepared for them, Situ Hang and Situ Hou bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian before heading to their respective room, waiting for tomorrow to arrive. "Master Duan, tomorrow will be the battle between you and Lady Feng of Drift Blaze Sect. Please rest early and recuperate to prepare yourself. We won't bother you anymore."

Although they secretly thought that Duan Ling Tian was no match for Lady Feng, deep down in their hearts, they still hoped Duan Ling Tian would surprise them tomorrow.

If Duan Ling Tian managed to win the battle tomorrow, not only would his name spread in the entire Windfall Nation, but even their Situ Clan would be able to share his fame as well. After all, he was the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan.

At that time, if Duan Ling Tian's fame spread to the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion, even the Situ Clan's fame would spread there as well.

This was not an honor that was easily achieved by any sect in Windfall Nation.

Tonight, Duan Ling Tian did not sit in the room quietly like yesterday. Instead, he entered the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to cultivate his cultivation base.

A night outside was equivalent to two and a half days in the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Sect. It was more than enough time for Duan Ling Tian to cultivate.

Duan Ling Tian did not dare to act recklessly in front of Lady Feng of Drift Blaze Sect.

While he was cultivating on the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, in the forbidden area of the Drift Blaze Sect near the volcanic crater of an active volcano, there was a woman dressed in a fiery-red dress sitting cross-legged in the air. The girl was like a fire elf, blending in with the magma that spewed out from time to time.

The woman had an appearance that could topple a nation. While she was cultivating, even the magma that was spewing out from the volcanic crater was slightly tilted to her side. It was as though she had some magnetic charm.

A blazing flame rose up around the woman, enveloping her. However, it did not burn her at all.

Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes.

A fiery light seemed to have flashed in her eyes. In the next instant, she flew out, heading to the volcanic crater. She bathed in the magma, completely submerging herself within it.

If another person witnessed this, they would definitely cry out in surprise.

Her action was no different from committing suicide.

However, as the magma continued to spew out from the volcanic crater, one could see that not only was the woman not burned into ashes, but she was even sitting cross-legged in the air above the magma as she continued to cultivate.

As time went by, one could faintly see the fiery-red magma stretching out to the woman before it merged with her.

A beautiful woman suddenly appeared in the sky nearby as she stared at the fire elf-like woman bathing in the magma as she cultivated. She muttered to herself, "It seems like Tian Wu's physique is born for the Blaze Phoenix Progeny mental cultivation. Her current progress is twice as fast as the progress I made at her age!"

Although it was already midnight, it was still as bright as day due to the volcano that was spewing magma continuously.

If the other people from Drift Blaze Sect were here, they would be able to identify this beautiful woman as Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect.

"Today will be the day of the battle between the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan and Tian Wu… According to the grand elder, although the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan appears young, he doesn't look like a simple person," Zi Yun muttered to herself when she recalled the report from the grand elder gave earlier in the night, "I hope he'll be a qualified sickle grinder."

The night passed very quickly.

As dawn arrived again, the Drift Blaze Sect was bustling with activities. All the disciples from Drift Blaze Sect left their cultivation places. Naturally, this was because today is the day of the battle between the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Master Duan, and their Drift Blaze Sect's Lady Feng. They all wanted to enjoy and witness this battle.
