Chapter 1587: Senior Prophet!
"Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage!" Horror dawned on Situ Hang's face when he noticed the aura that filled the area within a 100-meter radius.
Although he was only a Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator, he could clearly feel it was the aura of a Territory.
True Energy Consolidated Territory was the technique of a Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse!
He did not expect his mortal enemy to make it to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage earlier than he did.
The moment he recalled the earlier scene, he broke out in cold sweat. Feng Hen must have intentionally mocked him to make him attack so that he would be able to retaliate using his strength at the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage.
He and Feng Hen were evenly matched when Feng Hen was still at the Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage. Now that he had broken through to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, Situ Hang, naturally, knew he was no longer a match for him.
When thought of this, he could not help but sigh in relief. It was fortunate that Master Duan had given him a reminder earlier. Otherwise, he would've been humiliated.
"Situ Hang, you're seeking death!" Feng Hen shouted. He could no longer resist the urge to attack Situ Hang. The humiliation caused by Situ Hang made him temporarily forget his original intention, causing him to make the first move.
Situ Hou immediately frowned when he saw Feng Hen display his cultivation base at the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage to attack Situ Hang.
However, as Situ Hou was about to make his move to help Situ Hang, the old man with white brows behind Feng Hen focused his aura him. It caused him to not dare to make a move recklessly.
"Situ Hou, let the younger generation solves the matter among themselves," the white-browed old man said nonchalantly.
"Hurmph!" Although Situ Hou did not fear the old man with white eyebrows, it would be difficult for him to help Situ Hang now that the old man's attention was focused on him.
However, he was not worried since he believed Duan Ling Tian would not just idly stand aside and watch.
Just as Situ Hou had expected, Duan Ling Tian finally made his move when Feng Hen's Territory swept out and was about to suppress Situ Hang.
Nobody saw Duan Ling Tian make any movement, but the air within a 100-meter radius trembled again. An even sharper aura swept out along with more than 10,000 solidified sword rays.
The 10,000 sword rays hovered in the air, emitting an extremely piercing aura. Each sword ray seemed capable of slicing through anything.
The 10,000 Swords Territory!
The 10,000 solidified sword rays undoubtedly came from the Territory Duan Ling Tian had quickly unleashed. The moment they appeared, they immediately nullified Feng Hen's Territory that had not been fully unleashed. His 10,000 Swords Territory shattered Feng Hen's territory immediately.
It had so easily destroyed Feng Hen's Territory because he had only just broken through to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, and his mastery of the Territory was not that high yet.
"Stop!" The white-browed old man did not expect Duan Ling Tian to make a move. After all, he had said to let the younger generation deal with the matter among themselves.
Although Duan Ling Tian had a young appearance, he was the respected Interim Advisor of Situ Clan so his actual age had to be much older. It should not be much different from him at all.
Originally, he thought the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan would not make a move on the younger generation due to his position. However, he did not expect the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan would make a move on Feng Hen, casting his Territory mercilessly and shattering Feng Hen's Territory.
Although the old man with white eyebrows was shocked by Duan Ling Tian's Territory since he had never seen such a terrifying Territory where 10,000 swords had appeared in unison, he was greatly angered by Duan Ling Tian's action.
However, as soon as the old man with white eyebrows wanted to intervene, Situ Hou stopped him. "Old man Yin, didn't you say earlier to let the younger generation solve the matter among themselves? Are you going back on your words?" When he reached the end of his sentence, he smirked coldly. However, he was secretly delighted. He felt the opposition had just dug his own grave.
"Situ Hou! How dare you mention the words 'younger generation'? He's the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, and his cultivation base is already at the Imminent Saint Stage. I'm sure his age is roughly the same as the Clan Leader of Situ Clan?" The white-browed old man smirked.
"You're greatly mistaken. Although he is the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan and an Imminent Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, he's actually a little younger than Little Hang," Situ Hou replied nonchalantly.
Younger generation?
In fact, it was very likely that the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan was the youngest one among those present.
"He's a little younger than Situ Hang?" Naturally, the old man with white brows knew who Little Hang was. He did not believe it at all when he heard the Interim Advisor was younger than Situ Hang.
In order to verify it, he instantly cast his Spiritual Secret Tactic. His Divine Consciousness stretched out and probed Duan Ling Tian's age.
Soon after, the result he obtained from his Divine Consciousness was the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan was only 36 years old.
36 years old!
The old man with white eyebrow was completely taken aback when he discovered Duan Ling Tian's age. He was only 36 years old, and yet, his cultivation base was already at the Imminent Saint Stage?
This kind of innate talent was more or less on par with Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect if it did not surpass it.
However, the moment he recalled Duan Ling Tian was someone Situ Hao, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, respected, he found it a little ridiculous how a dignified Clan Leader of a seventh-rate force showed so much respect for a young man that was only 36 years old. If this new spread out, how many people would even believe it?
"Huh?"
Originally, Duan Ling Tian had no intention of inflicting harm on Feng Hen after shattering his Territory. After all, the seventh-rate force behind him was on par with the Situ Clan. Although Duan Ling Tian was powerful, he was not so conceited to think he would be able to fight a seventh-rate force. Due to this reason, he had been lenient when he made his move.
However, the moment he discovered the Divine Consciousness from the old man with white eyebrows swept out and rudely probed him, it ignited a flame of rage in his heart. Therefore, he mercilessly inflicted heavy injuries on Feng Hen with just a turn of his palm.
After Feng Hen who was heavily injured let out a shrill cry, he was sent flying away like an arrow that left the bow. His voice completely disappeared as he was sent flying into the distance.
"Young Sect Leader!" Horror dawned on the white-browed old man when he saw Feng Hen being tossed away by Duan Ling Tian with a blast. Even Feng Hen's breathing had turned extremely weak as though he would pass away at any moment. He hurriedly chased after Feng Hen and caught him.
When he discovered he could not find many intact bones in Feng Hen's body, the face of the old man with white brows turned cold immediately.
His eyes shone with killing intent as he glared at Duan Ling Tian. "How dare you be so ruthless to our Young Sect Leader! Even if you're the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, our Skywreck Sect won't let this go!"
Situ Hang became enraged when he heard the old man with white brow threatened Duan Ling Tian. He immediately flew out and stood in front of Duan Ling Tian, shielding him. He said coldly, "Skywreck Sect? How domineering! I really want to see what kind of tactic the Skywreck Sect is going to use to go against Master Duan. You must get through me first!"
"Hurmph!" The old man with white brows did not expect Situ Hang would be so determined to protect Duan Ling Tian. His face immediately turned grave. After he snorted, he left in a hurry to heal the injuries of his Young Sect Leader.
Although Duan Ling Tian did not take the white-browed old man's threat seriously, Situ Hang's determination to protect him still warmed his heart.
"Master Duan, you don't have to take Yin Bai's words seriously. If the Skywreck Sect intends to seek revenge from you, he'll have to go through me and my father first!" Situ Hang turned around. The anger on his face had disappeared and was replaced with a smile.
"Alright." Duan Ling Tian nodded.
"I can't believe Feng Hen from the Skywreck Sect has broken through to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage ahead of you, Little Hang." Situ Hou sighed emotionally at this moment.
"I find this a little weird. Feng Hen has always been on par with me in regards to our progress and cultivation base. Currently, I'm still a distance away from entering the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, and yet, he has already made a breakthrough," Situ Hang replied with a frown.
"Perhaps he had a fortuitous encounter," Situ Hou said.
"Well then, he really has lucked out with his dog luck this time!" Situ Hang snorted.
The appearance of the two men from Skywreck Sect was merely a small incident to Duan Ling Tian and the two others.
However, as for the two Skywreck Sect's men, particularly Feng Hen, the Young Leader of Skywreck Sect, the incident today was a great humiliation to them.
"If that Interim Advisor Situ Clan doesn't die, I swear, I, Feng Hen, will cease to become human!" Although Feng Hen was so injured that he could barely move, he grumbled as he lay on the bed, gnashing his teeth. This was his first time experiencing such great humiliation.
...
The day had turned dark as Duan Ru Feng and Kumi entered the Greenwave Han Mansion's district.
Time continued to pass as they finally arrived near the Greenwave Han Mansion. Duan Ru Feng suddenly came to a halt, he had a pleasantly surprised look on his face.
Ku Mi was baffled when he saw his Lord Mansion Master acting this way. He did not know what had caused him to lose his composure. Although he was puzzled, he did not dare to disturb Duan Ru Feng at all.
Soon after, Duan Ru Feng looked at Ku Mi and said, "Elder Ku, please help me fetch my daughter-in-law out of the Greenwave Han Mansion. Apart from that, if it's possible, avoid contact with the people of Greenwave Han Mansion. Just bring my daughter-in-law out!!"
Although Ku Mi did not know why Duan Ru Feng had given such an instruction, he regarded his words as though they were an imperial edict.
"Yes, Lord Mansion Master," Ku Mi replied before he headed to the Greenwave Han Mansion on his own.
After Ku Mi left, a person suddenly appeared next to Duan Ru Feng. It was an old man wearing a patched robe with white hair and beard. His disheveled appearance made him look like an old beggar.
However, in the face of this old beggar, Duan Ru Feng was filled with respect. He did not dare to slack at all. "I, Duan Ru Feng, pay all my respect to you, Senior Prophet!"
