Chapter 1664: Nimble Valley
Although the Mountainshade Black Market had deliberately blocked this news on a wide scale, it still reached the Azure Cloud Mansion clearly.
"What is Dugu trying to do?" Duan Ru Feng's expression was grave as cold brilliance flashed across his eyes.
At this moment, he also found out that before the Devilseal Tablet in his son's hand was exposed, he was already being targeted by Leader Dugu from the Mountainshade Black Market.
"Dugu actually knows who my son is and even has his portrait on top of that! Where exactly did he get it?" Duan Ru Feng was puzzled over this.
However, as a lightbulb went off in his mind, he could easily guess that this most likely had something to do with the dragon clan. After all, the reason he went to the dragon clan the last time was because of his son.
"They even have my son's portrait! It looks like it must be Di Jue, that Five-clawed Golden Dragon from the dragon clan, who's pulling the strings!" Soon, Duan Ru Feng locked his target down.
After he had his target, his brows knitted together tightly. He never thought that Di Jue would be so unscrupulous. He had already made that five year-promise with his son Duan Ling Tian, yet he still dared to get up to some mischief.
However, even though he was sure that it was Di Jue who was up to no good, he did not have any evidence at all. Therefore, despite his fury, he did not approach the dragon clan to get even with Di Jue.
Di Jue had thousands of excuses, saying that he had nothing to do with this matter.
After knowing that the Mountainshade Black Market had launched such an unbridled movement, Duan Ru Feng was even more worried about his own son's safety and became even more restless.
However, as he recalled the Old Prophet's strict words last time, he still bit his tongue. Of course, Duan Ling Tian did not know about Duan Ru Feng's concerns.
He did not even know that his father was the Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion, the eminent quasi-third-rated force in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
At the same time, Feng Tian Wu, who had entered the Greenwave Han Mansion district not long ago, heard about the bustling news and could not help but start to be worried about Duan Ling Tian's safety. "I hope that blessed are the good men like Big Brother Duan... Where are you actually now, Big Brother Duan?"
However, after coming to the Greenwave Han Mansion district, Feng Tian Wu was not in a rush to leave.
A month after, she came to the Greenwave City and inquired about Han Xue Nai's identity.
Even though she had never met Han Xue Nai face-to-face before, she had heard of her name more than once from her Big Brother Duan. On top of that, she roughly knew what kind of person Han Xue Nai was.
In the eyes of her Big Brother Duan, Han Xue Nai was of unknown origin and possessed a mysterious identity.
Feng Tian Wu had heard of Duan Ling Tian speaking about Han Xue Nai. On the other hand, Han Xue Nai had also heard her Brother Ling Tian mention Feng Tian Wu too.
For this reason, although the two of them had never met each other properly yet, they had long known about each other's existence.
It was precisely because of this that when Feng Tian Wu announced her identity and asked somebody to inform Han Xue Nai, Han Xue Nai quickly sent somebody to invite her to the Greenwave Han Mansion, her mansion.
"You're Sister Tian Wu? I used to always hear Brother Ling Tian mention you!" In the face of Feng Tian Wu, Han Xue Nai was very passionate.
"Xue Nai, I've also often heard Big Brother Duan speak about you." Feng Tian Wu smiled in response, but quickly broached the main subject as she asked, "Xue Nai, your Brother Ling Tian has come to find you already, hasn't he?"
"Brother Ling Tian is here to find for Sister Fei'er," Han Xue Nai sighed, "However, someone took her away some time ago. As for Brother Ling Tian, he stayed in our Greenwave Han Mansion for a month and has now left. I believe that he'll come back to visit me before that. He'll definitely come..."
In the end, Han Xue Nai was almost muttering to herself.
"He's left?" After learning that Duan Ling Tian had come to the Greenwave Han Mansion, Feng Tian Wu's eyes lit up but upon learning that he had merely stayed there for a month before leaving, her heart sank again.
She would not be able to see her Big Brother Duan again.
Looking at Han Xue Nai, Feng Tian Wu's eyes gleamed brightly as she asked without beating around the bush, "Xue Nai, did Big Brother Duan mention where he was going?"
"No, he didn't." Han Xue Nai smiled wryly.
Upon hearing this, Feng Tian Wu was greatly disappointed.
However, the clues about Duan Ling Tian's trail was also completely cut off right there.
All of a sudden, Feng Tian Wu did not know where she should head. She felt like she had nowhere to go.
With Han Xue Nai's invitation, Feng Tian Wu temporarily stayed in her mansion in the Greenwave Han Mansion estate.
The news about how another outsider had come to Han Xue Nai's mansion after several months soon reached Han Xin, the Supreme Elder of the Greenwave Han Mansion again.
Nevertheless, since Feng Tian Wu was a woman, he did not mind.
Time flowed past like a stream of water, trickling quietly through the fingers.
In the Rising Sky Mansion district, the discussion trend about the Rising Sky Mansion had also come to reach its peak as time went by. Soon, it was the month before the Rising Sky Rankings Battle took place.
In the entire Rising Sky Mansion district, people everywhere were talking about the Rising Sky Mansion.
The hottest topic in the Rising Sky Mansion district was undoubtedly the Rising Sky Rankings.
A month time was neither long nor short.
In this one month, the venue where the Rising Sky Rankings Battle would be held was a vast canyon called the Nimble Valley which was a lively and bustling place.
The Rising Sky Rankings Battle was a grand occasion in the Rising Sky Mansion district. There was still one month to go before it officially started, but a group of people had already reached, waiting for the Rising Sky Rankings Battle to start.
In this period of time, there were many genius Martial and Dao Cultivators who fit the requirements that came from all over the Rising Sky Mansion district too.
In the vast Nimble Valley, Martial and Dao Cultivators could be seen everywhere, sitting cross-legged cultivating. Some even sat in the air cross-legged to cultivate while True Origin could be seen revolving around their bodies.
Saint Stage powerhouses did not seem to be valuable right there.
As there were only three more days to go before the Rising Sky Rankings Battle started, somebody shouted loudly and attracted many people's attention at once, "The people from the Rising Sky Mansion are here!"
When the crowd lifted their heads to take a look, they saw a group of people with an extraordinary bearing. Under the guidance of an ancient, old man, they entered the Nimble Valley and forcibly occupied the picturesque tip of the Nimble Valley, forcing the Martial and Dao Cultivators who were originally cultivating there to leave.
In the Rising Sky Mansion district, the Rising Sky Mansion was the absolute colossus; nobody dared to pick any trouble with them at all.
