Chapter 1880: Pursued To The Upper Province

"Initially, she went to the Greenwave Han Mansion to look for Xue Nai. However, my father sent someone to bring her to the Azure Cloud Mansion," Duan Ling Tian answered Nangong Yi's question.

However, when he reached the end of his sentence, his expression instantly turned grim as his eyes glinted murderously. He had unknowingly clenched both his hands. The person whom his father had sent to fetch Li Fei was Elder Ku! The way he was killed was still vivid in his mind!

Although Elder Ku's death was not directly related to him, to a certain extent it was still because of him!

After all, it was because of the Devilseal Tablet in his possession that Xie Zong, the powerhouse from the Upper Province's Black Kshetra Sect, had come. If it was not because of the Devilseal Tablet, Xie Zong would not have come to the Azure Cloud Mansion, and Elder Ku would not have died! Not only that, but the ten Azure Cloud Mansion's disciples would not have died as well!

Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian felt guilty and blamed himself for the deaths of Elder Ku and the ten disciples. Whether it was to wash away the humiliation he had suffered or to seek revenge for Elder Ku and the ten disciples, he swore that he would not let Xie Zong go.

Even if Xie Zong was an elder from the Black Kshetra Sect and had the sect's support, he, Duan Ling Tian, would kill him no matter what!

When it came to pride and dignity, Duan Ling Tian was in no way inferior to Zhu Lu Qi, the former Palace Master of Heaven Palace in the Mystical Sky Mansion.

Although he would not forsake his humanity and cultivate a Devil Dao Cultivation Method like the Devouring Dark Devil Technique in order to seek revenge, it did not mean that he would let his enemy go.

He, Duan Ling Tian, had his own method of seeking revenge!

Compared to Zhu Lu Qi, the biggest advantage he had was that he was young. As long as he was given time, he believed he would be able to chase up to or even surpass Xie Zong from the Black Kshetra Sect. At that time, it would be the day Xie Zong would die!

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Nangong Yi asked anxiously when he saw that something was not right with Duan Ling Tian's expression.

"No, it has nothing to do with you." Duan Ling Tian regained his senses upon hearing Nangong Yi's words and shook his head.

Then, he looked at Bai Li Hong and introduced Li Fei to him. "Senior Brother, this is my fiancee, Li Fei. I've told you about her previously."

"Nice to meet you, sister-in-law." Bai Li Hong greeted Li Fei with a smile as he thought to himself, 'You really have a good eye, Junior Brother.'

"Senior Brother," Li Fei quickly responded. She knew the position Senior Brother Bai Li had in her man's heart so she did not dare to be discourteous.

Then, Bai Li Hong shifted his gaze to the little boy who was holding on to Li Fei's hands. "This child belongs to both of you? What's his name?"

"Nian Tian. Duan Nian Tian." Li Fei smiled in response.

"Duan Ling Tian, I really admire you more and more," Nangong Yi looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, "Not only is your innate talent heaven-defying, but your background is powerful as well. Apart from that, you have a fiancee as beautiful as a fairy and a child as well. You're really a winner in life! We're all human, but why do I feel as though God favors you more?" His tone was a little bitter when he spoke. Naturally, he was mostly joking.

Nangong Yi's words also made everybody present chuckled, causing the atmosphere to turn warm immediately.

"Senior Brother, Uncle Feng, I'm sure all of you must have heard the news about me by now. The reason I came this time is to bring all of you back to the Azure Cloud Mansion. Compared to the Situ Clan, the Azure Cloud Mansion is far better in every aspect," Duan Ling Tian said bluntly. He told them the purpose of his visit without beating around the bush.

"To the Azure Cloud Mansion?" Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, whether it was the Nangong Twins or Chen Shao Shuai, their eyes lit up immediately.

Just as the saying went, 'Man endeavors to rise while water flows downward.' Naturally, they did not wish to stay in the same place forever, especially if there was a better place to improve themselves. It was undoubtedly better for them to go to the Azure Cloud Mansion.

When Duan Ling Tian saw the Nangong Twins and Chen Shao Shuai's reactions, he knew they were willing to go to the Azure Cloud Mansion. Therefore, he turned to Bai Li Hong and Feng Wu Dao and asked, "Senior Brother, Uncle Feng, what about both of you?"

"I'm fine with it," Bai Li Hong answered with a smile. He was fine with staying anywhere. However, there was no doubt it would be the best to stay in the Azure Cloud Mansion.

"I don't have any objections, but what if Tian Wu comes back..." Feng Wu Dao was a little hesitant.

"Uncle Feng, now that news of me had spread in the entire Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, if you're Tian Wu, what would you do after receiving the news?" Duan Ling Tian asked.

"Naturally, I'll look for you in the Azure Cloud Mansion. You're right! I'll follow you to the Azure Cloud Mansion as well!" Feng Wu Dao was a little blunt in this matter that concerned himself. When he heard Duan Ling Tian's words, he was immediately enlightened.

As for Xiong Quan and Gold Thug, Duan Ling Tian did not ask them anything at all. This was because he knew what their answers would be. They would definitely follow him.

"Since everyone agrees to leave, I'll follow all of you to bid farewell to the Clan Leader of Situ Clan."

After everyone agreed to leave with him, he immediately went with the others to look for the Clan Leader of Situ Clan.

They spoke for a while before they finally bade farewell to the Clan Leader. Duan Ling Tian felt very grateful to the Situ Clan.

However, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan seemed to have changed into a different person. Although previously he was very polite to Duan Ling Tian, it was even more exaggerated now. Duan Ling Tian, naturally, knew the reason why. Previously, he was only slightly more powerful in regards to innate talent and strength. Currently, he was not only a Divine Saint Stage powerhouse, but he was also the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion.

The Azure Cloud Mansion was a quasi third-rate force!

As the leader of a seventh-rate force, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan had to pay the same respect as he would God. He even treated Duan Ling Tian as though he was God.

"Junior Brother, you're leaving the Lower Province?" After leaving Windfall Nation, during their journey back to the Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ling Tian told them about his plan of going to the Upper Province. Bai Li Hong frowned immediately.

"Yes." Duan Ling Tian nodded before looking toward the distant with a determined expression. "Somebody's waiting for me there..."

At the same time, a beautiful figure appeared in his mind. It was his other fiancee, Ke'er!

Bai Li Hong and the others could roughly guess who he was talking about.

When Bai Li Hong heard Duan Ling Tian's words, he no longer commented on his plans on going to the Upper Province.

While Duan Ling Tian was bringing Bai Li Hong and the others back to the Azure Cloud Mansion, Xie Zong, the Black Kshetra Sect's elder who had just passed the passage that connected the Lower Province to the Upper Province, had successfully arrived at the Upper Province. However, he discovered the Old Prophet had disappeared under his nose.

"Damn it!" Naturally, Xie Zong knew this meant he could no longer chase after the Old Prophet.

'I can't believe the Old Prophet's speed is not any slower than mine. To think he's only the successor of the Prophet Progeny, the Second Absolute in the Seven Absolutes Sect. He's supposed to be the least adept in combat! If he's the successor of the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, who would be able to stop him then?' Xie Zong's expression turned grave immediately the moment he thought of this.

Although the three great sects were not willing to mention that period of time, there was no doubt it was real.

At that time, the three great sects had to join forces just so they could drag out their ignoble existence. The reason the Seven Absolutes Sect was so powerful during that era was all due to the heaven-defying successor of the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny.

That heaven-defying successor was also someone who had grasped an entire era in his hands!

He was known as Sword Saint Feng Qing Yang!

During that era, even when the strongest powerhouse from each of the three great sects joined forces, they were no match for him!

'It's fortunate that the requirement for the successor of the Seven Absolutes Sect's First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, is extremely high! Ever since that time until now, nobody has heard of the appearance of the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny.' Xie Zong sighed in relief when he thought of this.

Naturally, it did not cross his mind, even in his wildest dreams, that the person he snatched the Devilseal Tablet from not too long ago was the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny of this era.

"Apart from the First Absolute, the Fog Rain Progeny, there are three other Absolutes in the Seven Absolutes Sect that excel in combat. Kratos, Blazing Phoenix, and Didymus! Not only that, but there's one Absolute that excels in stealth. He's the king in the dark!" Xie Zong muttered.

Based on his words, it was clear he had certain knowledge of the Seven Absolutes Sect:

The Seven Absolutes Sect was separated into seven Absolutes.

First Absolute — Fog Rain.

Second Absolute — Prophet

Third Absolute — Kratos.

Fourth Absolute — Dark Shadow.

Fifth Absolute — Blazing Phoenix.

Sixth Absolute — Didymus.

Seventh Absolute — Red Dust.

The First Absolute, Fog Rain, had always been the soul leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect. The Second Absolute, the Prophet, was like a sage or a military counselor who excelled in fortune-telling. The Seventh Absolute, Red Dust, specialized in collecting intelligence. It was the anchor and the core progeny of the Seven Absolutes Sect.

The Third Absolute, Kratos, the Fifth Absolute, Blazing Phoenix, and the Sixth Absolute, Didymus, were the three Absolutes that were most adept in combat in the Seven Absolutes Sect apart from the First Absolute, Fog Rain.

As for the Fourth Absolute, Dark Shadow, just like its name, it lurked in the darkness like the shadow of a Grim Reaper. He was the king of stealth and assassination!

Until now, this sect would still cause a frenzy in the three great sects of the Upper Province if there was even a slight trace of them.

"Since I've returned to the Upper Province, I might as well return to the Black Kshetra Sect and claim ownership of the Devilseal Tablet. Once the Devilseal Tablet recognizes me as its master, there would be less than 100 Devil Cultivators who are able to stand against me in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!" Xie Zong muttered to himself as he returned to the Black Kshetra Sect.

As for the Azure Cloud Mansion and Duan Ling Tian, he had long forgotten about them. He had chased the Old Prophet for such a long time that the anger he felt in the Azure Cloud Mansion had long disappeared.
