‘It must be a coincidence. After all, the Dao Martial Saint Land is so big. There’s no need to be so surprised. Although the previous successor of Fog Rain mastered the 10,000 Swords Territory, nobody knows how it looks like. It’s just a coincidence that the names of the Territories are similar,’ Zi Yun reassured herself inwardly. When she thought of this, she calmed down again.
“However, even if he’s not the successor of Fog Rain, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, it’s amazing that he possesses such high innate talent. He can’t be much older than Tian Wu, but he already possesses a strength that can defeat her.” Zi Yun’s eyes gleamed as she thought about whether she could take Duan Ling Tian as a disciple through her connection with Feng Tian Wu.
If she had both Feng Tian Wu and Duan Ling Tian as her disciples, she would not have any more regrets in her life.
Feng Tian Wu was going to succeed the legacy of the Blazing Phoenix Progeny so her achievements in the future could not be restrained by the Drift Blaze Sect.
As for Duan Ling Tian, although his innate talent was also very high, not to mention he was more powerful than Tian Wu, she did not think Duan Ling Tian would be able to surpass Feng Tian Wu in the future. The mental cultivation technique of the Blazing Phoenix Progeny would be even more terrifying in the later stages. This was one of the reasons why she had so much confidence in Feng Tian Wu.
Due to this reason, she thought about taking Duan Ling Tian as a disciple and nurturing him to be the next Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect.
“What a pity... Now that Lady Feng’s Territory is destroyed, the result is set now.” Many people shook their heads and sighed.
The eyes focused on Duan Ling Tian turned complicated. Initially, they did not think Duan Ling Tian was going to be a match for Feng Tian Wu. However, the truth before their eyes had given them a good slap on their faces.
Although there were some people who felt Feng Tian Wu was being lenient, they did not say anything more after the Saint Stage powerhouses present on the scene said that Feng Tian Wu had given it her all. After all, this was their own speculation. How could their speculations be more accurate than the judgment of the Saint Stage powerhouses?
“Other than Territory, Lady Feng’s Giant Beast Phenomenon is very powerful as well... Hurmph! If this Duan Ling Tian didn’t use his Territory, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat Lady Feng!”
“That’s too much... The Territory is also Duan Ling Tian’s technique. Why can’t he use it? Besides, he didn’t forbid Lady Feng from using her Territory at all. As it happened, his Territory destroyed her Territory.”
“That’s right! Other than those Martial and Dao Cultivators below the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, who else would rely on their True Energy Consolidated Beast technique?”
“You might as well say he’s definitely not a match for Lady Feng if they’re both at the Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage.”
The group of people whispered to one another. Based on their words, they were certain Duan Ling Tian was stronger than Feng Tian Wu because his Territory was just too heaven-defying.
As for the other matter, they did not think Duan Ling Tian could compete with Feng Tian Wu.
Duan Ling Tian found it funny. Under the watchful eyes of the others, he withdrew his 10,000 Swords Territory.
With just a thought, the 10,000 sword rays in within a 100-meter radius disappeared in just a blink of an eye. It shocked everyone, including Feng Tian Wu.
“Duan Ling Tian actually withdrew his Territory?” Many people’s eyes were wide with disbelief.
“It seems like he heard us.”
“That seems to be the case!”
“What’s he trying to do? Is he going to fight Lady Feng without using his Territory?”
“If that’s the case, then he’s just digging his own grave.”
The crowd discussed among one another. Their eyes when they looked at Duan Ling Tian seemed as though they were looking at an idiot. They felt only an idiot would do something like that.
The chance to win was right in front of him, and yet, he had discarded the advantage he had. This was just him looking for trouble.
In the distant, the Great Young Master of Situ Clan, Situ Hang, and Situ Hou, the Supreme Elder of Situ Clan, was also shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s Territory.
Although they knew Duan Ling Tian was strong enough to enter the Heaven Ranking, they did not expect him to be so powerful to the point where he could destroy Feng Tian Wu’s Territory in just a blink of an eye.
Feng Tian Wu was not an ordinary Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse after all! Although her current ranking was only 23rd in the Heaven Ranking, everyone could see that she was powerful enough to enter the top ten in the Heaven Ranking.
However, she was still placed in a disadvantageous position by Duan Ling Tian. It seemed as though the outcome was already set.
Just when they thought Duan Ling Tian would seize the opportunity to defeat her in a blow, he had surprised all of them.
Earlier, they had also heard the murmurings from the crowd. They had felt it was all baseless gossip. A Territory was part of one’s strength. If one’s Territory was powerful, naturally, it also meant one was powerful.
It did not cross their minds that Duan Ling Tian would be concerned about the crowd’s opinion to the extent that he actually withdrew his 10,000 Swords Territory.
“Big Brother Duan, there’s no need to continue this battle,” Feng Tian Wu told Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian was stunned when he heard her words before he finally nodded.
The reason he had withdrawn his 10,000 Swords Territory was so he could see how powerful Tian Wu’s Firebird Phenomenon was compared to his Divine Dragon Phenomenon. Naturally, he was not bothered by the crowd’s opinion. He was not someone who needed to listen to other people’s opinion.
After Duan Ling Tian heard Feng Tian Wu’s words, he also began to calm down. He felt that even if he wanted to compare his True Energy Consolidated Beast with Tian Wu, he did not have to rush to do it now.
At this moment, a Drift Blaze Sect’s elder’s voice resonated in a timely manner as he announced the result of the battle. “For today’s battle, the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Master Duan, wins against our Drift Blaze Sect’s Lady Feng by a notch. From today onward, Master Duan will become the 23rd powerhouse in the Heaven Ranking while Lady Feng will be eliminated from the Heaven Ranking!”
Up until now, there were some people who still could not believe the outcome of the battle. However, the truth was laid bare before their eyes. There was no way for them to refute it.
The battle had ended just like that. After it ended, the people from various sects who came to watch the show were overwhelmed with a complicated feeling.
They had made a trip here because they wanted to see the ability of the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan. Finally, they learned of his strength.
It was not too bad if it was just about his strength. He was only at the Imminent Saint Stage after all. He would not pose much of a threat to the other sects. However, their complicated feelings arose due to the relationship between Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu.
In Windfall Nation, was there anyone who did not know about Lady Feng’s position in Drift Blaze Sect? To a certain extent, Lady Feng could completely represent her master, Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect.
In other words, Lady Feng alone was qualified to represent the entire Drift Blaze Sect. This meant that the relationship between Drift Blaze Sect and the Situ Clan would grow closer.
In their opinion, this was not good.
Since the battle had come to an end, people from the various sects began to leave after bidding farewell to the Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect.
Even the Saint Stage powerhouse from Skywreck Sect, Old Man Yin, also left, bringing Feng Hen, the Young Sect Leader of Skywreck Sect, with him. During their journey back, his face was so grim since he was feeling anxious.
“I can’t believe he actually won... However, he must die no matter what!” During the journey, Feng Hen kept repeating these words. Based on his words, it was obvious he hated Duan Ling Tian to the core. “If he doesn’t die, I’ll have trouble sleeping and eating!”
Finally, Old Man Yin could not help chiming in, “Young Sect Leader, if it’s possible, please forget about the unpleasant encounter you had with the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan.”
“Why?!” When Feng Hen heard his words, his face turned grave immediately. “He has injured me to this point, and you’re telling me to forget about it? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
“Young Sect Leader, I know you’re eager to crush him. If you insist on going against him, please take into consideration that apart from the Situ Clan supporting him, even Feng Tian Wu won’t stand idly at the side and watch.” Old Man Yin smiled wryly.
“Feng Tian Wu?” Feng Hen frowned, he had never heard of this name before.
“Feng Tian Wu is Lady Feng from the Drift Blaze Sect.” The old man sighed.
“Lady Feng? I want to go against that guy from Situ Clan. What does it have to do with her? Moreover, that guy defeated her and took her place in the Heaven Ranking. I’m sure she hates him. How is it possible that she’ll do anything for him?!” Although Feng Hen knew Duan Ling Tian had won the battle today, he did not know about the details.
The old man beside him did not have the time to properly fill him in on what had happened.
“There are some things you don’t know, Young Sect Leader...” The old man sighed heavily before he told Feng Hen everything that had happened, including how Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu knew each other and might actually be lovers.
“That Duan Ling Tian actually has such a relationship with Lady Feng from the Drift Blaze Sect?” After learning about this, Feng Hen’s face turned extremely grim. Blue veins stood out on his temples, and his face turned even more ferocious. “How can he have such a relationship with Lady Feng from the Drift Blaze Sect? No! Impossible! Impossible!” Feng Hen roared loudly in annoyance.
Although he was conceited, he was not stupid.
Other than the younger generation of the Imperial family’s disciples, if there was somebody else he did not dare to offend, it would be Lady Feng of Drift Blaze Sect.
In Windfall Nation, was there anyone who did not know Lady Feng was the heartstring of Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect?
Due to Zi Yun’s strength, even the younger generation from the Windfall Nation’s Imperial Family did not dare to act rashly in front of Lady Feng.
