Chapter 1605: Bai Li Hong’s Whereabouts

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of what was happening outside. At this moment, he was cultivating on the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. The time in the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda flowed extremely slowly. Five days in there was equivalent to a day outside. Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian had a lot of time to cultivate. At the very least, it was more efficient than everyone in the Dao Martial Saint Land.

After strengthening his cultivation base at the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, Duan Ling Tian began to charge to the peak of the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage. This was because after he had entered the peak of the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, he could make a breakthrough to the Imminent Saint Stage and finally, to the Saint Stage!

With his current strength, he was practically invincible when it came to all powerhouses below the Saint Stage. However, his cultivation base was only approaching the peak of the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, it could not be considered as fully entering the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage yet.

“Based on my current strength, if I break through to the Imminent Saint Stage, the True Energy in my Qi sea will increase greatly as well. At that time, if I unleash all my power, I should be comparable to the weakest Saint Stage powerhouse, right?” Apart from cultivating, Duan Ling Tian also daydreamed about his future.

Although he had such thoughts, he was still not fully certain he had seen the complete strength of a Saint Stage powerhouse before. An Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse could not compare to a Saint Stage powerhouse at all. It was a completely new transformation!

Suddenly, a series of knocks reverberated in the air. Elder Huo heard the noise and instantly alerted Duan Ling Tian.

“Is there news about Senior Brother and the others’ whereabouts?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up immediately. Previously, he had told Situ Hang, the Great Young Master of Situ Clan, to not disturb him unless they had news about his senior brother. Now that they had come knocking on his door, it was apparent they had news about his senior brother.

After leaving the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and opening the door, the first thing Duan Ling Tian saw was Situ Hang standing outside his room. “Young Master Hang, is there news regarding my senior brother?”

“Yes.” Situ Hang nodded.

“Where’s my Senior Brother?” Duan Ling Tian asked urgently.

“Master Duan, the truth is, we didn’t find your senior brother. He was the one who found us. However, it seems like he has met with some kind of trouble. He merely asked someone to send a voice transmission jade token to the Situ Clan. Moreover, he had specifically asked that it has to be passed to you,” Situ Hang said.

The voice transmission jade token was a jade token inscribed with the Voice Transmission Saint Inscription in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Similar to the voice transmission jade slip on Cloud Continent, it was used to store messages.

Naturally, compared to the voice transmission jade slips, the voice transmission jade tokens could store longer messages and was not easily damaged.

For example, if the voice transmission jade slip Duan Ru Feng had left behind for Duan Ling Tian was a voice transmission jade token, it definitely would not have been so easily damaged.

It was exactly because the voice transmission jade slip was damaged that Duan Ling Tian did not meet Ku Mi. Otherwise, he would be enjoying his life as a Young Mansion Master in the Azure Cloud Mansion.

“Huh?” When Duan Ling Tian heard Situ Hang’s words, he frowned immediately. “This means you’re not certain it’s my senior brother?”

“The person who sent the voice transmission jade token claimed it was Bai Li Hong who had asked him to send this jade token… I think it should be him, right?” Situ Hang replied.

“In that case, there should be no mistake.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

After taking the voice transmission jade token from Situ Hang, Duan Ling Tian infused his True Energy into it. The method to activate the voice transmission jade token was similar to activating a voice transmission jade slip.

Soon after, a familiar voice resonated in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. “Junior Brother, when I heard there’s a young Interim Advisor called Duan Ling Tian in the Situ Clan, I knew instantly that it’s you. Only you would be able to defeat Lady Feng of Drift Blaze Sect, the strongest powerhouse among the younger generation in Windfall Nation. Your name has spread to every corner of the nation. I’m sure you must have done it intentionally so we’ll be aware of your presence here. It seems like you’ve guessed I would come to Windfall Nation as well.”

When Duan Ling Tian heard this, he was overwhelmed with excitement. He could tell this was his Senior Brother’s voice. It was definitely not fake.

“Actually, after you’ve escaped from the Moon Illumination Sect, we were also in the same predicament as you. However, it was lucky those few Saint Stage powerhouses were focused on you. Otherwise, it would be unlikely for us to escape. After leaving the Moon Illumination Sect, I brought them here to Windfall Nation. Initially, we planned to head to the capital of Windfall Nation since it’s the busiest and safest place in all of Windfall Nation. However, who would’ve thought that not long after we arrived in Windfall Nation, we would encounter a misfortune. We are all currently trapped in the Dark Nether Sect. Fortunately, I’m skilled in inscribing Saint Inscriptions. Due to this reason, the Dark Nether Sect’s people did not kill us. However, the others are enslaved by the Dark Nether Sect and are sent to mine for Saint Stones. I don’t have the confidence of bringing them away from that place without causing them any harm. If you have any authority in the Situ Clan, you can ask the Situ Clan for help. At that time, I’m sure the Dark Nether Sect would not dare to not let us go.” Bai Li Hong’s message continued to reverberate in the air.

“However, it’s okay if Situ Clan is unwilling to help. I’ll think of another way and see if I can bring them away from the Dark Nether Sect without causing them any harm. We’ll find you in the capital once we leave the Dark Nether Sect. For now, we’re not in any danger.” Apart from this, Bai Li Hong also explained he managed to come to the capital this time by relying on an excuse, and the Vice Sect Leader and two elders of Dark Nether Sect had followed him here.

The Vice Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect was called Tan Chi, and he was an Imminent Saint Stage powerhouse. As for the two other Dark Nether Sect’s elders, both of them were outstanding powerhouses at the peak of the Imminent Saint Stage.

Finally, the message in the voice transmission jade token came to an end.

“Dark Nether Sect!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes gleamed coldly as killing intent rose in his heart.

How dare that Dark Nether Sect or something enslaved his senior brother and the others.

This was undoubtedly a blatant insult to him!

“Master Duan, what did your Senior Brother say in the voice transmission jade token? Is there anything I can help with?” Situ Hang quickly asked in a timely manner, like a timely rain during a drought, when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s face had turned grave.

“Young Master Hang, do you know the Dark Nether Sect?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at Situ Hang.

In the voice transmission jade token, his senior brother, Bai Li Hong, did not tell him what kind of sect the Dark Nether Sect was. He could guess why his senior brother did not give much of an explanation. He must have known Duan Ling Tian would be able to find out more about it in the Situ Clan.

“Dark Nether Sect? Yes, I do.” Situ Hang nodded. “Just like the Drift Blaze Sect, the Dark Nether Sect is also a seventh-rate force in Windfall Nation. However, although they’re both seventh-rate forces, the Dark Nether Sect could not compare to the Drift Blaze Sect at all. Not only that, but it’s far from being comparable to our Situ Clan as well! In Windfall Nation, the Dark Nether Sect is considered as the weakest seventh-rate force. They only have two Saint Stage powerhouses in the sect. Moreover, the two Saint Stage powerhouses have only broken through to the Saint Stage a few dozens of years ago.”

Seventh-rate force?

Two Saint Stage powerhouses?

Duan Ling Tian frowned.

No matter how powerful or how many Martial or Dao Cultivators below the Saint Stage they had, he was not afraid at all.

With his current strength, he was confident he was invincible to those below the Saint Stage.

However, he was unable to deal with Saint Stage powerhouses. At the very least, it was not something he could deal with now.

“Master Duan, could it be your senior brother’s current situation has something to do with the Dark Nether Sect?” As the Great Young Master of Situ Clan, Situ Hang was, naturally, not an idiot. He could guess what had happened through Duan Ling Tian’s question.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian did not conceal the matter and told him that his senior brother and his close friends were kept as slaves in the Dark Nether Sect. “Since the Dark Nether Sect is a seventh-rate force, it’s almost impossible for me to save my senior brother and close friends with my current strength. Situ Hang, can you and your father help me with this matter? If you save my senior brother and close friends, I’ll owe you a favor!” Duan Ling Tian’s expression was somber when he reached the end of his sentence.

It was rare for Duan Ling Tian to owe people favors. After all, the debt of gratitude was the hardest to repay. However, today, for the sake of his senior brother and his close friends, he was willing to owe someone a favor.

“The Dark Nether Sect…” When Situ Hang heard his words, his eyes gleamed for a moment before he said, “Master Duan, if it’s not the Dark Nether Sect and some other seventh-rate force that’s stronger than the Dark Nether Sect, I’ll be able to agree to your request immediately. However, since it concerns the Dark Nether Sect, I must report this to my father so that he can make the decision.”

The moment Situ Hang’s words left his mouth, Duan Ling Tian could not help but frown. His first thought was Situ Hang was trying to avoid this situation.

The Dark Nether Sect was merely a force that was at the bottom of Windfall Nation’s seventh-rate forces so why would the Situ Clan fear it?

When Situ Hang saw Duan Ling Tian’s frown, he could, naturally, guess what Duan Ling Tian was thinking. He smiled wryly as he said, “Master Duan, I’m not trying to avoid helping you. It’s just that the Dark Nether Sect has some connection with the Situ Clan.”

“It has some connection with your Sect Leader?” Duan Ling Tian’s face turned grave. He did not expect the Situ Clan would have a connection with the Dark Nether Sect. If he had known about this earlier, he would not have saved Situ Hang. Naturally, he only thought about this inwardly.

At that time, even if he had known the Situ Clan had a connection with the Dark Nether Sect, he still would have saved Situ Hang since he did it to obtain the huge reward the Situ Clan had promised. However, he would not have saved him if he had known his senior brother and his close friends were enslaved by the Dark Nether Sect.

“Yes.” Situ Hang nodded. After seeing Duan Ling Tian’s glum face, he knew Duan Ling Tian must have misunderstood the situation. He quickly explained, “To be more precise, they’re not related to our entire Situ Clan but to Situ Ming and Situ Zhuo’s side.”
