Chapter 1652: An Imminent crisis

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian’s Disguising Secret Tactic greatly surprised Han Xue Nai.

“Xue Nai.” Suddenly, an idea that could counter the proposal from the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind. “I can teach you the Disguising Secret Tactic, and you can make yourself look disfigured. At that time, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion might not want to marry you when he sees your appearance.”

The moment his words left his mouth, Han Xue Nai’s eyes lit up immediately. She felt that the idea might work.

However, when she thought about it carefully, her face darkened again. “Brother Ling Tian, it won’t work. Let alone this is only a temporary solution, even if the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion cancels the marriage, the Greenwave Han Mansion would still receive backlash from the Rising Sky Mansion if my disguise is exposed. Moreover, the date of our marriage has already been set, and they’ve invited many honorable guests. Due to this reason, even if my face is disfigured, and the Young Mansion Master is no longer interested me, they might not even cancel the marriage. No matter how ugly I look, the Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion will probably not cancel the marriage.”

When Han Xue Nai reached the end of her sentence, her face was filled with helplessness and bitterness.

The Rising Sky Mansion was a fourth-rate force, and its power was far superior to the Greenwave Han Mansion.

The Greenwave Han Mansion would have to behave themselves before the Rising Sky Mansion.

“The marriage date is already set? The guests have already been invited?” Duan Ling Tian’s face turned grave as his eyes gleamed coldly. “Xue Nai, when’s the date?”

“In a year’s time,” Han Xue Nai replied.

“A year?” Duan Ling Tian nodded before saying, “So, unless something happens to the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, they would not let this matter go no matter what?”

“Yes.” Han Xue Nai nodded. As a disgusted look flashed across her eyes, she said in a voice filled with hate, “I’ve long heard about the infamous Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. He’s basically the same as Han Jin Nian! How good would it be if something happens to him, and he dies within this one year period!”

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian kept quiet. His eyes gleamed brilliantly, nobody knew what he was thinking about.

Suddenly, as though she had recalled something, Han Xue Nai asked Duan Ling Tian with a grave expression, “Brother Ling Tian, the message you left behind on Cloud Continent stated that Sister Ke’er has been taken away by somebody from the Fire Worship Sect?”

“Why? Do you know about the Fire Worship Sect, Xue Nai?” When Duan Ling Tian saw the grave expression on Xue Nai’s face, he faintly felt that she knew something about the Fire Worship Sect.

“Before this, I really didn’t know about the Fire Worship Sect. However, I asked Qing Nu about it when I returned, and she found a book that contained some information about the Fire Worship Sect,” Han Xue Nai said. She raised her hand and an ancient looking book appeared out of thin air. She passed the book to Duan Ling Tian.

“I’ve already marked the few pages that contained information about the Fire Worship Sect,” Han Xue Nai added.

Duan Ling Tian instantly turned to the pages that Han Xue Nai had marked. His expression turned graver as time continued to pass.

“The Fire Worship Sect is one of the top three religions in the Dao Martial Saint Land, and it’s an extremely famous force? After the Dao Martial Saint Land had split into two, it moved to the Upper Province?” Duan Ling Tian had already known the Dao Martial Saint Land was separated into the Upper and Lower Province. He also suspected the Fire Worship Sect was from the Upper Province. He was already mentally prepared for this.

This was because Ke’er’s sister had revealed her own identity when she brought her away. Moreover, Di Jue, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, had never heard of the Fire Worship Sect before.

Previously, although Duan Ling Tian knew the dragon clan was powerful, he did not know much about it. It was only after he had gone to Windfall Nation and settled down in the Situ Clan that he read the records that had been in the Situ Clan since ancient times regarding the dragon clan.

The dragon clan was a fourth-rate force and was also one of the quasi third-rate forces in the Dao Martial Saint Land’s Lower Province.

Although quasi third-rate forces were still fourth rate forces, their power was far superior to ordinary fourth-rate forces. It might be weaker than third-rate forces, but it was definitely stronger than ordinary fourth-rate forces.

However, such an important person from such a force had never heard of the Fire Worship Sect before.

At that time, Duan Ling Tian had already begun to suspect the Fire Worship Sect was not from the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, but from the Upper Province.

Although he suspected the Fire Worship Sect was from the Upper Province, he did not think it would be one of the most famous forces in the Upper Province of Dao Martial Saint Land.

Among the three religions and nine forces, the three great religions had been unmovable colossuses in the Dao Martial Saint Land since ancient times.

The Fire Worship Sect was one of them.

Duan Ling Tian’s feelings hit rock bottom when he found out what kind of sect the Fire Worship Sect was.

A powerful force that stood on the summit of the Dao Martial Saint Land?

“How did Ke’er have a connection with someone from the Fire Worship Sect? Moreover, it’s her sister!” Duan Ling Tian could not understand this at all.

The Fire Worship Sect was one of the most famous forces in the Upper Province of Dao Martial Saint Land. Ke’er, on the other hand, had grown up in his hometown, Fresh Breeze Town.

Even on the Mortal Continent, Fresh Breeze Town was an unknown and isolated place, let alone the Dao Martial Saint Land.

The Fire Worship Sect and Fresh Breeze Town were poles apart!

However, the fact remained that Ke’er who had come from Fresh Breeze Town like him had something to do with the Fire Worship Sect. The woman who looked identical to Ke’er claimed she was her sister, and she was from the Fire Worship Sect!

When Han Xue Nai saw the changes on Duan Ling Tian’s face, she remained silent.

She understood how Duan Ling Tian felt.

Initially, before she learned about the Fire Worship Sect, she was indifferent. However, after she read the book and learned about the origin and the strength of the Fire Worship Sect, she was stunned as well. It was only then she knew such a powerful force existed in the Dao Martial Saint Land.

It was one of the three oldest and greatest religions in the Dao Martial Saint Land. It was a colossal force in the Dao Martial Saint Land!

At that time, she had thought to herself if her Brother Ling Tian found out the woman who took Sister Ke’er away came from such a force, he would definitely be unable to accept it.

As it turned out, she was right.

Earlier, she was considering if she should disclose the information she had regarding the Fire Worship Sect to Duan Ling Tian. In the end, she did not think it was right to hide it from him. Her Brother Ling Tian would find out about it eventually, and he had a right to know about it.

“Brother Ling Tian…” At this moment, it was Han Xue Nai’s turn to reassure Duan Ling Tian.

“I’m alright,” Duan Ling Tian shook his head before he said to Han Xue Nai, “Xue Nai, please arrange a room for me. I want to rest.”

“Alright.” Han Xue Nai nodded before she personally brought Duan Ling Tian to a vacant room.

Han Xue Nai sensibly bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian since she knew he was in a bad mood. When she left, she had a bitter expression on her face. She was just as distressed as her Brother Ling Tian.

When she thought of her current situation, she could not help but feel extremely glum.

She knew she could run away from the Greenwave Han Mansion if she wanted to since her father had asked her to leave as well. However, she had rejected that idea. If she were to leave, it would implicate the Greenwave Han Mansion.

She did not care about Han Xin and the others. However, she could not leave her father and Uncle Mu. Due to this reason, she rejected her father’s suggestion and chose to stay behind.

“I can’t believe that I, Han Xue Nai, would have a day like this as well. If I had known Han Xin is a merciless wolf, I would have ignored him that day. If I didn’t go over to his place that day, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion would not have seen me.” Every time she recalled the incident that day, her heart would be filled with great regrets.

However, as the saying went, ‘It’s hard to stay objective when one is personally involved in the situation.’ Even if she did not go over that day, Han Xin would have thought of another way to raise the interest of the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion in her.

For example, he could have just asked somebody to draw a portrait of her.

After Han Xue Nai left, Duan Ling Tian sat cross-legged on the bed in a daze. His thoughts were only filled with Ke’er.

After some time had passed, he realized it would be useless for him to sit in a daze, and he regained his senses. ‘Ke’er was brought away by her sister. It didn’t seem like her sister would harm her. I can only hope she doesn’t hurt the child in Ke’er’s belly for Ke’er’s sake.”

Until now, Duan Ling Tian could still remember the woman’s anger when she found out Ke’er was pregnant with his child. At that time, it seemed as though the woman had wanted to kill him on the spot.

‘Cultivate! Cultivate!’ When he thought about how Ke’er might have been brought to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, his mind was only filled with thoughts of cultivating.

As far as he knew, his cultivation base would need to be at the Eminent Saint Stage at the very least to cross to the Upper Province from the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

Only a powerhouse at the Early Eminent Saint Stage or above could freely travel between the Upper and Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

“Ke’er, wait for me… I’ll definitely rescue you and our child.” Duan Ling Tian’s gaze was burning as he entered the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda with just a thought.

“I hope that I’ll benefit from the closed-door cultivation this time. If I still can’t make a breakthrough to the Saint Stage, I won’t be of any help to Xue Nai at all.” Duan Ling Tian felt greatly pressured during the closed-door cultivation this time.

It would take a while before he could rescue Ke’er. Han Xue Nai’s current situation was extremely urgent.
