Chapter 1574: Duan Ru Feng, Rising Abruptly Like a Rocket

The estate of Drift Blaze Sect was situated in a range of volcanoes.

Naturally, in the range of volcanoes, other than a few volcanoes in the middle that were still active, the other volcanoes had been dormant for a long time.

The inner court and outer court of the Drift Blaze Sect were also separately situated at the active and dormant volcanoes.

The Drift Blaze Sect’s inner court was near the most active volcanoes, it was also the Drift Blaze Sect’s forbidden area. This was because the people who cultivated here were all the Saint Stage powerhouses of Drift Blaze Sect. They were the guardians Drift Blaze Sect.

Usually, only those with positions higher than inner court elders could enter if they had matters to attend to. However, a few years ago, the forbidden law of Drift Blaze Sect was changed just to accommodate someone.

This was the first person who had not entered the Saint Stage but was allowed to cultivate in the Drift Blaze Sect’s forbidden area. She was also the only direct disciple of the Clan Leader of Drift Blaze Sect. She was known as Lady Feng by everyone in the sect.

A few of them could still remember when Lady Feng had just arrived at the Drift Blaze Sect. Many people were inwardly jealous of her and bad-mouthed her. They said she was only lucky she had the Clan Leader as her Master. Moreover, they also said she was good at flattering the Clan Leader, that was why she was allowed to cultivate in the forbidden area of the sect, a place with the richest Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the sect.

In fact, before this, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect had two other disciples, but none of them was qualified to cultivate in the sect’s forbidden area. However, now that a few years had gone by, nobody dared to say Lady Feng did not possess the qualification of cultivating in the forbidden area anymore.

What a joke!

With Lady Feng’s achievements at her age, she was certainly destined to break through to the Saint Stage. Moreover, her achievements in the future would not be inferior to the Sect Leader and the few Supreme Elders in the sect. This was because even the Sect Leader and Supreme Elders were not as outstanding as she was at her age. Due to this reason, there was no one in the Drift Blaze Sect that did not admire her.

In the Drift Blaze Sect’s forbidden area, there was a vast courtyard in the middle of the mountain.

In the vast courtyard, the plants were lush, giving off a refreshing and tranquil feeling.

At this moment, a seductive and sexy woman stood in the courtyard. She was dressed in a fiery red robe, making her look like a fire elf.

Her long hair that reached down to her waist was like a waterfall, complementing her face that was almost perfect. She looked just like a fairy that had descended from heaven.

Arched eyebrows, bright eyes, tall nose, and a cherry-like little mouth. All of them were created perfectly by the creator. It was not an exaggeration to say this lady in a fiery red robe had looks that could topple a nation.

“I’m still a step away.” The woman just walked out of her room. She heaved a long sigh as she muttered to herself, “Big Brother Duan, Tian Wu will be able to meet you soon… Master has also said that as long as I break through to the Saint Stage, she’s willing to let me leave the Dao Martial Saint Land and return to Cloud Continent. Don’t worry. It won’t take me long to break through to the Saint Stage!” The woman stared at the horizon in a daze, lost in her thoughts.

After a while, someone arrived, and she snapped out of her reverie. The person who had just arrived was none other than Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect.

Zi Yun was a dignified and graceful beauty. Looking at her almost perfect face, one could see that her beauty — when she was young — was not much different from that woman named Tian Wu.

“Tian Wu.” The moment Zi Yun arrived, she instantly appeared next to the red-clad woman, shocking her.

“Master.” The woman was very polite in front of Zi Yun. It was all thanks to the sincere nurturing of her master that she was able to achieve so much today.

“Get ready… The Interim Advisor of Situ Clan will come to our Drift Blaze Sect in two weeks. He wants to challenge you.” With a raise of her hand, Zi Yun passed the duel invitation to the woman.

“Situ Clan? That Situ Clan from the capital?” The woman took the duel invitation.

“Yes, it’s the Situ Clan from the capital… The people from Situ Clan are not simple. I’ve never even heard of this Master Duan, Situ Clan’s Interim Advisor, before. It’s better that you don’t underestimate him when you fight him,” Zi Yun reminded her.

“Alright.” The woman nodded as she opened the duel invitation. When she saw the word ‘Duan’, she could not help but feel a little dazed.

“Master Duan? He didn’t even state his full name. Seems like he’s quite pompous,” the woman commented.

“No matter who he is, and no matter how pompous he is, I have faith in you,” Zi Yun said.

Meanwhile, at the capital of Windfall Nation far away, inside the Situ Clan’s mansion, Situ Hang, the Great Young Master of Situ Clan, came to look for Duan Ling Tian again.

“Master Duan, I’ve already sent out a duel invitation on your behalf to the Drift Blaze Sect… The official date of your duel with Lady Feng is set to take place in two weeks,” Situ Hang said without beating around the bush after he saw Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. His glinted as he asked, “The female disciple from Drift Blaze Sect has the surname Feng?”

“Yes.” Situ Hang nodded.

“She has the surname Feng, and she’s from the Mortal Continent… Could it be Tian Wu?” This thought inexplicably appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind.

Taking a deep breath, Duan Ling Tian looked at Situ Hang and asked, “Do you know the full name of Lady Feng?”

“Sorry, I don’t.” Situ Hang shook his head. “Even the majority of people in Windfall Nation don’t know her name, let alone me. Moreover, only a few people in the Drift Blaze Sect knows her name.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded again. He shook his head and dismissed the thought that his opponent might be Tian Wu.

‘It’s impossible that she’s Tian Wu! Although Tian Wu’s innate talent is remarkable, it’s still restricted to Cloud Continent. Even if she has a good foundation and is stronger than other ordinary Martial Cultivators here in the Dao Martial Saint Land, it’s still impossible for her to be so ridiculously strong!’ When Duan Ling Tian recalled the achievement of the Drift Blaze Sect’s Lady Feng in just a year, he completely dismissed his suspicion of Tian Wu being Lady Feng.

However, now that he was reminded of Tian Wu by Lady Feng from the Drift Blaze Sect, his heart was overwhelmed with disappointment. “Tian Wu, where are you exactly?”

Situ Hang left knowingly as though he could see Duan Ling Tian’s heavy mood even though he had no idea why. He knew it was best to leave Duan Ling Tian alone for now.

In the Dao Martial Saint Land, the dragon clan.

Perhaps, to an ordinary Martial or Dao Cultivator, the mountain range the dragon clan inhabited was a mysterious place. Although they knew its location, it was difficult for them to break in.

However, to some people, entering the dragon clan’s hideaway was as easy as walking into an uninhabited area.

A middle-aged man brought along a skinny black-clad old man with him as they swaggered into the dragon clan’s hideaway. As they made their way in, they did not deliberately conceal their presence, and yet, they were not discovered by the dragons patrolling around.

Naturally, this was because their speed was too fast, and the dragons with a lower cultivation base were just unaware of what was happening.

The two travel-weary people who had journeyed a long distance were none other than Duan Ru Feng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, and Ku Mi, one of his competent subordinates.

Originally, with Duan Ru Feng and his subordinate’s speed, they should have long arrived at the dragon clan’s hideaway after leaving the Moon Illumination Sect. However, they had met with some issue halfway through their journey.

“I can’t believe some people from the Fire Worship Sect have long left the Upper Province and came to the Lower Province… If I’m not mistaken, the person whom they’re publicly and secretly seeking is my daughter-in-law, Ke’er.” Although they had entered the dragon clan’s hideaway, Duan Ru Feng’s heart was focused on another matter.

His mind was completely focused on the few people from the Fire Worship Sect he had met halfway through their journey. Those people were so powerful that they were barely weaker than Ku Mi… If the few of them had joined forces, Ku Mi might not even be able to defeat them.

He had killed all of them except one whom he had cast the Soul Searching Tactic on. He learned that those few people were not of any import in the sect. They were merely some inconspicuous people from the sect.

Since those people did not hold any important position in the Fire Worship Sect, Duan Ru Feng, naturally, did not manage to obtain any useful information. He only found out they came to the Lower Province to find someone. The person they were looking for was someone the Fire Worship Sect regarded as the Saint Girl.

After piecing together all the clues Duan Ling Tian had left behind on Cloud Continent, he could kind of guess the person that the Fire Worship Sect was looking for must be Ke’er who had been kidnapped by someone claiming to be from the Fire Worship Sect.

Although he had never seen Ke’er before, she was not unfamiliar to him since his wife had always mentioned her name. Ke’er was his wife most beloved daughter-in-law since she had watched her grow up. Although he had never seen Ke’er before, she was not unfamiliar to him.

Whoosh!

The sound of wind whistling accompanied the appearance of an old man dressed in a long blood-red robe as he blocked Duan Ru Feng and Ku Mi’s path.

Duan Ru Feng had already noticed the presence of this old man and had instantly put a stop to his wandering mind.

“I was wondering who dared to trespass into the dragon clan’s hideaway… As it turns out it’s you, Old Man Ku.” The old man who was dressed in a long blood-red robe shifted his attention to Ku Mi immediately. It was obvious he knew Ku Mi.

In the next moment, he shifted his attention to Duan Ru Feng who was standing in front of Ku Mi. Although he was not familiar with Duan Ru Feng, it was not difficult for him to guess his identity after he saw how Ku Mi stood behind him.

“Good day, Mansion Master.” After he guessed Duan Ru Feng’s identity, the old man gasped inwardly before he carefully bowed at him.

Duan Ru Feng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, did not even take 40 years to rise to his current position.

40 years was just like a nap for the dragons.

However, in such a short period of time, such a remarkable person had appeared in the Dao Martial Saint Land. This person was none other than Duan Ru Feng!

It did not take Duan Ru Feng more than 40 years to control the powerful Azure Cloud Mansion that was not inferior to the dragon clan in the dark to ruling it out in the open.

Although Duan Ru Feng’s age was nothing compared to him, he did not dare to slack in front of him. He knew he was not as powerful as him. In fact, his strength was comparable to their Clan Leader.

In terms of identity and position, Duan Ru Feng was someone who was on equal footing with the Clan Leader of the dragon clan.
