Due to this reason, Feng Hen knew it was impossible for him to rely on Skywreck Sect to get revenge after he learned about the relationship between Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu. Skywreck Sect would not offend Feng Tian Wu or the Drift Blaze Sect. Even his father, the Sect Leader of Skywreck Sect, would ask him to let this enmity go if he found out about this.
Feng Hen finally understood why the old man next to him would ask him to let the matter go. However, his heart was still filled with hatred. Although he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
In regards to strength, he was not a match for the man. In regards to background, it seemed like he had also lost to the man by a notch.
It seemed as though that man had suppressed him in every way possible like a gigantic mountain that pressed down on his head. He could not see any light at all, only darkness.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of Feng Hen's thoughts or how unresigned he felt.At this moment, because of Feng Tian Wu, he had become the guest-of-honor of Drift Blaze Sect. Even the two men from Situ Clan had been reduced to being his escorts.
Ever since the three of them arrived at the Drift Blaze Sect, this was the first time the sect had prepared a feast to welcome them. Naturally, Situ Hang and Situ Hou knew this was due to Duan Ling Tian.
During the feast, Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, sat at the host seat while Feng Tian Wu sat to the right of her. Her eyes did not leave Duan Ling Tian at all, and the smile on her face complemented her extremely beautiful face. It seemed as though her appearance could make everything in the surrounding turn dim.
When Zi Yun saw this, she sighed to herself. She could see her disciple's thoughts were completely focused on Duan Ling Tian. Although she was her master, her position in her disciple's heart was probably far from being comparable to Duan Ling Tian. There was nothing she could do at all even though she felt jealous. Perhaps, the saying, 'A grown girl can't be kept at home' referred to this situation.
Naturally, Zi Yun knew it was not appropriate to use this saying to describe her disciple since they only met each other a few years back. Her disciple, on the hand, had known Duan Ling Tian for a long time and had fallen for him since.
During the feast, Situ Hang and Situ Hou each proposed at toast to Zi Yun. For Feng Tian Wu's sake, Zi Yun did not reject them. It could be considered as her giving them a sign of respect.
As time went by, Situ Hang and Situ Hou continued eating before they bade farewell to the others when they noticed they atmosphere had gotten quieter, leaving Duan Ling Tian there.Both of them were not stupid. Naturally, they knew the atmosphere had gotten quieter because of them. Due to this reason, both of them decided to take their leave.
The moment Situ Hang and Situ Hou left, Zi Yun also ordered the attendants to leave. After that, only Duan Ling Tian, Feng Tian Wu, and Zi Yun were left on the scene.
"Thank you Sect Leader Zi Yun for your care toward Tian Wu during these few years," Duan Ling Tian expressed his gratitude toward Zi Yun as he stood up.
"Tian Wu's my disciple, it's a matter of course that I take care of her… On the other hand, who are you to thank me on her behalf?" Zi Yun asked indifferently as she studied Duan Ling Tian curiously.
When Duan Ling Tian heard her words, he was momentarily stunned.
The relationship between him and Tian Wu?
If he answered 'friends', it was obvious they were more than that. If they were only friends, how could it be possible for them to lose their cool when they saw each other?
If he answered that Tian Wu was just like his sister? It did not seem appropriate either.
If it was the version of him from before, he could truthfully say he only regarded Tian Wu as his sister. However, since the incident when Tian Wu had willingly sacrificed herself for him, his feelings toward Tian Wu had undergone an earth-shattering change. It was just that he did not want to admit it.
When he met her again several years later, he realized he could no longer suppress the feelings in his heart. Naturally, he did not plan to reveal his feelings now.
If he had revealed his feelings now and got together with Tian Wu, how should he face his two fiancés whose present whereabouts were still a mystery?
"Master!" Although Feng Tian Wu was a little disappointed when she saw how stunned Duan Ling Tian was by her master's question, she still took the initiative to save him from the embarrassment.
"Girl, you're not even married yet, and you're already helping him so much… If you marry him, won't you be bullied by him then?" It was a rare occurrence for Zi Yun to crack a joke.
This joke also caused Feng Tian Wu's cheeks to flush. She felt so embarrassed as though she was a little girl waiting to get married.
"Alright, I won't mess with you anymore." Zi Yun stopped smiling and shifted her attention to Duan Ling Tian. She looked at him with a burning gaze before asking, "Master Duan, the Territory you cast earlier seems to be called the 10,000 Swords Territory?"
"Sect Leader, you're Tian Wu's master. Naturally, you're my senior as well… The title 'Master' is too burdensome, you can just address me by my name." Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly. He continued to answer her, "My Territory is indeed called the 10,000 Swords Territory."
"Did you name it?" Zi Yun asked.
"Of course not." Duan Ling Tian shook his head. "Ever since I've broken through to the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage, a great amount of information about Territories appeared in my mind… According to the information in my mind, I learned that the Territory I mastered is actually called the 10,000 Swords Territory."
"You didn't name it?" Upon hearing his words, Zi Yun's heart jolted.
Previously, she had thought Duan Ling Tian was the one who named his Territory the 10,000 Swords Territory. It seemed like she was mistaken.
'Although there are many Territories that share the same name, apart from the message left behind by the senior who passed the Blazing Phoenix Progeny legacy to me, I've never heard of any Territory called the 10,000 Swords Territory before in my life.' Zi Yun gasped inwardly. She looked at Duan Ling Tian again and said bluntly, "Seven Absolutes Sect!"
"Seven Absolutes Sect?" When Duan Ling Tian heard Zi Yun spouting these three words so abruptly, he asked in a daze, "Sect Leader Zi Yun, is this Seven Absolutes Sect a sect in Windfall Nation as well?"
Although he did not know why Zi Yun suddenly mentioned the Seven Absolutes Sect, he still asked her about it.
Feng Tian Wu, on the other hand, knew about the Seven Absolutes Sect.
However, she was puzzled as well. Why would her master mention the Seven Absolutes Sect in front of her Big Brother Duan?
The Seven Absolutes Sect was a Dao Martial Saint Land's force from a long time ago. If it was not for her master who told her about it, she would have been unaware that such a force had existed in the Dao Martial Saint Land before. Moreover, she also knew the mental cultivation technique of the Blazing Phoenix Progeny that she cultivated was from the Seven Absolutes Sect.
The Seven Absolutes Sect had seven Absolutes.
Blazing Phoenix was the Fifth Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect.
When Zi Yun heard Duan Ling Tian's words, she asked in shock, "You don't know about the Seven Absolutes Sect?"
If Duan Ling Tian was the successor of Fog Rain, the First Absolute of the Seven Absolutes Sect, he should have heard about the Seven Absolutes Sect.
