Only one Vice Sect Leader would usually be stationed at the Dark Nether Sect’s base in the capital of Windfall Nation.
Apart from Tan Chi, the Vice Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect, there were no more than two Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouses who came with Bai Li Hong to the Dark Nether Sect’s base in the capital.
Although there were two Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage Devil Cultivators, Duan Ling Tian did not fear them at all.
Let alone the fact that he had the Devilseal Tablet, one of the Super Saint Weapons in the Ten Great Saint Weapon Ranking, he was completely confident he could defeat them even without using the Devilseal Tablet. With his current strength, he was invincible to all powerhouses below the Saint Stage when he unleashed all his techniques.
Inside the base of the Dark Nether Sect, there was a quiet and big courtyard. Bai Li Hong was pacing back and forth in the courtyard as he muttered to himself,
Junior Brother should’ve received the voice transmission jade token I sent him by now, right?



At this moment, Bai Li Hong was unaware his junior brother, Duan Ling Tian, had already snuck into the Dark Nether Sect’s base.
Meanwhile, after Duan Ling Tian had snuck in, he instantly caught a Dark Nether Sect’s disciple. He said to him threateningly,
Tell me! Where’s the Three Star Saint Inscription Master who recently came here? You better not lie if you don’t want to die!

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes gleamed coldly, sending shivers up the Dark Nether Sect’s disciple’s spine.
The young man before him seemed young. However, when he was caught by him, he could not muster up any strength to resist at all. One could imagine how powerful he was from this alone.

He’s in the huge courtyard at the northeast side. The huge courtyard also has a 100 years old cedar tree in front of it,
the Dark Nether Sect’s disciple answered him obediently.
After Duan Ling Tian received the answer from the Dark Nether Sect’s disciple, he raised a hand and knocked him out instead of killing him.
He did not kill him because he had been cooperative, and this person would not have much of an impact on him even if he was alive.
Following the Dark Nether Sect’s disciple’s words, Duan Ling Tian found the huge courtyard that Bai Li Hong was in very quickly. After he entered the huge courtyard, he instantly saw Bai Li Hong who was pacing back and forth with a frown on his face.
When Duan Ling Tian saw Bai Li Hong’s familiar figure, his eyes lit up, and he instantly called out to him,
Senior Brother!

Bai Li Hong quickly turned around as soon as he heard his voice.



Junior Brother!
Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian, he was pleasantly surprised. However, when he saw Duan Ling Tian had come alone, he could not help but frown. He was baffled.
Where are the Situ Clan’s people? Why didn’t they come with you?


Master Bai Li, I can’t believe you actually have a junior brother.
At this moment, when Duan Ling Tian and Bai Li Hong were looking at each other, a voice suddenly reverberated in the air, followed by a figure dressed in a black robe.
When Bai Li Hong saw that old man, his face turned grave immediately.
Tan Chi, you’ve been monitoring me?
He said coldly,
My junior brother’s just here to see me. What are you trying to do?


Your junior brother’s just here to see you?
Upon hearing Bai Li Hong’s words, Tan Chi chuckled.
Master Bai Li, looks like your junior brother’s quite strong. He actually managed to get in without making a sound. It doesn’t seem like he has alerted any of the Dark Nether Sect’s disciples.

When Tan Chi reached the end of his sentence, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and studied him curiously. Since Duan Ling Tian came here on his own, Tan Chi, naturally, regarded him as an unwelcome guest.

My junior brother’s strength has nothing to do with you. He’s only here see me, his senior brother. He’ll leave immediately after this,
Bai Li Hong said since he did not see anyone else from the Situ Clan. Naturally, he did not wish for Duan Ling Tian to confront Tan Chi directly since Tan Chi was a lot stronger than him. However, he was not entirely afraid even if Tan Chi made a move.

Master Bai Li, since your junior brother is here, I think it’s better if I keep him here.
Tan Chi smiled.
In his opinion, since this purple-clad young man was Bai Li Hong’s junior brother, he would definitely be able to control Bai Li Hong better if he detained this young man.

Tan Chi, don’t force me into a corner!
Bai Li Hong growled and appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. He glared at Tan Chi as he guarded Duan Ling Tian.
True Energy surged from his body and a Saint Weapon that was inscribed with three Three Star Saint Inscription also appeared in his hand. Bai Li Hong pointed it at Tan Chi. It was as though he would attack Tan Chi if he dared to make a move on Duan Ling Tian.


As the saying went, ‘Worrying only leads to chaos.’ Bai Li Hong had completely forgotten that Duan Ling Tian was even more powerful than Lady Feng of Drift Blaze Sect. Although he was currently ranked 23rd in the Heaven Ranking, his strength was more than enough for him to enter the top ten.

Master Bai Li Hong, put aside the fact that you’re no match for me, even if you manage to momentarily block me, do you think your junior brother will be able to leave?
Tan Chi flashed a bright smile.
As soon as Tan Chi’s words left his mouth, two old men in black robes appeared and glared fiercely at Duan Ling Tian. It was as though they were prepared to attack as soon as Duan Ling Tian showed signs of wanting to escape
These two black-robed old men were none other than the two Dark Nether Sect’s elders who followed Tan Chi to the capital.
Although their strength was not at the Imminent Saint Stage yet, they were still powerhouses at the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage and were not far away from entering the Imminent Saint Stage. They could be considered as outstanding powerhouses who had reached the peak of the Paramount Saint Rudiment Stage.
Bai Li Hong’s face turned pale immediately when he saw this.
Although he was no match for Tan Chi, he thought he would be able to hinder him for a while and give his junior brother a chance to escape.
However, it seemed as though it was impossible now.

Tan Chi, if you don’t release my junior brother, I won’t return to the Dark Nether Sect with you!
Bai Li Hong threatened in a low voice.
However, upon hearing Bai Li Hong’s threat, Tan Chi merely laughed. It was as though he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Master Bai Li, are you threatening me?




What are you laughing at?
Bai Li Hong’s face turned grave.

Master Bai Li, you can choose not to return to the Dark Nether Sect, and I do believe you have the capability to do so. However, even if you manage to escape, do you think your junior brother will be able to stay alive? Moreover, there seem to be a few others back in the Dark Nether Sect whom you care about, right? Aren’t you afraid that they’ll die?
Tan Chi laughed loudly. Based on his attitude, it was clear he thought he had everything under control.

YOU!
One must admit that Tan Chi’s words had hit Bai Li Hong in his weak spot. It made him feel helpless.
Soon after, Bai Li Hong took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Vice Sect Leader Tan,
he said,
Please let my junior brother go… You don’t have to worry I’ll leave since my friends are still in the Dark Nether Sect. Having them is enough. It won’t make much of a difference if you have my junior brother or not.

One should take the soft approach if the hard approach failed.
For Duan Ling Tian’s sake, Bai Li Hong stifled his anger and lowered his voice.

Haha…
When Tan Chi heard his words, he laughed out loud instead.
Master Bai Li, this is my first time seeing you so humble. It seems like your junior brother has a higher position in your heart compared to those friends of yours back in the sect. If that’s the case, this is more of a reason why I shouldn’t let him go!

Tan Chi’s words made Bai Li Hong’s face turn grave immediately. He felt as though he had led his junior brother right into the lion’s den.
He did not notice Duan Ling Tian who was standing behind him was calm since the beginning. It was as though he was not affected by Tan Chi’s words at all. In fact, it seemed like he did not hear Tan Chi’s words at all.
There were only two possibilities for such a reaction.


One, Duan Ling Tian was deaf and did not know how to read lips.
Second, Duan Ling Tian did not take Tan Chi’s words seriously at all.
Naturally, it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to be the former.

Vice Sect Leader Tan, I’m afraid you’re unaware that my junior brother is the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan. I’m sure the Situ Clan knows about his trip here. If you capture him, I’m sure the Situ Clan won’t just let this matter slide.
Suddenly, a lightbulb went on in Bai Li Hong’s mind. He recalled Duan Ling Tian’s current position, and he did not hesitate to use the Situ Clan’s name to threaten Tan Chi.
Up until now, Bai Li Hong’s thoughts were still in chaos due to too much worrying. He still had not recalled the fact that Duan Ling Tian possessed the strength to enter the top ten in the Heaven Ranking.
Although Bai Li Hong had forgotten this, it did not mean the others did not remember it.
In just an instant, the two Dark Nether Sect’s elders’ expressions turned horrified as they stared at Duan Ling Tian.
Meanwhile, Tan Chi’s face had turned pale when he heard Bai Li Hong’s words. He looked at Duan Ling Tian skeptically as he asked in a deep voice,
You’re that Duan Ling Tian, the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan? The one who defeated Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect and is currently ranked 23rd in the Heaven Ranking?

One must admit that Duan Ling Tian’s fame brought with it a huge deterrent force. At the very least, it seemed to work on Tan Chi.
Although Tan Chi was at the Imminent Saint Stage, he was not qualified to enter the Heaven Ranking since he was not strong enough.
Tan Chi discovered Duan Ling Tian did not even bother to answer his questions at all.
An ominous feeling immediately rose in his heart.
Someone who could maintain his composure even after discovering his identity must be either an idiot or not afraid of him at all. It was apparent this purple-clad young man before him was not the former.

That’s right! How could I have forgotten this! Junior Brother is the strongest person among the younger generation in Windfall Nation! He’s a well-known powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking. Although he’s only ranked 23rd, it’s widely acknowledged that he’s strong enough to make it into the top ten!
Meanwhile, Bai Li Hong finally regained his senses and recalled Duan Ling Tian’s current strength was extraordinary.
Bai Li Hong instantly felt a burning sensation on his face as he returned to stand next to Duan Ling Tian.
He suddenly felt like he had acted like a clown earlier.
Currently, even his own strength was not a match for his junior brother, and yet, he had overestimated his own ability and stood in front of his junior brother in an attempt to protect him.
When Bai Li Hong recalled his earlier action, he wanted to dig a hole to crawl into.
