Master Duan.
Although Duan Ling Tian appeared very young, Situ Hao, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, did not dare to slack at all when he met him. His voice was filled with respect when he spoke.
When Duan Ling Tian first laid eyes on Situ Hao, he knew Situ Hao was also a Saint Stage powerhouse.

Clan Leader Situ.
Duan Ling Tian nodded his head in response to Situ Hao’s greeting.
Although Situ Hao was a Saint Stage powerhouse, Duan Ling Tian still did not feel any pressure from him. He might only be a Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator, but he had already killed a Saint Stage powerhouse before. Naturally, he would not lose his cool in front of a Saint Stage powerhouse.
Situ Hao’s impression of Duan Ling Tian had risen a few notches due to his manner that was neither humble nor arrogant. Previously, he had thought Situ Hou was exaggerating when he spoke about Duan Ling Tian. However, he could see now that Situ Hou was telling the truth, he was not exaggerating. This young man called Duan Ling Tian was indeed extraordinary.

Master Duan, I heard from Elder Hou that you’ll need many materials to rid my son of the Devil Inscription? I wonder what kind of materials do you need?
Situ Hao asked bluntly. There was a sense of urgency when he spoke.
Originally, Situ Hao had also lost all hope of finding a cure for his son’s peculiar illness. He was overjoyed now that there was hope.

I’ve already drawn the materials with the descriptions at the side.
Duan Ling Tian passed the paper containing the sketches that he had prepared while he waited in the room to Situ Hao. All types of materials were drawn on the paper with their characteristics listed next to them to help them identify the materials.
Situ Hao glanced at the sketches on the paper and kept it as though it was some kind of treasure. At the same time, he asked Duan Ling Tian,
Master Duan, after I’m done gathering the materials, how long will it take to completely rid my son of the Devil Inscription?


One month,
Duan Ling Tian replied confidently,
In just a month, I’ll return you a Young Master Situ who’s alive and kicking, Clan Leader Situ.

One month!
When they heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, not only Situ Hao, but even Situ Hou’s eyes lit up immediately.
Situ Hao bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian before he hurriedly left. It was apparent Situ Hao had gone to look for the materials.
Before he left, he also promised Duan Ling Tian he would give him two Four Star Dao Talismans as long as Situ Hang was cured.
Duan Ling Tian was not too concerned about this. Since the Situ Clan had already given their words in public, naturally, it was impossible they would go back on their words. Otherwise, they would only be slapping their own faces.
Moreover, before he came to Situ Clan, he had also asked around and learned that both the Clan Leader and the Great Young Master, Situ Hao and Situ Hang, were good people and the praises the public heaped on them were not much.
What surprised Duan Ling Tian was Situ Hou stayed back even after Situ Hao left.
There were many vacant rooms in the large courtyard, and Situ Hou decided to stay in the room next to his, effectively making them neighbors.

Looks like Elder Hou is afraid I’ll run away.
Duan Ling Tian shook his head with a smile.
A few days had passed as Situ Hou continued to stay in Situ Hang’s large courtyard.
In another huge courtyard in the Situ Clan’s inner mansion, the atmosphere was a little heavy.

That Master Duan has been staying in Situ Hang’s large courtyard for a few days already? That old fella Situ Hou has been staying there as well?
A gloomy young man walked back and forth as he muttered to himself. His eyes shone coldly.

Don’t tell me that Master Duan or something is actually capable of getting rid of the Devil Inscription for Situ Hang?
The moment he thought about this, the gloomy young man’s expression turned grave. He instantly walked into a guest room in his large courtyard to look for the guest living in there.
The guest living in the guest room was a black-clad man wearing a grimacing mask.

Young Master Zhuo, is there a reason you came to find me?
The masked man asked.
From the masked man’s words, it was obvious this gloomy young man was the Second Young Master of Situ Clan, Situ Zhuo.

Are you certain nobody will be able to break your Devil Inscription?
Situ Zhuo asked in a deep voice.

Of course!
The masked man answered confidently,
Although my Devil Inscription is not a high-grade Devil Inscription, I’m confident very few would be able to break my Devil Inscription in the area under Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion’s control! Those who are capable of breaking the inscription are not in Windfall Nation!


Do you know that recently, somebody has gone to see Situ Hang and is now staying at his place… On top of that, that old fella Situ Hou has also been staying there,
Situ Zhuo said in a deep voice,
I suspect that person has a way of breaking the Devil Inscription on Situ Hang.


Impossible!
The masked man insisted.

Then how do you explain this situation? If he doesn’t have a way, he would have long left the Situ Clan,
Situ Zhuo said.
When the masked man heard this, he fell silent. After a long while, he finally said,
Find a chance, and I’ll follow you to take a look at Situ Hang… Once I’ve seen him, I’ll be able to confirm if that person is capable of breaking the Devil Inscription or not.


I guess this is the only way now… If that person is really capable of breaking the Devil Inscription on Situ Hang, our efforts this time would really be in vain.
Situ Zhuo’s face turned even more solemn as time passed by.
After a few days, Situ Zhuo could no longer maintain his composure when he found out the visitor was still staying at Situ Hang’s place. He brought the masked man with him to pay a visit to Situ Hang with the excuse of wanting to visit his ‘big brother’.
After meeting Situ Hang, the masked man’s expression under the mask changed immediately.
This was because he discovered Situ Hang’s condition had improved a lot. The energy from the Devil Inscription had also faded a lot.

Who exactly is that Master Duan? He’s actually capable of breaking my Devil Inscription.
The masked man instantly transmitted his voice to Situ Zhuo, shocking him. A hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. However, he maintained his composure on the surface.

Brother Hang, looks like you’ve recovered quite a lot… That Master Duan is really skilled. Even those Four Star Saint Inscription Masters are stumped and didn’t know what to do, but this person is able to heal you,
Situ Zhuo smiled at Situ Hang as he said,
Brother Hang, I really hope you’ll recover as soon as possible since I still have many questions regarding martial tactics to ask you.


Alright.
Situ Hang nodded indifferently before saying,
If there’s nothing else, I would like to rest now.

After Situ Hang discovered Situ Zhuo was the cause of his illness, he could not act naturally in front of him anymore even though he was not hostile. His temper was not so good where he would still be able to smile at someone who wanted to kill him.

Brother Hang, I’ll take my leave then. I’ll visit again another time.
Situ Zhuo, on the other hand, did not seem to notice Situ Hang’s coldness. After he replied with a smile, he left the room.
When he left the room, he saw Situ Hou standing in the large courtyard. He quickly greeted him,
Elder Hou.


Since when is there an extra person next to you? Who’s he?
Situ Hou asked indifferently when he saw the masked man behind Situ Zhuo.

This is a friend I met outside.
Situ Zhuo smiled in response.

If I’m not mistaken, he’s a Devil Cultivator, right?
Situ Hou asked as he looked at Situ Zhuo.

Devil Cultivator?
Situ Zhuo was stunned. He shook his head and chuckled.
You must be joking, Elder Hou… Our Situ Clan has a law stating that nobody in the clan is allowed to befriend a Devil Cultivator. I really don’t have the courage to befriend a Devil Cultivator.


That’s good to hear!
Situ Hou nodded nonchalantly.

I heard the reason Brother Hang is recovering so fast is all thanks to Master Duan’s effort. Elder Hou, I wonder which room is Master Duan staying in? I’d like to pay him a visit to give him my thanks on behalf of Brother Hang,
Situ Zhuo told Situ Hou.
Before Situ Hou could respond, one of the guest rooms’ door in the large courtyard opened with a loud creak as a purple-clad young man walked out. This young man had straight slanted eyebrows with dazzling eyes. His was handsome and filled with youthful vigor.
With just a look, Situ Zhuo could not help but feel ashamed of his own ungainly appearance.

Master Duan,
Situ Hou instantly greeted the purple-clad young man as soon as he walked out.

Elder Hou.
Duan Ling Tian smiled in response before he sat down in front of a stone table. He lifted a teapot and poured himself a cup of tea before drinking it. He completely disregarded Situ Zhuo who was standing at the side and the masked man behind him.
The masked man’s eyes gleamed with killing intent.
Was it this young man who was capable of breaking his Devil Inscription?

Master Duan, good day to you. I’m Situ Zhuo. It’s all thanks to you. If it wasn’t for you, Brother Hang’s outlook wasn’t good. Don’t worry, as long as you can cure Brother Hang, our Situ Clan won’t treat you unfairly.
Seeing how Duan Ling Tian had ignored him, a flame of rage instantly rose up in Situ Zhuo’s heart. However, he suppressed it and smiled at Duan Ling Tian as he expressed his gratitude.

Situ Zhuo?
Duan Ling Tian finally glanced at Situ Zhuo and nodded as though he had just realized something.
I’ve heard of you. You’re the Second Master of Situ Clan.
When Duan Ling Tian spoke, he emphasized on the word ‘second’ a lot.
Situ Zhuo’s eyes flashed coldly. It was obvious Duan Ling Tian’s intentional words had provoked him.
However, he did not dare to act recklessly when he recalled Elder Hou was just standing at the side.

That’s right. I’m Situ Clan’s Second Young Master.
Situ Zhuo smiled in response.
However, at the same time, he sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian.
I don’t know who you are, but let me warn you, it’s better for you to not meddle in this matter! As long as you stand aside and watch, and tell them you don’t know how to cure Situ Hang, I’m willing to give you three Four Star Dao Talismans! It’s even more than the reward Situ Clan is offering!


Stand aside and watch?
When Duan Ling Tian heard Situ Zhuo’s Voice Transmission, he was obviously stunned. Perplexed, he asked through Voice Transmission.
Isn’t Situ Hang your big brother? You’re asking me to stand aside and watch, you want him dead?


Stop acting dumb. Since you know how to break the Devil Inscription, you must know the Devil Inscription very well… If I’m not mistaken, he already suspects me, right?
Situ Zhuo sent another Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian again. Based on his words, it seemed as though he had everything under control.
