Who’s it? To think that person actually dares to loot from my, Sun Ying, herb garden! Damn it! Damn it!
Sun Ying still could not figure out who had looted from his herb garden even after he thought about it for a long time. His heart was filled with pent up anger and frustration. He could only stomp his feet in anger in the end.
He felt as though he was slapped by someone in the dark. He did not know how the one who slapped him was. He felt as though he had swallowed a bitter pill.
The amazing Medicine King, Sun Ying, had to suffer this humiliation in silence. If news of this spread out, it would cause an uproar in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian and his two companions who had escaped from the herb garden was unaware that the old man who had imprisoned them was a famous person in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
If it was not for the fact that Sun Ying did not like to be restrained by rules, he would be able to obtain an extraordinary position if he went to one of the three great sects. He would even be greatly respected there.


Perhaps, his strength would not benefit any of the three sects much. However, his achievement in the Medicine Dao was something nobody could compare to.
Duan Ling Tian, Gu Li, and Zhu Lu Qi continued making their way west and only stopped after they had traveled for a month.
During this one month, they had encountered many people who had wanted to kill them. There were many powerhouses in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land and these included the ruffians as well.
In order to gain more wealth, these ruffians hid themselves to ambush and kill passersby, looting the belongings of passersby.
However, most of the ruffians they encountered were dealt with easily by Duan Ling Tian and his two companions since their strength was only ordinary.
There was only once when they encountered two troublesome ruffians who were Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivators!
One of the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivators even had one foot in the Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage. His strength was on par with Zhu Lu Qi. When they fought, they had come to a draw. Neither one of them could get the upper hand.
When Zhu Lu Qi discovered he could not distract his opponent to deal with the other Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, Zhu Lu Qi’s expression turned grave immediately.
It was only when he saw Duan Ling Tian had transformed into the legendary Dragon Warrior and killed the other Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator in just a few moves that his expression brightened.
Due to the fact that Duan Ling Tian had killed one of the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivators, his partner was distracted. Due to a moment of distraction, he was killed by Zhu Lu Qi whose strength was on par with him.


It could be considered that he had died in vain! His strength was on par with Zhu Lu Qi! However, due to being distracted by his partner’s death, he was killed by Zhu Lu Qi.

Duan Ling Tian’s actually so strong?
At that moment, Zhu Lu Qi realized he was not the strongest in their little group of three. The strongest person was Duan Ling Tian, a Martial Cultivator whose cultivation base was at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage. It was two stages lower than his cultivation base.
He was unaware that Duan Ling Tian’s true cultivation base was actually not at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage but at the Eminent Saint Stage instead!
‘With my current strength, coupled with my ability when I transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior and all my other techniques, even an Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator wouldn’t be able to withstand more than a few moves from me. Compared to most Mastery Exemplary Saint Stage powerhouses, I’m stronger as well. It’s as though my strength is at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage!’ Duan Ling Tian understood more of the strength he possessed after that battle.
In an old city to the west of the Upper Province that had experienced the vicissitudes of life, Duan Ling Tian and his two companions found an inn to stay in for the time being. After that, they looked for a restaurant to have a meal and drink. Naturally, their main intention was not to eat and drink. When one’s strength had reached Duan Ling Tian and his two companions’ stage, it would not affect one too greatly if one did not drink or eat.
The reason they went to a restaurant was to find out where they were at. During this one month, they did not dare to rest at all. Due to this reason, they did not know where they were at this moment.
Four rough-looking middle-aged men were sitting near their table as they chatted. One of them suddenly said,
Hey! Did you hear? The Devilseal Tablet has appeared again!


The Devilseal Tablet? Didn’t it appear five years ago in the Lower Province? Many people from the Upper Province had gone to the Lower Province, but they all came back empty-handed,
another one of the men chimed in.

I’ve heard this news as well. Rumor has it that the Devilseal Tablet is in the possession of a young man. However, he seems to have disappeared without a trace,
another man said.

Your news is outdated… Not too long ago, the young man who possessed the Devilseal Tablet reappeared in the Lower Province! As it turns out, he’s the Young Mansion Master of a quasi third-rate force, the Azure Cloud Mansion,
the fourth man in that group said.



Azure Cloud Mansion? I’ve heard of it before. It’s a top-tier force in the Lower Province and Mansion Master Duan Ru Feng is also a rare genius! However, I can’t believe the young man who possessed the Devilseal Tablet previously is the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion.

Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised when he heard their discussion. He did not expect that people from the Upper Province knew who his father was.

The Azure Cloud Mansion is a top-tier force in the Lower Province, but it is nothing in the Upper Province! Since the young man’s identity has been exposed, I’m sure he won’t be able to hold on to the Devilseal Tablet for long.


You’re right! That Devilseal Tablet has been snatched by Elder Xie Zong from the Black Kshetra Sect!


Xie Zong? Wow, he really acted fast! Then, this means the Devilseal Tablet is in the Black Kshetra Sect’s possession now?

…
When Duan Ling Tian listened to the four men’s discussion, he was reminded of the incident that had taken place in the Azure Cloud Mansion.
He remembered vividly how bloodthirsty and arrogant Elder Xie Zong from the Black Kshetra was.
Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grave immediately.
Upon seeing this, Gu Li and Zhu Lu Qi looked at each other. However, they remained silent. They knew it would be pointless for them to say anything. It was better for them to remain silent. Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian would return to normal faster that way.


As the topic of discussion changed, Duan Ling Tian’s expression gradually relaxed.

I heard the Saint Girl who was lost after she was appointed by the Saint Sect has been found?
A faint voice entered Duan Ling Tian’s ears and attracted his attention. This was because he knew the Saint Sect the person was talking about was the Fire Worship Sect.
The Fire Worship Sect was referred to as a Saint Sect because this was the western region of the Upper Province, and the western region was the territory of the Fire Worship Sect!
Due to this reason, the Fire Worship Sect was also referred to as a Saint Sect in the western region. Whoever came to the Western Region would refer the Fire Worship Sect as a Saint Sect.
After Duan Ling Tian learned that he was in the Fire Worship Sect’s territory, he could not help but sigh emotionally.
He did not expect he would arrive in the western region, the Fire Worship Sect’s territory, so soon after he had arrived in the Upper Province.
‘The Saint Sect’s Saint Girl who was lost?’ Duan Ling Tian raised a brow as his heart jolted. ‘Ke’er?’
When he was still in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, he had heard from his father that Ke’er seemed to have been appointed as a Saint Girl by the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect a long time ago. Nobody knew how she appeared in the Cloud Continent.
Ever since then, the Fire Worship Sect had sent their men out to look for Ke’er everywhere, including the Lower Province, but it resulted in nothing.
Ke’er was only found when her twin sister found her in the Cloud Continent and took her back.



Yes, she has been found. However, I heard that because she had been raised outside, she had acted immorally and given birth to a daughter. Currently, the Enforcement Hall is waiting for the Sect Leader to come out from closed-door cultivation before they decide what to do with the mother and daughter!


Acted immorally? Aren’t your words a little harsh? As far as I know, the Saint Girl was an infant when the sect lost her. In other words, she didn’t know she’s the Saint Girl of the Saint Sect. How’s it possible for her to know that she had to keep her chastity intact?


Shhh… Don’t be so loud! If the Saint Sect’s Enforcement Hall finds out you’ve spoken such words, they won’t let you off!


Hurmph! I’m merely staring the truth!

The faint voices entered Duan Ling Tian’s ears and made his expression turn grave again as a hint of concern appeared in his eyes.
He was still worrying about the safety of both mother and daughter when he heard the following words.

The Saint Sect will start recruiting elite disciples in a month. This only happens once every three years. I wonder what kind of reclusive genius the Saint Sect is going to discover this time around.
A voice reverberated from afar, causing Duan Ling Tian to be stunned before an idea appeared in his mind!
The Fire Worship Sect would recruit for elite disciples a month later? And it only happened once every three years?
Duan Ling Tian’s breathing quickened immediately. His eyes gleamed as though he was a starving wolf that had found its prey.

Senior Brother Gu Li!
Duan Ling Tian looked at Gu Li.
Just as he was about to say something, Gu Li interrupted him.
I’ll accompany you!


What are you two talking about?
Zhu Lu Qi was baffled when he heard Duan Ling Tian and Gu Li’s words. Soon after, he learned from Gu Li that the Saint Girl who was lost was Duan Ling Tian’s fiancee, and her daughter was Duan Ling Tian’s daughter!
He was stunned, and he finally understood what Duan Ling Tian and Gu Li’s words meant. It was clear Duan Ling Tian was going to use this opportunity to enter the Fire Worship Sect, and Gu Li planned to accompany him.

Since both of you are going, I’ll go as well,
Zhu Lu Qi said to Duan Ling Tian and Gu Li after a moment of silence.
Previously, he might have traveled with Duan Ling Tian and Gu Li for safety reasons. However, after everything they had gone through together in the herb garden, he had already regarded himself as a member of this small team.
