“She’s from Mortal Continent? A girl on top of that?” When Duan Ling Tian heard Situ Hang’s words, he was greatly taken aback.

Even if she was a girl from Windfall Nation, her achievement would still shock him. After all, the girl was even younger than him.

Moreover, based on Situ Hang’s words, the fact that her strength had risen so much in just six months was enough to prove her innate talent was high, surpassing the younger generation in Windfall Nation. Such a girl was actually from the Mortal Continent, just like him.

‘Looks like other than Cloud Continent, the other two Mortal Continents has talented people hidden in there as well,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

After all, he was from Cloud Continent. If there was such an outstanding person on Cloud Continent, it would be impossible for him to not have heard about her.

Naturally, he did not completely dismiss the possibility of her coming from Cloud Continent. She could have kept a low profile.

“If I defeat her, my name should be able to spread through Windfall Nation, right?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at Situ Hang.

“Of course!” Situ Hang nodded solemnly. “If you can defeat her, not only will your name spread in Windfall Nation, but it’ll even spread to the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion. After all, that girl’s also a well-known person in the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion.”

When Duan Ling Tian heard Situ Hang’s words, he felt at ease and instantly made up his mind. “Then I’ll issue a challenge to her!”

When Situ Hang saw how Duan Ling Tian decided to go through with the challenge even after learning about her background, he was momentarily stunned before he asked, “You’ve made up your mind?”

“Yes, I’ve made up my mind.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Help me arrange it.”

“There’s no need to arrange anything. You just need to issue a duel invitation” Situ Hang shook his head. “Just leave the duel invitation to me.”

“Alright, thanks.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Naturally, he felt more at ease since Situ Hang was the one handling the matter.

After taking Bai Li Hong’s portrait from Duan Ling Tian, Situ Hang left to look for his father, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan.

After Situ Hao learned that Duan Ling Tian’s senior brother was also a Three Star Saint Inscription Master and as long they were able to find him, he might also stay with the Situ Clan, naturally, he would put even more effort into searching for him.

Situ Hao could tell Duan Ling Tian would not stay in the Situ Clan for long so how could he not?

Although he did not have much contact with Duan Ling Tian, he could see Duan Ling Tian was a potential dragon who would soar up into the sky soon. He was not somebody that could fit in their tiny Situ Clan.

This matter had plagued him for some time. After all, once Duan Ling Tian had left, it would mean there would no longer be a Three Star Saint Inscription Master at his side.

However, Duan Ling Tian’s senior brother had given him hope even though he had not been found yet.

After passing the portrait in his hand to Situ Hao, Situ Hang said, “Father, I’ll leave the matter of helping Master Duan find his Senior Brother to you… I’ll help him issue a challenge to the Drift Blaze Sect instead.”

“Issue a duel invitation to the Drift Blaze Sect?” When Situ Hao heard Situ Hang’s words, he could not help but frown right away. “What’s going on? Why are you picking a fight with the Drift Blaze Sect? Why haven’t I heard of this before?” When Situ Hao reached the end of his sentence, his face turned grave right away.

The Drift Blaze Sect was a seventh-rate force in Windfall Nation. Their strength was in no way inferior to their Situ Clan.

The first thing he thought of when he heard his son wanted to issue a duel invitation to the Drift Blaze Sect was his son had enmity with the Drift Blaze Sect.

In his opinion, this was not something good.

“Father, you’ve misunderstood.” Situ Hang shook his head. “It isn’t me who wants to issue a duel invitation to the Drift Blaze Sect, I’m merely helping Master Duan to issue this challenge.”

“Master Duan?” Situ Hao’s frown deepened. “Master Duan has enmity with the Drift Blaze Sect?”

“No.” Situ Hang shook his head. Without waiting for Situ Hao’s question, he explained, “Master Duan wants to challenge the Drift Blaze Sect’s female disciple who ranked 23rd in the Heaven Ranking… The duel invitation I’m helping him to issue is to challenge Lady Feng from the Drift Blaze Sect.”

“Challenge Lady Feng?” After learning Duan Ling Tian did not have any enmity with the Drift Blaze Sect, Situ Hao also heaved a sigh of relief. However, when he heard the latter half of Situ Hang’s sentence, a hint of confusion could be seen in his eyes. “Although we don’t have many Heaven Ranking’s powerhouses, we still have a few, right? Why would Master Duan want to challenge Lady Feng? Lady Feng is not a simple person.” When he reached the end of his sentence, his face was solemn.

Whether it was Situ Hao or Situ Hang or most of the people in Windfall Nation, they all only knew this Drift Blaze Sect’s female disciple who recently rose to the top had the surname ‘Feng’. They usually referred to her as Lady Feng. No one knew what her full name was. In fact, not many people in the Drift Blaze Sect even knew her full name.

In the Drift Blaze Sect, even the sect’s elders and disciples also referred her as Lady Feng. She was also the direct disciple of the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect. A few years after she entered the sect, she had already occupied the seat of an honorable disciple and cowed all of the younger generations in the Drift Blaze Sect into submission.

A year ago, she had already been acknowledged as the strongest person in the Drift Blaze Sect, apart from the few Saint Stage powerhouses.

“Father, it’s true Lady Feng is not a simple person, but do you think Master Duan is a simple person?” When Situ Hang heard Situ Hao’s words, he refrained from making any comment.

“Of course, Master Duan is not simple. According to Elder Hou, his strength is enough for him to enter the Heaven Ranking! However, even if he’s qualified to enter the Heaven Ranking, he might not be able to defeat Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect. Six months have gone by, I’m afraid Lady Feng’s current strength is enough for her to enter the top ten of the Heaven Ranking.” Based on Situ Hao’s words, it seemed as though he did not have much confidence in Duan Ling Tian in regard to this.

“Father, I’ve also mentioned these things to Master Duan. However, he seems confident even after learning about this. I believe Master Duan is not the kind of person who speaks without thinking.” Based on Situ Hang’s words, it was obvious he had confidence in Duan Ling Tian.

Naturally, this was also because Duan Ling Tian had pulled him back from heaven’s gate. His life was rescued by Duan Ling Tian, it was only natural for him to side Duan Ling Tian.

“Since Master Duan Ling Tian is confident, then help him issue the duel invitation. After issuing the duel invitation, I’ll let Elder Hou accompany you and Master Duan to the Drift Blaze Sect to challenge Lady Feng. If it’s not because there’s some matter in the sect I need to personally deal with, I’d also like to see Lady Feng’s graceful bearing,” Situ Hao replied, his tone filled with regret.

Although the Drift Blaze Sect’s Lady Feng’s fame had spread far and wide in Windfall Nation, he had never seen her before.

“I’ve long heard that Lady Feng is an extremely beautiful woman with looks that can topple a nation. I’ll be able to feast my eyes to my heart’s content since I’ll be following Master Duan to the Drift Blaze Sect.” Situ Hang chuckled.

“Go now. After Master Duan’s matter is settled. You should also follow me to the palace to meet His Highness to discuss the marriage between you and Princess Qiu Ming,” Situ Hao urged. When he reached the end of his sentence, a smile appeared on his face.

Situ Hang blushed immediately when he heard his words and left immediately as though he was fleeing.

“This boy is blushing, huh.” Watching Situ Hang’s silhouette disappearing before his eyes, Situ Hao shook his head with a smile that was filled with love.

One must admit that Situ Hang was highly efficient.

It only took two days before the duel invitation he had asked a Situ Clan’s member to send out reached the Drift Blaze Sect, or to be more precise, reached the hands of the Drift Blaze Sect’s disciple who was guarding the monastery gate of Drift Blaze Sect’s estate.

“Situ Clan’s Interim Advisor, Master Duan, wants to challenge Lady Feng who’s ranked 23rd in the Heaven Ranking?” After the Drift Blaze Sect’s disciple saw the content of the duel invitation, he was stunned. “There’s no name. What Master Duan… How haughty can this person be? Does he really think he’s in the same league as Lady Feng? Looks like he’s just another masochist!”

As the disciple responsible for guarding the monastery gate of Drift Blaze Sect, he had already received not fewer than ten duel invitations in this one year even though he was not on shift every day.

All of the contents of the duel invitations were to challenge their Drift Blaze Sect’s Lady Feng.

Although there were many challengers, the outcome was all the same. They were all defeated by Lady Feng in just one fell swoop.

As Lady Feng’s name spread even more, nobody dared to send a duel invitation anymore in this one month. He did not expect there was another masochist who would issue a duel invitation after a month. Moreover, this masochist seemed quite pompous as well. He did not even reveal his full name and only referred to himself as Master Duan.

If Duan Ling Tian knew the thoughts of this Drift Blaze Sect’s disciple, he would definitely feel wronged. He did not even know the content written in the duel invitation. If he had personally written the duel invitation, there was no doubt he would have written his full name.

However, since Situ Hang was the one who had written the duel invitation, due to his respect for Duan Ling Tian, it was only natural he did not use his full name.

In Situ Hang’s opinion, Master Duan was an honorific title, representing his respect toward Duan Ling Tian.

“Situ Clan? The Situ Clan from the capital?” When another Drift Blaze Sect’s disciple heard the news, he was taken by surprise as well.

“It seems like it.” The former nodded.

“Tsk tsk… The challenger is the Situ Clan’s Interim Advisor! If he’s defeated, isn’t Situ Clan worried their name would fall?” Another Drift Blaze Sect’s disciple mocked.

“Even if the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan fails, I don’t think it’ll impact Situ Clan much. After all, our Drift Blaze Sect’s Lady Feng is known as the strongest Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse in Windfall Nation! If it wasn’t for the fact that that fellow who’s ranked 11th in the Heaven Ranking refuses to see us, our Lady Feng would have long defeated him and be ranked 11th in the Heaven Ranking.”

“I’ve heard from an inner court elder that Lady Feng’s current strength is enough to enter the top ten in the Heaven Ranking!”

…

Each of the Drift Blaze Sect’s disciples words were filled with admiration toward Lady Feng.
