Chapter 1606: Devil Cultivator?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Situ Zhuo was the Second Young Master of Situ Clan. He was also the person who caused Situ Hang to almost lose his life.

As for Situ Ming, Situ Zhuo’s father, his position in the clan was just a level beneath the Clan Leader, Situ Hao. He was also known as Second Master Ming.

Although the Situ Clan seemed imposing as a whole, it was actually divided into two factions. One faction was led by the Clan Leader, Situ Hao, and the other faction was led by Second Master Situ Ming.

“The truth is, Situ Ming and his people aren’t the first to go against us. Even the previous generation, my grandfather, the former Clan Leader of Situ Clan, was also at loggerhead with his father who had his own faction as well,” Situ Hang said, “The Dark Nether Sect began to rise when Situ Ming’s father was at his prime. According to the information we obtained, the Dark Nether Sect was supported by Situ Ming’s father. When they grow stronger, they were meant to act as Situ Ming’s dagger to pierce through the chest of our faction.” When Situ Hang reached this part of the sentence, his expression was grave.

“All this time, our faction has always wanted to get rid of the Dark Nether Sect, but we couldn’t find a way. This is because Situ Ming is protecting them in the dark. If we make a move, Situ Ming’s faction might act recklessly and break away from us. At that time, even if our faction emerges victorious, the Situ Clan would still suffer a heavy blow. The clan might even be reduced into an ordinary seventh-rate force like the Dark Nether Sect,” Situ Hang voiced out his concern.

“I see.” After hearing Situ Hang explaining what was at stake, Duan Ling Tian’s expression relaxed immediately. If that was the case, Situ Hang’s reaction was justified.

“In this case, the Clan Leader might not be willing to help me even if you look for him?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“Master Duan, I really want to help you with this matter, and I’m sure my father would feel the same way. However, my father has to take everything into consideration. Even so, perhaps, my father would be able to come out with a solution to rescue your senior brother and close friends from the Dark Nether Sect without stepping on Situ Ming’s toes,” Situ Hang said apologetically.

“The Dark Nether Sect’s people are mostly Devil Cultivators and possess a violent temper. It’s better for us to not delay this matter. Your senior brother and close friends might be in danger. I’ll look for my father now!” Situ Hang said before he left to look for his father, Situ Hao, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan.

“Wait a minute!” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes gleamed brilliantly as he called out to Situ Hang, “Did you just say the Dark Nether Sect’s people are mostly Devil Cultivators?”

Devil Cultivators?

Perhaps, the existence of Devil Cultivators was terrifying to other people since they were violent and brutally ruthless. However, to Duan Ling Tian, they were like meat on his chopping board.

The ‘meat’ obviously referred to Devil Cultivators who were, at most, one stage higher than Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base. If the Devil Cultivator’s cultivation base was two stages higher than Duan Ling Tian, he would be rendered powerless. In fact, if he met with a Devil Cultivator like that, he would probably be the meat on the chopping board instead.

Naturally, this was because he possessed the Devilseal Tablet. However, he could only deal with Devil Cultivators with cultivation base one stage higher than him at most.

“Yes.” Although Situ Hang had no idea why Duan Ling Tian was interested in this, he nodded and continued to say, “The majority of Dark Nether Sect’s elders and disciples are all Devil Cultivators… The strongest people in the sect such as the Sect Leader of Dark Nether Sect, Supreme Elders and a few Vice Sect Leaders are all Devil Cultivators as well! The Sect Leader and one of the Supreme Elders of the Dark Nether Sect only broke through to the Saint Stage a few dozens of years ago. They’re considered weak among other Saint Stage powerhouses. However, their battle abilities are stronger than other bottom-rank ordinary Saint Stage Martial and Dao Cultivators. This is the advantage of being a Devil Cultivator! The battle ability of a Devil Cultivator is well-known in the Dao Martial Saint Land.”

Duan Ling Tian had already known about the things Situ Hang told him.

“Devil Cultivators? Strong battle ability?” To Duan Ling Tian, Situ Hang’s words were like a joke.

Perhaps, to an ordinary Martial or Dao Cultivator, a Devil Cultivator might possess a strong battle ability. However, to Duan Ling Tian who possessed the Devilseal Tablet, they were not worthy to be mentioned at all. Naturally, he was referring to Devil Cultivators whose cultivation base was a level higher than him.

“Young Master Hang, tell me the truth. How confident are you going to your father?” Duan Ling Tian asked. His eyes shone as he looked at Situ Hang.

“Master Duan, although you’re not much older than I am, I still regard you as my senior. I really don’t want to lie to you. My confidence is less than 30%.” Situ Hang sighed. His heart was filled with guilt.

“In that case, there’s no need for you to tell your father about this,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“M-Master Duan?” Situ Hang was stunned. He did not know why Duan Ling Tian would say something like that. Could he have gone mad?

“I’ll deal with this matter on my own,” Duan Ling Tian said before he vanished before Situ Hang’s eyes.

Just as Situ Hang was about to look for his father, Situ Hao, and tell him about this matter, Duan Ling Tian’s Voice Transmission resonated in his ears. “Young Master Hang, I know you’ll still report this to your father. I really appreciate your kind thoughts. However, even if your father agrees to help me, I hope you’ll hold back for now and wait. Who knows, I might bring an unexpected surprise when I return.”

Duan Ling Tian’s Voice Transmission was filled with great confidence.

Situ Hang was shocked. He did not know where Duan Ling Tian got his confidence from.

After Duan Ling Tian left the Situ Clan, he walked through the streets of the capital of Windfall Nation, making his way west.

According to the voice transmission jade token his senior brother, Bai Li Hong, had asked somebody to send to him, he would be staying in the Dark Nether Sect’s base in the capital of Windfall Nation during this time.

This Dark Nether Sect’s base was not a secret in the capital of Windfall Nation. He found it easily by asking a random passerby.

As a seventh-rate force, even if it was a bottom-rank force, it was still a force with Saint Stage powerhouses. Due to this reason, the Dark Nether Sect’s base in the capital was luxuriously furnished. Although it was incomparable to the Situ Clan, it was still extremely spacious.

Duan Ling Tian had finally arrived at the Dark Nether Sect’s base in the capital. Naturally, he did not go through the main entrance. Instead, he entered by scaling the side wall.

With his current strength, unless it was someone above the Imminent Saint Stage, nobody would be able to easily discover his presence at all.
