Chapter 1561: Arriving at the Moon Illumination Sect

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Duan Ling Tian had thoroughly thought through his plan of crossing the vast desert to the capital of Wind Nation.

When he was still in the Moon Illumination Sect, he had heard his senior brother, Bai Li Hong, mentioned Windfall Nation numerous times. Based on Bai Li Hong’s words, he seemed eager to go to Windfall Nation as well. He had even said if it was not for the Moon Illumination Sect’s sake, he would have already gone to Windfall Nation.

Due to this reason, Duan Ling Tian thought it was highly likely that Bai Li Hong brought Feng Wu Dao and the others to Windfall Nation. He had a strong feeling about this.

What Duan Ling Tian did not expect was while he was crossing the desert to Windfall Nation, his cheapskate father had already left Cloud Continent again not long after he had obtained the clue he left behind on the Crimson Sky Kingdom on Cloud Continent’.

“Let’s go to the Moon Illumination Sect!” Duan Ru Feng and Ku Mi traveled like the wind. It only took them a day to arrive after leaving Cloud Continent. Naturally, during the course of this one day, they did not even spend one-tenth of it traveling.

Duan Ling Tian had mentioned in the clues he left behind that he would bring Feng Wu Dao and the others to the Moon Illumination Sect. He had explained that the Moon Illumination Sect was a seventh-rate force in the Dao Martial Saint Land and where it was located. Duan Ru Feng had instantly brought Ku Mi along with him to return to the Dao Martial Saint Land and to the Moon Illumination Sect.

Duan Ru Feng had both his hands clasped behind him as he hovered in the sky above the Moon Illumination Sect. His face was calm, there was no joy or anger that could be seen on his face.

However, if one paid attention to his eyes, one could see a hint of anticipation in the depth of his eyes. He was eager to see his son again.

“Who’s the Sect Leader of the Moon Illumination Sect?” Taking a step forward, Ku Mi’s thunderous voice resonated and spread out in the entire Moon Illumination Sect in just a blink of an eye.

The entire Moon Illumination Sect was in shock.

“The voice came from the sky! Our Moon Illumination Sect’s estate is shrouded with Flight Prohibition Formation so the owner of the voice must be a Saint Stage powerhouse!” The group of Moon Illumination Sect’s elders and disciples immediately realized this.

All of them had a shocked expression on their faces.

Why did a Saint Stage powerhouse come to their Moon Illumination Sect?

Moreover, based on his words, he wanted to see the Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect.

Meanwhile, the people in the forbidden area of Moon Illumination Sect were also taken by shock.

“Where did this Saint Stage powerhouse come from?” The Sect Leader of Moon Illumination Sect, Jiang Wei, and the few other Saint Stage powerhouses gathered together. They looked at each other, confused about who the visitor was.

However, since the person mentioned he wanted to see Jiang Wei, there was no way for him to not make an appearance. After all, the other person was a Saint Stage powerhouse as well!

Although they had no idea how powerful this Saint Stage powerhouse was, the few Saint Stage powerhouses from the sect still followed Jiang Wei and rose up into the sky to meet the person hovering high above the sect.

Soon after, Jiang Wei and the others saw a skinny old man.

The old man was dressed entirely in grey. He stood there, holding a cane and emitting a great pressure.

As Saint Stage powerhouses, they instantly realized this old man was far more powerful than them.

Hints of dread could be seen in Jiang Wei and the others’ eyes immediately.

However, when they saw the middle-aged man standing at a higher position not far behind the skinny old man, horror dawned on their faces immediately.

This middle-aged man hovering in the sky with his hands clasped behind him emitted a piercing aura from his body.

No matter how one looked at him, he looked like an ordinary person. However, based on his position and the superior aura emanating from his body, it was apparent he was much stronger than the skinny old man. It was obvious the skinny old man was just his subordinate.

“May I know who the two of you are, lords?” Jiang Wei and the others came in hostility. However, when they say these two men were not to be trifled with, they all lowered their heads humbly.

Although they were all Saint Stage powerhouses, they knew they were merely at the bottom of the Saint Stage.

When they encountered a stronger Saint Stage powerhouse, naturally, they did not dare to slack.

“Who’s the Sect Leader of the Moon Illumination Sect?” Ku Mi ignored Jiang Wei and the others and repeated his question again. His tone was filled with impatience.

Jiang Wei and the others did not dare to get annoyed over the fact that Ku Mi had ignored them. Jiang Wei instantly replied, “Lord, I’m Jiang Wei, the Sect Leader of the Moon Illumination Sect. I wonder what’s the purpose of your visit to the Moon Illumination Sect, Lord?” Jiang Wei’s words were filled with anxiety.

The skinny old man before him pressured him tremendously.

The feeling of being stared at by the skinny old man was as though he was being stared at by a poisonous snake that he could not defeat.

“Is there a person called Duan Ling Tian in your Moon Illumination Sect?” Ku Mi asked in a deep voice.

The moment his words left his mouth, he swept a quick look at Jiang Wei and the others’ faces, examining the minute changes on their faces.

The moment they heard Ku Mi mentioning Duan Ling Tian, Jiang Wei and the others’ expressions changed immediately. However, they forcefully returned their expressions to how it was before. In their hearts, a tempestuous storm began to rage.

This mysterious and powerful person was here to find Duan Ling Tian?

Did Duan Ling Tian not come from the Mortal Continent? Why would such a powerful person be looking for him?

At this moment, an ominous feeling rose up in Jiang Wei and the others’ hearts.

“Sect Leader, did you notice the middle-aged man seems to resemble Duan Ling Tian’s face by at least 60 to 70%?” At this moment, a Moon Illumination Sect’s Supreme Elder snuck a glance at Duan Ru Feng and spoke to Jiang Wei through Voice Transmission. His voice was trembling as well.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wei covertly studied Duan Ru Feng as well.

He did not pay attention to Duan Ru Feng’s appearance earlier. Upon closer inspection, he was shocked to see this middle-aged man did indeed resemble Duan Ling Tian a lot, particularly the bearing between their eyebrows. It was as though they were made out of the same mold.

‘Sh*t!’ Jiang Wei felt a little trepidation as a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He realized Duan Ling Tian must have a special relationship with the two men before him.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Wei quickly transmitted his Voice Transmission to the other few Moon Illumination Sect’s Supreme Elders, “Senior Uncles, Junior Uncles, let’s all answer in unison that we don’t know Duan Ling Tian, and there’s no such person in the Moon Illumination Sect!”

The moment the few Moon Illumination Sect’s Supreme Elders heard this, they agreed to it immediately.

At this moment, they realized Duan Ling Tian’s background was not as simple as they had thought it was.

Right now, they regretted chasing after Duan Ling Tian. If they did not chase after him, there would be no conflict between him and them. Even if Duan Ling Tian’s background was special, he would not have come to look for trouble with them.

However, things were beyond their control now.

Right now, they had only one thought in their minds — that was to find some way to stall the two men before them. If they managed to stall them, they would then find a way to salvage the situation.

Otherwise, if both of them learned about what happened between Duan Ling Tian and the Moon Illumination Sect, they had no doubt these two men would destroy the Moon Illumination Sect.

“Lord, although I’m the Sect Leader of the Moon Illumination Sect, I’ve never heard of anyone by the name of Duan Ling Tian in our Moon Illumination Sect,” Jiang Wei replied calmly as he looked at Ku Mi.

“You’ve never heard of him before?” When Ku Mi heard his words, his eyes gleamed coldly.

“Yes, I’ve never heard of him before,” Jiang Wei answered again with certainty.

“He has never heard of him before so what about the rest of you?” Ku Mi’s gaze landed on the few Moon Illumination Sect’s Supreme Elders standing behind Jiang Wei. At the same time, a sinister smile appeared on his face. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovelꜰɪre.ɴet

“Lord, I’ve never heard of him before as well.”

“Lord, me neither.”

...

At once, the few Moon Illumination Sect’s Supreme Elders shook their heads one after another, saying they never heard of Duan Ling Tian before.

“Tian’er is not here?” Duan Ru Feng frowned at this moment.

He had already searched the entire sect with his powerful Divine Consciousness, but he did not sense Duan Ling Tian at all.

“All of you really never heard of him or are you just refusing to admit it?” Ku Mi asked with a faint smile as he looked at Jiang Wei.

When Jiang Wei and the others heard this, their eyes twitched slightly. They realized the powerhouse in front of them must have discovered something.

However, they still maintained a calm expression and insisted they had never heard of Duan Ling Tian before.

“Lord Mansion Master, it seems like they have no intention of cooperating with us.” If Ku Mi was alone, he would not have been able to hold back and would have used his way to obtain the truth. However, he did not dare to act recklessly since Duan Ru Feng was here.

“Ku Mi, since when did you have a habit of reporting petty and useless things to me?” Duan Ru Feng asked nonchalantly. Now that he did not find his son’s trace, his heart was inevitably a little anxious.

Besides, he could also sense the restlessness from Jiang Wei and the others.

It was obvious they were only pretending not to know his son, Duan Ling Tian.

“Lord Mansion Master?” When Jiang Wei and the others heard the way Ku Mi’s addressed Duan Ru Feng, shock appeared on their faces.

Not everybody could use the title ‘Mansion Master’.

There were countless sects in the Dao Martial Saint Land but those who dared to called themselves Mansion Masters was none other than forces that controlled a piece of land. They were usually a fifth-rate force or above.

The title ‘Mansion Master’ was usually given to the leader of the fifth-rate forces and above.

The moment they thought of this, Jiang Wei and the others felt as though their sight had darkened. It was as though one could see a huge and dark cloud looming over them.

However, as Jiang Wei’s transmitted his voice again, the few of them continued to maintain their calm expression.

“Perhaps, he’s only saying that to scare us,” Jiang Wei said.

When the few Moon Illumination Sect’s Supreme Elders heard his words, they calmed down immediately. They felt it was strange for the leader of a fifth-rate force to appear suddenly in their Moon Illumination Sect.

Their Moon Illumination Sect was just a mere seventh-rate sect. In front of a fifth-rate sect or higher, their sect was no different from an ant.
