"Tian Wu, y-you've made it to the Saint Stage?" The moment Zi Yun felt the aura from Feng Tian Wu's body, her eyes narrowed right away as a delighted joy filled her face.

"Yes." Feng Tian Wu grinned as she nodded. However, signs of worry could still be seen in her eyes as she worried about Duan Ling Tian's safety.

"S-Saint Stage? Wu'er has made it into the Saint Stage?" On the other hand, Feng Wu Dao, who was by the side, was completely dumbstruck. Looking at his daughter in a daze, he did not return to his senses for a long time.

Of course, he also knew what the Saint Stage meant.

Even though he knew that his daughter was originally just a step away from the Saint Stage, the moment he found out that she had already made a breakthrough to the Saint Stage, his heart was still filled with bafflement.

After all, this was the daughter that he had been watching over while she was growing up!

As he recalled the past, he sighed again in his heart. At the same time, he was washed with a deep sense of gratitude toward Duan Ling Tian as well.

It was all thanks to Duan Ling Tian that his daughter was able to get rid of the Fire Spirit Body and break the shackles of having a short life span. Finally, she managed to cinch the achievements she had today.

Since Feng Tian Wu had already made a breakthrough to the Saint Stage, it was natural for Zi Yun not to have any more excuses to ask her to stay back.

Even though she really wanted to break the promise that she had first made the last time, she still kept to it as she knew that she would only make her disciple resent her. This was not a beneficial thing for her.

In order not to affect the impression of her disciple toward her, she agreed to Feng Tian Wu's request to leave.

Now that Feng Tian Wu wanted to leave, of course, Feng Wu Dao would not plan to continue staying in the Drift Blaze Sect any longer. He was prepared to go to the Situ Clan in the capital of the Windfall Nation to reunite with Bai Li Hong, Sima and the rest.

After Feng Wu Dao and his daughter left the Drift Blaze Sect, Zi Yun entered the forbidden area of the Drift Blaze Sect. At the mountainside of an active volcano, there was a vast underground secret room situated inside. The surrounding of the underground secret room was fiery red and it oozed a series of blazing aura.

However, Zi Yun was not affected by this at all when she came here.

At the corner of the secret room, an old woman in gray, who was sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, seemed to have noticed something as she abruptly opened her eyes. When she saw that the newcomer was Zi Yun, she immediately climbed out of the bed and greeted her nonchalantly, "Sect Leader Zi Yun."

Casting a nonchalant glance at the old woman, Zi Yun said, "Black Crow, I have an errand for you now. After you complete this errand, you'll be free."

The old woman in gray was also the person called the Black Crow. A brilliance flashed across her eyes without warning as she asked in slight surprise, "So, you finally plan to use the promise that I've made to you last time."

Last time, Zi Yun had saved her life once.

She, on the other hand, was not an ungrateful person. Ever since that moment, she had followed her back to the Drift Blaze Sect and on top of that, she had even made a promise that she would only leave the sect after she had repaid her life-saving favor. She had waited for twenty years.

Of course, she craved for freedom, but in her opinion, she only wanted it after repaying her. Otherwise, she would feel guilty.

Originally, the Black Crow had thought that Zi Yun would never call upon the promise that she had made last time because, given her strength, she really did not need any help from her, particularly in these few years when the gap between Zi Yun and her had become bigger and bigger.

She had even prepared for the worst possible outcome already, that was to stay in the Drift Blaze Sect forever.

Today, the appearance of Zi Yun was like the dawn of light that illuminated the dark corner, making the Black Crow's heart that had been lonely for many years leap.

"Once you've finished this errand, you and I will be even," Zi Yun said.

"Just tell me," the Black Crow asked directly, taking a deep breath. No matter what kind of request it was, she would not reject it if she could do it.

"My direct disciple is leaving the Drift Blaze Sect now and will most likely spend a long period of time outside. I want you to protect her by her side. Protect her until her strength has surpassed yours! By that time, you and I will be even and you can then leave the Drift Blaze Sect to live a life that you want." Zi Yun did not beat around the bush as she answered directly.

"Is that Lassie Feng?" It was apparent that the Black Crow knew about Feng Tian Wu's presence too.

"That's right." Zi Yun nodded.

"S-She has made it to the Saint Stage already?" asked the Black Crow in slight astonishment. At the same time, warmth could be seen in her eyes. It was obvious that she had quite an amicable relationship with Feng Tian Wu. In addition to that, she also knew about the requirement that Feng Tian Wu had to reach before she could leave the Drift Blaze Sect.

Zi Yun nodded once again.

"With Lassie Feng's innate talent, now that she has made a breakthrough to the Saint Stage, I think it won't take her more than ten years for her to surpass me! Sect Leader Zi Yun, are you sure you want me to return your favor in such a way?" asked the Black Crow while looking at Zi Yun. "This is a loss to you."

"As long as Tian Wu is safe, it's already a plus for me." Zi Yun did not find this to be a loss.

"I understand then," the Black Crow agreed.

"She just left not long ago and I'm pretty sure she'll go to the Situ Clan in the capital first. Make sure you conceal yourself around her and if there's no danger to her safety, there's no need for you to make a move at all. This departure would be great training for her as well," Zi Yun told the Black Crow.

The Black Crow responded and then proceeded to leave this place that she had stayed in for over twenty years.

Of course, Feng Tian Wu did not notice the Black Crow following her at all because the gap between their strength was just too huge.

Even Feng Tian Wu did not notice it, let alone Feng Wu Dao.

After the two of them left the Drift Blaze Sect, they headed straight to the capital. Upon reaching the capital, they proceeded to go to the Situ Clan.

When the Situ Clan members learned that Lady Feng from the Drift Blaze Sect had come, Situ Hao, the Clan Leader, personally came out to welcome her, giving his full respect to the Drift Blaze Sect. Of course, in addition to giving respect to the Drift Blaze Sect, he was showing full respect to Duan Ling Tian as well.

Who in the Windfall Nation did not know that Lady Feng of the Drift Blaze Sect had an abnormal relationship with the former Interim Advisor Master Duan of the Situ Clan?

When Bai Li Hong, Sima and the rest discovered that Feng Wu Dao was back, they were all delighted with joy.

"Miss Tian Wu!" When Xiong Quan and Gold Thug saw Feng Tian Wu again, they were overwhelmed with emotions too.

"It's been such a long time. How are you two now?" Feng Tian Wu greeted the two of them with a wide smile.

"Good, good." The two of them quickly nodded.

The purpose of Feng Tian Wu leaving the Drift Blaze Sect this time was to look for Duan Ling Tian.

Even though Bai Li Hong and the rest did not know where Duan Ling Tian had gone, she could still guess his destination after learning some things from them. "Sister Ke'er has been taken by somebody from the Fire Worship Sect which is a powerful force in the Dao Martial Saint Land's Upper Province. It's unrealistic for Big Brother Duan to find Sister Ke'er. In that case, he must have gone to find Sister Fei'er. She, on the other hand, must be together with Xue Nai now. Xue Nai has an indomitable force behind her. That force is also a remarkable force in the Dao Martial Saint Land! Before Big Brother Duan came to the Dao Martial Saint Land, she even gave him a great number of fifth-grade Saint Stones and a small amount of fourth-grade Saint Stones."

Some of this information was already long known by Feng Tian Wu while Bai Li Hong and the rest recently found out about a part of them.

After a series of speculation, she became certain of it. "In that case, the force behind Xue Nai must be a fifth-rated force. Fifth-rated force, Han Xue Nai… With the surname Han… Though there are several dozen fifth-rated forces in the Dao Martial Saint Land, there's only one that has the surname Han. The Greenwave Han Mansion!"

In the end, Feng Tian Wu was very certain about it.

Greenwave Han Mansion!

The smart Feng Tian Wu had her target set now.

Of course, she did not dare to be 100% sure about it as well.

However, even though she was not 100% sure, she would not just let such an important clue go unnoticed.

Right now, her train of thoughts was similar to Duan Ling Tian.

However, even though she could guess that he might have gone to the Greenwave Han Mansion, she did not tell anybody else including her father.

She knew very well that if she told her father, Bai Li Hong and the rest, it would only invite trouble for them and that would be terrible.

If Duan Ling Tian knew what Feng Tian Wu was thinking about now, he would definitely feel that she was being very sensible. Almost every thought of hers was similar to his.

Now that she had locked her sights on her target, Feng Tian Wu proceeded to accompany Feng Wu Dao for several days before leaving the Situ Clan in the capital of the Windfall Nation and headed north.

As she was traveling, she had a strong intuition that her direction was correct.

However, Feng Tian Wu did not notice that there was a hoary figure following her from extremely far behind.

"Duan Ling Tian? Devilseal Tablet?" At the Mountainshade Black Market branch hideaway in the Windfall Nation, after Hong Zhen the leader found out about the news that had gripped the Windfall Nation in turmoil, his eyes narrowed at once.

As a Devil Cultivator, other than the powerhouses that were much stronger than him, the thing that he dreaded the most in this world was the Devilseal Tablet, the Super Saint Weapon on the Ten Great Saint Weapon Rankings.

Even a Martial or Dao Cultivator whose cultivation base was a stage lower than him would be able to use the Devilseal Tablet to kill him.

Therefore, after learning that the Devilseal Tablet had appeared once again in the Dao Martial Saint Land not long before this, the first thought that rose up in his mind was not how to get his hands on the Devilseal Tablet but revolved around his fear against it instead.

'I wonder if this Duan Ling Tian the same Duan Ling Tian that the headquarters is looking for. If the headquarter has already learned about the whereabouts of the Devilseal Tablet before this, he must be the Duan Ling Tian that the headquarters is looking for then!' Hong Zhen thought to himself.

Not long after that, Jing Yuan whom he sent out had also returned.

"Jing Yuan, have you checked it?" Upon seeing Jing Yuan returning, Hong Zhen immediately asked, "Is the Duan Ling Tian that we're looking for the same person who has gripped the Windfall Nation in chaos?"

"I've already confirmed it. He's the same person," Jing Yuan acknowledged, "However, his whereabouts are currently unknown and many powerhouses are looking for him now too. It won't be easy for us to look for him!"

"As expected, they're the same person!" A brilliance flashed across Hong Zhen's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Even if we might not be able to find him, we still need to look for him. On top of that, we must pass this news to the higher-ups."

Soon, the news regarding Duan Ling Tian was also passed to a higher Mountainshade Black Market branch.

In the end, the news had reached the Mountainshade Black Market headquarters.

"Has Duan Ru Feng's son obtained the Devilseal Tablet?" At the Mountainshade Black Market headquarters, after Leader Dugu learned about this news, his eyes narrowed immediately because he was a Devil Cultivator as well. He also dreaded the Devilseal Tablet from the bottom of his heart.

If it were possible, he wished that no Devilseal Tablet existed in this world.
