War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 1821 You’re Duan Ling Tian?!

“Ru Feng in the South… Ru Feng… Duan Ru Feng… I should’ve known!” Duan Ling Tian took another deep breath when he got his confirmation from Gu Li. He only managed to calm himself down slightly after a while.

As it turned out, his cheapskate father was the Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion!

“That’s… Incredible!” Although Duan Ling Tian had already gotten his confirmation, he still found it hard to believe. Who knew his cheapskate father was the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion!

What was the Azure Cloud Mansion? It was one of the top two forces in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!

As a quasi third-rate force, it had risen above all the other quasi third-rate forces and was on equal footing with the strongest quasi-third rate for a long time in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, the Mountainshade Black Market.

The reason for Azure Cloud Mansion’s meteoric rise until it was on equal footing with the Mountainshade Black Market was all due to the current Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ru Feng!

As it turned out, the current Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion was his cheapskate father!

Duan Ling Tian would not have been able to connect his cheapskate father to the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion if he had just heard his name alone since there were many people with the same name in this world. It would not be a surprise at all if it turned out to be a coincidence! However, the current situation was different because the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion had too many similarities to his cheapskate father, apart from having the same name. Moreover, they were both from the Mortal Continent. A few years ago, they even brought their families from the Mortal Continent to the Dao Martial Saint Land! Their rise in the Lower Province of Dao Martial Saint Land took less than twenty years as well!

Even if the first and second facts were coincidences, what about the third and the fourth? Are they all coincidences?

Hence, after learning more about the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion from Gu Li and the name of the Mansion Master, Duan Ling Tian was 100% certain his father was Duan Ru Feng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion!

‘As it turns out, father is the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion… Well, everything in the past finally makes sense now.” After confirming his cheapskate father was truly the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ling Tian remembered a lot of things related to his father and managed to piece the puzzle together.

“Does this mean the message in the voice transmission jade slips inside the Exquisite Jade Box that father left for me was for me to find his man so that I can be brought back to the Azure Cloud Mansion?” Duan Ling Tian still remembered he missed the opportunity to reunite with his family due to the damaged voice transmission jade slips.

For that reason, he came to the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land without anyone to depend on!

“That’s why Xue Nai said father wasn’t a simple person previously… In hindsight, he’s so much more than just a simple person!” Duan Ling Tian smiled bitterly when he recalled Han Xue Nai’s words.

The Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion! One of the top two powerhouses standing at the peak of the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!

In the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, apart from the guardians sent by the first-rate forces in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, the two strongest people were undoubtedly Leader Dugu of Mountainshade Black Market and Mansion Master Duan Ru Feng of Azure Cloud Mansion.

“If the voice transmission jade slips father left behind back weren’t damaged, I would be in the Azure Cloud Mansion now and become the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion!” Duan Ling Tian could only sigh. Humans were really at the mercy of fate.

It seemed like the cheapskate father he had been searching for since he came to the Dao Martial Saint Land was the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. If he had known this earlier, he would not have to go through so many hardships.

‘Although the journey so far had been difficult, it’s not without rewards. At least, I met Senior Brother Bai Li Hong and Senior Brother Gu Li. If I had gone directly to the Azure Cloud Mansion, I wouldn’t have met them.’ When Duan Ling Tian thought of this, he felt the journey so far was worth it although it was tiring.

“Moreover… If I’ve gone directly to the Azure Cloud Mansion, I wouldn’t have come to the Mystical Sky Mansion. If I didn’t come here, I wouldn’t have been able to enter the Saint Martial Secret Zone… If I didn’t enter the Mystical Sky Mansion’s Saint Martial Secret Zone, I wouldn’t have been able to obtain the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic!”

Duan Ling Tian had obtained two high-grade Divine Abilities in the Mystical Sky Mansion’s Saint Martial Secret Zone. The Otherworldly Celestial was not bad, but the Elementary Devouring Tactic was unique!

It would be impossible for him to obtain it in the Azure Cloud Mansion’s Saint Martial Secret Zone.

All in all, the damage to the voice transmission jade slips were both beneficial and detrimental to Duan Ling Tian. What he felt was his biggest loss was the opportunity to reunite with his family sooner. What he gained were his two senior brothers and the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic.

‘However, if I’ve gone directly to the Azure Cloud Mansion from the beginning and become the Young Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, I could’ve brought Ke’er and Little Fei’er to the Azure Cloud Mansion as well! If that was the case, they wouldn’t have to suffer in the hands of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, Di Jue! Furthermore, even if Ke’er’s twin sister had shown up, she wouldn’t have been able to bring Ke’er away due to the protection of the powerhouses from the Azure Cloud Mansion!’ When Duan Ling Tian thought of this, he became somewhat depressed.

When Gu Li saw the myriad of expressions flitting across Duan Ling Tian’s face and how emotional he was, he could not help but ask, “Junior Brother Ling Tian, you… What’s wrong?”

“I’m alright.” Duan Ling Tian finally regained his senses when he heard Gu Li’s voice.

He knew very well in his heart that he could not change the past. There was no use in thinking about it. As the saying went, ‘In life, you win some, and you lose some.’

“Junior Brother Ling Tian, you don’t seem fine… After you heard the name of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, you became very emotional. Can you tell me why?” Gu Li asked before he quickly said, “Naturally, if it’s not convenient for you to tell me, we can just pretend that I didn’t ask that question!”

“Senior Brother Gu Li, although we don’t know each other for a long time, friendship is about sincerity. I trust you so it’s not inconvenient for me to tell you about it,” Duan Ling Tian said, “The reason I got excited when I heard the name of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion is because his name is similar to my father’s name.”

“Your father has the same name as the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?”

Gu Li was so surprised that he interrupted Duan Ling Tian. “Who knew there’s such a coincidence… However, there’s no reason for you to be so excited even if your father shares the same name as the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, right?”

Gu Li was baffled. He thought that Duan Ling Tian had overreacted a little.

Same name?

After hearing Gu Li’s words, Duan Ling Tian shook his head instinctively before he continued to say, “My father and I are both from the Mortal Continent!”

“What?!”

When Gu Li heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, his eyes widened, and he had a shocked expression on his face. “Junior Brother Ling Tian, you… You’re also from the Mortal Continent? Is everyone from the Mortal Continent so monstrously talented? First, there’s the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion and then there’s you.”

“As for your father… Since your innate talent is so high, I’m quite certain your father can’t be weak either.” Based on Gu Li’s words. It was obvious he still had not made the connection that Duan Ling Tian’s father was the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. He had thought Duan Ling Tian only mentioned he and the Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion were from the Mortal Continent to emphasize on their origins.

“Senior Brother Gu Li, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion is my father,” Duan Ling Tian said without beating around the bush when he saw that Gu Li had not caught on to what he was trying to tell him.

Boom!

Duan Ling Tian’s blunt statement was like a bolt of lightning during a sunny day. Gu Li was dumbfounded.

The Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ru Feng, was Junior Brother Ling Tian’s father?

It took a long time for Gu Li to recover from the shock. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked in disbelief, “How’s it possible? If you’re the son of the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, then this means you’re the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion… Why would the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion join the Mystical Sky Mansion?”

“Moreover… No! Your name’s Ling Tian. The Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion’s surname is Duan… Duan… Ling Tian…Duan Ling Tian! You… Don’t tell me you’re the one everyone was talking about? The one who possessed the Devilseal Tablet? No! I’ve seen a portrait of the guy who has the Devilseal Tablet, you look nothing like him… No, wait! You might know a Disguising Secret Tactic, and Li Feng who appeared in the Rising Sky Mansion back then might be you in disguise as well! Y-you’re not Duan Ling Tian, are you?” The more Gu Li spoke, the more confused he became.

“That’s right, I’m Duan Ling Tian, the son of Duan Ru Feng, the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion!” As Duan Ling Tian spoke, the muscles on his face began to shift before it changed into his original appearance. It was a different but still handsome face.

“It’s really you!” Gu Li could not help but stare when he saw Duan Ling Tian’s real appearance.

The appearance of the person standing in front of him was identical to the portrait he had seen.

The person on that portrait was Duan Ling Tian. He was the lucky guy who possessed a Super Saint Weapon, the Devilseal Tablet.

“When news of you possessing the Devilseal Tablet spread out, it seemed like you have completely vanished off the face of the earth. I thought you’ve been killed by someone… I didn’t expect you’d disguise yourself as Li Feng, causing a commotion in the Rising Sky Mansion’s district before disguising yourself as Ling Tian to join the Mystical Sky Mansion,” Gu Li said with a bitter smile on his face. He did not expect his junior brother was the lucky guy who possessed the Devilseal Tablet.

“However, aren’t you afraid I’ll expose your true identity to the others? You should know that once your identity is exposed, it would be impossible for you to walk out of the Mystical Sky Mansion alive.” Gu Li’s expression turned solemn in just a blink of an eye.

“Will you?” Duan Ling Tian asked in return with a smile. He did not seem worried at all.

“I won’t.” When he answered Duan Ling Tian’s question, Gu Li had a smile on his face as well. Naturally, he was not the kind of person who would betray his friend.

Put aside the fact that Duan Ling Tian only had one Super Saint Weapon, even if he had a hundred or a thousand Super Saint Weapons, he still would not betray him.

“However… Junior Brother Ling Tian, are you really the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?” Gu Li asked solemnly as the smile on his face faded while he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

“Yes!” Duan Ling Tian nodded with certainty.
