War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Situ Hang was rendered speechless by the scene before him.

Drift Blaze Sect’s Lady Feng, the powerhouse at the peak of the Saint Rudiment Stage who was ranked 23rd in the Heaven Ranking, widely acknowledged as the strongest person among the younger generation in Windfall Nation, actually threw herself into the Interim Advisor of their Situ Clan, Master Duan’s arms!

Dear Lord! Could somebody tell him what was going on?

‘In terms of handsomeness, well, although I’m slightly lacking compared to Master Duan, I’m not that bad,’ Situ Hang complained inwardly.

Naturally, he did not voice this out. In fact, he could see their Situ Clan’s Interim Advisor, Master Duan, and Lady Feng of Drift Blaze Sect must have known each other prior to this. Otherwise, why would an elite person like Lady Feng abruptly remove her veil and lose her cool?

“Tian Wu.” Under the piercing eyes, Duan Ling Tian only had eyes for Feng Tian Wu. He reached out and hugged Feng Tian Wu who was in his arms. At this moment, his heart calmed down as though he had found his sanctuary.

At this instant, Duan Ling Tian had to admit Feng Tian Wu indeed was in his heart. Perhaps, he did not feel this way initially. However, Feng Tian Wu had willingly sacrificed her life for him, and that had moved him!

As the saying went, ‘Men are not made from plants, how could they be completely free of emotions!’

At the end, when Feng Tian Wu had vanished, he had blamed himself and tried to get her back using every possible method.

Part of the reason he came to the Dao Martial Saint Land was to search for Feng Tian Wu. However, his search always came up with nothing.

It did not cross his mind that coming to Windfall Nation on a whim would allow him to meet Feng Tian Wu whom his senior brother, Bai Li Hong, had not even found yet. Moreover, he did not expect Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect whose name had spread in the entire Windfall Nation and Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion was actually Feng Tian Wu!

Earlier, when Feng Tian Wu had just made her appearance and had yet to remove her veil, he could already tell it was her with just a glance.

At that moment, Feng Tian Wu was completely identical to the Feng Tian Wu he met for the first time at Phoenix Nest City.

“Big Brother Duan.” Feng Tian Wu hugged Duan Ling Tian tightly as though she feared he would run away. She did not care about the shocked gazes and eyes that were filled with disbelief at all.

At this instant, it seemed as though DUan Ling Tian was the only one who existed in her world.

Two streaks of tears were streaming down her delicate face. Those were tears filled with emotions.

Soon after, many of the male disciples in Drift Blaze Sect regained their senses and said snappily, “What the hell?! What’s going on?! My goddess actually threw herself into that Situ Clan’s Interim Advisor, Duan Ling Tian’s arms!” They were green with envy when they looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was as though they wanted to kill him so they could take his place.

The group of Drift Blaze Sect’s elders was also stunned. Lady Feng from their Drift Blaze Sect had an icy temperament. Apart from the Sect Leader, she had never taken the initiative to speak to anyone else.

However, today, in the face of the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Master Duan, who came to challenge her, not only did she take the initiative to speak, but she even threw herself into his arms like a love-struck girl who had just seen the man of her dream.

“He’s the man in Tian Wu’s heart?” Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, frowned. Her disciple kept insisting on returning to Cloud Continent, and she had even caught her smiling to herself in a daze a few times. As someone who had experienced this, she knew her disciple was thinking of a man. She had suspected the man was from Cloud Continent.

Zi Yun did not intervene because she knew love could not be forced. Since her disciple had already fallen for someone, their Master-Disciple relationship might be affected if she had insisted on meddling. Moreover, she believed the man her disciple had fallen for would be an outstanding man even though he was from the Mortal Continent.

However, it did not cross her mind the man her disciple always dreamed about would turn out to be the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Master Duan. “This is too coincidental! Looking at them, it’s obvious both of them didn’t know both of them are at the same place prior to this… Previously, I really don’t believe in fate. However, I don’t have a choice but to believe it now.”

Fate was intangible, but it was real.

Take Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu, for example. Although both of them were in the Dao Martial Saint Land, the fact that both of them met here was no doubt fate’s work considering how big the Dao Martial Saint Land was.

“This…” When the people from various forces who had intentionally come to the Drift Blaze Sect to watch a battle saw this scene, they all looked at each other, confused.

“What’s going on?” They were completely stunned. What was actually going on with the scene before their eyes?

Lady Feng, Drift Blaze Sect’s disciple, someone who was ranked 23rd in the Heaven Ranking and was widely acknowledged as the strongest powerhouse among the younger generation in Windfall Nation actually knew the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Master Duan, who had come to challenger her? Moreover, their relationship did not seem simple.

The people from the various sects muttered, “Judging by the way they’re looking at each other emotionally, it seems likes they’re a couple who has been separated for a long time. Don’t tell me both of them were not aware that the other party is going to be here?”

“If that’s the case, isn’t it too coincidental? How can it be?” Many people exclaimed out loud.

“I’m afraid the battle today will end earlier than scheduled. These two are a couple. How are they going to fight each other?” Many people even shook their heads sympathetically.

Duan Ling Tian and Feng Tian Wu finally regained their senses. After they separated from their embrace, they asked simultaneously as they looked at each other.

“Tian Wu, why are you here?”

“Big Brother Duan, why are you here?”

They were momentarily stunned before they chuckled as they stared at each other. Feng Tian Wu whose face could topple a nation was blushing. It was similar to a ripe red apple. It was so red it made people want to take a bite of her cheeks.

At the same time, Feng Tian Wu who finally regained her senses heard the discussion in the surrounding.

She could not help but look at Duan Ling Tian in surprise. “Big Brother Duan, y-you’re that Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Master Duan?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded before smiling wryly. “I didn’t expect you’re that Lady Feng from Drift Blaze Sect, Tian Wu… If it wasn’t because I couldn’t find you no matter how I searched for you, I would probably be thinking how small this world is.”

Feng Tian Wu’s heart was filled with happiness when she heard his words. As it turned out, her Big Brother Duan had always been searching for her.

Feng Tian Wu had already noticed the gazes that were filled with shock and disbelief, but she ignored all of them. In her opinion, other people’s opinions were not important. She did not need their approval to do what she wanted to do.

At this moment, under everyone’s gaze, Feng Tian Wu flew to Zi Yun, the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, and said apologetically, “Master, I want to concede defeat for this battle.”

Concede defeat!

Feng Tian Wu did not deliberately lower her voice so it was heard by everyone present on the scene.

Majority of the people were not surprised, they were already mentally prepared for this. Even so, the crowd broke into an uproar. These people were mostly young men. They were either male disciples from Drift Blaze Sect who admired her or men from other sects who had fallen for her.

Suddenly, a voice resonated and elicited great laughter from many people. “I can’t believe the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan is a man who lives off a woman.”

The owner of the voice was none other than Old Man Yin from the Skywreck Sect. Naturally, he would not miss the opportunity to strike at Duan Ling Tian.

“Tian Wu, I respect your decision.” Although Zi Yun felt slightly unhappy since Feng Tian Wu conceding defeat would more or less affect the Drift Blaze Sect, she knew this matter could not be forced so she respected Feng Tian Wu’s decision and did not meddle.

The commotion caused by Old Man Yin’s words also made Zi Yun turn to look at Duan Ling Tian. She wanted to know what this man who was chosen by her disciple would do in this situation. The Skywreck Sect had hurt his pride as a man after all.

“Say that again!” Feng Tian Wu’s face seemed as though it was covered in a layer of frost as she stared coldly at Old Man Yin from Skywreck Sect, causing him to shudder even though it was not that cold.

Feng Tian Wu might not be as powerful as he was currently, but her innate talent was enough to make him fear her. She might not be a match for him now, but how about a few years later?

Feng Tian Wu’s progress was clearly known by all. It only took her half a year to climb up to the 23rd place in the Heaven Ranking since she entered it. The speed of her progress was so fast that it shocked everyone.

Although Feng Tian Wu had not broken through to the Saint Stage at this moment, her current strength was most likely enough for her to enter the top ten of the Heaven Ranking.

If someone like her broke through to the Saint Stage, she would most likely be powerful enough to fight him. After all, he was merely an ordinary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator. Due to this reason, he did not dare to speak any longer in the face Feng Tian Wu’s cold gaze.

In Old Man Yin’s opinion, whether it was the Sect Leader of Drift Blaze Sect, the sect, or Feng Tian Wu, he could not afford to offend any of them.

Perhaps, Feng Tian Wu might possess enough strength to crush him in another few years time.

However, Old Man Yin’s words had already changed the atmosphere of the place. More than 90% of the eyes on Duan Ling Tian contained a hint of disdain as well. It was as though they really regarded Duan Ling Tian as a pretty boy who lived off a woman.

When they saw how Feng Tian Wu had snapped at Old Man Yin, they all knew she was protecting the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Duan Ling Tian. Due to this reason, they did not dare to act recklessly.

However, they did not restrain their gazes.

They were curious how Duan Ling Tian would react under such circumstances.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Ling Tian finally stood up. After glancing at his surrounding, he looked at Feng Tian Wu again and smiled. “Tian Wu, you don’t have to concede defeat. You and I have not seen each other for so many years. Now that we finally meet, I also want to know what your cultivation base is like currently.”
