Chapter 1881: Information About Ke'erTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Duan Ling Tian was able to transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, it did not mean that Xie Zong was afraid of him. He was only afraid of the Nine-clawed Divine Dragon supporting him.

Not only that, in Xie Zong's eyes, Duan Ling Tian was just like an ant even if he was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!

In the history of Dao Martial Saint Land, there were many Seven-clawed Dragon Warriors and Eight-clawed Dragon Warriors that accomplished nothing. This was because being granted the ability to transform into a Dragon Warrior did not mean it would raise one's innate talent. They would still have to rely on themselves in regards to innate talent. The ability to transform into a Dragon Warrior would only grant them greater combat ability.

Take Duan Ling Tian for example. Although his strength was on par with a Divine Saint Stage powerhouse, it was impossible for him to fight a Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouse even if he could transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior and use all the techniques in his arsenal. Needless to say, it was completely impossible for him to fight Xie Zong who had already entered the Saint Celestial Stage.

In Xie Zong's opinion, Duan Ling Tian's innate talent in the Lower Province could be considered as not too bad, but it really did not amount to much.

Although there were not many young powerhouses in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land with high innate talent like Duan Ling Tian, they were not rare. Moreover, he was at the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage when he was Duan Ling Tian's age. Due to this reason, he did not think Duan Ling Tian would ever be able to catch up to him, let alone surpass him.

Since he could not chase up to him, naturally, he did not worry about it as well. He knew this very well when he spared Duan Ling Tian's life.

If he had thought Duan Ling Tian had the potential to catch up to him, he would not have shown any mercy and would have killed Duan Ling Tian even if meant risking the wrath of a Nine-clawed Divine Dragon.

One could say that it was because Xie Zong had underestimated Duan Ling Tian's innate talent that Duan Ling Tian was able to live.

"This is the Crouching Dragon Lake. The Azure Cloud Mansion's estate is inside." Ten days later, when Duan Ling Tian's family of three, Bai Li Hong, and the others arrived outside of the Azure Cloud Mansion's estate where the Crouching Dragon Lake could be seen, Duan Ling Tian explained this to Bai Li Hong and the others.

"Azure Cloud Mansion!" Whether it was Bai Li Hong, Feng Wu Dao, the Nangong Twins or Chen Shao Shuai, their eyes all lit up when they heard the Azure Cloud Mansion was near.

The Azure Cloud Mansion was one of the two most powerful forces in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!

From today onward, they would become one of the members through the connections they had with Duan Ling Tian. They were all excited!

With Duan Ling Tian, the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, leading the road, it was only natural that Bai Li Hong, Feng Wu Dao, and the others could enter the Crouching Dragon Lake as though it was uncharted territory.

Before heading to the Central Main Hall of the Azure Cloud Mansion's Main Mansion, Duan Ling Tian told Li Fei who stood next to him, "Little Fei'er, bring Nian'er back first."

Li Fei nodded her head obediently before she bade farewell to the others. She brought Duan Nian Tian and left.

Inside the Central Main Hall in the Azure Cloud Mansion's Main Mansion, Bai Li Hong and the others finally met Duan Ru Feng, Duan Ling Tian's father, for the first time.

Faced with the famous Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ru Feng, apart from Xiong Quan who had been following Duan Ling Tian for a long time, everyone else felt a little awkward.

However, as the saying went, 'The love for the house would extend even to the crows that perch on its roof,' Duan Ru Feng did not put on any arrogant air when he met Bai Li Hong and the others. He was friendly and easy to approach. It slowly put Bai Li Hong and the others at ease.

In the end, they were even talking and laughing like old friends who were reunited after many years apart.

"Master Bai Li, Brother Feng, and all of you, from today onward, you can regard this place as your home! As long as you stay in the Azure Cloud Mansion, the Azure Cloud Mansion will protect you! Not only that, but we'll also provide all of you with the best cultivation environment and resources as well," Duan Ru Feng told Bai Li Hong and the others. The group of people in front of him was his son's close friends. Naturally, he, as Duan Ling Tian's father, would not be negligent in his treatment of them.

"Thank you, Mansion Master Duan." Bai Li Hong and the others immediately expressed their gratitude when they heard Duan Ru Feng's words.

"Tian'er, after you've arranged accommodations for your Senior Brother, Uncle Feng, and the others, come and look for me." When Duan Ling Tian was about to send Bai Li Hong and the others to rest, his father's voice resonated in his ears the moment he stepped out of the great door of the Central Main Hall.

His father's voice sounded a little grim.

Duan Ling Tian's heart instantly jolted as an ominous feeling rose in his heart.

Although he was curious about the reason his father asked him to come back, he put everything aside to arrange accommodations for Bai Li Hong and the others.

When Duan Ling Tian entered the Central Main Hall again, he looked at his father instantly and asked anxiously, "Father, why did you ask me to come back?"

At this moment, only father and son were left in the Central Main Hall.

"Tian'er, there's information about Ke'er and my granddaughter," Duan Ru Feng answered with a grave expression.

"Ke'er?" Upon hearing his words, Duan Ling Tian's eyes narrowed immediately. His breathing had also quickened. "Father, how is Ke'er and our daughter?"

Based on his father's words, it was clear Ke'er had given birth to a daughter for him. However, this was not important for now. What he wanted to know most was how Ke'er and his daughter were doing!

"Ke'er and your child are safe for the time being," Duan Ru Feng replied again.

"For the time being?" Duan Ling Tian frowned. "Father, what do you mean?"

Duan Ru Feng sighed. "According to the person I asked to enquire about the situation, both Ke'er and my granddaughter are imprisoned in the Enforcement Hall of the Fire Worship Sect. They're currently waiting for the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect to come out of closed-door cultivation before they decide on what to do with Ke'er and her child. Based on the current situation, it's difficult for them to survive."

"What?!" Horror dawned on Duan Ling Tian.

Ke'er and his daughter were imprisoned by the people from the Fire Worship Sect's Enforcement Hall?

Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath to calm down before he looked at Duan Ru Feng and asked, "Father, is this information reliable?"

"It 100% reliable!" Duan Ru Feng said confidently.

If this news was obtained by a Watcher, he would not have believed it 100%, but the problem was, this was information given to him by the elusive and mysterious Old Prophet.

The Old Prophet who had helped the Azure Cloud Mansion lure Elder Xie Zong from the Black Kshetra Sect away had returned to the Azure Cloud Mansion a few days after he had shaken Xie Zong off. Apart from informing him that Xie Zong had returned to the Upper Province, he had also informed him about Ke'er and her daughter's situation.

"Father, can you tell me who told you about this?" Duan Ling Tian asked.

"Tian'er, the person who told me this is the Old Prophet who's famous in the entire Upper and Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!" Duan Ru Feng replied.

"The Old Prophet?" Duan Ling Tian was astonished.

This was because he had heard about the Old Prophet and knew that he was famous in the Dao Martial Saint Land due to his fortune-telling ability. It was said that the Old Prophet's predictions were always accurate.

The people in the Dao Martial Saint Land even called him the Living Immortal!

"Father, you know the Old Prophet?" Duan Ling Tian was astonished. It did not cross his mind that his father was acquainted with the Old Prophet.

The Old Prophet was famous in the Upper Province, let alone the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

Even the leaders of the third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate forces in the Upper Province might not necessarily know him.

However, not only his father, a mere leader of a quasi third-rate force in the Lower Province, knew the Old Prophet, but they seemed to be well acquainted as well. Otherwise, why would he inform his father of this matter?

From what Duan Ling Tian had heard, the Old Prophet might not even move under the orders of leaders of first-rate forces and the three great sects.

"I became acquainted with him through an accident. After that, we've seen each other a few times so we can hardly be called acquaintances." Although Duan Ru Feng had told Duan Ling Tian about the Old Prophet, he did not tell him the reason the Old Prophet had approached was due to Duan Ling Tian himself.

This was also the instruction left behind by the Old Prophet. For the time being, he did not want Duan Ru Feng to reveal this to Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian finally understood the severity of the situation. At the same time, his expression turned grim. "Since the Old Prophet told you this, the information must be true. Father, did he say when the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect will come out of closed-door cultivation?" He asked anxiously.

"No, he didn't." Duan Ru Feng shook his head. Naturally, he also wanted to know about this. He had asked the Old Prophet about it, but the Old Prophet had said he did not know. There was nothing he could do at all.

Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath, he seemed determined as he told Duan Ru Feng, "Father, I'll leave the Azure Cloud Mansion today and head to the Upper Province!"

Initially, he had planned to leave after a short while.

However, now that he learned about the situation his fiancee and daughter was in, his heart was filled with anxiety. He was desperate to go to the Upper Province to rescue his fiancee and daughter. He would not allow anybody to hurt them!

"Be careful." Duan Ru Feng was not surprised with Duan Ling Tian's decision. He would have made the same decision if he was in his son's shoes.

If he was not the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion and had a family and a group of friends who needed his protection, he would have followed his son to the Upper Province.

"Sure." Duan Ling Tian nodded solemnly before he went to meet his mother quickly to tell her about his decision to leave the Azure Cloud Mansion today to head to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

"You're going to the Upper Province today? Tian'er, is it really that urgent?" Li Rou felt reluctant and was shocked by her son's sudden decision. "What happened?"

"Mother, there's information about Ke'er," Duan Ling Tian answered anxiously with a bitter expression on his face, "Both mother and daughter are now imprisoned in the Fire Worship Sect's Enforcement Hall. They're only waiting for the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect to come out from closed-door cultivation before they decide on what to do with them! Mother, I must rescue both of them before the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect comes out of closed-door cultivation!"

"Ke'er? Mother and daughter?" Upon hearing his words, Li Rou became emotional. Apart from having a grandson, she had a granddaughter as well?

However, when she regained her senses, Duan Ling Tian's words finally sank in. Horror dawned on her when she realized the situation Ke'er and her daughter was in.
