The two Dark Nether Sect’s disciples were responsible for monitoring the slaves mining in the Saint Stone reserve. They chatted as though there was no one in their surroundings. However, their idle chat had been overheard by Feng Wu Dao and the others, shocking them.
Duan Ling Tian?
Young talent?
The Interim Advisor of Situ Clan?
For a moment, Feng Wu Dao and the others exchanged a look with one another before they began transmitting their voices.
“Do you think it’s… Ling Tian boy?” Feng Wu Dao was the first one to ask.
“It could be.” Sima nodded.
“It should be Young Master… However, how did the Young Master become the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan?” Xiong Quan was confused.
“Perhaps it’s just someone with the same name…” Chen Shao Shuai said. He did not have high hopes.
After all, although Duan Ling Tian’s innate talent and strength were so far ahead he could not even catch up, he was still far from being qualified to become the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan in the capital.
The capital’s Situ Clan was a powerful seventh-rate clan that was even more powerful than the current Dark Nether Sect. It was not easy to become an Interim Advisor of the Situ Clan.
“It’s possible it’s someone with the same name.” Nangong Yi nodded. He was as calm as Chen Shao Shuai.
“Young talent, Duan Ling Tian… Maybe they’re the same person,” Nangong Chen chimed in.
As Feng Wu Dao and the others’ minds were about to wander, one of the two Dark Nether Sect’s disciples who pa.s.sed by snarled angrily. “Hey, what are you guys doing? Trying to slack off?” With just a lift of his hand, his whip landed sharply on Chen Shao Shuai’s face, leaving a purplish-black mark on his face as blood began to stream out of it. The sudden whip also caused him to stagger and almost fall to the ground. The sudden and sharp pain caused him to grunt when he regained his senses. He instantly glared at the Dark Nether Sect’s disciple who whipped him.
From the Mortal Continent to the Dao Martial Saint Land, since when had he ever suffered such humiliation before?
“What? Do you want to hit me back?” Upon seeing the anger in Chen Shao Shuai’s eyes, that Dark Nether Sect’s disciple laughed instead. He raised the whip in his hand, intending to whip Chen Shao Shuai another time.
Chen Shao Shuai’s face turned grave. He wanted to retaliate. At this moment, he no longer cared if he could defeat the other party or not. Perhaps, his current strength was inferior to the other party but that did not mean he did not have any pride.
However, before Chen Shao Shuai made his move, Feng Wu Dao and the others had tacitly blocked him as they glared coldly at the Dark Nether Sect’s disciple who raised his whip.
“What? Are all of you seeking death?” This was the first time the Dark Nether Sect’s disciple saw slaves that were so bold. His eyes gleamed with killing intent. He wanted to kill them immediately.
The other Dark Nether Sect’s disciple blocked his companion and reminded him using Voice Transmission, “They have a close relations.h.i.+p with that new Three Star Saint Inscription Master in our sect. Vice Sect Leader Tan personally pa.s.sed down an order to let them work, but we’re not allowed to harm or kill them.”
“They’re the group of people who were caught together with that Three Star Saint Inscription Master?” Upon hearing that, the latter frowned immediately.
He had also heard there were a few people among the new slaves who were untouchable, at most they could only teach them a small lesson. If they were heavily injured or killed, those people who were in charge of monitoring the slaves would be doomed.
However, it did not cross his mind that those untouchable people were this group of people who were rude to him.
Although he could still teach this group of people a tiny lesson, it was apparent this group of people were ready to go all out against him. He instantly dismissed the thought of teaching them a lesson.
If these people went all out with him, he might accidentally kill them.
He did not care about these people’s lives. However, he had no other choice but to follow the order that their Vice Sect Leader had personally given out. He shuddered just thinking about the consequences if he disobeyed his Vice Sect Leader. He did not dare to test his Vice Sect Leader’s patience.
“Hurmph!” The Dark Nether Sect’s disciple snorted coldly before he lowered the whip. He looked at Chen Shao Shuai murderously before he left with his companion.
At the same time, there was envy in the eyes of the other slaves nearby when they looked at Feng Wu Dao and the others.
Although Feng Wu Dao and the others were slaves as well, the treatment they received was much better than theirs. At the very least, they would not lose their lives. They had no idea why the Dark Nether Sect’s disciples would be so lenient toward that group of people.
Feng Wu Dao and the others resumed their conversation when they saw the two Dark Nether Sect’s disciples had left.
“We should double confirm if that person is Duan Ling Tian or not… If he is, then it won’t be difficult for us to get out of this h.e.l.l hole with the Situ Clan’s influential force. I really don’t want to stay in his h.e.l.lhole any longer,” Nangong Yi said.
Although their lives were safe thanks to Bai Li Hong, everybody still agreed with him.
“The biggest problem now is we have no way at all to contact that Duan Ling Tian in Situ Clan… We’re the slaves of Dark Nether Sect now, and it’s basically impossible for us to leave,” Sima said.
“Yes, this is a problem.” Gold Thug nodded. “Even if Master is really in the Situ Clan, we still have no way to leave this place if he doesn’t know we’re here.”
“All of you seem to have forgotten about something.” At this moment, Feng Wu Dao finally spoke. His eyes looked wise as though he could see through everything. His words had successfully attracted Sima and the attention of others.
Under the gaze of the few people, Feng Wu Dao continued to say in one breath, “Put aside the fact if the Situ Clan’s Duan Ling Tian in the capital is the Little Tian we know or not, since his name has spread all the way here, I’m sure it must have reached Elder Bai Li’s ears too. Based on how wise Elder Bai Li is, I’m sure he’ll find a way to find out if that Duan Ling Tian from Situ Clan is the boy we know. If he’s really our Ling Tian boy, regardless of how he became the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, I’m sure it won’t be difficult for him bring us and Elder Bai Li away from this place if he asks for help from the Situ Clan.”
The moment his words left his mouth, Sima and the others’ eyes lit up immediately.
“Why didn’t I think of this?!” Nangong Yi smiled wryly.
“As the saying goes, ‘Worrying will only result in chaos’. I’ve only thought about this. However, I’m certain Elder Bai Li would have already heard about Interim Advisor Duan Ling Tian of Situ Clan if we’re also able to hear about him,” Feng Wu Dao added.
True to his words, Bai Li Hong had already heard the news about Interim Advisor Duan Ling Tian of Situ Clan.
As a Three Star Saint Inscription Master, although he was under house arrest by the Dark Nether Sect, his life was still much better than Feng Wu Dao and the others.
Naturally, he could leave any time he wanted with his current strength unless a Saint Stage powerhouse was keeping watch on him.
