Han Xue Nai knew her master was mysterious. Moreover, her master seemed to be very strong. At the very least, she thought her master was stronger than her master. Although that was the case, she did not think her master was so strong that just her Duplicated Embodiment could easily kill Han Xin. She had thoroughly crushed him. There was no chance for him to retaliate at all from the beginning until the end.

Han Xin, the Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Manion, was a Mastery Eminent Saint Stage powerhouse after all!

“Xue Nai, asks whatever questions you have now… My Duplicated Embodiment will only last for another thirty breaths at the most,” the beautiful woman said and woke Han Xue Nai up from her daze.

Following that, she asked directly, “Master, this Duplicated Embodiment of yours… What’s it?”

“Every Dao Cultivator, as long as they’ve broken through from the Eminent Saint Stage to the Divine Stage Stage, they’ll be able to master the Duplicated Embodiment! The Duplicated Embodiment can….” the beautiful woman explained patiently in phrases that were easy to understand in the face of Han Xue Nai’s question.

“The Duplicated Embodiment is two to three stages weaker than one’s actual self?” Han Xue Nai’s eyes widened as she looked at the beautiful woman in shock after listening to her words. “Master, your Duplicated Embodiment easily killed Han Xin who was at the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage… Does this mean your cultivation base is already at the Quintessential Saint Stage?”

Quintessential Saint Stage!

Although Han Xue Nai had heard about the Quintessential Saint Stage, she still found it a little far fetched.

Supposedly, in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, even the strongest people in the quasi third-rate forces had not broken through to the Quintessential Saint Stage!

The beautiful woman smiled faintly. She did not admit nor deny it.

However, Han Xue Nai took her silence as her admittance. She voiced out the confusion in her mind. “Master, as far as I know, there are no Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouses in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, you…”

“It’s finally time for me to tell you this…” the beautiful woman interrupted Han Xue Nai and said unhurriedly, “I’m from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!”

The Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land!

Although Han Xue Nai already had an inkling of what was happening, she still could not help but feel shocked when she heard her master’s confession.

“Then, Master, are you at the Upper Province now?” Han Xue Nai asked as she took a deep breath to calm down her excitement.

“Yes.” The beautiful woman nodded and smiled. “Xue Nai, after half a year, I’ll come and bring you to the Upper Province. The cultivation environment there is way better than in the Lower Province.”

Going to the Upper Province.

Han Xue Nai was taken aback when she heard the beautiful woman’s words again.

To her, the Upper Province was undoubtedly a mysterious place. She was not surprised about the superior cultivation over there compared to the Lower Province. After all, that was where all the truly strong powerhouses in the Dao Martial Saint Land were.

In the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, the quasi third-rate forces would be able to act as they liked. However, in the Upper Province, there were more than just quasi third-rate forces. There were third-rate forces, second-rate forces, and first-rate forces.

“Master, only powerhouses above the Eminent Saint Stage can pa.s.s freely between the Upper Province and Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. With my current strength, I’m afraid I still can’t go there,” Han Xue Nai said.

If she had a choice, she would, naturally, want to go to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land with her master.

The recent events made her aware of her own weakness. If she had her master’s strength, would the Young Mansion Master of the Rising Sky Mansion dare to forcefully make her marry him?

“Silly girl, if you’re alone, naturally, you won’t be able to go to the Upper Province without having a cultivation base above the Eminent Saint Stage… However, as long as there are powerhouses above the Divine Saint Stage, they’ll be able to bring some people into the Upper Province. Certainly, the stronger one is, the more people they could bring,” the beautiful woman explained patiently as she shook her head.

“Okay! After half a year, I’ll go to the Upper Province with you, master.” Han Xue Nai was excited after learning she would be able to go to the Upper Province in half a year’s time.

After a few moments, she remembered the three little fellows. “Master, I’d like to bring Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White along… Is that possible?”

“Certainly.” The beautiful woman knew of the three fellows’ existence as well.

When the beautiful woman saw Han Xue Nai’s eyes s.h.i.+fting around as though she was thinking about something, the woman did not wait for her to voice her thoughts and immediately said, “Apart from your Brother Ling Tian, I promise to bring whoever you want to the Upper Province.”

“Why?!” Han Xue Nai did not know how her master could guess her thoughts, but she could not help but frown when she heard her master’s words.

Based on her master’s words, it seemed like her master was prejudiced against her Brother Ling Tian since she was willing to bring anyone except for Brother Ling Tian?

“Alright, I don’t have much time left… Remember my words. As for your questions, I’ll answer you in half a year’s’ time.” The minute the beautiful woman finished speaking, she disappeared without a trace. Han Xue Nai was the only person left in the large room along with Qing Nu’s corpse.

Han Xue Nai could not hide her sadness when she looked at Qing Nu’s corpse again, but she knew there was nothing she could do.

“Qing Nu, did you see that? Master has avenged you…” Han Xue Nai muttered. Without knowing when, tears began to stream down her face.

In a few days’ time, the news of the Greenwave Han Mansion’s Supreme Elder, Han Xin ‘s death spread through the entire Greenwave Han Mansion’s estate. It caused those who were on Han Xin’s side to feel restless and nervous.

Although Han Xin had died, no one was upset about it. He had brought this upon himself because he had attempted to murder the Eldest Young Miss of Greenwave Han Mansion, Han Xue Nai.

“I didn’t expect the Supreme Elder was so insane to the point that he wanted to kill the Eldest Young Miss… Fortunately Eldest Young Miss’ master appeared in time, otherwise, Eldest Young Miss would be dead!”

“True. How come I never realized how ruthless the Supreme Elder was in the past?”

“However, I wonder where did Eldest Young Miss’s master come from? She actually managed to kill the Supreme Elder who was at the Mastery Eminent Saint Stage… If she’s willing to stay in our Greenwave Han Mansion and fight for us, the Greenwave Han Mansion will be able to overpower the other fifth-rate forces even if we can’t be a fourth-rate force!”

Most people in the Greenwave Han Mansion’s estate shared the same sentiment.

Unlike Han Xin’s death that no one cared about, Qing Nu death received the highest rank burial ritual in the Greenwave Han Mansion.

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware of what had happened in the Greenwave Han Mansion since he had already left.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was back at the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion’s district. Specifically, in the Windfall Nation.

I’ve returned!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were indifferent when he looked at Windfall Nation. To the Windfall Nation’s capital, he was merely a pa.s.serby. Whereas to him, the capital of Windfall Nation was merely a pitstop in his long journey.

The reason he came back was due to his family and friends who were still here.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian had disguised himself with another face using the Disguising Secret Tactic. He was still using the name Li Feng. However, the disguise he currently had on was different from the one he used when he partic.i.p.ated in the Rising Sky Ranking Battle. He was only using an ordinary disguise now.

After entering the capital of Windfall Nation, Duan Ling Tian immediately went to the Situ Clan. Previously, before he left, he had arranged for his family and friends to stay there.

The Situ Clan did not change much even after a year.

However, Duan Ling Tian did not enter the Situ Clan through the front door. He did not even greet anyone. He had snuck in quietly like an uninvited guest. Duan Ling Tian was aware there were a lot of people who were surveilling the Situ Clan.

Nevertheless, the strongest among them was only at the peak of the Pristine Saint Stage. That was why Duan Ling Tian was not worried he would be discovered.

Duan Ling Tian, naturally, knew why those people were here. It was because of the Devilseal Tablet in his hands and also because those who were dear to him were also at the Situ Clan.

Shortly after, Duan Ling Tian arrived at the place where Bai Li Hong, Sima Chang Feng, and the others were residing.

‘Mm? Apart from Senior Brother, everyone else is here.’ Duan Ling Tian saw Feng Wu Dao, Sima Chang Feng, and the others were sitting in a circle in Bai Li Hong’s residence. However, their expressions were gloomy, and they all had a frown on their faces.

‘What’s the matter?’ Duan Ling Tian’s heart sank when he saw this.

Meanwhile, as he revealed himself, he extended his Divine Consciousness to keep an eye on the situation outside.

Feng Wu Dao and the others who were frowning seemed to have met with some trouble. n.o.body spoke for quite some time.

They only regained their senses when Duan Ling Tian revealed himself.

“Who are you?” Feng Wu Dao asked in his deep voice when he heard Duan Ling Tian.

Since Duan Ling Tian currently had a disguise on, it was only natural Feng Wu Dao and the others did not recognize him.

“Uncle Feng, it’s me.” Under the watchful eyes of Feng Wu Dao and the others, Duan Ling Tian’s face had changed completely in just an instant into his original handsome appearance.

“This…” Feng Wu Dao and the others were momentarily stunned since they had not seen such disguising techniques before. However, they quickly regained their senses after they saw Duan Ling Tian’s original appearance.

They were all surprised. When Duan Ling Tian left, they did not know when would they be able to see him again. They did not expect he would return after just a year.

Duan Ling Tian’s return was supposed to be a happy occasion, but they found it difficult to be happy when they thought of Bai Li Hong’s predicament.

“Uncle Feng, Teacher… Where’s Senior Brother?” Looking at the sour expressions on Feng Wu Dao and the others’ faces, an ominous feeling rose in his heart.

“Master Bai Li is in the Imperial Palace,” Sima Chang Feng said with a bitter smile.

“Imperial Palace?”

Duan Ling Tian frowned. “Why would Senior Brother be in the Imperial Palace? Isn’t he the Interim Advisor of the Situ Clan and a Saint Inscription Master?”

Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and asked once again as his voice turned deeper, “What happened?”
