Chapter 3371: The Cold Drizzle Sect

“Within three days?” Initially, Feng Tian Wu was not sure when the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect would. After listening to Yu Wen Qing’s message, she finally realized the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect would act within three days to force the marriage. She had no doubt the Cloud Drizzle Sect and their ruthless will wreak havoc on the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect once they discovered Si Ling had run away.

Initially, Feng Tian Wu planned to ask for help from the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven, and if she failed, she planned to send Si Ling somewhere safe before she returned to the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect. However, she began to rethink her plan after receiving Yu Wen Qing’s message. She knew Yu Wen Qing was right; she would only die in vain if she returned. It was best for her and Si Ling to grow stronger until they’re able to exact revenge on the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect for the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect’s sake! Since she and Si Ling had become Celestial Kings before the age of 300 and at the age of 300 respectively, there was a good chance they would become a Celestial Emperor in a few thousand years.

‘Master… Senior sister…’ Feng Tian Wu could not help but tear up. However, she quickly suppressed her emotions to avoid arousing Si Ling’s suspicion.

Even then, Duan Si Ling noticed something was amiss. “Aunt Wu, is everything really going to be alright?”

In the beginning, Duan Si Ling believed the Grand Elder’s words. However, after mulling over it, she felt something was amiss. Would the Grand Elder’s friends show up to help the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect?

“Si Ling, don’t worry.” Feng Tian Wu was well aware of Duan Si Ling’s character. If Duan Si Ling learned of the truth, she would definitely return to the sect immediately. As she tried to placate Duan Si Ling, she could not help but thought to herself, ‘Brother Ling Tian, your daughter is really kind. Where are you now? Are you in the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven?’

After a moment, Feng Tian Wu said to Duan Si Ling, “Si Ling, let’s not waste time and make our way to the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven… Now that 100 years have pa.s.sed, perhaps, your father is now in the Heavenly Palace…”

“Father…” Duan Si Ling fell into a daze for a moment. She could still remember her father’s face after so many years had pa.s.sed. After a while, she nodded and muttered to herself confidently, “We won’t have to be afraid of the Cloud Drizzle Sect as long as father is there!”

Feng Tian Wu could not help but smile bitterly upon hearing Duan Si Ling’s words. Although she had faith in Duan Ling Tian, would he still be as strong in the Devata Realm as he was in the mundane realm?

After all, Feng Tian Wu and Duan Si Ling only progressed so far because they had absorbed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Divine Offering Land. Therefore, she thought it was likely that Duan Ling Tian was weaker than them unless he had some fortuitous encounter.

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

The wind howled as Feng Tian Wu and Duan Si Ling sped toward the Heavenly Palace of the Solitary Destructive Heaven. Since she had followed You Bai Feng to the Heavenly Palace 100 years ago, she was familiar with the way there.

‘I hope Brother Ling Tian is there. Even if he isn’t, I hope Senior Feng Qing Yang is there and is willing to help us…’ Feng Tian Wu prayed in her heart. Naturally, she was also prepared for the worst.

…

As a second-grade sect, although the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect did not have any t.i.tled Celestial Emperors, they had many ordinary Celestial Emperors and dominated the borders. The sect’s estate was located in a valley where the flowers and plants flourished and birds chirped in the air. In a serene courtyard located at the middle of the mountain, an old man with grey hair who was dressed in a grey robe sat in front of a table as he muttered, “It’s really unexpected that someone from a puny sect like the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect has comprehended the law of time… The law of time is one of the few Supreme Laws that are difficult to comprehend.”

“That’s why I want to marry her.” An ordinary young man dressed in fine robes stood across from the old man. If it were not for his narrow eyes, he might have been considered good-looking. He was none other than Lan Ji Nian, the Young Master of the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect.

In the Cloud Drizzle Sect, the position of Sect Master was not inherited through bloodline. The grey-clad old man, the former Sect Leader, had a son Lan Kong Xuan, who was far more outstanding than his peers so it was only natural that he was selected to be the current Sect Leader of the Cloud Drizzle Sect.

Alas, Lan Ji Nian did not seem to inherit his family’s talent. He paled in comparison to the previous generation in his family and was not particularly outstanding. Since there were too many people who were more outstanding than him in his generation, it was impossible for him to become the next Sect Leader of the Cloud Drizzle Sect. For this reason, both the former and current Sect Leaders of the Cloud Drizzle Sect, Lan Ji Nian’s grandfather and father, hoped to find an outstanding and talented wife for Lan Ji Nian.

They had been searching for the best candidate for a while now. The female prodigies from the second and third-grade forces disdained Lan Ji Nian and would never think twice about marrying Lan Ji Nian. As for candidates from fourth-grade forces, it was difficult to find someone who fit their criteria.

However, the female disciple from the fourth-grade Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect was different. They did not care that she was the disciple of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect since the sect was just a mere fourth-grade sect. What they cared about was her innate talent and comprehension skill. She had not reached 300 years old, and she was already a Celestial King. Such a person would definitely become a Celestial Emperor. Apart from that, she comprehended the law of time, one of the Four Supreme Laws.

Rumor had it that if either a husband or wife comprehended the law of time, there was a 50% chance their offspring would inherently comprehend the law of time as well.

For all these reasons, Lan Ji Nian, his father, his grandfather thought Duan Si Ling was the perfect candidate.

However, although Lan Kong Xuan, the Sect Leader of the Cold Drizzle Sect, was not weak, he did not think it was appropriate for him to go to the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect to force a marriage. What would others say about a second-grade forcing a fourth-grade force against their will?

Lan Heng, the old man, laughed as he said, “Nian’er, rest a.s.sured. I’ll accompany you to the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect and make sure that girl marries you. Prepare the betrothal gifts in these two days. She’s just from a mere fourth-grade sect. Just prepare some useless things…” His lips curled into a disdainful smile at the end of his words.

In Lan Heng’s opinion, the fourth-grade force should feel honored that his grandson was even willing to marry their member. How could they be worthy of receiving valuable betrothal gifts?

Lan Ji Nian asked worriedly, “Grandfather, what if the Sect Leader of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect refuses? When my father proposed the marriage, she chased him out of the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect.”

Lan Heng scoffed before he said disdainfully, “Your father is good at everything but he worries too much. If a mere fourth-grade force refuses to cooperate, then just annihilate them! I’ll accompany you to the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect. If the girl refuses the marriage, I’ll kill her and annihilate the sect…”

Lan Heng was domineering not without a reason. He was after all the strongest Celestial Emperor in the Cold Drizzle Sect. Although he was nowhere close to a t.i.tled Celestial Emperor, he was unrivaled in his territory. He could easily annihilate a fourth-grade force if he so wished.

“Thank you, grandfather,” Lan Ji Nian replied excitedly. A hint of l.u.s.t could be seen flas.h.i.+ng in the depths of his eyes. Although he only met Duan Si Ling once, her beauty had long been imprinted in his mind. Apart from being a beauty, she was also highly talented and had comprehended one of the Four Supreme Laws. There was no one more suitable for him than her.

‘Even if I can’t become the next Sect Leader of the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect, n.o.body will dare provoke me if she becomes my wife. With her innate talents, it’s only a matter of time before she becomes a Celestial Emperor! Most importantly… She’s also a beauty.’

In Lan Ji Nian’s mind, he was already thinking about his wedding night. He could hardly contain his excitement when he imagined that beauty begging for mercy.

…

Two days later, a group of people left the Cold Drizzle Celestial Sect’s estate and headed to the Cloudy Sunbow Sword Sect. Three men were in the lead, and all of them were riding on a majestic white leopard. The three people were Lan Heng, the former Sect Master of the Cold Drizzle Sect, Lan Ji Nian, and an expressionless middle-aged man who carried a long blade.
