Situ Lei, the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint

Even Tan Xiu Teng, the Green Flame Saber King, who was standing behind Meng Tian Feng, was shocked by the sudden twist of events. He assumed that Meng Tian Feng would be furious after the Wang clan rejected Meng Yu Zheng’s proposal to Wang Luo Yu. It was beyond his expectations that not only did Meng Tian Feng reprimand Meng Yu Zheng but demanded Meng Yu Zheng to apologize as well.

Everyone was shocked and confused as well.

“What’s going on?”

Even Wang Kui, the Clan Leader of the Wang clan, who was prepared to call for reinforcement when Meng Tian Feng arrived, was dumbfounded.

!!

Everyone assumed Meng Tian Feng was going to stand up for Meng Yu Zheng after the latter complained. Unexpectedly and shockingly, he ordered Meng Yu Zheng to apologize to Li Feng instead. Moreover, he even addressed Li Feng familiarly as ‘Little Li Feng’.

‘Does he know something about Young Master Li Feng’s background?’ Wang Kui wondered inwardly. This was the only explanation that made sense to him.

“Why are you still hesitating? Go and apologize now,” Meng Tian Feng said expressionlessly as he glanced at Meng Yu Zheng. Although his voice was calm, it sounded thunderous in Meng Yu Zheng’s ear, causing Meng Yu Zheng’s heart to skip a beat.

Meng Tian Feng quickly made his way over to Duan Ling Tian with a reluctant expression on his face. However, although he was reluctant and furious, he did not dare to let it show. His arrogance was gone as he said, “Li Feng, I’m sorry.”

“Young Master Meng, you don’t have to apologize. I understand. After all, who won’t be moved by a beauty?” Duan Ling Tian said casually.

Meng Yu Zheng only stared at Duan Ling Tian for a moment before he returned to stand next to Meng Tian Feng, next to Tan Xiu Teng.

Meng Tian Feng looked at Duan Ling Tian and nodded before he said with a smile, “Little Li Feng, I heard that you’re not from the Divine Sand Realm. The force that you belong to must be extraordinary.”

Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said, “Senior, you think too highly of me. The force I belong to can’t be compared to the Green Billow City’s Meng clan.”

Although Duan Ling Tian’s words were modest, they sounded different in Meng Tian Feng and Wang Kui’s ears. The duo wondered if Duan Ling Tian truly meant that his force could not compare to the Meng clan or if it was the other way around.

After a moment, Wang Kui thought to himself, puzzled, ‘Does this mean Meng Tian Feng knows nothing about Young Master Li Feng’s origins as well? Then why is he being so courteous to Young Master Li Feng? Is it due to the Wang clan’s treatment of Young Master Li Feng? However, it still doesn’t make sense for him, a supreme powerhouse, to be so courteous…’

Meng Tian Feng shook his head and said, “Little Li Feng, you’re too humble. It’s impossible that you’re not from an extraordinary force since the Wang clan has invited the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint here.”

Duan Ling Tian did not react to these words.

On the contrary, Wang Kui’s eyes widened imperceptibly as he exclaimed inwardly, ‘H-how did he know?!’

The Heaven Bearing Sword Saint was the title of the supreme powerhouse whom the Wang Kui invited over to protect the Wang clan. When the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint was still an advanced Supreme God, he was already famous in the Divine Sand Realm. Currently, people would tremble at the mention of his name because he was one of the strongest supreme powerhouses in the Divine Sand Realm. He was at least on par with Chi Ming from Chi Ming Mountain. In the Divine Sand Realm, there were two kinds of supreme powerhouses; there were supreme powerhouses like the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint and Chi Ming who were considered the strongest in the Divine Sand Realm, and there were ordinary supreme powerhouses like Meng Tian Feng and the five late supreme powerhouses of Dancing Sun City.

Meng Tian Feng’s words stirred up a commotion among the guests.

“The Heaven Bearing Sword Saint is here?!”

“I didn’t expect the Wang clan to have such a close relationship with Supreme Powerhouse Situ! I heard the rumors, but I didn’t think much of it. After all, the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint is in a different league.”

“I heard the rumors as well. It seems like the rumors are true.”

“That’s right. It’s said the Wang clan wouldn’t be able to maintain its standing if they were only allied with ordinary supreme powerhouses. At that time, rumors had it that the Wang clan had a close relationship with the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint.”

Only a few people remained calm. These people were long aware of the relationship between the Wang clan and the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint. Ye Cheng, Ye Qiang Wei’s father and an elder of the Ye clan, was among those who were aware of this matter.

Ye Cheng thought to himself, ‘I didn’t expect the Wang clan to invite Senior Situ Lei… The Wang clan must know something about that young man’s ability and background…’

After listening to the hushed conversations in his surroundings, Duan Ling Tian finally realized how formidable Situ Lei, the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint, was. Situ Lei was at least on par with Chi Ming and was a powerful supreme powerhouse in the Divine Sand Realm.

Meng Tian Feng smiled slightly and said to Wang Kui, “Clan Leader Wang, I came not only to congratulate the Wang clan on this blessed marriage, but also to meet Senior Situ. Can you please inform Senior Situ that I, Meng Tian Feng, request an audience with him? I want to seek guidance from him regarding the problems I encountered in my cultivation…”

It was a coincidence that Meng Tian Feng found out the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint was in the Wang clan. Previously, Meng Tian Feng had visited the latter’s cultivation ground but was informed that the latter was not around. It was known that the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint rarely left his cultivation ground and spent most of his time in closed-door cultivation. As such, he speculated that the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint must have gone to the Wang clan for the wedding. Based on Wang Kui’s reaction, it seemed that his speculation was right.

After a brief silence, Wang Kui said, “Senior Meng, Senior Situ agreed to meet you. Please follow me.”

Following that, Wang Kui quickly led Meng Tian Feng away.

Alas, the festive mood was ruined by Meng Tian Feng’s appearance. Normal newlyweds would have been furious at Meng Tian Feng for ruining their special day, but Duan Ling Tian and Wang Luo Yu did not seem to care at all.

On the contrary, Ye Qiang Wei did not hesitate to express her displeasure to Ye Qiang Wei. “The Meng clan’s new supreme powerhouse’s timing is really terrible. However, it’s great to see that Meng Yu Zheng’s plan was thwarted! Does he think a good-for-nothing like him is worthy of my Sister Luo Yu? He’s delusional!”

Duan Ling Tian did not respond to Ye Qiang Wei while Wang Luo Yu tried to calm Ye Qiang Wei down. At this moment, Ye Qiang Wei acted as though she was the bride, angry that her wedding was ruined.

Duan Ling Tian surveyed his surroundings before his eyes met Meng Yu Zheng’s eyes. The hatred in Meng Yu Zheng’s eyes was even more intense than before, but he was not bothered by it at all. After all, Meng Yu Zheng was no match for him at all. In fact, no one in the Meng clan, except for Meng Tian Feng, could defeat him.

Tan Xiu Teng did not follow Meng Tian Feng to meet Situ Lei and remained in the hall. At this time, he received a Voice Transmission from Meng Yu Zheng.

“Uncle Tan, from tomorrow onward, I want you to find an opportunity to kill him! I’ll lend you the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity once you bring his corpse to me! I believe you have the means to kill him!”

Flames of hatred burned high in Meng Yu Zheng’s eyes.

A hint of greed flashed in Tan Xiu Teng’s eyes when he heard Meng Yu Zheng’s Voice Transmission. However, although he coveted the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, he still remained level-headed.

‘Meng Tian Feng is right… The Wang clan wouldn’t invite the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint if Li Feng is just an ordinary person…’

Tan Xiu Teng, the Green Flame Saber King, was famous and powerful, but he was naturally nothing compared to the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint. Even before the Heaven Bearing Sword Saint became a supreme powerhouse, he was already capable of killing Tan Xiu Teng, let alone now that he was among the strongest supreme powerhouses of the Divine Sand Realm.

‘I must find out more about his origin before I make a move… Who knows if someone’s secretly protecting him in the dark? It’s impossible for a supreme powerhouse to guard him all the time, but it’s not impossible for a powerful advanced Supreme God to do so… I’ll only make a move after I confirm that he’s not protected or I can defeat the person protecting him!’
