"No, I don't." Duan Ling Tian shook his head. "I've only heard about him after I came to Windfall Nation. I know he's the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking, and he's a lineal disciple of the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion's Lin Clan. Moreover, he's also widely acknowledged as the strongest powerhouse below the Saint Stage by the people of Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion. Clan Leader Situ, why do you ask?" Duan Ling Tian was puzzled.
"T-This is weird." Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words and seeing the confused expression on his face, Situ Hao was baffled.
"Father, what's going on?" Situ Hang asked.
Situ Hao looked at Duan Ling Tian as he said, "King Qian's estate just released news that the battle tomorrow between Master Duan and Lin Dong will be a Death Duel!"
Death Duel!
Situ Hang's expression turned grave immediately. "Lin Dong wants to kill Master Duan?!"
The Death Duel was a battle between life and death!
Once both of them start the battle, none of them was allowed to stop until one of them died.
"Death Duel?" Upon hearing Situ Hao's words, Duan Ling Tian's eyes narrowed immediately as his eyes shone coldly.
This news shocked him as well.
"Since you don't know Lin Dong, there's only one possibility left — Someone from King Qian's estate wants to kill you or King Qian himself wants to kill you!" As the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, Situ Hao was, naturally, quick-witted. He quickly discovered this point.
"But why does King Qian wants you dead?" However, Situ Hao was baffled by this.
Situ Hang had a perplexed expression on his face as well.
Duan Ling Tian remained calm as though he was not baffled by this matter at all.
Naturally, it was not difficult for him to guess King Qian's motive. King Qian had to be aiming for the Devilseal Tablet in his possession. 'He didn't spare any effort and actually invited the strongest person on the Heaven Ranking from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion to kill me just for the sake of the Devilseal Tablet… It seems like King Qian is really determined.'
"I know why." At this moment, a familiar voice resonated from outside. Along with the voice, Situ Hou, the Supreme Elder of Situ Clan, appeared and walked into the courtyard.
"Grandpa Hou, you know why King Qian wants to kill Master Duan?" Situ Hang's eyes lit up immediately.
Situ Hao and Duan Ling Tian instantly shifted their attention to Situ Hou.
Situ Hao had a curious expression on his face.
On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian frowned. He was stunned. 'Don't tell me the news about the Devilseal Tablet being in my possession has been leaked that even the Supreme Elder of the clan knows about it?"
However, the moment Situ Hou opened his mouth, Duan Ling Tian discovered he had been thinking too much.
However, he did not expect there would be something so coincidental in this world.
According to Situ Hou, the reason King Qian wanted to kill him was to repay the debt he had owed a servant who had saved his life many years ago.
That servant had long left King Qian's estate and formed a group of bandit by the southern frontier of Windfall Nation. As the leader, he led a life of leisure.
However, just half a year ago, his third brother was killed by a mysterious powerhouse.
He had brought the mysterious powerhouse's portrait from thousands and thousands of miles away to the capital of Windfall Nation to claim the promise King Qian had given him many years ago. King Qian had promised him a favor as long as it was within his power to do so.
The servant had asked King Qian to kill the mysterious powerhouse in the portrait, and the man in the portrait happened to be Duan Ling Tian.
"It's him." When Situ Hou finished recounting what he knew, Duan Ling Tian finally recalled the encounter when he first arrived in Windfall Nation.
At that time, the third chief of the bandits wanted to kill him after he blackmailed a village. However, he was killed by Duan Ling Tian in the end.
At that time, he did not bother destroying the evidence. The group of bandit's strength was equivalent to the strength of an eighth-rate force, they would not pose a threat to him at all even if they attacked him with all of their might.
'I can't believe the great chief of the bandits has some connection to the Fourth Prince of Windfall Nation's Imperial Family,' Duan Ling Tian mused to himself, 'Looks like I shouldn't look down on people in the future.'
"I see." Upon hearing Situ Hou's words, Situ Hao and Situ Hang finally understood.
