The War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

The inside of the car was silent.

Li Fei and Ke Er were both smart and therefore did not say a word.

Li Rou's eyes were slightly red, as she could feel her son's grudge from the way he spoke. After a long time, he sighed and said lightly, "Well, Tian, since you won't leave, then we won't do it."

“Bu, don't get upset.” Duan Ling Tian's heart ached a little when he saw his mother like this. He sat down next to her and held her hand. "I know that you want me to go acknowledge my ancestor and return to the clan for the sake of father, but why did you leave the Duan Clan all those years ago? Surely that doesn't mean that you've forgotten all that, When you're alive, everyone respects you, but once you disappear, those jealous people are the first to make trouble for you! I'm sure even if dad was still alive, he wouldn't blame us. "

Li Rou nodded, and a smile appeared on her face. "Tian, you're an adult. Mom can calm down. Mother has no other requests for the rest of my life; all I hope is to be able to see you and little Fei and Ke Er giving birth to a child together, and then I will be satisfied. "

Duan Ling Tian's heart trembled. A mother's love is as heavy as Mount Tai, and it causes her heart to ache and her eyes to become foggy.

“Bu, short break.” After taking a deep breath, Duan Ling Tian returned to the side of Ke Er and Li Fei before sighing.

He was going to the Duan Clan, but it was not to acknowledge his ancestor and return to the clan …. Instead, it was to kill that Duan Ling Xing!

Before long, the wagon arrived in front of the Imperial City, and the large wagon pulled by the three Ferghana Horses naturally attracted a lot of attention wherever it was passed.

The Imperial City encompassed a vast expanse of land, and it stood there like an enormous ferocious beast in hibernation, giving people a kind of oppressive feeling.

Circling the Imperial City was a vast moat, leaving only one stone bridge to provide access to the main gate of the city. This was precisely the only city gate in the Imperial City .. and thus there was only one method of entry and exit of this Imperial City.

As the carriage walked on the stone bridge, ferocious fish-type beasts could vaguely be seen jumping about the city's moat, revealing their fierce sharp teeth.

The density of the fish-type ferocious beasts in the city's trenches would cause anyone's scalp to numb.

It could be imagined that even if a Nascent Soul martial artist were to fall, he might still have a slim chance of survival.

As the only city gate in the Imperial City, it was extremely large and entirely made of Fine Steel. It was over tens of meters tall, and on both sides of the city gates were mighty soldiers wearing armor. These soldiers held sharp spears in their grasp, and they parted into two squads that stood guard on either side of the city gate, not moving in the slightest.

Wherever Duan Ling Tian's carriage passed by, the crowd would move aside; even the soldiers stationed on either side of the city gate dared not approach.

The wagon pulled by the three Ferghana Horses was not a common sight even in the Imperial City, as a figure who could travel in such a wagon was rich or noble.

After entering the Imperial City, Duan Ling Tian, Ke Er, and Li Fei carefully sized up the Imperial City through their carriage windows.

On both sides of the wide street were many shops and restaurants, and the area was very crowded.

Li Fei faintly sighed. "Aurora City can only be considered a small, rural town compared to the Imperial City."

Duan Ling Tian strongly agreed with Li Fei's sentiment.

Aurora City was truly incomparable to the Imperial City.

Meanwhile, Xiong Quan's voice sounded. "My friend, the Imperial City of Crimson Sky Kingdom is divided into the outermost city and the deepest city. We are currently only in the outer city."

"Out of town?" Duan Ling Tian was shocked. Such a flourishing place was only a city outside the Imperial City?

“Sir, look, the city center is in front.” The wagon traveled for about half an hour before Xiong Quan's voice sounded once more.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian glanced over to see that at the end of the road, there was a city within the city standing there. This inner city seemed to be no different from the outer city.

If there really was a difference, then the occupied area was smaller than the outer city. The moats, city walls, and stone bridges, were all exactly the same as the outer city.

Currently, the city gate of the city center was tightly sealed, and the stone bridge was without people.

“This inner city is actually not open.” Duan Ling Tian's brows were slightly intertwined.

"This may be a time limit," Xiong Quan said.

"Xiong Quan, you seem to be familiar with the Imperial City. You've been here before?" Duan Ling Tian asked, as from Xiong Quan's previous introductions, he had noticed that Xiong Quan seemed to be very familiar with the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Imperial City.

“I came here once,” Xiong Quan sighed. He seemed to remember past events.

At that moment, he was acting on his status as the Borderless Sect Guard, and he passed through here while leading some disciples to run some errands.

Now that he remembered it, he could only sigh …

"Let's find an inn outside the city to stay at first," Duan Ling Tian ordered.

"Yes," Xiong Quan replied respectfully, before looking for a slightly luxurious inn to live in.

The inn manager personally came out to greet them, when a wagon pulled by the three Ferghana Horses caused him to tremble in fear. He was very afraid of disturbing the honored guest.

Duan Ling Tian arrived in front of Li Rou's room door and quietly said, "Mom, let's find something to eat."

"Mom is not hungry and wants to rest. Please .. Hmm, remember to bring Xiong Quan, because the Imperial City is full of powerhouses. Make sure not to cause trouble of your own accord." Li Rou's voice rang out, and she did not forget to warn Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian acknowledged it before leaving the inn with Ke Er and Li Fei. Xiong Quan followed.

Duan Ling Tian looked for a nearby restaurant that looked good before walking with large strides. This restaurant is a multi-storey pavilion divided into three floors. The environment of the first floor was filled with flora and fauna that were very pleasing to the eyes, and therefore lunchtime, the first floor was already full of people and busy with activities.

“Guests, please come here.” Before long, a female attendant greeted Duan Ling Tian's group and led them to a nearby table.

"Bring me a plate of all the special dishes in your restaurant, and a bottle of wine," Duan Ling Tian ordered.

“Ya.” The female attendant nodded respectfully before turning around and leaving.

Soon, good wine and delicious food were put on the table …

"This restaurant is really special," Li Fei smiled lightly. They could barely hear a loud noise from the first floor while sitting on this second floor, and everything seemed so calm and peaceful.

A small portion of the surrounding customers were discussing personal matters, whereas most were discussing the Paladin Academy.

"I wonder if the Paladin Academy will accept another genius student like Xu Qing this year."

"Really joking, that Xu Qing is a rare genius martial artist, and in the entire history of our Crimson Sky Kingdom Paladin Academy, it is a very rare genius, only one person from 20 years ago could compare to him."

"Who?"

"Of course it's the Duan Ru Feng Clan the Duan!"

"Who is Duan Ru Feng?"

"You really don't even know Duan Ru Feng? He is the peerless genius of our Crimson Sky Kingdom from over 20 years ago and is a direct descendant of the Duan Clan."

"I've never actually heard of it."

"That's normal, because he disappeared 15 years ago. If he doesn't disappear, the number one person in our Crimson Sky Kingdom might not be a figure from the Imperial Family."

"Shhh! Softer! Are you looking for death? Is that figure of the Imperial Family someone you can talk about wildly?"

. . .

Duan Ling Tian's eyes narrowed when he heard the discussion from a nearby table. Duan Ru Feng was precisely his father this entire life!

"I never imagined that there were still people who remembered my dead father," thought Duan Ling Tian in his heart, as he was slightly surprised.

"Hmph! Duan Ru Feng was only a short-lived man!" Right at this moment, a cold and indifferent voice sounded from the stairs.

A red-clothed girl of about 19 walked to the second floor, and behind her followed an old woman. The old man propped up his body with a cane, but his eyes were brilliant like a row of stars, clearly because he had a high cultivation level.

"Little girl, you're too presumptuous! Do you dare say that if Duan Ru Feng was around?" The face of the middle-aged man who adored Duan Ru Feng sank.

"Slap her face!" The cold voice of the red-clothed girl sounded. It is not known who he was talking to.

Instantly, the old woman behind him moved as if she had turned into a gust of wind and flashed towards the middle-aged man!

On top of the old woman, dozens of condensed ancient mammoth silhouettes became vanishing before disappearing in the next second.

Slap on!

A clear voice echoed as the old woman returned to the red-clothed girl. Half of the middle-aged man's face swelled up, and his expression was extremely unsightly, but even though he was furious, he did not dare to say anything, because the old woman's strength was far above his face.

For a moment, the entire second floor was silent.

"So arrogant!" Duan Ling Tian's eyes narrowed as a cold light flickered within …

Even though he had no feelings towards his helpless father, he was still his father, and now that someone insulted him, Duan Ling Tian could not help but anger arose in his heart.

"A joke! A short-lived man deserves your adoration." The red-clothed girl's cold gaze descended upon the group of people who were discussing earlier, causing them to hurriedly lower their heads and not dare to say a word.

Li Fei obviously hated the actions of the red-clothed girl, so she coldly snorted, "Hmph! Nowadays, people can't even speak the truth. Would you dare insult him if he was still alive?"

The gaze of the red-clothed girl descended on Li Fei as she sneered, "The strange person covered in a veil deserves to talk to this Young Miss? I'll give you a chance: slap yourself 30 times, or bear the consequences!"

"Any?" Li Fei was in a daze for a moment before grinning, "You are really thinking about yourself. With this kind of attitude, even if you turn yourself in to a roadside beggar, they might not even want to marry you, right?"

Duan Ling Tian could not help but laugh.

This girl's mouth is truly unforgiving …

"You're looking to die!" The eyes of the red-clothed girl shone with a cold light. His hands trembled and were suffused with Origin Energy before sweeping out with a black whip, bringing a strong wind and a series of shadows towards Li Fei.

On it, six gigantic silhouettes condensed into forms .. The fourth level of the Core Formation Stage!

Just when everyone thought Li Fei would suffer a loss, Duan Ling Tian moved.

Whooshing sound!

Duan Ling Tian hugged Li Fei and dodged the attack of the red-clothed girl right when Li Fei's eyes became a little cold and he was about to attack. And the cold gaze of Duan Ling Tian descended on the red-clothed girl. "So only you can mock others but no one else can mock you? If you can't win a fight, you become angry out of embarrassment and use violence .. You, you don't think you're too far away? "
