The Upper Province of Dao Martial Saint Land was divided into the Northern Region, Southern Region, Western Region, Eastern Region, and Central Region.
The Northern Region was covered in snow all year long. Saint Stone Veins were rare, causing the cultivation environment to be terrible. It was a remote place in the middle of nowhere. Very few powerful forces were based there. Currently, the temporary estate of the Seven Absolutes Sect was located in the Northern Region.
The Southern Region was also known as the Wildlands. Based on the name, one could imagine what a lawless and intimidating place it was. Out of three great sects in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, the Heaven Divination Sect was located in the Southern Region. The Heaven Divination Sect was the religion for most people in the Southern Region similar to how the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect was the religion for most people in the Western Region.
There was no need to speak much about the Western Region.
The Eastern Region had very little Saint Stones Veins as well but it is much better compared to the Northern Region. There was a number of first-rate forces that was based there, including the dragon clan.
The Central Region was the most fertile land in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. It was rich with Saint Stone Veins and other resources. Within the Central Region, the ancient Sin City and the Black Kshetra Sect, one of the three great sects, were located there. Even the Black Kshetra Sect was wary of Sin City!
Sin City was not a force. It was merely a place where sectless cultivators gathered. However, if any forces wanted to act against Sin City, the sectless cultivators would band together to oppose them.
'Sin City… What's so special about it that so many sectless cultivators from the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land flock there?' Duan Ling Tian was intrigued with Sin City as he made his way there. How did a city attract so many sectless cultivators?
Duan Ling Tian had flown across many mountains, lakes, and deserts before he arrived in the central region of the Upper Province in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Duan Ling Tian had learned from Qiu Mu Qing that Sin City was located in the center of the central region. As soon as he arrived at the central region, he wasted no time in making his way to Sin City after he determined its direction.
Meanwhile, in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. At the Azure Cloud Mansion.
Sou!
A swift figure shot across the sky and enter the Crouching Dragon Lake that was located outside of Azure Cloud Mansion.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
…
As the figure was about the enter the Crouching Dragon Lake, the surface of the Crouching Dragon Lake lake rippled before ten figures shot out from the lake and surrounded the figure.
"Who are you? How dare you trespa.s.s into the Azure Cloud Mansion!"
The ten figures who flew out from the Crouching Dragon Lake wore black armors, looking imposing.

The person they had surrounded was a curvaceous woman dressed in a bodysuit. Apart from having an attractive body, she had a beautiful face as well. It was as though G.o.d had given her the best. She had the face of an angel and the body of a devil. These words described her perfectly.
"The Black Armored Army of Azure Cloud Mansion?" The woman muttered to herself when she found herself surrounded. Then, she said directly, "I'm w.a.n.g Fei Xuan from Mystical Sky Mansion. I'm friends with your Young Mansion Master!"
w.a.n.g Fei Xuan was one of the people whom Duan Ling Tian considered friends back when he was in Mystical Sky Mansion!
"Friends of Young Mansion Master?"
Upon hearing w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's words, the ten Black Armored Guards' gazes became less piercing. At the same time, one of them returned to the Azure Cloud Mansion to report this matter.
"w.a.n.g Fei Xuan?"
In the Main Mansion of Azure Cloud Mansion, Duan Ru Feng learned there was a girl outside who claimed to be a friend of his son. However, he had never heard of this name before. Naturally, it was impossible for him to remember all his son's friends.
"Fei'er, has Tian'er mentioned a girl named w.a.n.g Fei Xuan?"
Shortly after, Duan Ru Feng found his daughter-in-law, Li Fei. Li Fei was accompanying his wife, Li Rou, along with her son, Duan Nian Tian.
"w.a.n.g Fei Xuan? She… I think she's a friend of rascal from the Mystical Sky Mansion." Li Fei was momentarily stunned. When she regained her senses, her eyes were filled with emotions.
Li Fei had heard Duan Ling Tian mentioned w.a.n.g Fei Xuan before. Although he did not say much, based on her womanly instinct, she could tell w.a.n.g Fei Xuan liked Duan Ling Tian.
"She's really Tian'er's friend? Since you know her… Come with me and greet her," Duan Ru Feng said.
Duan Ru Feng who was standing nearby ran over and blinked his eyes innocently before he said, "Grandfather, I want to come as well!"
.
"Grandma is coming as well." Following that, Duan Nian Tian turned to look at Li Rou before he reached out and held her hand with a cute pout.
"Alright, alright… Grandma will come along." Li Rou promised as she dotingly patted her grandchild's head.
"We'll listen to Nian Tian and go together…" Duan Ru Feng agreed as he looked at Duan Nian Tian affectionately.
After that, Duan Ru Feng raised his arm and enveloped Li Rou, Li Fei, and Duan Nian Tian with an invisible force and brought them away from the Main Mansion of Azure Cloud Mansion. After a few moments, they finally arrived at the Crouching Dragon Lake.
"Lord Mansion Master!"
"Madam!"
"Young Madam!"
When Duan Ru Feng appeared along with Li Rou, Li Fei, and her son before the nine Black Armored Guards, the Black Armored Guards greeted them immediately.
Li Rou was their Mansion Master's wife so they addressed her as Madam.
As for Li Fei, she was the wife of their Young Mansion Master so they had greeted her as Young Madam.
'Mansion Master? Madam? Young Madam?'
Upon hearing the Black Armored Guards' greetings, w.a.n.g Fei Xuan's attention s.h.i.+fted to the newcomers. She quickly greeted Duan Ru Feng who was standing next to Li Rou. "Pleased to meet you, Mansion Master Duan and Madam!"
As w.a.n.g Fei Xuan bowed at Duan Ru Feng and his wife, she could not help but glance at Li Fei who was standing next to Li Rou from the corner of her eyes.
Currently, Li Fei was holding her son, Duan Nian Tian's hand. Duan Nian Tian was sizing w.a.n.g Fei Xuan up as though he was curious about this stranger whom he had never seen before.
"Lady Fei Xuan, you don't have to be so courteous," Duan Ru Feng said with a smile, "I've heard from my daughter-in-law that you're a friend of my son in the Mystical Sky Mansion… This is no place for a conversation. Do you want to come into the Main Mansion with us?"
"Yes, please." w.a.n.g Fei Xuan agreed immediately.
As soon as w.a.n.g Fei Xuan agreed to it, Duan Ru Feng raised his hands again and brought all of them away from the Crouching Dragon Lake.
When Duan Ru Feng and the others appeared, they had already arrived at the majestic Main Mansion of Azure Cloud Mansion. It took a while for w.a.n.g Fei Xuan to regain her senses.
After w.a.n.g Fei Xuan recollected herself, Duan Ru Feng introduced the three people standing next to him.
'His wife, his son…'
Although w.a.n.g Fei Xuan had prepared herself for this, she could not help but feel depressed inwardly when she was introduced to Duan Ling Tian's wife, Li Fei, and their son. However, she still greeted Li Fei politely.
Naturally, Li Fei responded politely as well. She did not snub w.a.n.g Fei Xuan. After all, her man's friend was also her friend.
'It seems like this girl is also fond of Tian'er… This is all Tian'er's fault! He still has unresolved matters with Bi Yao and Lan'er, why is he still attracting girls outside?' Li Rou thought to herself. She was a woman as well. Naturally, she saw the changes in w.a.n.g Fei Xuan when she heard that Li Fei was Duan Ling Tian's wife.
Previously, Li Rou wanted to have as many daughters-in-law as possible. Otherwise, she would not have brought Xiao Lan and Princess Bi Yao over from the Mortal Continent. However, she had changed her mind. In fact, she regretted bringing Xiao Lan and Princess Bi Yao with her. She felt sorry for them since it was uncertain if her son would accept them. That matter had not even be resolved but w.a.n.g Fei Xuan had shown up. It made her feel dispirited.
"Miss Fei Xuan, if you came to look for my son Duan Ling Tian, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you… He's no longer in the Lower Province," Duan Ru Feng said to w.a.n.g Fei Xuan.
"I know," w.a.n.g Fei Xuan nodded and continued to say, "I didn't come looking for him. I came to tip you off, Mansion Master…" A hint of fear appeared in her eyes as though she recalled something horrifying.
"Tip me off?" Duan Ru Feng was stunned.
"The Mystical Sky Mansion is gone. My home, the fourth-rate force, the Tyrannic Saber Mansion, is also gone." w.a.n.g Fei Xuan said grimly. Terror could be heard in her voice.
"Monsters… Monsters with ox's heads and human bodies… They emit terrifying Devil Qi and are extremely strong. Even the Mansion Master of Mystical Sky Mansion was killed in just a blow before he was turned into a dried corpse!"
