2341 Revealing His Identity

A cold wave of energy swept through the main hall, causing everyone to feel as though their hearts and souls were frozen. This was particularly true for the male customers who were blatantly staring at Ke'er and Gan Ru Yan. They felt the cold more deeply compared to the others. They panicked and quickly shifted their eyes away from the girls to the purple-clad young man who was walking in the lead.

The purple-clad young man was tall and had an elegant bearing. However, the coldness he emitted felt as though it could even freeze the air. Everyone in the main hall of the restaurant fell silent immediately. They only regained their senses, looking as though they had just survived a terrifying disaster, when the purple-clad young man and his companions left the restaurant.

"How terrifying! The purple-clad young man is really scary!"

"You're right! He didn't even look at us, but the coldness he emitted was enough to make my heart freeze. It felt as though my heart had stopped beating at that moment."

"Me too. It was not only my heart that felt as though it had frozen, but even my soul felt frozen… Moreover, I was in a daze. It was weird. It felt as though everything had become a blur. It felt like a near-death experience."

"I wonder what's the purple-clad young man's cultivation base? Just the aura he emitted was so terrifying! How much more terrifying would it be if he had attacked?!"

The customers in the main hall of the restaurant discussed among themselves after Duan Ling Tian left with Ke'er, Duan Si Ling, and Gan Ru Yan. Most of them looked as though they had just survived a disaster.

...

Meanwhile, in the street outside of the restaurant...

A thunderous voice cried out, "Lad! It's your daughter's luck that my lord took a liking to her and her innate talent. If you know what's good for you, quickly ask your daughter to kneel and kowtow to my lord and acknowledge him as her master!"

The voice was thunderously loud and caught the attention of the people on the street and the diners inside the restaurant. A few diners even rushed out from the restaurant to see what was going on.

"It's the purple-clad young man! Someone took a liking to his daughter!"

"The twelve or thirteen-year-old girl is his daughter?"

"That young girl resembles the pair of beautiful women… It seems like those beautiful women are his wives!"

"He's really a winner in life."

"Whether he's a winner in life or not, currently, he's stuck in a predicament…"

More and more diners rushed out of the restaurant after paying their bills when they heard the growing commotion from outside. When they exited the restaurant, they saw the purple-clad young man and his three companions.

At this moment, Duan Si Ling who was in her father's arms whispered to him, "Father, they're disgusting!" She was obviously talking about the group of three men who stood across them.

A skinny old man with white eyebrows and dressed in a silk robe stood in the lead. It was obvious he was not a commoner. Two middle-aged men dressed in simple robes stood behind him. One of them was as skinny as a bamboo pole, while the other one was huge and burly.

The burly middle-aged man had stepped forward and stared at Duan Ling Tian with his huge eyes in an imposing manner. It was obvious he was trying to intimidate Duan Ling Tian. He was also the one who had spoken earlier.

The diners who had left the restaurant whispered among themselves as they watched this spectacle. All of them knew something was about to happen.

"What happened?"

"I'm not sure… I just came out..."

"It seems like the finely-dressed old man had taken a liking to the purple-clad young man's daughter. It seems like he intends to take the young girl as his disciple but the purple-clad young man rejected his request."

"I heard the purple-clad young man's daughter saying earlier she doesn't need a master or teacher since she has her father!"

...

Duan Ling Tian's expression was extremely dark when he heard the burly middle-aged man's words. He looked at the burly middle-aged man coldly and said, "Get lost!" He had intended to rush to the Fire Worship Sect. Who knew someone would block his way as soon as he had left the restaurant? He would have let the matter go if the group of men had just blocked his way and expressed their interest in taking his daughter as a disciple. His daughter had a high innate talent, it was only natural that people admired those who were talented. However, he could not forgive these people since they had threatened him when he expressed he was not interested in letting his daughter become the old man's disciple.

The finely-dressed old man's expression changed dramatically when he heard Duan Ling Tian asking them to get lost.

Meanwhile, the burly middle-aged man had a shocked expression on his face. He said angrily, "Lad, you… How dare you ask me to get lost?! If I want to kill you, it'd be as easy as killing a chicken or a duck!"

Duan Ling Tian sneered. "A mere cultivator at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage has the audacity to claim he's able to kill me as easily as killing a chicken?" He vanished before everyone's sight as soon as he finished speaking.

Whoosh!

In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian appeared in front of the burly middle-aged man like a ghost. He lifted his hand and gripped the burly middle-aged man's neck tightly before the burly middle-aged man had time to react. He lifted the burly-middle aged man by his neck easily even though the burly middle-aged man was bigger than him. The sight of a smaller man lifting a bigger man by his neck was very strange.

"Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial?"

"The purple-clad young man said the burly middle-aged man is a cultivator at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?"

"I think we heard wrongly! Cultivators at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage are extremely strong, and all of them are ranked in the Supreme Saint Ranking. However, the burly middle-aged man is just the old man's servant."

"You're right. I think it's likely that the purple-clad young man wants to show how powerful he is by saying his opponent is at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage."

"That's possible!"

Apart from Duan Ling Tian's companions and the group of men, almost everyone did not believe Duan Ling Tian when he said the burly middle-aged man was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. After all, they were currently in a small albeit bustling city. Usually, it would be difficult for them to encounter a cultivator at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, let alone someone at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

Naturally, there was a small group of people who knew the burly middle-aged man was truly at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

The finely-dressed old man and the other middle-aged man was dumbfounded when they saw Duan Ling Tian appearing out of thin air in front of their companion, and just as quickly, he had gripped their companion's neck, lifting him.

The finely-dressed old man shifted his eyes to Duan Ling Tian and asked in a cold and raspy voice, "You… Who or what are you?!"

Boom!

A loud sound reverberated in the air when Duan Ling Tian threw the burly middle-aged man and he landed on the ground. Soon after, he disappeared and appeared next to Duan Si Ling. Then, he met the finely-dressed old man's eyes and said indifferently, "Duan Ling Tian. The successor of the Fog Rain Progeny from the Seven Absolutes Sect!"

Seven Absolutes Sect!

The successor of the Fog Rain Progeny!

The finely-dressed old man's eyes widened when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words.

The people in the surroundings were shocked and terrified when they heard Duan Ling Tian's words as well. This, naturally, included the skinny and burly middle-aged men.

This purple-clad young man was the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny from the Seven Absolutes Sect?!

During the past few years, the Seven Absolutes Sect had been the talk of the town in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

Up until now, apart from the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny, all the successors of the Absolutes had revealed themselves. For this reason, many people were curious about the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny from the Seven Absolutes Sect. All of them were curious about what kind of person he was, his strength, and his cultivation base.

It was completely out of the crowd's expectation that the successor of the Fog Rain Progeny from the Seven Absolutes Sect would suddenly appear before them!

Everyone was still in shock when the finely-dressed old man finally said in a calm tone, "I was just wondering when did the Upper Province get another Eminent Celestial. As it turns out, you're the current successor of the Fog Rain Progeny and the Sect Leader of the Seven Absolutes Sect!"
