Bloodbath at the Imperial Palace

"What happened was.." Feng Wu Dao sighed before he recounted everything. "After you left, not only did the imperial family of Windfall Nation kept their eyes on us, but even those powerhouses from external forces were doing the same… After all, we're the only people they know who had a connection to you who owns the Devilseal Tablet."

"However, they didn't bother us when we swore on the lightning penalty oath that we know nothing about your whereabouts… Perhaps, they think you would go deeper into hiding out of fear if news spread about them killing anyone of us," Feng Wu Dao continued saying.

Duan Ling Tian nodded, he had already guessed this would happen back then. That was why he felt at ease leaving his family and friends behind.

As long as he was not exposed and stayed hidden, his friends and family would not be in trouble because apart from knowing him and his origins, they did not know his whereabouts.
