Duan Lingtian had given careful consideration to his decision to have Tianwu’s direct disciple pass on the message that he had avenged Tianwu. Although he had used a different face and identity while acting in the Fufeng Kingdom’s royal palace, he had no intention of keeping the truth from Tianwu, as she was her master’s prized disciple.
As for the disciple passing on the message, Duan Lingtian had learned from Tianwu during their time at the Floating Flame Sect that this senior sister had been adopted by Tianwu’s master as an orphan and had been raised like a daughter. She treated her master like a mother and usually took great care of Tianwu as well. Because of this, Duan Lingtian wasn’t worried about her leaking the information. Furthermore, even if she did, few would believe her.
When he had killed Yun Kun and Zhu Mushi at the Fufeng Kingdom’s royal palace, Duan Lingtian had worn a different face, one created using a disguise technique passed down to him by Old Huo. Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie, who were present at the time, had probed him with their divine sense; they would have certainly known that the face was not "fake." Such a disguise technique was incredibly miraculous—so much so that there might not be a second person in the entire Dao Martial Saint Land who understood it. Others would never even imagine that such a supernatural technique existed. Therefore, if it ever came to it, Zhu Yuan and Zhu Lie would likely be the first to jump out and clear his name.
