Early in the morning, everything came to life as the dawn rose from the east and enveloped the earth.
Within Rain Valley Town, a carriage pulled by five tall horses galloped out. After a night, it once again walked on the spacious road and continued towards the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Imperial City …
Swoosh!
Within the carriage, Duan Lingtian weighed the stack of silver in his hand as his face revealed a brilliant smile …
He never imagined that money would come so easily!
Presently, the silver in his hand had already exceeded the 10 million mark.
"Tian, where did these silver come from?"
Li Rou's beautiful brows slightly knit together as she had a puzzled expression. She only saw that the money was given to Duan Lingtian by Xiong Quan, but she didn't know what had happened or where the money came from …
"Aunt Rou, it's surely him extorting the Tian Clan from Rain Valley Town."
Li Fei covered her mouth as she laughed lightly.
Although she didn't see the entire process of what happened last night, when Xiong Quan gave the silver to Duan Lingtian this morning, he mentioned the Tian Clan, so it wasn't difficult for her to connect all of this.
When Li Rou found out the sequence of events, she couldn't help but shake her head and laugh. "That Tian Guang really went for wool and came home shorn … But, Tian, who exactly is that Xiong Quan, and why did he acknowledge you as his master?"
To be able to deter the entire Tian Clan, Li Rou realized that Xiong Quan wasn't simple.
"Mom, he was captured to be a slave, and I coincidentally saved him, so he acknowledged me as his master."
Duan Lingtian's brows raised as he slowly explained.
"With his strength, how could he be captured to be a slave?"
Li Rou was slightly puzzled, but at the same time, she came to a sudden understanding. No wonder Xiong Quan wore a mask, it turned out that it was to conceal the slave brand.
"He was poisoned before and only had a strength at the 9th level of the Body Tempering Stage … I saved him and cured the poison for him. Hmm, his current strength has barely recovered to the Nascent Soul Stage. "
Duan Lingtian leaned on Kerr's jade legs as he ate the grapes that Kerr passed over as he spoke with a lisp.
"Nascent Soul Stage?!"
At this moment, not only Li Rou, but even Li Fei was stunned.
Although Li Fei could tell that Xiong Quan was very strong, she didn't expect him to be this strong …
Nascent Soul Realm!
Such a cultivation base was already not inferior to the Aurora City's three great clans' Grand Elders.
She was deeply shocked …
Kerr was the only one who didn't seem too surprised. She continued to peel the grapes for Duan Lingtian and put them into Duan Lingtian's mouth.
In her heart, the young master she admired the most was omnipotent.
"No wonder you were so resolute about the Fang Family in Fresh Breeze Town."
Li Rou was relieved. Some of the doubts in her heart were completely solved.
"I really didn't expect Xiong Quan to be a Nascent Soul Realm expert."
Li Fei was stunned for a long time …
"Isn't he just a Nascent Soul Stage martial artist? Is there a need to be so surprised?"
Duan Lingtian glanced at Li Fei and slowly said, "Little Fei, as long as you cultivate the Starry Sun Technique seriously, it won't be difficult for you to step into the Nascent Soul Stage within five years."
Only now did Li Fei recall that the Starry Sun Technique she cultivated was a top cultivation technique that could be cultivated to Emperor Wu's level …
Coupled with the high purity medicinal pills that Duan Lingtian refined, her cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds!
"Tian, is that Xiong Quan reliable?"
Compared to Li Fei, Li Rou considered more, and her peerlessly beautiful face became serious as she was slightly worried.
As far as she was concerned, keeping such a strong person by her side was undoubtedly a double-edged sword.
"Mom, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled. He naturally knew what his mother was worried about. It was none other than being afraid that Xiong Quan would harm him …
But unfortunately, Xiong Quan's life was currently in his hands.
In the entire world, besides him, no one was able to cure the slow acting poison he gave Xiong Quan …
That was the secret recipe of the Rebirth Martial Emperor, a Royal Grade alchemist!
When Duan Lingtian's group left, the atmosphere in the entire Tian Clan was extremely oppressive.
Their Tian Clan's Patriarch was dead!
"Dad!"
When Tian Guang woke up and noticed that his family jewels were gone, he was already deeply shocked. Now that he heard the news of his father being killed, he cried out in sorrow and was unable to accept this sudden double blow, causing him to faint once more …
He understood that the death of his father meant that his status in the Tian Clan would plummet!
A few days later, Tian Guang who'd recovered slightly with great difficulty was dragged to the Punishment Court by a few Tian Clan disciples, and he was beaten 100 times before the eyes of everyone in the Tian Clan.
Before he fainted from the pain, he heard the words of the Tian Clan's Grand Elder.
"Tian Guang brought calamity to our Tian Clan … According to the orders of the two Guardian Elders, he is hereby punished! If anyone commits the same mistake in the future, they'll be directly executed according to the clan rules … "
When he woke up once more, his aura was weak, and his eyes were filled with regret!
Never had he imagined that a single thought from that night would cause him to fall to such an end.
If the heavens gave him a chance to start all over again, then even if he abandoned his dignity and kowtowed 10 times to that violet clothed young man, he would still beg for the young man's forgiveness.
Now, he had nothing, let alone dignity.
"Tian Guang, the Grand Elder asked you to go to the Audience Hall."
Right at this moment, a voice sounded from outside, and it caused Tian Guang's face to go pale.
When he arrived at the Audience Hall, Tian Guang directly knelt before the Tian Clan's Grand Elder and hugged the Grand Elder's legs as he cried bitterly. "Grand Elder, I know my mistake, I really know my mistake … Don't punish me, don't punish me anymore … I beg you, I beg you!"
The Tian Clan's Grand Elder frowned, and his expression was slightly unsightly as he glanced at the nearby three people and said embarrassedly, "Distinguished guests, please excuse me!"
Subsequently, his face sank as he kicked Tian Guang flying. "Tian Guang, I didn't ask you to come here today to punish you! Besides the two Guardian Elders, only you are familiar with that violet clothed young man's appearance … Now, describe in detail the appearance of that violet clothed young man to these three distinguished guests. "
When Tian Guang heard that it wasn't to punish him, he caught his breath and noticed that there were three more people in the Audience Hall …
An aged old man, a middle aged man, and a young man around the age of 20.
"You all … What's your relationship with that violet clothed young man?"
Tian Guang asked with slight trepidation. He was really afraid that these three people were on the same side as the violet clothed young man and had come to stand up for the violet clothed young man …
If it was like this, then he would really be extremely unlucky!
"He's our irreconcilable enemy. We came here this time precisely for the sake of catching up to him and killing him!"
The young man around the age of 20 spoke, and his voice was filled with ruthlessness and hatred.
Tian Guang's eyes abruptly lit up when he heard this, but he seemed to have thought of something and dimmed down. "It's useless. He has an Origin Core Stage expert protecting him, and even my father, the Tian Clan's Patriarch, died at his hands …"
"Origin Core Stage?"
The young man laughed in disdain. "He's only at the Origin Core Stage, what's there to fear?! This person beside me is our Yu Clan's Grand Elder, an existence at the Nascent Soul Stage … A mere Origin Core Stage martial artist. If the Grand Elder were to make a move, he'd be able to kill him with a flip of his palm! "
"Nascent Soul Stage expert?"
Tian Guang was shocked.
The Tian Clan's Grand Elder's pupils constricted, and he only reacted after a short moment. "Yu Clan? Nascent Soul Stage expert? You all … You all wouldn't be members of our Swallow Mountain County's County City's Yu Clan, right? "
Tian Guang's gaze lit up once again, like the numerous stars in the night sky, and when he looked at the young man, it was as if he'd grabbed onto a life-saving straw!
"Exactly, we're members of the Yu Clan. This is our Yu Clan's Grand Elder, and this is my father, the Yu Clan's Second Elder."
The young man raised his head arrogantly and enjoyed the reverent gazes of the two Tian Clan members.
"So it's the Yu Clan's Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Young Master Yu. Tian Qiong has not received you well, please forgive me … Tian Guang, quickly get the kitchen to prepare a first-class banquet. I have to properly entertain our distinguished guests!"
The Tian Clan's Grand Elder, Tian Qiong, looked at Tian Guang and ordered.
"Yes, yes!"
Tian Guang hurriedly stood up. His eyes flickered and his mood surged …
Father, there's going to be someone taking revenge for you soon!
So what if that little bastard has an Origin Core Stage martial artist by his side? The Yu Clan has dispatched a Nascent Soul Stage expert this time, and it's even the Yu Clan's Grand Elder!
That little bastard is dead for sure!
You can rest in peace in the netherworld …
"Wait."
Right at this moment, the Yu Clan's Grand Elder, Yu Hui, stopped Tian Guang and said indifferently, "We didn't come to your Tian Clan this time for a meal … Now, describe the appearance of that violet-clothed youth to me right now."
Tian Guang didn't dare dally and hurriedly nodded. He recalled the scene of when he saw the violet-clothed youth that night and roughly described the youth's appearance …
"Grand Elder, it's right, it's him!"
The young man, who was the Yu Clan's Yu Xiang, had a face full of excitement.
"It's fine as long as it's him … In this way, he left this place seven days ago."
Yu Hui nodded. "Since it's like this, let's depart now."
"Grand Elder."
Tian Qiong took a step forward and said respectfully, "The three of you have traveled for an entire day and I'm sure you're hungry. How about staying for a meal in our Tian Clan? It's our honor that the three of you are able to come to our Tian Clan, and I hope that the three of you can allow us to fulfill our duties as hosts. "
Yu Hui didn't directly agree, but instead looked at Yu Xiang and the Yu Clan's Second Elder, Yu Li. "What do the two of you think?"
"Grand Elder, since that Duan Lingtian has already left seven days ago, we're not in a hurry. Let's finish this meal before we depart."
Yu Xiang suggested.
"Exactly, we'll use the Ferghana Horses to travel. No matter if we eat this meal or not, we'll surely be able to catch up to him within two days."
Yu Li nodded as well, and a cold light flickered within his eyes.
Yu Hui nodded, then looked at Tian Qiong. "Then I'll be troubling Elder Tian."
"It's no trouble, no trouble."
A smile had bloomed on Tian Qiong's face since long ago. During these past few days, first, the Tian Clan's Patriarch had died, then they were 'exploited' of 1,000,000 silver. It could be said that the Tian Clan was in a precarious situation …
The other two great clans of Cove Rain Town had been restless these past few days, and they obviously wanted to annex the Tian Clan in one fell swoop.
As far as he was concerned, so long as the Tian Clan was able to form a relationship with the County City's Yu Clan, they would surely be able to ensure their safety.
"I'll go instruct the kitchen."
