'Didn't they say that the top five in the Thirteen Gangsters are all Martial Cultivators on the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage?'
Duan Lingtian gasped.
'Could it be that … Ling Yun has just broken through recently?'
Duan Lingtian could only come up with such a conclusion in the end.
Duan Lingtian realized.
As soon as Ling Yun appeared, other than Jin Yuanbao, everyone else, including Xiong Hu who was ranked second among the Thirteen Gangsters, looked at him with fear in their eyes.
"Very good, everyone's here."
A voice came out of nowhere in the meeting hall, scaring Duan Lingtian.
Duan Ling Tian was not the only one. Apart from Ling Yun, everyone else was shocked as well.
Ling Yun was the only one who stood there like a statue. He was as still as a mountain.
'Ling Yun's composure is really terrifying.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
As soon as the voice came out of nowhere, a green figure appeared at the head of the meeting hall … It was a green-clad middle-aged man.
As soon as the green-clad middle-aged man appeared, he emitted an extremely powerful aura that made everything around him pale in comparison.
"Greetings, Lord Heavenly Leader Guardian!"
At once, everyone, including Ling Yun, bowed at the green-clad middle-aged man.
Duan Lingtian and Guo Li bowed as well.
If only the two of them were present, they would not recognize this person at all.
'He's the Heavenly Leader Guardian? One of the 36 Guardians under the command of the City Governor of Mound Hill City? '
Duan Lingtian was secretly shocked. After he lifted his head, he began to size up the green-clad middle-aged man. He was the leader of the 36 Guardians, the Heavenly Leader Guardian.
"I've gathered all of you here to announce something."
The Heavenly Leader Guardian went straight to the point. "Three months later, Lord City Governor will come out of his closed-door cultivation … By then, he'll pick two to three disciples from the thirteen of you."
Lord City Governor was going to pick disciples?!
As soon as the Heavenly Leader Guardian finished speaking, apart from Duan Lingtian, everyone's eyes lit up, including Ling Yun.
The City Governor of Mound Hill City was a powerful Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse. He was the strongest powerhouse in the surrounding area of Mound Hill City!
If they could become his disciple, it would be easy for them to rise to the top.
Apart from that, it was also equivalent to obtaining a powerful protection … The disciple of the City Governor of Mound Hill City could do whatever he wanted in the area around Mound Hill City.
The sound of heavy breathing echoed throughout the meeting hall.
Among the people present on the scene, apart from Duan Ling Tian who had an indifferent expression, only Ling Yun was calm. However, a hint of desire could be seen in Ling Yun's eyes.
Duan Lingtian, on the other hand, didn't seem to care.
He wasn't trying to act cool.
It was because he really didn't feel anything at all.
Duan Lingtian's vision was different from the vision of the other young geniuses present …
In the eyes of these young geniuses, the City Governor of Mound Hill City who was on the Saint Rudiment Stage was someone they had to look up to and respect.
In Duan Lingtian's eyes, the City Governor of Mound Hill City was just an ordinary Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator.
The Heavenly Leader Guardian saw Duan Lingtian's calmness and could not help but praise him secretly. 'This little fella from the Mortal Continent that Ninth Brother found is pretty good … He hasn't seen much of the world, but he's still so calm after hearing that the City Governor wants to take in a disciple.'
One could imagine.
If Duan Lingtian knew what the Heavenly Leader Guardian was thinking, perhaps he would take out the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and make it bigger before slamming it on the Heavenly Leader Guardian's head.
Did this fella just say that he hadn't seen much of the world?
"Lord Heavenly Leader Guardian, may I ask how the City Governor will choose his disciple among us?"
Zhang Ji Long asked excitedly.
"After three months, the City Governor will come out of closed-door cultivation and test all of you … Of course, I don't know what the test is about," the Heavenly Leader Guardian said.
The Heavenly Leader Guardian said, "I called all of you here to remind all of you … to work as hard as you can in these three months and raise your strength."
"After three months, if anyone is eliminated from the Thirteen Gangsters, he won't be able to become the City Governor's disciple."
After the Heavenly Leader Guardian finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, all of you can go back now."
As soon as the Heavenly Leader Guardian finished speaking, apart from Duan Lingtian and Ling Yun, the remaining eleven people flew out of the meeting hall in the blink of an eye and headed straight to the Latent Dragon Camp.
They were rushing back to cultivate.
Ling Yun glanced at Duan Lingtian in surprise and flew out as well.
"Guo Li too … Even if she wants to improve her strength, she shouldn't be in such a hurry, right?"
Duan Lingtian forced a smile and walked out of the meeting hall slowly.
He was not interested in becoming the disciple of the City Governor of Mound Hill City, so naturally, he was not in a hurry to go back to cultivate.
"Wait!"
Duan Lingtian heard a voice coming from behind him just as he was about to cross the threshold of the meeting hall. It was the Heavenly Leader Guardian's voice.
"Lord Heavenly Leader Guardian, you called for me?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at the Heavenly Leader Guardian.
To be honest, he was very curious about the Heavenly Leader Guardian, the leader of the 36 Guardians under the command of the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
Earlier, there were a few times when he wanted to use his Divine Eye to probe him.
However, when he thought about how Senior Lin who was ranked ninth among the 36 Guardians was at the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage, Duan Lingtian dismissed the thought.
Duan Lingtian even suspected that the leader of the 36 Guardians might be at the Saint Rudiment Stage like the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
Naturally, this was only his speculation.
"I heard you're from the Mortal Continent?"
The Heavenly Leader Guardian asked as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian was not surprised that the Heavenly Leader Guardian knew about his origin. After all, he had told Senior Lin about his origin and that he was from the Mortal Continent.
"Which Mortal Continent are you from? As far as I know, there's a total of three Mortal Continents outside of the Dao Martial Saint Land … However, only two Mortal Continents have Martial Cultivators. "
"I'm from the Mortal Continent that only has Martial Cultivators."
Duan Lingtian replied honestly.
"I've heard of that Mortal Continent … It's called the Cloud Continent."
The Heavenly Leader Guardian nodded. "It seems like you're not from the same Mortal Continent as the City Governor's disciple … If you're from the same continent, you might know each other."
"The City Governor's disciple?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned. "He's from the Mortal Continent as well?"
"Yes."
The Heavenly Leader Guardian nodded and smiled. "Not only is he from the Mortal Continent, but he's also a rare Martial Dao prodigy. You'll have a chance to meet him in the future. "
"Hmm."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Lord Heavenly Leader Guardian!"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian recalled something. "Can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead."
The Heavenly Leader Guardian nodded.
"Do you know there's a clan with the surname Han in the fifth-rate forces in the Dao Martial Saint Land?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
A fifth-rate force!
The moment Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, the Heavenly Leader Guardian's expression changed.
A fifth-rate force!
To him, it was something he could only look up to.
"Lord Heavenly Leader Guardian, what's wrong?"
Duan Lingtian was puzzled when he saw the Heavenly Leader Guardian's strange expression. He did not know why the Heavenly Leader Guardian's expression changed.
Was there something wrong?
This was because the Saint Stones that Xue Nai gave him were mostly fifth-grade Saint Stones. A small portion of them were fourth-grade Saint Stones.
Due to this reason, he guessed the force behind Xue Nai was a fifth-rate force in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Naturally, this was also due to Guo Li's reminder.
According to Guo Li, the Guo Clan in Fuyu Town was a ninth-rate force that owned a ninth-grade Saint Stone reserve.
The City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City was an eighth-rate force that owned an eighth-grade Saint Stone reserve.
A ninth-grade Saint Stone reserve could produce a small portion of eighth-grade Saint Stones.
An eighth-grade Saint Stone reserve could produce a small portion of seventh-grade Saint Stones.
That was his speculation.
The force that Xue Nai belonged to should be a fifth-rate force in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
"Duan Lingtian, why are you asking about this?"
The Heavenly Leader Guardian asked after he took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"When I was in the Mortal Continent, I heard from my grandfather that he met someone when he was young. That person's surname was Han, and he claimed to be from a fifth-rate force in the Dao Martial Saint Land."
Duan Lingtian casually came up with a reason. He did not dare to directly say that he knew someone with the surname Han who was suspected to be from a fifth-rate force in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
He did not want to create unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, if he said he knew someone from a fifth-rate force, he would be dead meat if they thought he had received some benefits from the fifth-rate force and became greedy.
After experiencing two lifetimes, coupled with the Reincarnation Emperor Wu's two lifetimes of memories, Duan Lingtian could be said to have experienced four lifetimes. Naturally, his thoughts were thorough.
"So that's how it is."
The Heavenly Leader Guardian sighed in relief when he heard that. "Indeed, many people from the Dao Martial Saint Land went to the Mortal Continent in the past. However, I heard from them that the conditions there were terrible. They felt uncomfortable staying there for a while."
Upon hearing the Heavenly Gift Guardian's words, Duan Lingtian could not help but smile wryly.
Compared to the Dao Martial Saint Land, the conditions on the Mortal Continent were naturally worse.
Putting everything else aside.
Just the Guo Clan that Guo Li was from, the ninth-rate force in the Dao Martial Saint Land in Fuyu Town, had a better cultivation environment and resources than any place on Cloud Continent.
"As for a fifth-rate force … I don't know much about it. Even our City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City is only an eighth-rate force. Even the great sect above our Mound Hill City is only a seventh-rate force. "
The Heavenly Leader Guardian said, "A fifth-rate force is too far away from us … However, there's one thing I'm sure of. There are many powerhouses in a fifth-rate force. There are at least hundreds of Saint Stage powerhouses. "
When the Heavenly Leader Guardian mentioned the Saint Stage powerhouses, respect appeared on his face. It was respect that came from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. At the same time, he could not help but feel shocked. 'So the force that Xue Nai is from is actually so powerful? There are hundreds of Saint Stage powerhouses … Isn't this a little too exaggerated? '
Duan Lingtian was inexplicably shocked.
After a while, Duan Lingtian bade farewell to the Heavenly Leader Guardian and left the assembly hall.
'What a rare genius … He has been cultivating in the Mortal Continent all this while, and he managed to break through to the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage at the age of 35! If Master City Governor's disciple did not follow Master City Governor to the Dao Martial Saint Land, he might not be able to compare to him. '
The Heavenly Leader Guardian thought to himself.
