That night, when Hong Yu returned home and saw Duan Lingtian, he was pleasantly surprised.
"Brother Ling Tian, we brothers haven't seen each other in a while … I heard that you've become the City Governor's disciple. As your brother, congratulations. Tonight, we brothers won't go home until we're drunk! "
Hong Yu's face was full of smiles as he pulled Duan Lingtian to drink until they were drunk.
Of course, it was Hong Yu who was drunk.
Although Duan Lingtian did not use his True Energy to force the alcohol out of his body, his current physique was stronger than a Five-Clawed Divine Dragon of the same level. It was difficult for him to get drunk.
The next day, Duan Lingtian handed over the 1,000 eighth-grade Saint Stones that were rejected yesterday to Hong Yu who was sober. However, Hong Yu's face darkened. "Brother Ling Tian, what do you mean by this?"
"Brother Hong, I'm indebted to you and sister-in-law for taking care of Shishi all this time … Treat these Saint Stones as Shishi's living expenses."
Duan Lingtian said with a smile.
"Brother Ling Tian, who do you think I am? Since I've acknowledged you as my brother, I naturally treat Shishi as my sister. Quickly take back the Saint Stones. Otherwise, don't blame me for falling out with you! "
Hong Yu's face darkened. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied.
"Brother Hong, please calm down. I said the wrong thing."
Duan Lingtian did not expect Hong Yu to have such a big reaction. He smiled awkwardly. "How about this … I'll leave these 1,000 eighth-grade Saint Stones as my two nephews' and Shishi's cultivation expenses."
"Brother Hong, your monthly salary is not much. After deducting your and sister-in-law's cultivation expenses and daily expenses, as a Beast Tamer, you still have to use a large amount of Saint Stones to tame ferocious beasts."
Duan Lingtian said with a serious face, "Brother Hong, I don't care what you think, but it's time for the children to lay down their foundation. They can't slack off."
Hong Yu fell silent after hearing Duan Lingtian's words.
That was right.
It wouldn't be long before his two children could start cultivating as well.
If he had an endless supply of Holy Stones, he would definitely be able to soar into the sky. He wouldn't be like back then, when he didn't have any Holy Stones to cultivate and could only absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate.
Although he was the captain of the city guards, his monthly salary was only a few dozen eighth-grade saint stones. If he wasn't a beast tamer, perhaps it would be enough for his family.
However, he was a Beast Tamer. Every month, he had to pay a high price for the food he gave the Ferocious Beasts.
"Big Brother Hong, keep it. You and I are brothers, why do you need to be so calculative? Moreover, you know that I'm not only one of the 13 Gangsters in the Latent Dragon Camp, but I've also become the Governor's disciple. I don't lack Saint Stones at all. "
Seeing Hong Yu's silence, Duan Lingtian knew that Hong Yu's heart was wavering, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot.
When Hong Yu heard this, he was silent for a moment. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Ling Tian, as your elder brother, I won't refuse you … However, this is the only time. There won't be a next time."
As he spoke, Hong Yu's face stiffened.
"Alright, alright."
Naturally, Duan Lingtian agreed. It was fine as long as Hong Yu was willing to accept it. At most, he would give the Saint Stones to Shi Shi next time so that she could give them to his two little nephews.
Unknowingly, Duan Lingtian and Hong Yu began to talk about Shi Shi's background.
"Brother Ling Tian, if we can't find out about Shi Shi's background, just let her stay at my place … Both my wife and I like her very much. Moreover, my two little brats can't leave her now, "Hong Yu said.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian agreed. He knew very well that this was the best choice.
The little girl, Shi Shi, could not always follow him.
If she stayed at Hong Yu's place, she would have a home to return to. In the future, when she grew up and got married, she could have a complete life.
If she followed him, not only would it be inconvenient, but she would also have to go through many dangers.
After all, his goal was to become a powerhouse who stood at the peak of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Who knew how many dangers awaited him along the way. It was impossible for him to let Shi Shi take the risk with him.
In the next few days, Duan Lingtian did not go anywhere and stayed at Hong Yu's place.
During the day, he would accompany the little girl, Shi Shi, and at night, he would cultivate in his room.
"I'll have to leave Mound Hill City and head to the Moon Illumination Sect in six months … Once I go to the Moon Illumination Sect, I don't know when I'll be back."
Due to this reason, Duan Lingtian decided to spend more time with the little girl, Shi Shi.
This night, Duan Lingtian cultivated quietly in his room. To be more precise, he cultivated on the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had turned into a speck of dust and was lying quietly on the bed.
"I've succeeded!"
Although Duan Lingtian only cultivated on the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda at night for the past six days since he arrived at Hong Yu's place, he had cultivated there for a total of nine days.
In these nine days, he finally cultivated the Body and Arrow Synchronization in the Saint Grade Martial Tactic, Colossal Aerolite Arrow, to the Competent Stage.
The Competent Stage was the third stage of the Saint Grade Martial Tactic.
It was comparable to the fifth stage of the Human Rank Mediocre Saint Grade Martial Tactic, the Impeccable Stage.
"Now that my speed has caught up … I'm confident I can kill a native of the Dao Martial Saint Land who has just broken through to the Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage!"
Duan Lingtian was filled with confidence as his eyes shone brightly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
Just when Duan Lingtian was filled with confidence, the entire Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda shook as though there was an earthquake.
Before Duan Lingtian could react, he was blasted out of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda by an irresistible force.
After being blasted out of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, Duan Lingtian felt a wave of dizziness and discomfort spread all over his body, causing his expression to turn extremely grave.
"What do you mean?!"
There was no need for him to think about it. He knew something must have affected the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Otherwise, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda would not have blasted him out.
"Uncle Qiang, Elder Lin, he's Duan Lingtian!"
Just when Duan Lingtian's expression changed drastically and killing intent flashed in his eyes, a deep voice entered Duan Lingtian's ears.
This voice sounded somewhat familiar.
When Duan Lingtian looked over, he saw a familiar figure. "Zheng Jian!"
Duan Lingtian recognized the person. It was Zheng Jian who was thrown into the septic tank by him and was expelled from the Latent Dragon Camp and the City Governor's Mansion for accidentally killing Hu Jie.
The person who ranked fifth among the Thirteen Gangsters was a Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivator.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian also saw the other two people.
One was a middle-aged man while the other was an old man.
Both of them were obviously Zheng Jian's helpers.
Without any hesitation, Duan Lingtian activated his Divine Eye right away. With just a glance, he saw through their cultivation base … One was on Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage while the other was on Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage.
"Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage?"
Duan Lingtian's face turned slightly grave.
"That's not right!"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian seemed to have noticed something. "This old man's cultivation base seems to be unstable … Did he just break through to Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage?"
Duan Lingtian heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that.
If he had just broken through to Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage, he would still be able to fight him.
"Duan Lingtian, you caused me to be expelled from the Latent Dragon Camp and ruined my future … You must die today!"
Zheng Jian stared fixedly at Duan Ling Tian. His eyes were suffused with scarlet red, and it seemed as if he wished for nothing more than to forcefully swallow Duan Ling Tian alive.
Looking at the rising anger in his eyes, it was as though Duan Lingtian had killed his father and snatched his wife away from him.
"I caused you to be expelled from the Latent Dragon Camp and ruined your future?"
After confirming the other two people's cultivation base, Duan Lingtian calmed down. When he heard Zheng Jian's words, he smirked. "It seems like you were the one who killed your distant cousin. That's why you were expelled from the Latent Dragon Camp, right?"
"You, how can you blame this on me? What a joke! "
Duan Lingtian smirked as he looked at Zheng Jian mockingly.
"If you didn't … If you didn't … I wouldn't have failed."
Zheng Jian clenched his teeth even more when he recalled what happened in the past. However, he was too ashamed to tell Duan Lingtian about what had happened to him because it was too embarrassing.
"If I didn't throw you into the septic tank, you wouldn't have failed?"
However, Duan Lingtian had no intention of cooperating with Zheng Jian when he wanted to gloss over it.
"Septic tank?"
Both the middle-aged man and the old man were stunned when they heard Duan Lingtian's words. They looked at Zheng Jian in unison.
Although they were from New South Town's Zheng Clan, they knew Zheng Jian was expelled from the Latent Dragon Camp and the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City because of this purple-clad young man.
However, they had never heard Zheng Jian mention anything about a septic tank.
Zheng Jian had been thrown into a septic tank before?
Just the thought of it made them feel disgusted as though they had swallowed a fly. They could not help but sympathize with Zheng Jian when they looked at him.
Naturally, it was an instinctive reaction.
"Why don't you think about it? If you didn't provoke me time and time again and even made me challenge you … Would you have been thrown into the septic tank by me? Would you have accidentally killed Hu Jie? "
Duan Lingtian continued smirking when Zheng Jian was so angry that his body began to tremble violently.
"Uncle Qiang, Elder Lin, kill him! Kill him! "
Zheng Jian roared with bloodshot eyes.
"Zheng Qiang, he caused the No. 1 person among the younger generation of our New South Town's Zheng Clan to be expelled from the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City. His sin is unforgivable! If you kill him, it can be considered as venting for the family. "
The old man said calmly as he stared at Duan Lingtian with his cold eyes.
Based on his words, it seemed like he did not plan to kill Zheng Jian. Perhaps, in his opinion, the purple-clad young man before him was not worth his time.
"Yes, Elder Lin."
The middle-aged man, Zheng Qiang, nodded and looked at Duan Lingtian coldly. "Boy, repent on your way to hell. Not everyone can afford to offend our New South Town's Zheng Clan. "
"I'm the disciple of the City Governor of Mound Hill City. If you kill me, aren't you afraid that the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City will annihilate your Zheng Clan?"
Duan Lingtian glanced at Zheng Qiang, Zheng Lin, and Zheng Jian with a piercing gaze.
"Duan Lingtian, as long as you die here, who'll know our Zheng Clan killed you? Aren't you powerful? I'd like to see how many moves you can take from Uncle Qiang, a powerhouse on the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage. "
