"Where's that kid?"
The three middle-aged men followed the violet clothed youth all the way into a remote alley. They originally thought that they were about to succeed, but they noticed that the violet clothed youth had suddenly vanished without a trace at the fork in the road ahead.
"Split up and search!"
The green-clothed middle-aged man spoke in a low voice, and his eyes flickered with an extremely greedy sheen …
Just when the three of them were prepared to split up and enter the fork in the road ahead.
"There's no need to search."
A lazy voice sounded out from ahead, causing them to shudder as if they were jolted awake from a dream.
Subsequently, they saw a violet clothed youth walk out from one of the fork in the road. Wasn't he their target?
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the three of them.
He'd noticed these three people when he was in the Alchemist Guild's hall. At that time, when he put away the 10 million silver, the eyes of these three people emitted a sheen of greed and bloodthirst. Obviously, they had covetous thoughts and were eyeing the silver in his hand.
As expected, after he left, he noticed that he had three more tails.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three middle-aged men flashed out and surrounded Duan Lingtian tightly, as if they were deeply afraid that he would run away again …
They didn't think that if Duan Lingtian wanted to run, would he still come out at this moment?
However, they'd obviously been blinded by greed now.
In their hearts, there was only the 10 million silver!
"Kid, take out the 10 million silver and maybe we brothers will leave you with an intact corpse."
One of the middle-aged men licked his dry lips, and his eyes emitted greed as he spoke in a low voice.
"An 18 year old grade nine alchemist … Tsk tsk, being able to kill such an alchemy genius in my lifetime can be considered as having accumulated good karma from my ancestors."
The other middle-aged man's eyes shone, as if Duan Lingtian was already a dead man.
"If I give you the 10 million silver, will you let me go?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed as he asked abruptly.
"Kid, I presume your background isn't ordinary since you're able to become a grade nine alchemist at the age of 18 … You've seen the faces of us three brothers, so we won't take the risk. So, you don't have the qualifications to talk terms with us! Today, you'll die for sure! "
The cyan-robed middle-aged man in the lead snorted in a low voice as his eyes revealed a murderous intent.
"Then there's nothing to talk about, is there?"
Duan Lingtian spread out his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled.
The middle-aged man frowned. Duan Lingtian was still so calm even now, which made him feel uncertain. He couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, and shouted in a low voice, "Kill him, I'm afraid the situation will change!"
In an instant, the three middle-aged men moved at the same time.
Above them, a few tens of ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared, and they were obviously three Origin Core Stage martial artists …
"Little Black!"
Duan Ling Tian's eyes focused as he raised his hand and exclaimed in a low voice.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a black bolt of lightning shot out from Duan Lingtian's sleeve and circled around Duan Lingtian, bringing with it three streaks of bright, demonic blood. Then, it fell on Duan Lingtian's hand. It was a black, single-horned python. It was flicking its tongue, as if it was asking for credit from Duan Lingtian.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three middle-aged men that were just about to make a move against Duan Lingtian instantly fell down, dead!
On their chests, there was an additional tiny bloody hole that was ceaselessly gushing out fresh blood …
"You …"
The cyan-robed middle-aged man hadn't died completely at the beginning, and his eyes were wide open as he looked at the violet clothed youth that was teasing Little Black. He struggled for a while before falling down in despair.
Before he died, he only had a single thought.
If the heavens gave him a chance to start over, he would absolutely not give away his and his two brothers' lives for 10 million silver.
But unfortunately, it was all too late!
"You little fellow, you only killed three Origin Core Stage martial artists, is it worthy of you being so complacent?"
Duan Lingtian rubbed the little head of Little Black, and his eyes were filled with gentleness, then he put Little Black back into his sleeve.
"I gave all of you a chance … But unfortunately, all of you didn't properly cherish it."
Duan Lingtian glanced at the three corpses on the ground, and his eyes squinted as a wisp of an evil smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
When he left, Duan Lingtian's gaze descended onto the end of the alley ahead, as if he'd noticed something, and he glanced deeply at that place before turning around and leaving.
After Duan Lingtian left, a figure slowly walked out from the end of the alley, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.
"He seems to have noticed me? How could this be possible … Even that fourth level Nascent Soul Stage fierce beast by his side didn't notice me. Maybe it's my misconception … But I was worried for nothing, as I never imagined that he had such a formidable fierce beast guarding by his side. "
The middle-aged man muttered to himself. Looking at his appearance, wasn't he precisely the Vice Guild Master of the Alchemist Guild, Ye Lun?
"Three years ago, he was poisoned by the Dark Nether Mink … That assignment was issued three years ago. If that Senior Marquis was a martial artist at the Void Prying Stage or above, he might still be struggling at death's door … If he wasn't, he'd probably have died long ago. Hmm, it's good to go ask. "
Duan Lingtian left the alley, but didn't return to his courtyard house. Instead, he inquired about the location of the Divine Might Marquis Estate and headed to the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
The Divine Might Marquis Estate was worthy of being an existence that was on par with the Imperial City's Duan Clan and Xiao Clan. The entire estate occupied a vast area and had an extraordinary aura, imperceptibly giving one a feeling of being boundlessly vast.
At the entrance of the Divine Might Marquis Estate, Duan Lingtian was stopped by four soldiers in light armor.
"That Divine Might Marquis is worthy of being a Grand General. The people guarding his door are all veterans that have bathed in blood on the battlefield."
Duan Lingtian felt a familiar aura from the four middle-aged soldiers, it was the bloody aura of slaughter on the battlefield …
"Who are you?"
One of the soldiers in light armor glanced at Duan Lingtian and asked in a stern voice.
Duan Lingtian's brows raised as he slowly said, "Who I am isn't important … I came here to ask all of you something. Is your Divine Might Marquis Estate's Senior Marquis still alive? "
As far as Duan Lingtian was concerned, so long as the Senior Marquis was alive, then he would have a chance.
He didn't think that someone would be able to cure the Senior Marquis of the poison within three years. How could the poison of the demon beast, Dark Nether Mink, be something that just anyone could cure!
"Ignorant kid, you actually dare curse our Senior Marquis!"
The faces of the four soldiers in light armor went pale, and the aura of slaughter on their bodies skyrocketed as they were about to make a move against Duan Lingtian.
But, Duan Lingtian's following words caused them to stop in their tracks.
"I'm here to cure your Senior Marquis of the poison."
Duan Lingtian had a carefree expression as he slowly said.
Duan Lingtian's words caused the four soldiers to look at each other in dismay. After the four of them glanced at each other, one of them turned around and entered the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
"Wait a moment, our brothers have already gone to inform the Marquis."
One of the soldiers in light armor said to Duan Lingtian. Although he felt that the words of this youth weren't very trustworthy, he still didn't dare be negligent. If there was an expert behind this youth, then offending this youth would also mean offending that expert.
If that expert could really cure the Senior Marquis of the poison, but refused because of their rudeness, then the losses would outweigh the gains.
Moreover, he also noticed that although this violet-clothed youth's appearance was ordinary, his movements fully revealed the demeanor of an expert. Obviously, he wasn't an ordinary youth.
Duan Lingtian's current disguised face was indeed very ordinary, and belonged to the type that couldn't be found in a crowd.
After a short while, the soldier that went to inform Duan Lingtian came out and respectfully said to him, "Young Master, the Marquis invites you in."
Duan Lingtian nodded and followed behind the soldier into the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
Within the main hall of the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
A sturdy middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, wearing casual clothes, and a stocky build was currently pacing back and forth …
"Father, didn't the soldier say that the person was only a youth? Can he really cure grandfather? "
The young man with an imposing appearance was around the age of 25, and his tone was filled with doubt.
"Fen, three years ago, when your grandfather was poisoned, even the Alchemist Guild's Guild Master, that Grade Six Alchemist, was helpless … After that, although our Divine Might Marquis Estate made a heavy promise, no one came to our door. Now, if the poison in your grandfather's body continues to drag on, I'm afraid he won't be able to live for more than a year. "
"So, no matter what, I have to try … Moreover, how do you know that there isn't an expert behind that youth?"
The stocky middle-aged man was precisely the current Divine Might Marquis of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, the Grand General of Cavalry, Nie Yuan!
Normally, even when facing the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Emperor, he would never lose his composure like this …
"Right, there's no harm in trying. If he can really cure grandfather, then I, Nie Fen, will surely be deeply grateful! "
The young man nodded, and his gaze flickered.
In his entire life, the person he respected the most was his grandfather, the Divine Might Marquis whose name once shook the entire Crimson Sky Kingdom and was conferred the title of nobility by the late Emperor.
It could be said that the Divine Might Marquis Estate's glory was single-handedly established by his grandfather.
"Marquis, I've brought him."
The voice of a soldier sounded from outside the Audience Hall.
The Divine Might Marquis, Nie Yuan, stopped his footsteps when he heard this, and his gaze was like lightning as he looked towards the distance outside the Audience Hall. "Invite him in."
Duan Lingtian walked into the Audience Hall and saw a stocky middle-aged man with an extraordinary imposing manner with a glance.
"He ought to be the current Divine Might Marquis, the Grand General of Cavalry, Nie Yuan … Eh? Didn't they say that he's a Void Stage expert that's comparable to the 18 County Governors? He ought to have yet to experience the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and is at most an existence at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage or Half-step Void Stage. "
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart. Relying on the experience of the Samsara Emperor Wu, he was able to see through the middle-aged man's cultivation with a glance.
"Divine Might Marquis."
Duan Lingtian slowly walked in and stood not far away from the Divine Might Marquis. He lightly smiled and could be considered to have bowed.
"Audacious!"
Right at this moment, an explosive shout sounded out from behind the Divine Might Marquis.
Duan Lingtian glanced over.
It was a young man with an appearance that was 50% to 60% similar to the Divine Might Marquis. The young man seemed to have transformed into an angry Vajra as he glared angrily at Duan Lingtian …
"Junior Marquis, I wonder how I'm audacious?"
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled as he guessed the identity of the young man.
"You actually dare not bow when you see the Divine Might Marquis, the Grand General of Cavalry. If this isn't audacity, then what is?"
The young man said in a low voice.
"Junior Marquis, you're wrong. Etiquette depends on the heart. If I have disrespect in my heart, then what's the use even if I bow hypocritically? Could it be that the Junior Marquis likes hypocritical etiquette? "
