Taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian suppressed the desire that arose within his heart, and after finishing his breakfast, he left the rear courtyard.
"Xiong Quan!"
After finding Xiong Quan in the front courtyard, Duan Lingtian took out a brush and paper, and with a wave of his hand, he wrote down the names of a large pile of materials.
"Gather these materials for me as soon as possible. Here's 10,000,000 silver, take it."
At the same time that he passed the paper filled with materials to Xiong Quan, Duan Lingtian withdrew all the silver from his Spatial Ring, a total of 10,000,000 silver, and passed it all to Xiong Quan.
"Yes, Young Master."
Xiong Quan respectfully replied, and after Duan Lingtian left the house, he left as well.
When Duan Lingtian arrived at Paladin Academy's Star Mastermind Department classroom, he noticed that Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun were already there. "You two are really early …."
Class hadn't started yet, so the three of them gathered together and whispered as they chatted.
"Right, Xiao Xun, you're a disciple of the Xiao Clan. Do you know what cultivation level a Void Stage expert in the Crimson Sky Kingdom is? According to my knowledge, some Void Stage experts aren't at the true Void Stage, but are only at the Half-step Void Stage, and their cultivations are still at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage. "
Duan Lingtian's eyes focused as he asked Xiao Xun.
Xiao Xun shook his head and smiled. "Others might not know, but I just happen to know …. Actually, the Void Stage experts that are widely rumored in the Crimson Sky Kingdom are very different from the Void Stage experts that are rumored to be able to fly."
"For example, the County Governors of the 18 counties under the Crimson Sky Kingdom, the Guard Commanders of the three great merchant groups, and the Void Stage experts of our Xiao Clan …. They're all only martial artists at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, which is the Half-step Void Stage you spoke of! They can at most float in the air for a while, but are unable to truly fly. "
Xiao Xun slowly said.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
As expected, it was just as he thought.
The Divine Might Marquis, Nie Yuan, was also an existence like this ….
"Within the Crimson Sky Kingdom, there ought to be a true Void Stage expert that can fly, right?"
Duan Lingtian immediately thought of the Divine Might Marquis Estate's Old Marquis, that old man.
Although the old man was poisoned by the Dark Nether Mink and his Origin Energy was suppressed, he was still a true Void Stage powerhouse, an existence at the Void Prying Stage.
"Of course."
Xiao Xun nodded, and his gaze revealed reverence. "According to legend, there are three true Void Stage experts in our Crimson Sky Kingdom. The Imperial Family has one, the Divine Might Marquis Estate has one, and the Ghastly Shadow has one."
Ghost Shadow?
Duan Lingtian was slightly surprised. He didn't find it strange that the Imperial Family had a true Emptiness Realm Expert.
After all, that was an existence that stood at the peak of the Crimson Sky Kingdom's pyramid!
But that Ghastly Shadow, a mere assassin organization, actually had a true Void Stage expert holding down the fort?
"Right, it's enough for the two of you to know about this. Try not to spread it out …. These are the secrets of our Crimson Sky Kingdom. If it wasn't for me pestering my grandfather that day, he wouldn't have told me."
Xiao Xun finished speaking and added another sentence.
Duan Lingtian and Xiao Yu both nodded, indicating that they understood.
"And how many people know that the Void Stage experts that are widely spread outside are practically only Half-step Void Stage experts, and not true Void Stage experts!"
Xiao Xun lightly sighed.
In the following idle chatter, Duan Lingtian had a certain level of understanding towards the distribution of powers within the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
Within the Crimson Sky Kingdom, the power that stood at the peak was undoubtedly the Imperial Family!
The Void Stage expert within the Imperial Family was said to be the strongest existence within the Crimson Sky Kingdom …. Even the Void Stage experts of the Ghastly Shadow and the Divine Might Marquis Estate were inferior to that person.
The two great powers that were only inferior to the Imperial Family were the Ghastly Shadow and the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
Every one of them had a true Void Stage expert holding down the fort!
The next six great powers were respectively the three great clans of the Imperial City, the Duan Clan, the Xiao Clan, the Su Clan, and the three great trading companies that included the Violet Tulip Trading Company.
Within these six great powers, there were many Half-step Void Stage experts.
Behind them were the 18 County Governor's Estates under the Crimson Sky Kingdom, and every single one of them had a Half-step Void Stage expert.
"Divine Might Marquis Estate … The current Divine Might Marquis Estate is probably inferior to the three great clans and three great trading companies."
Duan Lingtian sighed in his heart.
He understood that the glory of the Divine Might Marquis Estate originated from the Senior Marquis.
The Divine Might Marquis Estate was still like the sun in the midday sky, and it was all because the Senior Marquis was still alive. Even though the Senior Marquis was poisoned by the Dark Nether Mink, no one dared look down upon the Divine Might Marquis Estate ….
Just like a tiger, even if it was sick, it was still a tiger, and was far from something a kitten or puppy could compare to!
Of course, if the Senior Marquis were to pass away one day, then the Divine Might Marquis Estate would completely decline.
Unless the Divine Might Marquis Estate was able to produce a true Void Stage expert!
Unknowingly, everyone in the classroom had arrived, and the teacher, Sima Chang Feng, had also arrived.
However, for the entire morning, even though Duan Lingtian was in the classroom, his heart had flown off somewhere.
He was constantly thinking about Xiong Quan going to gather materials, and he wondered how Xiong Quan was doing now ….
"The offensive inscriptions I can inscribe now are sufficient to annihilate a Nascent Soul Stage martial artist, and 90% and above of them are unable to pose a threat to a Half-step Void Stage expert …. Only a few inscriptions are sufficient to annihilate a Half-step Void Stage expert!"
"However, those few inscriptions each require an extremely precious material, and it would probably be extremely difficult to gather them in the Crimson Sky Kingdom."
Duan Lingtian's thoughts drifted as he pondered for a moment.
"Never mind, why am I thinking so much …. Could it be that the Fifth Prince and the Duan Clan's Second Master, Duan Ru Lei, are able to order a Half-step Void Stage expert to deal with me?"
Thinking up to this point, Duan Lingtian laughed in self-ridicule.
Even though there were many Half-step Void Stage experts in the Imperial Family and the Duan Clan, not just anyone could order them around, not to mention being sent out to deal with a youth like him ….
Overall, his gains today were not bad.
At the very least, he had a certain understanding of the various powers of the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!
At noon, Duan Lingtian and the others gathered together to eat.
"Humph!"
Suddenly, one of the youths that walked into the cafeteria from afar shot an incomparably icy gaze at Duan Lingtian.
"Duan Lingtian, this Duan Rong looks like he won't let this go. Be careful."
Xiao Yu recognized this person and frowned as he spoke with a serious expression.
"It's fine, he's just a clown."
Duan Lingtian said indifferently.
"It's better to be careful. The wife of the Duan Clan's Second Master is famous for being vicious and merciless! There was once a servant girl who called her 'fat woman' in private, and she heard it …. Guess what happened? "
As Xiao Xun finished speaking, he started to speak in riddles.
"Killed by her?"
Tian Hu guessed.
"No."
Xiao Xun shook his head.
"Alright, stop keeping us in suspense. Speak, what happened in the end?"
Xiao Yu scolded with a smile.
Xiao Xun's eyes revealed a trace of being unable to bear it. "In the end, she ordered someone to pour water into that servant girl's stomach …. Continuously pouring water for a day and night, it finally caused that servant girl's stomach to burst open. Supposedly, her intestines flowed all over the floor!"
"F * * k! You're talking about this when we're eating. "
Tian Hu's face went cold.
Duan Lingtian's eyes went cold. The wife of the Duan Clan's Second Master, the mother of that Duan Lingxing!
As expected, they were jackals of the same lair!
Their entire family was so vicious and merciless!
"Young Miss Li, he's the person who severed the tendons in the hands of the grade 2 student yesterday."
Suddenly, a flattering voice sounded out from afar, and a young man with a wretched appearance arrived before Duan Lingtian's table and stretched out his hand to point at Su Li.
"F * * k off!"
Su Li's gaze went cold, and his voice was cold like ice.
"Don't misunderstand, I don't have any ill intentions. It's just that Young Miss Li wants to get to know you."
The young man with a wretched appearance was terrified to the point his face went pale. He'd personally witnessed Su Li's ability at noon yesterday, and didn't think that he was a match for Su Li.
"Hmm?"
Su Li frowned and looked behind the young man with a wretched appearance.
A red clothed young woman was walking over while being escorted by another young woman.
"It's her!"
Duan Lingtian's gaze focused when he saw the red clothed young woman.
The person that appeared before him now was none other than the young woman he'd taught a lesson in the restaurant in the outer city that day. She was the daughter of the Fair Sun County's County Governor, and at the same time, the cousin of the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Fifth Prince.
Enemies really do meet on a narrow road!
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
However, Duan Lingtian noticed that because of the angle, the young woman didn't seem to have noticed him …
Moreover, the young woman seemed to only have Su Li in her eyes now.
"Hello, I'm Tong Li."
Before Su Li, Tong Li actually put away her usual arrogant appearance, and her face revealed a trace of a light smile.
"Su Li!"
Su Li indifferently nodded to Tong Li.
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth twitched when he saw this scene.
It can't be …
This young woman is actually interested in Su Li?
Too absurd!
Meanwhile, Xiao Yu, Xiao Xun, and Tian Hu all glanced ambiguously at Su Li, as they'd noticed an inkling.
Su Li only glanced at Tong Li before withdrawing his gaze and indifferently said, "If there's nothing else, don't disturb our meal."
Tong Li's gaze focused and a trace of rage appeared on her face.
"Are you going to flare up?"
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a sneer. As expected, a leopard can't change its spots!
"Su Li, what do you mean by this? This young lady greeting you is your honor … You, don't be unable to tell what's good for you! "
Tong Li completely flared up and recovered her true nature as she shouted with a stern voice.
As far as she was concerned, she'd already given Su Li enough face by humbly greeting him, but Su Li having such an attitude caused her to be unable to endure it!
Her attitude from before that was normal in the eyes of others, in her own eyes, could already be considered to be humbling herself.
Xiao Yu, Xiao Xun, and Tian Hu were stunned.
The current Tong Li was simply like a completely different person from the Tong Li from before!
It's said that women are fickle, but isn't this change a bit too exaggerated?
"F * * k off!"
Su Li's face sank, and his gaze went slightly cold as he shouted in a low voice.
"You … You dare tell me to f * * k off?"
Tong Li's face went pale. Besides that violet-clothed youth who didn't know what was good for him, there was actually someone who dared to shout at her like this …
