"Put away the banknotes, we're going back! If you don't want to die, then it's best not to let a fourth person know of what happened tonight, including the Divine Might Marquis and your families. "
Duan Lingtian walked forward in large strides, returning to his own house.
"Yes, Young Master."
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang put away the banknotes and followed Duan Lingtian.
What a joke!
If the matter of tonight were to be known, they wouldn't be able to escape responsibility.
Even if they had made great contributions on the battlefield, even if they were the trusted aides of the Divine Might Marquis …
But the Su Clan wouldn't care so much.
At that time, even the Divine Might Marquis might not be able to protect them.
When Duan Lingtian brought Zhang Qian and Zhang Gang back to the house and returned to their respective rooms to sleep ….
The Su Clan was completely in an uproar!
The Su Clan had many properties under their control, including the inns ….
However, tonight, a calamity had befallen the Bright Splendor Inn that was subordinate to the Chu Clan.
The innkeeper of the Bright Star Inn, the person in charge of the Su Clan, and the nephew of the Su Clan's Grand Elder, Su Lie, was killed in his own room ….
Bang!
Within the Su Clan Audience Hall, the Patriarch, Su Bo Ya, had a face full of rage. His hand descended, and the armrest of the newly changed chair was smashed into pieces.
This caused the hearts of the Su Clan elders present to tremble.
Looks like after today, the Patriarch's seat will have to be changed to a new seat ….
"Who can tell me what's going on?"
Su Bo Ya's face was gloomy as he roared. The bearing that a Patriarch should have was completely gone, and only exasperation remained.
The Su Clan had been in troubled times recently. First, the most talented direct descendant disciple of the younger generation, Su Tong, was crippled. Then, they lost their recommendation to enter Paladin Academy. And now, a direct descendant disciple of the Su Clan was actually killed so brazenly!
"Patriarch, that nephew of mine died so miserably! We must find the murderer and make him pay with blood! "
The Grand Elder, Su Nan, who sat below Su Bo Ya, had a face full of grief and indignation. He was beyond furious.
Truly, another wave of trouble before the first wave had subsided!
If it was before, there would definitely be many people agreeing with the words of the Grand Elder.
But now.
"Great Elder, as far as I know, Su Lie often kidnaps women. Even if he was killed tonight, there was a woman in the room who was killed because she didn't obey him … Could it be that he did too many bad things and suffered the revenge of a chivalrous expert?!"
The old man sitting opposite Su Nan spoke indifferently. His tone was calm, but it contained a trace of schadenfreude.
"I think that the Second Elder is right. Grand Elder, you ought to have known about the vile conduct of that nephew of yours, Su Lie. Why didn't you advise him? "
"That's right. If Grand Elder had taught him well, Su Lie would definitely have restrained himself and wouldn't have lost his life because of this."
…
The remaining Su Family elders all agreed.
Some of the Su Family elders were even more sarcastic.
Ever since they found out that because of a decision made by the Grand Elder, Su Nan, the Su Clan had lost two recommendation spots in Paladin Academy, extreme dissatisfaction arose in their hearts.
The recommendation slots were already in high demand, but now it was even harder to get them!
All of this was because of Grand Elder Su Nan!
"You all …."
Su Nan's expression was incomparably unsightly. He naturally knew why he had become the target of everyone. Now, the words of these elders were reasonable, causing him to not know how to refute them.
"Patriarch, even if that nephew of mine, Su Lie, was in the wrong, he was still a direct descendant of our Su Clan. Could it be that we're going to let him die in vain?"
Su Nan looked at Su Bo Ya with a face full of anger.
"Humph!"
Su Bo Ya coldly snorted. "Killing a direct descendant of my Su Clan is tantamount to slapping my Su Clan's face …. Pass down the order to track down the culprit! If there's anyone who provides clues, they'll be rewarded with 10,000 silver! "
Rewarded with 10,000 silver?
At dawn the next day, when Duan Lingtian had just arrived at the classroom, he heard some of the students in the class discussing what happened in the Su Clan last night.
"That Su Clan is really stingy. The life of a direct descendant is only worth 10,000 silver in their eyes?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze was strange, but he was extremely delighted in his heart.
Before long, a trace of coldness appeared in Duan Lingtian's eyes. "Su Nan, what happened last night was only the beginning …. Since you want to play, then I'll play along with your Su Clan!"
Su Nan, the Su Clan's Grand Elder, the mastermind who forced Su Li to leave!
That afternoon, Duan Lingtian sat cross-legged on a large tree at the side of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds and cultivated as usual.
Bang!
The bottleneck that he originally thought would require a period of time to break through was instantly broken through under Duan Lingtian's concentrated cultivation.
His cultivation had officially stepped into the sixth level of the Core Formation Stage!
"Broke through?"
Duan Lingtian opened his eyes and was slightly surprised. "How could it be so fast?"
Duan Lingtian didn't know.
The cultivation of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique walked the path of being overbearing and following one's heart.
This time, because of Su Li's departure, his mentality underwent a huge change. It was as if he'd returned to being the iron-blooded weapons specialist from his previous life who had no scruples ….
As long as it's someone who bullies my friends, brothers, or family, then I'll definitely return the favor tenfold, hundredfold, thousandfold, or even ten-thousandfold!
This kind of mentality just happened to be in line with the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique's overbearing and following one's heart. It also allowed Duan Lingtian's cultivation to advance at a rapid pace, directly breaking through the bottleneck of the fifth level of the Core Formation Stage and stepping into the sixth level of the Core Formation Stage in one go!
Even to the extent that as long as Duan Lingtian maintained this kind of mentality, his future cultivation speed of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique would surely be able to maintain a rapid pace of advancement!
After all, the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique was a cultivation technique of the same level as the supreme cultivation technique of the Samsara Emperor Wu, the Triple Life Rebirth Technique ….
Even surpassing top cultivation techniques like the Han Bing's God's Sword Technique, the Demonic Beauty Divine Technique, and the Sun-Moon Star Technique!
After breaking through to the sixth level of the Core Formation Stage, Duan Lingtian was overjoyed in his heart.
"When I return tonight, I'll refine another Dragon Blood Pill and directly complete the tempering of my fleshly body with Origin Energy …. After that, I can continue charging towards the seventh level of the Core Formation Stage!"
Duan Lingtian was slightly excited in his heart.
Once he completed the tempering of his fleshly body for the sixth level of the Core Formation Stage, he wouldn't need to use the Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword and would be able to exert the strength of 16 ancient mammoths!
As a grade eight spirit weapon, the Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword was able to increase his strength by almost 20% ….
At that time, if he utilized the Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword, he would be able to exert the strength of 19 ancient mammoths!
An ordinary ninth level Core Formation martial artist only possessed the strength of 12 ancient mammoths, and if he wanted to exert the strength of 19 ancient mammoths, he would have to rely on a grade four spirit weapon.
However, not to mention the Crimson Sky Kingdom, even the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom that had numerous sects and experts like the clouds might not possess a grade four spirit weapon.
It could be said that after tonight, Duan Lingtian ….
Even in the entire Crimson Sky Kingdom, or even in the entire Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, he could be said to be invincible below the Origin Core Stage!
At dusk, after Duan Lingtian left Paladin Academy, his brows slightly knit.
"Interesting …."
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a trace of an imperceptible sneer.
He noticed that besides his subordinates, Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang, there were another three people that were observing him from the shadows ….
"Alas, are the people of this world so unprofessional when it comes to tracking?"
Duan Lingtian shrugged, then walked into a small alley in the distance with a familiarity.
Not long after he entered the small alley, three figures seemed to have transformed into three gusts of wind that flashed directly towards Duan Lingtian, then they split into a triangle and completely surrounded Duan Lingtian.
These were three middle-aged men with cold and expressionless faces.
Their icy cold eyes stared at Duan Lingtian as if they were looking at a dead man.
"Could it be that your master thinks that just the three of you are sufficient to take my life?"
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a trace of a sneer. He vaguely sensed that the cultivations of these three people were between the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage and the third level of the Nascent Soul Stage ….
It was even to the extent that they were inferior to the fatty, Su Lie, from the Bright Star Inn last night.
"Target confirmed, kill!"
One of the middle-aged men spoke with an incomparably icy cold voice, and as soon as he finished speaking, his entire body moved, pouncing towards Duan Lingtian.
The other two middle-aged men moved along with him.
300 ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared above the person that spoke, and he was obviously a second level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist.
The other two were both first level Nascent Soul Stage martial artists.
Duan Lingtian didn't have any intention of dodging when facing the joint forces of the three people, and it was even to the extent that he didn't allow the two little pythons under his sleeve to attack.
At practically the instant the three people pounced towards Duan Lingtian.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two figures that were a few times faster than the three people seemed to have transformed into two bolts of lightning as they instantly flashed into the battlefield and stood by Duan Lingtian's side, protecting Duan Lingtian behind them.
In the air above the two people, the strength of 1,000 ancient mammoths surged out!
"Seventh level of the Core Formation Stage!"
The three middle-aged men's faces went pale.
"The information is wrong, let's go!"
The second level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist's body trembled in the air as he stomped on the ground, desiring to borrow the force to flee.
The other two people hurriedly stopped as well and fled in two different directions.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort accompanied by a figure that was like a bolt of lightning instantly passed by the second level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist.
The other figure that was like a bolt of lightning caught up to the other two first level Nascent Soul Stage martial artists.
"Leave them alive!"
Duan Lingtian's gaze focused slightly as he ordered.
He wanted to know who sent these three people ….
No matter who sent them, he would make the other party pay the price for this!
After a short moment, Zhang Qian's palm descended and heavily injured the second level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist, then like an eagle catching a chick, he brought the second level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist before Duan Lingtian.
On the other side, after Zhao Gang killed one of the first level Nascent Soul Stage martial artists, he captured the other person.
"As long as you tell me who sent you, I can spare your lives."
Duan Lingtian slowly walked out and his gaze descended onto the two middle-aged men with ghastly pale complexions. His voice was cold and indifferent, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian's face went pale!
A scene that only appeared in martial arts novels from his previous life appeared before his eyes.
