Clarity City was the city Duan Lingtian was currently in. It was a small city at the southern border of the Western Region. Just now, from the words of some of the customers in the restaurant, he had a certain understanding of the distribution of forces in this city.
Apart from the Sectless Cultivators Alliance, the strongest forces in Clarity City were the three great clans.
The three great clans were the Feng Clan, the Qiu Clan, and the Eastern Fang Clan. They were third-rate forces in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
The Feng Clan was the strongest among the three great clans.
'Is Qiu Mu Qing from the Qiu Clan?'
Duan Ling Tian could not help but speculate inwardly when he heard Dongfang Zhu's condescending words.
"Boy, didn't you hear what I said?"
Dongfang Zhu was enraged when he saw Duan Lingtian had ignored him. His eyes flashed coldly as though he was about to devour Duan Lingtian.
He was the Second Young Master of the Eastern Fang Clan. When had he ever been ignored in Clarity City?
However, Duan Lingtian continued to ignore him. He turned to look at Qiu Mu Qing and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be the only daughter of the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan, the Young Miss of Qiu Clan, right?"
Duan Lingtian had heard the customers in the restaurant mention the Young Miss of Qiu Clan earlier. However, they did not mention her name.
Moreover, the customers had also mentioned the situation in Clarity City.
Although the three great clans in Clarity City were on par with each other, the Feng Clan was the strongest among them. The other two clans had to band together to avoid being defeated by the Feng Clan.
The other two clans, the Qiu Clan and the Eastern Fang Clan, had been trying to get closer to each other as well.
There was no doubt the marriage would strengthen the relationship between the two clans.
Rumor had it that the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan intended to betroth his only daughter to the Young Master of the Eastern Fang Clan.
However, rumor had it that the Young Miss of Qiu Clan did not like the Young Master of the Eastern Fang Clan. Due to this reason, the marriage had been delayed for a long time.
At first, Duan Lingtian did not react.
Now that he had regained his senses, he guessed that the white-clad woman next to him and the self-proclaimed Second Young Master of the Dong Fang Family sitting opposite him were most likely the two parties involved.
Duan Lingtian was very close to Qiu Mu Qing when he spoke to her.
Qiu Mu Qing blushed when she felt Duan Lingtian's warm breath. She asked in surprise, "You … You know me?"
"I don't know him. I guessed."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. At the same time, he realized he had misunderstood Qiu Mu Qing.
The First Miss of the Qiu Clan had no choice but to be together with the Second Young Master of the Dong Fang Clan, Dongfang Zhu. It was likely that the Qiu Clan behind her had forced her to interact with Dongfang Zhu so that they would develop feelings for each other.
It was not difficult for Duan Lingtian to guess.
In that case, it made sense why Qiu Mu Qing would eat with Dongfang Zhu even though she hated him.
"You guessed?"
Qiu Mu Qing was slightly surprised. However, she did not doubt Duan Lingtian's words.
She had a good impression of this man who stood out from the crowd, and she could tell that he wasn't trying to attract her attention by saying those words.
"I heard you're being harassed by a toad from the Dong Fang Family … I guessed it when I heard the toad chirping in my ear earlier."
Duan Lingtian replied in a timely manner.
He did not hold back when he spoke.
"Pfft!"
Qiu Mu Qing was stunned when she heard Duan Lingtian's words. She could not help but cover her mouth and laugh when she heard them. Her eyebrows were curved into crescents, and she looked even more charming at this moment.
Duan Ling Tian could not help but be dazed when he saw this.
Qiu Mu Qing was even more beautiful when she laughed.
At this moment, Qiu Mu Qing's beauty was comparable to Kerr and Li Fei.
Qiu Mu Qing's cheeks flushed when she saw Duan Lingtian looking at her in a daze. Even her neck was flushed red. She looked as shy as a young girl.
Toad?
Dongfang Zhu who was sitting opposite Duan Lingtian and Qiu Mu Qing was stunned when he heard Duan Lingtian's words.
He was not stupid. Naturally, he knew Duan Lingtian was referring to him as a toad.
However, he did not expect Duan Lingtian would dare to offend him.
He did not expect someone would dare to call him a toad in Clarity City.
When Dongfang Zhu regained his senses, he saw Qiu Mu Qing acting shy in front of Duan Lingtian. He was so furious that he could not suppress his anger at all.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
Finally, after taking a few deep breaths, Dongfang Zhu lost his temper.
"Brat, you're seeking death!"
Dongfang Zhu shouted as he rose to his feet. Without saying a word, he clenched his right hand into a fist that was surrounded by Saint Energy and charged toward Duan Lingtian.
"Watch out!"
Qiu Mu Qing who was acting shy in front of Duan Lingtian was horrified when she saw Dongfang Zhu attacking Duan Lingtian. She hastily stood up to stop Dongfang Zhu.
However, since her strength was on par with Dongfang Zhu, she did not have time to save Duan Lingtian.
Smack!
While Qiu Mu Qing was panicking, a crisp sound rang in the air. Then, a powerful shockwave swept out from the source of the sound, creating a hurricane in the restaurant.
At the same time, the commotion at Duan Ling Tian's table had attracted the attention of all the customers in the restaurant.
"Huh? Isn't that Dongfang Zhu, the Second Young Master of the Eastern Fang Family? "
"Isn't the white-clad woman standing opposite him Qiu Mu Qing, the Eldest Miss of the Qiu Clan?"
"So, he's Qiu Mu Qing? As expected of the most beautiful woman in Clarity City. She's so beautiful that even the moon and flowers would be put to shame! "
"Although the Second Young Master of the Eastern Fang Family is good-looking, he's not a good match for the Eldest Miss Qiu in terms of appearance and bearing!"
"I think so too. On the contrary, the purple-clothed youth beside First Young Miss Qiu, no matter if it is appearance or temperament, is far superior to the Dongfang Family's Second Young Master … When he and First Young Miss Qiu stand together, they really are like a golden couple! "
"I think the Eldest Miss Qiu is a good match for the purple-clad young man next to her."
"What are they doing? Are they jealous of each other? "
…
The customers in the restaurant began to discuss among themselves very quickly.
They did not care about Dongfang Zhu's background at all. They spoke of their thoughts without any hesitation.
In Clarity City, apart from the three great clans, sectless cultivators like them had their own alliances as well.
For this reason, they were not worried the Eastern Fang Family would seek revenge on them over such a trivial matter.
Qiu Mu Qing's cheeks flushed when she heard the customers' words. At the same time, she stole a glance at Duan Lingtian. She sighed in relief when she saw Duan Lingtian was not looking at her.
"He's so strong?"
Qiu Mu Qing's eyes shone brightly when she saw Duan Ling Tian casually grabbing Dongfang Zhu's fist, causing Dongfang Zhu's face to turn red and his body to tremble.
"This purple-clad young man seems to be very strong!"
"That's right. Dongfang Zhu is at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage, but he's as weak as a three-year-old child in front of this purple-clad young man. "
"The Second Young Master of the Eastern Fang Family is only so-so!"
"He wants to marry the most beautiful woman in Clarity City with such a weak strength? He must be dreaming! In my opinion, only a prodigy like this purple-clad young man is worthy of the most beautiful woman in Clarity City! "
"I think so too."
…
A commotion broke out among the customers in the restaurant when they saw Dongfang Zhu was powerless in front of Duan Lingtian.
They were not stingy with their praise for Duan Lingtian.
Moreover, they even said that only a prodigy like Duan Lingtian was worthy of the most beautiful woman in Clarity City, Qiu Mu Qing!
Dongfang Zhu's face turned red when he heard the customers' words.
However, the intense pain from his hand caused his face to turn red. His face was a mixture of red and green, making him look exceptionally interesting.
"I don't care who you are, you better let go of me now. Otherwise, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"
Dongfang Zhu roared angrily as he struggled. He did not hesitate to threaten Duan Lingtian.
"This day next year will be the anniversary of my death?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes turned cold when he heard Dongfang Zhu's words. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth as he called out to Huo Lao who was in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. "Huo Lao, help me devour his Innate Spiritual Root!"
"Devour his Innate Spiritual Root in front of so many people?"
When Elder Huo saw the scene, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Don't worry! With my current strength, I can easily suppress even the strongest person in this city! "
Duan Lingtian said domineeringly.
Based on his words, it was obvious he was extremely confident.
The most powerful clan in Clarity City, the Feng Clan, was only a third-rate force.
In the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, there were only a handful of people whose cultivation base was at the Saint Celestial Stage or above.
Let alone those at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage or above, they might not even have a powerhouse at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
If that was the case, what did he have to fear?
Duan Lingtian was currently ranked at the 421st place on the Supreme Saint Ranking. Although it was due to the Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword, the Jasper Celestial Sword, it was still a part of his strength!
"Let's begin then."
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Huo Lao no longer hesitated. He called out to Duan Lingtian and cooperated with Duan Lingtian to devour Dongfang Zhu's Innate Spiritual Root.
"It's only a yellow Innate Spiritual Root."
Soon after, Huo Lao's voice rang in the air.
"It's fine. No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat! Let's slowly accumulate it. "
Duan Lingtian replied indifferently.
