No matter what, with the death of Mortal Emperor Chu, the Imperial Family finally recovered its calm.
As for the rest of the matter, it had nothing to do with Duan Lingtian.
The matter this time was too shocking, so the Emperor sealed off the news and didn't allow the news to spread.
The Imperial City was still peaceful …
Since returning from the Imperial Palace that day, Duan Lingtian had returned the 12 members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, including Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang, to the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang had followed Duan Lingtian for such a long time, and Duan Lingtian had taught them everything he could. It could be considered that he'd fulfilled his promise to the Divine Might Marquis that day.
Half a month later, the Emperor once again summoned Duan Lingtian.
When Duan Lingtian saw the large stack of gold bills before him, his eyes shone.
Every single one of these gold bills was of a denomination of 10,000 gold.
A total of 1,000.
10,000,000 gold!
Without the slightest hesitation, Duan Lingtian put away all the gold bills, then looked at the Emperor. "Thank you, your Majesty."
"Commander Duan, I heard the Divine Might Marquis say that you returned the 12 members of your Embroidered Uniform Guard to him? You …. "
The Emperor looked at Duan Lingtian with a curious expression, as he didn't know why Duan Lingtian would do this.
"Your Majesty, actually, when I asked you to set up the Embroidered Uniform Guard for me that day, I only wanted to play around …. Now I've played enough, so I ask your Majesty to disband this organization. Besides that, the antidote medicinal pill I gave your Majesty that day was actually reserved. I'm still confident in directly curing your Majesty's poison. "
As Duan Lingtian spoke, he passed a complete grade nine Spirit Cleansing Pill to the Emperor.
After the Emperor consumed it and dissolved the medicinal strength, he noticed that the poison in his body was completely cured, and his face couldn't help but emit a shocked expression.
The Emperor glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian. "Commander Duan, looks like you really did reserve some of your strength to me in the past …."
Duan Lingtian laughed embarrassedly.
"Why don't you continue to reserve some of your strength now?"
The Emperor asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, there's no meaning in me continuing to hold back now … I'm preparing to leave the Crimson Sky Kingdom and head to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom soon."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled, his eyes revealing traces of expectation.
"Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom?"
The Emperor was shocked, but soon recovered and nodded. "With Commander Duan's natural talent, staying in the Crimson Sky Kingdom is indeed a waste of talent …. However, I will preserve the Embroidered Uniform Guard organization. When Commander Duan is tired outside, the Crimson Sky Kingdom will always welcome you back. At that time, no matter who the Emperor is, you'll still be the one and only Commander of the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Embroidered Uniform Guard. This is my promise to you! "
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Duan Lingtian quickly thanked him.
"Also, before you leave, if you have any needs, you can tell us. We will satisfy your requests."
The Emperor added.
Duan Lingtian thanked him again.
"Right."
The Emperor suddenly looked at Duan Lingtian, and his gaze became slightly dubious. "Commander Duan, I wonder what you think of my daughter, Bi Yao?"
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled. "Princess Bi Yao is beautiful and moving, like a celestial maiden that has fallen into the mortal world. She's one of the few beauties I've seen."
"Then if I betroth Princess Bi Yao to you, will you agree?"
The Emperor glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian and asked.
Duan Lingtian was stunned, as he never imagined that the Emperor would be so direct. "Your Majesty, you don't know, but I already have two fiancées at home …. As for Princess Bi Yao, I don't have that kind of feeling towards her for now, and it's more like a friendship between friends."
"I understand."
The Emperor nodded.
Not long after Duan Lingtian left.
A beautiful figure arrived at the throne room and looked at the Emperor. "Imperial Father, what … did he say?"
The Emperor sighed. "Bi Yao, he said he doesn't have that kind of feeling towards you for now, and it's more like a friendship between friends."
"He … Did he really say that?"
The beautiful figure lightly trembled, and her voice that was like a silver bell had a trace of bitterness mixed within.
After Duan Lingtian left the Imperial Palace, he went to buy five Ferghana Horses.
At noon that day, Duan Lingtian, Li Rou, Li Fei, Kerr, and Xiong Quan each rode a Ferghana Horse and left the Imperial City, heading directly towards Swallow Mountain County.
This time, Duan Lingtian intended to leave the Crimson Sky Kingdom for the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, and he didn't know when he would be able to return.
So, Duan Lingtian intended to return to Fresh Breeze Town's Li clan to take a look, and it could be considered as returning home in glory.
After that, he'd accompany Li Fei to visit her grandfather at the Aurora City's Li Clan.
An ordinary horse would require half a year to complete the journey, but a Ferghana Horse only required two months.
Two months later, Duan Lingtian's group walked on the public road outside Aurora City, but they didn't enter Aurora City. Instead, they continued forward and headed towards the Fresh Breeze Town's Li clan.
They wouldn't be able to stay in the Fresh Breeze Town's Li clan for long, at most for one night.
It was the same for returning to the Aurora City's Li clan tomorrow.
This was also the first time that Li Fei was returning to Fresh Breeze Town with Duan Lingtian. Li Fei's heart was filled with curiosity and yearning towards the place where Duan Lingtian grew up.
Fresh Breeze Town was still the same Fresh Breeze Town as before.
Duan Lingtian's group of five spurred their horses as they walked into Fresh Breeze Town, and everywhere they passed, they attracted the gazes of everyone.
After all, five Ferghana Horses were too shocking.
Five Ferghana Horses were equivalent to 50,000 gold and 5,000,000 silver ….
This amount of money wasn't much in the eyes of the current Duan Lingtian, but to the people of Fresh Breeze Town, it was an astronomical figure.
"Who are they?"
The group of Fresh Breeze Town residents were surprised.
"Eh …. That looks like 'Duan Lingtian'!"
In next to no time, someone recognized Duan Ling Tian. Although three years had passed and the childishness on Duan Ling Tian's face had completely faded away, Duan Ling Tian's appearance hadn't changed much.
"It's really Duan Lingtian!"
"I didn't expect him to come back again."
"Yeah, the last time he came back, he annihilated the Fang Family. This time, he wouldn't be thinking of annihilating the Chen Family and letting the Li clan dominate the city, right?"
"It's possible!"
"The Li clan is really lucky to have produced such an outstanding disciple like Duan Lingtian, and even went to the Aurora City's Li clan."
… …
For a moment, the group of Fresh Breeze Town residents discussed animatedly.
However, they didn't connect the Duan Lingtian with the other Duan Lingtian that had recently been the talk of the town.
After all, in their opinion, it was already not bad that Duan Lingtian could go to Aurora City.
They never thought that the Duan Lingtian from the Imperial City would be the same person as the Duan Lingtian from Fresh Breeze Town.
Hearing the words of the group of Fresh Breeze Town residents, the corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth twitched.
Annihilate the Chen Family?
In the eyes of these people, was he such a violent person?
Kerr and Li Fei, who were riding beside Duan Lingtian, had long since covered their mouths and laughed lightly.
"Let's go home!"
Duan Lingtian urged his horse forward and directly went to the Li clan's mansion.
When the members of the Li clan found out that Duan Lingtian had returned, they all came out to welcome him. Below the Patriarch, Li Nanfeng, all the elders in the Li clan's mansion had all come out to welcome him.
"Patriarch, elders!"
Duan Lingtian greeted the Patriarch and the Li clan elders.
"It's good that you're back. Come in quickly."
Li Nanfeng and the others welcomed Duan Lingtian and the others in.
Following the return of Duan Lingtian, the entire Li clan's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, bustling as if it was the new year.
"Fifth Elder, where's Li Xuan?"
After catching up with each other, Duan Lingtian still hadn't seen the little fatty, Li Xuan, and felt that it was somewhat strange.
Logically speaking, if the little fatty knew that he had returned, he should have run over at the first possible moment.
Fifth Elder, Li Ting, smiled. "Li Xuan went to the Aurora City's Li Clan two years ago … What? You didn't come back from there?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "No. We didn't. We came back from the Imperial City and directly returned to Fresh Breeze Town. We plan to go to Aurora City tomorrow. "
"You're leaving tomorrow?"
Li Ting was slightly surprised.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded and lightly smiled. "Now that you mention it, I came back this time to bid farewell to the Patriarch and elders."
"Bid farewell?"
For a moment, all the higher-ups of the Li clan were slightly puzzled.
"I intend to leave the Crimson Sky Kingdom and head to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom."
Duan Lingtian explained.
Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom!
Duan Lingtian's words caused the Patriarch, Li Nanfeng, and the group of Li clan elders to be shocked.
The little fellow that only started to display natural talent three years ago was now about to leave the Crimson Sky Kingdom and head to the even vaster stage of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom?
"Duan Lingtian, your current cultivation …."
Li Nanfeng looked at Duan Lingtian and asked with slight hesitation.
"Third level of the Origin Core Stage."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled and slowly said.
Instantly, all the higher-ups of the Li clan were dumbstruck and were unable to recover from their shock for a long time ….
"I …."
Li Nanfeng was slightly speechless, then he glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, you're the same person as the Duan Lingtian that's been giving rise to much discussion in the Crimson Sky Kingdom recently?"
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Whoosh!
A single stone gave rise to a thousand ripples, and all the higher-ups of the Li clan were once again stunned.
A direct descendant of the Duan clan.
The number one genius of the Crimson Sky Kingdom's younger generation.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard's Commander.
It was actually the youth that came from their Fresh Breeze Town's Li clan?
They felt a wave of excitement in their hearts.
"In that case, your father is that Duan Rufeng."
Li Nanfeng sighed. "No wonder I never heard your mother mention your father. So it turns out that your father was once a peerless genius like you, whose name spread throughout the Crimson Sky Kingdom …. However, you're even more abnormal than your father at that time."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled, then he withdrew a large stack of silver from his pocket and passed it to Li Nanfeng. "Patriarch, here's 10 million silver. It's a small token of my appreciation to the clan."
Li Nanfeng didn't accept it. "Duan Lingtian, if you're going to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, you'll surely have to join one of those large sects …. The competition between large sects will surely be intense, so you should keep this money to buy medicinal pills and cultivate properly."
"Exactly."
"Yeah, you can keep it for yourself."
"Currently, most of the businesses in Fresh Breeze Town are in the hands of our Li clan. We don't lack money."
...
The other elders persuaded him one after another.
In the end, Duan Lingtian was truly helpless and could only keep the money.
He could feel that the group of people before him really wanted the best for him, and it caused a trace of warmth to arise within his heart.
That night, Duan Lingtian stayed in his own courtyard.
There were three rooms in the courtyard. His mother, Li Rou, stayed in her own room. Duan Lingtian brought Kerr and Li Fei to stay in Kerr's room.
