Of course, besides the Xiao Clan, Duan Lingtian also entered the Imperial Palace and asked the Emperor to help him gather these materials.
Besides that, he also went to the Divine Might Marquis Estate and the Duan Clan.
The Duan Clan now took Duan Lingtian to be their hope ….
Especially when the higher-ups of the Duan Clan heard that Duan Lingtian would leave the Crimson Sky Kingdom a month from now and head to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom to join one of the five great sects of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, they even unconditionally agreed to Duan Lingtian's request.
"Kid, our Duan Clan will pay for the materials you entrusted others to gather!"
The Duan Clan's Grand Elder, Duan Zhen, said straightforwardly.
"Then I'll thank Grand Elder first."
Duan Lingtian smiled and didn't be courteous. In any case, he and the Duan Clan both took what they needed.
What the Duan Clan wanted was the Void Advancement Pill.
Even if he couldn't obtain it from the top sects of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, he would be able to refine it himself once his cultivation stepped into the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage and became a Grade Five Alchemist.
After leaving the Duan Clan, Duan Lingtian went to the Su Clan.
The Su Clan's Patriarch, Su Bo Ya, personally welcomed Duan Lingtian in. "Commander Duan!"
Duan Lingtian went straight to the point. "Patriarch Su, I came to find you this time because I want you to help me gather some materials …. I'll come to collect them one month from now. At that time, Patriarch Su can just give me a price."
"That's naturally not a problem."
Su Bo Ya nodded and received the paper that Duan Lingtian had written a pile of materials on.
His gaze was extremely complicated.
That day, he was still discussing with the Su Clan elders on how to deal with Duan Lingtian.
But in the blink of an eye, Duan Lingtian had suddenly made a huge turnaround, and even their Su Clan didn't dare offend him.
Moreover, when their Su Clan's Grand Elder Su Nan went missing that day, he suspected that it was related to the person before him …. However, not to mention that he didn't have any evidence, even if he did, he wouldn't dare look for trouble with Duan Lingtian.
To a certain extent, Duan Lingtian was already tied to the Divine Might Marquis Estate and the Imperial Family.
It was far beyond what the Su Clan could contend against!
"Thank you, Clan Leader Su. Farewell."
Duan Lingtian took his leave and walked out of the hall.
Right at this moment, Duan Lingtian became vigilant in his heart, and his figure moved, yet he noticed a figure flashing over. The figure was a silver grade eight spirit sword that flickered with a sheen that was pitch black like ink, and it was obviously tainted with strong poison.
"Duan Lingtian, I want you dead!"
The person charged towards Duan Lingtian once again. However, his ninth level Body Tempering Stage cultivation was not worth mentioning in front of Duan Lingtian, and he was sent flying with a single kick from Duan Lingtian.
"Su Tong, I didn't expect you to be so vicious even without your cultivation."
Duan Lingtian's expression darkened. The person who had ambushed him was Su Tong.
This was also the reason why his Spiritual Force didn't sense anything.
A ninth level Body Tempering Stage martial artist was unable to pose any threat to him.
Su Tong was injured by Duan Lingtian's kick and crashed to the ground. It was difficult for him to stand up again, and he stared viciously at Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, you crippled my Dantian and caused the death of my grandfather. I can't live under the same sky as you!"
"Can't live under the same sky as you?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze went cold. This Su Tong was really thickheaded!
"Su Tong!"
At this moment, Su Bo Ya, who noticed the commotion, came out, and his face sank when he saw the scene before him. "What're you doing?"
"Clan Leader, I want to take revenge for my grandfather, and take revenge for myself!"
Su Tong said coldly.
"Enough! From today onwards, the enmity between you and Duan Lingtian is written off … If what happened today happens again, I'll expel you from the Su Clan! "
Su Bo Ya's gaze slightly frowned. This Su Tong had really gone mad.
Not to mention a cripple like him, even the entire Su Clan couldn't afford to offend the current Duan Lingtian.
Su Tong's body trembled when he heard this, and he lowered his head. The hatred accumulated in his eyes was almost able to cause his eyes to explode.
"Clan Leader Su, farewell."
Duan Lingtian nodded to Su Bo Ya, then left the Su Clan and returned to his own courtyard house.
At this moment, the sky had darkened.
However, just as he walked to the entrance of the courtyard house, Duan Lingtian noticed that a figure seemed to have transformed into a ghost, silently descending before his eyes …
Whoosh!
And at almost the same time, Xiong Quan appeared behind Duan Lingtian.
All along the way, Xiong Quan concealed himself by Duan Lingtian's side, as if he had transformed into Duan Lingtian's shadow, following him like a shadow.
"It's you!"
Through the night, Duan Lingtian clearly saw the attire of the person before him and recognized him.
Black clothes, a Ghost King mask on his face …
Wasn't this person the Ghost Masked Man that killed the Half-step Void Stage expert by Duan Ru Lei's side that day?
According to Duan Lingtian's guess, it was extremely likely that this person was the elusive leader of the Ghastly Shadow assassin organization …
Of course, it was only a guess.
"Follow me."
A hoarse voice sounded out from the person's mouth.
This was also the first time Duan Lingtian had heard this person speak.
Duan Lingtian still remembered that when he was in Duan Ru Lei's courtyard house that day, from the moment this Ghost Masked Man appeared until the moment he killed the old man, he didn't say a single word from the beginning until the end.
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian noticed that the Ghost Masked Man left with a speed that he could catch up to.
"Let's go!"
Although he didn't know why the Ghost Masked Man did this, Duan Lingtian still brought Xiong Quan along and followed.
He could sense that the Ghost Masked Man didn't have any ill intent towards him.
Finally, the Ghost Masked Man brought Duan Lingtian into an uninhabited courtyard house, then walked into a room and lit up a lamp.
"You're looking for me for something?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the Ghost Masked Man before him. When they were on the road earlier, he felt that the Ghost Masked Man's back was slightly familiar, as if he'd seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't recall where for a while.
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian noticed that the Ghost Masked Man actually stretched out his hand to remove his mask …
The Ghost Masked Man's true appearance was completely exposed before Duan Lingtian's eyes.
"Si … Teacher Sima!"
Duan Lingtian was stunned. No matter what, he never would have imagined that the Ghost Masked Man that appeared that day was actually his teacher in Paladin Academy's Star Mastermind Department, as well as the Dean of Paladin Academy, Sima Chang Feng!
No wonder he felt that the Ghost Masked Man's back was slightly familiar all along the way.
Sima Chang Feng lightly smiled. "Kid, you seem to have offended quite a few people …"
Duan Lingtian was stunned. "Teacher, what do you mean?"
"You just arrived at the Imperial City today, right? At dusk, someone came to the Ghastly Shadow's stronghold to buy your life … "
Sima Chang Feng glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian suddenly started laughing. "Teacher, you're the leader of the Ghastly Shadow Organization?"
Sima Chang Feng lightly smiled, but didn't admit nor deny it.
But Duan Lingtian already had an answer in his heart.
He once thought that Sima Chang Feng was the fourth Void Stage expert that was hidden within the Crimson Sky Kingdom, but now it would seem that this wasn't the case.
Sima Chang Feng was the elusive leader of the Ghastly Shadow Organization!
"Teacher, who bought my life?"
Duan Lingtian changed the question, and his eyes flickered with a dense flowing light.
"Now that you mention it, that person has a deep relationship with you."
Sima Chang Feng smiled.
"Teacher, don't keep me in suspense … Who is it?"
Duan Lingtian laughed bitterly and slightly lost his patience. He really missed the silent Ghostmasked Man now.
"Duan Lingxing's wife, and Duan Lingxing's mother … Yun Ping!"
Sima Chang Feng slowly said.
Yun Ping?
This name was extremely unfamiliar to Duan Lingtian.
However, after knowing her identity, he was able to understand why she wanted to buy his life.
She was really like a ghost that wouldn't go away!
"Do you need me to help you deal with it?"
Sima Chang Feng asked Duan Lingtian with a spurious smile.
"Help me deal with it for free?"
Duan Lingtian laughed as well.
"Little fellow, you're dreaming. Do you still lack that bit of money? If I help you deal with it, I naturally have to take money. "
Sima Chang Feng laughed as he scolded.
"Teacher."
Duan Lingtian's expression suddenly turned serious. "My Uncle Nie seems to not know that you're the leader of the Ghastly Shadow Organization … Does his Majesty know?"
Sima Chang Feng nodded. "His Majesty knows. Speaking of which, this Ghastly Shadow Organization was established by his Majesty. "
"Teacher Sima, I'm very curious why you're so willing to serve his Majesty."
Duan Lingtian asked curiously. He believed that with Sima Chang Feng's strength, he was completely not restrained by the Emperor.
Sima Chang Feng's gaze became distant when he heard this, and he sighed after a long time. "That year, it was his Majesty who saved my life … I owe him."
Duan Lingtian came to a sudden understanding and didn't ask in detail.
This reason was already enough.
The debt of saving one's life was enough to make one sacrifice their lives.
Deep in the night, the autumn wind rustled.
In the inner city, in a quaint inn.
In a first-class guest room, a fat woman was walking back and forth, and every step she took seemed to be able to cause the ground to tremble slightly.
"Little bastard, with the Ghastly Shadow Organization making a move this time, I'll make you die without a burial ground!"
The fat woman's voice revealed gloominess and viciousness, as if so long as the person she hated to the bone stood before her, she would tear him into pieces at the first possible moment.
"Is that so?"
Just at this moment, an icy cold voice sounded out from the roof.
Subsequently, the roof was blasted open.
A purple figure descended from the sky.
It was precisely Duan Lingtian!
Yun Ping noticed the commotion and her face went grim, and when she saw Duan Lingtian, her gaze abruptly went cold. "Little bastard, it's you!"
Although she'd never seen Duan Lingtian after he grew up, the outline of Duan Lingtian's face was 60% to 70% similar to Duan Rufeng's, allowing her to recognize Duan Lingtian with a single glance.
"Little bastard?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes went cold and killing intent flickered within.
Noticing the killing intent within Duan Lingtian's eyes, Yun Ping shuddered, and only now did she realize that Duan Lingtian was still an Origin Core martial artist.
Instantly, a wisp of ghastly pale appeared on her chubby face, and her chubby body even started to lightly tremble.
Duan Lingtian took a step forward, and a jade green grade eight spirit sword appeared out of thin air in his hand. The moonlight that passed through the broken roof sprinkled down, flickering with an icy cold sheen …
"Little bastard, I'll kill you and take revenge for my Xing 'er!"
