Bang!
Facing Yun Ping's enormous body that pounced over, Duan Lingtian kicked out, sending Yun Ping flying to collide with the wall.
However, Yun Ping, who had a body of fat protecting her body, quickly stood up as if she was completely fine, and she stared viciously at Duan Lingtian. "Little bastard, what I regret the most in my lifetime is that when I drove your mother out of the Duan Clan that day, I didn't kill you while you were still in your infancy!"
Duan Lingtian frowned. "You drove my mother out of the Duan Clan?"
He'd never heard his mother, Li Rou, mention this.
"Exactly!"
Yun Ping sneered. "That year, it was I who instigated others to drive your mother out! I originally thought that once a little bastard like you left the Duan Clan, you were nothing to worry about … But I never imagined that 10 years later, you'd become the greatest hidden danger. I regret it! "
As she finished speaking, Yun Ping was slightly deranged.
As far as she was concerned, if she had killed the infancy Duan Lingtian that day, then everything that happened later wouldn't have happened.
Her most beloved son also wouldn't have died!
"Hmph!"
Duan Lingtian's gaze was cold and indifferent as he said in a low voice, "Instead of regretting this, why don't you regret that you didn't teach your son well … The enmity between my father and your husband was the enmity of the previous generation! However, your son shifted all of this onto me, and even ruthlessly tried to kill me. "
"If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have died!"
As he finished speaking, Duan Lingtian's tone was incomparably gloomy …
"You little bastard, your life is lowly like grass. So what if my son killed you? Could it be that your life can be compared to my son's life? "
Yun Ping's eyes revealed madness. "Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to take revenge for my son … Otherwise, after killing you, I would kill your mother to vent the hatred in my heart!"
"You're courting death!"
Duan Lingtian couldn't endure it any longer when he heard Yun Ping's ruthless words, and his sword flashed out to enter Yun Ping's body.
A dragon had a reverse scale, and touching it would result in death …
His mother was his reverse scale!
Bang!
Yun Ping's huge body fell to the ground, causing the inn to shake.
Although she was dead, her pair of vicious eyes were still staring at Duan Lingtian fiercely. It was as if she would not let Duan Lingtian go even if she died.
Duan Lingtian glanced at Yun Ping's body indifferently. He didn't even have the interest to destroy the evidence and left directly.
The next day, a piece of news spread.
The wife of the Duan Clan's Second Master, Duan Ru Lei, lost her life in an inn in the inner city.
Towards this, the Duan Clan didn't express much, and only buried Yun Ping out of consideration for Duan Ru Lei's many years of contributions to the Duan Clan.
They could more or less guess the reason behind Yun Ping's death.
However, they would not pursue the matter.
"Tian 'er, is your second aunt's death related to you?"
In the backyard of the house, Li Rou asked Duan Lingtian with a serious face. Her eyes never left Duan Lingtian's eyes, as if she wanted to see if Duan Lingtian would lie to her.
"I killed her."
Duan Lingtian nodded and didn't deny it.
"You child … Your second uncle is already dead, and she's a widow. Why do you have to do this?"
Li Rou sighed, as if she had lost all the strength in her body, and guilt appeared on her face.
"Mom, why didn't you ask me why I killed her?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head, then he spoke of Yun Ping's actions.
"What? She looked for the Ghastly Shadow assassin organization to issue an assignment to kill you? "
Li Rou instantly stood up from her seat. Her entire body seemed to have exploded, and her face was covered in a layer of ice. "This Yun Ping deserves death! That year, it was fine if she secretly used evil means to force me to leave the Duan Clan, and I could endure it. Now, she actually wants to kill you … Tian 'er, Mom has wronged you in this matter. You've done well! "
Li Rou's sudden change in attitude shocked Duan Lingtian as well.
But Duan Lingtian was still able to perceive the concern his mother had towards him from this, and warmth couldn't help but arise in his heart.
"Mom, you really don't intend to go to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom with us?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Li Rou, and he was extremely puzzled by Li Rou's decision last night.
"Tian 'er, Mom won't be a burden to you."
Li Rou lightly smiled.
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
Duan Lingtian frowned and stared fixedly at Li Rou. "No, you're surely doing this for another reason … Is it because of Dad?"
Seeing her son see through her thoughts, Li Rou didn't conceal it and nodded. "Yes, I'm doing this for your Dad. I keep having the feeling that your Dad isn't dead, and he'll come back to look for me one day … If I stay in the Imperial City and he returns, he'll be able to find me at the first possible moment. If I leave, where do you want him to go to look for me? "
Duan Lingtian went silent. "Mom, it's already been so many years. Shouldn't you let go of some things?"
"Tian 'er, you don't believe your Dad is still alive?"
Li Rou went silent for a moment before speaking.
"This isn't a matter of believing or not … I hope he's still alive as well. But it's already been almost 20 years since he went missing … If he's still alive, he would have returned long ago. "
Duan Lingtian laughed bitterly. He naturally hoped that his deadbeat Dad would return, as in this way, his Mom would be happy as well.
But this hope was extremely slim.
"Tian 'er, you have to believe Mom. Mom really has an extremely strong intuition … Your Dad will surely return."
Li Rou persisted, and her eyes looked at Duan Lingtian with anticipation, seeming to want to obtain Duan Lingtian's acknowledgment.
Duan Lingtian sighed in his heart, but he still nodded. "Mom, I believe you. Dad will surely return."
Only now did Li Rou reveal a smile.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
Right at this moment, a black and a white bolt of lightning flashed over and directly descended onto Duan Lingtian's head.
It was precisely Little Black and Little White.
Duan Lingtian swung out his palm and grabbed the two little pythons down, then he glared at them. "You two little fellows just woke up not long ago, and you're starting to be mischievous again, right?"
Last time, Duan Lingtian had refined many Origin Strengthening Pills.
These two little pythons directly swallowed half of the pills, then fell into a deep slumber, and only awoke a few days ago …
Their strength had advanced a step further and broke through to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage!
If it was a human martial artist or an ordinary fierce beast, even if it was only at the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage, it wouldn't have any effect no matter how many Origin Strengthening Pills they consumed.
These two little pythons, however, seemed to not have such restrictions. To a certain extent, they were simply two foodies!
Of course, Duan Lingtian was still extremely happy that the Origin Strengthening Pills were able to assist the two little pythons in improving their strength.
The increase in the strength of the two little pythons also meant that his life had an additional layer of protection.
Although he had Xiong Quan, a second level Void Prying Stage martial artist that had comprehended Advanced Sword Force, by his side, Xiong Quan was bound to be unable to follow him into the top sects of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom …
Once he arrived at the top sects of the Azure Forest Imperial Palace, he could only rely on himself and these two little pythons that could be concealed under his sleeve.
"Come, I still have many Origin Strengthening Pills here, do you want some?"
Duan Lingtian withdrew a large pile of Origin Strengthening Pills, but he quickly noticed that the two little pythons turned their heads away and disdained to spare them a glance.
"You two little fellows are disdainful of this Origin Strengthening Pill now? Didn't you eat it rather happily the last time? "
Duan Lingtian laughed as he scolded.
But he faintly guessed some of the reasons.
Actually, it wasn't only the Origin Strengthening Pill.
After the two little pythons ate the Origin Increasing Pill that day, they weren't willing to touch the Origin Increasing Pill again, as if eating the Origin Increasing Pill a second time wouldn't have any benefits to them.
"If it's really because of this reason … Perhaps, I can refine other medicinal pills for them. Although the effects aren't as good as the Origin Strengthening Pill, it ought to be useful to them."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart, and a thought arose within his heart.
Within the lifetime memories of Samsara Emperor Wu, besides the Origin Strengthening Pill, there were still three other medicinal pills that were capable of increasing the cultivation speed of an Origin Core martial artist, and they were medicinal pills that he currently possessed the ability to refine.
Of course, the medicinal effects of those three medicinal pills were far inferior to the Origin Strengthening Pill.
But now, he didn't need the medicinal effect of the Origin Strengthening Pill, and he instead hoped that the other three medicinal pills would be able to allow the two little pythons to increase their strength a step further.
If the medicinal effect wasn't enough, then he'd use quantity to make up the numbers.
If 10 wasn't enough, then he'd give them 20. If 20 wasn't enough, then he'd give them 50. If 50 wasn't enough, then he'd give them 100!
In any case, these two little fellows were both gluttons, and they wouldn't die from overeating.
Doing as he thought, Duan Lingtian brought Xiong Quan out and went to the medicine store to buy the medicinal herbs he needed. The medicinal herbs required for these three medicinal pills were all ordinary, and were very easy to buy.
But what surprised Duan Lingtian was …
He'd just walked out of the medicine store's door when he saw a familiar person walking towards him.
Xiao He!
Xiao Xun's older brother.
The Xiao Clan's genius alchemist.
One year ago, at the Alchemist Guild's headquarters, the person that he cheated out of five million silver.
Glancing at Xiao He, the corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a meaningful smile, then he left with Xiong Quan.
"Hmm?"
Xiao He frowned. Could it be that the violet-clothed youth from before knew him?
But he didn't have the slightest impression of him.
Shaking his head, Xiao He didn't think any further and walked into the medicine store.
No matter what, Xiao He had no way of connecting Duan Lingtian with the violet-clothed youth that cheated him out of five million silver a year ago …
After all, that violet-clothed youth was really too ordinary.
Duan Lingtian returned home and started to get busy. The three medicinal pills he wanted to concoct were respectively the Cloud Mist Pill, Flowing Water Pill, and Crimson Jade Pill.
These three medicinal pills had similar medicinal effects, but they were all inferior to the Origin Strengthening Pill.
Whoosh!
Very quickly, Duan Lingtian took out his cauldron and started to concoct the medicinal pills.
To Duan Lingtian, he only planned to concoct ordinary medicinal pills. He only needed to spend half an hour to concoct around 10 pills of each type.
Duan Lingtian spent two hours concentrating on concocting 43 Cloud Mist Pills.
"I hope those two little fellows are willing to eat them."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"Hiss hiss ~ ~"
When he saw the little pythons' eyes light up when they saw the Cloud Mist Pills and they madly flicked their tongues, Duan Lingtian knew that his thoughts were correct.
The 43 Cloud Mist Pills were directly divided between the two little pythons!
Just when Duan Lingtian thought that the two little pythons were about to faint, he noticed that the two little pythons were instead staring at him with sparkling eyes …
"You two little fellows are simply bottomless pits!"
